God of War’s Director on How *That* Moment Came to Be
It’s no secret that Sony Santa Monica’s God of War for PlayStation 4 is the very definition of a massive hit. It’s garnered glowing reviews across the board, including being called a Masterpiece by IGN. It’s quickly become the fastest selling PS4 exclusive to date. And its phenomenal ending has left us anticipating more.
But none of these were certainties during production. Which is why sitting down and speaking with the game’s creative director Cory Barlog, who came back to the franchise after an extended break, is so fascinating. The trials and tribulations of getting to the God of War that we all played were vast. There were so many risks in removing Kratos from his Greek origins, completely changing the game’s camera and presentation, and hinging the entire thing on the emotional core of a father-son relationship.
Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Ending After Season 4
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is ending after four seasons.
Deadline reports the Netflix comedy series will wrap with Season 4. The first six episodes of the final season will premiere on the streaming service on May 30. The final seven episodes will debut at a later date.
Netflix and producer Universal Television are reportedly in talks to make an Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt movie, which would bring the series to an end. Co-creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock would pen the screenplay.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt made its debut in 2015 and has enjoyed plenty of critical success during its run. It was a Best Comedy nominee for last year's Emmys and in IGN's Season 3 review, we say the series "is as hilarious and weird as ever."
Why Does Thanos’ Chin Look Like That?
Avengers: Infinity War left fans with a lot of burning questions, but perhaps none more important than this - "Why does Thanos have such a funny-looking chin?" Thanos is definitely one of the more unusual-looking villains to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And there's a reason for that. Here's a quick breakdown of why Thanos looks the way he does and why he bears more than a passing resemblance to a certain DC villain.
Thanos is a member of a race called the Eternals, a powerful race of beings who live on Saturn's moon Titan. The Eternals were created by the godlike beings known as Celestials as part of an ongoing cosmic experiment with evolution. Along with the Eternals, the Celestials also created a companion race called Deviants. Where Eternals are generally attractive and peaceful, Deviants are hideous and warlike.
T.J. Miller’s Weasel Won’t Be in X-Force, Confirms Ryan Reynolds
T.J. Miller will not be in X-Force, Ryan Reynolds has confirmed.
Speaking to the New York Times, Reynolds revealed Miller won't appear as Weasel in the ensemble film. Miller was accused of sexual misconduct and abuse last year, which Reynolds declined to comment on.
Earlier this year, Deadpool 2 producer Lauren Shuler Donner said it was too late to drop Miller from the sequel, which opens in theaters on May 15 in the UK, May 16 in Australia, and May 18 in the US.
Arrested Development Season 5 Will Feature Jeffrey Tambor
Jeffrey Tambor will be featured in Arrested Development Season 5.
Entertainment Weekly reports the George Bluth Sr. actor will indeed return for the new season, which wrapped production in November. This is around the same time the actor departed Amazon's Transparent last year over two separate allegations of sexual harassment. Tambor denied the allegations in a statement.
"I've already made clear my deep regret if any action of mine was ever misinterpreted by anyone as being aggressive, but the idea that I would deliberately harass anyone is simply and utterly untrue," Tambor said at the time. "Given the politicized atmosphere that seems to have afflicted our set, I don't see how I can return to Transparent."

Giant Crater Is Completely Filled in by Dedicated Fortnite Fans
A courageous team of 17 Fortnite players fully covered Dusty Divot and the newly added crater to restore the area to its former glory.
The biggest change to Season 4 came when the meteor destroyed Dusty Depot and added a giant crater and Dusty Divot to the map. The goal of this ambitious project was to completely seal in that crater by simply building a flat floor across the huge hole. After assembling a team of 17 players, the group joined a game and started building from the north side. After placing over 2,500 floor segments and making use of over 25,000 resources, the crater was no more.
