Ariana Grande‘s new album Eternal Sunshine is clearly a breakup album and fans think that she might be accusing her ex-husband Dalton Gomez of cheating.
The album is partially inspired by the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the music video for “We Can’t Be Friends” mimics a scene from the film. In the video, Ari seemingly attempts to erase her ex from her memory.
The lyrics for the song “Eternal Sunshine” have fans thinking that Dalton might have cheated.

“I’ve never seen someone lie like you do / So much, even you start to think it’s true / So now we play our separate scenes / Now, now she’s in my bed, mm-mm, layin’ on your chest / Now I’m in my head, wonderin’ how it ends,” Ariana sings in the first verse.

Ariana Grande’s seventh album begins with a question she spends the rest of the album trying to answer: “How can I tell if I’m in the right relationship?” Five years ago, on her landmark album on Thank U, Next, it seemed certain that she would have that question figured out by now; in the bridge of that album’s title track, she sang about hoping that when she would eventually walk down the aisle it would be her first and last time.

Plot: A deep dive into all the great movies that came out in 1982.
Review: Everyone has their own take on the greatest year ever for cinema. Scholars tend to cite 1939, as that’s the year Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Gunga Din, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and several other seminal classics came out. Modern film fans tend to cite 1999, thanks to The Matrix, Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Magnolia and many more. I’d make a strong case for 2007 myself, with Into the Wild, The Assassination of Jesse James, Gone Baby Gone, Zodiac, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and others. But, if you’re a movie geek, one year stands above them all, and it’s 1982.
Think about it. E.T., The Thing, Star Trek II, Rocky III, Poltergeist, Blade Runner, the list goes on and on. And now, 1982 is getting a...

With Season 3 of The Mandalorian premiering on Disney+, Google has added a cool new Easter egg that celebrates Grogu, aka Baby Yoda. Google often adds Easter eggs to its products and services, including Search. In January, the company released an Easter egg for HBO's acclaimed apocalyptic series The Last of Us, unleashing a deadly fungus on Search results. Many of Google's other Easter eggs are also based on popular movies and video games, like the 'Thanos Snap' for Marvel's Avengers fans and the Sonic the Hedgehog Easter egg to mark the release of the movie in 2020.
The Mandalorian Easter egg involves Grogu destroying all search results one by one using the Force. The effect is available on browser-based Google searches on all major desktop and mobile platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.

‘The Matrix Reloaded’ (Photo credit: Warner Bros).
Twenty years after the Wachowski siblings’ The Matrix burst onto the world, Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Pictures are reloading the franchise.
Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will reprise their roles as Neo and Trinity in the untitled film which will be directed and co-written by Lana Wachowski.
Warner Bros Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich made the announcement today. Lana Wachowski is producing with Grant Hill and co-writing with Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell.
“We could not be more excited to be re-entering The Matrix with Lana,” said Emmerich. “Lana is a true visionary—a singular and original creative filmmaker—and we are thrilled that she is writing, directing and producing this new chapter in The Matrix universe.”
The three previous editions co-created with Lilly Wachowski — The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003)— grossed more than $1.6 billion worldwide.

Watch this great vintage 1982 commercial for Atari, which will remind you of how far we’ve truly come in video game technology in the past 37 years. It’s pretty amazing.
The commercial is called “We Have The Vision” and focuses on how they were leading the charge in the technology that brought video games into our homes.
I had an Atari in the 80s. A friend gave it to us when they were moving. That also gave us a bunch of games to play! I loved playing that thing. I played it until it stopped working and by that time we had a Sega Genesis in the house.
I have a lot of fond memories of that thing and it’s funny to be reminded of how that old school gaming tech was marketed to people.

The teams behind Wasteland 3 and The Outer Worlds tried to make Baldur's Gate 3.
We were all surprised to learn that Divinity: Original Sin developer Larian Studios is working on Baldur's Gate 3, but it turns out that they weren't the first studio to chase the rights to make the surprising sequel to the former BioWare franchise.
"I love that title," says inXile CEO Brian Fargo in an interview with IGN. "You know, both me and [Obsidian CEO] Feargus [Urquhart] were chasing that for years. [Larian CEO] Swen [Vincke] too. All of us, for a decade."
That's quite the interesting bit of history to share. For those who don't know, inXile is the studio responsible for the brilliant Wasteland 2 while Obsidian is best known for their work on Fallout: New Vegas and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2.

The 25 most important PC games of all time defined our childhoods, remain incredible, and changed everything.
This article is part 1 in our new History of PC Gaming series.
No matter your platform of preference, it's impossible to deny that the PC has always been a leading force in the evolution of gaming. While Atari and arcade machines were providing simple pleasures, PC developers were busy designing adventures that pushed the limits of the technology of the day. While the N64 and PlayStation were toying with 3D technology, PC developers were pioneering the online frontier. Today, studios both big and small are looking at the next frontier of PC gaming: playing on the cloud.

In his first collaboration with Wes Anderson on Isle of Dogs, Paul Harrod translated an auteur’s live-action style to stop-motion, a medium that allowed for a spectacular visual presentation, but came with a set of limitations that proved problematic. Gathering reference materials and establishing certain visual parameters early on was Adam Stockhausen, an Oscar-winning production designer who has been the auteur’s go-to craftsman since Moonrise Kingdom, and had to leave the production early on, heading into the Vr world of Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One.
Picking up the baton, co-production designer Harrod brought 30 years of stop-motion experience to Anderson’s set, realizing early on that this production would challenge him like no other. Set in a specific vision of Japan—caught between past, present and future— the film would follow Atari, a young boy who goes on an odyssey in search of his lost dog. “Wes likes everything to be in focus,...

It’s fair to say that right now, in videogaming, retro is king. Old franchises have been resurrected and/or remastered; new games chosing to 8-bit look; “mini classic” consoles aplenty… and, of course, video game compilation releases by the bucketload. But we’ve had re-release after re-release of the likes of Atari games, Sega Megadrive games, Capcom Collections, Snk games etc., so what makes the brand-new Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle so special?
Well as a beat ‘em-up fan it not only contains the obvious choice of Final Fight (1989) and Captain Commando (1991) but lesser-seen titles like The King of Dragons (1991), Knights of the Round (1991) and Warriors of Fate (1992), which gamers may remember from arcades or previous console releases. However the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle also includes Armored Warriors (1994) and Battle Circuit (1997) – two games which have previously only been available in arcades, giving new (i.e. younger) gamers a...

It took the Gameband, a smartwatch packed with retro mini-games, less than a day to hit its Kickstarter goal early last year. And then, thanks to branding partnerships with both Atari and indie darling “Terraria,” that modest $75,000 goal was more than quadrupled.
The Gamebad was a genuine hit, but now, 16 months later, the smartwatch seems plagued with problems. Company FMTwo Games, lead by the person who created the successful Minecraft Gameband, is nine months behind its ship date and in the past few months has grown silent, ignoring the increasingly angry requests for updates from its more than 1,700 backers. More troubling are rumors that Atari pulled its licensing and news that “Terraria” developers Re-Logic are just as in the dark as the backers, and growing just as disenchanted.
After weeks of sending request to FMTwo Games for comment, FMTwo Games CEO Feargal Mac Conuladh responded saying he was ready to chat.

Earlier today Atari announced that they have developed their own next gen console called the Atari Vcs. What’s intriguing is that the console seems like a combination of P.C Gaming and Console gaming. According to Atari it uses an open sandbox Linux system allowing the gamer to customize the software and experience.

Atari co-founder Samuel “Ted” Dabney died on Saturday after a battle with cancer. He was 81.
An electrical engineer and former U.S. Marine from San Francisco, Calif., Dabney developed “Computer Space,” the world’s very first commercial video game, with Nolan Bushnell in 1970. The game was a failure upon release in 1971, but in June of the following year, the pair launched Pong, Atari’s smash arcade hit.
Although he left the company in 1973 after a falling out with Bushnell, Dabney made an indelible mark on the video-game industry. He famously built Atari’s earliest arcade machines from repurposed TV components, and played an instrumental role in shaping the unmistakable sound effects that defined the arcades of the ’70s and ’80s. Despite the differences, the pair collaborated on Pizza Time Theatre, which later became known as Chuck E. Cheese’s.

The truth is the priority. That is the concern. Whatever it takes. (from Twin Galaxie’s official statement on stripping Billy Mitchell of his high scores.)
I saw Billy Mitchell in person last year at an arcade convention in Atlanta, Georgia. It was summertime, and so it was hot. Amidst the seething crowd of t-shirts and shorts, Mitchell wore a white suit draped atop his lanky 6’ 2” frame. A stars-and-stripes tie peeked out between the lapels. He looked like a cross between Tom Wolfe and Colonel Sanders. I watched as he posed for pictures with fans, most of whom knew him as that guy from the film “King of Kong,” a 2007 documentary by Seth Gordon about his tete-a-tete with Steve Wiebe for the world record high score in “Donkey Kong.”

Isle of Dogs? I love dogs, too. There’s something about their wide-eyed inquisitive faces that makes them an ideal fit for Wes Anderson, the modern master of deadpan whimsy. Using stop-motion puppetry techniques (as simultaneously ultra-modern and old-fashioned as the name of his hero, Atari) Anderson crafts an animated odyssey which is wholly original in art design and conception, if not its broader structure.
Anderson and co-writers Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Kunichi Nomura throw in a ton of world-building exposition, but the film is visually compelling and strange enough that it never feels like a drag.

Twenty years in the future a “snout fever” outbreak in Japan has banished every sick dog across the country to “Trash Island” – a floating island of rubbish – and a young schoolboy Atari (Koyu Rankin) jets off to save his beloved pooch Spots (Liev Schreiber) in a whimsical and action packed stop-motion adventure.
Isle of Dogs is director Wes Anderson’s ninth film, and his second stop-motion feature, having brought to life Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book Fantastic Mr. Fox, in his own idiosyncratic and utterly precise style of symmetrically infused Parisian cinema, bagging him an Oscar nomination for “Best Animated Feature” back in 2009. But this time around, Anderson has sailed East to Japan and crafted one of the most ambitious films of his career, along with his own travelling ensemble of film stars, character actors, and even a musical icon.

Well it’s rumour no more as the eclectic director has pulled it off once more and has delivered a miraculous film that brings all of his eccentricities into a tale of one boy and his dog.
Yes, man’s best friend is the subject of his latest endeavour which sees canines outlawed in Japan as fear grips the nation. All dogs are rounded up and sent off to an island off the coast, one usually utilised for the disposal of the mountains of waste from the surroundings vicinity.

Consider this a pro-dog space, and soon you’ll understand why. In Wes Anderson’s upcoming “Isle of Dogs,” the residents of a futuristic (and deeply dystopian) Japanese city undertake some wild measures to combat spreading disease (and unease), relegating the city’s dogs — all of the dogs — to so-called Trash Island. When one dedicated owner takes it upon himself to literally fly to the island to save his beloved dog, it sets into motion a wild chain of events that will not only impact “little pilot” Atari (voiced by Koyu Rankin) and his pup Spots (voiced by Liev Schreiber), but all of the residents of the island and beyond.
And what a charming batch of residents they are. Bolstered by the voice talents of stars like Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Bob Balaban, Jeff Goldblum, and Scarlett Johansson, the canines of Trash Island are about as vivid and...

Atari is making a bold return, after unveiling the Atari Vcs console. The company was once the golden boy of the video game industry, delivering at-home gaming excitement that was at the time unparalleled. Of course, the video game crash of 1983 put major dents in Atari’s standing in the industry (in part thanks to the release of poor quality tie-in games such as E.T.), leading to the dominance of competitors like Nintendo and the gradual decline of Atari as a whole.

You've got to watch this unique promo video for Wes Anderson's upcoming film Isle of Dogs. What I love about this is that it features interviews with several members of the cast, but as the dog characters that they play. Wes Anderson actually had the stop-motion animation created for these interviews and it turned out wonderfully entertaining and playful. I'm sure many of you will appreciate the thought, work, and effort that was put into making this great promo video.
The actors interviewed in the video include Bryan Cranston, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Liev Schriber, F. Murray Abraham, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton.

From the very first Atari game of Pong that attempted to recreate an arcade version of table tennis, to Nintendo’s Wii Sports whose efforts to get us up off the sofa were a good thing, video games based on sports have always been popular. As console technology developed better graphics and more complex gameplay the sports genre has produced some classic games. But what is it about sports games that have us so hooked?
For some, it’s merely a love of the sport itself. Not content with a full sports schedule on TV, the playability offered by internet access allows gamers to interact with other players for some exciting competition. It’s the same drive with fantasy football leagues; the excitement of playing the game is enhanced when you have a greater interest in the outcome. So, which sports have made it big as video games?

The making of Castlevania is the story of a game 90 years in the making.
We don't know what the weather was like in the U.K. on May 26, 1897. A romantic individual, however, might say that all throughout the nation, it was a dark and stormy night. This was the day a man named Bram Stoker, a business manager for the popular Lyceum Theater, finally published the book that would turn him into a horror legend.
On May 1, 1987, almost 90 years to the day of the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Konami released Castlevania in North America. The developer's timing was as deliberate as the game design. After all, Castlevania was meant to pay homage to Dracula and the popular horror universe the book had cultivated since its initial release.
That same romantic individual from earlier might tell you that the release of Castlevania symbolized the passing of a torch.

We don't know what the weather was like in the U.K. on May 26, 1897. A romantic individual, however, might say that all throughout the nation, it was a dark and stormy night. This was the day a man named Bram Stoker, a business manager for the popular Lyceum Theater, finally published the book that would turn him into a horror legend.
On May 1, 1987, almost 90 years to the day of the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Konami released Castlevania in North America. The developer's timing was as deliberate as the game design. After all, Castlevania was meant to pay homage to Dracula and the popular horror universe the book had cultivated since its initial release.

We may never find out if Big Foot exists, who Carly Simon wrote “You’re So Vain” about, or whether Leonardo DiCaprio is dreaming at the end of Inception. But there is one pop culture mystery which might be cleared up in the near future. For decades, it has been rumored that Atari buried millions of copies of its E.T. videogame at a landfill site in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Now, the Alamogordo city council has given the Los Angeles-based Fuel Entertainment permission to search the site for a film project and find out if one of the videogame industry’s...

San Francisco (AP) — When Steve Jobs adopted "think different" as Apple's mantra in the late 1990s, the company's ads featured Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Amelia Earhart and a constellation of other starry-eyed oddballs who reshaped society.
Nolan Bushnell never appeared in those tributes, even though Apple was riffing on an iconoclastic philosophy he embraced while running video game pioneer Atari in the early 1970s. Atari's refusal to be corralled by the status quo was one of the reasons Jobs went to work there in 1974 as an unkempt, contemptuous 19-year-old. Bushnell says Jobs offended some Atari employees so much that Bushnell eventually told Jobs to work nights when one else was around.
Bushnell, though, says he always saw something special in Jobs, who evidently came to appreciate his eccentric boss, too. The two remained in touch until shortly before Jobs died in October 2011 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

A couple of days ago, it was revealed that Sony had registered a bunch of domain names that were variations on the phrase "The Console Wars." Although they have not yet announced anything official related to that name, that hasn't stopped people from speculating wildly about what it could mean. The obvious assumption is that it is part of a marketing campaign for the upcoming Playstation 4, which is expected to be announced sometime next year. However, it's interesting to note that the domain names were registered by Sony Pictures Entertainment and that many of them contain the word "movie" at the end. Could Sony be working on a feature film about the video game console wars? It was Fusible that first broke the news about the domain registrations, and although additional details have been hard to come by, Kris Tapley of In Contention revealed via Twitter that he had caught...

Hiroyuki Okiura's A Letter to Momo, seven years in the making, opens in Japan next week after a run through the festival circuit and, in the Japan Times, Mark Schilling gives it four out of five stars: "Hayao Miyazaki is the obvious point of comparison, but unlike many of Miyazaki's more fanciful landscapes, Okiura's port is vividly, recognizably real — so much so that you can almost smell the salt in the water and feel the warmth of the stones.

According to reports, George Clooney and partner Grant Heslov, through their Smokehouse Pictures will adapt the novel, "Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour'" by author David Bianculli, as a big screen Sony motion picture.
The book covers the comedy duo's 1967-69, 'subversively funny', CBS variety hour TV series.
With a writing staff that included Steve Martin and Rob Reiner, the original series, freaked out CBS censors on a weekly basis by including social commentary about the Vietnam War and politicians.
"I'm thrilled on behalf of Tom and Dick, whose story deserves to be told and retold," said Bianculli, "and whose efforts to inject topicality into scripted TV comedy in the 1960's led very directly to the sort of thing Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher are doing today."
Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman ("Atari") will write the screenplay for Smokehouse.

George Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov will take a trip back to the '60s for their next effort, a film about comedians Tom and Dicky Smothers. Specifically, the movie will focus on the brothers' show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, which went from clean-cut humor to a promoting the politics of the counter-culture movement. The show was also notable for featuring cutting-edge music acts such as The Who and Jefferson Airplane as well as providing a start for future stars like Steve Martin and Rob Reiner who were part of the writing staff. The film will be based on the David Bianculli book Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story Of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. No word on whether Clooney will take on acting or directing duties for the project, but since he's involved, expect to see some notable names attached.

George Clooney and Grant Heslov are set to make a film about 60's comedians Tom and Dicky Smothers at Sony Pictures and Smokehouse says Deadline.
Based on the David Bianculli book "Dangerously Funny", the story follows the two brothers who famously squabbled both off screen and on air during their late 60's CBS series.
Initially quite clean, the pair became counterculture troublemakers which introduce liberal politics into the mainstream and made them an enemy of Richard Nixon.
It's unknown if Clooney will star or direct. Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman ("Atari") are adapting the script which Clooney and Heslov ("The Ides of March") will produce.

Video game movie tie-in’s have a difficult reputation to shake. Often produced cheaply and quickly to simply increase the profit and awareness of an upcoming movie, they are normally best avoided. Recent blockbusters like Iron Man 2 have followed this trend with lousy efforts, whilst consoles in the 80′s and 90′s were completely over-saturated with bad movie games. The awful Atari game based on Et was responsible for 1983′s video games crash, with the silly alien almost putting an abrupt end to the future of gaming.
In recent years, games based on movies are generally increasing in quality, with many developers putting care and attention into making something faithful to the film itself. In 2005 Rockstar brought us a brilliant beat-em-up based on The Warriors , while last years Toy Story 3 was a respectable and surprisingly deep game which even adults could enjoy.

The lead story this weekend has to be the gunman that shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, killed a federal judge, a child, and wounded 18 others. Rep. Giffords was generally viewed as a friend of gay rights. The gunman, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, was subdued by a staffer and is in custody, while another suspect is being sought. I really don’t want to get into wild blame games like some, but I do agree with Sheriff Dupnik: The vitriol surrounding this country’s politics is out of control, and when politicians keep talking about “2nd Amendment remedies,” putting gun sights on Congressional seats, and inviting voters to a political rally where they can shoot a fully automatic M-16, we can’t be surprised when an unstable person takes it literally. My thoughts and condolences to everyone affected.

For the fourth consecutive year Hollywood has selected its Black List, a compilation of the top unproduced screenplays for 2009. Over 300 film professionals were asked to submit the titles of up to ten of their favorite screenplays. The only condition for the picks were that the projects would not be released in theaters this year. That means some of the Black List honorees may be in the process of being turned into movies but by far the majority remain thoughts on digital ink, a blueprint for grand dramatic ideas, high-reaching adventure and controversial ideas waiting to be burned to light.
For a screenplay to have made it onto the Black List it must have received at least five votes for it. Some scripts have five votes while the top-rated screenplay received 47 votes. That doesn't mean that the script with the most votes is the best screenplay of the year; it means...

Leonardo DiCaprio is really proving to be not just an actor but a guy genuinely interested in making movies. While the films that he stars in command the most attention from the media, it's the films that he's producing and developing that are snagging my attention. He's got films in development based on the creator of Atari, he was a producer on the recentlty released Orphan horror flick, he's got a new Twilight Zone movie in the works, and that's just three of about two dozen projects in various stages of development at DiCaprio's company, Appian Way.
Now DiCaprio has added a new project to the mix, a Gothic retelling of the Grimm brothers fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Orphan screenwriter David Leslie Johnson will write the story, details of which remain under wraps. The original tale was about Red Riding Hood going off to visit her grandmother...
