Even in the conservative 1980s, mainstream movies were happy to explore adult sexuality, while the modern four-quadrant blockbuster world leaves us dry (so to speak) for fear of excluding any youngster who might be in the audience. Even the superhero movie couples of ages pastSuperman (Christopher Reeve) and Lois (Margot Kidder), or Batman (Michael Keaton) and Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer)generated real heat compared to our modern, Disney-fied view of cinematic romance. While there have been some promising developments on this front over the past year (Challengers, Babygirl), on the whole, movies just don't seem as horny as they used to.So let's celebrate all the films that are just aching for it. Movies in which every scene seems fueled by pent-up desire, roiling with need, drenched in straight-up horniness. Echoing real life, these movies are positively lousy with people who desperately want to fuck. None of the horniest movies qualify as pornsome dont even have any traditional sex scenesbut every one of them is DTF from the first frame to the end credits.Poor Things (2023) What if Frankenstein, but sexy? Yorgos Lanthimos adapts the 1992 Alasdair Gray novel with Emma Stone in the lead role as a reanimated corpse with the mind of a child, gradually discovering the Victorian world around her. Simple-minded at first, she appears monstrous before discovering something like free will which leads, perhaps inevitably, to the joys of masturbation. She becomes hungryravenous, evento experience the world, and lacks the inhibitions imposed on other women of her era. And, honestly: get it. You can stream Poor Things on Hulu or rent it from Prime Video. Poor Things (2023) at Hulu Learn More Learn More at Hulu Bram Stokers Dracula (1992) Though its an element largely absent from the source material, cinemas reigning prince of darkness has been depicted as one horny motherfucker since at least 1931, when Bela Lugosi brought an eastern European regality and seductiveness to the role. The Hammer Horror updates of the 1960s introduced an even more overtly charming Dracula, and the vampires-equal-sexy ethos has since spread out to encompass the entire vampire genre, from Interview With the Vampire to Twilight (two exceptionally horny films well discuss later). The lurid Francis Ford Coppola take, though, is something else entirely, particularly in the films first half: Draculas sumptuous (if rotting) castle is dressed for Roman-style orgies, full of bare-chested, man-hungry brides; Keanu Reeves wanders its halls in a psychedelic haze, and with an obvious, all-but-visible movie-length boner. Things dont let up much once the actions shifts to London, and a now more-human-looking Gary Oldman begins his pursuit of Winona Ryders Mina, who is significantly younger than he is.

The United States, Japan and South Korea have issued a warning against North Korean threat actors, who are actively and aggressively targeting the cryptocurrency industry. In their joint advisory, the countries said threat actor groups affiliated with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) continue to stage numerous cybercrime campaigns to steal cryptocurrency. Those bad actors including the Lazarus hacking group, which the US believes has been deploying cyber attacks all over the world since 2009 target "exchanges, digital asset custodians and individual users." And apparently, they stole $659 million in crypto assets in 2024 alone.North Korean hackers have been using "well-disguised social engineering attacks" to infiltrate their targets' systems, the countries said. They also warned that the actors could get access to systems owned by the private sector by posing as freelance IT workers. Back in 2022, the US issued guidelines on how to identify potential workers from North Korea, such as how they'd typically log in from multiple IP addresses, transfer money to accounts based in the People's Republic of China, ask for crypto payments, have inconsistencies with their background information and be unreachable at times during their supposed business hours.Once the bad actors are in, they then usually deploy malware, such as keyloggers and remote access tools, to be able to steal login credentials and, ultimately, virtual currency they can control and sell. As for where the stolen funds go: The UN issued a report in 2022, revealing its investigators' discovery that North Korea uses money stolen by affiliated threat actors for its missile programs. "Our three governments strive together to prevent thefts, including from private industry, by the DPRK and to recover stolen funds with the ultimate goal of denying the DPRK illicit revenue for its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs," the US, Japan and South Korea said.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/north-korea-stole-659-million-in-crypto-assets-last-year-the-us-says-133029741.html?src=rss

Millions of Southern Californians were on edge as a final round of dangerous fire weather was forecast for the region on Wednesday, along with a rare warning of a Particularly Dangerous Situation for an area near where two massive blazes have killed at least 25 and destroyed thousands of homes.Firefighters got a reprieve Tuesday when winds were unexpectedly light and they were able to make progress battling the two huge Los Angeles area fires and quickly snuff out several new fires.The Eaton Fire burning just north of Los Angeles and the Palisades Fire that destroyed much of the seaside LA neighborhood of Pacific Palisades broke out Jan. 7 in conditions similar to whats expected Wednesday. High winds last week pushed flames at remarkable speed and carried fire-sparking embers sometimes miles away.The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings done when temperatures are warm, humidity is low and strong winds are expected from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. from the Central Coast 275 miles (443 kilometers) south to the border with Mexico. The Particularly Dangerous Situation was in effect for an area that includes parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.Key message: We are not out of the woods yet, the weather service said in a post late Tuesday. The winds underperformed today, but one more enhancement could happen tonight-tomorrow.More than 77,000 households were without electricity as utilities shut off power to prevent their lines from sparking new blazes.A state of alertWeary and anxious residents were told to be ready to flee at a moments notice. They remained vigilant, keeping an eye on the skies and on each other: Police announced roughly 50 arrests, for looting, flying drones in fire zones, violating curfew and other crimes.Of those, three people were arrested on suspicion of arson after being seen setting small fires that were immediately extinguished, LA Police Chief Jim McDonnell said. One was using a barbecue lighter, another ignited brush and a third tried to light a trash can, he said. All were far outside the disaster zones. Authorities have not determined a cause for any of the major fires.Among nine people charged with looting was a group that stole an Emmy award from an evacuated house, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said.The biggest worry remained the threat from intense winds. Now backed by firefighters from other states, Canada and Mexico, crews were deployed to attack flareups or new blazes. The firefighting force was much bigger than a week ago, when the first wave of fires began destroying thousands of homes in what could become the nations costliest fire disaster.Kaylin Johnson and her family planned to spend the night at their home, one of the few left standing in Altadena, near Pasadena. They intended to keep watch to ward off looting and to hose down the house and her neighbors properties to prevent flareups.Our lives have been put on hold indefinitely, Johnson said via text message, adding that they cannot freely come and go because of restrictions on entering the burn areas. But I would rather be here and not leave than to not be allowed back at all.Packed and ready to goResidents said they were ready to make a hasty escape.Javier Vega, who said he feels like he has been sleeping with one eye open, and his girlfriend have planned out how they can quickly pack up their two cats, eight fish and leopard gecko if they get orders to evacuate.Typically on any other night, hearing helicopters flying overhead from midnight to 4:00 in the morning, that would drive anyone crazy, Vega said. But figuring they were helping firefighters to keep the flames from threatening their neighborhood, he explained, it was actually soothing for me to go to sleep.Preparing for another outbreakPlanes doused homes and hillsides with bright pink fire-retardant chemicals, while crews and fire engines deployed to particularly vulnerable spots with dry brush.Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and other officials who were criticized over their initial response expressed confidence that the region is ready to face the new threat. The mayor said she was able to fly over the disaster areas, which she described as resembling the aftermath of a dry hurricane.Winds this time were not expected to reach the same fierce speeds seen last week but they could ground firefighting aircraft, LA County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said.He urged homeless people to avoid starting fires for warmth and to seek shelter.Wildfires on the rise across LAWith almost no rain in more than eight months, the brush-filled region has had more than a dozen wildfires this year, mostly in the greater Los Angeles area.Firefighters have jumped on small blazes that popped up, quickly smothering several in Los Angeles county, including a blaze Tuesday evening in the Angeles National Forest.The four largest fires around the nations second-biggest city have scorched more than 63 square miles (163 square kilometers), roughly three times the size of Manhattan. Of these, the Eaton Fire near Pasadena was roughly one-third contained, while the largest blaze, in Pacific Palisades on the coast, was far less contained.Searching for victimsThe death toll is likely to rise, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. Nearly 30 people were still missing, he said Tuesday. Some people reported as missing earlier have been found.Just under 90,000 people in the county remained under evacuation orders, half the number from last week.Hollywood on holdHollywoods awards season has been put on hiatus because of the crisis. The Oscar nominations have been delayed twice, and some organizations postponed their awards shows and announcements without rescheduling.Watson reported from San Diego, and Seewer from Toledo, Ohio.

Remember the pre-smartphone era, when cell phone design was fun and experimental? When phones had actual buttons?Here's a chance to revisit some of those designs: Today Finland's Aalto University launches the Nokia Design Archive. Freely accessible to all online, it contains "sketches, photographs, presentations, interviews and more, spanning the 'golden era' of a company that once laid claim to almost half the global market share in smartphones." "Visualisations and expert analysis guide visitors through over 700 curated entries spanning from the mid-90s to 2017 with an uncurated repository containing some 20,000 items and 959GB of born-digital files the content licensed from Microsoft Mobile for research and education purposes when Nokia's handset operations were put to rest and the brand relaunched under a different parent company. The project was spearheaded by lead researcher Professor Anna Valtonen, a former Nokia designer who well remembers her time at the company, some 20 years ago. "What we had at the time were phones with black and white screens that could take calls and send a text message," Valtonen says. "At the time, we were asking: Could the mobile phone be something more? What are our wildest dreams for what a phone could do?" "In the early ages of Nokia, there was a genuine wish to understand people, how they live, what makes them tick. Now we're at a similar point of societal transformation with AI. Nobody has concretised what it is yet, but we need to get people thinking about what could be." "The Archive reveals how designers made visions concrete so that they could be properly explored long before they became reality. It reminds us that we do have agency and we can shape our world by revealing the work of many people who did just that."Dive into the archive here.
