Gore Wins 1st Start, Nimmo and McCutchen Hit 1st Homers for Rangers in Blowout of Phillies

Published by Sam Flores

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Andrew McCutchen shrugged like Michael Jordan and offered a mock apology to a Phillies fan after he crossed the plate following his first home run with Texas. Brandon Nimmo went deep, too — his first home run since he was traded to the Rangers only further flamed anger in the Phillies fans who voraciously booed the former New York Mets rival from his first at-bat of the three-game series to the last. MacKenzie Gore tormented Philadelphia at his last stop, as well. He struck out 13 Phillies in his first start last season with Washington. Gore kept up his success against the Phillies in his first start with the Rangers, taking a no-hitter into the sixth and then escaping a jam later that inning when he fanned two-time NL MVP Bryce Harper with the bases loaded in an 8-3 win on Sunday. First homers and a fantastic first start from Gore helped the Rangers take two of three from the NL East champion Phillies. Oh, and for those Rangers fans keeping score …

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen review: Values gore over lore

Published by Daniella Wilson

A star rating of 3 out of 5. Ever witnessed a wedding where a happily ever after just doesn’t seem on the cards? Netflix’s blood-soaked new horror series takes that fear to the extreme, shouting from the rooftops with every title card, that Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen by the end of its eight episodes. You can’t say you weren’t warned… A week before their wedding, Rachel Harkin (Camila Morrone) and Nicky Cunningham (Adam DiMarco) travel to Summer House, the ancestral home of Nicky’s family. But multiple strange happenings plague the couple on the way there, leaving Rachel, in particular, more than a little on edge at the beginning of her wedding week. Things only get more unsettling when they get to Summer House and meet the rest of Nicky’s imposing family, including his parents, whose marriage he idolises, brutally honest brother Jules (Jeff Wilbusch) and his no-nonsense wife Nell (Karla Crome), larger-than-life sister Portia (Gus Birney), and quiet and watchful nephew Jude (Sawyer Fraser). As Rachel gets closer to her big day, …

Gore Verbinski Returns With AI Comedy ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Gore Verbinski has only returned to the big screen after a decade away from directing huge blockbusters like The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and Lone Ranger. Now with his first-ever indie pic, the sci-fi comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, artificial Intelligence has the world’s future on the line when Sam Rockwell, playing The Man From the Future, walks into a Norms diner in Los Angeles one night to ask customers to join him on a journey to save the world from an AI apocalypse. The diners, much like the audience during the opening scene for director Verbinski’s ambitious satire on this existential threat to humanity, have no idea how this madman raging against the AI machine in an LA eatery would save the world. “When you look at this man (Rockwell) coming into Norms, claiming to be from the future, looking like he might have crawled out of a dumpster — that could happen at Norms tomorrow. And yet by the end of that monologue, he’s convincing the patrons to come …

Darren Aronofsky’s AI-Generated Show Contains Garbled Neural Gore, Even Just in the Teaser Trailer

Published by José Betancourt

The use of generative AI in creative fields has turned into a flame war — a nightmare of meaningless and derivative AI slop that we’re seemingly unable to awaken from. The internet is being asphyxiated by incoherent AI-generated drivel as tech leaders continue to assure us that it’s the future we’ve always wanted. Even Hollywood hasn’t been safe from the onslaught, despite some of the biggest names in the industry publicly excoriating use of the tech. Now, noted director Darren Aronofsky — a renowned filmmaker behind films including “Requiem for a Dream,” “Black Swan,” and “The Fountain” — signed a partnership between his AI studio Primordial Soup and Salesforce, TIME Studios, and Google’s DeepMind for an almost entirely AI-generated drama series about the American Revolution titled “On This Day… 1776.” The first two three-minute episodes are already available to watch on YouTube, but we can’t in good conscience recommend anybody to seek them out. Even an early teaser trailer suffers from all of the usual drawbacks of the tech, from uncanny facial features to scrambled, …

MacKenzie Gore Traded to the Rangers From the Nationals for 5 Prospects

Published by Sam Flores

“We’re at a moment right now in time where we have a team we believe is capable of winning, and winning a championship,” Rangers general manager Ross Fenstermaker said. “And when you add a player of MacKenzie Gore’s status, it’s not that you look past what you’re giving up, but you’re excited on what you’re bringing in and what that does to the clubhouse, what this does for our fan base, what this does for excitement around the club.” Gore is under team control for the next two seasons; he can’t become a free agent until after the 2027 World Series. He is scheduled to make $5.6 million in 2026 after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Nationals that avoided arbitration. Gore, who turns 27 next month, is 26-41 with a 4.19 ERA in four major league seasons, the past three with Washington. He was an NL All-Star last season, but he faded in the second half and ended up going 5-15 with a 4.17 ERA and a career-best 185 strikeouts in 30 appearances, …
