Not at all HG Wells' THE INVISIBLE MAN, but Leigh Whannell's INVISIBLE MAN packs a wallop!

He's watching you right now

Hey folks, Harry here... 2018's UPGRADE by Leigh Whannell was one of them low budget out of left field genre delights that not only knocked my socks off, but washed and ironed them too. Shortly after it made geeks fave of the year lists, it was announced that Leigh would be directing a remake, of what I personally hold as my favorite Universal Horror film... 1933's classic James Whale production of HG Wells' THE INVISIBLE MAN starring the irreplaceable Claude Rains.
What is it about this film that just makes me go gaga? It is the meglomaniacal rantings of the scientist driven mad by the chemicals that turned him invisible. Whale's whale of a tale can barely take its lens off of Rains' unseen glee. Tis a perfect film, timeless and something I seriously feel will never be topped - though it has been tried.
In my mind, if I were remaking Wells' story for the modern day, he'd hold the world hostage... causing Chernobyl style disasters, releasing pathogens... going big and monstrous. I wanted an Invisible Man that would live up to Rains' braggadaccio and bring the whole world to its knees.

The great thing about movies is that the people that adapt the material think in different ways than you do. I knew my dream wasn't gonna come true this time out - and if you're carrying in H.G. Wells into the theater - you'll likely be disappointed.

Common Causes of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problems

Imagine settling in for the night to watch a few episodes of your favorite binge-worthy TV show when suddenly, your streaming service stops loading, and all you can do is watch the Wi-Fi go in and out, hoping the endless buffering stops soon. You might be gritting your teeth just thinking about it — you and 7 billion other people. The demand for Wi-Fi is now global. In a study, 75% of people reported that they’d be grumpier during a week without Wi-Fi than they would during a week without coffee. In fact, 60% of the same group said they couldn’t go without Wi-Fi for even one day! When the Wi-Fi is down, our internet-dependent world quickly comes to a halt. Our emails stop loading, our virtual assistants stop responding, our tablets and laptops become useless, and our phones dip into our precious data supply. Approximately 71% of all our mobile communication occurs over wireless internet, according to Wi-Fi Alliance, and surveys say we like it that way. Wi-Fi is now the preferred me...
