My uncle on my dad's side. He also doesnt think 9/11 and the holocaust happened.

I knew a guy who didn't think 9/11 happened either. He thought it was a CGI animated film directed by James Cameron, and was testing Avatar's realistic technology on the public before he started making the movie.

...Seriously.

There's tons of queer-coded content in movies and entertainment going back to the silent era that would go over a lot of people's heads.

I can't imagine many Disney artists were enraptured with the idea of immortalizing Old Stain and they half-assed it.

Also, they've had plenty of time to revise it and make it look more like him, but I doubt most people working at Imagineering like Trump enough to actually want to.

Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness is coming soon.

Yes, and this is when they're going to be pulling the trigger. This is why I meant for the time being: so many people are expecting every little thing that happens in these shows to be related to a mainline multiverse, without trying to enjoy them at face value.

...I'm basically saying that this confirms that Loki's gonna open up the multiverse, which gives them an "excuse" to do this show without it seemingly coming out of nowhere.

You honestly think such a significant shift in the MCU is going to be done through this show? It's just meant to be a simple little series of shorts showing what if scenarios.

Just put this multiverse fan theory stuff out of your head for the time being.

It's due to the insufficient vaccination rates in the country. That's what we're really talking about here.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The Knoxville Police Department is conducting an internal affairs investigation after an off-duty officer was accused of making racist remarks after a wedding reception.

The investigation stems from an incident that happened on June 26 after a wedding reception in downtown Knoxville.

According to the KPD incident report, Officer Tanner Holt was outside talking to several other people in a parking lot when a man punched Holt in the face.

Another KPD officer responded to investigate. Several witnesses told the officer that a "very intoxicated" Holt made several comments about race, including that he "didn't know they let Black people in the reception hall."

According to the report, Jonathan Toney said he asked Holt to stop talking about race, but Holt kept pushing the issue, insisting that "he (Holt) was part of the Black community."

When Holt wouldn't stop, Toney, who was Black, punched Holt in the face, knocking him to the ground, according to the report. Holt was unconscious when the responding officer arrived. He was taken to UT Medical Center for treatment.

According to the report, Toney was charged with simple assault.
Because witnesses told them that Holt made racially motivated statements, the officers that responded to the incident reported it to their supervisors, according to KPD spokesperson Scott Erland.

Chief Eve Thomas requested that the Internal Affairs Unit open an investigation on Monday to see if Holt violated KPD's Code of Conduct policy, Erland said.

So King Kong is public domain and I can make movies of it?

No, it just had dubious ownership at the time. It was originally an RKO film, and Universal was making the new ones and distributed them, but Universal didn't own rights to the character. It was pretty messy

I thought people always hated the modern day crap. Now we have people who say they liked it in the old games? Huh?

The older games had some consistency and seemed to be building up to something, but then in AC3 Desmond was physically killed off, and the modern stuff has been kind of disorganized since then.

I've actually thought about that before. I play single player games 95% of the time, and I'm a really laid back person. It's always been cathartic and relaxing for me to just get lost in solo play, even for a harder game.

Assassins Creed, a video game franchise set in huge worlds where each one can take hundreds of hours to complete, is getting even bigger. A new project, which is known inside Ubisoft Entertainment SA by the code name Assassins Creed Infinity, sets out to create a massive online platform that evolves over time, according to people familiar with its development.

Whereas previous Assassins Creed games each unfolded in specific historical settings such as ancient Greece or Ptolemaic Egypt, Infinity will contain multiple settings with room to expand to others in the months and years following its debut, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a project under development. Individual games on the platform might look and feel different, but they will all be connected.

Details surrounding the project, which hasnt been previously reported, are in flux, and its still years away from release. The teams have also been affected by the #MeToo allegations that have swept through the company over the last year.

A spokeswoman for Ubisoft declined to discuss Infinity in detail but acknowledged its existence. Ubisoft aims to exceed the expectations of fans who have been asking for a more cohesive approach to the series, the spokeswoman said. As for sexual misconduct claims, she said Ubisoft had investigated every allegation and took appropriate actions.

Since 2007, Ubisoft has released a new game in the popular action-adventure series every year or two. Collectively, the Assassins Creed games have sold more than 155 million units, easily making it the biggest franchise for the French publisher. The plan to turn Assassins Creed into a so-called service game follows a trend employed by other big publishers.

Inspired by smash hits like Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto V, these living online platforms can keep players engaged for years by frequently adding new content or changing the experience in dramatic ways. The fifth Grand Theft Auto game, which has sold more than 140 million copies largely thanks to its constantly updated multiplayer mode, is approaching its eighth birthday with versions planned for a third generation of game consoles.
Service games generate huge revenue over time by hooking players and pushing them to spend money on special content within the game. GTA V helped drive shares of its publisher, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., up 42% since the beginning of last year. In the same period, Ubisoft shares were flat.

Global Business and Talent Attraction Taskforce Australia
Development of an Assassins Creed game typically involves thousands of employees across a dozen Ubisoft offices, led by teams in Montreal or Quebec City that alternate duties. The Montreal team helmed last years Assassins Creed Valhalla, while Quebec ran the previous game, Assassins Creed Odyssey.

For Assassins Creed Infinity, this tradition will also change. In April, Ubisoft unified the Montreal and Quebec teams. Now, they will collaborate on Infinity, and each will have its own creative director, but Quebec will take charge of the franchise. There has long been a rivalry between the two studios that has at times turned acrimonious, according to people familiar with the matter, so this shift may cause some headaches.
The organizational change is designed to help the franchise evolve in a more integrated and collaborative manner thats less centered on studios and more focused on talent and leadership, no matter where they are within Ubisoft, the spokeswoman said.
But the reorganization has rankled some employees at Ubisoft, which is still reeling from last years cultural reckoning over widespread sexual misconduct allegations. Dozens of current and former employees accused Ubisoft of facilitating a culture of misconduct and abuse, leading to the ouster of studio heads and the chief creative officer.

However, some managers accused of abusive behavior remain in senior positions after the reorganization, people familiar with the matter said. That has prompted a fresh round of complaints on Ubisofts internal message board from employees who were dissatisfied with the companys response to the allegations, according to people who read the messages, which were written in French. Bloomberg reviewed English translations.
Last month, the French union Solidaires Informatique said at least three Ubisoft managers in Montreal had been accused of harassment or toxic behavior and that employees had reported other claims of racism and sexism to human resources without anything being done.

The Ubisoft spokeswoman declined to comment on individual cases. Any employee that had allegations and remain at Ubisoft has had their case rigorously reviewed by a third party and were either exonerated or underwent appropriate disciplinary actions, she said. Employees who have been under investigation would not remain at Ubisoft if results of investigations warranted termination.
Ubisoft Montreal has experienced a rise in attrition over the past two months, caused by a variety of factors. In addition to the #MeToo scandal and the reorg, Ubisoft is facing new competition from other video game companies in Montreal. And some employees, tired of working on massive productions, balked at the idea of Assassins Creed Infinity, which may be the most ambitious one yet.

The earliest that I can remember the experience as a whole is the Phantom Menace. But I know I saw Lion King in theaters, I just don't actually remember that.

What's weird is I saw nearly every Disney Renaissance movie in theaters EXCEPT The Lion King, and I have no idea why we skipped that one.

I played the hell out of the video, though.
