We have rebellion against the Capitol! We have heartrending separations! We have more amazing facial hair and audacious fashion choices! Regardless,The Hunger Gamesis a mega-franchise that has broken through the billion dollar ceiling. Success like this doesnt just happen in a bubble and occur without any wider consequence. Concentrating specifically on Katniss, its undoubtedly the case that Lawrence is the iconic figurehead ofThe Hunger Gamesseries. (Answer: yes.) Thats my own personal gripe though....

The Oscar-winning composer talks traveling the cosmos with Christopher Nolan for Interstellar. Ad content continues below Hans Zimmer:Was it unexpected?

A lot of people I just dont think realize what it was. This is the fifth time you and Christopher Nolan have worked together....

In the past few years, a succession of developers have proved that it can. The fox can jump further, run faster, and scurry up to hard-to-reach platforms. And that design and atmosphere really is top-notch. What at first looks like a repetitive hinterland of ice and snow gradually reveals itself as somewhere magical. There are underground caves full of strange, diminutive beings. There are friendly tree spirits who creak and groan as they form a path through a frozen forest....

Back then, the ground represented a dangerous unknownwould its radiation-blasted surface nurture or kill humanitys only survivors? This list of warring factions continues to grow, too. And within each of these groups there is internal strife and naked grabs for power. In other words, were no better off than we were before the bombs felland thats not very encouraging....

Robert Wise directed The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Andromeda Strain and the first Star Trek film. Ryan takes a look back… Stanley Kubrick, perhaps, or George Lucas, or James Cameron. To that list you could also add Paul Verhoeven, Andrei Tarkovsky or the mischievously creative Terry Gilliam. One name that doesnt necessarily get brought up all that much in sci-fi conversations is Robert Wise. The Day The Earth Stood Stillwas remade in 2008, and starred Keanu Reeves....

Due to this mentality, interesting concepts likeSawandParanormal Activityget run into the ground. Not to give away the ending, but itll change how you look at genitals, for sure. Finally, in what comes off as a more mainstream entry, theres Bonestorm. We follow a bunch of asshole teens trying to make a flashy skate video. Its worth mentioning that the best line of the film, Do crackheads have fire blood? comes out of this entry too....

Created by Will Crowther, this was a text-based adventure set in a real life cave formation. The foundation of the RPG was laid during this time. Now you really were in the thick of it, seeing all of the action through your own eyes. The result was incredible, and it quickly became a bit hit.

The Blu-ray event kicked off with a 40-minute preview of the bonus content. Here are the highlights: OnGuardiansexceeding his wildest expectations:It didnt exceed my wildest expectations. And we started getting our first weekend numbers and it kept getting higher every day. At first its like, Oh my God, were gonna be near 80. Then were gonna be 85. And then we ended up at, you know, 94. It felt like aTwilight Zoneepisode....

Often imitated but never duplicated, US sitcom Seinfeld left behind an enduring comic legacy… This is funny,Seinfeldproved to be undeniably influential. In style, content and attitude,Seinfeldblazed a trail for contemporary comedy. The shows nit-picking focus on triviality popularised the existing genre of whats the deal with? observational comedy, while its approach to taboo subjects on web connection TV broadened mainstream comedys remit by miles.

Wrestling can be strange, but sometimes the games can go even further. Join us for instances of time travel, mental breakdowns, and Kwang. It really, really is. Two men once wrestled over the rights to having the letter T in their name. Lots of strange stuff. On paper, wrestling video games should be side-stepping anything overly strange.
