So I get Twilight. Based on the series written by Mormon Stephenie Meyer, who at the time proudly confessed to never having seen a horror film, the first of the films came out in 2008 to wild commercial success, almost instantly generating a rabid fanbase of largely (but definitely not only) teenage girls. Nicknamed ‘Twihards’ these fans were obsessed not only with the films and books but also with the stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who at the time were a couple in real life....

Imagine this; you shifted your website to a different URL. In this scenario, how will you tell your visitors that you’ve already moved? Some of your frequent visitors might have seen an update or prior intimidation about it. But a majority of them won’t know it at all. This is where redirects, especially a 301 redirect, come in handy! Whenever a visitor enters the old URL, they’ll automatically be forwarded to the changed one....

The similarity in the names of Java and JavaScript will confuse most people. Do they really similar in terms of applications, structure, features, etc…..? Or is it just confusion because of their names? Let’s find out. Java Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language. And it’s a general-purpose programming language. We can run compiled Java code in any system. It’s platform-independent. It follows the principle Write Once, Run Anywhere....

Horror is already a reliable genre both at the box office (under normal circumstances) and in the digital space, so it’s no surprise that even in these compromised times, scary movies are coming at us hard and fast in October. Below is a round-up of fresh horror releases arriving either at your local multiplex (and we urge you to keep the risks of going to the theater in mind) or right in your living room....

The good news is that V Rising’s weapon system is designed to be fairly accommodating. Weapons are more often an extension of your character’s stats, which means that your decision to use one of the game’s seven weapon types over the others will often come down to availability, specific situations, and personal preferences. Still, every weapon does offer unique skills, stats, and advantages/disadvantages that ultimately make some a bit more effective than others....

WandaVision episode 5 threw viewers, Vision, and even Wanda herself for a loop, when her long-dead twin brother Pietro Maximoff dropped into their now-80s-set Westview pad for a touching reunion, opening up a can of Marvel Cinematic Universe worms that have now spilled just about everywhere. Pietro, as played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the MCU, originally died in a hail of bullets protecting Hawkeye and an endangered child at the climax of Avengers: Age of Ultron – Marvel’s 2015 blockbuster team-up movie where we first properly met Wanda – and Kevin Feige and director Joss Whedon both promised Pietro’s death was a permanent one that they planned to honor going forward....

Actually, there were quite a few years after Rampage‘s release when it remained one of the best ways to live out your giant monster fantasies. Later games would more fully realize the “destroy everything” philosophy that Rampage was built on, but it took a long time for another game to come close to matching (must less surpassing) Rampage‘s simple and satisfying gameplay. For years, it was the best way to let gamers play as Godzilla, King Kong, and even The Wolfman (despite the fact the games didn’t use those names)....

For most of his career, Steven Spielberg has spoken of his desire to make a musical. It turned out to be well worth the wait. Despite harboring serious reservations about a remake of one of the finest movie musicals ever made—Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’ West Side Story movie from 1961—I was entirely won over by Spielberg’s sparkling and passionate reimagining of the original 1957 Broadway show. As if by magic, it returned to the Oscar winning director some of the irresistible exuberance of youth....

Westworld Season 2 Episode 7 You never really know how much you can miss someone until they’re gone. Nor do you realize how crucial Anthony Hopkins’ pseudo-philosophical and congenial malevolence is to the Westworld algorithm until he comes back. And it really did feel like the HBO sci-fi saga regained something this week that we all intuitively felt was lost, right? Such is the case when we spend much of tonight inside of the Cradle with Robert Ford, or at least some facsimile of the man’s genius, waxing poetic to Bernard....

It was quite a moment, to say the least. From mini SIMs to now commonly-used nano SIMs, we have witnessed the evolution of SIM cards like our mobile phones. With everything shifting digital, SIM makers are not in the back seat. The launch of an eSIM, or an embedded SIM, has started a new era of SIM cards in the market. This shift in technology from physical to almost invisible SIM cards is not new and has been in the industry for quite some time but has now gained popularity thanks to Google Pixel, a handful of iPhone models, and the Galaxy flagship series....

Before breaking down what this might mean, it’s important to note that the seven members of BTS have always had their own, individual outlets for communicating with ARMY (most notably in their VLive vlogs) and expressing themselves artistically (most notably in their respective contributions to the writing and production of group songs, and in the release of solo music and performances). The mainstream American perspective of K-pop is usually framed within a stereotype of corporate-controlled, “cookie-cutter” idols—this includes a band like BTS, which is an outlier within the K-pop industry in many ways....

In the last few hours, Twitter has turned into a particularly fun pitch meeting for fans who want to see the Dark Knight in all kinds of bonkers big-screen situations based on other beloved franchises. If you scroll through the hashtag #BatmanAMovie right now, you’ll find an interesting mix of Bat-puns as well as a few choice illustrations that give you a better idea of what these fake flicks would look like....

But they also addressed a comparison that had been made in conjunction with the renewal news. Justin Roiland went on to say “We’re also not trying to do what The Simpsons is doing and we’re doing less episodes than The Simpsons.” Yet, when looking to shows that have enjoyed incredible longevity, the 20th Century Studios series is definitely one to learn lessons from. Rick and Morty is already seemingly following some of the formula of The Simpsons despite what its creators are saying, but how else can the Adult Swim show look to its Disney/Fox competitors in ensuring it remains relevant for the foreseeable future?...

Now that Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit is racking up awards (with a presumable Emmy sweep still to come) it’s time for the story to enter into yet another medium. Deadline reported today that entertainment company Level Forward has acquired the theatrical stage rights to the novel. That’s right: The Queen’s Gambit is about to be a play…and a musical no less. “It is a privilege for Level Forward to lead the charge of bringing The Queen’s Gambit to the stage through the beloved and enduring craft of musical theater,” Level Forward CEO Adrienne Becker and Producer Julia Dunetz said in a statement....

So while speculation rages about who will take on the mantle of the 14th Doctor, it’s Chris Chibnall‘s replacement as showrunner who will ultimately carry the weight of the universe on their back. Realistically, a candidate needs not just writing but also producing experience (Chibnall had co- and executive producer credits on Torchwood, Camelot, Law & Order:UK, Broadchurch and more before landing Doctor Who). Because the UK TV industry has significant work to do on widening access for writers and producers of colour, that requirement frustratingly narrows the field for such jobs at present....

A modder named Lance McDonald has been combing through leaked files related to the upcoming Demon’s Soul remake and recently revealed that it appears the upcoming remake will not restore Demon’s Souls infamous Sixth Archstone or add any new content related to it. In fact, it sounds like the Demon’s Souls remake’s file structure is fairly similar to the original game. That could mean that many of the enemy and item placements (as well as certain level design aspects) will be identical to what we saw in the original....

The first episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, called, aptly enough ‘Strange New Worlds’, was about as generic a Star Trek plot as you could imagine – and that proved to be a massive plus. The USS Enterprise arrived at a planet that was technologically not far off present-day Earth, inhabited by people that looked like humans with a new kind of bumpy forehead. But not everything was well on this planet, in fact they were on the verge of a war fought with devastating weapons of mass destruction, and so it fell to Captain Pike and his crew to bring these aliens to the negotiating table (while bending “General Order One” as far as it can go without snapping)....

As reported by Digital Spy, the director spoke about the movie’s length, explaining that it was originally 4 hours and that no one who’s seen it has any complaints. “A movie is very different when you’re writing the script and you’re building a story compared to what the final product is. At the beginning, when you’re writing and building the beats of the story, everything that you put in there seems very essential to the story....

When you belong to a cultural superpower, you get used to things being all about you. Wrapped in the soft cotton wool of cultural dominance, you so rarely feel the prick of non-recognition. To grow up the same nationality, race, and on the same patch of land as the planet’s most celebrated writers, artists and musicians is to feel that their stuff is yours too. Unlike other groups, there’s no fight for representation on your hands....
