Born in England in 1887, William Henry Pratt moved to Canada in his early 20s and began acting in low-budget theater. Given the kind of roles he usually ended up playing, he adopted the name Boris Karloff, correctly thinking it had a little more zing to it than “William Henry Pratt.” Ten years later he moved to LA and worked as a truck driver while picking up small movie roles as he could....
The world of PC building and PC components is fueled by innovation. New technology constantly replaces what came before. But when it comes to PC cooling systems, there’s still some debate over whether liquid cooling or air cooling is better for your system. On the surface, liquid cooling is superior. Liquid cooling can tame even the hardest working PC components, such as your CPU or GPU, thanks to direct cooling methods that are especially appealing to anyone who wants to dive into the wonderful world of overclocking....
It’s going to be a little while before we really figure out which of Warzone‘s buffed, nerfed, and new guns are truly the best, but as is typically the case, it didn’t take long for a select few weapons to separate themselves from the pack. So if you don’t have time to wait and just want to start dominating Warzone so cleanly that people will start accusing you of hacking, here are the best weapons and loadouts for the Season 4 Reloaded meta:...
It seems that some players discovered that it was actually possible to play on the new Warzone map by using the mode’s private match function. While developer Raven shut down that workaround fairly quickly, they weren’t able to get to it before some prominent Call of Duty YouTubers were able to upload extensive footage of themselves exploring the new map. Oops. Based on the footage we’ve seen so far, it seems that the new Warzone map is actually a 1980s themed reskin of the old Verdansk map....
Even after half of all living things are snapped out of and back into existence, the Marvel Cinematic Universe can’t seem to escape the ramifications of Captain America: Civil War and the Sokovia Accords. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law may have shown us that the Accords have been repealed in a post-blip world, but that doesn’t mean that we’re through seeing the effects of them on the geopolitical sphere of the MCU....
“Anybody that produces a film runs into problems when they come to distribution,” said director Herk Harvey told Timothy De Paepe in 1983, somewhat understating the reality of the trials he endured while making his 1962 directorial debut, Carnival Of Souls. Not just distribution, but budget, filming permissions and location difficulties all contributed to his film’s unconventional birth. Perhaps the strangest thing about it, though, is that despite a legendarily problematic production, Harvey succeeded in crafting a horror film with such enduring and haunting power, it inspired the likes of George A....
Counterpart Season 1 Episode 3 The conspiracy that is no doubt at the core of Counterpart’s opening season really starts to take shape in “The Lost Art of Diplomacy,” and the differences between the two worlds come into sharper focus, even if the impetus of those changes is still unknown. Baldwin and Howard are able to explore some of the larger themes of human nature in their interactions, and characters like Emily Prime and Quayle get fleshed out a bit more to the show’s benefit....
Cyberware upgrades are a key part of the character-building experience in Cyberpunk 2077, but many players may end up overlooking it due to both the confusing nature of the system itself and the lingering worry that you can somehow choose the “wrong” Cyberware upgrade. While it’s not really possible to choose a strictly wrong upgrade, you can take a lot of the guesswork out of Cyberpunk 2077‘s Cyberware system by checking out our guide on Cyberware basics and a quick look at the best Cyberware pieces to install....
So, it’s time to take a look at all of the DCEU superhero movies that will be released over the next few years. And trust us, there are a ton of them on the way, and we expect more details will be announced as we go forward. We have all the release dates for every one of ’em right here, as well as official details, the most interesting rumors, and suggestions for further reading where appropriate....
The Flash of Earth-11 Lore’s Flash story plays on one of the more fun traits of the hero: their inability to be on time. As a non-binary creator with ADHD, Lore says creating a story about the non-binary Flash of Earth-11, Jess Chambers being late was incredibly relatable. “I always seem to be running late, but I’m running at like 1000 miles per hour so why am I late to this thing?...
To be sure, there is some definite Steve Buscemi with a skateboard energy to the way Platt hunches his shoulders and quivers his lip, attempting to mimic high school awkwardness and appearing just awkward. However, you don’t need to be John Travolta or Olivia Newton-John to lull an audience into a suspension of disbelief. No, the issue with Dear Evan Hansen is a tone deaf and wall-to-wall cringe of a plot that somehow got a pass on stage....
Take even a quick glance at the news, with revelations that the IRS has been targeting certain groups on a regular basis, that the NSA has been targeting, well, the rest of us, and with the man who dropped a dime on government wrongdoing now being hunted like a dog around the globe, you might get the idea that if Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, or any of the other founding fathers were to return today they might think our Fourth of July celebrations were nothing more than a cruel, ironic hoax....
Be honest: who saw Get Out coming? Its trailer promised, on the surface, the ingredients of a Jason Blum-backed horror, one set to explore racial tension. It was interesting, sure, and Blumhouse has fuelled impressive talent and films in the past (The Gift and Whiplash instantly spring to mind). But still: Get Out not only became a monster hit, it also quickly became something of a sensation. And deservedly so....
We’ve all got a scary sleepover story, so the Den of Geek staff has come together to share theirs. Why not share your own in the comments? The Ring – Alec Bojalad When I was around 13 years old, I attended a sleepover birthday party for my friend Elliott. We spent the day doing typical 13-year-old boy things: running around, hitting each other, farting, the whole nine yards. When night time rolled around (and when the only girls at the party naturally had to leave) somebody had the bright idea to watch a horror movie....
Dungeon crawlers allow gamers to delve into digital catacombs and slaughter enemies for a neverending shower of loot. While players can go at it alone in those games, most dungeon crawlers encourage you to team up with friends to increase the challenge (and loot quality). The same is true of Diablo Immortal. Blizzard’s Diablo Immortal is the latest entry in the franchise that introduced a generation of gamers to loot-based dungeon crawlers....
Contextually, in J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary lore, the island of Valinor (Tolkien’s version of Avalon), is where the Valar (archangels of the mythos,) settled down after the music of deity Eru Ilúvatar broke an incalculable period of silence and shapelessness in existence to construct the universe. Tellingly, the mere presence of the trees—created by the Valar to light to planet of Arda—dates the era of the image, which can be deduced as taking place during the planet’s primordial period, since said trees would not be long for the burgeoning world....
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the latest MCU entry and a lot of people have been checking it out, starting its first weekend off with $450 million internationally. While much of it feels inspired from Sam Raimi’s other work, it is a comic book movie featuring a lot of different elements. When you leave the theater, you or one of your friends might be interested in checking out the comics that inspired this movie....
In the new Netflix sci-fi action thriller Outside the Wire, young hotshot drone pilot Thomas Harp (Damson Idris) is busted down to combat duty in the militarized zone after disobeying a direct order. The year is 2036, and the U.S. military is on a peacekeeping mission in Eastern Europe where a warlord named Viktor Koval (Pilou Asbaek) is trying to get his hands on a stockpile of Russian nuclear weapons so that he can destabilize the world by aiming them at major international cities....
Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 5 Well, that escalated quickly. After what seems like a fairly low-key episode where Doom Patrol lulls viewers into a false sense of security, all hell breaks out, and there’s no going back now. A stark shift from the party atmosphere of last week, “Finger Patrol” delivers betrayal, murder, and a severed finger. Oh, and a ‘70s-inspired opening credits for a show starring our robot cops....
It’s right there in the first few minutes of the movie. As the title Dune materializes onscreen, the words “Part One” appear directly below it. But that’s not really a surprise or a spoiler for those who’ve been paying attention. Director Denis Villeneuve has said all along that his epic new adaptation of author Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi landmark would be split into two films due to the sheer scope and density of Herbert’s narrative....
