How many unread emails do you have?

I’m pretty militant about keeping my unread count under control, but it’s hard to stay on top of things. As I’m writing this, I have 144 unread emails. That pales in comparison to my friend Abel’s 11,425, and my wife’s staggering 23,166. Where do you fall on the spectrum? Are you all in on inbox zero? Or have you just given up?

Just show us King Ghidorah already.

The latest teaser for Godzilla Minus Zero gives us a glimpse of Ghidorah’s gravity beams, but no shots of the kaiju itself. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait much longer, as Godzilla Minus Zero hits theaters on November 6th.

Watch the new Blade Runner 2099 trailer.

This slightly longer look at the new Amazon series doesn’t offer much more info than the original teaser that dropped in July. It is certainly a moodier and darker trailer, though. The show has been in the works since at least 2022, but it’ll finally hit streaming on November 25th of this year.

Nicolas Cage says he probably won’t work with Amazon again over AI concerns.

According to Variety, during a panel at New York Comic Con this weekend, Cage said:

“Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI … I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s okay.”
