One Piece fans are waiting for a couple of battles that will change the entire course of the story. These battles will likely take place during the final arc, and when they do, they will be some of the biggest fights in the history of anime. Among these fights, the one that fans are waiting for the most is the Zoro vs. Mihawk rematch.
Roronoa Zoro | Toei Animation
Since the beginning, Zoro has been motivated by a single ambition, which is to become the strongest swordsman in the world. For this, he has to defeat the current strongest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk. The two have fought once during the Baratie arc, and Zoro was easily defeated by Mihawk.
Ever since then, he has been training vigorously and waiting for a rematch that will once again give him a chance to finally achieve the title. While Zoro and the One Piece fans waited,...

The recent episode of the One Piece anime featured an intriguing battle between the Swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, Roronoa Zoro, and the mini version of the Strongest Swordsman in the world, Dracule Mihawk. Toei Animation and Eiichiro Oda blessed the fans with another epic moment of Roronoa Zoro, where he went toe to toe with the Seraphim S-Hawk.

Seraphims are based on the former Warlord of the Sea, and S-Hawk was inspired by Dracule Mihawk with some new modifications that enhance their fighting capabilities. A few episodes ago, fans saw S-Hawk giving a hard time to the Blackbeard Pirates, which in itself speaks for his immense strength and abilities.
However, Zoro was able to easily gain control of the fight because of one power that even the Seraphims do not possess. The power is Haki, and it is one of the main...

A giant brain the size of a Volkswagen! Ancient bog people who explode when they masturbate! Self-effacing jokes about Canada’s place in the world! “Rumours” might abandon the silent film aesthetic that has come to define Guy Maddin’s singular brand of absurdism, but not even the complete absence of exclamatory title cards is enough to suggest that this ridiculous comedy of manners could have — or would have — been made by anybody else.
Reuniting with co-directors Evan and Galen Johnson for their first proper feature since “The Forbidden Room” in 2015, the pride of Winnipeg returns to the big screen with a movie that shakes up his style without sacrificing any of its silliness, a feat made all the more impressive by the caliber of the actors that Maddin and co. have wrangled to carry it.
Still, it’s a good thing that people like Cate Blanchett and Charles Dance...

The latest One Piece episode brought with it a lot of exciting events, but it also may have triggered the fans of the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji. In episode 1105, which was released on May 18, 2024, fans were able to point out a change in one of the scenes from the manga that resulted in Sanji missing out on his epic moment.
Sanji – One Piece | Toei Animation
This led to fans getting angry with Toei Animation for not doing justice to the character of Sanji, and some even claimed that the studio is biased towards Zoro and favors the swordsman between the two. Zoro and Sanji already have a rivalry going on, and fans believe that cutting out scenes like this undermines Sanji’s importance as a character.
Some fans even targeted the One Piece animator Henry Thurlow, who is part of the One Piece anime staff at Toei Animation.

Remember the communiqué from the Rambouillet G7 conference back in 1975? Of course they do. Tramping through a wooded estate somewhere in Germany, pursued by the zombie remains of Iron Age chieftains recently exhumed from the grounds of the nearby stately home, the leaders of the world’s richest democracies recite it by heart. What could be more stirring than a well-rounded public announcement that sounds grand, but doesn’t commit anyone to doing anything? A successful joint statement is a work of art.
These leaders – the chancellor of Germany (Cate Blanchett), the prime ministers of the UK, Japan and Canada, and the presidents of the United States, Italy and France – clearly think they are masters of that art in Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson’s Rumours. Surges of orchestral music as they wave in...

The rivalry between the wings (Zoro and Sanji) of the future Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy, has always been one of the most heated discussions among One Piece fans. While one-half of the fandom is always rooting for Zoro and his achievements, the other half is always pointing out the injustice that has been done to the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, this time the Sanji fans have targeted Toei Animation, the production studio that animates the One Piece anime series, and called them out for butchering a specific scene from the manga that highlights one of Sanji’s moments. The scene takes place during their fight against the Seraphims, and fans are not happy with it.

Justin Lin's 2016 film "Star Trek Beyond" came at a strange juncture in "Star Trek" history. Paramount had two enormously successful "Star Trek" films in 2009 and 2013, both taking the ordinarily talky and contemplative franchise into a quicker, more violent, action-packed direction. Audiences flocked to those movies, both helmed by J.J. Abrams, enjoying the fact that "Star Trek" now more closely resembled "Star Wars." One year before "Beyond" was released, however, the Disney-backed Lucasfilm released "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," the first "Star Wars" theatrical feature film since 2008. "The Force Awakens" was a massive success, and the public's itch for space action was now being satisfyingly scratched. It, too, was helmed by J.J. Abrams.
With real "Star Wars" back in the public eye, audiences no longer needed the supposed "fake 'Star Wars'" action that the new Trek films provided. "Beyond," as a result, was not as massive a hit as its forebears,...

"Star Trek Beyond" might be the best "Mass Effect" movie we ever get. The shiny Yorktown station, with city sprawls built along the surface of spinning, gravity-manipulating rings, is a dead ringer for the Citadel. The film's villain — Krall (Idris Elba) — leads an army of robots, "The Swarm," much like Saren Arterius employing the cyclopean robot Geth in the first "Mass Effect."
Krall's army destroys the Enterprise in the first act of "Beyond," leaving the crew stranded on planet Altamid. Though Krall made his home on this world, he isn't a native. No, he's really Balthazar Edison, once the (human) captain of the Starfleet ship the U.S.S. Franklin. After the Franklin crashed on Altamid in the 22nd century, rescue from the Federation never came and Edison became disillusioned.
He and his surviving crew found abandoned technology, including his Swarm army and the life-draining devices they've sustained himself with.

In a chilling and complex tale of betrayal and murder, CBS’s “48 Hours” investigates the shocking case surrounding the murder of wealthy jewelers Ted and Corey Shaughnessy in Austin, Texas. Tune in on Saturday, January 13, at 10:00 Pm Et/Pt on the CBS Television Network, or stream it on Paramount+ for an exclusive look into “Shootout at the Shaughnessys’.”
At first glance, the crime scene at the Shaughnessy residence on March 2, 2018, appeared to be a random and tragic event. But something didn’t add up, leaving investigators puzzled. As Amy Meredith, a former assistant district attorney, put it, “This was not a stranger killing.”
As detectives delved deeper into the case, their suspicions were confirmed: this was no random attack. Instead, it unraveled into a sinister plot involving the Shaughnessys’ own son, Nicolas, and his wife, Jaclyn Edison, conspiring to have his parents murdered. Text messages exchanged between the couple,...

Fun trivia. In the "Star Trek" movies alone, an iteration of the U.S.S. Enterprise has been destroyed three times. In "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," Kirk (William Shatner) blows up the ship to prevent Klingons from gaining control. In "Star Trek: Generations," the Duras Sisters damage the Enterprise-d so badly, a portion of it needs to crash land on Veridian III. And in "Star Trek Beyond," drones controlled by the resentful Krall (Idris Elba) destroy the Enterprise at the end of the film's first act. That may seem like a lot of "Enterprise" destructions, but it's not as many as in the "Next Generation" episode "Cause and Effect," wherein audiences saw the Enterprise-d explode four times.
It was the destruction in "Star Trek Beyond" that caused some controversy among the filmmakers. Justin Lin, the director of "Better Luck Tomorrow" and five of the "Fast & Furious" movies helmed "Beyond,...

R.L. Stine, the famous novelist, had said that there wouldn’t be so many stories about zombies, undead, and other weird and strange creatures if they didn’t exist. Unfortunately, best friends Amy (Madi Monroe) and Mike (Marlon Kazadi) found out about it the hard way. Amy was a huge movie buff and had been obsessed with zombies and other creatures for as long as she could remember. Mike was just the opposite; he couldn’t stand these made-up stories written just for the sake of scaring children. Little did they know, Mike and Amy would soon unlock a century-old secret that would pin them against their own town. Zombie Town is one horror-comedy film you won’t regret watching.

Spoiler alert: This post contains plot details from the Season 1 finale of “Gen V.”
Antony Starr and Karl Urban — who star on Amazon’s Prime Video drama “The Boys” as Homelander and Billy Butcher, respectively — reprised their roles in the Season 1 finale of “Gen V.” And it turns out they were gracious enough to do it on their “day off” from filming as Homelander assists some fledgling supervillains and Billy ties the Supe virus storyline to “The Boys” Season 4.
“Of course with Homelander, we were always kicking around, ‘When do you want to see him?’ And, ‘When do you want to pull that card?’ Because it’s a rare thing, and we didn’t want to squander it,” “Gen V” showrunner Michele Fazekas told TheWrap of Starr’s cameo. “It had come up throughout the season, and then it just made sense as the sort of thing to happen in the finale.

The publisher describes this graphic novel as a thriller, but I’d put it solidly in noir – that may seem needlessly nitpicky, but if you’re the kind of reader who has strong opinions on the location of the border between mystery and thriller, it may be helpful.
It’s written and drawn by Rina Ayuyang in a soft, mostly blue palette – I am not an expert on art or tools, but it looks like some kind of art crayon or soft pencil to me, with lots of texture and shades of a few colors but relatively muted lines drawn with a quick, energetic hand.
It’s 1929, somewhere in an agricultural field in Northern California. There’s a group of fruit pickers, who seem to be all Filipino. They aren’t exactly mistreated directly, but the larger white society is prejudiced against them, worker protections are scanty to begin with,...

[This story contains spoilers for Loki season two, episode three, “1893.”]
When Loki executive producer Kevin R. Wright began to assemble his creative team for the hit Disney+ series’ second season, he knew that production designer Kasra Farahani was an absolute necessity.
Before crafting the series’ signature look in seasons one and two, Farahani climbed the ranks of Marvel Studios as an art director and a concept artist on various MCU projects such as Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Black Panther. He’d even done some writing and directing in between Marvel gigs, so Wright first invited him to join Eric Martin’s writers’ room as a staff writer. That additional role on the show eventually led to a third assignment as director of season two’s third episode, “1893,” which allowed Farahani to design the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago and introduce this season’s highly anticipated Kang variant, Victor Timely (Jonathan Majors...

Or for that matter, why not 10 or 100?
What’s so special about seeing images 24 times per second?
The short answer: Not much, the film speed standard was a hack.
The longer answer: the entire history of filmmaking technology is a series of hacks, workarounds and duct-taped temporary-fixes that were codified, edified and institutionalized into the concrete of daily practice. Filmmaking is one big last-minute hack, designed to get through the impossibility of a shot list in the fading light of the day.

We’ve previously shared the news that ITN Studios, the company that brought us Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, is working with producer/director Louisa Warren on two fractured fairy tale horror movies: Cinderella’s Curse and Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre. Yesterday, we saw a batch of images from Cinderella’s Curse, and now – thanks to our friends at Bloody Disgusting – we have some images from Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre. You can check them out at the bottom of this article.
Coming our way from ChampDog Films and filming in Scotland, Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre was scripted by Jasmine Ebony Thomas and tells the following story: The beautiful Princess Thalia is thrown to ruins after her father’s mysterious death. She lives with Prince Edison who she is in love with but can no longer marry since losing her status. Queen Velma wants the kingdom for herself and will use her dark powers, and use of the occult,...

Justin Vernon has shared the early iteration of what we know now as Bon Iver’s “Holocene.” Titled “hazelton,” it appears on an upcoming mega box set from his former shortlived band DeYarmond Edison. Stream “hazelton” and its companion track “liner” below.
Originally recorded between June 2005 and May 2006, “hazelton” and “liner” were solo efforts that Vernon old school burned onto CD-Rs for his third solo album, hazeltons. They are some of the oldest recordings to become part of the larger Bon Iver discography, showing how Vernon has been undeniably Vernon since day one. It’s plucky and slightly angsty, with Vernon’s voice a delightful rasp moving up and down the vocal scale.
The DIY album ultimately contributed to DeYarmond Edison’s breakup. The band played their final show no more than a month after its release, with Bon Iver and Megafaun (the band that brothers Brad and Phil Cook...

The WNBA hopes to find new bounce when it starts a line-up of Friday-night games on the broadcast network Ion.
The pact is part of a new deal struck between E.W. Scripps, which purchased Ion in 2020 for $2.65 billion and brings live sports to the outlet for the first time since it launched in 1998 as Pax TV, then under the aegis of Paxson Communications. And it suggests a new model for sports leagues hoping to navigate an era in which the traditional sports model — reaching fans via national and regional cable — is facing challenges.
The deal will give the WNBA more audience reach, with an “appointment viewing” event each Friday, says Colie Edison, the WNBA’s chief growth officer, in an interview. The league’s games are telecast by Disney’s ESPN and ABC, and Paramount Global’s CBS Sports, but those companies have rights deals with other, bigger leagues...

Many things have influenced Paul McCartney‘s songs over the years. Sometimes a single tune had multiple inspirations, including The Beatles‘ “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.” Here are all the references in the Abbey Road song.
The Beatles’ Paul McCartney | McCarthy/Getty Images Alfred Jarry inspired Paul McCartney to write an obscure lyric in The Beatles’ ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’
In his book The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul explained that while he was driving down the highway one day, he heard a broadcast of Ubu Cocu on BBC Radio 3.
Ubu Cocu is one of three plays, including the better-known Ubu Roi, by the French dramatist Alfred Jarry. It’s subtitled “a pataphysical extravaganza.” Paul said “pataphysical” is a word Jarry made up to “poke fun at toffee-nosed academics.”
Paul liked the word and decided to add it to The Beatles’ “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.” He was thrilled when he could rhyme “quizzical” with “pataphysical.

Ubu Cocu is one of three plays, including the better-known Ubu Roi, by the French dramatist Alfred Jarry. It’s subtitled “a pataphysical extravaganza.” Paul said “pataphysical” is a word Jarry made up to “poke fun at toffee-nosed academics.”
Paul liked the word and decided to add it to The Beatles’ “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.” He was thrilled when he could rhyme “quizzical” with “pataphysical.
