A giant Pumpkin balloon bounces through Arizona terrifying children and ruining Halloween.

Halloween isn’t the same without candy, costumes and pumpkins. But, one pumpkin has gone wild in Peoria, Arizona.

According to multiple reports, a 25-foot tall, 350 pound inflatable pumpkin got on the loose “bouncing like a basketball”.

“I was so shocked to see that it was like bouncing like a basketball all the way down the road,” Patrick Sparkes with Big AZ Promotions, the pumpkin’s owner, told local 12News.

The pumpkin was to be used for a local party but, it broke free after storm winds. Following nearly hour long search, the pumpkin was found in a park. The pumpkin was later deflated.

This is not the first time an inflatable balloon got loose. Just a few days ago the JLENS blimp broke free of its tether in Maryland and floated all the way to Pennsylvania where it finally collapsed onto the ground.

I smell a movie idea…the rise of the haunted balloons.

Internet is going crazy after seeing a kid version of Pablo Escobar.

Someone decided to dress up this little kid up as the notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, complete with a tacky Hawaiian shirt, parted curly hair, mustache, a tiny gun, and a briefcase full of money.

The adults at the party seem really entertained. Especially as the kid even fist bumps other adults. The website, Break, also found this pretty funny, posting the video on Facebook with the caption, “Little Pablo Escobar runs the biggest fun size Snickers cartel…”

However, as The Latin Times points out, many commenters found this extremely offensive. “I can’t wait to dress my children up in the most offensive, inappropriate costumes ever. I want at least 10 phone calls to Social Services questioning my parenting abilities,” writes one Facebook user.

“I do not think this is funny. Pablo Escobar is tied to murdering thousands people (many of them innocent),” writes another, who then binge-watches Netflix’s Narcos, to research the damage Escobar did the Columbian people.

Ultimately, this poor kid has NO idea what is going on and is probably extremely confused as to why everyone is laughing at him and his minature briefcase.

Tom Hanks reveals his first movie role and his very first audition and it’s pretty amazing.

Before becoming an A-list actor, winning Academy Awards, and a house hold name across the world. Tom Hanks was a struggling actor just trying to make it. Since then, Tom Hanks has worked on some of the biggest movies of all times including Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump. 

Nowadays, Tom Hanks is busy promoting his new Oscar contending movie, Bridge of Spies and filming his new movie with Clint Eastwood, Sully. In a recent interview with BuzzFeed, Tom Hanks sat down and went through all of the movies he has made in his filmmaking career. One of the most interesting parts of the Tom Hanks interview occurred when Hanks revealed what it was like to audition for his first movie role.

From :

The very first movie I made, I didn’t even know the process of being cast. I was in New York and I was just an actor who was trying to bounce around, and I went to some audition and it was by Lansbury–Beruh — they were the guys that were producing, among other things, Godspell. I went up to their office and they had all these posters for Broadway shows and I thought, Wow. These are really big heavy hitters. The audition was for a low-budget horror movie called He Knows You’re Alone — actually, the script I read was called The Uninvited. And I did this kind of general audition and they said, “OK, you’ll be in the movie. We don’t know who you’re going to play, but you’ll be in the movie.” And I said, “Is that how it works? Just like that?”

Tom Hanks then breaks down what it was like filming the low budget horror movie. Ultimately, it was nothing like what he sees nowadays.

I ended up having two days on it — we shot it out in the wintertime in Staten Island — and we were all in one Winnebago and stuff like that. But I kept looking for the equipment and I didn’t realize that that was the camera because it was so small. I was like, Where’s Busby Berkeley sitting on a big massive thing with blimps over it trying to keep it quiet?Instead, it was this very small Aeroflex. And I couldn’t believe it. … I was more confused than anything.

Tom Hanks is currently filming his new movie Sully in New York City and Atlanta, Georgia. Sully stars Tom Hanks as Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and his life before and after the heroic crash landing along the Hudson River in New York City. If you can’t remember, Sullenberger was a piloting US Airways Flight 1549 when it struck a flock of birds.

Popcorn Time, the most popular version of torrent streaming, has been shut down for good.

The application, which became popular for the ease to stream torrents of TV shows and movies, no longer works and the domain that hosted the streaming service is now offline.

Shut down of Popcorn Time all started last week as developers behind the streaming service pulled the plug on the project. Several of the developers decided to quit early last week after a decision to introduce a paid anonymous VPN service.

The developers feared that by adding a paid element to the free streaming service it would open them to lawsuits.

In the past, Popcorn Time lawyers have filtered through copyright infringement cases and laws, they argue that it is essentially a legal program since, users of the program are not actually downloading movies but instead are, streaming them to their computer. Although it provided access to pirated content, Popcorn Time claimed that it did not violate any laws.

In addition, sources close to The Daily Dot also that “some devs grew unsure about their liabilities towards the content the app presented.”

Now, several of the developers are working on another project called the Butter Project:

This new project, hosted on GitHub, is basically your beloved Popcorn Time stripped down of the parts that made people wary. Butter is created so that anyone can contribute to great desktop and mobile apps that allows to stream movies and shows from Bittorrent (and other sources, but more on that later) in a stylish and easy way.

We hope to clear doubts in developers so that we can continue doing what we love: hacking a great experience for our users.

While it looks as though it may be a few months before Butter Project becomes available to the public, Popcorn Time is officially done. Members of the development team behind Popcorn Time told the streaming news outlet Torrent Freak that they lost control of the domain. “I shutdown all the servers, there is nothing I can do anymore. I deleted any logs that can be harmful for any other dev,” he told .

While there are other versions of Popcorn Time, many people argue that these variants are littered with bugs, viruses, and adware.

This is good news for Hollywood studios and executives. Recently, producers started lawsuits against users of Popcorn Time. In fact, the producers of Survivor have sued 16 people who used the torrent software Popcorn Time for pirating the title. Independent Hollywood companies are aggressively trying to stop online copyright infringement.

From Variety:

Nu Image and Millennium Films, the company behind “Survivor,” identified the users by their IP addresses and are seeking their true identities via subpoenas to Internet service providers. Nu Image and Millennium say that the movie has been downloaded illegally “hundreds of thousands of times and counting,” including more than 10,000 times in Oregon, where the lawsuit was filed.

They said that they are seeking to resolve cases for $750 each in damages, even though infringement carries a maximum of $150,000 in each instance.

In their lawsuit the producers identify Popcorn Time as “software that is specifically designed for committing theft,” and say that users accept a terms of service agreement that includes a provision warning that “by watching a movie with this application you might be committing copyright violations.”

“Popcorn Time makes it clear through its terms of service that its users are willfully committing copyright infringement and gives them a clear option to opt out before engaging in criminal activity,” said Avi Lerner, chairman and founder of Nu Image. “It’s time that we hold people responsible for their action.”
