Want to Watch ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’? Go to a Theater, Crunchyroll Says

As is tradition, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, the first in a trilogy of anime films marking the conclusion of the megapopular anime, is in theaters and performing well at the box office. However, the question on every anime fan’s lips is when they should expect to see the film pop up on streaming platforms. A Crunchyroll executive’s sentiment on the matter should encourage fans to get their fix in theaters, as it won’t be coming to the orange streamer anytime soon. Speaking with Popverse, Mit

No, That Wasn’t an X-Men Reference in ‘Him’

Of all the sports, football clearly lends itself best to horror. It’s a violent battle and requires players to do things to their bodies that no person would normally do. That’s why those players get paid so much, which then opens up a whole other can of worms. Those points may seem like obvious ways to evoke the horror genre, but it’s not something that happens very often. A horror sports movie? It’s unique. Him, the new film from director Justin Tipping and producer Jordan Peele, embraces all

Safepoints and Fil-C

Safepoints and Fil-C Safepointing is an underappreciated aspect of modern multithreaded VM/GC tech. It forms the foundation of Fil-C's accurate stack scanning, safe signal handling, and safe forking. It also forms the foundation of accurate GC, debugging, and profiling in modern lots of other virtual machines (JVMs in particular). Perhaps most crucially: Safepointing is the reason why multiple threads can race on the heap in Fil-C using non-atomic unordered instructions, under any widely used

Your Google TV home screen might finally be about to get a long-overdue refresh

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google TV is testing a refreshed home screen layout with new navigation bubbles. The redesign renames “For You” as “Home” and adds more shortcuts to the profile menu. Only a small number of devices seem to have the update so far. Google TV hasn’t been having the best luck in the crowded smart TV market recently. With relatively low adoption in the US and advertisers favoring YouTube instead, Google seems to be rethinking parts of the TV platform, sta

Apple TV+ might have its next big blockbuster movie lined up

Apple TV+ has a strong lineup of fall film debuts on the way, but a new report indicates the streamer is about to land one of its biggest movies yet: a new Martin Scorsese film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence starring. Martin Scorsese’s next film, What Happens at Night, will star Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio After years of mixed successes and failures, Apple seems to be finally hitting its stride with original movies. This fall alone, Apple TV+ has already premiered th

Him is a grueling and messy takedown of American football culture

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. There is a certain degree of body horror baked into American football that becomes readily apparent whenever players sustain gruesome, career-ending injuries on camera. For some, football’s overt violence is part of its appeal, and players are seen as people who have chosen to risk their safety in pursuit of fame and glory. Over the y

Why I ‘upgraded’ to a film camera that’s older than I am

Fall Upgrade Week feels like an odd time to celebrate my move to a 50-year-old film camera, but there’s logic to it: not because film photos are timeless, or because I want to wax lyrical about warmth and grain and analog appeal, but because I don’t think there’s any better way to teach yourself about photography. That’s how I got into film. At some point over the last decade, reviewing phones morphed more or less into reviewing cameras with touchscreens on the back. For a writer with no photog

4 apps you should use instead of Google Docs

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority While Google Docs is an excellent tool in its own right, it has a few issues that can be hard to overlook. After using it daily for years, I grew frustrated with its file management system — or rather, its lack thereof. The inability to sort documents into folders within the app left me with a long, unorganized list of files, hindering my productivity. Eventually, I decided to explore other options. I’ve tested a bunch of Google Docs alternatives, and in thi

An Odd Trio of ‘Halloween’ Movies Is Returning to Theaters

The latest movies to come back to theaters are the Halloween franchise, which makes sense since it’s spooky season. But instead of just the original film or the more recent trilogy, we’re getting three installments that’ve been surprisingly grouped together. Along with the original 1978 Halloween, both Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers are also coming back to the big screen. The trio’s cinematic return comes courtesy of Trancas International

The 44 Best Movies on Hulu This Week (September 2025)

In 2017, Hulu made television history by becoming the first streaming network to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, thanks to the phenomenon that was The Handmaid’s Tale. While Netflix has largely cornered the streaming market on original movies—and even managed to persuade A-listers like Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, and Martin Scorsese to come aboard—Hulu is starting to find its footing in features too, securing the exclusive rights to a large number of Oscar-nominated mov

44 of the Best Movies on Netflix You Should Stream Right Now

In the 10 years since releasing its first original film, Beasts of No Nation, Netflix has evolved into a power player in the movie scene. It's earned honors at award shows including the Oscars, Golden Globes and Emmys. The streaming giant won three Oscars in 2025, and action-thriller Rebel Ridge just nabbed an Emmy Award this week for Best TV Movie (the sentimental Vince Vaughn comedy Nonnas was nominated in the same category and is worth a watch, too). Popular films like KPop Demon Hunters, wh

‘Him’ Is Filled With Great, Creepy Ideas, But Never Quite Brings It All Home

Usually, there are sports movies and there are horror movies, and the two don’t really cross over. In Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask, but he doesn’t take a slap shot. A killer might swing a baseball bat, but they aren’t stepping up to the plate. Him, the new film from Justin Tipping, is one of the first, and maybe biggest, films to ever blend horror and sports, which, just for that, is worth being excited about. The film uses the violence of football, as well as the hero wor

A new Megalopolis documentary reveals why it turned out like that

It’s been almost exactly a year since I first saw Megalopolis, and the last 12 months haven’t been kind to Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic. It mostly bewildered critics and audiences, earned back just a fraction of its $120 million budget, and still isn’t easily accessible via streaming or a Blu-ray release. Megalopolis is a film that the Godfather director had been thinking about for decades before the cameras started rolling, and that post-release chaos is nothing compared to what a

CNET Editors Tested Camping Gear All Summer: Here Are Our Favorite Gadgets

Why I like it: The Grayl GeoPress is among my best outdoor gear purchases. I feel confident drinking water from lakes, rivers and even the sketchiest of sources with this filtered water bottle -- and that's saying something, because I nearly bit the dust by acquiring three strains of E. Coli from contaminated water at one point (before I knew about Grayl). It efficiently removes waterborne pathogens, including 99.9999% of bacteria, viruses and protozoa, and filters particulates like silt, micro

Infinite Mac: Resource Fork Roundtripping

One of the frequent emails that I get about Infinite Mac is “I’ve been copying over these files to every mac I’ve owned for the past 20 (or 30 or 40) years, how can I load them into your site?” While there’s been a “The Outside World” drive from the very beginning, all it can do is a best-effort import/export using available browser APIs. Classic Mac OS used resource forks for structured data and stored additional metadata in the file system (where it belongs). Modern macOS still supports all of

Trailer for Anaconda meta-reboot leans into the laughs

Sony Pictures has dropped a trailer for its upcoming horror comedy, Anaconda, a meta-reboot of the 1997 campy cult classic—and frankly, it looks like a lot of fun. Starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black, the film will arrive in theaters on Christmas Day. (Spoilers for the 1997 film below.) The original Anaconda was your basic B-movie creature feature, only with an all-star cast and better production values. The plot revolved around a documentary film crew (Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz, Jon

From ClickFix to MetaStealer: Dissecting Evolving Threat Actor Techniques

By John Hammond, Alden Schmidt, Lindsey Welch During the past fifteen business days, Huntress analysts have observed increased threat activity involving several notable techniques. One case involved a malicious AnyDesk installer, which initially mimicked a standard ClickFix attack through a fake Cloudflare verification page but then utilized Windows File Explorer and an MSI package masked as a PDF to deploy MetaStealer malware. Additionally, two incidents involving the Cephalus ransomware vari

‘Chain Reactions’ Deftly Contextualizes a Grisly American Classic

As Hollywood scraps over who’ll be the next to take a bite out of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a new documentary is here to remind us just how much Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original stands alone. Chain Reactions follows the elegant, thoughtful style of director Alexandre O. Philippe’s earlier film-centric docs, including 78/52 (about the shower scene in Psycho), Memory: The Origins of Alien, Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist, and Lynch/Oz. Five talking heads and carefully chosen footage

Cybersecurity provider Netskope boosts IPO range as it tests tech hotstreak

Sanjay Beri, chief executive officer and founder of Netskope Inc., listens during a Bloomberg West television interview in San Francisco, California. Netskope is targeting a $7.3 billion valuation in its upcoming initial public offering, after lifting its planned price range. The cybersecurity company said it plans to sell 47.8 million shares at between $17 and $19 apiece. The deal would raise as much as $908 million at the top end. That's up from a previous range of $15 to $17 a share the co

The Japanese landscapes that inspired Studio Ghibli films

As Studio Ghibli turns 40, we visit the forests, springs and villages that inspired its most beloved films, and meet those preserving their magic. From moss-draped cedar forests to steamy bathhouses and suburban woodlands, the animated worlds of Studio Ghibli often feel fantastical yet familiar. Across 23 feature films, the Japanese studio's vividly drawn landscapes – where kurosuke (soot sprites) scuttle and giant cat-buses roam – have transported generations of viewers into realms where natur

New FileFix attack uses steganography to drop StealC malware

A newly discovered FileFix social engineering attack impersonates Meta account suspension warnings to trick users into unknowingly installing the StealC infostealer malware. FileFix is a new variant of the ClickFix family of attacks, which uses social engineering attacks to trick users into pasting malicious commands into operating system dialog boxes as supposed "fixes" for problems. The FileFix technique was created by red team researcher mr.d0x, and instead of convincing users into pasting

The Animated Origins of ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ Will Hit Theaters This Spooky Season in a New 4K Remaster

After finally hitting the big screen for everyone for the first time a few years ago, Trick r’ Treat will be back in theaters October 14 and 16. According to a press release from Fathom Entertainment, the horror flick will get a 4K restoration and a little bonus in the form of a 4K restoration for director Mike Dougherty’s Season’s Greetings short. The 1996 video is an origin for the final film and will be part of a look back by Dougherty through several Halloween-specific memories that led to

To me, my spoilers! Clayface In response to a fan on Threads (via Comic Book), James Gunn stated the decision to decorate the set of Clayface with stickers, graffiti, and fliers referencing Robert Pattinson’s Batman movie “never came across [his] desk” and was likely done over his head. Although the trash

Readers still love this legendary Files by Google alternative, but why?

Andy Walker / Android Authority In a recent article I wrote about alternatives to Files by Google, several users mentioned a name I hadn’t heard in ages: Total Commander. Launched back in 2012, the app still has a strong following on Android, even though I remember it best as my preferred Windows file manager back in the day. You all intrigued me, so I installed it on my main phone and started using it as my primary file manager. But is it any good compared to the many alternatives available? I

Grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that will decompose

A new study from South Dakota State University reveals how grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that is stronger than traditional plastic and will decompose in the environment in a relatively short amount of time. The need for biodegradable packaging material has never been higher. Currently, most packaging is "single use" and is made with plastic materials, derived from nonrenewable sources like crude oil that take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment. On t
