The Long Walk Is a Haunting Exploration of Good Intentions Gone Very Wrong

11-03-2022 22:45

On paper, Mattie Do’s The Long Walk is a groundbreaking film: it’s the first film from Laos to screen theatrically in the U.S., and it’s made by the country’s first (and apparently only) woman filmmaker, who also happens to be the only director in Laos making genre films. But even if you didn’t know any of that, The Long Walk is truly a standout film — it’s eerie, poetic, and absolutely unique.Written by Christopher Larsen, The Long Walk introduces us to

11-03-2022 21:30

In an adorable new trailer for Moonshot, HBO Max’s new sci-fi rom-com, we see Lana Condor and Cole Sprouse fall in love on a spaceship. Sure, Sprouse is presented as the lead in the trailer, but we all know the truth here. This movie wouldn’t have even gotten past the pitch stage without Condor.
Following her absolutely stellar breakout role as Lana Jane Covey in the Netflix movie series that kicked off with To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Condor (who was also in the le

Russia’s Invasion Is About to Make the World’s Chip Shortage Way Worse

11-03-2022 21:10

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is putting even more pressure on an already-strained global computer chip supply.
The military incursion has forced Ukraine’s two leading neon suppliers to suspend operations, a major disruption with global economic consequences. Neon is critically important to semiconductor chip manufacturing, and nearly half of the world’s semiconductor-grade neon originates from these two suppliers, Ingas and Cryoin, Reuters notes.Reuters estimates the two firms

How Much Would You Pay To Watch CNN?

11-03-2022 21:05

Everyone’s got their TV habits — if you skim any of my social media pages, for instance, you know I’m a sucker for 90’s television. We’re living in an age of streaming where you can pay for precisely the content you want to watch.

This Year’s Flu Vaccine Was Basically Worthless

11-03-2022 20:55

This winter’s flu vaccine was a particularly bad match for the most common influenza strain in circulation, a new analysis from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention found. Thankfully, the flu season was much milder than usual for the second year in a row, as ongoing covid-19 precautions likely blunted the spread of flu as well.
The estimates come from the CDC’s long-running surveillance program of people with suspected flu-like symptoms who visit various outpatient sites th

The Adam Project Is an Excellent Sci-Fi Adventure With Surprising Poignancy

11-03-2022 19:45

With its blend of childlike wonder and sci-fi action, it’s fairly obvious that The Adam Project, Netflix’s new film from director Shawn Levy, draws inspiration from films of the 1980s. Films like E.T., Back to the Future, The Goonies, or Explorers. Beyond just that though, one thing that really makes The Adam Project feel like a 1980s movie, and part of why we like it so damn much, is its brevity.In the modern world of three-hour superhero films, fantasy epics with 12 different endin

A Garbage Can Vacuum Cleaner Is Exactly What My Crumb-Covered Kitchen Counters Need

11-03-2022 19:10

Any time two household appliances can be merged into one is a big win for those living in a small apartment, but while a garbage can isn’t exactly an appliance, upgrading one with a built-in vacuum cleaner is kind of a genius idea because it eliminates the extra step of emptying a standalone vac.It may come as no surprise to longtime readers that the trashcuum cleaner, as I will call it just that once, is another ‘innovation’ from Japan’s Thanko.

Moira MacTaggert Is Becoming One of the X-Men’s Most Horrifying Villains

11-03-2022 19:00

Moira MacTaggert’s fall from grace in the Krakoan Age of the X-Men has been as rapid as it has been brutal. In a matter of months since the Inferno event that saw Jonathan Hickman bid adieu to the X-line, Moira has gone from the long-lived saviour of the Mutant dream to a bitter, vengeful force that could undo it forever — and it’s fascinating to watch unfold.
