5 World War II Movies That Are Totally Inaccurate, Ranked by How Wrong they Are

Sometimes, filmmakers need to make stories easier to understand, which can involve simplifying complicated events. Other times, they create fictional characters, change when things happened, or even change who participated in key moments of the war. Curious about which movies take these liberties? Here’s a ranked list of World War II films that aren’t historically accurate.

Cyberpunk Is Officially Making a Major Comeback Thanks To These 3 Upcoming Sci-Fi TV Shows

Despite its enduring appeal, cyberpunk hasn’t always been successful – films like Johnny Mnemonic and even early reactions to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner were major disappointments. While Blade Runner is now considered a classic, it was initially seen as a failure. This illustrates how often opinions on cyberpunk have differed. However, with new projects like the upcoming Neuromancer series, season two of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and Blade Runner 2099, it seems cyberpunk has finally found its footing in television.

Tim Allen Says He “Never Really Wanted to Be a Dad”

You know, it’s funny how life surprises you. I recently spoke with the actor from Toy Story 5, and he shared something really personal – he never actually envisioned becoming a dad! He has two wonderful children: Katherine Allen, who’s 36, with his former partner Laura Deibel, and Elizabeth Allen-Dick, 17, with his wife Jane Hajduk. It just goes to show you can’t always predict what the future holds, even for someone in the public eye.

Quantum Roulette: $2B Bet, No Safety Net!

A quantum computer, probably, or maybe just a shiny fridge.

These aren’t your grandma’s research grants. Oh no, this is industrial policy with a side of profit-seeking. IBM gets a cool $1 billion to build a superconducting wafer foundry, because nothing says “future” like a billion-dollar waffle iron. GlobalFoundries snags $375 million for a multi-architecture fab, which sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel but is probably just a very expensive factory. The remaining $636 million is split among seven companies actually building quantum computers, because why put all your eggs in one basket when you can scatter them across superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, and neutral-atom modalities?

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis’s Use of Generative AI Explained by Crystal Dynamics

He showed how generative AI helped the team quickly create images of objects for the game, allowing them to easily decide if the designs were working. Once approved, these AI-generated designs would then be refined using the studio’s usual process: creating concept art, fully building the object, and polishing it. He emphasized that all the final assets in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis were ultimately made by human artists.

Steven Spielberg Just Finally Answered the Biggest E.T. Question After 44 Years

I was listening to Spielberg on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, talking about his new movie, and the host asked about Elliott and E.T. – if they ever met up again. Spielberg said they didn’t, not exactly. He explained that Elliott did continue to dream about E.T., suggesting they always had a sort of psychic connection. He even pointed out that in the movie, E.T. touched Elliott’s forehead and promised, ‘I’ll be right here,’ which really cemented that bond for me.
