Game Pass has been making big inroads on PC with a growing catalog of games for that side of the subscription service, and September is shaping up to be a bigger (and more expensive) month in that regard with plenty of resource gathering, geopolitical warfare, and fraught moral decisions to navigate.
Enotria: The Last Song is a new, sun-drenched Soulslike inspired by Italian folklore and it’s out in just a couple weeks. But not on Xbox. While the game will be available for PlayStation 5 and PC players on September 17, the game has been indefinitely delayed on Series X/S over problems with the platform submission…

Ethan Hawke is no stranger to taking the air out of some mainstream franchises. Years ago, Hawke would criticize those who praised Logan by putting it in his perspective, “Well, it’s a great superhero movie. It still involves people in tights with metal coming out of their hands. It’s not Bresson. It’s not Bergman. But they talk about it like it is.” In an ironic twist of fate, Hawke would then go on to star with Oscar Issac in the dark superhero series Moon Knight for Marvel Studios, which streamed on Disney+. Since partaking in that project, he’s somewhat walked back on his criticisms about the superhero genre as a whole. However, Hawke continues to present that there is a clear distinction between cinema’s big fantasy films and smaller human stories.
Hawke appeared at the Venice Film Festival in a master class, and it was here that he illustrated how franchises like Harry Potter and Star Wars don’t necessarily leave you with a fulfilled feeling. According to Entertainment Weekly, Hawke would explain during the master class, “If you go see Harry Potter or Star Wars or something, which I’ve seen a million times, and I love them, but when they are over, I feel slightly disappointed that I’m not a wizard or not a Jedi. And I walk through my life thinking, ‘I wish I were a Jedi.’ And when you see a Richard Linklater film, you walk out feeling, ‘Well, I’ve done that. I’ve met a person, I’ve connected with another human being, and that was important, and that was magic.’”
He continued, “It’s kind of like that old Zen quote: ‘You don’t have to walk on water, you get to walk on Earth’. Isn’t that amazing? I feel that’s what Richard Linklater’s movies do, is remind you that it’s a miracle that we walk on Earth and that we breathe at all, and that there’s whales and giraffes and life is unbelievable if you don’t hyperbolize it.”
The actor would work with Richard Linklater in a trilogy of films that were un-franchise-like with Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight. He would also star in Linklater’s Boyhood, which famously featured Ellar Coltrane, an actor who grew up in real-time over the course of the film. Hawke and Linklater had collaborated in “9 or 10 films together, depending on how you count,” Hawke said. He would also credit Linklater for him forming his mature take on movies. “That was the beginning of my adult relationship to movies, making Before Sunrise, and the friendship [with Linklater] that came after that,” Hawke expounded.

Whenever the family of Bruce Willis gives an update on his health, it tends to be words and thoughts of positivity. And that is no different in this case, as Tallulah Willis – the youngest daughter of Bruce and Demi Moore – has offered some insight into the environment the actor has found himself in.
Speaking with E! News, Tallulah Willis said that emotions have anchored the family during these tough times as patriarch Bruce continues his battle with frontotemporal dementia. “Our visits have so much love and I feel that…and that overarches anything for me—being able to have that connection. I know he knows how much I love him. I know how much he loves me. I know how much he loves all of us.” She would add, “There’s so much love in our family. There’s not a fragility to the support, or a conditionality to how we support each other.”
Bruce Willis’ family has been quite protective of him ever since his diagnosis in 2023, which forced him into retirement. Rightfully so, as we all know how brutal the internet and press can be. And while most have backed off and given Bruce Willis the space he requires, fans of his are lucky that all of those who remain close to him have been generous enough to provide updates. Hopefully this continues, as so many of us are rooting for the star.
Rumer Willis – the oldest daughter of Bruce and Moore – recently explained why she finds it so important to continue sharing news about her father. As she put it, “Our vulnerability and transparency as a family about what he’s going through to me is so important because if it can have any impact on another family that is struggling in any way with something like this, or bring more attention to the disease in hopes of finding a cure or anything that can be of service to anybody else, I think is really important.”
We hope to continue getting positive news about Bruce Willis, as he’s not just one of our favorite movie stars ever but stands as an inspiration off the screen as well.
