One of the best and most unique things about professional wrestling (or “sports entertainment” as the WWE insists we call it) is the way that it blurs the lines between what’s real and what’s not. Fans are a lot more clued in to WWE’s tricks than they were back in the good ol’ days, and so the company has to work that much harder to try and convince us that what we’re seeing has an element of realism to it....

There’s a fascination with this era that gives it a strong power over viewers....

Luke Skywalker is one of the most mysterious people in the galaxy.

Part of what makes Shakespeare’s plays so powerful is their timelessness. They are so timeless, in fact, that they can be set pretty much anywhere, from the middle ages, to space, to (frequently) a high school in the 1990s. This versatility is what makes them so easy to recreate in film: when the classic tales feature different settings and character names, with minor plot changes, they become virtually unrecognizable. So many Shakespearean stories have been altered and repeated so many times throughout cinematic history that it’s easy to forget that they were even pieces of classic literature in the first place....

Ari Aster’s Midsommar is a polarizing horror movie that left a lasting impression on both those who disliked it and those who can’t stop raving about it. The occult theme is very reminiscent of The Wicker Man, and the atmosphere captures a lot of the same terror from Aster’s previous film Hereditary. Nearly all of the film takes place in the broad daylight, and the cinematography is vibrant and stunning at all times, which also helps to make the experience extremely unsettling—especially when the scenes feature some serious nightmare material that audiences aren’t used to seeing so brightly lit....

[vimeo 88901304 w=800 h=500] The popular password manager 1Password has been updated with one of the most-requested features: the ability to edit entries within the browser extension, 1Password mini, rather than having to use the main app. It also promises much better matching of logins to subdomains, so that your stored logins should work more of the time. Previously the app would often fail to recognise subdomains as being part of the same site, so automatic login would not be available when you jumped straight to a particular section of a site, forcing you to login manually then create a new entry....
