When police and firefighters arrived at the scene they were ambushed by a group of about 30 aggressive youths.

‘I (won’t) be back’: Why is the latest ‘Terminator’ such a flop?

Uncategorized

‘I (won’t) be back’: Why is the latest ‘Terminator’ such a flop? Far from a return to form, ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ has flopped at the box office. Was the movie’s failure the result of misogyny, or indifference toward a Hollywood that doesn’t know when to put an old dog down? Billed as a worthy successor to 1991’s universally-loved ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’, ‘Dark Fate’ had a big pair of cyborg boots to fill. After a slew of uninspiring sequels, the return of series creator James Cameron as producer was seen as a good omen, and critics scored the flick higher than any entry since 2003’s ‘Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines’. But demand for the film was not as great as expected. ‘Dark Fate’ pulled in only $29 million on its opening weekend in the U...

Go green to the extreme! Japan rolls out eco-friendly supercar made from WOOD at Tokyo Motor Show (VIDEO) Japan’s Environment Ministry showed off a one-of-a-kind supercar made from cellulose and agricultural waste. While it is relatively light, it is still able to punch above its weight when it comes to strength and durability. Called the Nano Cellulose Vehicle (NCV), the car made a spectacular appearance at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show. Its design is so aggressive and futuristic that you might not guess that it’s made of a plant-derived material. The Environment Ministry says most of the hull, such as roof, doors, and hood involves the use of cellulose nanofiber (CNF), a substance that contains agricultural waste. This material apparently leaves a ...

The 80-year-old gave his blunt assessment while speaking to the Press Association, insisting that he has become emotionally “withdrawn” and is treating the whole British debacle as a game of chess – suggesting that MPs are somewhat clueless. ...all I can say is they [lawmakers] are wretched players and don’t know a pawn from a queen. An exasperated McKellen holds out little hope that MPs will be able to sort out the Brexit mess any time soon, claiming “when I’m long dead the...
