Gotham’s Jerome Takes Final Step Toward Being Joker…But is It a Trick?

Not that there's been any real doubt about Cameron Monaghan's Jerome being the un-official Joker for FOX's Gotham, but this past week's episode, "Mandatory Brunch Meeting," pushed the character even closer toward iconic-Joker status.

Yes, on top of having his own face sewn on to his face, the joker card Easter egg from a few weeks ago, this week's "One Bad Day" reference, and many more Joker hallmarks, Jerome acquired his first ever batch of Joker Venom/Joker Gas this week. It's not labeled as Smylex, or anything of that ilk, as of yet, but it has the exact same effects.

The "test subject" Jerome acquired at the end was exposed to the chemicals, burst into a fit of laugher, developed a gruesome grin, and then died. As Gotham's fourth season barrels toward its endgame, Jerome plans to unleash this toxin on the city.

Hayley Atwell on How Her Howards End Character Compares to Peggy Carter

A four-part miniseries based on E. M. Forster's classic novel, Howards End - previously, and famously, adapted into a movie in 1992 featuring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson - premieres on Starz this Sunday, April 8th.

Starring Hayley Atwell and Matthew Macfadyen, Howards End recounts the tale of social conventions, codes of conduct and class relations in turn-of-the-century England, focusing on three families of varied levels of wealth (or lack thereof). Atwell stars as Margaret Schlegel (the character Thompson portrayed in the film), who along with her more impulsive sister Helen (Philippa Coulthard) are living relatively liberated lives in Edwardian London along with their aunt (Tracey Ullman).

Far Cry 5’s PUBG-Inspired Maps Are Mostly Bad

Far Cry 5’s Arcade Mode has become the latest hub for fanmade Battle Royale maps inspired by PUBG and Fortnite, but most of them aren’t quite what you’d expect. Using Far Cry 5’s extensive map editor, players are building everything from their own versions of PUBG’s Erangel island to shoddy lookalikes to some totally fresh and off-the-wall creations.  A quick search for "battle royale" in Arcade Mode's map browser brings up tons of rough drafts, many published just a day or two ago — an indication that this trend is only just getting started.

While some of them are impressive in detail, Far Cry 5 only allows for a handful of custom game modes and Battle Royale is not one of them — meaning the best many fans have been able to do is create the illusion of Battle Royale mechanics. As understandably rough as the current selection is, cool things are still on the horizon, especially if Ubisoft can match the growing community's passion and officially support new game modes.

How Studio Ghibli’s Hidden Mastermind Helped Shape the World of Anime

Isao Takahata, who was one of the founding members of Japan's most prestigious animation company Studio Ghibli, died from lung cancer on April 5. He was 82 years old.

If Studio Ghibli was a rock band, Hayao Miyazaki is the bassist lead singer who gets all the girls. Takahata, on the other hand, was probably on the drums. He is the moon to Miyazaki's sun, the yin to his yang, and the hidden mastermind behind Studio Ghibli. His films were successful but never as successful as the titles Miyazaki made, and he seemed to prefer it that way. Accordingly, he won the kind of reverence and respect that went beyond the realm of anime.
