Recently, THR got the chance to sit down with the actress who plays Sophie, Zazie Beetz to ask her about that scene among other things. When asked if there are any differences between the Sophie in Arthur’s mind and the real Sophie, Beetz said: Having anybody outside of that just even say, ‘Here, we’re an equal. This sucks for the both of us, doesn’t it?’ is such a validating experience for him, especially coming from a woman, as he doesn’t have an opportunity to have any kind of romantic endeavors just due to his state....

However, in an unprecedented move, the festival’s top award, known as the Golden Lion, went to director Todd Phillips’ DC Comics adaptation, Joker. This is crazy because no film based (loosely or otherwise) on comic books have ever received this award, not even The Dark Knight and Logan. Past winners of this award include Roma (which later went on to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination and also won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar), Best Picture Oscar winner The Shape of Water, and The Wrestler....

As the story goes, this is not the first time that licencing issue has plagued InDriver Malaysia though. Back in June 2020, Malaysia E-Hailing Drivers Association advised e-hailing drivers and users not to utilize InDriver as the service was operating without a valid licence at that time. It is unclear when exactly InDriver obtained the necessary permit from the authorities after that but it appeared that the service sorted out the issue when InDriver Malaysia was formally introduced in October 2021....

ORIGINAL STORY [3:30 PM]: The original PlayStation has a special place in the hearts of many gamers. Sony Interactive Entertainment tried to capitalise on this with the PlayStation Classic mini console back in 2018. While that was nice, it doesn’t quite compare to something a lot more recent that the video game maker has licensed – multi-pouch bag that’s a 1/1 scale of the console itself. And Kinokuniya Malaysia is now taking pre-orders for it....

Konami made the announcement on its website, saying that it is already working on renewing the licenses for the footage in question. The removal affects all platforms, including the HD Collection that they are a part of. As a result, even Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for the PS3 and PS Vita will be temporarily removed. Chances are Konami is doing this in case the license renewal for the historical footage could not be renewed in time before they actually expire....

It’s that time of the year again, where theatres start to serve us slices of family-friendly Christmas movies to keep us cosy during the holidays. Is what I would say if romantic comedies are still a mainstay in today’s cinema landscape. Alas, such is not the case anymore in the modern era of the ‘explosive blockbuster’. I reckon we’ll be getting a bunch of these films straight to Netflix and various streaming platforms over the next month or so....

Rather than being 3D brick-based models, the new sets feature small bead-sized pieces which you can piece together on a Lego mat that acts as a canvas for the artwork. Lego Art currently has four sets to choose from – including The Beatles, Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe, Marvel’s Iron Man, and a Star Wars set featuring members of the Sith. While the selection sounds limited, each set actually offers builders multiple ways to complete them....

The LEGO Nintendo NES set was previously teased on the company’s social media accounts last weekend, and leaked images of its packaging surfaced online not long after the announcement. Now that the set is official, we now have a better look at what it looks like and other features it has to offer to fans of both LEGO and Nintendo. The new NES building kit will include a controller with a connecting cable and plug, as well as an opening slot for the included gaming cartridge....

LEGO says that the most important set of them all is the fittingly-named Starter Course. This is the only set that comes with the central piece of all the sets – Mario himself. This is the one with screens for its eyes and on his top, serves as notifications for when you put it through the various play scenarios. This Starter Course is accompanied by 15 other sets in the LEGO Super Mario collaboration....

The company touts the Slim 7 Carbon to be the most lightest laptop in the market, coming in at just over a kilogram in weight and 14.9mm in thickness. It packs a 14-inch OLED QHD+ display with a resolution of 2880 x 1800, refresh rate of 90Hz, and an optional touchscreen configuration. Despite its light and compact form factor, Lenovo says that the laptop is built to survive military-grade durability tests....

Quite understandably, part of the announcement explains that “current conditions have made it uncertain for us to commit to having a public event”. But it’s odd that the post starts by saying this year’s event will be postponed to 2021. It is an annual event after all, which would mean the outright cancellation of this year’s iteration. Either way, it’s unfortunate to see the event not being able to carry the momentum from Level Up KL 2019....

So, one can only imagine how excited I was when it was announced that the series would be getting a reboot/sequel for Disney+ centred around Lizzie McGuire in her 30s starring Duff and created by original showrunner Terri Minsky. The show would focus on an adult Lizzie and thus deal with more adult subjects and would have an adult tone. Everyone apparently liked this idea, including the executives at Disney, obviously, or else it wouldn’t have been greenlit in the first place....

According to the airline, the pass will be integrated directly into the Malaysia Airlines mobile app. Among the functions that will be enabled by the pass include the ability to schedule COVID-19 RT-PCR test with the airline’s medical partners. Passengers will also be able to digitally store their COVID-19 vaccination certificate inside the app and they can also use it to verify their travel eligibility directly with the airline. Malaysia Airlines has also adopted some of the modules from the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Travel Pass for its app, so that passengers can create a digital passport that includes all the necessary test and vaccination info that they can show to relevant authorities during their travels....

Outside of China, Apple is almost undoubtedly spoilt for choice. What is surprising is that Malaysia is the brand’s list, followed by Mexico, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. However, according to executives who are part of the talks, Apple has seemingly marked both India and Vietnam as potential favourites. There are several reasons behind Apple’s decision, with the major – if not decisive – factor currently being the on-going trade war between the US and China....

GamesBeat reports that EA has put out a hiring notice for a technical director for Mass Effect 5. The publisher is looking for people with “experience with Unreal Engine”. While it does not necessarily mean that the publisher will dictate that Bioware uses the engine for the game, the possibility remains open. — Jeff Grubb (@JeffGrubb) September 3, 2021 The report goes on to say that, for Mass Effect 5, the company is considering all its options....

In the statement, MCMC has also reminded members of the public that sharing offensive content through the Internet is a breach of Section 233 under the 1998 Communications and Multimedia Act. Here it is, in full: https://twitter.com/SKMM_MCMC/status/1106523283648704513 During the mass shooting attack which happened during Friday prayers with more than 40 people were killed, the attacker has apparently live-streamed the attack online.

Even though the company didn’t specifically mention the name of its satellite operator in the statement, it is a publicly known fact that Astro relies on MEASAT satellites for its operations. According to a document that Astro has filed with Bursa Malaysia in 2019, the company leased 42 transponders on MEASAT satellites. Aside from Astro, it turns out that MEASAT’s own broadband service, CONNECTme had also faced disruptions as well....

The Verge reports that the web version of Microsoft xCloud will be similar to the Android version. It will have a simple launcher, game recommendations, and the ability to resume recently played titles. Most importantly, it will also give access to all the games available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. You’ll likely still need an Xbox controller connected to your phone for this to work. For now, it remains to be seen what sort of performance one can expect from Microsoft xCloud web....

Iftar4u has partnered with homegrown delivery services so users can receive their food quickly and affordably. The brand added that the service is available for Selangor residents, and has implemented centralised checkpoints for merchants to drop off their food orders for runners to pick up and deliver from.
