Spider Man Far From Home Director Discusses Confusing Nature Of Blip

In an interview with HuffPost, Spider-Man: Far From Home director, Jon Watts gives his take on the issue. Reading the quote above makes me believe that neither Jon Watts and possibly not even the writers of Avengers: Endgame has a clear and logical explanation of the blip. Watts added: This is a genuinely interesting plot hole/concept that I hope will be explored more in the coming films or TV series, but I highly doubt that will be the case....

The Last Of Us Ii Review Vengeance Is An Ugly Game

The Last Of Us II, however, isn’t such a tale and as evidenced by all currently existing trailers and snippets released by Naughty Dog online, the sequel takes on a much darker tone centered around vengeance and yet, somehow manages to stumble around its own plot. Growing Up Ellie Full disclosure: unlike so many others who have chosen to either ruin the story for themselves or to just simply get the scoop ahead of the crowd, I have not read the leaked spoilers for The Last Of Us II....

Thunderbolt Vulnerability Allows Hackers To Access Pcs In Less Than Five Minutes

According to the researcher, this method of attack requires physical access to the device, therefore port connectivity such as Thunderbolt can be exploited for this breach. The primary reason why the port is effective is due to its fast protocol which partially allows direct access to a computer’s memory. Ruytenberg added that there is actually a feature built into the Thunderbolt firmware called “Security Level”, which disallows access to untrusted devices and even turns off the port altogether....

Two New Transformers Movies Are Currently In The Works

Bay amped up his Bay-isms leading to a bunch of messy, convoluted, somewhat nonsensical movies scattered with racist jokes and bouncing breasts. After four movies, even the casual audiences decided they had enough. Transformers: The Last Knight cost Paramount Studio close to $US 100 million in losses. The studio then decided to regroup and start over, which birthed Bumblebee, which is arguably the second-best live-action Transformers movie to date. While the film was a huge critical success and also grossed over $US 467 million worldwide, it may not have grossed as much as Paramount might’ve been hoping for....
