A recent report suggests that production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will begin in February of 2021. The film was put on hold after controversial tweets involving writer and director James Gunn led to Disney firing him. Initially, Disney didn’t want to rehire Gunn, but he’s since been brought back on to helm the upcoming third entry. The film was originally expected to arrive in theaters sometime next year, but with production now reportedly set to begin in a couple of years, the film will arrive in theaters at a later date....

Although it’ll be delayed while James Gunn finishes work on the sequel to Suicide Squad, which may or may not also function as a reboot, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is on the way.

A lot happened to the world of the MCU, too: the Snap, the Blip, the invention of time travel, the destruction of the Infinity Stones, the creation of a bunch of alternate timelines....

It’s no secret that tons of movie and TV projects fall through the cracks each year. They’re dropped by studios or networks for one reason or another – lack of funding, a change in production, or just bad luck – and many don’t get to see the light of day. Rarer still is the opportunity for an actor to relive the role they never got to play. However, it looks like one actor might finally see his day in the sun, given the right circumstances....

Prior to its theatrical release, the first Guardians of the Galaxy film was seen as a risk for Marvel Studios. Sporting a production budget of $170 million, the space opera featured a collection of extremely obscure comic book characters that even some die-hard readers were unfamiliar with. It was banking mainly on the Marvel Cinematic Universe name, and fortunately for all involved, Guardians of the Galaxy worked out better than anyone could have anticipated....

Classification of social engineering attacks Social engineering can also be classified in three categories – as direct and indirect, prior-the-attack information gathering and classical attack, and in computer-based or human-based attack, as Susanne Quiel classified it in her Bachelor Thesis entitled “Social Engineering in the Context of Cialdini’s Psychology of Persuasion and Personality Traits”.

Business Insider pointed us to an interview on OpenForum with the Guess? CIO Michael Relich.

Gotham season 5 has finally provided an explanation for the flashforward scene that saw Jim Gordon join forces with Penguin and the Riddler. Returning after a week off air, Gotham continued with “13 Stitches,” an episode that covered plenty of narrative ground; Eduardo Dorrance was transformed into the iconic villain known as Bane, Lee Thompkins made her long-awaited return and Barbara Kean revealed that she’s pregnant with Jim’s Bat-baby. Gotham season 4 concluded by triggering the “No Man’s Land” comic arc, in which Gotham City is isolated from the outside world and criminals run amok within....

American actor, former bodybuilder and mixed martial artist, and retired professional wrestler, David Michael Bautista Jr.’s performance as Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy made him a movie star. His character is a fan-favorite whose crippling inability to detect sarcasm is made up for by deadly skills in hand-to-hand combat (at the exclusion of not knowing what it means to put his finger to someone’s throat) and his warrior’s physicality....

A Reddit AMA with the Half-Life: Alyx team revealed a lot of new information about the game - most notably that it is finished and was made by the single largest development team in Valve history. The new VR-based game isn’t the sequel many fans asked for, but it does provide them with a Half-Life 2 prequel and a new, not-so-silent protagonist. Half-Life games have traditionally featured Gordon Freeman, the silent-but-deadly theoretical physicist who finds himself in the midst of an alien invasion following a lab accident that ripped open a hole to another dimension....

The fact that Half-Life: Alyx is a VR title led many fans to believe that it would be a short game, but the developers have confirmed that the it’s roughly the same length as Half-Life 2. VR games are generally shorter than other titles, which is due to how small the market is in comparison to regular games.

Season five was George O’Malley’s last season on the show....
