It features Korean talent including Jung Haein in the lead role and Ko Kyungpyo as the serial killer, and Kim Hyejun as the mysterious Irang.

After being out for nearly three years now, Dying Light is still getting an expansion from Techland. The publisher has announced that due to “numerous fan requests” they are announcing Dying Light: Bad Blood, which will be a standalone expansion independent of past DLCs the developer has continued to release for the game.
Observing the trends in the industry, with the rise of battle royale style of games such as Fortnite and Pubg, Bad Blood will be introducing a similar style of gameplay while “retaining the core of what made people fall in love with Dying Light in the first place,” says Techland in a press release. The publisher promises a “violent and dynamic” online experience while introducing a Pvp with Pve mechanics.
“Our aim is both to satisfy players’ demands for competitive PvP gameplay and to explore new directions for Dying Light’s multiplayer experience,” said Tymon Smektala, Producer at Techland.

Taylor Swift may be one of the biggest music stars in the world, but Kendrick Lamar didn’t jump into a collaboration with her without some contemplation.
In an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday, the rapper revealed that he puts a lot of thought into who he’ll lend his voice to, even if it’s for what turned out to be a major hit: “Bad Blood” off Swift’s 1989 album.
“You gotta have a great business mind, integrity and a great team, and the No. 1 thing we talk about is how does the music sound?” Lamar, 30, explained.

They say I did something bad -- then why's it feel so good?
That line leads the chorus to “I Did Something Bad” off of Taylor Swift’s Reputation album, an endlessly listenable 15-song affair that careens back and forth between diary entries about dreamy Joe Alwyn to burn book-like drags of her enemies -- from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to Katy Perry, to her exes, and even herself for good measure.
For someone dogged for most of her career with accusations of playing the victim, Taylor spent a fair amount of 2017 exploring her dark side, and in particular seeming to embrace those snake emojis that slithered their way into her narrative after Kim’s infamous Snapchat story and killed “Old Taylor” once and for all.
With that in mind, here’s a list (in red, underlined) of six of Taylor’s shadiest moments of the year.

Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift just "vibe."
The rapper opened up about working with Swift in an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday, revealing that his decision to collaborate on "Bad Blood" didn't come lightly.
"One hundred percent," he answered when asked how much thought goes into which artists he lends his voice to. "You gotta have a great business mind, integrity and a great team, and the No. 1 thing we talk about is how does the music sound?"
"I'm a hip-hop artist, so how far in the pop world is the sound? So the first thing is, let's hear the music," he added, noting that he joined Swift in the studio and immediately recorded his part on the song. "The vibe was right. It didn't take too many takes. We locked in on the chemistry."

As 2017 comes to a close, Et is looking back and counting down the best moments of the year -- check back here every day for the latest!
2017 was Bts' year!
The K-pop boy band made their mark on America and proved they came to slay this year, achieving numerous milestones and even setting a world record.
The group's seven members -- V, Rm, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, Suga and J-Hope -- brought their energetic dance skills, irresistible pop hits and charming personalities to the U.S. and Et was lucky enough to talk to the megastars every step of the way -- from their Billboard Music Awards debut and their chart-topping album, Love Yourself: Her, to their Beatles-like arrival at Lax and first interview ahead of the American Music Awards.
So, without further ado, here are Bts' eight biggest moments of the year.

“I never trust a narcissist, but they love me / So I play 'em like a violin, and I make it look oh-so-easy.”
The opening line of “I Did Something Bad,” off of Taylor Swift’s newest album, Reputation, -- available now via iTunes -- is loaded with enough contradiction to make your head spin.
On one hand, it’s delightfully baffling to hear the word “narcissist” being levied by one of the world’s biggest pop stars -- who is literally launching a social media app that is entirely focused on herself. And yet, in its own frustrating way, the line is a cathartic moment of apparent honesty from an artist traditionally so guarded in “curated authenticity,” that we’ve never stopped questioning who the real Taylor is. If you choose to, it’s not hard to relate to the feeling -- allowing mistrust in your love life to consume you, to the point of...

Let’s take a moment to recall the 2008 MTV Vma Best New Artist nominees.
That year, Tokio Hotel (what?!) upset Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Jordin Sparks for the annual honor, in a sort of curse of fate that befalls many Best New Artists, as Tokio Hotel went on to not make much of an impact stateside (they’ve fared much better in their homeland of Germany), while Sparks grabbed a couple of chart-climbing hits, and Swift, Perry and Cyrus became… well, you know… megastars.

Perry’s 2010 Teenage Dream album is matched only by Michael Jackson’s Bad in the number of No. 1 singles it produced, Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” of an album frenzy was arguably the most culturally relevant (and arguably, appropriative) phenomenon of 2013, and Swift -- a self-image virtuoso and omnipresent millennial icon -- transformed from the “Teardrops on My Guitar” country darling, to the victim of the most infamous mic-grabbing in recorded...

Taylor Swift is set to release her sixth studio album, Reputation, on Friday, Nov. 10. And, regardless of your thoughts on the 27-year-old, she’s always had a way with words.
Which is why for months (years, arguably), die-hard fans, gossip lovers and even the media have been anxious to get a true glimpse into Swift’s life over the past three years.
Taylor Swift Drops Heartfelt New Single 'Call It What You Want' -- Listen!
The Grammy-winning artist has always let the music do the talking – it’s one of her greatest strengths. Heck, when she released 1989, she included packs of Polaroid photos in each hard copy – with a handwritten lyric from the album printed on each one. And we’re confident that this album will be no different. We’ve learned so much from the songs she’s already released -- not to mention the caption she left on an Instagram post on Aug. 25 after announcing the album:...

Swifties weren’t ready for it, but the newly released music video for “…Ready for It?” contains specific Easter eggs and could be validating some popular fan theories. Let the games begin!
In the anime-inspired visual, Taylor Swift plays with themes seen in sci-fi films such as Tron and Blade Runner as well as Ghost in the Shell, specifically Major Motoko’s cyborg shell. A little bit of the video game franchise, Final Fantasy, perhaps?
And the latest Joseph Kahn-directed footage even contains follow-up references originally made in the “Look What You Made Me Do” video as well as her past music videos.

Nicole Richie channels her inner Taylor Swift for a “Bad Blood” parody in Thursday’s episode of “Great News,” and NBC has just released the clip. Titled “Wash Dish, Bish” (a nod to “Swish Swish” by Swift’s former friend and rumored “Bad Blood” target Katy Perry, perhaps?), the music video parody is a shot fired by Richie’s character, Portia Scott-Griffith, in her own feud with her boss, Diana St. Tropez, played by guest star Tina Fey. Like Swift’s star-studded video, the parody trots out a handful of characters for short displays of violent badassery under semi-menacing nicknames like “Calamity” and “Kick-splosion.

Movies about rap battles are a rare breed. Of course, there’s the blisteringly ill rhymes in 2002’s Eminem-led drama “8 Mile,” and, more recently, this summer’s Sundance sensation “Patti Cake$,” featured a white New Jersey teenager dreaming of rap-stardom. But Hollywood has mostly stayed away from this incredibly popular urban underground activity where rappers battle in improv-filled, braggadocio-laden, lyric spouting contests.
Director Joseph Kahn — the filmmaker behind “Detention” and dozens of iconic music videos for artists, most notably Taylor Swift‘s “Bad Blood”– acts like he doesn’t care about what might be his audiences lack of knowledge of the topic.

Music video director Joseph Kahn made headlines in August when he shot down claims that he referenced visuals from Beyoncé’s 2016 Lemonade album in the music video for Taylor Swift‘s biting new single “Look What You Made Me Do.”
But now, rather than playing defense, Kahn is going on the offense — claiming it was Beyoncé who was in fact copying images in his and Swift’s 2015 video for “Bad Blood” when Bey made Lemonade the following year.

Yes he did. Joseph Kahn, the outspoken director of Taylor Swift's new comeback music video "Look What You Made Me Do," knows how to get people buzzing. In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, posted Thursday, he said he thinks Beyoncé copied the pop star's 2015 clip "Bad Blood," which he also directed. The footage features Swift and members of her girl squad, including Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid, as futuristic, gun-toting warriors.

Director Joseph Kahn has already denounced accusations that his music video for Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” bore a too-close resemblance to Beyonce’s “Formation,” and now he’s claiming Queen Bey actually copied Swift first. “It’s not ‘Formation’ at all,” the filmmaker told the Los Angeles Times. “They try to say she’s wearing a black crop top and Beyoncé wore a black crop top. But they don’t realize in 2015 in ‘Bad Blood,’ Taylor Swift was wearing a black crop top. I really do think, by the way, that Beyoncé copied ‘Bad Blood.

The video for Taylor Swift's new single, "Look What You Made Me Do," premiered during the MTV VMAs on Sunday night. The visual was packed with hidden references to Taylor's ex-lovers, celebrity feuds, and past personas - and during one scene, it appears that she may have taken a swipe at a few of her (former?) famous friends. RelatedTaylor Swift Spoke to My Soul, Until I Grew Up - and She Didn't Taylor's group of high-profile girlfriends - her "squad," if you will - has gotten a lot of attention and criticism over the years; many have brought up the fact that they all look similar (something the singer alluded to in the "Lwymmd" video) and question whether Taylor's seemingly revolving door of friendships is even real.

By now you're well aware that Taylor Swift released her new single, "Look What You Made Me Do" on Thursday night. While the song itself is getting some mixed reactions from fans on social media, it only took Nicki Minaj about 40 minutes to let her feelings be known via Twitter. Nigga sit down. Be humble - Nicki Minaj (@Nickiminaj) August 25, 2017 Yes, Ok, perhaps Nicki was just taking the time to share her love of Kendrick Lamar's "Humble," but it's more likely that she was responding to Taylor's late-night return to the music industry. Nicki and Taylor famously got into it back in 2015 after the "Bad Blood" singer inserted herself into Nicki's narrative about "Anaconda" not receiving a nomination and accusing MTV of only rewarding videos that "celebrate women with very slim bodies." The two later made up on stage at the show, but seeing as Nicki popped up...

2017-08-25T06:44:11-07:00Taylor Swift Promotes ABC Line Up
Taylor Swift has a new album and a love of ABC's Thursday-night dramas. Sounds like a perfect marketing storm to us.
Via The Hollywood Reporter.
ABC has turned to Taylor Swift to help promote the return of its Tgit-branded lineup of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder.
Timed with the release of Swift's new single "Look What You Made Me Do," the network on Thursday night rolled out the 30-second promo set to the catchy tune.
Swift is a noted Grey's Anatomy superfan — one of her cats is named Meredith, after star Ellen Pompeo's character on the Shonda Rhimes medical drama. The new Tgit promo is not Swift's first role in Shondaland — Grey's Anatomy featured Swift's "White Horse" in the season five premiere. What's more, Pompeo was among the cameos in Swift's "Bad Blood" video.

Music fans sure do love a good beef.
Nicki Minaj raised eyebrows Thursday night when she sent out a simple tweet that some speculated might be about Taylor Swift, who dropped her highly anticipated new single “Look What You Made Me Do” that same night.
“N—- sit down. Be humble,” the 34-year-old tweeted, referencing Kendrick Lamar‘s hit track “Humble.”
Minaj did not name Swift in the tweet, and it’s unclear whether the post was a jab at the 27-year-old singer at all. But that didn’t stop the Barbz — and the Swifties — from questioning whether the stars’ feud had been reignited.

We'll see about the VMAs . . . Original post: Another day, another snake video. After wiping her social media accounts clean last week, Taylor Swift has returned with some very mysterious, captionless posts of a snake - first of its tail, then of its body, and now, a terrifying look at its head. Remember when Taylor's Instagram account was flooded with the snake emoji in the wake of her feuds with Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian? Something tells us that probably has a little something to do with it.
