‘Supporting Role’ Review: Dato Bakhtadze Captivates in a Nocturnal Odyssey Through Tbilisi
A nocturnal odyssey through the spectral streets of Tbilisi is conjured with mesmerizing effect in Georgian writer-director Ana Urushadze’s “Supporting Role.” On the heavy heels of Niaz (Dato Bakhtadze), a lumbering Georgian movie star whose glory days are behind him, Urushadze’s second feature plays like an old-school Jim Jarmusch joint — all existential wandering and weird, winding conversations — but with a distinctly post-Soviet gallows humor. Having won a Special Jury award and the FIPRESCI prize at Rotterdam in January, the film now lands in the main competition at Sarajevo.

We built our systems to check transactions after the fact, and fraud lives in the word "after."

How much hydrogen awaits us underground?
In the 1990s, Barbara Sherwood Lollar descended into the Kidd Creek mine in northern Ontario, which cuts more than three kilometers into the ancient root of North America. There her team of geochemists found water that had been confined underground for more than a billion years. This ancient brine turned out to be a habitat for living microbes that feed on the hydrogen produced in reactions between the water and the rock.
Halloween: The Game Will Actually Be Available in New Zealand After All

In the wake of Halloween: The Game being refused classification in Australia last week, and the subsequent confirmation that the game would not be available in Australia and New Zealand as a result, IGN reached out to IllFonic to clarify why the New Zealand release was affected. For example, Hotline Miami 2 is a game that was refused classification in Australia (and has remained so, unlike most high-profile RC cases, where developers typically make small changes to skirt the country’s classification guidelines). However, while Hotline Miami 2 is not available on storefronts in Australia, it is still very much available digitally in New Zealand. So the news of Halloween: The Game needing to be unavailable in New Zealand didn’t quite add up.
