| J.J. Abrams shows off Star Wars clip inside Fortnite, and now lightsabers are in the game Posted: 14 Dec 2019 11:41 AM PST  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is so inescapable that it's even started invading video games. This afternoon, director J.J. Abrams stopped by a unique location to show off a new clip from the movie: Risky Reels, the drive-in theater on Fortnite's virtual island. It was a unique promotional event for the film, which naturally ended with a lightsaber duel. The event opened with Abrams arriving on the Millennium Falcon, amidst a battle with some TIE fighters and a few Star Destroyers. There was even an in-game avatar that looked remarkably like the director. After a bit of a preamble with host Geoff Keighley — best known as the host and creator of The Game Awards — a massive floating display appeared. The brief, exclusive clip of Rise of... |
| No matter how Watchmen ends, it’s already done more than enough Posted: 14 Dec 2019 07:07 AM PST  It was the Rorschach mask in the glove box that sold me. Watchmen, HBO's sequel / reinvention of the comic of the same name by Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore, came out the gate swinging with a prologue set during the 1921 Tulsa race riot. But it was the next scene that got me fully on board, one that showed that Rorschach, the original comic's most popular character, was a hero to white supremacists. It felt transgressive but also right — and then I flipped back to the comic and you know what? It was right. The TV Watchmen sold me on its relevance by resurfacing something incredibly obvious about its source material that years of fan culture had scrubbed away, mostly because the character looked cool. |
| 8 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 14 Dec 2019 07:00 AM PST  Image: Warner Bros. I recently saw Motherless Brooklyn, Edward Norton's adaptation of the two-decade-old Jonathan Lethem novel about a private investigator with Tourette syndrome. I've never read the book, but from what I gather, the movie is an almost complete departure from the text outside of its core conceit. Departing from the book isn't necessarily a bad thing. Norton's instinct to play up the noir elements makes for a fun, slapstick twist on the genre at points, and 1950s New York is a lot of fun to explore. But the movie also feels a little hollowed out. Norton basically jams a tour through The Power Broker (the famously thorough 1975 biography of Robert Moses, which has nothing to do with Motherless Brooklyn) into the core of his adaptation,... |
| The Snapchat cat filter shows how little we know about cat cognition Posted: 14 Dec 2019 06:00 AM PST  Apologies to Taylor Swift and Andrew Lloyd Webber, but the most interesting cat content online right now is a Snapchat filter that lets humans try on a feline face. The resulting clips are adorable, confounding, and a great example of just how little we know about cat cognition.
In a video compilation making the rounds online, cats look at a phone screen that shows their owners with a cat face filter. The cats whip their heads around to look up at the human, and then back to the screen. "It appears the cat recognizes that their owner's face should be on the phone, but it is not," Kristyn Vitale, who studies cat... |
