European industry thrived for decades on a steady supply of cheap Russian gas, which flowed uninterrupted throughout the Cold War and other times of tension between Moscow and the West. The impact has pushed Europe to the brink of recession and threatens to inflict lasting harm on its manufacturing businesses. Unlike the U.S., Europe leaned on manufacturing and heavy industry to keep its economy chugging in recent decades. A bigger chunk of its economy comes from the likes of steelmakers, chemicals producers…

Earlier this summer, subscribers to the US streaming service HBO MAX were alarmed to discover that dozens of the platform’s offerings – from the Covid-themed heist thriller Locked Down to the recent remake of The Witches – had been quietly removed from the service, their respective Anne Hathaway performances raptured from film history like characters from the network’s own eschatological drama The Leftovers (itself, aptly, still available to stream).The news seemed like vindication to those who had long warned that…

Image via Netflix You don’t make a movie like Day Shift, a vampire-killing action flick rife with actors known for their comedic turns, and then say it was anything but a fun process. The film may not be gunning for any Oscars, but for a movie that puts Jamie Foxx on one end of a shotgun and a vampire with mad yoga skills on the other, it accomplishes exactly what it sounds like it wanted to. And now we audiences get a sneak peek at all the tomfoolery that went on behind this gory amusement park of a flick,…

Meta owned Facebook and Instagram have got several new features related to the reels. Recently, Facebook has now got more Reels remix options. This feature would let the users create their own reel by recording alongside an existing one. Users can also remix public photos by choosing from…

It was in the last box I looked in. I reached in and there was the treasure I sought: a cassette tape, battered and scratched, but its gold cover nonetheless shining through the murk of the attic. The cassette – called C86 – was one of three dozen compiled by NME during the 1980s, sold to eager readers in exchange for a £2.95 postal order to cover post and packing. It was money well spent. Several of the bands included on C86 would subsequently gallop forward in their careers – the likes of Primal Scream, the Soup…

Instagram will soon let anyone on the platform remix your new photos, as long as your account is public. There’ll be a way to turn remixing off, but you’ll have to actively opt out once the option is live — it’ll be enabled by default.

The change is meant to provide more content for Reels creators to work with as the company goes all in on short-form video in the hopes of keeping…

Hideaki Anno seems to just be doing whatever the hell he wants after he finally wrapped up Neon Genesis Evangelion (for now, at least). He got to make an Ultraman movie and he’s now directing a Kamen Rider one, letting him live out creating a new chapter for two of his lifelong superhero obsessions. And it turns out for at least one of those, he rather literally helped bring them to life.Now that Shin Ultraman has been out a while in Japan, new behind-the-scenes footage of the movie’s VFX work has been released—revealing…

Theycharacterized the change “as part of our efforts to simplify and improve the video experience on Instagram.” For most current Instagram users, posting a video prompts the app to ask if you want to share your content as a “post” or…

Image: Marvel StudiosDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has ended its theatrical run with solid reviews and a pretty good box office. Now that it’s set to hit Disney+ in a couple of days, it’s around that time that we get ourselves a blooper reel. Well, we say “blooper reel,” this one is more of a dance-off than anything else.Some of the cast—in particular Rachel McAdams and Benedict Cumberbatch as Zombie Strange—have moves that would put Peter Quill to shame. It’s actually pretty funny watching them all get…
