Jason Statham has one specific character that occupies an interesting point along the evolutionary path of action heroes. He's at the middle of a spectrum between that one guy Jackie Chan always plays, who is incredibly dangerous for someone who doesn't want trouble, and the borderline psychopaths of the '80s like Marion Cobretti . source https://www.polygon.com/transporter-3-jason-statham-free-streaming/

One of the biggest criticisms Magic: The Gathering fans have regarding Secret Lair is that the limited print run of its drops makes it very hard to buy a product before scalpers stock up and start reselling it at much higher prices. This won't be an issue for the latest drop: Their Magic Is Limitless will be printed to demand and available for two weeks, July 20–Aug. 3. source https://www.polygon.com/their-magic-is-limitless-secret-lair-print-to-demand-charity/

Xbox as we know it is about to look very different, CEO Asha Sharma announced Monday in a publicly distributed memo detailing the company’s new plans. 3,200 layoffs. Four (maybe five) studio divestments. Sweeping changes to management structures. And broad implications about how Xbox will approach its business over the next 12 months. source https://www.polygon.com/xbox-restructure-game-pass-changes/

Vampires are one of the most flexible monsters in the Western canon. If you want hedonistic monsters, watch Interview With a Vampire . If you want just plain monsters, there's the Blade trilogy, From Dusk Till Dawn (but not its sequels, never its sequels), 2024's Abigail , or you could go older-school with Kathryn Bigelow's underappreciated Near Dark . If you're in the mood for unaccountably sexy vampires, there's Interview again, or 1995's Embrace of the Vampire . If you just want a really good vampire movie, watch Sinners . source https://www.polygon.com/this-slow-sad-love-song-of-a-vampire-movie-is-now-available-on-tubi/

At the end of season 2 of House of the Dragon , Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) cut a deal with her childhood best friend-turned-political rival Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) that would allow Rhaenyra to take over King’s Landing but protect Alicent’s children. The bargain quickly went wrong as King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) secretly fled the city. Alicent and her daughter Helaena were caught trying to do the same. House of the Dragon season 3 episode 3 deals with the fallout from the failed escape, as Alicent finds herself a prisoner in her old palace and tries to figure out how to work with Rhaenyra to protect her family and the Seven Kingdoms. source https://www.polygon.com/house-of-the-dragons-season-3-episode-3-interview/
