The Martin Lawrence/Will Smith action movie franchise Bad Boys isnt something youd normally see covered on io9 or Gizmodo. But w salomon gtx hen you get a chance to be the first person ever to talk to the writer/director of the film, Joe Carnahan, about it, you make an exception. Originally slated for released June 2017, the newly titled Bad Boys For Life is now scheduled for release January 12, 2018. Itll bring back the stars 15 years after the last action comedy, which centers on two Miami polic adiletten original e officers with foul mouths and big personalities. The added tim dunks e has given Carnahan who made Narc, Smokin Aces, The A-Team, and The Grey ample time to prep what he says is the strongest script of any of those movies. Hands down. In a walk over. Unless youre Toy Story 3, usually third ones arent the strongest, and I think this one will be the strongest of the trilogy thus far, Carnahan told us on the phone in Boston where hes prepping Wheelman, an action film with frequent collaborator Frank Grillo. Hes also writing the next draft of the video game Uncharted, all while setting his sites on early next year and filming Bad Boys For Life. Theres a lot of funny shit in this movie, he said. And theres also a very mysterious, but tonally spot-on story that I think is kind of perfect for where we are in this day and age, where the guys are and reflectively, a very modern take on these guys.

Pedg A Reminder That the Post-Apocalypse Is Never a Good Time to Rely on the Kindness of Strangers
The world of Wreck-It Ralph was born from video games. In the first film, theres Fix-It Felix Jr., Sugar Rush, and Heros Duty. And even though the second film, Ralph Breaks the Internet, doesnt take place in an arcade, the filmmakers were not going to miss a chance t adidas samba o add another game to the universe. That new game is called Slaughter Race and its a huge, huge part of Ralph Breaks the Internet. You might not know that yet because its been only glimpsed briefly in the promotional materials, but its the game that stars Gal Gadots character, Shank. However, once you see the movie, youll not only want to play Slaughter Race immediately but learn more about it too. Unfortunately, we cant help with the former, but we can help with the latter. We knew Vanellope should end up in a racing game, that it was going to serve as sort of a wedge in [she and Ralphs] relationship and that it would be something where she would start to fall in love with the internet, co-director Phil Johnston told io9. From there, inspiration was initially drawn from that past. In the first Wreck-It Ralph, early on in development, there was going to be a fourth game. A kind of Sims meets Grand Theft Auto hybrid called Extreme Easy Living ugg mini 2. And though Slaughter Race is way, way more intense than that, co-director Rich Moore admitted they drew some inspiration from that pre adidas campus vious work.

Solar energy has a dark side. Those gargantuan plants that sprawl out like deconstructed disco balls sacrifice valuable open space and put wildlife, and possibly human lives, at risk. A new study by Stanford researchers says that focusing our solar energy efforts in already-developed urban areas could yield more power鈥攂y collecting energy where we actually use it. The idea of turning skechers sicherheitsschuhe our cities into large-scale energy production centers doesn ;t sound that radical, but it drastically different from the way power is delivered to our homes. For the most part, utility companies treat solar energy the same as other location-specific energy sources like hydroelectric plants or wind farms, so the majority of solar collection hap nike air force pens on dedicated land far, far away from cities. Building the infrastructure syste adidas campus 00s ms to transport the energy from these rural areas into the city can end up costing almost as much as the plants themselves and cause the same level of environmental disturbance all the way back to town. And then you have to use energy to get it there. It doesn ;t make much sense.

The Japan Information 038; Culture Center JICC , Embassy of Japan, and the National Museum of Asian Art are co-presenting a retrospective event in honor of the influential director/animator. Also available will be a 2021 doc af1 umentary, The Illusionist, by the French director, Pascal-Alex Vincent. All films are available via the JCC by clicking here. Even if you dont know who Satoshi Kon is, you have probably watched a film inspired by his work. The late animation writer/director is especially well known for four films; Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, and Paprika. In particular, Paprika was cited as an inspiration for Christopher Nolans Inception and Darren Aronofsky included an homage to Kon in Requiem for a Dream. Other films that filmmakers have described as inspired by Kon include Into the Spiderverse, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Black Swan. Kons work often deals with the way that extreme situations blur the lines between fantasy and reality. He often combines science fiction tropes in mind-bending ways that are beautifully expres adidas campus sed through his animation. Dont be fooled by the style of some of these films; Kon strove to push animtion to deal with adult situations, and his work is intended for adult audiences.

We have lived with dragons, after all, those strange and terrible animals with their curiously human eyes, and some of us come back down from the broken mountains with their hisses still in our ears. I was taken by the green dragon of Mahr when I was fifteen, and it was a full year before my lord brought me back down. Forty years would salomon wanderschuhe pass before I would come to those steep paths again. The first time I was flown, clutched in horny talons with my silk dress fluttering like a banner, and the second time I was carried down half-unconscious, slung like a dead woman over the back of a bay stallion. This time, I wore the clean white robe of the penitent, and I was on foot. I stared up at the mountains, where men never went save to rescue princesses, and where it was said that women never went at all unless it was on the coppery wings of a dragon. It was dawn when I started my climb up the mountain, and by midday I was sweaty and hot.

Normally when reviewing a movie, you come up with a healthy mix of positive and negative things to say about it. In the case of Disneys Moana, though, Im really struggling to come up with the latter. Its just that wonderful. Where to begin Well, its probably no surprise that the animation adidas originals damen is gorgeous. Water is one of the hardest things in the world to mimic and this film, which is largely set on or near the ocean, does it seamlessly in almost every single shot. Then there are the songs, by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foai, and Mark Mancina, which are catchy and expertly placed in the story. Were talking old-school, Disney-level stuff鈥攕ongs you and your kids will be singing for years to come. Then there are the characters who, from top to bottom, are memorable and well-rounded. Of course, the leads are great b nike air max ut even the sidekicks, the rooster Hei Hei and pig Pua, are delightful. Plus, the film doesnt shy away from going a little dark. Characters die, are placed in mortal peril, and reject their core beliefs at the behest of everything they love. Directed by Disney legends Ron Clements and John Musker, Moana follows a young girl voiced by newcomer Aulii Cravalho who leaves the comfort of her home island to travel the ocean, meet a demigod, and save the world.

Deutsche Bahn, the German government-owned rail system that manages travel throughout the country, is planning to add autonomous vehicles to its system with the goal of offering seamless door-to-door transit. As Deutsche Bahns CEO Reedier Grube explained to the German publication WirtschaftsWoche, the system already markets trains as a good alternative to driving because they help passengers use time more effectively. If in the future autonomous cars can do this, then the operators of these cars can claim the same about their services. adidas originals Thats why we will have to add autonomously driving cars to our offering. The railway operator has been discussing using self-driving cars internally for some time.

Less than two years after purchasing Whole Foods Market WFM , increasin adidas yeezyslide gly not-online retail giant Amazon looks to be eying yet another chain of grocery stores, according to reporting from the Wall Street Journal. Two grocery chains may seem like overkill to consumers, but WFM made its name on only stocking items within specific parameters鈥攍ike its blanket ban on foods with artificial colors, for instance. A second grocery chain would allow Amazon to carry a wider variety of edibles. While the WSJs sources claim the new, unnamed chain is not meant to cut into WFMs market, Amazons decision to sign leases on at least three locations comes less than a week after it dropped the Whol adidas samba damen e Foods 365 concept. The small-format 365s, which potentially clashed with the cashierless Ama adidas campus 00 zon Go convenience stores, are slated to convert to regular Whole Foods locations. The first of the new grocery chain stores is said to be opening in Los Angeles, with Amazon also reportedly in talks to expand to D.C., San Francisco; Chicago, Philadelphia, and its home city of Seattle. Amazon declined to comment on the WSJ report, citing its policy to not comment on rumors or speculation.

Oh great, thats a good angle of the gas tank, glad Im using this groundbreaking technology, I smugly said to myself. And then, our beleaguered local resident started to drive and everything became clear. Lincoln the Goose named after the car it loves is truly fixated on this one automobile. It doesnt want to be apart so it gloriously flies alongside, causing our local resident great concern. If she slows down enough, Lincoln will stop flying and walk in front of the car, forcing her to stop. At one point, Lincoln flies in front of an oncoming truck causing it to put on the brakes.

Comic books are their own worst enemies. The very same narrative complexity and density that pulls some readers in and turns them into lifelong fans can also turn people off鈥攑eople who see comics sprawling storytelling style as a barrier to entry. This is particularly true of Marvels X-Men. All it takes is a couple minutes of skimming through an X-Men Wiki, or simply talking to a hardcore X-Men fan, to realize that Marvels m yeezy utants have one of the most collectively complicated, intricate, and contradictory backstories in comics history. What began as a humble crew of outcast teenagers with strange abilities has, over the past 54 years, grown into a wild assortment of gods, demons, and monsters whove helped shape the entirety of the Marvel universe. As important and iconic as the X-Men are, their shared pasts have become increasingly difficult to string together as a single narrative, since different writers have introduced and then erased various plot lines and character arcs. While you can go back and piece together X-Men history bit by bit, the larger story is one thats never really been able to gel on its own.
