Marvel’s Thunderbolts Movie Gets Exciting News from Test Screening

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

A new report reveals how audiences are reacting to Thunderbolts* test screenings, and it appears to be good news for fans looking forward to the next Marvel movie.A couple months back, David Harbour (who plays Red Guardian in Thunderbolts*) shared that internal test screenings were garnering positive reactions, adding that “it’s going to really surprise people.”With that in mind, more positive feedback to test screenings does not come as a complete surprise. Still, it is exciting news for those looking forward to the movie’s release in May.Thunderbolts* Test Screenings Seeing Positive Feedback
Marvel StudiosAccording to industry insider Jeff Sneider, audiences are reacting fairly positively to Thunderbolts* test screenings.He said that he “heard” that the film “is actually pretty good,” but that Disney is struggling to “sell it” to audiences:”I’ve heard that ‘Thunderbolts*’ is actually pretty good and that Disney just has no idea how to sell it.”Sneider also told fans to expect to see more of the members of the Thunderbolts, as well as the “New Avengers and the Fantastic Four,” in upcoming projects — a statement backed up by the fact that most of the team has been confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday:”I’m told that the Thunderbolts/New Avengers and the Fantastic Four are going to get big minutes in future MCU movies, as they’ll be the characters who start popping up all over the place in random ways.”It is worth noting that these reports come from anonymous sources and may not be entirely reliable and that opinions can change between test screenings.For instance, in early March, Sneider said he heard this summer’s Superman movie was “terrible.”Another scooper encouraged fans to “disregard” this, and wait for reactions once the movie was finished — which is presumably the stage of testing Thunderbolts* is currently in. Proving this point, a couple weeks later, Sneider shared that someone else told him they “liked it.”All this to say, it is unknown how many people saw the test screenings, and who shared the information with Sneider leading him to this conclusion about Thunderbolts*.How Is Marvel Advertising Thunderbolts* So Far?Thunderbolts* certainly does not have the recognizability factor of upcoming films like The Fantastic Four or Avengers: Doomsday, so it does make sense that the movie is proving tricky to advertise.So far, Marvel has been leaning toward more self-aware meta-commentary in advertising Thunderbolts*. For instance, the “Absolute Cinema” trailer highlights several beloved non-MCU movies that members of the Thunderbolts* creative team have been working on.Plus, the “Absolute Cinema” title is likely a reference to a meme featuring Martin Scorsese and those words. The photo in the meme came from an infamous article wherein Scorsese argued that Marvel movies were, in short, not real cinema.In a similar vein, an early public synopsis for the movie referred to the team as “the MCU’s least anticipated band of misfits,” and claimed that artists “sold out” by being involved in the movie:”Marvel Studios and a crew of indie veterans who sold out present ‘Thunderbolts*,’ an irreverent team-up featuring depressed assassin Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) alongside the MCU’s least anticipated band of misfits.”Given this (and the meaning behind the asterisk in Thunderbolts* being to direct people to a disclaimer saying, “The Avengers are not available,”) it seems the movie truly is leaning into that self-aware energy, rather than taking itself too seriously.It remains to be seen if that will be enough to attract audiences and how Marvel will approach additional promotion for the movie as its May 2 release date approaches.

Unscripted moment in The Godfather led to one of film’s most iconic scenes

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

An iconic scene in the hit Hollywood classic, The Godfather, was an unscripted moment that was captured on camera by chance.The famous scene is well-remembered by fans of the film, with many pointing to it as one of the most iconic moments in the movie. But the filming of the scene was sudden, and not even star Marlon Brando had expected it.Brando would go on to win the Academy Award for his role in the film – but did not attend the awards ceremony.His work on the film is considered one of the best performances in history. And while there were many moments that relied on his incredible skill as an actor, this part of the film appeared to be a completely random chance.It was thanks to Coppola’s instinct as to what fit the scene that the moment feels that much better, saying he did not say a word to Brando when the chance encounter occurred.The cat, which can be seen in the lap of Brando’s Don Corleone, was not meant to be there. Apparently, a stray had wandered onto the set and eventually found itself starring in one of the biggest movies in Hollywood history.Coppola recalled the moment he decided to place the cat in the scene – and the disastrous results of filming the cat for the first time.He said: “The cat in Marlon’s hands was not planned for. I saw the cat running around the studio, and took it and put it in his hands without a word.” According to Insider, the production team could not hear a word Brando said during the take as the cat was purring so loudly.Fans were thrilled by the little detail, while others say the cat had taken to Brando in-between takes and the decision to use it was eventually made.An r/TodayILearned subreddit user suggested both Brando and director Coppola were fond of the cat. They wrote: “I had heard the same story, but the cat wasn’t just any stray. The director and Marlon had both taken a liking to the cat, who had been hanging around the set for days. Then when the scene was being shot the cat jumped up on Brando’s lap and he just rolled with it. Super classy, makes the scene so much more alive.”The scene in question, between Brando’s Don Corleone and Salvatore Corsitto’s Bonasera, has gone down in movie history as one of the all-time greatest moments.Comments left on a YouTube video of the scene were also delighted with the cat’s presence, as some suggested the feline had no idea it was about to make movie history.One comment reads: “The cat has no idea he’s in the greatest film of all time.” Another joked: “The cat never broke character, stunning self-control.” A third added: “That cat gave one hell of a performance.”It comes as people are only just realising nobody utters one specific word in The Godfather. You learn something new every day!

Scientists record first evidence of shark making noise

Science and Health

Researchers have recorded what they believe to be the first evidence of sharks making noise, according to newly published research.The scientists recorded New Zealand rig sharks (Musteluslenticulatus), small sharks found in coastal waters all around the country, producing clicks when handled underwater, in what they believe is the “first documented case of active sound production by a shark.”Ten juvenile rig sharks – five female and five male – were used for the study over the 11-month study. The sounds were recorded in an experimental plastic tank set up to record the sounds.The researchers, led by Carolin Nieder from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US, found that on average “the sharks produced significantly more clicks” in the first 10 seconds of handling compared to the following 10 seconds.They believe that the forceful snapping together of the rig shark’s flattened teeth is the likely source of the sound.They base the hypothesis on the rig shark’s plated teeth morphology as well as the type of noise produced, specifically its short duration (48 milliseconds) and high peak frequencies (2.4-18.5 kHz),but said that more research is needed to confirm this.The biologists said that the purpose of the clicking sound “remains uncertain,” but it may be produced “in response to disturbance or distress.” Further behavioural research will be required to investigate this.The research was published in the journal Royal Society Open Science. —dpa

Director Vishal Furia critiques Indian horror films for lacking depth; says, “Nobody wants to talk about the art and craft of making horror”

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

Although Vishal Furia started his Hindi directorial career with a crime thriller, he has carved out a reputation for himself as a horror specialist. His earlier film Chhorii received praise from both critics and audiences, and he’s now returning with its sequel, Chhorii 2. In a conversation with Hindustan Times ahead of the sequel’s release, Vishal discussed Chhorii and the state of the horror genre in Indian cinema.Director Vishal Furia critiques Indian horror films for lacking depth; says, “Nobody wants to talk about the art and craft of making horror”Vishal shared that Chhorii 2 came about naturally. “Of course, with the part 1 doing well, there are obvious benefits of doing a sequel. But I wanted the story to evolve on its own and be ready to be told,” he stated.Chhorii is one of the rare Indian horror films in recent years to receive widespread approval, even from hardcore horror fans. Reflecting on the shortcomings of Indian horror, Vishal said, “We have not done good horror because nobody wants to talk about the art and craft of making horror.” Commenting on the overuse of jumpscares in Indian horror, he added, “Jumpscares are an interesting tool, but I believe an eerie atmosphere works better. I remember watching A Nightmare on Elm Street and Freddy (Kreuger, the film’s antagonist) stayed with me for years. Slow burn always has a larger shelf life.”When asked whether he feels Indian filmmakers have done justice to the horror genre, Vishal stated, “We have hardly even scraped the surface. We have so much more to tell in terms of the folklore, mythology of traditional horror. We have social evils in abundance and now the technological evils will come up. India is a very different country. We are a different audience than the West. There is lots more to be done.”Chhorii 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2021 film Chhorii, is directed by Vishal Furia and features Nushrratt Bharuccha alongside Soha Ali Khan.

Bill Gates: Education, family, business and the journey of visionary who transformed Technology and Philanthropy

Technology

AdvertisementBill Gates stands as a towering figure in the realms of technology and philanthropy. As the co-founder of Microsoft, he played a pivotal role in bringing personal computing to the masses. Beyond his technological contributions, Gates has dedicated much of his wealth and time to addressing global challenges through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. His journey from a curious child in Seattle to a global influencer offers insights into innovation, leadership, and the power of giving back.
Early life and education: How Bill Gates’ childhood sparked a digital revolution
Born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, William Henry Gates III—widely known today as Bill Gates—was immersed in a world that encouraged curiosity, competition, and intellectual growth from the very beginning. Gates’ early life and education laid the foundation for his future as a tech visionary, software pioneer, and global philanthropist.
Advertisement Family background and early influence
Bill Gates was raised in an upper-middle-class family. His father, William H. Gates Sr., was a prominent lawyer, and his mother, Mary Maxwell Gates, served on several corporate boards, including that of First Interstate BancSystem and United Way. Their deep involvement in law, business, and philanthropy provided young Bill with diverse perspectives and early exposure to leadership.
From a young age, Gates displayed an insatiable appetite for learning. He was known to read encyclopedias cover to cover and exhibited a particular knack for mathematics and logic. His parents noticed his intellectual prowess and sought to cultivate it, ultimately enrolling him in Lakeside School, a private preparatory school that emphasized critical thinking and academic excellence.
Lakeside and the discovery of computing
It was at Lakeside School that Gates first encountered the computer—a rare opportunity in the late 1960s. The school had acquired a Teletype Model 33 ASR terminal and access to a GE computer through a fundraising effort by the Mothers’ Club. Fascinated by the machine, Gates, along with classmates Paul Allen, Kent Evans, and Ric Weiland, began exploring programming through BASIC, a language they used to create simple games and utilities.
Gates quickly became obsessed with the logic of programming, often skipping math classes to tinker with code. He and his friends even hacked the school’s scheduling software to place themselves in favorable classes—a move that revealed both his ingenuity and rebellious spirit.

“I chose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” — Bill Gates

A pivotal friendship and early projects
Bill’s partnership with Paul Allen began at Lakeside, marking the start of a lifelong professional relationship. The duo founded a company called Traf-O-Data, which analyzed traffic data using a portable computer they developed. Although the business was only modestly successful, it taught Gates valuable lessons about product development and business management.
In 1973, Gates scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT and enrolled at Harvard University, intending to follow in his father’s legal footsteps. However, his heart was never truly in law. Even while at Harvard, Gates spent more time in the computer lab than in lecture halls. He famously dropped out in 1975, a decision that would soon prove to be pivotal for the tech world.

“Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.” — Bill Gates

The birth of Microsoft: From dorm room to digital dominance
The story of how Microsoft came to life is a defining chapter in the rise of the modern technology industry. It’s a story of timing, risk-taking, and relentless ambition. What began as a small idea between two friends—Bill Gates and Paul Allen—evolved into a global empire that transformed personal computing forever.
The opportunity that changed everything
In late 1974, Gates and Allen came across an issue of Popular Electronics magazine that featured the Altair 8800, the world’s first commercially available microcomputer. Instinctively, they recognized the future—microcomputers would soon become a household norm, and they wanted to be at the center of this revolution.
The duo contacted MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems), the company behind Altair, and claimed they had developed a BASIC interpreter for the new machine. In truth, they hadn’t written a single line of code—but the company was interested. Over the next few weeks, Gates and Allen worked tirelessly to deliver what they promised. Their program worked flawlessly on the first try, and Microsoft was born in 1975.

“If you are born poor it’s not your mistake, but if you die poor it’s your mistake.” — Bill Gates

Naming and early growth
The name Microsoft came from a blend of “microcomputer” and “software,” and it officially registered as a company in New Mexico, close to MITS headquarters. Gates and Allen developed and licensed software for early computers like the Altair and soon caught the attention of larger players in the industry.
By 1979, the company had moved its operations to Bellevue, Washington, and began expanding. Microsoft quickly earned a reputation for delivering high-quality software that was tailored to the needs of evolving hardware manufacturers.
The IBM deal and rise of MS-DOS
Microsoft’s big break came in 1980, when IBM approached the company for an operating system for its upcoming personal computer. Gates made a bold move: instead of developing an OS from scratch, Microsoft bought the rights to a system called QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) from Seattle Computer Products and modified it into what became known as MS-DOS.
Gates negotiated a clever licensing deal—Microsoft would retain the rights to license MS-DOS to other manufacturers. This decision turned out to be revolutionary, as it allowed Microsoft to dominate the PC market as IBM clones began to flourish.

“It’s fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.” — Bill Gates

Windows, the GUI breakthrough
As competition grew, Microsoft continued to innovate. In 1985, the company launched Windows 1.0, a graphical user interface (GUI) that ran on top of MS-DOS. Although not an immediate success, Windows laid the groundwork for future versions that would become household names—Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and beyond.
Gates’ strategic vision was to make computing accessible and user-friendly. He wanted every home and office to have a PC powered by Microsoft software, and his team executed that vision with remarkable consistency.

“Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.” — Bill Gates

By the late 1990s, Microsoft had become the undisputed leader in the software industry, and Gates was officially the richest man in the world.
Legacy and influence: Bill Gates’ global impact beyond Microsoft
When discussing modern visionaries who reshaped the world, Bill Gates stands as a towering figure. His legacy is not only marked by the foundation of Microsoft, which revolutionized personal computing, but also by his profound influence on global health, education, and technology accessibility. Gates redefined what it means to be a tech entrepreneur, philanthropist, and innovative thinker.
Revolutionizing the tech landscape
Bill Gates’ legacy began with a simple mission: to put “a computer on every desk and in every home.” This vision materialized as Microsoft software became the operating backbone of computers worldwide. With the introduction of MS-DOS and later Windows, Gates turned the PC from a niche product into a mainstream necessity.
By the mid-1990s, Microsoft controlled the operating system market with a share exceeding 90%. Gates’ software strategy—licensing instead of selling—became a blueprint for scalable business models in tech. His approach inspired countless startups and established the model for Silicon Valley’s software-centric economy.

“I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions, they will be moved to act.” — Bill Gates

Championing global health and education
Bill Gates’ philanthropic transformation is equally legendary. In 2000, he co-founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has donated over $50 billion to causes such as infectious disease prevention, vaccine research, sanitation, and public education reform.
His efforts helped bring polio to the brink of eradication, fight malaria, and improve childhood vaccine distribution across the Global South. In education, Gates backed programs that expanded access to technology in schools, teacher training initiatives, and the Common Core State Standards in the U.S.
He shifted his focus from making money to making an impact, becoming one of the most admired philanthropists of the 21st century.

“To win big, you sometimes have to take big risks.” — Bill Gates

Inspiring future generations
Bill Gates also influenced the rise of tech entrepreneurship. His journey from a college dropout to the world’s richest man inspired generations of innovators, from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg. Gates taught that intellectual curiosity, obsession with problem-solving, and calculated risk-taking were the real ingredients of success—not just formal education.
He’s also become a leading voice on climate change, investing in green energy solutions and startups that could reduce global carbon emissions. His 2021 book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster reflects his ongoing commitment to solving the planet’s most urgent issues.

“We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.” — Bill Gates

Reflections on success: What Bill Gates teaches the world
Bill Gates’ life is not just a tale of wealth and tech innovation—it’s a story of persistence, foresight, and personal growth. Reflecting on his success, Gates often emphasizes the importance of lifelong learning, the power of failure, and the value of collaboration.
He’s been open about the mistakes he made—failing to embrace the internet in the early 1990s, underestimating the mobile revolution, and even his struggles with work-life balance during Microsoft’s early days. But each of those setbacks contributed to his growth as a leader.

“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” — Bill Gates

Gates also credits his success to having the right partner—Paul Allen—and a strong support system, including mentors, employees, and family. He believes success isn’t just about genius but about resilience, teamwork, and timing.
In a world increasingly driven by technology, Gates serves as a reminder that empathy and ethics must evolve alongside innovation.

Conclusion: A legacy beyond numbers
Bill Gates’ journey from a curious boy in Seattle to a global tech titan and humanitarian is nothing short of iconic. Through Microsoft, he changed the face of technology. Through philanthropy, he changed the course of millions of lives. Gates is not just remembered for what he built, but for how he chose to give back. His legacy is one of vision, resilience, and purpose—proof that one individual truly can change the world.

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.” — Bill Gates

Murad Khetani opens on the INSIDE STORY on how Mubarakan turned from a Rs. 7 cr venture to a Rs. 70 cr film; reveals how Milap Zaveri’s double role hack proved to be a game-changing idea

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

Distributor-exhibitor Akshaye Rathi has started a weekly podcast called The Filmy Hustle and the episode featuring Murad Khetani and Siddharth Roy Kapur threw light on production challenges, changing tastes of moviegoers post-pandemic and a lot more. Murad Khetani, who has made blockbusters like Kabir Singh (2019), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) and Animal (2023), talked about his beginnings as a film producer at the very beginning of the show.Murad Khetani opens on the INSIDE STORY on how Mubarakan turned from a Rs. 7 cr venture to a Rs. 70 cr film; reveals how Milap Zaveri’s double role hack proved to be a game-changing ideaHe explained how he got into film production with The Shaukeens (2014). Murad Khetani then said, “When I signed the writer and director of Mubarakan (2017), it was supposed to have a budget of Rs. 7 crores. We needed two young actors. We met a lot of new actors. The role was such that everyone was interested in just one role, not the other.”He added, “Somehow, the script reached Sony Pictures. They called me for a meeting. They informed me that they loved the script and asked if they could produce the film with me. I agreed. I informed them about the casting problem. Then, Milap Zaveri gave the idea to make the two characters look identical. So, it became a double role. So, initially, the siblings shown in the film were two different people and not looking similar.”Murad Khetani exulted, “Anees Bazmee also came on board. We started with the idea to make a film for Rs. 7 crores. Eventually, it became a Rs. 70 crores venture!”The double role was played by Arjun Kapoor in Mubarakan.

Minecraft movie’s Herobrine Easter egg was a glitch that stayed in the movie “because the VFX studio ran out of time”

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

Sorry Minecraft fans, it looks like that sneaky Herobrine Easter egg in A Minecraft Movie might not be a direct link to the 2010 creepypasta story, as Mojang Studios’ creative director Torfi Frans Olafsson has debunked the theory.Warning, this article contains mild spoilers, so make sure you have watched the movie and read our A Minecraft Movie review before reading on.In the middle of the film, at The Woodland Mansion, Henry meets an Enderman who puts him in a trance-like state where he starts to see visions of Steve saying horrible things to him while his eyes glow white – see our A Minecraft Movie ending explained for what happens afterwards. But seeing Steve with blank white eyes has reminded fans of the Minecraft urban legend, Herobrine.However, it sounds as though Herobrine was never part of the plan at all as producer Olafsson has put the theory to bed. “It’s super strange that all of their eyes were supposed to be purple but when it was rendered one of the characters eyes kept coming out white in the final rendered frames so we wound up keeping it like that, because the VFX studio ran out of time,” said the game developer via Twitter.If you weren’t chronically online back in the day, you may be wondering what Herobrine is. The story, which has since been debunked, comes from a now 15-year-old anonymous post on 4chan where a player reported seeing a version of Steve with white eyes and unnatural abilities pop up in the Minecraft game. The legend then appeared as a scary story on creepypasta, where Herobrine was revealed to be the spirit of a deceased person.Although Steve’s eyes were supposed to reflect those of the Enderman, this doesn’t mean that Herobrine won’t pop up in further Minecraft Movies. We know from the vast list of A Minecraft Movie Easter eggs, references, and cameos, the filmmakers do like to include a few nods to Minecraft fab culture.Although a sequel to A Minecraft Movie hasn’t been announced just yet, due to the first film’s success so far and A Minecraft Movie’s post-credits scene, it’s looking positive. When we asked director Jared Hess if he would be interested in making another movie, he told GamesRadar+, “Oh, it’d be so much fun. I mean, look, the world’s infinite.”Bringing all the latest movie news, features, and reviews to your inboxA Minecraft Movie is out now.
