There’s no denying the fact that Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is one of the biggest games of 2024. Right on arrival, the game managed to set a new record for the franchise and developer Saber Interactive.

While Space Marine 2‘s gameplay is quite addictive, the opinions over its difficulty levels have been heated. A few months ago, few in the community bashed Saber for crafting an absolute nightmare to complete. Now that the developers have toned down the difficulty level, gamers believe Saber has made a bad call.

Space Marine 2 Community Can’t Understand What it Wants

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2, as well as the entire Warhammer 40k franchise, is known for its spectacular battles. In the Space Marine sequel, the combat itself is pretty brutal, with blood everywhere. Fights are the essence of this production.

Billie Joe Armstrong knows his enemy — and it’s Las Vegas. Earlier this month, while performing in San Francisco, the Green Day frontman aired out his frustration with MLB team owner John Fisher, who made the call to move the Oakland A’s to Las Vegas. His rant included, among other things, the straightforward declaration: “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst shithole in America.”

Las Vegas can’t claim to be the biggest Green Day fan either, or at least not if two local radio stations there have anything to do with it.

Die German Stunt Association hat jetzt eine Stellungnahme zu dem vom Bundeskabinett vor gut einer Woche beschlossenen Ffg-Entwurf veröffentlicht.

Pamela Gräbe, Geschäftsführerin der German Stunt Association

In einer Stellungnahme zu dem vor gut einer Woche vom Bundeskabinett beschlossenen Ffg-Entwurf hat die German Stunt Association einige Kritikpunkte aufgelistet, betont aber dass man „ausdrücklich die Reform der Filmförderung, die zentrale Vergabe von Fördergeldern durch die Filmförderungsanstalt und das gesetzte Ziel, die Leistungsfähigkeit der deutschen Filmwirtschaft zu erhalten“ begrüße.

Größter Kritikpunkt der Gsa sowohl am beschlossenen Ffg-Entwurf als auch am Richtlinienentwurf für die jurybasierte Filmförderung des Bundes, der sich gerade in der Branchenanhörung befindet, ist jedoch nach deren Angaben, dass beide keine territorialen Vorgaben für die Produktion und zur Teamzusammensetzung enthalten.

„Wenn man das Ziel setzt, ‚die gesamtwirtschaftlichen Belange der Film- und Kinowirtschaft in Deutschland zu unterstützen‘, muss auch eingeschlossen sein, den Produktionsstandort Deutschland mit seinen langjährig ansässigen Unternehmen und Filmschaffende zu stärken,...

IMAX has reminded us that 40 years ago, an IMAX camera was used to shoot in outer space, by Sally Ride, who was the first American woman astronaut. Shooting with IMAX cameras is complicated. However, shooting with IMAX cameras in space is even more.

This week marks 40 years since Sally Ride made her mark on history as the first American woman in space. Born on May 26, 1951, in Los Angeles, California, Ride received a Bachelor’s in Physics and English in 1973 from Stanford University and, later, a Master’s in Physics in 1975 and a Doctorate in Physics in 1978, also from Stanford. NASA selected Dr. Ride as an astronaut candidate in January 1978. She completed her training in August 1979 and began her astronaut career as a mission specialist on Sts-7, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on June 18, 1983. The...

Kuala Lumpur, May 12 (Ians) The Badminton World Federation (Bwf) on Friday issued a temporary ban on a new ‘spin-serve’ that has had the attention of the world’s top badminton players recently.

The new spin serve was first implemented in tournaments at the Polish Open 2023 in March by Danish doubles player Marcus Rindshoj in the second round of the tournament. Since then, the innovative trick created a rage in international badminton with players across the globe trying their hand to learn this new technique.

“Bwf Council has approved a proposal for an ‘experimental variation’ to the Laws of Badminton to forbid the use of the new ‘spin serve’ effective immediately until 29 May 2023,” the statement from badminton’s global governing body read.

“The amendment to 9.1.5 of Section 4.1 of the Bwf Laws of Badminton now states that the server shall release the shuttle without adding spin, and the server’s racket...

Survivor has crowned 41 castaways as the Sole Survivor (with Sandra Diaz-Twine and Tony Vlachos as the show’s only two-time winners) since 2000. While sometimes the jury gets it right and awards the most deserving person with the $1 million, other times fans don’t agree with the winner. And now and then (certainly in Nick Wilson’s case), personal ideologies and opinions influence Survivor fans’ thoughts on a Sole Survivor.

Survivor fans first met Nick Wilson when he joined the David tribe in Survivor: David vs. Goliath, aka season 37. And they likely would have waved goodbye to him during the premiere had the producers not medically evacuated Pat Cusak following a boating accident. The Davids lost their Immunity Challenge, and some castaways wanted to send Nick home due to his laziness around camp. But he was...

One of the benefits of HBO Max's "Harley Quinn" being a comedy is that it can explore familiar characters in unexpected, even biting ways. Bruce Wayne may spend his nights as the heroic Batman, but he's also just as out of touch as any other billionaire ("People pay for housing?"). The Joker is a maniacal super-villain, but after a stint with amnesia, he's also developed a domestic life as a suburban dad ("Lots of dads are serial killers!"). Commissioner Gordon is a nervous wreck and totally dependent on Batman, Nightwing has an inferiority complex thanks to Bruce's distant parenting, and being in the Legion of Doom is like a 9-to-5 job for villains, complete with coffee chats in the break room.

However, these details aren't just random; what makes them funny is how they're authentically rooted in the characters' personalities. In an interview with /Film's Ben Pearson, "Harley Quinn" co-creators...

Following the May 4 episode of “Survivor 42,” only seven castaways still have a shot of joining the show’s iconic winners list. Among them is Omar Zaheer, who’s angling to become the first castaway of Muslim faith ever to win “Survivor” after two decades and 41 seasons. As of this writing, the 31-year-old Ontario exotic animal veterinarian is tied for the #1 spot (with Maryanne Oketch) in Gold Derby’s “Survivor 42” predictions, which are determined by our readers.

Omar’s religion has been mentioned a few times on the CBS reality TV show, including in the second episode when he told his Taku tribe mates that he’d be happy to answer any questions they might have. After the merge, Mike Turner watched Omar as he prayed and then started a discussion in order to better educate himself. “We all ain’t that different,” Mike came to realize (watch below). For his part,...

David Dastmalchian is the face of interesting characters. Although it has been nearly 14 years since he debuted as one of Joker’s gang members in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, the performance remains chilling. Since then, he has continued making a mark as a Wombat in Ant-Man, a Mentat in Dune, and a Polka-Dot Man in The Suicide Squad, amongst other roles. Dastmalchian is likewise the face behind an interesting character: Late-night horror hostess and supernatural warrior Jerri Bartman, who returns for another adventure in the new Dark Horse comic, Count Crowley: Amateur Monster Hunter.

Created by Dastmalchian, with art by Lukas Ketner, coloring by Lauren Affe, and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic, the new volume, available March 23, picks up immediately following 2019’s Reluctant Monster Hunter. Set in 1983 Missouri, the story follows Jerri, an alcoholic TV reporter forced to return to her small hometown to work for her family-run local station.

Spoiler alert: Don’t read this article if you haven’t yet watched the “Survivor 41” finale.

During Wednesday night’s three-hour finale of “Survivor” Season 41, the eight-person jury voted to give the $1 million prize to Erika Casupanan. The first-ever Canadian champion prevailed with seven votes, way ahead of Deshawn Radden in second place with one vote and Xander Hastings in third place with zero votes. Did the right person win? Or did someone else at that final tribal council deserve to join the show’s winners list? Vote in our “Survivor 41” poll below, and then defend your choice in the comments section.

For the first time since Season 1, the winner of “Survivor 41” will be announced on the island. Let that sink in. There won’t be a cheering studio audience, no emotional family member hugs, not even a live reunion with all of the castaways. Jeff Probst spoke candidly with TVLine about the decision to scrap the live element of the finale and do everything in Fiji this time around, with one of his biggest takeaways being that he misses the “big energy” of having fans in attendance.

“There are pros and cons to both,” said the four-time Emmy-winning host about a live finale vs. a pre-taped finale. “I definitely miss the big energy of the live audience and seeing all the family members of our players. That kind of excitement is very unique because it’s more of an event. But what was really cool about revealing the winner in the jungle was the intimacy.

The Final 7 castaways on “Survivor 41” were in disarray after last week’s shocking elimination of Shan Smith. Her fellow alliance members Ricard Foye, Danny McCray and Deshawn Radden had just turned on Shan and Liana Wallace, which left the door open for one of the underdogs — Heather Aldret, Erika Casupanan and Xander Hastings — to pull through. So how did this week’s “Do or Die” twist shake up the game?

Then be sure to sound off in the comments section about your favorite castaways on CBS’s reality TV show, who annoys you the most and who you think will ultimately join the “Survivor” winners list and take home the $1 million grand prize. Jeff Probst hosts the Emmy-winning series.

When we offered up our first power rankings for “Survivor 41,” Jeff Probst had just dropped the merge challenge bombshell on the remaining 12 castaways. Then, Shan Smith had positioned herself to win with multiple advantages in her pocket, the foundation of a powerful alliance, and was getting a heavily favorable edit every episode. Now, after Wednesday’s tenth episode, Shan is out and only seven are left to claim the million dollars.

Below we roll out our second “Survivor 41” power rankings of the season, and with our previous frontrunner sitting on the jury, control of the game is up for grabs. Ricard Foye may have made the power move and Deshawn Radden might be the snake, but is there a bigger threat lurking in the shadows?

One of the most buzzed-about players on “Survivor 41,” Shan Smith from Washington, D.C., was eliminated from Wednesday’s 10th episode in an epic blindside. The 34-year-old pastor went out with a bang as she praised Bff Ricard Foye (saying she’d vote for him to win the $1 million) and blasted alliance member Deshawn Radden (whom she called a “snake”). Shan is now the second player in as many weeks to go home with a hidden immunity idol in their pocket, following Naseer Muttalif last week.

Shan and Ricard had been with each other since day one, though they both readily admitted they didn’t have a final two deal and that the day would eventually come where they’d have to turn on each other. After Ricard won the reward challenge and took Shan, Heather Aldret and Xander Hastings with him to a “Survivor Sanctuary,...

Liana Wallace may hate Xander Hastings‘ face, but “Survivor 41” viewers can’t get enough of it. The 20-year-old app developer from Chicago, Illinois earned a whopping 61% in our recent poll that asked our readers to name their favorite “Survivor 41” player among the Top 8. No one else even comes close. In fact, there’s a two-way tie for second place between Erika Casupanan and Ricard Foye, but they only come in with 9% support apiece.

The Top 8 was declared after the double eliminations of Naseer Muttalif and Evvie Jagoda during the November 17 episode. In a temporary twist, host Jeff Probst split up the remaining 10 players into two separate teams of five, with both groups attending tribal council and voting someone off. Naseer went home first (with an idol in his pocket) while Evvie was ousted second.

Fan-fave Xander won the immunity challenge, so...

Survivor -- double time! There were two teams, two individual immunities, and two castaways voted off. 

On Survivor Season 41 Episode 9, we said goodbye to two lovable fan favorites. It wasn't fair, but Survivor seldom is.

There was so much drama that tribal councils took up over half of the episode!

Deshawn and Shan can't seem to make up their minds about each other. 

It's clear Deshawn and Shan know they need each other, and respect one another enough to keep doing the work to maintain their alliance, but it's wearing on both of them. 

This is where the rubber hits the road.

“Survivor” returned last week with an epic, two-hour premiere in which host Jeff Probst welcomed 18 all-new guys players to Fiji. After the back-to-back eliminations of Yase’s Eric Abraham and Ua’s Sara Wilson, the remaining 16 castaways were ready for another round of outwitting, outplaying and outlasting. Did the Luvu tribe win immunity yet again, keeping their numbers strong at six? Or did Ua or Yase pull out their first immunity victory, thereby preventing their team from losing another player?

Season 41 touches down Wednesday, Sept. 22, at 8/7c with a two-hour premiere on CBS, and if you’re a Survivor junkie such as myself, you’ve likely been jonesing for a fresh batch of hopefuls to hit that glorious Fijian sand.

In a game of strategy and social bonds, challenge strength remains an important component in “Survivor” 20 years later. Opinion is split on how much value there is in Immunity Challenge wins, but more often than not, they have helped players beast their way to the end and even with the $1 million prize. Examples include Tom Westman (“Palau”), Rob Mariano (“Redemption Island”), Kim Spradlin (“One World”) and Mike Holloway (“Worlds Apart”).

Other challenge beasts are able to win a bunch of challenges but just come up short in the end. Colby Donaldson is one of the original cases of this, and we have seen players like Ozzy Lusth, Terry Deitz, Spencer Bledsoe and Brad Culpepper do the same, without claiming the title of Sole Survivor. Then there are players like Joe Anglim, who are just so good at challenges that they must be voted out the minute they lose an Immunity Challenge.

Bruce Springsteen reflected Wednesday on the protest movement erupting across the nation in the wake of Minneapolis man George Floyd’s death. He said, “We remain haunted, generation after generation, by our original sin of slavery.”

Springsteen made his comments on SiriusXM as part of his ongoing Bruce Springsteen — From His Home to Yours series on E Street Radio.

The songs he picked in the two-hour broadcast reflected his views on political protest and racial injustice.

He began with his own 41 Shots (American Skin), which he wrote about the death of Guinean immigrant Amadou Diallo in a confrontation with the New York Police Department.

“Eight minutes,” Springsteen said. “That song is almost eight minutes long. That’s how long it took George Floyd to die with a Minneapolis officer’s knee buried into his neck. That’s a long time. That’s how long he begged for help and said he couldn’t breathe.

After a season of controversy, CBS and Survivor have vowed to make some big changes to upcoming seasons in the wake of removing its first player ever from the game over inappropriate conduct.

The news comes on the heels of ejected contestant Dan Spilo publicly apologizing to Kellee Kim, who took Dan to task on the season premiere for unwanted physical contact.

If you watch Survivor online, you know Kim addressed her issues with him directly, but the controversy continued, with Dan being ousted from the show following an off-camera incident with a member of the show's crew.

Viewers and members of the cast were not impressed at how long it took for CBS or the producers to actually do something about it.

"We recognize there are things we could have done differently, and we are determined to do better going forward," CBS and Survivor said in a joint statement via Deadline.

Before the close of Survivor Season 39, which CBS acknowledges was “unprecedented” in how “inappropriate individual behavior intersect[ed] with game play,” the network has announced new policies and procedures designed to curb sexual harassment, biases and other social issues.

“We recognize there are things we could have done differently” during Season 39, which saw castaway Dan Spilo historically removed from the competition after multiple alleged instances of inappropriate physical contact with cast and crew, “and we are determined to do better going forward,” the network said in a statement.

Boosted by the awards juggernaut that is “Game of Thrones,” HBO was able to regain its place at the top of the list of overall Emmy nominations. Numbering among its leading 137 bids are a record 32 for the final season of the fantasy series. Last year, Netflix had broken HBO’s 17-year reign at the top of the charts when it earned 112 nomination to the paycaster’s 108; this year, the streaming service had to settle for second place with 117 nominations.

Four years ago, programming on Netflix merited a mere 34 Emmy Awards nominations. In 2016, it was up to 56 bids and then numbered 91 nominations in 2017. Among the big four traditional broadcast networks, NBC leads again buoyed by the success of “This Is Us.” ABC, CBS and Fox are well behind the peacock network.

While the first trailer for Avengers: Endgame already made it perfectly clear that the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War sequel will be taking us back to the team’s HQ, a recent Lego leak goes one further to suggest that the Avengers compound, as well as Tony Stark’s armor room, might serve as the backdrop for a little action.

The first of the two leaked descriptions describes a set titled “Avengers Compound Battle,” which is said to include minifigures for Hulk, Ant-Man, Thanos, and one of the Mad Titan’s Outrider minions. The second is the latest of multiple leaks to allege a set titled “Iron Man Armor Room,” which reportedly comes with models for the Mark 1, 5, 41 and 50 armors, along with the “Igor” suit, a Tony Stark head (presumably to switch onto the armor minifigs), and another Outrider.

Roma earns three wins; The Death Of Stalin takes best screenplay.

Chloe Zhao’s The Rider was named best picture on Saturday (5) by the National Society Of Film Critics, while Olivia Colman for The Favourite and Ethan Hawke for First Reformed claimed acting honours.

Alfonso Cuarón won the directing and cinematography prizes for Roma, his Spanish-language Mexican film that also scooped the best foreign film award. In the supporting acting categories, Regina King prevailed for If Beale Street Could Talk, as did Steven Yeun for South Korea’s Burning.

Armando Iannucci, David Schneider, and Ian Martin claimed screenplay honours for The Death Of Stalin.

Although he was never a Hollywood favorite during his tenure, President George H.W. Bush did have many memorable moments captured on video, ranging from news sound bytes to political gaffes to parodies of his tenure.

The latter were particularly evident via Saturday Night Live, which did 22 sketches on the president.

Most of those involved comedian Dana Carvey, who did an impressive imitation of Bush 41’s speech and mannerisms. President Bush was a good sport about it, actually appearing with Carvey and later inviting him to the White House. The two became surprisingly fast friends, as Carvey attests in the video above.

But President H.W. Bush also will be remembered for several other moments that captivated world attention, some of them statements that came back to haunt him, some of them eminently human foibles, others harsh Hollywood takes on his political maneuvers.

Here are a few of his most memorable moments.
