Dakota Fanning’s ‘Vicious’ Fatally Flubs a Killer Premise

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-20 17:45:32

Polly acquires a mysterious box. In this box, she must put three things: something she hates, something she needs, and something she loves. That’s the basic premise of Vicious, the new film from writer-director Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) starring Dakota Fanning, and it’s incredibly alluring. Instantly, it brings to mind a slew of questions. Where did the box come from? How does it work? What happens if you fail to comply? And can a movie actually pay off something so terribly tantalizing? We

Could T-Mobile and other big carriers be heading toward an online-only future?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 15:00:59

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s no secret that customer service has been slowly but surely declining as the big three carriers look to cut costs, but in-store support has arguably taken the sharpest hit. All three carriers have closed at least some of their locations and made moves to reduce their reliance on third-party stores, all while raising sales goals to nearly unachievable levels. The result has been widespread burnout and high turnover. It’s clear that carriers now view retail

‘Shelby Oaks’ Puts a Satisfying, Scary Spin on the Found Footage Genre

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-20 20:15:16

One of the best things about the found footage genre can also be one of its most frustrating. By its very nature, classic found footage movies can never answer all your questions because the camera has to stop. The footage almost always ends with some big, scary revelation, but things can’t go beyond that because….well, the footage had to be found. On one hand, that can make for terrifying moments, and imagination will often be scarier than reality. On the other hand, it would be nice to learn e

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a chatbot earlier this year called R1, which drew a huge amount of attention. Most of it focused on the fact that a relatively small and unknown company said it had built a chatbot that rivaled the performance of those from the world’s most famous AI companies, but using a fraction of the computer power and cost.

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.

Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality.
