It’s no secret that a large number of Helldivers 2 players were unhappy with the game’s latest update. Fan-favorite weapons like the flamethrower were nerfed, among other unpopular changes. In response, players protested by allowing Helldiver 2’s world, Super Earth, to be nearly overrun by enemy forces. Now, the game’s developer, Arrowhead Game Studios, is sharing a message to Helldivers 2 fans with a roadmap to fix the title in 60 days.”We’ve spent the last week listening to feedback, reflecting about the path ahead for Helldivers 2 and how we want to continue developing the game,” said game director Mikael Eriksson on the Helldivers 2 Reddit page. “In short, we didn’t hit our target with the latest update. Some things we just didn’t get right–and other more fundamental inconsistencies i…

At D23 recently, Disney officially announced the title of the third Avatar movie–Avatar: Fire and Ash. But what is the significance of that title? Director James Cameron said in an interview that it took a while to find the right name for the film, and in the end, he hopes the title conveys that the film is focused on anger and violence, as well as the aftermath of that being grief and loss.”It took a long time to come up with a title that I felt resonated with what’s in the film,” Cameron told Entertainment Weekly. “I don’t think I could say too much about it until you actually see the film and you see what it means, but if you think of fire as hatred, anger, violence, that sort of thing, and ash is the aftermath. So what’s the aftermath? Grief, loss, right? And then what does that cause…

This year marks the 70th anniversary of Creature from the Black Lagoon, a film that introduced one of the few Universal Monsters who hasn’t been endlessly remade. But the Gill-man may finally be getting a chance for a comeback, with reports that horror veteran James Wan is in negotiations to direct and produce a new Creature from the Black Lagoon remake.Via Deadline, Wan’s take on Creature from the Black Lagoon will be “a grounded modernized retelling that leans into visceral horror while paying respect to the original classic.” In the 1954 original, Ben Chapman and Ricou Browning played the Gill-man, a creature of unknown origin who ran afoul of an expedition in the Amazon. The creature also displayed a very obvious infatuation with a young woman named Kay Lawrence (Julia Adams), who did …

Alien: Romulus will contain a nod to the 2014 survival-horror game Alien: Isolation. Director Fede Alvarez said recently that the Creative Assembly game taught him a lot about horror, and he is honoring the game with a little Easter egg in Alien: Romulus.”The movie is set up in a way [that] every time something bad is about to happen, you will see a phone,” he said on the Inside Total Film podcast. “In the game, every time you knew there’s a phone you’d go, ‘Fuck, I’m about to go into some bad set-piece.’ It’s the same thing here. You’ll see they’re planted strategically throughout the film. When you see the phone, it’s like: Brace for impact.” Alvarez went on to say Alien: Isolation was an experience that “made me see that Alien could truly be terrifying and done well [today].””I…

This week, the Borderlands movie is out in theaters, and the reviews have not been kind. On top of everything else, the PG-13 film is up against Marvel’s R-rated juggernaut, Deadpool and Wolverine, which should sail to another win in its third weekend. But there’s a much darker version of Borderlands that we may never see, because this film was originally intended to be R-rated as well.Borderlands stunt coordinator Jimmy O’Dee told ScreenRant that the movie had a lot of gory violence, including decapitations and dismemberment, that didn’t make it into the final film.”We were shooting an R-rated movie when we did it,” recalled O’Dee. “So, we were blowing people’s heads off. And we were cutting feet off. We were doing all of that. But then, you know, a lot happens. We shot that nearly three …

Most people who buy Pez candy probably aren’t thinking about the flavor of the little brick tablets much at all (none taste very good). Pez is all about the iconic plastic dispensers featuring characters from popular media franchises. Pez Dispensers have become collectibles since first debuting in the US in the 1950s (the candy itself is nearly 100 years old). There aren’t very many Pez Dispensers themed around video game franchises, but if you’re an Animal Crossing fan, Amazon has a limited-time deal on a 12-pack featuring Tom Nook, K.K. Slider, and Isabelle Pez Dispensers. So if you need party favors for an Animal Crossing-themed birthday party, check out this Amazon deal before it’s gone.
