While ConcernedApe, or Eric Barone if you fancy, works on crafting the perfecting chocolate-y dream for Haunted Chocolatier, he is still putting out major updates for Stardew Valley. Say what you will, but we think having multiple pets in the new update is like a messiah answering our prayers. Yes, crossplay is still a ways away, but Barone is a one-man army.
Concerned Ape’s next outing, Haunted Chocolatier | hauntedchocolatier.net
And being a solo developer, whose IP took off faster than a Cybertruck, it’s only natural Ape would be protective over his creation. So, if Stardew Valley were to get a movie adaptation, he’s very clear on who can craft the lore-loaded world of his game. Naturally, the vibes of Studio Ghibli fit like a glove— Though Ape’s second choice might surprise some.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — except on subscription streaming, where you still can’t find classic Rankin/Bass holiday specials like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
“Rudolph,” the 1964 Animagic stop-motion TV special was produced by Videocraft International — later renamed Rankin/Bass — for broadcast network NBC and sponsor General Electric. Five years later, Rankin/Bass Productions, now actually named Rankin/Bass Productions after Videocraft founders Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, made the animated “Frosty the Snowman” special for broadcast network CBS.
In 1972 “Rudolph” joined “Frosty” at CBS, where they have remained for more than 50 years. In recent times, “Rudolph” and “Frosty” have also been a part of the Disney-owned cable channel Freeform’s “25 Days of Christmas” marathons. Though they run simultaneously, broadcast and cable are contractually considered different “windows” here, several sources with knowledge of the deals told IndieWire. The Rankin/Bass specials are also available on DVD and Blu-ray.

How does the Arri Alexa 35 perform against the Sony FX6? Well, it’s not a real match, just a fun comparison made by Linus from ShortCircuit. That’s a cool piece for those who are not familiar with the Arri Camera System. Read on.
The ShortCircuit team with the Arri camera system Taking the Arri 35 for a spin
As stated by Linus from ShortCircuit: “We’ve used quite a few different camera systems for our production here at Lmg and we ended up settling on Sony FX6 cameras to power the videos you watch, but when Arri offered to send us their new Alexa 35 camera to check out, David tried his best to convince Linus that we should switch to what the big boys use”. So these guys have tried the Arri 35 against their Sony FX6 just for the fun… Guess which won? Btw, We were hoping they would disassemble...

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot points, including the ending for “Saltburn.”
In the final moments of Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn,” Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s 2001 song, “Murder on the Dancefloor” pumps out over the speakers, while Barry Keoghan’s Oliver dances stark naked through a grand estate house in the British countryside. “Everything is diabolical, but it’s exhilarating,” Fennell explained. “It’s post-coital, euphoric, solitary and it’s mad.”
Cinematographer Linus Sandgren said the scene is about Oliver feeling as if he owns the place. In capturing it, Fennell used 11 takes before she got the right take from Keoghan. “They were all very beautiful,” she said. “It’s quite a complicated and technical camera. A lot of the time, he was immensely patient because there was a lot of naked dancing. Take #7 was technically perfect. You could hear everyone’s overjoyed response, but I had to say ‘sorry’ because...

"The greatest locomotive around! Linus, our hero!" This wonderful animated short film is now available to view online after a successful film festival run earlier this year. Give it a watch! The Brave Locomotive is a delightful 7-minute animated short created by the animation filmmaker Andrew Chesworth, who has worked on Disney & Netflix movies. Produced and developed entirely on his own as a fun little side project, it's now qualified for Academy Awards consideration in 2024 after winning Best Animation at L.A. Shorts Film Festival. It's an animated tale of an old locomotive train in the early days of America's expansion - an "Old West musical tale with 1940s flair." Featuring the singers known as The Dollys performing the songs - Kari Shaw Akers, Andra Suchy, and Morgana Hasil. With Drew Jansen as The Railroad Baron. This short is so playful and authentic and heartfelt and amusing. I love all...

The great irony of Halloween is that in subjecting ourselves to scares of the kitschy seasonal-grocery-aisle variety, we somehow inoculate ourselves, for a moment, the Irl horrors that so consistently plague us each day online in the news each day. But horror movies and other October-end entertainments aren’t necessarily always simply a distraction. Just as often they’re an honest expression of universal human anxieties, dressed up in a foul-smelling rubber mask from the ad-hoc aisles of your local Spirit Halloween retail outlet.
Why we love it: October is the ideal and most obvious time to revisit Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Though each Halloween episode of the series is wonderful in its own way (shout-out to sexy-ghost Willow), it’s “Fear, Itself” that I still watch every year. The Scooby Gang finds themselves trapped inside a fraternity house of horrors, as fear demon “Gachnar” exploits their deepest anxieties I...

The holiday sequence of animated Charlie Brown films spans Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. However, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown differs as it contains one storyline secret, which turned this animated movie into a timeless classic. What is the one universal theme that runs through the film?
The storyline secret of ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ centers on one universal message
The storyline of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown appears basic enough. A child believes that a fictional character called The Great Pumpkin appears out of the pumpkin patch and delivers toys to children.
Linus Van Pelt is the central character in the story. He believes that The Great Pumpkin is similar to Santa Claus.
Hopefully, Linus sits in his neighborhood pumpkin patch, forgoing trick or treating with his friends and waiting for The Great Pumpkin to appear. Linus’ friends poke fun at him, and only one stays back,...

This week’s “Survivor 43” sneak peek video begins with Owen Knight returning to camp after Noelle Lambert‘s blindside, and he’s not a happy camper. After throwing his bag down onto the sand, he states in a private confessional, “This is not fun. This is terrible.” Owen then cackles wildly as he appears to spiral downward, sighing, “It’s like getting comical at this point.” Watch the video above.
Noelle is just the latest person he’d been close to on the island that ended up going home, and he was once again kept out of the loop by the other tribe members. “I keep finding myself as the closest person to the person who’s getting blindsided,” Owen notes, “and it’s depressing realizing that I’ve just been outfoxed for like the nine billionth time.”
