The first images of Jared Leto as the Joker in Zack Snyder’s Justice League have been revealed.. The images reveal a darker and more dismal portrayal than what we saw in earlier Leto incarnations.
The image was first revealed Vanity Fair and then posted to Twitter by the movie’s official account, show a Joker with heavy white makeup, smudged eyes and lips, and greasy, long hair.
The white coveralls and disguise if his arm and hand tattoos remain…
It would seem Hollywood has decided on a new game.. not who can play the darkest Batman role, but who could play the creepiest or more sinister Joker..
Long gone are the days of bright colors and giddy chuckling..
Instead the horror has been instilled into the role..
It has been all quiet on the Eternia front.. so much so that some fans got nervous..
But now Kevin Smith, creator of the Netflix upcoming HE-MAN series, announced that Bear McCreary of WALKING DEAD music fame, will also be the composer for the upcoming show!
Here is the video:
Smith allowed us to listen to the music as Adam becomes HE-MAN.. “By the power of Grayskull” .. As Smith says, Bear goes into the wood.. and we have a theme re-born in the 21st century..
Years after the late night world last David Letterman’s program, the former talk show host is currently in a woke social media uproar on Tik Tok over an old Lindsay Lohan interview!!
MORE..
Tik Tok user @calabasaswings shared the uncomfortable interview in which Letterman, then in his 10th season as host of The Late Show with David Letterman, repeatedly asks Lohan about going to rehab. At the time, Lohan’s experience with substance use disorder was highly publicized — she was convicted twice of drunken driving and once for cocaine use in 2007, and was in and out of rehab in the subsequent years.
The video here, which was uploaded to YouTube 8 years ago when the interview occurred:
“This is so wrong on so many levels,” TikTok star Madison Beer wrote. Other Tik Tok users have opined similarly and have taken to slam Letterman’s interview, prompting some to ponder if we are witnessing a “cancellation”..
But flashback to media coverage of the interview that took place immediately after in 2013 and you will get a whole different angle.. At that time Hillary Busis wrote this in EW:
Believe it or not, there was more to David Letterman’s big Lindsay Lohan interview than awkward rehab talk. The late night host actually had a surprisingly heartfelt discussion with one of his favorite targets — one that led to Lohan actually tearing up on camera after Letterman praised her for having “enough spine, enough sense of [yourself], and enough poise” to come on the show despite all the jokes he’s made at her expense. Before that earnestness peeked through, though, Letterman and Lohan mostly kept things light, discussing her first appearance on his old NBC show — as a 6-year-old, she played “Things Found on the Floor of the D Train” in a Halloween-themed sketch — and, of course, her checkered past. Lohan said she had planned to do a bit implying that she was wearing a stolen dress; Letterman laughed heartily at the idea.
<br><br>One thing Lohan didn’t want to make light of: Her upcoming rehab stint, which is scheduled to begin May 2. When Letterman tried to steer the conversation toward that subject partway through the interview, the actress shut him down: “I’m looking forward to actually just taking time for me. You can’t make a joke of it. That’s so mean.” And when Letterman playfully asked if he could lob just one quip, Lohan stood her ground — “We’re not doing that. No. This is my show now.”
A hacker was able to successfully alter the levels of chemicals in Oldsmar’s water supply to ‘potentially damaging’ levels Friday, officials said.
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said on Friday morning a plant operator at Oldsmar’s water treatment facility noticed someone remotely accessed the computer system he was monitoring.
The computers are set up for allowing remote access to select people to troubleshoot problems, so the operator didn’t think much about the incident.

The trailer promised “only in theaters” this summer…
Some wondered.. what is a theater. Nonetheless, the new Shyamalan film’s trailer appeared in the early portion of the Super Bowl on CBS..
The movie is called OLD.
Starring Gael García Beral (Mozart in the Jungle) and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread), the film is reportedly based on Sandcastle, a graphic novel by Pierre Oscar Levy. The story focuses on a family’s trip to a beach, and the dark secrets they discover behind its corners.
It’s unclear how faithfully Shyamalan’s movie adapts the Levy story, but in the trailer, we get the beach, the family, and true to the director’s horror-thriller roots, a supernatural turn of events.
Old is among a wave of new films shot under strict set guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic…
Your eyes are not deceiving you. There is a video online where it appears the moon deflates..
The footage was filmed by a Russian cosmonaut on the International Space Station. It seems to show the Earth’s satellite appearing to deflate when it disappears behind the horizon.
But before flat Earth or hollow Earth theorizers pick up on a new “inflatable” moon theory, there appears to be a reason for the appearance: What actually happens in the video is that the moon slowly disappears behind Earth’s horizon and the distortions are caused by the atmosphere of our planet.
British drugmaker AstraZeneca said on Saturday its vaccine developed with the University of Oxford appeared to offer only limited protection against mild disease caused by the South African variant of COVID-19, based on early data from a trial.
The study from South Africa’s University of the Witwatersrand and Oxford University showed the vaccine had significantly reduced efficacy against the South African variant, according to a Financial Times report published earlier in the day.
Among coronavirus variants currently most concerning for scientists and public health experts are the so-called British, South African and Brazilian variants, which appear to spread more swiftly than others.
“In this small phase I/II trial, early data has shown limited efficacy against mild disease primarily due to the B.1.351 South African variant,” an AstraZeneca spokesman said in response to the FT report.
The newspaper said none of the more than 2,000 trial participants had been hospitalized or died.
Just days ago, it was reported that more than 4,000 variants are making their way around the planet ..
“Its very unlikley that the current vaccine won’t be effective on the variants whether in Kent or other variants especially when it comes to severe illness and hospitalization,” Vaccine Deployment Minister Nadhim Zahawi told Sky News in the UK..
“All manufacturers, Pfizer-Biontech, Moderna, Oxford-AstraZeneca and others are looking at how they can improve their vaccine to make sure that we are ready for any variant – there are about 4,000 variants around the world of COVID now.”
Super Bowl ad features stars and cartoon characters, even Samara from the RING.. all to advertise Paramount+, yet another streaming service.
This time, Patrick Stewart told all of the stars to dance and say “we are metaphors.”
There is something sad about this commercial, almost like a viewpoint from a corporate ivory tower … you are owed, the stars are being told. We will tell you what to do and tell you how we will sell you.
It is unclear who the target audience is for this ad–but it will most likely be ridiculed as one of the flattest when it comes to humor and saddest when it comes to innovation. Nothing cutting edge.. nothing biting. Nothing real.
The only one that appears to be happy is Samara slowly dancing while a freaked out Beavis and Butthead remain speechless..
Categorize this up in the ‘crazy Romanian’ file–one overwhelming in high strangeness..
This time the story involves a tragic outcome.
The six-week-old suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to hospital on Monday but he died a few hours later, the autopsy revealing liquid in his lungs. Prosecutors have opened a manslaughter investigation against the priest in the north-eastern city of Suceava…
The UK GUARDIAN is among those reporting facts about the religious killing,
An online petition calling for changes to the ritual had gathered more than 56,000 signatures by Thursday evening. “The death of a newborn baby because of this practice is a huge tragedy,” said a message with the petition. “This risk must be ruled out for the joy of baptism to triumph.”
One internet user denounced the “brutality” of the ritual and another criticised the “stubbornness of those who think that it is the will of God” to maintain it.
Local media recounted several similar incidents in recent years. Church spokesman Vasile Banescu said priests could pour a little water on the baby’s forehead instead of full immersion. But Archbishop Teodosie, leader of the Church’s traditionalist wing, said the ritual would not change.
Eminence Calinic, the Archbishop of Arges, is the most prominent voice so far who appears open to change. “In other icons, Jesus stands in the water up to his neck, and with his head bowed he receives baptism by pouring water over the top of his head,” he was quoted as saying.
The Archbishop of Tomis, however, took a more belligerent stance. “We will never change the ritual. The canons of this religion have been in place for over 1,000 years,” he said. “That is why we won’t change. We are not intimidated.”
It features the beauty and grit of New York along with once busy streets tampered down by a snowstorn.. and the ambulance reminds us also of the virus. A virus that created space on sidewalks long prior to the blizzard of 2021.
To the Reddit user’s credit, it truly is like the cover of a video game about a pandemic in a end times scenario..
Another REDDIT user said, “Was walking back from work (tv studio) with my kids the other day, we walked about 2 blocks in midtown passing literally nobody, no cars, no people, nothing, at 3 pm on a weekday. My daughter flapped her arms around and whispered to me, ‘are we still on set?’”
And one more,
“If it wasn’t for this picture, I’d have a hard time imagining NYC with nearly empty streets. Just doesn’t seem possible”
Not only possible but evident and real..
This photo has no name. But to correspond it with realty, perhaps the perfect fitting label would be titled: “Dark Winter, New York.”
