PARK CITY, Utah — Few debuts in the history of cinema have made as much impact as Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs did when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1992. A smart, slick caper film, QT’s rat-a-tat dialogue and style birthed numerous imitators and ushered in the latest generation of filmmaker who, like their musical contemporaries, were deft at mashing up references and tropes to construct something new and fresh. To celebrate the quarter century since its release, Sundance did a one-off screening of the film introduced by Tarantino, followed by a lively conversation where he was joined by producer Lawrence Bender and Mr. Orange himself, Michael Madsen.

M. Night Shyamalan is back. For the second weekend in a row, the director's Split is the box office winner. Not since 1999's The Sixth Sense has a Shyamalan movie opened with two consecutive #1 weekends. But Split pulled it off, seemingly cementing the filmmaker's re-emergence after more than a decade of critical duds. Split picked up an estimated $26.3 million domestically over the weekend, based on Sunday estimates. That's down 34 percent after a $40 million opening weekend (domestic); a relatively small drop by Hollywood standards, and one that suggests both growing interest and repeat viewings for the new film.

The ACLU successfully argued for a halt to deportations across the United States on Saturday after an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on Friday caused chaos for immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations. Even before the stay was granted by a federal judge in Brooklyn, celebrities began calling for donations to the ACLU, starting with Sia, who said she will match donations up to $100,000. The immigration ban, which resulted in detentions of immigrants at airports around the United States and protests at many of those same airports, also targeted legal U.S. residents from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia who were out of the U.S. at the time of the ban, as well as those who have dual citizenship in one of those nations.

"We are the voice, we are the face of America. Our America is big, it is free, and it is open to dreamers of all races, all countries, all religions.

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture Barb from 'Stranger Things' is back and killing it on the SAGs red carpet
Our hearts broke when Stranger Things failed to do justice to Barb, our favorite nerdy side character. But never fear: Your girl Barb — aka actress Shannon Purser — is back and looking great on the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet.
Despite her relatively minor part on the Netflix sci-fi drama, fans took a liking to Barb and were saddened by her quick demise. As David Harbour, who plays Police Chief Jim Hopper, told a crowd at New York Comic Con in October, though Barb is definitely dead, fans can expect some justice for the character. Read more...

It seems the UK really, really doesn't want Trump to meet the Queen

Bryan Cranston knows what Lyndon B. Johnson would say to Trump, and it's not pretty
Bryan Cranston played Lyndon B. Johnson in HBO's All The Way, so he's a decent surrogate to decipher what the former president would have to say about this deeply confusing era of our nation. Cranston won the SAG award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie for his portrayal of Johnson on Sunday. At the podium, the Breaking Bad star imagined what the brash leader would have to say about Trump, who has never had an issue with candor himself.

President Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban caused chaos over the weekend, but the full reach of its impact is still emerging. The executive order, which pauses travel to the U.S. for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries, as well as indefinitely halting the Syrian refugee program, saw people turned away at the border and pulled off planes. While not so immediately impacted, the ban will also have consequences for some Australian technology workers and their businesses.

Appearing together on The Graham Norton Show to discuss T2 Trainspotting, Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor were asked about falling out.

India is looking at the sky once again as it preps for another world record next month. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will attempt to launch 104 satellites on a single rocket in February. ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle will carry three satellites from India, and another 101 smaller nano satellites from five countries including the USA. If things go as planned, ISRO would be able to surpass, by a long margin, the record set by Russia, which sent 37 satellites in one go in 2014. ISRO's attempt, however, is more about making satellite launches cheaper than shattering records. "Target of PSLV-C37 to launch the maximum number of satellites, tentatively on Feb. 15 is not for creating a record or publicity, it is aimed at cutting the costs down," Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre director K Sivan told The Times of India.

More protests erupted this weekend in response to President Trump's executive order, signed on Friday, which indefinitely barred Syrian refugees and temporarily banned travel into the U.S. from citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries. And, yet again, protesters brought some great signs. While the Women's March took place in streets and parks, the Muslim ban protests extended to major airports across the U.S. as stories have surfaced of people already being detained due to the ban. Unsurprisingly, the protests of this past weekend were coupled with tons of creative signage. The messages ranged from humorous to angered, and many were rooted in the theme that immigrants and people of all races should be welcomed in America. There were also signs protesting Trump directly and calling for his impeachment. Read more...

'Looks like scoring a used iPhone just got a bit more tricky. Apple's iCloud Activation Lock tool—which allowed potential buyers to check if a used iOS device (i.e. iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches and Apple Watches) is tied to an active account—appears to have been removed from iCloud.com. The change was first noticed by MacRumors. Activation Lock, first introduced with iOS 7 in 2013, is enabled automatically when a user turns on their device's Find My iPhone feature. It ties an iOS device to a single iCloud account, effectively protecting the phone from being hijacked by someone else. It's the reason why you have to take a few moments to wipe an iOS device and turn off Find My iPhone when you trade your old iPhone in for a new one—if you didn't, your old device would still be tied to your account, and useless on the resale market.

It has often been said that the world doesn’t move at the speed of light, but at the speed of technology. We live in a golden age of innovation, with new gadgets, gear and gizmos popping up in the market almost every day. And the further we go into the future, the more advanced we’ll become. It can be amazing to consider how far tech will take us in the next few decades. What will the world look like by 2050? The reality is that a lot of the innovative devices that will dominate society during the first half of the 21st Century are already creeping into our lives right now. The technological changes we’ll witness in these 50 years will be nothing short of extraordinary. Rarely, though, do we stop and think about how so many of these advancements actually already exist right now. Read more...

The Trump administration has pulled all Obamacare advertisements in the final days of the 2017 enrollment season. With lack of advertising, it's important to spread the word that the deadline to apply for 2017 coverage is Jan. 31. Fortunately, comedian and writer Colton Dunn has been making his own advertisements on Twitter everyday so that we are all in-the-know about the quickly approaching deadline. Check out the Superstore actor's original commercial below.
The 'father of Pac-Man' has died at 91
Masaya Nakamura, founder of Namco and frequently referred to as the father of Pac-Man, died on Sunday, Jan. 22, at 91. What we know today as developer and publisher Bandai Namco began as a Japanese company that made children's rides for department stores, called Nakamura Manufacturing, founded by Nakamura in 1955. The Namco name is an acronym that was eventually derived from the 1958 reorganization as Nakamura Amusement Machine Manufacturing Company. In 1974, the company acquired Atari's struggling Japanese division, a move that would see the launch of several iconic arcade games in the 70s and 80s, though the companies would eventually part ways in 1987.

Uber is riding straight into PR hell. The ride-sharing company is currently enduring the full wrath of the internet after infuriating customers following its reaction to a Muslim travel ban issued by President Donald Trump. On Saturday, thousands of people showed up at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City to protest the president's order. The NY Taxi Workers Alliance called for an hour-long work stoppage to protest the ban and during this time, Uber sent out a tweet stating that the company would pause surge pricing. Many took this as a form of "strike breaking," whilst simultaneously profiting off the situation. Read more...

Veronica Dearly decided to create an illustration to convey her thoughts about May and Trump's handholding.
The new dating app that aims to include people with disabilities
Honesty about your true self isn’t exactly the hallmark of most online dating apps, but a new one called Glimmer is trying to create a more transparent environment, especially for people with disabilities. The emphasis dating apps like Tinder and Bumble put on superficial snap judgments can pose a unique challenge for people with disabilities. Profile formats can make it difficult to easily disclose your disability, and many people fear they’ll be passed over if they do. Glimmer is trying to provide an alternative by creating a more inclusive, transparent environment.

We've seen sushi of all kinds: some sweet, some savory, some unnecessary, some gross and weird. But, Japan has stepped up their cute food game once again with Kit Kat sushi, our dessert dream come true. The sushi comes in three flavors: Maguro (tuna), Tamago (egg) and Uni (sea urchin). But, don't worry, the flavors are only named for the sushi that inspire them, not for their taste. Tokyo's first street-facing Kit Kat shop will open on Feb. 2 and will sell limited quantities of the candy treat between Feb. 2- Feb. 4. Read more...

One Native American tribe is giving a modern spin to the traditional dreamcatcher, using razor-sharp wire to highlight the struggle and resilience of Indigenous communities fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Pueblo Tribe, which set up camp at Standing Rock in August 2016, started making dreamcatchers with barbed wire that was previously used against water protectors. Now they're selling the jarring creations to help fund the camp's needs. The tribe took this particular barbed wire off canoes taken from the Pueblo Camp by Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) security. The canoes, used by the Pueblo Camp for water rescues during clashes with DAPL workers, were reportedly stolen during the night by security and brought to their base across the river. Read more...

The Super Bowl is fast approaching, and what better way to get in the spirit than by watching football inflation in slow motion. Nope, we are not referring to the infamous and played-out #Deflategate. We're actually talking about the opposite — over-inflating footballs. The Slow Mo Guys have come out with a new video that shows us what over-inflating a football looks like in slow motion. Now these guys are British, so they refer to our American football as "pretend football." But we'll let it slide. With the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, nothing will bring America's sport down. Bryan Cranston will reprise Howard Beale in timely stage production of 'Network'
Bryan Cranston will head to the National Theater in London to portray Howard Beale, the fictitious anchorman in the 1976 film Network who battles television ratings, a crumbling world and a personal demons all on air. According to The New York Times, legendary theater director Ivo van Hove is slated to direct the play, based on an adapted screenplay by Lee Hall ("Billy Elliot"). The show is scheduled to open to the public in November. Peter Finch originally played Beale, and was recognized with the Academy Award's first posthumous Oscar award for his portrayal of the anchorman-gone-mad. Read more...

If you subscribe to the butterfly effect—the idea that a tiny change in one part of the world can have massive side effects elsewhere—then you know that a President Trump in 1949 (as opposed to President Truman) and an executive order banning immigration from Syria, could have meant that one of the most successful companies of all time, Apple, might never have existed at all. Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, who was adopted shortly after his birth in 1955, was born to Abdul Fattah Jandali, and Joanne Carol Schieble. The two met while students at the University of Wisconsin. Jandali, however, was born in Syria in 1931, and emigrated from Beirut in 1949. He was, in other words, a Syrian National. Read more...

Samantha Bee is throwing a party in DC and it's safe to say President Trump won't be in attendance. The comedian announced Monday the "first annual 'Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner,'" which will take place on Saturday, April 29 at The Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. (the same night as the annual WHCD). "Executives at TBS offered their full support of the gala by nodding politely and then muttering under their breath as we turned around," said Bee in a release. "The evening is sure to bring plenty of surprises, music, food, and laughter—and if you're not careful you just might learn something. Specifically, you’ll learn how screwed we'd be without a free press." Azealia Banks Instagrammed Rihanna's phone number because she's the worst
Azealia Banks does not need Twitter to get into a Twitter feud — her depravity knows no bounds. And so over the weekend, she and Rihanna got into a political beef over Trump's immigration ban — just guess which side Banks is on — that resulted in both parties sharing screenshots of each other's phone numbers. It started after Rihanna dissed Banks' boy, President Trump.
This Scottish man's Twitter feed is blowing up for all the wrong reasons
LONDON — Cases of mistaken identity are not uncommon on Twitter, but some people have it significantly worse than others. Remember John Lewis, the American computer science educator who's forever being mistaken for both a congressman and a British department store? Well, he's not the only one. With increasing mentions of Donald Trump's Chief Strategist Steve Bannon cropping up in the news, one man from Scotland has found himself on the receiving end up a huge surge of misdirected tweets.

LONDON — J.K. Rowling has outdone herself. When you're already the Queen of Twitter burns that's not an easy task to manage, but manage it she has. It started Monday afternoon, when she shared the following quote from Winston Churchill.
Rowling has been tweeting her condemnation of Trump's travel ban over the weekend, so it's likely that tweet was in response to the many Trump supporters angrily tweeting back at her. Read more...

After an emotional, chaos-filled weekend stemming from Donald Trump's ordered immigration ban, people are taking every Trump-related tweet into serious consideration... even ones from 2011. Following the order — which resulted in protests at airports across the United States after legal U.S. residents and immigrants were detained — Twitter users happened upon a nearly six-year-old tweet from the official Trump Hotels account, representing the president's former business franchise. Then came the trolling. On Oct. 11, 2011, Trump Hotels simply asked followers to recall and share their favorite travel memories — whether that be a photograph, a souvenir or a sunset. Read more...

Lyft is catching up to Uber, again. The No. 2 ride-hailing app on Monday announced it would add a calendar integration, allowing Lyft users to connect their native or Google calendars with the app to find addresses from their events. Uber added that feature about three weeks ago. And last week, Lyft started letting some users pay for their rides with their pre-tax commuter benefits, a feature Uber first started testing in August. Lyft's calendar feature will work pretty much just like Uber's. Users connect their smartphone's calendar app or their Google calendar with Lyft. The ride-hailing app will also allow users to create destination shortcuts like the gym or a friend's apartment. Read more...

Redditor holdthedoor444 shared a truly savage (and definitely exaggerated) letter to his neighbors, and posted it in the hallway of his apartment building following a terrible night.

The poster for Trainspotting has to be one of the most iconic movie posters of all time. The updated, 20-years-on version created on The Graham Norton Show, meanwhile — well, let's just say, it's certainly eye-catching. During Friday's show the cast of Danny Boyle's T2 Trainspotting sequel joined Norton for a photoshoot at the end of the episode in order to recreate the masterpiece (Norton filled in for Kelly Macdonald in her absence). The result pretty much speaks for itself. You can now tell Alexa to place your Starbucks order for in-store pickup
Pizza isn't the only thing Amazon's Alexa digital assistant can order for you. Starbucks announced on Monday Echo owners can now enable the "Starbucks Reorder" skill and, with a voice command, tell Alexa to reorder food and beverages for pickup at a preferred store. As with Alexa's Domino's Pizza skill, placing an order with Alexa voice commands is simple, but limited. You'll only be able to order your pre-selected "usual" order and have them ready for pickup from one of the 10 most recent stores you've ordered from. But if you're perfectly OK with ordering your fill of extra pumpkin spice lattes six times a day, then who are we to judge? Just don't go overboard with ordering too much caffeine because it's now so easy to do. Read more...

It's been a little over a week since President Trump's inauguration, and already, millions of Americans are sitting in front of their phones, hysterically retweeting Vox articles, often immobilized with fear. The bad news comes in so fast you can hardly keep up with it: senior State Department officials asked to resign, a defacto Muslim ban and a white supremacist given a role typically held for generals. As important as it is to remain informed, however, it's equally necessary for people to stay calm and not lapse into full on Facebook post hysteria. It's far easier to organize when you're motivated by the hope in your heart rather than the panic our president inspires. Read more...

It's getting real out here on these ride-hailing streets. Atlanta-bred rapper MadeinTYO—known for his viral 2016 hit "Uber Everywhere"—has now wedged his way into the war on Uber that took the internet by storm over the weekend, and decried the very brand that helped propel him to stardom. MadeinTYO made his feelings known in two succinct tweets, dragging Uber and, then, pledging support for its direct competitor, Lyft.

All it took was one hashtag from EA's senior manager of community engagement, Daniel Lingen, over the weekend. With roughly 11,000 retweets and 21,000 likes so far, it's pretty obvious what the fans want. And here's how they reacted:
A thorough explanation of why you might feel sick playing games in VR
It's not clear just how widespread an issue motion sickness in VR is, but it's certainly not not a problem. Some game developers have managed to come up with tricks to lessen the impact of VR gaming on your stomach, but at best they can feel like temporary fixes to a problem that always seems to rear its head after a few minutes of reprieve. Fraction turning, limited fields of view and even the addition of fixed points that players can focus on for some relief only do so much. Youtube user Super Bunnyhop does a good job of explaining why that is after digging through tons of research and talks on VR sickness. Basically? Though factors like speed, acceleration, frame rate or a shaky horizon certainly exacerbate the problem, it mostly comes down to your confused perception of reality. Your brain can't reconcile the differences in the varying sensory information it's receiving, potentially thinks you're hallucinating because you've been poisoned and it wants to force you to get the toxins out of your system. Oh, brain. You're so silly. Read more... More about Virtual Reality, Gaming, and Entertainment Read More »Meet the gay Iraqi soldiers who fell in love and ended up on Ellen
Ellen has once again found a story so impossibly sweet it almost makes us forget all the garbage she had to sift through to get it. In the midst of Trump's recent Muslim ban, Ellen presented us with Nayyef and Btoo, two former Iraqi soldiers who met while enlisted and fell in love. Iraq's rampant homophobia forced them to keep their relationship a secret—if anyone were to find out they were gay, they would "either get tortured or killed." After his work as an English translator put him in danger, Nayyef applied for asylum in America. Btoo was unable to receive the same asylum, and the pair was separated for four years. During their time apart, the two spoke through Skype every single day. Read more...

CEOs tend to walk a fine line when it comes to politics. In times of strife, it's common for chief executives to release mealy-mouthed statements full of corporate nothingspeak—and this is nothing if not a time of strife. After Donald Trump's executive order on immigration, however, many corporate leaders (especially those in the tech industry) have come out with some ostensibly strong statements. But what are they actually saying? Apple's Tim CookCook's been growing out of his shell, and seems to be growing more comfortable taking bold stands on issues. What he said: In a memo to Apple Staff, "It is not a policy we support," and later, "In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, 'We may have all come on different ships, but we are in the same boat now.'"

The Lego Movie writer accompanied the tweet with the words, "Han first shot," a clever homage to the decades-old discussion about Solo shooting Greedo first during the two characters' tense encounter in A New Hope.
