Watch: The Tinder Swindler Official Trailer

0

Online dating can be a deadly game in the world of modern love, and not all that glitters is gold. The Tinder Swindler is a notorious conman who has seduced and swindled women out of millions of dollars and is a fugitive from justice in several countries. One swipe may change everything. This is the ultimate fairytale gone wrong. In this Netflix show, we follow three women who decided it was time for payback.

What is Tinder?

Tinder is a dating app and geosocial network that’s used by users around the globe. Users anonymously “swipe right” to like or “swipe left” to dislike other users’ profiles, which include their photo, a short bio, and a list of their interests. The platform is regarded as one of the most prominent for online dating and is known for its hook-up culture. Since 2020, Tinder had 6.2 million subscribers and 75 million monthly active users.

What Is Hookup culture?

Hookup culture accepts and encourages casual sexual encounters, including one-night stands and other related activities, without including emotional familiarity, bonding or a committed relationship. Typically, it has also been named nonrelationship sex, or sex without dating.


The Tinder Swindler will be available on Netflix from the 2nd of February, 2022.

16 Incredible Stills from The French Dispatch (2021)

0

One of the most distinctive aspects of Wes Anderson’s work is the vibrant visual world he creates for each film. His latest release, The French Dispatch, is no different. Along with production designer Adam Stockhausen, cinematographer and frequent Wes Anderson collaborator Robert Yeoman brings the vibrant three-part anthology to life with bright color, playful photography, and incredible attention to detail.

The film follows several journalists who write for The French Dispatch, an outpost of an American paper based in the fictional French town of Ennui-sur-Blasé. Each segment of the anthology dives into a new section of the newspaper’s topics, taking viewers on a new adventure, each more ridiculous than the last. The extensive motley of characters (and big-name stars) is just as captivating as the rich, visually pleasing element of the film. Comedy is the vehicle for this seemingly random assortment of stories, making for some memorable dialogue. However, it’s the visual wonderland of Ennui that audiences will recognize as a particular trademark of Wes Anderson’s.

Here are sixteen stills that showcase the level of detail paid to the sets, production design, and composition of each frame in The French Dispatch.

Soul Glo Announce New Album ‘Diaspora Problems’, Drop New Song

0

Philadelphia punk outfit Soul Glo have announced a new album, Diaspora Problems, which arrives on March 25 via Epitaph. The follow-up to 2019’s THE N**** IN ME IS ME is led by the new single ‘Jump!! (Or Get Jumped!!!)((by the future))’, which comes alongside a music video from directors Dan White and $$$nicca. Check it out below.

Commenting on the new track, the band said in a press release: “Many artists feel as though time is a consistent adversary when it comes to the production of their work, but there is a population of people within this group who fear even more the probability of their time permanently coming to a close before they can enjoy the fruit of their labor. Many Black artists who reach superstar status do so posthumously or have a limited amount of time to establish their legacy.”

Last year, Soul Glo released the EPs DisNigga Vol. 1 and 2.

Kevin Devine Announces New Album, Shares New Song ‘Albatross’

0

Kevin Devine has announced his first album in six years, Nothing’s Real, So Nothing’s Wrong. It’s due out March 25 via Triple Crown. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Albatross’. Check it out below and scroll down for the record’s cover artwork (by Valerie Hegarty) and tracklist.

“‘Albatross’ is a hard reboot, a fragmented emptying-out for us strugglers whose life experience invalidates cookie-cutter solutions or miracle cures or 21st century coping mechanisms,” Devine explained in a statement. “Where do you turn for comfort when the generally-accepted value system and discourse is this degraded and grotesque? Maybe letting go, and then more letting go, of the burden of communicating that for which no suitable words exist, of fumbling at ad-hoc answers to the unanswerable, of investing in a perverse and upside-down reality that encourages you to internalize the need to fix things you didn’t break.”

Spoon Share Video for New Single ‘Wild’

Spoon have shared a video for their latest single, ‘Wild’, taken from their upcoming album Lucifer on the Sofa. It’s the second offering from the LP – out February 11 via Matador – following lead cut ‘The Hardest Cut’. Check it out via the accompanying video, directed by Ben Chappell and Brook Linder, below.

Talking about the video, Linder commented in a press release: “We were mid putting this video together and my friend Ben asked ‘Is Spoon the best band?’ Yes. Yep. Probably. There’s always something unexpected in the familiar with Spoon. They are mythic to me somehow, and ‘WILD’ needed to feel like a myth, or at least illustrate the myth-making process in some odd way. We used the old ways – crude in-camera techniques – to hit this uncanny western film note. Britt is the quintessential western hero. Had a blast 10/10 would do again.”

Earlier this year, Spoon shared a cover of David Bowie’s ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away’.

Rosie Thomas Enlists Sufjan Stevens, The Shins, Iron & Wine, and More for Cover of Björk’s ‘All Is Full of Love’

0

The Nashville-based musician Rosie Thomas has enlisted Sufjan Stevens, the Shins, Iron & Wine, Alexi Murdoch, the Head and The Heart’s Charity Theilen, the Lone Bellow’s Kanene Pipkin, and many more for a cover of Björk’s ‘All Is Full of Love’. Give it a listen below.

Thomas’ rendition of ‘All Is Full of Love’ is taken from her upcoming project Lullabies For Parents, Vol 1, which will include music, a podcast, as well as essays and videos reflecting on parenthood. Thomas worked on the songs with her husband, producer Jeff Shoop. She explained in a press release:

Originally, the plan was to do a quiet lullaby kind of version of the song, and really highlight the tender, encouraging lyrics, whether to children, to parents, to everyone really. Though we can understandably look past it these days, there is, in fact, love all around. Keep your head up. Stay hopeful. Look for it. Show it. Give it away. Love abounds. Love prevails. It’s within reach. So, as Shoop kept working on the song, adding bits, and shaping the arrangement, he had the overwhelming, but inspired idea to get vocals of a few lines from a bunch of different friends and variety of distinct voices (even our kids for a younger generation) to bring in and out, and eventually amass a choir of sorts.  Some folks would come by the house when they were in Nashville, and others we sent instructions and requests, and they’d kindly send back vocals. This was largely pre-pandemic too, but proved to be a fairly seamless method once it began and we continued.  Shoop then built this crazy arrangement out of it, and it was really beautiful, but I told him, “sorry, you gotta keep going.” I said, “I’ll know it’s done when my arm hairs stand up.” So with that super helpful direction, he kept going;) He had his best friend, James McAlister play drums, sorting out parts over the phone; sent out more singing assignments for new vocal parts, and kept plugging away at it himself, having long since jettisoned the minimal approach.* Finally one day I was out back checking out the newest version, and it happened! I cried when it finished, ran inside, and said, “look at my arms!” “You did it!” I listen now, and pretend we’re all in the same room singing side by side. It’s really special to me to get all these friends singing together on the same song. It feels like our own little We Are The World… We Are The Small World Afterall maybe?

*The song eventually rose to what mixing engineer, Yuuki Matthews, said “won the award for the most tracks I’ve seen in a session,” including everything from celeste and nylon guitar to synth track names like “NBA Jam” and “Fletch chase scene.”

Lullabies For Parents, Vol 1 Tracklist:

1. I Will Carry You (Always Here For You)
2. Always Be My Baby (Mariah Carey cover feat. The Shins, Sufjan Stevens, Josh Ottum)
3. Even My Best Won’t Be Good Enough
4. It’ll Be Alright
5. All Is Full of Love

Lucius Announce New Album, Release Video for New Song ‘Next to Normal’

Indie-pop group Lucius have announced a new LP called Second Nature, their first since 2016’s Good Grief. The album was co-produced by Dave Cobb and Brandi Carlile and arrives on April 8. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Next to Normal’, which is accompanied by a music video. Check it out below.

Recorded at Nashville’s RCA Studio A, Second Nature includes contributions from Drew Erickson, Rob Moose, and Gabriel Cabezas, as well as backing vocals from Carlile and Sheryl Crow.

“It is a record that begs you not to sit in the difficult moments, but to dance through them,” Lucius’ Jess Wolfe said in a statement. “It touches upon all these stages of grief—and some of that is breakthrough, by the way. Being able to have the full spectrum of the experience that we have had, or that I’ve had in my divorce, or that we had in lockdown, having our careers come to a halt, so to speak. I think you can really hear and feel the spectrum of emotion and hopefully find the joy in the darkness. It does exist. That’s why we made Second Nature and why we wanted it to sound the way it did: our focus was on dancing our way through the darkness.”

Second Nature arrives on the heels of Lucius’ recent collaboration with the War on Drugs on ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’, the title track from their latest album.

Casino Bonus Guide: Drinks, Rooms, and More!

You may have been to a casino before, but if not, you should know that it’s not less interesting than gambling. Casinos are full of all kinds of amenities and extras that can make your stay a really enjoyable one. This blog post will go through the different types of bonuses casinos offer their guests on the best payout online casino sites, and how they can help you enjoy your time at the casino while maximizing your entertainment dollar.

One of the most common bonuses offered is the no deposit casino bonus. This means that you can enjoy all the casino has to offer without having to risk any of your own money. These types of bonuses provide the perfect opportunities for new players to try out different games and see which ones they like best before investing their own money.

In addition to no deposit bonuses, casinos often offer other types of bonuses as well. These might include free drinks, free rooms, or even cashback on your losses. All these extras can really add up and make your visit more enjoyable. So be sure to take advantage of them when you visit a casino. We’ll explain how to win each of these bonuses in the following sections.

Free Drinks

Most casinos reward frequent players with free drinks by giving them points for every dollar they spend at the casino and every hand of poker they play. Once you accumulate enough points, you can redeem them for any item on the casino’s restaurant menu or bar list, whether it’s alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks. Who doesn’t like free booze after all? Most casinos offer their guests a wide selection of complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. This can include anything from beer and wine to mixed drinks and soft drinks. So be sure to take advantage of this bonus by drinking up.

One thing to keep in mind is that most casinos have a drink minimum that you must meet before they start giving you free drinks. This usually ranges from $20-$50, so make sure you budget accordingly. And don’t forget to tip your server, it’s how they make their living after all. To win free booze, here are a couple more tips that may help and, of course, what to order.

  • Shop the Best Hotel Deals: Hotels near casinos often offer a free drink or room bonuses as an incentive to stay there. So if you’re looking for a place to stay, be sure to check out the hotels near your chosen casino.
  •  Join the Casino’s Player’s Club: Almost every casino has a player’s club, and joining is usually free. When you join, you’ll receive points for every dollar you spend at the casino. These points can then be redeemed for various rewards, including free drinks and rooms. Even some celebrities cab be members of these clubs, as there are some avid gamblers among them.
  • Make the most of Groupon: If you’re really short on funds, there is a good chance that Groupon has a deal for your casino of choice. What’s great about these deals is that they often include free drinks as well as other bonuses such as room discounts and show tickets.
  • Poker: In addition to cash games and tournaments, most casinos have daily poker promotions where players can win everything from food comps to hotel rooms by playing in the various poker events being offered. To find out more about what your chosen casino offers, visit their website or give them a call before visiting, so you know exactly what rewards are up for grabs during your stay.

Free Rooms

Another common bonus that casinos offer is free rooms. This means that you can stay for a night or two without having to pay anything. You will usually need to play at the casino before they award you with this type of bonus, though some casinos do give them out as incentives on special occasions such as holidays and weekends.

One thing to keep in mind about these types of bonuses is location; most are only valid at hotels located near the casino itself, so be sure you’re staying somewhere within walking distance before signing up. This type of bonus could be of great benefit for people who work remotely nowadays – as they can have rest, sleep, or even work online in the rooms provided. The latest polls in Canada show the number of employees willing to work from home or another place, but no office is growing.

To win free rooms, here are some practical tips that may help.

  •  Join the Casino’s Player’s Club: As we mentioned earlier, joining a casino’s player’s club is usually free and can be done when you first arrive. When you join, you’ll start earning points for every dollar you spend at the casino. These points can also be redeemed for free rooms and other rewards.
  •  Take Advantage of Hotel Packages: Many hotels in and around casinos offer special deals and packages for casino guests. These include everything from discounted rooms to free show tickets, food comps, and other rewards. So be sure to check with the hotel when booking your room.

Free or Discounted Show Tickets

Depending on where you live and which casinos are near you, it’s possible that you can win free or discounted show tickets. This is another common bonus that casinos offer and one that can come in very handy if there’s a show that you’ve been dying to see.

Most of the time, you’ll need to play at the casino before they award you with this type of bonus. However, some casinos do offer them during special events like holidays and weekends. To win free or discounted show tickets, here are some tips that may help.

  • Check the Casino’s Calendar: Most casinos post their schedule of upcoming shows on their website in addition to advertisements in their hotel rooms. By checking out what’s available, you’ll be able to plan ahead for any future trips you have to the casino.
  • Sign Up for Email Alerts: Casinos typically send out email alerts when new offers are available, which is another way to stay in touch with upcoming events at your local casinos. So be sure that you’re subscribed so you can find out about any upcoming shows before they sell out!

Food Comps

One of the most popular bonuses that casinos offer is food comps. This means that you can eat for free or at a discounted price by showing your player’s card at any of the casino’s restaurants. Most of the time, you’ll need to play at the casino before they award you with this type of bonus. However, some casinos do award them during special events like holidays and weekends. To win free or discounted show tickets, try any of these hacks.

  •  Get to Know the Cashier: If you’re headed out for a meal at a restaurant near the casino, be sure to stop by the cashier first and tell them what time you’d like your meal comped. Depending on how long until your reservation is, they may be able to give it away right then and there.
  • Eat Early: While many casinos that offer food comps are sit-down restaurants, some will allow you to show your player’s card at the buffet line. This is another good way to get free meals if you’re planning on making multiple trips during your stay.

Final Thoughts

From these hacks to win bonuses like free drinks and rooms etc., it is quite clear that the strategy is almost the same. Nonetheless, always be keen to read the terms and conditions of every bonus offer because there might be certain games that need to be played or a minimum betting amount that needs to be met before one can qualify for the said bonus. So, it is best to do some research on the web or contact the customer service of your preferred casino establishment to know exactly what is required of you before playing.

Scream

“Scream” is one the most popular horror franchises of all time. The first instalment not only brought in over 100 million dollars at the national cinema but also rekindled the interest of the public for slashers. The film’s popularity led to hits like “I know what you did last summer” or “Urban Legends”.

All the stars from the past four tapes will be back on the screens. Neve Campbell will again portray the Sidney Prescott image, while Courteney Cox, “Friends” star, will play Gail Weathers. David Arquette will be playing the retired police officer Dewey. Bright new characters bring many important details to the original story.
