Early reactions to the test screening of the film RESIDENT EVIL directed by Zach Cregger 🎬 The first test screenings have yielded extremely positive results: • According to early reviews, Cregger hasn’t simply made another video game adaptation; instead, he’s created a fast-paced, intense film with a lot of personality that relies almost entirely on tension. • It’s 90 minutes of pure adrenaline, and one attendee described it as a horror version of Fury Road. • An Avatar-style protagonist: Austin Abrams plays Bryan, a delivery driver who must bring a mysterious briefcase to Raccoon City Hospital in the midst of a viral outbreak. His character acts as a vehicle for the viewer to experience the chaos, much like a player in a video game. • Instead of an extensive mythology, the film features a small cast and a focused approach. It doesn’t aim to adapt a specific story from the games, but rather to capture their nightmarish essence. There is almost no world-building. • Early reactions indicate that it is far more cinematic than previous Resident Evil films, with strong visual composition and practical effects doing most of the work. • Cregger has cited Evil Dead II as his primary tonal reference, seeking a balance between horror, speed, and absolute chaos. The release is scheduled for September 18, 2026. #ResidentEvilMovie #ZachCregger #ResidentEvil #RE30th #REBHFun
PSA: Pensioner Spending is the single largest line item here - *£160bn*. More than half of all benefit spending. More than NHS England, or all NHS Providers. Want to pay less tax? Reduce the benefits we give to people who’ve had an entire life to prepare and save.
“Free condoms?? What would I tell my kids if they saw those????” Probably like “That’s something for grown-ups” if they’re prepubescent, or “Those are barriers to make some kinds of sex safer” if they’re a teenager. Just be matter-of-fact and developmentally appropriate. Jeez

This isn't just a nintendo thing, there's a huge phenomenon of game devs refusing to make sequels that actually follow up on their predecessor's story (even for narrative heavy franchises) because every installment needs to be a potential "entry point"
nintendo is so fundamentally opposed to having any kind of connecting stories between anything, its so weird. even games that are direct sequels will rarely if ever acknowledge the previous story
Legal docs reveal Miyamoto originally saw Donkey Kong as "a human in a gorilla costume," disclose other names considered for the game/character gonintendo.com/contents/59600…
Now this should be an interesting debate, talking about just these scenes in particular:
