Walt Disney Pictures Animation has shelved plans to make Gigantic, an update of the time-honored Jack and the Beanstalk tale. Without question, Disney has been the gold standard in animation since the release of its first full-length feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. Dominating the hand-drawn animation genre for decades after that, the studio quickly adapted to computer animation following the groundbreaking debut of Pixar’s Toy Story in 1994, a film that Disney distributed at the time and company it became permanent partners with after it purchased the animation studio in 2006....
With Scout, there’s probably an integration available for the proprietary equipment it lacks – and this is by design. According to Daniel Roberts, CEO and founder of Scout, the DIY market is moving from the early-adopter, more tech-savvy population to the masses. And even though major players are technically competing against each other on some level, Roberts says they’re better positioned for the consumer if they work together. “At the end of the day, we want to provide that core security experience, and if there’s anything – whether it be a voice or video product to augment or enhance that – we want to make that available,” said Roberts....

Pararibulitis is a nerve condition that affects some of the main characters on TV series Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency but is it a real disease? Dirk Gently is based on the 1987 novel by acclaimed author Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy). The book follows the title “holistic detective” who believes in the principle of quantum mechanics and that everything in the universe is interconnected, and uses that to solve crimes instead of looking for actual clues....
After Avengers: Endgame, it may be a long time before we see a similar team up on the big screen - but Disney+ is assembling members of a different Avengers lineup. Based on the direction Marvel is headed with its Disney+ shows, Marvel could be building toward a West Coast Avengers TV series, which would be a positive step forward for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios is all-in on Disney’s upcoming streaming service....
At the 89th annual Academy Awards, Disney once again emerged triumphant in the Best Animated Feature category, winning for Zootopia; the tale of anthropomorphic animals learning to live and interact together despite their many differences. Disney also had another movie in the running; Moana, while the rest of the competition in the category came from My Life as a Zucchini, The Red Turtle, and the highly acclaimed Kubo and the Two Strings....
The Division 2 has been out for some time now, and the state of the title’s endgame has been a delight to experience. Now, the first upcoming patch for Ubisoft’s looter shooter is going to drop on April 5. Alongside a new stronghold and the latest endgame difficulty, the Division 2 patch changes are also going to tweak how skill and weapon mods work.

Disco Elysium is an exquisitely-written RPG of external and internal turmoil, political unrest, and self-destruction, packaged into a detective noir. The detective takes another drink to tune out the incessant noises of his past. His Shivers skill allows him to listen to the wind, that truest documentarian of the streets of Martinaise, as it jostles through war-pocked stonework taking garrulous notes. He woke up in the city with no knowledge of who he was or how he arrived; getting dressed and facing the public requires herculean effort....
Disney has reset the Star Wars timeline around the sequel trilogy. Every event in Star Wars history has traditionally been related to the Battle of Yavin 4, which took place in the first Star Wars movie. Thus Star Wars: The Force Awakens is dated 34 ABY (After Battle of Yavin). Of course, the in-universe calendar is different - but, amusingly, it’s still linked to the Battle of Yavin 4, just in a more esoteric way....

UPDATE: Disney’s purchase of Fox has been made official. The original article follows. While the idea of Disney purchasing 20th Century Fox once seemed like a dream that would allow the X-Men to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the prospect now appears to be an inevitability. And while there are many different concerns over what the future will hold for both companies if the deal goes through, one seems to be at the forefront for many fans: the Deadpool franchise as we know it is over....
First published way, way back in 1870, Jules Verne’s aquatic adventure novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea has proven to possess massive staying power, being discovered anew by each successive generation of readers. Similarly, the book has long been a popular target for screen adaptations, with the first dating back to the earliest days of silent cinema. Perhaps the most well-known 20,000 Leagues movie came in 1954, fronted by Hollywood legends Kirk Douglas and James Mason and produced by Walt Disney himself....
A new Quentin Tarantino project is reportedly in the works, a Django/Zorro movie that would serve as a sequel to Django Unchained. Released in 2012 to great acclaim, Django Unchained was Tarantino’s first foray into the western genre, and starred Jamie Foxx as the titular gunslinger. The film proved to be incredibly popular as it became (and still is) his highest-grossing directorial effort, and won multiple Oscars. Even with all this success, Tarantino moved on to direct The Hateful Eight, and will see his ninth film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood hit theaters this summer....

It is a method that is used when a dedicated channel or circuit needs to be established. A channel used in circuit switching is kept reserved and applied only when the two users need to communicate. Circuit switching connections are classified into two categories half-duplex or full-duplex....
There are less than two months left until Doctor Strange hits theaters and introduces moviegoers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Sorcerer Supreme. The movie will also introduce magic into the MCU for the first time and expand that universe into a multiverse, opening up whole new realms of possibility for storytelling. Marvel’s marketing team seems to be putting a great deal of effort into setting audience expectations for the movie ahead of time, offering a prelude comic to explain some of its magic elements and releasing several promotional featurettes to lay out key plot and character details and prepare audiences for the “mind trip action film” that they are promising Doctor Strange will be....
