It takes a character like Outlander’s Geillis Duncan to bring mystery and intrigue to a narrative which could arguably become somewhat predictable and dry, without the edginess the jagged beauty brings to the plot. She’s complex and unpredictable but has many times been caught in the snares created by her own imperfect humanity. At the same time, she rises to heights of unexpected nobility, such as in the witchcraft trial, where she risks all to exonerate her friend, and through her confessions pointing all the fingers towards herself....

In a statement, the company explained that even though they managed to “block” the attack, employee information dating back to 1998 was compromised. The employee files included standard information (name, address, phone number, date of birth, race, disability status, and more) as well as sensitive information (Social Security numbers, bank account information, health insurance plans, income amount, and disciplinary notes). Breach notification letters were sent to anyone who worked for the company between July 1, 2010 and December 12, 2021, while those employed from January 1, 1998 and June 30, 2010 were only provided with a notice on the company website about options for support....

While the delightfully macabre Showtime series Penny Dreadful lasted only three seasons, the haunting beauty of its elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen still clings to us like a lost spirit unable to cross over. The show followed a group of uniquely-skilled individuals all residing in 19th century London as they tracked down the strange and supernatural in its foggy streets and sordid sewers. Its lead costume designer was Gabriella Pescucci, who won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for another beautiful period piece, Martin Scorsese’s Age of Innocence in 1992....

Last Update: January 31, 2020 With the 92nd Academy Award nominations now announced, we’re taking a look at Best Actor and ranking the contenders to see who’s most likely to win.

The 2020 Oscar nominations are now out and, as always, there are a few snubs and surprises in its midst. Every awards season, it seems that the conversation regarding the Academy Awards only grows more and more vexing; while, on the one hand, the industry appears to be making steps in the right direction in terms of its diversity and inclusion (and not to mention the fact that its leading figures are calling for more action on this front); on the other, the people Hollywood then chooses to honor doesn’t seem to reflect that goal....

Over three years ago, Panic introduced an app that quickly gained popularity, especially from pro users. Called Status Board, the iOS app displayed a host of information, all in a modular, easy to follow interface. Today, however, Panic announced that it is discontinuing development of Status Board. In a blog post, Panic explains its reasoning for discontinuing Status Board. One contributing factor, the company writes, is that the app is targeted mainly towards pro users and there’s simply not a large pro market on iOS:...

I had the opportunity to talk to a lot of people at Macworld who had the exact opposite experience. They’d come from such places as Philadelphia (see #2), San Diego, and even Chicago where their iPhones actually behaved like … phones. Trying to make a call at Macworld expo was comical. There was no shortage of attendees screaming into their phones, repeating themselves over and over and pausing to look at their screens to see if the call was still connected....

Parks and Recreation had a lot of in-your-face characters, but none of them can compare to Craig Middlebrooks. Played by the hilarious Billy Eichner, Craig is part of the Eagleton Parks Department and is the only member of that team to stay on in Pawnee. Craig is a passionate character and he often manifests that passion in the form of overdramatic yelling. He easily could have been an extremely annoying character but is saved thanks to Eichner’s performance and some hilarious one-liners....

The clones make a promise in the latest Orphan Black trailer. It’s been an insane road for both the characters and fans of Orphan Black. From the first moments, when Sarah stares right in the eyes of a woman who looks exactly like her – moments before the woman committed suicide – there have been non-stop questions and mysteries. Even discovering that she is a clone and meeting some of her “Sestras” gave Sarah far more questions than answers....
