New trailer for Dark Phoenix doesn’t bode well for the X-Men
The latest trailer is out for what could be the final installation in this iteration of the X-Men franchise — and things don’t look great (either for our heroes or for the franchise). The Dark Phoenix saga is one of the most famous (and well-loved) narrative arcs in the comic book series long history, and […]

Fox isn’t ready to let go of The Simpsons, even if a growing number of longtime fans are.
The show, which is already TV’s longest ever for a primetime scripted series, will continue for at least two more seasons. Fox confirmed its commitment on Wednesday to delivering Season 31 and 32 of The Simpsons, bringing the overall episode total to 713.

This means that 20th Century Fox holdings like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and all of the network’s other programming should be in the hands of Disney by the time the renewal question comes up again. The acquisition process that began in 2017 is expected to be completed by mid-2019. Read more…

An apparent hacker has been using a discontinued TV show’s verified Twitter account to promote a cryptocurrency scam.
A nefarious Twitter user appears to have gained access to the official @AlmostHumanFOX account, and has been tweeting from the account since the beginning of the month.
During this time, the account, which is followed by almost 19,000 Twitter users, has been promoting cryptocurrency “giveaways” and impersonating Justin Sun, the influential founder and CEO of Chinese blockchain company TRON.
As TheNextWeb points out, cryptocurrency “giveaway” scams have plagued Twitter in recent months. Even Elon Musk has complained about it. Basically, a scammer attempts to convince Twitter users through faked accounts to send them a small amount of cryptocurrency and in turn, the scammer promises to send them back crypto in tenfold. The scammer then takes the original crypto deposit and runs, never returning any of the currency. Read more…

There’s only one thing in this world more cheering than the sight of a happy fox, and that’s a happy fox sunbathing on a roof terrace.
On Sunday, Tom Bell from London experienced exactly that — a fox had arrived on his roof and decided to make itself comfortable in the sweet, sweet sunshine.
