Netflix : plus qu’une semaine pour rattraper ce film d’horreur qui a beaucoup fait parler avant sa sortie

Posted on September 7, 2024 by A2ZWEBDESIGNSUSA

Un temps privé de sortie en salles en 2020, ce film d'horreur qui a fait polémique aux États-Unis a eu une sortie plus que limitée. Si vous l'avez raté, il ne vous reste qu'une semaine pour le rattraper sur Netflix.

Ce devait être l’un des films horrifiques premium de 2019 de Blumhouse, la société de production de Jason Blum à qui l’on doit Paranormal Activity, American Nightmare, Happy Birthdead, Insidious ou encore Invisible Man. Et pourtant, ce long-métrage haletant a été privé de sortie au cinéma.

Cette adaptation de la nouvelle Le Plus dangereux des gibiers (The Most Dangerous Game, en VO) de Richard Connell publiée en 1924 a été écrite par Damon Lindelof et Nick Cuse (duo qui a travaillé sur Watchmen et The Leftovers) et réalisée par Craig Zobel.

Avant même sa première sortie prévue au cinéma fin septembre 2019, The Hunt était sous le feu des critiques de plusieurs conservateurs, certains ayant vu en cette version moderne des Chasses du comte Zaroff une métaphore politique sur les Démocrates, assimilés aux élites, qui chasseraient des Républicains, représentés par les rednecks.

Parmi les premiers détracteurs du film, on retrouvait un certain Donald Trump, ancien Président des États-Unis, qui estimait à l’époque qu’il était “dangereux de sortir ce genre de film dans le pays”.

Et la polémique autour de The Hunt a pris encore plus d’ampleur en août 2019, après les tueries à Gilroy en Californie, à El Paso au Texas et à Dayton dans l’Ohio, qui ont fait 35 morts et 52 blessés.

Des tueries de masse, courantes aux États-Unis, découlent toujours des critiques envers le cinéma et les jeux vidéo considérés – à tort – comme des moteurs de violence. Universal suspend alors la communication autour du film puis l’enlève de sa grille de programmation jusqu’à l’année d’après.

Sauf que malheureusement, le monde connaît une crise sanitaire sans précédent avec la pandémie de coronavirus en 2020 et la sortie au cinéma de The Hunt est tout simplement annulée aux États-Unis, comme en France.

Une nouvelle bande-annonce, avait pourtant été préparée pour le film, dont le montage final était resté inchangé, mais le distributeur a préféré opter pour une sortie en VOD pour ce long-métrage, jusqu’à ce que les cinémas rouvrent où le film bénéficiera d’une sortie limitée.

En France, le long-métrage sortira quelque temps au cinéma dès la réouverture en juin mais ne rencontre pas le succès mérité. Intelligent jeu de massacre, The Hunt en met pourtant plein les yeux avec une violence grotesque et sans limite.

Ce long-métrage horrifique tire à balles réelles sur toute l’Amérique, ses normes et ses dérives, ce qui donne un thriller jouissif, délicieusement méchant et parfaitement gore. Ce festival de tueries oscille entre la satire bien ficelée et le divertissement sanglant à souhait pour un résultat étonnant mais réussi.

The Hunt vaut aussi pour la performance géniale de Betty Gilpin, ultra badass, et pour le reste du casting impeccable, entre Hilary Swank, Emma Roberts et Justin Hartley. Alors, si vous l’avez raté, il est temps de le rattraper sur Netflix, mais dépêchez-vous car il quitte le catalogue le 21 décembre.

Netflix : plus que quelques jours pour voir une des scènes les plus choquantes de ces dernières années

Posted on September 6, 2024 by A2ZWEBDESIGNSUSA

Alors que "Doctor Sleep", suite de "Shining", s'apprête à quitter le catalogue Netflix, retour sur l'une des scènes les plus marquantes du film.

Dans le cinéma d’horreur hollywoodien, les enfants sont des cibles faciles. Bien souvent, ils s’en sortent, mais quand ce n’est pas le cas, il y a deux solutions : leur mort peut être mise en scène dans une séquence brève ou filmée en hors-champ. Question de morale. Avec Doctor Sleep, le réalisateur Mike Flanagan décide de pousser le vice.

L’un des moments clés de cette adaptation du livre de Stephen King – qui fait suite à son classique Shining – montre un jeune joueur de baseball, joué par Jacob Tremblay, tombé entre les mains des antagonistes du film. Le personnage se nomme Bradley Trevor et possède le pouvoir du Shining, celui de lire dans les pensées.

Après un match de baseball, il est suivi par le Noeud vrai, le groupe de tueurs. L’enfant est kidnappé avant d’être sauvagement tué. Dans le livre, cette scène est très brutale. Dans le film, Mike Flanagan fait ce que Hollywood tente d’épargner aux spectateurs : une mise à mort qui dure. Si le coup de couteau est filmé en hors-champ, les cris de l’acteur font leur effet.

Sur le tournage de cette scène, toute l’équipe a été impressionnée par le talent d’acteur du jeune Jacob Tremblay – révélé par le film Room en 2015. Dans une interview accordée à CinemaBlend, le réalisateur Mike Flanagan explique que ses cris étaient si insoutenables que les techniciens ont quitté le plateau. L’actrice Rebecca Ferguson, qui joue Rose, l’antagoniste principale, a même fondu en larmes pendant la prise.

Lorsque Stephen King a visionné le premier montage du film, il a lui-même demandé à atténuer la violence de la séquence. Dans la toute première version, un plan fixe restait sur le visage terrifié du jeune acteur avant que du sang vienne lui éclabousser le visage. Plusieurs coups de couteau étaient également filmés.

Toujours auprès de CinemaBlend, Mike Flanagan raconte que les cris de Jacob Tremblay resonnaient dans les couloirs du studio lorsque le film était en montage. Pour ne pas déranger ses collègues dans les autres pièces, il jouait une musique pour étouffer le son.

Le réalisateur se remémore la joie et l’excitation de Jacob Tremblay, impatient de tourner la scène. Ce jour-là, l’acteur canadien fêtait son douzième anniversaire.

Doctor Sleep quitte Netflix le 22 décembre prochain.

C’est la première fois en douze ans qu’Arnold Schwarzenegger reprend son rôle iconique de Terminator depuis Terminator 3. Il fut en effet remplacé par une version digitale dans Terminator Renaissance. Cette durée coïncide avec celle entre Terminator 2 : Le Jugement dernier (1991) et Le Soulèvement des Machines (2003).

Emilia Clarke, célèbre grâce à la série Game Of Thrones, redonne vie ici au personnage emblématique de Sarah Connor. La jeune actrice britannique a indiqué que pour son rôle, elle s’était inspirée de Daenerys plutôt que des précédentes versions cinématographiques de la saga SF.

En raison de l’âge d’Arnold Schwarzenegger (67 ans à l’époque), il fut décidé qu’à la place des effets spéciaux censés le rajeunir de trente ans, son vieillissement serait intégré au scénario. De fait, le tissu de peau recouvrant son corps de robot vieillit comme n’importe quel humain.

How to protect your money when banks fail

Posted on September 6, 2024October 25, 2024 by A2ZWEBDESIGNSUSA

Click:screws & fasteners world

The startling collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is making some people and businesses leery of stashing their cash with smaller lenders, which unlike Wall Street’s financial behemoths aren’t considered “too big to fail.”

For business owners whose employees expect them to meet payroll, SVB’s failure was particularly unnerving, prompting a wave of transfers to larger banks. Melanie Travis, founder of women’s swimwear brand Andie Swim, said her immediate fear after hearing that California regulators had seized SVB was that her company might well follow its banker over the edge.

“I’ve never had a feeling like that in all my years of working, and certainly not since I started Andie,” she told CBS News.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures deposits up to $250,000. In the case of SVB’s failure, where many account holders had millions of dollars in deposits, the federal government has vowed to backstop every account, with customers able to access all of their money even in excess of the FDIC’s insurance cap.

But before the Biden administration announced the emergency stabilization measures, some business owners feared their hard-earned money had evaporated for good. Here’s how to safeguard your cash, and what to know about protections for customers with deposits over the FDIC’s $250,000 limit.

Double up

Although the FDIC only insures individual depositors up to the $250,000 limit, it has a solid track record of guaranteeing funds above the cap when banks fail.

“In most cases, it finds a healthy bank to assume deposits, and it often assumes all deposits above the FDIC limit even though it’s not guaranteed,” said Ken Tumin, founder of Deposit Accounts, a banking research site. To be sure, however, “Only amounts under the FDIC coverage limit can be considered completely safe,” he emphasized.

Consumers can multiply the FDIC coverage limit fairly easily through a variety of methods. For one, bank deposits are insured up to $250,000 per account per bank. To reduce the administrative hassle of maintaining accounts at multiple banks, someone could have two accounts — one individual, one joint — at a single bank, upping the amount insured by the agency to $500,000.

Diversify

But if a bank client has more than $250,000 in a single account, now may be the time to diversify, according to Howard Dvorkin, certified public accountant and chairman of Debt.com.

“Most people should be focused on diversifying investments among regions, sizes and sectors,” he said.

For a company with a $1 million payroll to meet each week, maintaining four different bank accounts, each holding $250,000, is wise, according to other financial experts. That way, every account remains under FDIC coverage limits and provides a level of safety that a single bank account can’t.

“Because large deposits don’t fall within FDIC limits, they can be housed in multiple places like at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs,” said Jamie Cox, managing partner for Harris Financial Group.

If a customer prefers to work with a regional bank rather than a larger institution, they can maintain that relationship while opening up an additional account.

“If you use a regional bank as your operating bank, you should have one of the Big Four as a backup bank,” said Ushir Shah, co-founder and chief technology officer of Known Holdings, an investment platform for minority fund managers.

“As much as I love the community banking aspect of our system, when there’s a crisis it’s nice to have a relationship with a Big Four bank to be able to swing things over,” he said.

Spread out

Some firms do the work of spreading funds out across multiple banks for the depositor, who only has to manage one relationship. Financial services companies like IntraFi take customer deposits and distribute them across its network of financial institutions, which includes roughly a third of all U.S. commercial banks.

The service effectively allows customers to see their large deposits fully covered under FDIC insurance through a single relationship, rather than having to manage multiple accounts.

“They allow you to diversify your cash holdings over a broad array of banks, keeping balances at each institution under the FDIC limit,” Cox said.

In the wake of the turmoil following the failure of SVB and New York’s Signature Bank, he expects more Americans to rely upon these kinds of financial planning services.

“More people are going to use tools to help them consolidate their [deposit statements]. People paid no attention to risks associated with the convenience of keeping everything at one bank, and now people are going to go in the opposite direction and be more mindful of the risk rather than convenience,” Cox predicted.

Go big

Naveen Jain, founder and CEO of digital health company Viome, which studies the causes of chronic diseases to better detect early-stage cancers and more, became a client of SVB after launching his company seven years ago. He chose the bank at the recommendation of his investors and because it catered to customers in the life sciences industry.

After its collapse, though, he doesn’t believe his funds are safe outside one of the four largest banking institutions in the U.S.

“It looks like only the top four banks — JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Citibank — those that are ‘too big to fail,’ are safe,” he told CBS MoneyWatch.

Iwao Hakamada, world’s longest-serving death row inmate and former boxer, to get new trial at age 87

Posted on September 6, 2024 by A2ZWEBDESIGNSUSA

Tokyo’s high court on Monday ordered a retrial for an 87-year-old former professional boxer who has been on death row for more than five decades after a murder conviction that his lawyers said was based on a forced confession and fabricated evidence.

The Tokyo High Court said Iwao Hakamada, who is the world’s longest-serving death row inmate, deserves a retrial because of a possibility that key evidence that led to his conviction could have been fabricated by investigators, the Japan Bar Association said in a statement.

Hakamada has been out of prison but still not cleared of charges since 2014, when the Shizuoka District Court in central Japan suspended his execution and ordered a retrial and his release. That ruling was overturned by the Tokyo High Court until the Supreme Court in 2020 ordered the court to reconsider.

His defense lawyers rushed out of the courtroom and flashed banners saying “Retrial.”

“I was waiting for this day for 57 years and it has come,” said Hakamada’s sister Hideko, 90, who has campaigned tirelessly on her brother’s behalf. “Finally a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.”

Hakamada was convicted of murder in the 1966 killing of a company manager and three of his family members, and setting fire to their central Japan home, where he was a live-in employee. He was sentenced to death two years later. He initially denied the accusations then confessed, which he later said he was forced to because of violent interrogation by police.

Hakamada was not executed because of lengthy appeals and the retrial process. It took 27 years for the Supreme Court to deny his first appeal for a retrial. He filed a second appeal in 2008, and the court finally ruled in his favor on Thursday.

The point of contention was five pieces of blood-stained clothing that investigators said Hakamada allegedly wore during the crime and hid in a tank of fermented soybean paste, or miso, found more than a year after his arrest.

The Tokyo High Court decision on Monday acknowledged scientific experiments that clothing soaked in miso for more than a year turns too dark for blood stains to be spotted, saying there is a possibility of fabrication, most likely by investigators.

Defense lawyers and earlier retrial decisions said the blood samples did not match Hakamada’s DNA, and trousers that prosecutors submitted as evidence were too small for Hakamada and did not fit when he tried them on.

National broadcaster NHK said the court’s presiding judge Fumio Daizen cast doubt on the credibility of the clothes as evidence.

“There is no evidence other than the clothes that could determine Hakamada was the perpetrator, so it is clear that reasonable doubt arises,” NHK quoted him as saying.

Hakamada has been serving his sentence at home since his release in 2014 because his frail health and age made him a low risk for escape.

Japan and the United States are the only two countries in the Group of Seven advanced nations that retain capital punishment. A survey by the Japanese government showed an overwhelming majority of the public support executions.

Executions are carried out in secrecy in Japan and prisoners are not informed of their fate until the morning they are hanged. Since 2007, Japan has begun disclosing the names of those executed and some details of their crimes, but disclosures are still limited.

The death penalty still enjoys broad public support and debate on the issue is rare.

Supporters say nearly 50 years of detention, mostly in solitary confinement with the ever-present threat of execution, took a heavy toll on Hakamada’s mental health.

He told AFP in 2018 he felt he was “fighting a bout every day.”

His sister Hideko told a news conference later on Monday she does not talk about the trials with him.

“I will only tell him to rest assured, because we got a good result,” she said. “Now, I just need to make sure I can see the retrial begin.”

The process for a retrial could take years if a special appeal is filed, however, and lawyers have been protesting against this system.

The Japan Federation of Bar Associations welcomed Monday’s ruling but said in a statement it “strongly demands prosecutors swiftly start the retrial process without issuing a special appeal to the Supreme Court.”

“We cannot afford any further delay to remedy Mr. Hakamada, who has an advanced age of 87 and suffers mental and physical conditions after 47 years of physical restraint,” association head Motoji Kobayashi said.

Rights group Amnesty International also welcomed the decision.

“This ruling presents a long-overdue chance to deliver some justice to Hakamada Iwao, who has spent more than half a century under sentence of death despite the blatant unfairness of the trial that saw him convicted,” said Hideaki Nakagawa, director of Amnesty International Japan. “Now that the Tokyo High Court has acknowledged Hakamada’s right to the fair trial he was denied more than 50 years ago, it is imperative that prosecutors allow this to happen.

Le Monde après nous sur Netflix : un mystérieux QR code se cache dans le film ! Que contient-il ?

Porté par Julia Roberts, le thriller "Le Monde après nous" contient de nombreux mystères. L'un d'entre eux concerne un QR code qui se cache dans l'un des plans du film. Mais quelle est son utilité ?

Le Monde après nous continue de révéler ses secrets. Le film de Sam Esmail – qui réalise un excellent démarrage sur la plateforme – contient de nombreux détails cachés à destination des spectateurs les plus observateurs. L’un d’entre eux est visible à la 34e minute du film.

Alors que tout le monde est endormi, la télévision se met en route et diffuse une image de la chaîne d’information CNN avec la carte des États-Unis. Sur le côte ouest du pays, un QR code s’affiche – voir la photo ci-dessous. Aussitôt remarqué, de nombreux internautes ont tenté de le scanner avec leur smartphone.

Problème : l’image est trop pixelisée pour que le scan fonctionne. Certains ont alors reproduit à l’identique le QR code pour le rendre plus visible. Une fois scanné, il renvoie à un site internet étrange consacré au comté de Mercer dans l’État du New Jersey.

Le QR code renvoie plus particulièrement à un article sur un parc d’attraction abandonné, le Lake Shawnee Amusement Park, un terrain devenu le théâtre de meurtres dès le XVIIIe siècle. Lorsque le lac est acheté dans les années 1920 pour devenir un parc d’attraction, la malédiction a continué.

L’article explique que six personnes ont trouvé la mort dans ce parc. Parmi eux, une petite fille serait décédée sur une balançoire et un jeune garçon se serait noyé dans le lac. Depuis 1966, le parc est abandonné, devenant un lieu touristique pour les adeptes de légendes urbaines.

Aux États-Unis, le Lake Shawnee Amusement Park est connu pour être un endroit hanté. À première vue, le lien entre ce lieu et Le Monde après nous n’est pas évident. S’agit-il d’une métaphore ? Le réalisateur pourrait établir un lien l’histoire de l’Amérique et ce lieu, d’abord connu pour des massacres avant qu’il soit transformé en terrain de divertissement.

Une autre hypothèse, et c’est la plus probable, voudrait que cet endroit donne un incide sur le prochain projet de Sam Esmail. Ce dernier ne s’est pas encore publiquement exprimé à ce sujet.

McConnell discharged from hospital after concussion to recover at rehab facility

Posted on September 6, 2024 by A2ZWEBDESIGNSUSA

Washington — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was discharged from the hospital on Monday after suffering a concussion and rib fracture, but he will continue being treated at an inpatient rehabilitation facility, his office said.

“Leader McConnell’s concussion recovery is proceeding well,” his spokesman David Popp said in a news release. “At the advice of his physician, the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home.”

The 81-year-old suffered a concussion Wednesday after tripping at a Washington hotel, where he was attending a private dinner

Over the weekend, McConnell’s medical team found that he also had a minor rib fracture, Popp said.

In 2019, McConnell tripped and fell at his home and underwent surgery to repair a shoulder fracture.

The Senate has been short several members as of late due to illness.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman has been receiving treatment for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland since mid-February. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein left the hospital last week and was receiving treatment at home as she recovers from a bout of shingles.
