Bettany revealed the story of Vision’s nixed tallywacker in an interview with Lights, Camera, Pod, recalling that Whedon was very keen for the Avengers to witness the birth of Vision in a much more natural state during his 2015 introduction into the MCU. “I know Joss Whedon apparently really, really wanted the rendition of him, when Vision first is born, before he was clothed, he was like ‘He’s gotta have a penis,’ And everyone — Kevin [Feige], Louis [D’Esposito], I mean everybody was like, ‘I don’t know, Joss…I mean…I’m not sure,’” Bettany explained, adding Whedon argued that “He has to have a penis....

Which is perhaps why that golden hue looks all the more sickly in Damien Chazelle’s seedy bacchanal of a movie: this Christmas’ Babylon. Named after the biggest film set ever assembled for a notorious box office flop, D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance, the new film’s title also doubles as a nod to the Biblical scale on which Chazelle is mounting his fourth feature (albeit without the accompanying moral judgment or, arguably, sense of divine punishment for the damned)....

The early access only features Act 1 of the game’s full narrative, but this is still a very generous taste of Larian’s take on the Forgotten Realms, with over 20 hours of content to experience, according to the studio. In general, I think most longtime Baldur’s Gate fans as well as newcomers will be really impressed with the modern flourishes and new story Larian has put in place. This shouldn’t be too surprising, though....

“The real-world yet fictitious setting pitches a ‘what if’ scenario of societies crumbling in the face of violent climate changes and diminishing resources,” reads a description of Battlefield 2042‘s premise posted on the PlayStation Blog. “Stateless soldiers (‘No-Pat Specialists’) now fight on behalf of the remaining superpowers. The setup is close enough to today to be recognizable, but far enough in the future to include advanced arsenals and destructive weather patterns....

Updated for October 2020 What ever would we do without horror? So much of our daily life is built around logic and known, verifiable facts, and for some, the rest of the time must be supplemented with comforting reassurances that everything is going to be alright. Well if the last year has taught us anything… that’s not the case. Perhaps this is why horror hounds know the best way to face abstract fears is to confront them head on… and preferably with a screen in the way....

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm. To say the corporation that George Lucas founded as a way to realize his artistic vision forever altered popular culture is akin to understating the heat of the sun. Indeed, it is incomprehensible to think of a world without Lucasfilm and the wonders it has given us over the course of the past half century. What initially began as a way for Lucas to pursue his creativity outside of the auspices of the Hollywood machine is a fascinating story in and of itself – one whose irony is impossible to overlook given how the independent filmmaking ideologies held by the company eventually gave way to the biggest film franchise in history....

With the entire show completed, and every random item accounted for, we decided it was time to decode some of the most important and memorable symbols in the show. Tell us if we missed your favorite one in the comment section. Let’s begin! Zafiro Añejo Bottle Stopper There are many momentous occasions in the relationship of Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler, but perhaps one of the most fond memories for both characters is when they went on a scamming binge at the beginning of the second season premiere....

But here’s the thing: Blade Runner isn’t necessarily a great film. Visually and aesthetically, yes; the look and texture that director Ridley Scott and his team of craftspeople executed was profoundly unique and darkly beautiful. The film also does have a solid thematic underpinning in its exploration of what it means to be human. But the movie is slow-paced, the plot often incoherent, the acting all over the map and the narrative somewhat scattershot — which is perhaps one reason why Scott himself tinkered with it for years after its release until finally settling on a final cut he preferred....

Rest assured, Call of Duty fans, you’re getting your yearly helping of the blockbuster first-person shooter series. But the franchise is leaving behind Cold War espionage and World War II heroism for a return to its gritty take on the present day. With developer Infinity Ward back at the helm for the 2022 installment, it should come as no surprise that we’re getting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to the reboot that arguably put the franchise back on the right track in 2019....

Call of Duty players are all-too-familiar wiht the power of tactical nukes. As the name implies, that item allows players to essentially blow up the map and kill any enemies caught in the weapon’s considerable blast radius. Previously, that weapon was limited to Call of Duty‘s traditional multiplayer modes, which allow players to respawn after being nuked. However, it turns out that Warzone 2 features its own version of that deadly item....

Ben lives with his six kids in the middle of the wilds, constantly putting even the youngest of them through rigorous training to build their physical prowess, as well as building their minds by having them read books way beyond their years. They have no television, phones or other electronics to allow them to communicate with the outside world. Instead of Christmas, they celebrate “Noam Chomsky Day,” commemorating the birth of the modern philosopher when Ben gives his kids useful gifts like knives and other weapons they can use for hunting....

Clarice Episode 6 Clarice, episode 6, “How Does It Feel to Be So Beautiful,” opens in the aftermath of Clarice’s (Rebecca Breeds) nearly-lethal encounter with the recently deceased Marilyn Felker, and it brings her back to square one. The ViCAP agent is put on administrative leave, ordered to return to therapy, and given a last supper by the Attorney General, Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson). But it begins with a regressive hypnosis session that opens up a world of moth-eaten fantasia....

Since the movie monster’s big screen debut, most of the sequels have featured English actor Doug Bradley in the role of Pinhead, and all of the Hellraiser films up to this point have portrayed Pinhead as a male character. That all changes with Hulu’s upcoming Hellraiser reboot from director David Bruckner. For the first time, Pinhead will be presented as a woman and portrayed by Sense8 actress Jaime Clayton. You can see the first look of Clayton as Pinhead below....

Here we are again, then. Doesn’t seem like five minutes since Easter, does it? I swear I’ve still got half a chocolate rabbit in the fridge… But time trundles on, and we’re here to bid goodbye to Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor after what feels like an oddly-fleeting tenure in the TARDIS. In terms of episode count, Whittaker’s run hasn’t been that much shorter than, say, Peter Capaldi’s. But then, both Capaldi and Matt Smith’s Doctors went through a number of evolutions in their time, with marked shifts in their personalities as companions came and went....

Moffat, who invented the Weeping Angels, has every right to be proud of his creation. Few would dispute that the Weeping Angels are NuWho’s break-out monster. In a 2020 poll of scariest Who monsters of all time, the angels ran away with the vote. Modern viewers might not retreat behind the sofa anymore when the Daleks roll in, but “Blink” had people giving cemetery statues a nervous second look. There’s a delicious fright to the idea that an innocent stone statue might begin to move the moment you look away....

LJ and Peter are back together and facing down their senior year and with it, the prospect of life beyond high school. Opening with LJ’s family trip to her mother’s native Korea, the specter of separation looms large over the usual highlights like prom and the senior trip – but so does Lara Jean’s self-discovery. Peter has a Stanford acceptance in hand, thanks to a Lacrosse scholarship, and plans for LJ to follow him there, once she receives an acceptance....

She’s the only League member left in an uncertain place. During a triumphant montage in Zack Snyder’s Justice League epilogue—a sequence which likely would’ve closed out the film before 2020’s reshoots added extra scenes—nearly all the heroes appear at peace. Superman finally gets the iconic shirt-rip; Batman stands on the Bat-tank from The Dark Knight Returns, looking into the night; and Cyborg grieves his father. But Wonder Woman? Gal Gadot’s beloved superhero is in an ambiguous place in her signoff....

Picking up after the events of Titans, Doom Patrol will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same. Following the same ethos from the original comics, the Doom Patrol will take on a mission that’s just too weird for the Justice League....

Dracula Episode 2 Oh, those wily rascals. At the Dracula launch, writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat were asked if they’d considered making this a modern take on Bram Stoker’s story to match their updated Sherlock and Moffat’s present-day version of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Nah, they said. Nope, nuh-uh. It was always going to be a period piece. “We really wanted it to be the original with Romania and the mountains and the castle,” producer Sue Vertue told the crowd....

DuckTales will return on February 22, 2021 and will air one new episode a week until March 15, 2021. On that date we’ll be getting a 90-minute series finale! That’s less than a month of new DuckTales episodes but getting a movie length finale? If the show is going to be leaving our lives, at least it’ll be leaving in style. First up, let’s take a look at the episodes leaving to the finale....
