Last fall, Gilmore Girls made its much-anticipated return to the small screen with Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life, a four-episode revival series from Netflix. The show picked up 10 years after its original finale, plummeting viewers back into the lives of beloved mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory and their treasured town of Stars Hollow. The reboot was met with widespread acclaim and rampant, fast spurring buzz around a second season....
There is little rhyme or reason to the twists in the climax of Glass. The fact that an M. Night Shyamalan film should contain a twist ending is hardly a revelation or a spoiler, given that most of his movies to date have featured an 11th-hour surprise that changed the meaning of the movie. Unfortunately, with three twists in Glass, it seems that Shyamalan has finally run out of tricks....
M. Night Shyalaman’s Glass is projected to earn between $105-120 million at the worldwide box office during its opening weekend. After becoming something of a punching bag during an extremely rough stretch that saw such duds as Lady in the Water and After Earth, Shyamalan came roaring back to form in a big way with 2017’s Split. On its own merits, the creepy kidnapping thriller is a well-made film buoyed by an acting masterclass from James McAvoy....
About halfway through season 2 of Netflix’s GLOW, the series delivers what might be its funniest and most affecting episode to date. It’s not quite a bottle episode, GLOW smartly walks a fine line between serialized and episodic storytelling — the transition between ‘Work the Leg’ and ‘Nothing Shattered’ is a good example of the former — which has the effect of making episodes like ‘Mother of All Matches’ feel like the kind of standout episode that it is....
Apple could very well never adopt the Touch ID sensor on its flagship iPhones again, but since the pandemic started more than two years ago, rumors about this possibility ramped up. Now, with iOS 15.4 set to be released in a few weeks now, Apple shows how it could focus on Face ID for the indefinite future. Don’t get me wrong, Touch ID was a breakthrough feature when it launched with the iPhone 5s: fast, secure, and easy to use, but everything changed when Apple introduced Face ID with the iPhone X....

Google Cloud infrastructure VP and GM Sachin Gupta said the changes reflect the cloud infrastructure investments the company has made over recent years. “They are also designed to better align with how other leading cloud providers charge for similar products, so customers can more easily compare services between leading cloud providers,” Gupta said in a blog post. He added the changes would give customers “more choice in how they pay for what they use alongside new, flexible SKUs with new product options and capabilities”....

God of War director Cory Barlog tweeted out his support of The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch, acknowledging that he “absolutely love[s]” the portability of the game on the platform. The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch is certainly one of the more ambitious ports in recent memory, as CD Projekt Red’s sprawling political high fantasy adventure was renowned for both its gorgeous graphics and its impressive game world, two features that can often tax the Switch’s hardware....
Godzilla has long been portrayed as a nearly unstoppable force - hence the title “King of the Monsters” - but he secretly has a deadly weakness. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II reveals that Godzilla has two brains, one one of them is in the most unusual place, which is the key to killing the Titan (and not the oxygen destroyer, which was only capable of killing the 1954 Godzilla). True to the spirit of Godzilla, Legendary’s MonsterVerse has depicted Godzilla as the alpha predator, but with a new twist on the classic formula....

Co-relating to that the current issue of Google App v7.22 aims at fixing the connectivity issues.

Google plans to automatically start blocking annoying ads that are displayed in Chrome alongside short-form videos. This is just the latest attempt by the tech industry to improve the ad experience in general. Ads might not be popular but they are necessary for the internet to function as it currently does. Most websites use ads as a form of monetization and sometimes this can lead to sites displaying so many ads that it impacts on the user experience....

More specifically, for video content, the quick links to streaming services will surface from within the TV show, TV episode, and movie Knowledge Panels. Google notes that it will also display pricing info when available for the various streaming services. For audio, the links to music streaming services like Apple Music will appear in Knowledge Panels for artists....
George Lucas was disappointed when he first saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In 2012, Lucas sold Lucasfilm - and with it, the Star Wars franchise - to Disney for $4.05 billion. It didn’t take long for the House of Mouse to capitalize on their acquisition, and in 2015 they launched the Sequel Trilogy. There have long been reports that George Lucas wasn’t particularly impressed by Star Wars: The Force Awakens....
If you live in Germany and don’t want to carry your driver’s license everywhere anymore, there’s an app for that. Starting today, you can store your license with the governmental app “ID Wallet.” As spotted by the iPhone Ticker blog, German iPhone users can secure a digital representation of their identity card and their driver’s license on the iPhone now. After the “ID Wallet” was updated to version 1.6, it’s now officially supported by the Federal Motor Transport Authority and the Federal Printing Office....
Ghost in the Shell is a massively popular Japanese manga, anime movie, and animated series featuring stories that revolve around counter-cyberterrorism group known as “Section 9”, and one its agents Major Motoko Kusanagiof. Fans of the original and its animated adaptations understandably met news that it would be made into a live-action blockbuster with a combination of excitement and skepticism, and, while some of the earliest marketing didn’t inspire confidence, more recent trailers have looked much better....
A live-action film version of the anime/manga cyberpunk franchise Ghost in the Shell has been a long time in coming, but the one now in production at Paramount Pictures has thus far been garnering press for a reason the studio would no doubt wish was entirely different. Rather than celebrating a new incarnation of the popular series, fans have reacted poorly to the first image of Scarlet Johansson in the lead role as cyborg policewoman “The Major” - a role which is traditionally depicted as a woman of Japanese descent....
Here’s how the Ghost Rider costume has evolved during his live-action appearances. Prior to accepting the lead in Ghost Rider, avid comic book fan Nicolas Cage had tried more than once to appear in a comic book movie. The most famous failed attempt was when Tim Burton cast him as the title character in Superman Lives, which was eventually cancelled due to budget and script concerns. He was also attached to the Green Goblin role in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man before dropping out....
The next project from the developer of The Evil Within has been revealed. As part of the Bethesda press conference at E3 2019, GhostWire: Tokyo was unveiled, and it promises to be somewhat on the creepy side from studio Tango Gameworks. Initially splitting off from Capcom, Tango Gameworks was formed by Shinji Mikami. The creator of Resident Evil went on to create two rather well received horror titles in the form of The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2....
