Another year in film kicked off with a strong slate of potential awards winners, many of which had premiered late last year overseas. I was particularly impressed with titles like The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, and A Real Pain – they all immediately jumped to the top of my list as serious contenders.
Alas, the plot thickens! While bulls have repelled sellers, their victory feels as hollow as a politician’s promise. Buying volume? About as enthusiastic as a sloth at a rave. Meanwhile, the UNIfication proposal-a Yuletide gift wrapped in deflationary ribbons-burned $591 million like it was Monopoly money. How delightfully extravagant! Future fees will continue this fiery purge, because why hoard tokens when you can torch them for drama?
Around the early 2000s, Blizzard was developing a spin-off of StarCraft that could have positioned them as a major competitor to Bungie in the first-person shooter market. This new game, StarCraft: Ghost, would have featured a stealth-focused agent exploring the StarCraft universe from a different viewpoint, and its emphasis on online multiplayer play had the potential to revolutionize the genre. This is the story of how Blizzard almost created a rival to Halo, and the reasons why the game was ultimately never released.
A new perspective using quantum phase space reveals the underlying mechanisms driving decoherence in nanoscale systems.
The Star Fox series is a good illustration of this internal struggle. The original game was a hit when it came out in 1993, and there have been seven main Star Fox games released since then.

However, like many similar films, it’s become incredibly popular on streaming services. For fans of action and thrillers, Ice Road: Vengeance is definitely worth watching. It’s packed with exciting action, memorable scenes, and unexpected twists, making it a standout hit of 2025 that action movie lovers shouldn’t miss.
Rumors suggest Madame Masque could be the villain in the upcoming Spider-Man movie. This speculation started with a set photo showing a grey-haired woman with an umbrella, and fans think the actress might be Melanie Scrofano, known for her role in Wynonna Earp.
Yet, mark well this irony: the crowd, though grim in visage, showers them with coins, even as the market’s tempest rages on. A paradox, is it not? 🌪️
There’s been talk that Marvel Studios is interested in working with Jordan Peele as they plan future projects after the current ‘Multiverse Saga.’ The rumor, originally reported by Daniel Richtman, didn’t say what Peele might work on, but it got attention when his production company, Monkeypaw Productions, responded with a suggestive ‘side-eye’ emoji.
