  • Eddie Munson gets QUIET

    Eddie Munson gets QUIET

    Deadline reports that Joseph Quinn, who recently earned a huge fan following through his performance as Eddie Munson in the most recent season of Stranger Things, is in negotiations to take a leading role in A Quiet Place: Day One..

    Paramount has the film scheduled for a March 8, 2024 theatrical release.

    Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) was attached to write and direct A Quiet Place: Day One for a while, but when he dropped out he was replaced by Pig director Michael Sarnoski.

    Details on this spin-off are being kept under wraps. The story does take place in the same world established in the first two movies, but apparently doesn’t involve the Abbott family, the characters we followed through the two movies directed by John Krasinski.

    Poland’s Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, has convened the Committee of the Council of Ministers for National Security and Defense Affairs “as a matter of urgency”, government spokesman Piotr Müller confirmed, with local news sites claiming this is likely the result of the explosions.

  • Money to be made: Netflix orders more Watcher and more Dahmer

    Money to be made: Netflix orders more Watcher and more Dahmer

    Were you naïve enough to think that just one season would be enough for both stories? Not a chance, we’re on the way.

    Netflix has ordered two more seasons of Monster, which will move away from Jeffrey Dahmer to “tell the stories of other monstrous figures who have impacted society.” The Dahmer season of Monster has already achieved over 934 million view hours from Netflix subscribers around the world, and is expected to reach 1 billion hours soon.

    The “real estate thriller” The Watcher, which is also inspired by a true story will be getting a second season.

    Those who follow the real life story of Watcher know full well that the Netflix version veered away substantially from the true story. Count that one as a “inspired by true events,“ and nothing like the Jeffrey Dahmer “based on real events.”

  • Corey Cunningham wins one for the killer

    Corey Cunningham wins one for the killer

    As much as some fans seem to hate HALLOWEEN ENDS, it has made money..

    As per The Numbers, with the money it earned on Thursday, November 3, the final entry in director David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy has earned $100.1 million at the global box office.

    That includes $62 million domestically and $38 million from overseas ticket sales. Historically, this series has always done better on the domestic side of things.

    Regardless, against a reported $20 million budget, that makes this a winner for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse.

    So.. this still means it Ends right ?

    Boy we hope..

  • Blood moon lunar eclipse to rise on Election Day

    Blood moon lunar eclipse to rise on Election Day

    An ominous blood moon lunar eclipse will hang in the sky as ballots are set to be tallied for the Nov. 8 general election.
    The Election Day eclipse, NASA says, is the last total lunar eclipse the Earth will see for the next three years.

    A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon align, causing the moon to be draped in the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow, known as the umbra.

  • Spacey wins!! ‘Not liable’

    Spacey wins!! ‘Not liable’

    In a victory for Kevin Spacey, a New York jury on Thursday afternoon found him not liable for battery on allegations he picked up actor Anthony Rapp and briefly laid on top of him in a bed after a party in 1986..

    Jurors deliberated for about an hour, and concluded Rapp did not prove that Spacey “touched a sexual or intimate part” of Rapp.

    Judge Lewis Kaplan formally dismissed the case. Attorneys seated on either side of Spacey immediately put their hands on his back when the verdict was read.

  • Art Bell as AI

    Art Bell as AI

    If Art Bell was alive today he would absolutely love the idea of artificial intelligence creating artwork. It deserves a lot of attention and a lot of questions as well.

    What is this art? Why is it so dark? We may explore more about this ..

    In the meantime enjoy what Coast to Coast a.m.’s website showcased: a listener to the program asked AI to come up with what it perceived Art Bell as being ..

    From the site:

    A Coast listener going back nearly 25 years, James writes, “What I have found is AI art can be very realistic…to prophetic…to simply creepy. I feel the spirit of Art coming through in some of these AI-prompted creations.” “The AI images I create are done through the AI program Midjourney. To create an image, you need to input a prompt into the AI. This can be as simple as, “Create an image of a wolf”…or, you can get more complicated and give the AI exact details such as; style, influence, lens/camera used, rendering style etc.”

    Perhaps our favorite image of all from the collection presented:

  • Astronomers are captivated by ‘brightest flash ever seen’

    Astronomers are captivated by ‘brightest flash ever seen’

    The burst of gamma-rays — the most intense form of electromagnetic radiation — was first detected by orbiting telescopes on October 9, and its afterglow is still being watched by scientists across the world.

    Astrophysicist Brendan O’Connor told AFP that gamma-ray bursts that last hundreds of seconds, as occurred on Sunday, are thought to be caused by dying massive stars, greater than 30 times bigger than our Sun.

    The star explodes in a supernova, collapses into a black hole, then matter forms in a disk around the black hole, falls inside, and is spewed out in a jet of energy that travels at 99.99 percent the speed of light.
