Netflix is working on a live-action 'Dragon's Lair' movie
Netflix says it's in talks with Ryan Reynolds, who has worked on a couple of other flicks for the company, to produce and star as Dirk the Daring.

Bad Password: The surveillance profiteers of COVID-19 are here
Columnist Violet Blue explains that "The pandemic has us all in vulnerable positions, and some tech companies are just ethics-free enough to step in and take advantage of entire populations being held hostage by COVID-19.
