Minecraft announced on Twitter today that a whopping 122 million copies of the game have been sold to date.
Hurrah! Sending a big thank you to all our amazing players.
In addition to the sales numbers, Minecraft revealed in a follow-up tweet that Minecraft has 55 million monthly players, which is pretty impressive as well. That’s up from 40 million monthly players in June of 2016.
The presenters for the final award — Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway — were incorrectly given the best actress award envelope. A confused Beatty saw Emma Stone’s name and “La La Land,” and handed the envelope to Dunaway, who then announced the musical as the Best Picture winner.
The “La La Land” cast took the stage and producers began their speeches. But they stopped midway when they realized their error.
“There’s a mistake. ‘Moonlight’ you guys won best picture,” Jordan Horowitz said to the shocked Dolby Theater audience. “This is not a joke, come up here” the producer added. “Moonlight has won best picture.”
Beatty then returned to the microphone to explain: “I want to tell you what happened. I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, ‘La La Land.’ That’s why I took such a long look at Faye and at you. I wasn’t trying to be funny.”
A US Air Force plane which helped in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster has been called in to find the source of a mysterious radioactive cloud heading towards the UK.
The WC-135 Constant Phoenix, which is specially modified to collect atmospheric samples, flew out of RAF Mildenhall on a mission to find evidence of nuclear activity or explosion, according to strong rumours.
Specialist equipment enables the crew to detect radioactive debris ‘clouds’ in real time – after such a cloud was believed to be heading towards northern Europe and the Barents Sea.
Watch for activity relevant to Russia on this matter.
Last week, Ground Zero host Clyde Lewis had a very good program about nuclear fallout across Europe and how, just maybe, Russia is poising itself to be the ANTI Trump amid all of the world news that Trump was aided by Putin during the 2016 race..
The event horizon looks dark.. It’s an eclipse kind of year.
To me, one of the best films he was ever in–and maybe one of the best horror movies in the past 20 years–was FRAILTY in 2001 .. THAT LONG AGO ALREADY!?
The character he plays, the father of two boys he’s drawing into his bizarre gospel, is definitely crazy. But he may also — possibly — be right..
His skills in the movie were amazing.. he made it be the classic it was..
There are nothing but kind words from all circles for Paxton. He will be missed. And he’s gone too soon.

During the prime of Professional Wrestling, at least in my life..
The stars pictured on the cover were big names.. Earthquake..Undertaker..Hogan..Warrior…Alfred..
I actually fondly recall having this issue, and keeping it around for years. From time to time I paged through it again.. It’s one of those back issues that somehow over the years I lost track of. It has vanished, despite my (sad) collection of old magazines, including several issues of MAD. This one, somehow, is gone..
But in my memory? It exists .. Thanks for leaving such an indelible mark, Mad..
My opinion doesn’t amount to more than a hill of rotted beans, but I think this year’s Razzies Award pick for ‘worst’ film is the ‘worst’ pick they could have chosen.. It went political. The movie yielding the the banner of worst of 16: HILLARY’S AMERICA by Dinesh D’Souza..
The annual tongue-in-cheek Razzie awards, which serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s Oscars ceremony, named Dinesh D’Souza’s “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party” as the worst film of 2016. D’Souza, a conservative commentator and best-selling author, was named worst actor for narrating his documentary and worst director alongside Bruce Schooley. Worst actress went to the person who portrayed Clinton in the film.
I get that Hollywood is anti-Trump, pro Hillary.. I understand that this is their time to make statements.. But I am increasingly wary of how political EVERYTHING is .. Even the Razzies, the awards meant to poke fun and be sarcastic to Hollywood. Instead it’s given Hollywood a vehicle to poke at Trump. Which is fine. Which is dandy. But it’s also getting obnoxious. I just want to go through a day without seeing anything about Donald Trump, or politics.. Just one day. 24 hours.. A cycle of freedom and beauty! But it will never abound. Instead, it’s everywhere.. it surrounds us.. it inhabits us.. it precludes us from sanity.
The Razzies gave BATMAN VS SUPERMAN four awards. If it wasn’t for the political statement that was being made, Affleck’s awful disasterpiece action film would have been the sound winner for worst movie in 2016. It would have been well deserved. BATMAN VS SUPERMAN featured an array of boredom coupled with a sickening and dazzling display of non-creativity. It was the worst movie of 2016.

The movie is obvious political and social commentary.. It’s in your face. But many horror films in the past since the dawn movie making have successfully been exactly that.. DON’T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD did not have political overtones.. or Rosemary’s Baby.. or even FRIDAY THE 13TH.. Each film had their array of hidden agendas or obscure messages silently in the background of the crazy killer in a ski mask or the zombie invasion..
GET OUT goes all out there. In your face.

The BATMAN lego movie is expected to continues its dominance..
City medical examiners concluded Churkin’s death needed further study, which usually includes toxicology and other screenings. Those can take weeks.
The medical examiner is responsible for investigating deaths that occur by criminal violence, by accident, by suicide, suddenly or when the person seemed healthy or in any unusual or suspicious manner. Most of the deaths investigated by the office are not suspicious…
