Marvel just revealed that they’re planning to re-release Avengers: Endgame in theaters this fall, as part of the build to Avengers: Doomsday. But they are not just putting out the same film we’ve seen before. This cut will supposedly have new footage, including deleted scenes that will supposedly set up the next Avengers sequel. As Endgame and Doomsday director Joe Russo put it in an interview at the recent CinemaCon in Las Vegas: “It’s critically important to re-release the movie … [with] footage that is set in the Doomsday story.”What could be so crucial to Doomsday that Marvel and the Russos need to change Endgame? We think we know. And in our latest Avengers video,…

It goes without saying that staining your teeth is easier than it should be. Between multiple cups of coffee and tea, glasses of red wine, and deep pigmented foods (like berries, beets, and sauces), it can feel like it’s nearly impossible to doge. Sure, you can go to your dentist for professional whitening or other treatments, but if we’re being honest, it’s not always the most affordable option. That’s where whitening strips come in.If you’re skeptical, you might be wondering if dentists actually approve of whitening strips. Short answer: yes (for the most part). “Everyone’s teeth are different and some…

Ever wonder what the gender gap is? No, not the pay gap — the reading gap. How does recreational reading differ from men to women? Well, according to Pew Research Center, there’s a clear winner: Specifically, they found that “[w]omen are more likely than men to say they’ve read a book in the past 12 months. This pattern extends to print and e-books.” Okay, but what about the number of books Americans are reading? (Sorry to our international friends, these stats are US-only.) Well, “38% of U.S. adults say they read one to five books in the past year. 13% read…
Building a giant dam between Russia and Alaska might save a key Atlantic current that is crucial to regulating the climate in northern Europe. However, that massive undertaking presents other risks, researchers explain in a new study.By stretching across the Bering Strait and disconnecting the Pacific Ocean from the Arctic Ocean, this huge geoengineering scheme could buy more time for the threatened conveyor belt of currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), according to the study. However, the study authors and other researchers caution that the effect is variable, the results are preliminary, and further modeling studies are…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write this book? They say, “Write what you know.” I’m originally from Minnesota, and I come from a family of nurses, so that inspired the Minnesota Northwoods setting and Night Nurse Nancy herself. As I developed Nancy’s character, I had so much fun creating a protagonist who was a little older, a little tougher, and a lot more into bedazzling than your average heroine. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of your book, what would they be? Nancy’s theme song would be “Night Nurse” by…
A reconstruction of the giant octopusYohei Utsuki/Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Hokkaido University While dinosaurs ruled the land, Cretaceous oceans were home to a fierce and enormous octopus species that may have reached up to 19 metres in length, rivalling the size of the largest predators of the time, including sharks and marine reptiles like plesiosaurs and mosasaurs. These octopuses were active predators, says Yasuhiro Iba at Hokkaido University in Japan. “They could be thought of as the orcas or great white sharks of the invertebrate world – large, intelligent and highly effective apex predators,” says Iba. “These were…

He previously played at Donald Trump’s Liberty Inaugural…
No one knows how to wear leggings in a chic, rich-looking way quite like L.A. girls. People don leggings in every city, but Angelenos are different, styling them for everything from sweaty workouts to elevated nights out—case in point: Elsa Hosk’s most recent leggings outfit. The model and Helsa founder, who announced that she and her husband Tom Daley are expecting their second child on Instagram on April 9, was recently seen heading into a pilates class in the California metropolis, wearing (shocker) leggings, but not just any leggings. Hosk chose a pair in a particularly luxurious color, skipping more…
Instead, Kamluk saw that it was a self-spreading piece of code with very different intentions. Using what was referred to within the code as “wormlet” functionality, Fast16 is designed to copy itself to other computers on the network via Windows’ network share feature. It checks for a list of security applications, and if none are present, installs the Fast16.sys kernel driver on the target machine.That kernel driver then reads the code of applications as they’re loaded into the computer’s memory, monitoring for a long list of specific patterns—“rules” that allow it to identify when a target application is running. When…

Butler’s Lost Novel, Survivor, is Being Republished Survivor by Octavia E. Butler was originally published in 1978 as the third book in the Patternist series.

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies—tiny satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way—have long been seen as cosmic fossils. Now, a new study published today in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society uses an unprecedented set of simulations to show just how powerfully these faint systems can reflect the conditions of the early universe and tell us why some galaxies grew and others did not.

Steve Wilkie/Syfy The writing duo behind the 2015 Syfy series “12 Monkeys” – based on a 1995 time-travel movie of the same name — did not set out to reimagine the mind-bending Terry Gilliam film. While their previous credits included work on “Star Trek: Enterprise” as well as Fox’s dystopian future series “Terra Nova,” Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett reportedly wound up on the radar of “12 Monkeys” producers thanks to a spec script. Most of the time, spec scripts are written as a way of showing a writer’s voice and ability, rather than with…
1996 may be 30 years ago now, but it’s a time that still looms large in the minds of movie fans. That’s the year that gave us the first Space Jam and the first Mission: Impossible movie. It was the era of Disney’s animated The Hunchback of Notre Dame and their first live-action 101 Dalmatians. It’s the year of “Show me the money!” and “Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!” 1996 turned the Coen brothers into A-list directors, and made Nicolas Cage an action star. (Dr. Stanley Goodspeed, thank you for your service.)But only a tiny fraction of 1996’s movies make up most of our cinematic memories of that year. Look past the…
After a rocky production process, the new Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, is finally here. Originally slated for a 2025 release, the movie was pushed back when attorneys found a clause in a settlement with Jordan Chandler, who in 1993 accused Jackson of sexual abuse and whose ensuing deal with the estate barred any depiction of him in a future film. Upon the discovery, Michael’s original ending, which focused on those allegations, was rewritten and reshot to close on a more triumphant note—a process that cost between $10 million to $15 million.Some of Jackson’s family members along with his most diehard…
