Along with his electrifying portrayal of a vulnerable and morally complex 007, comments such as these were a mainstay of Craig’s Bond run. A little-known character actor thrown into leading-man stardom for 2006’s Casino Royale, Craig has always had an ambivalent relationship with his most famous role. It wasn’t helped by the fact that he suffered numerous injuries throughout the process, including rupturing both calf muscles while shooting Skyfall. Craig was not shy in talking with the press about these issues, generally expressing his unhappiness with the experience....

They had reason to cheer loud, as the movie really does feature bizarre, unidentifiable organs being removed from the body of pain-wracked performance artist Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) in front of live audience—a clear nod to early films like The Brood, Videodrome, and The Fly that put Cronenberg on the map as a master of the body horror subgenre. Cronenberg’s career has taken him down a number of other avenues artistically, with many of his films evolving away from the visceral gut-punch of his early work, but he’s never fully left genre material behind....

Hence Disney has created a new distribution group within their business structure, with the company streamlining all production verticals underneath the umbrella of Media and Entertainment Distribution. This group will be responsible for the development and production of content for the company’s streaming services, which include Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, as well as the profits and losses for ad sales generated by that content. This centralized Media and Entertainment Distribution hub will be overseen by Kareem Daniel....

“Nothing’s as it should be, Yaz. Too much out of the ordinary tonight.” Between The Flux, the dog, the new Companion, the Sontarans, the Swarm, his sister, the Outpost, the Doctor’s hunt for information about the Division, and the TARDIS malfunctions, ‘The Halloween Apocalypse’ barely paused for breath. One sequence though, slowed things down and created a much-needed moment of hushed intrigue amid all the noise and rushing about. Outside Anfield Stadium on the trail of Karvanista, Yaz is busily telling the Doctor off for refusing to confide her secrets, when a woman runs up to the TARDIS....

The Daleks, along with Judge Dredd, are fictional fascists beloved by a wide audience. At their heart is a combination of terrifying concept – Nazis who always return (imagine) – with a triumph of design. The greatest Dalek stories tap into this uneasy alliance. A quick summary of the thinking behind this article: A. We thought people would enjoy it. The rankings are not based purely on how entertaining I find the stories, but also on how the Daleks are used and developed, the Doctor’s response to them and what that says (within both the larger context of the show’s history and the stories surrounding it)....

Coming into the sophomore season of a critically lauded show like Doom Patrol is no easy feat, yet newcomer Abigail Shapiro is currently winning rave reviews for her portrayal of Dorothy Spinner. The daughter of the crew’s leader, Niles Caulder a.k.a. The Chief, Dorothy is arguably the most powerful member of the strange superhero team as well as being an immortal stuck in the body of an 11-year-old girl. It’s an infinitely challenging role, which was exactly what drew the young actor to it....

Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 7 As its title suggests, Doom Patrol gets pretty dumb this week when the manor experiences an infestation of microscopic beings that feed off of bad ideas, but which reveals Miranda to be an effective primary. Meanwhile, Cliff rockets back to Earth, and vows endlessly to kill the Chief, who is seeking answers in the Yukon, and Rita decides to shadow the Cloverton beekeeper for her community theater role....

Despite the fact that E3 2021 is an all-virtual event, meaning less opportunities for sneaky leakers to snap pictures from the expo show floor, this year is no different. Here are the biggest leaks and confirmed rumors you need to know about going into E3 2021: Nintendo Switch Pro The long-rumored Nintendo Switch Pro has been the subject of speculation for most of the hybrid console’s existence. So, what is it?...

Elden Ring is slightly more generous than other Soulsborne games when it comes to teaching you about the basics (more on that in a bit), but the motto of this game is still “figure it out as you go.” While that style of game design is the biggest contributor to this title’s wonderful sense of adventure, it also leads to more than a few moments of missing out on seemingly basic concepts simply because the game allows you to miss them from time to time....

While those starting their Elden Ring adventure after the 1.03 update may be able to follow Jar-Bairn’s questline easily enough, anyone trying to complete the quest near the end of the game (or after they’ve made significant process elsewhere) may be confused by the ways this quest ties into other NPC questlines. For that matter, anyone who hasn’t been going out of their way to complete Elden Ring‘s questlines and connect the game’s lore dots will probably also struggle to complete some of this new NPC’s odd requests....

Ever since Elden Ring’s teaser trailer debuted in 2019, many fans have been working under the assumption that the Elden Ring is…well…a physical ring. It seemed to be the most logical explanation available at the time, and the idea of a magical ring as a McGuffin has certainly been featured in a few famous pieces of fantasy fiction. However, the latest Elden Ring trailer already has some fans theorizing that the Elden Ring isn’t a trinket at all....

It’s the summer of 1967, and we rejoin Endeavour Morse and his colleagues only a fortnight after the dramatic events of series three’s finale. The aftermath of that episode’s bank robbery casts a long shadow over Game. Joan Thursday, traumatised by her experience as a hostage, has abruptly departed Oxford for pastures new, leaving her parents bereft. For Morse, who’d realised his love for her too late, the suffering’s just as acute....

Debunking crusaders Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers), David Acosta (Mike Colter), and Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi) are back to breach the boundaries of belief and delusion in Evil season 2. The premiere season ended begging answers to questions which befuddle some of the most studied theologians. Of course, the biggest and most pressing question is whether Kristen took an ice axe to whack serial killer Orson LeRoux (Darren Pettie). The answer comes in the first episode, but you’re not going to get it here....

We’re not talking about the secrets that Marvel keeps from us, the public, and the press; we know that Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige is the master of the thrilling-yet-utterly-devoid-of-information non-answer, and holds weekly classes instructing his minions in that very same and very rare dark art (and we do truly appreciate the skill, even as we tear out our hair over it). No, apparently Marvel keeps secrets internally as well: as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman tells us, everyone working on various films and TV series inside the Marvel compound is on a need-to-know basis — and there’s very little that the top execs categorize as “need-to-know....

Now, it’s perfectly possible to play and enjoy Fall Guys without ever thinking about its lore or world-building. Indeed, the chaos of the average Fall Guys match often makes it difficult to focus on anything other than “not falling down a pit” for more than a few seconds. However, those who have been playing the game for the better part of the last two years have started to ask questions about what is actually happening in Fall Guys and who the Fall Guys themselves are....

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 9 If there’s one thing Fear the Walking Dead understands about existing in a zombie apocalypse, it’s that living is hard. Every week, our grizzled cast of characters must contend with the inevitable attrition within their ranks. As we learned last week with poor John Dorie, it’s not a matter of if you’ll die, but when you’ll die. Sometimes our hapless survivors see death coming, but more often than not it’s an ugly surprise, meted out by the living....

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 5 Sitting down to write this review of “Till Death,” I was surprised that the word count for just my notes was a whopping 1,400 words. While I tend to take very extensive notes for each episode, what sets “Till Death” apart is that much of my notes is devoted to ranting. Much of my frustration (as both reviewer and fan) stems from my disappointment with this season’s aimlessness....

Well, unless you’re EA Sports. For years, the video game publisher has used its popular football sim FIFA to predict World Cup winners. That’s nothing new for the studio, of course — they do the same every year with Madden and the Super Bowl. But what is really interesting is that FIFA has correctly predicted the last three World Cup winners: Spain at South Africa 2010, Germany at Brazil 2014, and France at Russia 2018....

As Ryan Gosling’s Armstrong views the surface of that orbiting rock—one that’s ever been on his distant horizon yet is now just outside the window of Apollo 11’s module—he is no mere astronaut on a mission; this is an Ahab who’s at last eye-to-eye with the whale, one so enormous in scope and import that it is only now that Chazelle switches formats from 35mm to 70mm IMAX. The effect is of such magnitude, especially when juxtaposed by the chilled silence of space, that it really is akin to walking on the moon since it takes one’s breath away....

Starting today, players can participate in Fortnite‘s Nindo 2022 event. Like last year’s Nindo event, Nindo 2022 encourages Fortnite players to complete various challenges to earn Naruto-themed rewards. Whereas the last version of this event heavily featured emoticons and gliders inspired by the manga/anime’s Team 7, though, the 2022 version of the event is pretty much all about rivals. By completing various Nindo challenges, Fortnite players can earn emoticons featuring the mugs of Itachi, Gaara, Hinata, and Orochimaru, as well as an Akatsuki-themed wrap and a glider patterned after the giant snake, Manda....
