One might expect it to take months and months of arduous preparation to assume the role of a former UFC fighter, but Jake Gyllenhaal was already well on his way toward his impressive «Road House» physique. As his trainer, Jason Walsh, noted to Insider, the actor likes to lead an intense athletic lifestyle.
«If he’s not in the gym doing strength training and conditioning, he’s swimming, he’s outside playing paddle tennis, he cycles like crazy,» Walsh described Gyllenhaal’s fitness routine. «The guy does everything. He’s just always looking for that stimulus.»
Walsh, who has worked with several Hollywood stars, has an eight-year history of training Gyllenhaal, which might just make him the world’s foremost authority regarding the actor’s physical condition, and it’s clear that the trainer feels that his diverse sports interests served him well during his preparation for the «Road House» remake.
During his interview with Wired, Zack Snyder stated that he had a very clear idea about how he wanted Wonder Woman to be depicted in the DCEU. «I wanted a Wonder Woman that was not necessarily naive. Not necessarily, like, a virgin,» he said. To illustrate his point, the filmmaker discussed a photo in his office of Wonder Woman holding several severed heads.
When Snyder was casting 2016’s «Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,» he seemingly knew that Gal Gadot was the perfect actor to play Wonder Woman. However, it’s worth noting that Gadot’s version of Diana never became quite as ruthless as the one depicted in Snyder’s office photo. Instead, he and «Wonder Woman» director Patty Jenkins ultimately turned her into a hero who isn’t naive when it comes to sex or violence, but who also isn’t fully prepared for the horrors of the mortal world. In the years following the release of «Wonder Woman,» Diana became a formidable beacon of hope within the DCEU.
That may not have been what Snyder originally had in mind for the character, but DCEU fans seemed to react positively to his, Gadot, and Jenkins’ combined take on the iconic hero. While Snyder’s overall Wonder Woman plans would have likely made DC Comics fans furious, there’s no denying his role in shaping the franchise’s version of the character.
Of course, like combat aircraft in real life, many ships in the «Star Wars» franchise also have ejector seats. For X-wings specifically, this idea was explored heavily in multiple books and comics, many of which are now considered Legends (non-canon). In one instance, it is revealed that an X-wing pilot’s suit has a pressure sensor that can activate a miniature magnetic shield; this would help them maintain a reliable air supply. While this is undoubtedly a downright necessity in a world where intense space battles are a constant, this may not have been much help for Porkins.
Had the Rebel pilot had such tech to rely on, he was still in the least favorable position possible. TIE fighters weren’t far off from entering the battle, and it’s unlikely any other Rebel pilot would have had the time to «pick up» their friend. So, had Porkins somehow succeeded in ejecting, he would have possibly found himself floating around and surrounded by enemy turrets and ships. And, as all fans know, the clock was ticking; that Death Star was going to go boom. Even in the hopeful world of «Star Wars,» this is simply an awful and terrifying situation to be in.
Personal mag shields or not, other chapters in the «Star Wars» franchise have shown just how horrifying it is to pilot a starship in space, especially during a dogfight. The prequels and «The Clone Wars» series is filled with clone fighter pilots letting out bone-chilling screams as they are sucked out into the cold void of space. So, Biggs telling Porkins to eject may not have been the soundest piece of advice. However, he deserves some slack. The pressure was on. They were fighting for the freedom of an entire galaxy, after all!
The New York Times headquarters in Manhattan. The newspaper’s lawsuit this week against Microsoft and OpenAI asks a federal judge to order the destruction of all AI large language models trained on its copyrighted material. (GeekWire Photo / Kurt Schlosser)
“Who can afford to do professional work for nothing?”
Bill Gates wrote those words in a landmark open letter in February 1976, calling on personal computer hobbyists to stop stealing software produced by the scrappy young “Micro-Soft” team without paying for it.
Five decades later, the same sentiment sums up The New York Times Co.’s lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI this week. The suit alleges that the companies wrongly used vast amounts of copyrighted material from the newspaper to train the large language models that power ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence models.
Microsoft and OpenAI “seek to free-ride on The Times’s massive investment in its journalism by using it to build substitutive products without permission or payment,” the Times Co. alleges in the introduction to the suit.
In other words, a company that built a technology empire on intellectual property rights now faces allegations that it’s flouting them in pursuit of its next phase of innovation and growth.
That irony is one of a few thoughts that came to mind while reading through the 69-page complaint filed by The Times Co. against Microsoft and OpenAI in federal court in New York City on Wednesday.
With the lawsuit, the Times Co. is drawing a legal line in the sand for the new era of AI. In addition to pursuing unspecified financial damages, the suit seeks an injunction against Microsoft and OpenAI to halt the alleged practice of using the Times’ copyrighted material, and a court order for the destruction “of all GPT or other LLM models and training sets” that incorporate its copyrighted work.
The lawsuit also delves into the implications of AI for journalism and democracy.
“Producing Times journalism is a creative and deeply human endeavor,” the suit says, adding later, “If The Times and other news organizations cannot produce and protect their independent journalism, there will be a vacuum that no computer or artificial intelligence can fill.”
The claims cover not just the alleged use of New York Times articles to train large language models, but also answers provided by ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing Chat to users. Several examples in the suit show how different prompts cause GPT-4, ChatGPT, and Bing Chat to reproduce large chunks of text, verbatim, from the newspaper’s articles.
An exhibit in the New York Times Co. lawsuit, with verbatim text in red. (Via U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.)
In other cases, the suit cites instances in which the AI attributes information to the Times incorrectly.
In one example, the suit says, Bing Chat “confidently purported to reproduce the sixth paragraph” from a widely cited 2015 New York Times article, Inside Amazon: Wrestling Big Ideas in a Bruising Workplace.
“Had Bing Chat actually done so, it would have committed copyright infringement,” the suit says. “But in this instance, Bing Chat completely fabricated a paragraph, including specific quotes attributed to Steve Forbes’s daughter Moira Forbes, that appear nowhere in The Times article in question or anywhere else on the internet.”
“In AI parlance, this is called a ‘hallucination.’ In plain English, it’s misinformation,” the suit says, generally referencing these types of instances.
This is one of numerous suits that promise to lay the groundwork for U.S. courts to establish precedents that could define the economics of artificial intelligence. Media consultant Dick Tofel told the New York Times in its own coverage of the lawsuit that a Supreme Court ruling on the issue is “essentially inevitable.”
Here is OpenAI’s statement.
“We respect the rights of content creators and owners and are committed to working with them to ensure they benefit from AI technology and new revenue models. Our ongoing conversations with the New York Times have been productive and moving forward constructively, so we are surprised and disappointed with this development. We’re hopeful that we will find a mutually beneficial way to work together, as we are doing with many other publishers.”
On the off chance that Microsoft tries to distance itself from OpenAI, the suit makes extensive use of comments from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to illustrate its instrumental role in developing and distributing the technologies in question — including statements he made to reassure investors and customers when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was briefly ousted from the role in November.
Microsoft has not commented on the suit as of Thursday morning Pacific time.
If you’re curious about which other «X-Men» mainstays we might expect to see in «Marvel’s Wolverine,» a casting list was also leaked — and if it’s correct, fans will likely be blown away. Featuring characters who have been unexplored in previous adaptations like Mister Sinister and Omega Red, it showcases plenty to get excited about.
The list reads as follows (via DotEsports):
Mister Sinister: Troy Baker
Sabretooth: Brett Gipson
Mystique: Nicole Pacent
Sasquatch: Jeff Nordlin
Lady Deathstrike: Jolean Kim
Sunfire: Jonathan Toshiobu Tanigaki
Omega Red: Raphael Korkhill
Callisto: Debra Wilson
Tyger Tiger: Kelly Hu
Davina: Pragathi Guruprasad
Leech: Noga Wind
The leak also states — if the details are to be trusted — that Jean Grey will be in the game as a playable character, portrayed by Kirzia Bajos. While there are likely thousands of fans who are thrilled to have all this new information about the upcoming «Wolverine» game, many others have sympathized with Insomniac over the leak.
The studio itself posted a statement regarding the cyberattack and leaks on X (formerly Twitter), writing, «This experience has been extremely distressing for us. We want everyone to enjoy the games we develop as intended and as our players deserve.» The message added, «However, like Logan … Insomniac is resilient. Marvel’s Wolverine continues as planned. The game is in early production and will no doubt greatly evolve throughout development, as do all our plans.»
While Zoe Saldana’s T-Mobile commercial appearance will likely have fans reminiscing about her iconic MCU role as Gamora, it’s far from her only major franchise part. The end of the 2000s saw the performer make a splash with two massive blockbusters.
She first played Nyota Uhura in the 2009 J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek reboot, an iconic role portrayed by the late Nichelle Nichols in the earliest Star Trek media. Saladana reprised the part of the Starfleet officer-turned-lieutenant in 2013’s «Star Trek Into Darkness» and 2016’s «Star Trek Beyond.» She also voiced Uhura for the character’s subsequent video game appearances.
2009 would also see Saldana establish herself as a box office force to be reckoned with in James Cameron’s «Avatar.» In the original installment and its 2022 follow-up, «Avatar: The Way of Water,» she portrays the fiery Na’vi warrior Neytiri, who intensely defends her home and people. Each film grossed over $2 billion at the worldwide box office, which, combined with the massive amount brought in by Saldana’s MCU entries, has helped her become the second-highest-grossing lead actress of all time, behind only fellow MCU alum Scarlett Johansson. Along with these memorable roles, Saldana has also starred in other fan-favorite flicks such as «Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,» «The Terminal,» and «The Book of Life.»
Some fans may find it surprising that quite possibly the most well-known part of «Home Alone» was little more than quirky improvisation. It elevated the film to a new level of iconography, remaining a pop culture fixture often seen during the holiday season even over 30 years after the original film’s release. However, the star who made it happen doesn’t hold it in the same limelight.
While on «The Ellen Show,» Macaulay Culkin admitted that he doesn’t watch «Home Alone» very often, saying that viewing the film only makes him recall what was happening that day on set. As can be imagined, fans who meet the actor often want him to recreate the iconic expression he originated from the movie. When asked what his response to these requests is, Culkin said, «No … I’ve already been there, done that already, I’m 37 now OK? OK, mom?»
It may be disappointing to some that we may never see Culkin reenact this famous scene. Even a 2018 Google commercial that saw the actor mirror several classic «Home Alone» moments didn’t see him do the scream while getting ready in the bathroom. But as with so many of the best-improvised movie moments, it’s unlikely that Culkin can recreate the same spontaneity that helped make the original scene so unforgettable.
According to Brie Larson, her Marvel heroine isn’t interested in more power because she’s already dealing with too much as it is. Instead, Larson believes that Carol Danvers needs more friends and peace in her life. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Larson said, «I think there is still so much inside of Carol. I feel like getting to be on this team just cracked her open in a way that she hadn’t been and I really loved that for her … I just loved her letting the shoulders drop a little bit, and not need to feel like all the responsibility was on her, so I think that there is just so much more to go.»
While the ideas of responsibility and power tend to latch themselves to a different superhero — despite Spider-Man borrowing his famous motto from another superhero — the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s interpretation of Captain Marvel deals with both in heavy measure. This is best represented by what she says to Rhodes (Don Cheadle) in «Avengers: Endgame.» When Tony accuses her of abandoning Earth, she says, «There are a lot of other planets in the universe, and unfortunately, they didn’t have you guys.» The Avengers protect their home planet, it’s true, but she protects every corner of space that permits her presence.
That’s a lot of territory for one person, even one person who can restart a literal sun. It’s no wonder Larson would rather see Carol get more moments with friends like Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau.
Citing new ordinances recently passed in Seattle that aim to help gig workers, the Target-owned delivery service Shipt informed customers this week that it will pause operations in the city starting Jan. 10.
Birmingham, Ala.-based Shipt works like same-day delivery companies such as DoorDash and Instacart, employing gig workers to pick and/or deliver groceries and other items. Target acquired Shipt in 2017 for $550 million.
In an emailed statement to GeekWire, Shipt said action taken by the Seattle City Council will impose significant operational challenges that would impact its ability to be compliant and continue providing value and service.
The company said it has repeatedly expressed its concerns to the City over the policies.
The Seattle Times first reported the news.
The ordinances aimed at app-based delivery platforms include a 10-cent per-order fee for online deliveries in Seattle starting in 2025, approved by the Council in November. The revenue generated by the fee will help pay for the implementation and enforcement of the City’s “PayUp” gig worker protection laws in Seattle. One law sets minimum wage policies, another is related to regulations for the worker deactivation process.
Seattle Councilmember Lisa Herbold, who is departing her seat at the end of the year, was lead sponsor of the bill, CB 120706, that imposes the 10-cent fee.
“These vulnerable workers in this under-regulated industry are calling out for us to put our money where our mouth is and fund the enforcement of the protections we have approved as a council,” Herbold previously said.
Herbold said last month that the average customer will pay an additional $5.20 per year if companies pass the fee to customers — “which they don’t have to do,” she said during a Nov. 22 council meeting.
In a statement to GeekWire last month, Instacart said the bill “forces residents to foot the bill for an ill-advised ordinance amid record inflation and tightened budgets.”
GeekWire reached out to Herbold and the Council for additional comment on Shipt’s decision and we’ll update this story when we hear back. Update: Here’s a comment Herbold shared with GeekWire:
“Shipt had more than 18 months to figure out how to comply with the minimum wage requirements. While we hope they will comply with the law, the era of app-based companies paying workers less than the minimum wage is over. I’m proud to have co-sponsored this legislation. Seattle has become a national model in app-worker protections. New York City followed in our footsteps, adopting a similar law earlier this year.”
— Seattle councilmember Lisa Herbold
News of Shipt’s pause riled some commenters in the r/Seattle community on Reddit:
“Really upset about this — I’m a university student without a car and I’ve been using Shipt to get groceries delivered as there isn’t a store near me.” — PicklePotomous
“They haven’t figured out how they can successfully under pay their workers and over pay their executives here so they are shutting down.” — Slackerdc
“Apparently service is only available where the company can profit off the backs of sub-minimum wage delivery workers, and/or avoid reasonable labor standards by delivering with contractors.” — Sea_Tack
Shipt operates its membership-based platform across the U.S., making deliveries from stores including Target, Petco, QFC, Fred Meyer, Safeway and more. At the end of 2022, Shipt was partnering with 200 different retailers — a much smaller operation compared to Instacart, which says it partners with 1,400 retailers.
Shipt cut 3.5% of its filled positions and eliminated many job openings during layoffs in October, citing a dramatically changed business and industry landscape.
While Scott Leva’s performance as Spider-Man in «Spider-Man Super-Fit Youth Fitness System» may not rank among the character’s most iconic film adaptations, there’s no denying that the actor adds to the video’s, well, interesting quality. It gives fans a window into what could have been, as Leva was originally set to don the blue-and-red spandex for Spidey’s big-screen debut.
The first attempt at a Spider-Man movie started in 1985 when low-budget studio Cannon Films purchased the rights from Marvel for $225,000. Screenwriter Leslie Stevens was tasked with helming the script, with producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus looking to make the project a «Wolfman»-esque horror venture that would have been directed by «The Texas Chainsaw Massacre» filmmaker Tobe Hooper. While the team had high hopes that Tom Cruise would star as the titular superhero, actor-stuntman Leva was the more likely candidate, given his prior appearances as the character, including posing on the cover of «The Amazing Spider-Man #262.» Following harsh budget slashing and further rewrites, Cannon folded and was acquired by Pathe Communications. Golan, still possessing the rights, still tried getting the film made, but the license expired after financing woes kept stalling the project’s process.
As for Leva, while his Spider-Man film never came off the ground, it wouldn’t be the performer’s last rodeo with Marvel. Far from that, as he made crucial contributions as a stunt coordinator for Marvel films and shows such as «X-Men» (where, in a bSAIDD CRUZ reel, he wears a Spider-Man costume) and «Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.» Additionally, he has been on the stunt team for other fan-favorite projects such as «A Series of Unfortunate Events,» «Everybody Hates Chris,» «Insidious,» and 2011’s «The Muppets.»
Of course, how effective this is in «Leave the World Behind» hinges heavily on how convincing the deer are. Fortunately, Sam Esmail had three exceptional crew members who helped to bring the scenes with the animals to life seamlessly. «It’s a testament to Chris Harvey, my VFX supervisor; Dione [Wood], my VFX producer; and Alec [Hart], who’s on the VFX team,» he explained.
«They knew that we wanted to make the deer feel as real as possible, and they were on set,» the «Leave the World Behind» director went on. «We had mock-ups there so that the actors had something to play off of, and we made sure that the lighting on the fur [was] as accurate as possible.»
Those painstaking details go a long way to making the growing threat of the deer more frightening and unsettling as the film goes on, and they also add to the growing mystery that powers the events of «Leave the World Behind.» While there are plenty of other aspects of the movie that are likely to have viewers squirming with anxiety and dread, the film’s eerie wildlife is definitely one of the most memorable parts of the Netflix thriller.

Moses J. Moseley didn’t play a major part in the «Hunger Games» movie franchise -– his role as a District 11 Citizen was uncredited in the second film, «Catching Fire.» However, the former «Walking Dead» actor still made headlines when news of his death broke on February 2, 2022, exactly eight years after Philip Seymour Hoffman’s passing. The 31-year-old South Carolina-born performer was found dead on January 16, 2022, near a bridge in Stockbridge, Georgia. The cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound and he was presumed to have died by suicide.
Moseley’s manager confirmed his passing in a statement that read, «He was loved by everyone who met him. Such a bright light in everyone’s eyes. Moses was an amazing person and if you had the opportunity to meet him he would have made your day amazing. He was very talented, he was a great friend, the kind you could call for anything. He was always excited about life and working in the entertainment business.»
Moseley made his film debut in a short release in 2009 and was best known for appearing in six episodes of «The Walking Dead» between 2012 and 2015. The show noted his passing on Twitter, writing, «Our thoughts and prayers are with our #TWDFamily member Moses J. Moseley.»

Funding to PNW startups fell nearly 60% year-over-year in 2023. Data from GeekWire’s funding list.
Tech startup investments continued to retreat in 2023 as venture capitalists tightened their belts and companies trimmed costs amid uncertainty about the broader economy.

Rachel Zegler’s character, Lucy Gray, may exist as the anti-Katniss, but it’s intriguing to compare and contrast her with Katniss, especially in how the former may have influenced the latter. Francis Lawrence told Buzzfeed that another Katniss moment in «The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes» wasn’t in the script but also became a significant moment.
Lawrence explained, «Katniss had that sort of curtsy bow at the Reaping, and it was not written in the book or the script that Lucy Gray does this. I came up with the idea with Rachel for her to do it on the day.» Katniss bows in «The Hunger Games» when the people of the Capitol ignore her during her archery demonstration, so after firing an arrow at an apple, she bows sarcastically. Lucy Gray has a similar demeanor for her bow; both women almost make fun of the elite for treating the entire ordeal as entertainment when it’s literally a matter of life and death.
Even though Katniss may have never met Lucy Gray, it’s possible she became the stuff of legends, as Lawrence concluded, «I just thought that’s a kind of cool idea to think that Katniss had heard through generations that there was a girl in the 10th Hunger Games that could’ve done this thing, and she’s doing something she’s heard about.» After all, Lucy Gray wrote «The Hanging Tree,» which lasted through generations, so who’s to say members of District 12 didn’t also pass down the full story of how the folk singer became a champion?

Sam Wilson starts his MCU path as just Sam Wilson and never gains any superpowers. He gets by with his courageous nature, experience, and equipment. Knowing this, Red Hulk is a very tough adversary for him due to sheer power disparity alone. However, should these rumors be true, Sam’s superhero status may also be at stake.

If Sam loses them in «Captain America: Brave New World,» it’ll be a massive blow for the character … at least, assuming that Shuri (Letitia Wright) isn’t willing to provide a spare set. Additionally, Captain America’s reputation revolves heavily around stars-and-stripes heroics. Regardless of how corrupt or cruel Ross might be, physically fighting the United States president doesn’t sound like an ideal way to maintain Captain America’s iconic status in the public eye.
As such, the «Captain America: Brave New World» scoops suggest that Sam might compromise his superhero identity by the time the movie ends. Then again, doing the right thing and standing up against insurmountable odds regardless of personal cost is an extremely Captain America thing to do. So, if anything, such sacrifices might make Sam even better in his new job.
Kurt Johnstad’s perspective on critics makes sense when looking at his filmography. He wrote another Zack Snyder movie, «300,» which fared better on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 61% from professional reviewers. That movie was a big hit, taking in over $450 million at the global box office. Even his lesser-known works have overcome frosty receptions, like «Act of Valor,» which has a 28% on the Tomatometer but took in $82 million worldwide against a budget of only $12 million. As such, he’s correct in that audiences may seek out a movie even if critics don’t necessarily like it.
Elsewhere in the interview, he talks about how «Rebel Moon» being an original property gives it value, «Zack is trying to do something very different here that really hasn’t been done in a long time. This isn’t an IP. This is an original story. It’s being created by hundreds, if not thousands of technicians. That’s a really bold thing.» Snyder is probably one of the few filmmakers who can get an original story of this scale off the ground. If audiences want more original science fiction, it may be worth checking out «Rebel Moon» regardless of preconceived notions.
Johnstad concluded by making his case for why «Rebel Moon» is worth watching: «It’s a magnificent looking film. But I think that at the core of it, it’s got emotion. There’s an emotional engine and a currency that runs through the film that I think works.» While the movie didn’t work for most professional critics, their tunes could change for the director’s cut or the sequel that fleshes out the characters more.
