![]() That’s when they experienced what Hansen calls a “musical explosion”the realization of just how much, and how many types of, music existed. They moved to Boston and nabbed jobs working for the influential roots-music-oriented label Rounder Records. They played speedy songs that echoed the contents of their record collections of British punk outfits like the Buzzcocks. That’s when the music bug hit big-time: They formed a band. Long before Yep Roc existed, Glenn Dicker and Tor Hansen were just two junior high friends whose relationship reached critical mass in high school. “Some of those things,” admits Dicker, “they just kinda fall in your lap.” Two nights later, The Minus 5 will take the same stage. On Thursday night, Nick Lowe will be at the top of the bill. This weekend, Yep Roc will commemorate its 15-year anniversary with four nights of concerts showcasing some of its marquee artists. For the past decade-plus, he has released those records on Yep Roc, the little North Carolina label that started in 1997 with nothing but a few connections. No longer encumbered by the more emphatic commercial demands of a music career, he is in the rare position to make and issue the music he truly wants to hear. In his later years, he has become a countrypolitan éminence grise. Nick Lowe penned “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding” and made a small fortune through that song’s inclusion on The Bodyguard soundtrack in 1992. ![]() Yep Roc, the label Dicker co-founded 15 years ago, has since released five albums by the Minus 5, along with two by McCaughey’s Young Fresh Fellowsand another 300 or so by a panoply of bands from around the world. So he’s like, ‘Would you be interested?’” “He called because he was a big Nick Lowe fan, and he thought it would be a cool thing to be on the label that Nick Lowe was on. The album was by The Minus 5, McCaughey’s sporadic side-project. “He basically was calling to say that he had a record he recorded with Wilco as a band that was gonna be called Down With Wilco,” remembers Dicker.

![]() Nvidia’s Aashish Patel reportedly stated that a touch-friendly version of the game would arrive around then. Apple removed Fortnite from its App Store on Thursday after Epic implemented a new way to purchase V-Bucks Fortnite ’s real-money currency bypassing Apple’s own payment system. “This case is about the future of the internet and whether Google Search will ever face meaningful competition,” said attorney Kenneth Dintzer in opening statements. A report from Apple Insider states that Fortnite should return to iOS at some point during October 2021. (That agreement is called the Mobile Application Distribution Agreement or MADA, and it’s been legally contentious in Europe for years.) As it grew, it used vast quantities of search data to improve its engine, creating a feedback loop that - the Justice Department alleges - has made it almost impossible to beat. ![]() That included paying Apple and Mozilla to make Google the default engine in Safari and Firefox and requiring that Android manufacturers prominently display a Google search widget on phones. ![]() Already dominant over alternatives like Bing and Yahoo, it cemented its position with the “power of defaults,” striking deals that put Google’s product front and center. The Justice Department argues that around 2010, Google began using anti-competitive tactics to maintain an overwhelming search engine monopoly. Apple is a lawsuit brought by Epic Games against Apple in August 2020 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, related to Apples practices in the iOS App Store. There's no word on who will fill the Chief Creative Officer position at Epic.The case against Google is relatively straightforward and also potentially explosive. Mustard has not offered any info on his future plans, other than he says he will "spend time with my wife and family". The Fortnite maker pulled a bold stunt that quickly snowballed into the game getting removed from. Tutti gli utenti GeForce NOW possono giocare a Fortnite per dispositivi mobili con i comandi touch. possibile accedere gratuitamente a GeForce NOW se i giocatori scelgono un abbonamento gratuito a GeForce NOW. ![]() I am humbled to have been a part of the team that every day tries to bring ‘joy and delight’ to the Fortnite community!

I can’t wait to now share in the future of Fortnite as a player alongside all of you! Epic Games decided to pick a fight with Apple and Google on Thursday, Aug. Con il servizio GeForce NOW di NVIDIA, gioca a Fortnite tramite streaming cloud nel browser su dispositivi iOS e iPadOS. What 'statements' are we talking about here All Apple cites is a quote they fabricated, claiming I said Epic 'wouldn’t trade an alternative payment system away to get Fortnite back on iOS. Epic also develops Unreal Engine, which powers the world’s leading games and is also adopted across industries such as film and television, architecture, automotive, manufacturing, and simulation. The game's popularity took off when Epic launched its free-to-play Battle Royale mode later in 2017. Epic says that Apple’s requirement that all mobile apps come through its App Store (and the 30 percent commission Apple charges for app sales and in-app purchases) is a monopoly, and that Epic. The only change since September 10, when Apple last offered to welcome Fortnite back, is that Epic appealed the decision and made 'statements'. Epic operates Fortnite, one of the world’s largest games with over 350 million accounts and 2.5 billion friend connections. After being named Epic's Chief Creative Officer, Mustard led the development of Fortnite, which first launched in 2017 with its originally planned Save The World mode. After being acquired by Epic Games in 2008, Chair developed the Infinity Blade trilogy of iOS games. There’s technically two plots but they’re related. Structurally however, it’s entirely focused on Betty, leading to a single A-plot. Each of the characters talk about, or struggle with, their plans for after graduation, recount for us a few of the developments that senior year brought, and display the culmination of their work during that year. There’s a palpable sense of finality in the air that becomes harder and harder to escape, initially papered over by the joy of shared bonds and the promises of the future. Bittersweet, still kinda kooky, and infused with meaning. The events of Graduation Day are exactly as you would expect. It’s a shockingly straightforward episode and yet densely packed. Everything I have to say could fit into one or two very long thoughts, or 20 micro thoughts. ![]() I know I’m going to struggle with the rest of this review. It’s less beholden to the trappings and structures of a typical episode and doesn’t have to be as concerned with placing us alongside these characters. There’s not a lot of attention brought to it but I thought it was fun.īy doing all this, “Goodbye, Riverdale” is changed from being just another Riverdale episode to something special. You can feel it in every word, every mannerism. In this case, that someone else is the older version of Betty trying to be the younger version. This gave Lili Reinhart the opportunity to do my favorite thing actors can do: pretending to be someone else. We’re finally given the final chapter of the book, full of closure and reflection. We not only say goodbye to the characters as we knew them here, just as we said goodbye to the characters as we knew them pre-comet last time, we hear the arc of their lives. Instead of purely revisiting “Graduation” and reworking it into the season finale it was always meant to be, “Goodbye, Riverdale” uses the supernatural elements of season 6 to craft a framework by which Riverdale can have its cake and eat it too. I’m really fighting hard not to dive straight into my observations about Betty’s reactions as she agrees and inhabits her former self’s now-mumps-less body. His presence is a soothing throughline, creating a true sense of completion. The best thing to come out of Rivervale, he’s here to escort Betty (and us) through one final day long-past. You all don’t know how happy I was to see Narrator Jughead sitting in that chair in Betty’s room. Things have to be at least a little funky. One would expect us to take a visit through the town as it is now and use that as a springboard for exploring the past but no. Just that Betty is the final survivor of the Riverdalians sent back in time, now elderly and reminiscing about the town she left long ago. We don’t know any of that at the beginning, of course. Love me some good ‘burns.įacial hair aside, beyond a few glimpses into their futures in the 60s-70s, that’s our lot. I mean, we kind of did but Jughead with sideburns doesn’t really count. I was fully convinced we’d end up getting at least versions of Archie, Veronica & Jughead. I was shocked we only got one glimpse at an older version of the characters. Plus, it’s always weird when they just gray-up someone’s hair and then say “OK. It may have been a nice nod to Riverdale’s use of the younger generation playing the older generation in flashbacks but by giving us wholly new faces, it sells the passage of time and further reinforces the season’s themes. I’m very happy they chose to not have Mädchen Amick nor Lili Reinhart play Old Woman Betty or her granddaughter. The Years Start Coming and They Don’t Stop Coming Now it’s time to say goodbye in the most Riverdale of ways possible: with a good ol’ fashioned riff on It’s a Wonderful Life.ġ. Riverdale has been with me, week after week, year after year, for nearly seven glorious, sometimes frustrating, years. To be fair, I have been reviewing the show for the majority of its run, beginning with my three-part, season 2 fill-in coverage for our previous reviewer Ken Godberson III before taking over in full on Chapter 26, “The Tell-Tale Heart.” I will not comment on whether that is a confession as to where Ken went. In fact, I think this finale may be the only episode I did not watch before the next episode aired and because it’s the finale, not even that’s true. I rarely went a full week without watching the latest episode. Sexy Archie, as it became known, quickly became appointment TV. I was enthralled with the ongoing adventures of these kooky teens and the mystery of who killed Jason Blossom. Strange, mysterious, dark, and so unlike its progenitor’s “wholesome, inoffensive” aesthetic and tone, I couldn’t turn away. I was a junior in college when the first episode of Riverdale released. ![]() Potentially altered scene(s): A forum says that water effects have changed.It’s not known if the original colors were green and the Disney+ version is actually a correction. Here is a comparison image from that forum. Potentially altered scene: A forum says colors of the poles holding up the circus tent have reportedly changed from gray to green.Some images are zoomed-in to avoid the character while others are presented as they originally were with the character deleted from the image. Altered scene: One of the centauresses that has features meant to resemble African-Americans has been removed.Here is a clip of the original narration. Altered scene: Deems Taylor’s narration has been overdubbed by Corey Burton.Disney+ restores “Says who?” but keeps the random noises. The “I’ll bust you, doggone snake in the grass” line was replaced with Donald making random noises. Disney has reportedly altered the scene on DVD by replacing “Says who?” with a clip from another cartoon of Donald saying “Aw, nuts.” This sound clip has Pluto barking in the background even though he is not in Clock Cleaners. Some genius thought that Donald was saying “Fuck you” and “son of a bitch” and reportedly had Walmart remove a Disney videotape that had Clock Cleaners on it. Donald says, “Says who?” and the spring replies, “Says I.” Donald then says, “I’ll bust you, doggone snake in the grass” and hits the spring, only to have the spring bounce back and hit Donald. Altered scene: A spring that Donald Duck is trying to fix is taunting Donald by replicating everything Donald says.The dialogue and voice have also changed. The new disguise removes the mask, beard and hat. Altered scene: A scene where the Wolf disguises himself as a brush salesman with Jewish peddler stereotypes (including a mask with a long nose, a big beard, glasses, a Borsalino hat and the brush samples at the end of a necklace) has been changed.This change was reportedly made before Disney+. The scene cuts short before the toy comes on. Deleted scene: One of the toys marching with the others towards Santa’s sack has a large nose and is performing a Cossack dance. ![]() The scene with the dolls is omitted and it cuts to the plane from the previous scene. She stamps herself on the bottom and moons the “camera” as Santa laughs. The next doll has dark-colored skin and enthusiastically screams “MAMMY” at Santa. Santa asks a doll with light-colored skin to say “MAMA.” She complies and Santa passes her along after he stamps her. Deleted scene: Santa is approving of dolls by stamping them on their butts.I make it clear if I have not verified something and where my sources come from. UPDATE: I am truly baffled by the amount of content that Disney has edited, and it’s impossible to verify some of these. Who knows? For now, here is everything that Disney is doing a disservice to: Will we see everything else restored as well? What we should all unanimously agree on is that Disney doesn’t deserve to get away with a blatant lie to their customers.ĭisney has since restored Saludos Amigos to include the scene where Goofy is smoking a cigarette. It doesn’t matter whether you’re on the side of film preservation or you believe the removed horrible content doesn’t affect the quality of the program. And content like Santa’s Workshop, Three Little Pigs, Clock Cleaners, Fantasia, The Rescuers, Toy Story 2, and Lilo & Stitch still have edits to them, but they at least don’t carry the new message like Aladdin (1992). “Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.” Disney currently has this message on Aladdin (1992), which is still edited from its original release.
