The film bills itself as an investigation of "what was really going on behind the scenes." Check out the trailer below.In addition to Rothstein, the film is co-executive produced by Rebecca Evans and Ross Girard from Campfire, Tim Lee, Michael Cho and Mimi Rode from Olive Hill, Travis Collins, Kyle Kramer, and Randall Lane from Forbes, and Danni Mynard.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fortnite Season 6 has gone "Primal" and that means a whole bunch of new features have arrived. We've already gone over things like how to craft weapons in Fortnite and what's in the Fortnite Season 6 Battle Pass, but what about the map itself?

The Zero Point has been fixed… sort of. At least total annihilation seems no longer imminent, but there's more to see and do in the seasons ahead, no doubt. But while we await the next chapter in Agent Jones' saga to save the multiverse, Season 6 is feeling the brunt of the current chaos.New Location: The SpireIn place of the sand comes a monolithic new location, The Spire. This tall, spiral rock formation houses a bunch of loot at its peak but it's been very popular for that reason, so visit it off the drop at your own risk. It's certified spicy. If you do head there, make sure to use the new nearly vertical ziplines stretching out in all directions for a quick getaway.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When you visit Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan, you're immersed in the world of the Mario games--and even get to track down some very fun Easter eggs. In fact, the theme park land's two rides are based on the Mario Kart franchise and Yoshi, Mario's dragon sidekick. The Nintendo-based fun doesn't end at the park, though. In fact, the wearable Power Up Band that you can purchase in the park can also be used with your Nintendo Switch at home.Power Up Bands allow you to interact more with the land while visiting--from punching coin blocks and finding Easter eggs, to tracking your score on the Mario Kart ride and fighting Bowser Jr. in a boss battle. However, the band also acts as an Amiibo for use with your Nintendo Switch."Super Nintendo World Power Up Bands were designed to also be Nintendo Amiibo by default," Senior Director of Technology and Innovation for Universal Creative Tom Geraghty said in a statement. "This allows you to use your Power Up Band beyond Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan. You can use your Power Up Band just like you would use any other Amiibo."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actor Ralph Fiennes is the latest actor from the Harry Potter films to jump into the fire surrounding author J.K. Rowling and her stance on transgender rights. In an interview with The Telegraph, the actor came out in defense of the author whose books (and subsequent films) helped put his noseless face into the nightmares of countless children over the last two decades."I can't understand the vitriol directed at her," Fiennes said. "I can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing."Rowling has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons since at least June of last year, when she commented on a story that referred to "people who menstruate," a description meant to include not just people who were born and identify as women but also people who do not identify as women but still experience those functions. Amid backlash for the comments, Rowling doubled down with an essay that simultaneously acknowledged the heightened risk that trans people experience while also suggesting that enough of them could be predators that they shouldn't be allowed into single-sex spaces for women.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Joker does not actually say the words "we live in a society" in Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League. The internet exploded in excitement when Jared Leto's Joker uttered the line in a trailer for the Snyder Cut, but unfortunately for all of us, he doesn't actually say it in the final movie.If you aren't familiar, "we live in a society" is a catchphrase that became associated with the Joker due to an influx of memes starting around 2016. The line was first popularized by the "Gamers Rise Up" style of meme, which originally satirized internet edgelords, but it's now crossed over. It's usually employed these days to poke fun at comic book nerds who say they identify with the Joker.By the way, Joker does not say "we live in a society" in the Snyder Cut. — Matt Patches (@misterpatches) March 15, 2021We live in a society https://t.co/3OaJxZlfOy — JARED LETO (@JaredLeto) February 14, 2021The use of the phrase in the trailer prompted a lot of commentary, including from Jared Leto himself in the above tweet. As for the Snyder Cut itself, it releases on March 18. In our Zack Snyder's Justice League review, critic Mason Downey scored the film 3/10 and compared it to "watching paint dry." "The temptation to crown a "winner" between the two versions is obviously there, but doing so largely misses the point," he wrote. "You now have a choice between a slightly shorter uninspired mess of a movie, or a longer one."Info from Gamespot.com
