According to the writer of the first three Saw films, Leigh Whannell, Chris Rock has wanted to make a Saw film for years. Spiral: From the Book of Saw is only a few months away, and the turnaround for the film from its original announcement in May of 2019 to now has been a very fast one indeed. Rock, who is serving as the star, executive producer, and writer (writer of the story outline), felt like an unusual choice to re-launch the horror franchise, which fans thought hit the end of the road after Jigsaw in 2017....

Video game designer Cliff Bleszinski is weirdly blaming “woke” politics for his Lawbreakers game’s failure. Lawbreakers is evidence that even good games can sell poorly. Despite its plethora of positive reviews both from critics and players, it managed to launch with player counts lower than even Gearbox’s failed hero shooter/MOBA hybrid Battleborn. While Lawbreakers and Battleborn are both perfectly good games, they failed for many of the same reasons - competition from Overwatch, PUBG, and (later) Fortnite....

Cliff Bleszinski has revealed that he is not going to make another video game. The developer, who is renowned for his work on the likes of the Unreal and Gears of War franchises, took to Twitter to confirm that he has no intention of going back into video game development. Cliffy B’s leave of absence from gaming came after the closure of his own studio, Boss Key Productions. After taking the gamble of full creative control under his own company, unfortunately debut title Lawbreakers failed to find an audience, and although battle royale title Radical Heights was rushed into an early access release, it couldn’t save Boss Key Productions as a whole....

New social media posts from both China Telecom and China Mobile (via GSMArena) are building some hype for dual-SIM support for this year’s iPhones. While details about which models and regions will get the upgrade are still hazy, the latest advertisements indicate that at least one of the new iPhones will get the new user-friendly feature in the country. Last month, in contrast to Kuo’s forecast, Economic Daily News reported that it would actually be the 6....

Here’s a bit of an odd rumor surrounding a Bluetooth smart watch from Apple, something that we’ve speculated in the past could make sense for a future, Bluetooth 4.0-enabled iPod nano. According to a report from iphone.tgbus.com (via major Chinese news portal 163.com) that cited supply chain sources, Apple is currently collaborating with Intel on the design of an Apple-branded Bluetooth smart watch. As for what we can expect from Apple’s rumored smart watch, the report listed specs including a 1....

The classic film Christmas Vacation is one of our favorite Christmas movies to revisit. It’s a great mixture of physical comedy, one-liners, and priceless characters. It’s hard to pin down what element makes it the best. The more we’ve thought about it, the more we’ve realized how terrible the animals are and how awful they make things for everyone else around them. But if we’re being honest, it’s not just them; it’s the humans, too....

When Brandon Routh plays Superman once again in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, does this mean the Arrowverse is making Christopher Reeve’s Superman movies canon? It was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Routh will once again don the red cape and blue tights during this year’s Arrowverse crossover. He and Tyler Hoechlin, who plays Superman in Supergirl, will each portray different versions of the Man of Steel, reportedly from different time frames....

Sitcoms are, by nature, super repetitive. Fans love watching the same characters, setting, and sometimes, the same situations week by week. It makes sense that many of these TV comedies have catchphrases that are said over and over again. While some of these are funny and comforting, others are annoying and grating. Not every line of dialogue can be a winner, after all. Here are the five most hilarious classic sitcom catchphrases, along with five that are definitely overrated....

Oscar-winner Charlize Theron will play reporter Megyn Kelly in a new movie from director Jay Roach about disgraced former FOX News chairman Roger Ailes. A one-time political consultant who helped elect presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, Ailes changed the American media landscape forever when in 1996 he took over running cable channel FOX News. Under Ailes’ stewardship, the channel rose to become a true force not only in the media world but also in politics, as it blended straight reporting with political commentary from a stable of popular, sometimes controversial hosts....

Rival tech companies haven’t been shy when it comes to Apple attack ads, but one Chinese company has definitely crossed the line in a promotion for its forthcoming Android smartphone. LeTV has posted to Weibo a poster likening Apple to Nazis, a red Apple armband replacing the Nazi logo. The underlying message is supposed to compare the claimed freedom of the Android platform with the carefully controlled iOS one, but it’s hard to imagine a more offensive way to try to communicate it....

Following iOS this afternoon, Chrome 66 is rolling out today for Mac with several user-facing features and policy changes. This includes new media autoplay behavior, a passwords export feature, and other security changes. In January with version 64, Chrome allowed users to mute audio on a site-by-site basis in order to make the playback experience more consistent. Google is now continuing those efforts with new policies that govern when media can autoplay — or start automatically — in Chrome 66:...

The Nintendo Switch continues filling out its library of PC roguelite ports, and the recent Persian fantasy-influenced City of Brass has the added distinction of being that rarity in the genre: an FPS variation. It bears more than a passing similarity to modern roguelite bellwether Spelunky; the time limit is meager and the list of hazards is predictable yet positioned nefariously, with aesthetic inspirations largely drawn from a classic Hollywood tradition of action-adventure films....

Not many Hollywood stars can claim the same amount of commitment to their roles as Ford v Ferrari star Christian Bale, the English actor known for his rapid fluctuations in weight between films. Whether gaining a beer gut, emaciating himself, or getting shredded for shirtless scenes, Bale has done it all - but he’s never been blind to the impact this behavior has on his health. Now, he may finally be putting this phase of his career to bed, and calming his commitment down to the level of his more casual peers....
