‘Wordle Archive’ Forced to Close by New York Times
New York Times is shutting down any possibility to make Wordle easy for users. Since one of the main features of Wordle is that one new puzzle is released once per 24-hour, that means there is a large back catalog of puzzles ready to play. March 17th marks the 271 consecutive games and with the help of a third-party platform called Wordle Archive, fans have been able to go back to their previous puzzles to try out what they have missed, free of charge. However, the website now showcases a message that reads, “Thank you for playing the Wordle Archive, and for all your nice comments and feedback that helped make the site better. Sadly, the New York Times has requested that the Wordle Archive be taken down.” A NYT representative responded to Ars Technia with a comment about the request statin...
Netflix Tests New Fee for Sharing Passwords Between Households
The modern American family is held together as much by shared streaming passwords as it is by love. Many first calls from college are prompted by a blank Netflix login screen, and every additional personal account represents someone who knows the secret word, one our most prized shibboleths. Netflix knows we love those people, even when they live in other households, and it’s now trying to puzzle out exactly how many more dollars per month we love them. In a new blog post, the streaming giant announced that it would test new multiple-household password-sharing fees in three markets: Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru. Of course, they didn’t use the word ‘fee,’ but that’s what you’re left with once you’ve translated from the original corporate gobbledygook: “We’ve been working on ways t...
SXSW Review: Richard Linklater Goes to the Moon, But Keeps Things Grounded in Apollo 10 1/2
This review is part of our coverage of the 2022 SXSW Film Festival. The Pitch: Anyone and everyone who was alive in the summer of 1969 likely knows where they were when they saw the first men landing on the moon on their television screens. But for young Stan (Milo Coy), his experience was a li’l different. Turns out, months before the iconic trip, the suburban Houstonite was approached by a couple of NASA suits for a once-in-a-lifetime mission. You see, due to an engineering blunder, they’d built the lunar module juuust a bit too small for an adult astronaut. So they needed a kid. And Stan, of course, is the perfect candidate. Related Video This didn’t happen, of course; it’s the stuff of childhood reverie, and adult Stan (Jack Black), who narrates, establishes early that he was a “fabuli...

Jared Leto Is Unsure If Theaters Would Still Exist “If It Wasn’t for Marvel Films”
Jared Leto is concerned over the “financial health” of the entertainment industry, stating that Marvel films may have greatly helped keep theaters afloat during the pandemic. In a recent cover story with Variety, the Morbius star explained that although he’s “a bit of a snob when it comes to film,” the condition of the movie industry is worrying. “If it wasn’t for Marvel films, I don’t even know if theaters would exist,” Leto said. “It doesn’t seem like there’s room for everyone, and that starts to become a little heartbreaking.” The Motion Picture Association’s recently-released annual THEME report seemingly supports Leto’s statements as it revealed that four of the top five films of 2021 were from or related to Marvel: Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Black Widow and...
