Verity is out in theaters. Starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, the film follows Lowen (Johnson), a struggling writer presented with a life-changing opportunity: ghostwriting the unfinished novel of Verity Crawford (Hathaway), one of the world's biggest authors. She accepts and soon finds herself living in Verity’s home and entangled with her husband, Jeremy (Hartnett). The snag is that Verity, left incapacitated from an accident, lies in a bed upstairs. source https://www.polygon.com/best-erotic-thrillers-movies-like-verity/

Immediately upon entering World War II, America faced the problem of its messages being intercepted by Germany, Italy, and Japan. As such, the American military needed to develop a code that couldn’t easily be broken. Early in 1942, Los Angeles civil engineer Philip Johnston proposed a solution. Having spent much of his youth on a Navajo reservation, and being one of the few non-Navajo people on Earth who understood the Navajo language, Johnston suggested the military recruit Navajos and use their language to communicate vital war information. source https://www.polygon.com/the-x-files-anasazi-the-blessing-way-paper-clip/

There is something uniquely unsettling about empty video game spaces. Blown wide open in the wake of Backrooms , the concept of liminal horror has seeped out from internet forums and chat rooms to become a subculture all its own. But while a photorealistic house filled with blood and corpses has its own macabre dread, there’s something even more unsettling about PS1-era graphics, where blocky textures and eerie lighting can make even a mundane street corner feel steeped in Lovecraftian horror. source https://www.polygon.com/steam-horror-game-turns-ps1-era-graphics-into-backrooms-style-nightmare-fuel/

Seven years after the fact, Quentin Tarantino's period action-drama Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood is getting an official sequel, just not one directed by Tarantino himself. Seven and Fight Club director David Fincher is helming the direct sequel instead with a new story that focuses on Brad Pitt's stuntman character Cliff Booth. We got our first look at The Adventures of Cliff Booth back in February, when Netflix released a teaser trailer for the sequel. Soon, we'll get the movie itself, as Cliff Booth is set to return in November. source https://www.polygon.com/quentin-tarantino-sequel-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-part-2/

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave 's protagonist, Eshmel (or whatever you call them), is a lot like Three Houses ' Byleth. They say little, someone else's soul inhabits their body, and despite ostensibly having no personality, they're the most important person (well, construct) in the empire. You never learn who Eshmel is outright, but some folks are pretty sure they know the protagonist's real identity. And I'm inclined to believe them. source https://www.polygon.com/fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-plot-mystery-eshmel-identity/
