Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: Splendor, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.
After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.

Marika Hackman’s first album of new material in half a decade, Big Sigh, comes after a period during which the English singer-songwriter doubted that she could write music again. As such, the album acts as a purging of the intense emotions and expansive aesthetic interests she developed during that time period, laying bare a tumultuous internal monologue over lush orchestrations and prickly synths.
While Hackman, whose roots are in contemporary folk music, has previously ventured into pop bombast with songs like 2019’s “Hand Solo,” never has her music been as loud and grungy as it is on the guitar-driven “Big Sigh.” The lyrics are at turns direct and inscrutable, with plainspoken sentiments like “Radio silence/I don’t wanna fight it” set against riddles about love and the creative process: “We’ve got grease on our feet and a bag full of weather/And if it stays like this...

Richard Romanus, the tough-guy character actor best known for his turn as Michael Longo, the Little Italy loan shark who gets into it with Robert De Niro’s Johnny Civello in Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets, has died. He was 80.
Romanus died Dec. 23 in a private hospital in Volos, Greece, his son, Robert Romanus, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Romanus handled prominent voice roles for Ralph Bakshi in 1977’s Wizards (as the elf warrior Weehawk) and 1982’s Hey Good Lookin’ (as the leader of a 1950s greaser gang), and in between, he played the cab driver Harry Canyon in another animated film, Heavy Metal (1981).
He also appeared on four episodes of The Sopranos as Richard Lapenna, the on-again, off-again husband of Lorraine Bracco’s Jennifer Melfi, from 1999-2002.
In Mean Streets (1973), Romanus’ character is famously disrespected by Johnny when he leans on him for his money.
“You know, Michael, you make me laugh,...

Star Trek Picard is, unsurprisingly, an absolutely treasure trove of continuity and easter eggs. Sometimes that’s fun, like when Seven of Nine silences the same bus punk that Spock did in Star Trek IV, and sometimes it’s baffling, such as when Guinan mysteriously de-ages and forgets Picard existed some time between the 19th and 21st centuries, or Picard’s Hallucination Dad adding a bunch of unnecessary backstory while gloating he kept his hair (despite the fact we already know he didn’t).
One of the subtler and longer-running threads of this series has been the plot around geneticist Adam Soong, ancestor of Data’s creator and excuse to keep casting Brent Spiner after Data has been killed off.
But Soong’s plotline is more than just “A 400 year-long male line of eerily identical mad scientists” and it ties into a piece of plot arc and worldbuilding that traces...

The CrewElite soldiers and seasoned criminals know how to breathe under pressure in the cinema of Julien Leclercq. It’s what separates them from everyday citizens and inexperienced combatants who cross their paths in a gunfight or heist. Moments of measured calm preceding volatile action becomes a visual motif for the talented French filmmaker. One incredible example stands out in Leclercq’s oeuvre: Seconds before strapping a pillow to his chest and playing vehicular chicken with an armored truck in The Crew (2015), master thief Yanis (Sami Bouajila) exhales deeply while staring ahead with the keen focus of a shark. The shot seems to last forever.Honoring the cool-as-a-cucumber tradition of French crime cinema perfected by Jacques Becker and Jean-Pierre Melville, Leclercq’s films are kinetic portraits of professional specialists with personal blind spots. No matter how much firepower or experience they bring into conflict, individual vulnerabilities get exposed. Family members are used as bargaining chips,...
