Mortal Kombat Reboot Has a Dramatic Reimagining of Iconic Techno Syndrome Theme Song
Even if you have never played a game of Mortal Kombat in your life, chances are you have heard the iconic theme song of the 1995 live-action film adaptation of the series at least once, The Immortals' "Techno Syndrome". For many fans, that song is the perfect representation of the screaming awesomeness of the entire Mortal Kombat franchise. The upcoming live-action movie based on the game has a new score by famed composer Benjamin Wallfisch, which, according to director Simon McQuoid, features a dramatic reimagining of Techno Syndrome. "[Wallfisch] came in knowing that, and then we started talking about the respect for the fans and the material. And he said, 'Do you think there's anything we can do with the distinct music?' And I said, 'Well, yeah, I think through this whole process, what we're doing here is we're taking material that's well-known and we're moving it and we're elevating it.

Women in Love: ‘The World to Come’ Is Filled With the Wild Excitement of Romance
You smell like biscuits. Of all the details comprising Tallie and Abigail’s first kiss in Mona Fastvold’s The World to Come , this reaction, which comes from Abigail, may be the most surprising and disarming — moreso, even, than the fact that it’s a kiss between two married women in 19th-century America. It’s a covert but not wholly unexpected gesture between wives whose passions seem only to spring to life while their husbands are away. It’s a surprising line, in part, for containing so much. You smell like biscuits: like comfort, like domestic life, like women’s work, like the familiar. Like — stripped of the implicit insult — a wife.

Adam West, Straight-Faced Star of TV’s ‘Batman,’ Dies at 88
The actor struggled to find work after the campy superhero series was canceled, but he rebounded with voiceover gigs, including one as the mayor of Quahog on 'Family Guy.' Adam West, the ardent actor who managed to keep his tongue in cheek while wearing the iconic cowl of the Caped Crusader on the classic 1960s series Batman , has died. He was 88. West, who was at the pinnacle of pop culture after Batman debuted in January 1966, only to see his career fall victim to typecasting after the ABC show flamed out, died Friday night in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, a family spokesperson said. West died peacefully surrounded by his family and is survived by his wife, Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
