| China’s blockbuster The Wandering Earth is rich, gorgeous, and goofy Posted: 09 Feb 2019 12:50 PM PST  We're living through a fascinating era of rapid change for the blockbuster movie model. America producers, eager to get their $200 million movies into the lucrative Chinese market, are increasingly looking for Chinese production partners, shooting in Chinese locations, and adding China-friendly characters and plotlines to American movies, even including extra scenes just for the Chinese cuts of films. But simultaneously, China and other countries are moving toward the blockbuster model themselves, creating homegrown films that don't need to involve American partners at all. And just as American films attempt to find paydays in foreign markets, foreign blockbusters are coming to America. The Wandering Earth, described as China's first... |
| Marvel launched a delightful, retro website to promote Captain Marvel Posted: 09 Feb 2019 11:02 AM PST  Marvel's next big superhero movie is Captain Marvel, and unlike most of the franchise's films, this one's set in the 1990s. Accordingly, Marvel has launched a website that fits the timeframe, a throwback to web design of the era, complete with awkward animations, fonts, and colors. The result is absolutely delightful. The website taps into the nostalgia for the 1990s that we've seen in the film's trailers, and features a ton of components that were mainstays of the web almost a quarter of a century ago: random animations, zany photo editing, HTML frames, brightly-colored fonts, and of course, a guestbook and hit counter. There's even a Skrull you can punch when it pops up. All that's missing is a front page that you have to click... |
| New pictures from NASA’s New Horizons show a pancaked peanut Posted: 09 Feb 2019 10:00 AM PST  At first glance, the mysterious space rock that NASA's New Horizons zoomed by on New Year's day looked like a lumpy snowman, or maybe a misshapen space peanut. Now, a new set of photos reveal that the space rock is flatter than initially thought — more pancake, really, than peanut. The space rock, called 2014 MU69, is located 4.1 billion miles away from Earth in the Kuiper Belt, a massive stretch of frigid objects that orbit the Sun at the edges of the Solar System. During its flyby of the 21-mile-wide rock, New Horizons snapped photos with its two cameras and collected 50 gigabits of data with its onboard instruments. |
| 11 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 09 Feb 2019 09:00 AM PST  One of the reasons I maybe wasn't super eager to see Eighth Grade when it came out last year was just how sharp the film appeared to be at recreating the immense awkwardness of middle school. And now having actually watched it, I can confirm that the movie is just as good at evoking that awkwardness as its trailers made it appear. Eighth Grade does an excellent job at everything it's doing, but it also has one sequence, which I won't detail here specifically, that is just so painful to watch (like, legitimately, I might just hit fast forward kind of painful) that I have to wonder if there are other ways a director could have approached the scene that kept the same takeaway for its main character, but spared audiences from watching... |
| Westworld’s third season likely won’t air until 2020 Posted: 09 Feb 2019 08:08 AM PST  Westworld ended its second season last June, leaving viewers with plenty of questions about what would come next when the show returns for its third season. Those fans are going to have to wait a bit: the HBO series likely won't return until next year. That timeline makes sense: show debuted in October 2016, while its second season began in April 2018. Speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour yesterday, HBO's President of Programming Casey Bloys told TheWrap that production on the show's third season will begin in March, but wouldn't confirm that the series would air later this year. TheWrap notes that it's "safe to expect" that the series won't arrive until next year at the earliest, citing the extensive production and... |

| One of China’s best sci-fi authors is getting an English-language collection Posted: 09 Feb 2019 07:01 AM PST  In recent years, Chinese science fiction has grown in popularity among English-speaking audiences, urged on by blockbuster books like Cixin Liu's The Three-Body Problem. Liu isn't the only such writer whose works are available in English — this year will see several new translations from Chinese science fiction authors hitting bookstores. One of the best science fiction authors working in China now is joining them — Xia Jia (pen name of Wang Yao), who is getting a translated collection of her short fiction by way of a Kickstarter from Clarkesworld Magazine. Clarkesworld has been steadily translating and publishing short fiction from the country over the last couple of years, as part of a partnership with StoryCom, a Chinese startup that... |
| Texas bill would ban internet throttling in disaster areas Posted: 09 Feb 2019 06:00 AM PST  Earlier this week, a member of the Texas state legislature introduced a bill that would make it a crime for a telecommunications company, like Verizon or AT&T, to throttle internet service in declared disaster areas, according to KUT News. This Texas bill, HB 1426, doesn't go any further to codify net neutrality rules, only prohibiting carriers from restricting internet access in disaster areas. It does not ban behaviors like throttling in any other scenarios. Over 100 other bills regarding net neutrality have been introduced at the state level following the Federal Communications Commission's move to roll back the protections in 2017. Republican commissioners, like Chairman Ajit Pai, have argued that even without Title II or "utility"... |
