Gary Busey was caught pulling his trousers down in a public park days after he was charged with committing several sexual offences at a fan convention in New Jersey.
In a paparazzi-captured video, the 78-year-old Academy Award nominee was seen pulling his trousers down at a public park in California.
As per Page Six, Busey was sitting on a bench at Point Dume Park in Malibu with his sweatpants by his knees.
In the video, his hands appeared to be crossed over his legs when he proceeded to pull up his trousers, and later, smoked a cigar.
It is unclear why Busey pulled his trousers down. The Independent has contacted his representatives for comment.
Last week, the Buddy Holly Story star was charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment.

Actor Gary Busey has been charged with committing several sexual offences at a fan convention in New Jersey.
The 78-year-old from Malibu, California, was charged on Friday with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment, Cherry Hill police said in a statement on Saturday.
The incidents are alleged to have occurred at the Monster Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill, a Philadelphia suburb, between 12 and 14 August, police said.
The actor was a featured guest for all three days of the event.
A police source told a Fox29 reporterthat three women had reported that the actor had touched them inappropriately during an autograph signing and meet and greet.
Cherry Hill police said the investigation was continuing and appealed for anyone with information to contact them.

The controversial and contentious experiment where Warner Bros. has debuted its 2021 slate of feature films on HBO Max will hit a crescendo in October thanks to the releases of “The Many Saints of Newark” and “Dune” on the streaming platform. Both “Many Saints” producer and co-writer David Chase and “Dune” filmmaker Denis Villeneuve have criticized the corporate decision to release films day-and-date in theaters and via HBO Max, but despite the outcry, the two highly anticipated features lead a massive lineup of acclaimed library movie titles and Emmy Award-winning original series coming to the network in October 2021. Highlights include:
“Curb Your Enthusiasm” (October): Larry David’s Emmy Award-winning series returns for its 11th season in October and will tackle the coronavirus pandemic in a way that feels organic to the show and its protagonist. “We figured out a way that we are definitely living in a reality where the pandemic has happened,...

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.
Today, Conor and I try to ice skate uphill to talk about Wesley Snipes! Our Snipes B-Sides include: Boiling Point, Drop Zone, U.S. Marshals, and The Art of War. The action star broke onto the scene in the mid-80s, turned heads with Major League, then dished out a slew of hits.
We discuss what makes Snipes the perfect action star, what changed for his career (good and bad) in the late ‘90s, and his recent Hollywood comeback.
Additional topics include Snipes’ amazing character names (Flipper Purify! John Cutter!), his multi-hyphenate accomplishments, and the high energy that often separates him from the fray.

There’s a lot to do in Marvel’s Avengers, the new action-adventure game starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, who are on a mission to take down Modok and his Advanced Idea Mechanics, an evil tech corporation hellbent on taking over the world. On top of a single-player campaign with 19 core story missions, there are also over 80 War Zone, Drop Zone, and Iconic multiplayer missions to choose from in the game. And if you want to hit each character’s max power and level cap, you’ll need to do quite a bit of this stuff.
With max power set at 150 and the level cap at 50, the road to maxing out each hero is going to be a very long one. Characters’ power levels are increased by finding and equipping better gear on the field. Each piece of gear comes with a specific power level. Thankfully, resources you find on...

Saban Films has acquired North American rights to John Berardo’s Initiation. The horror crime thriller was previously selected for a world premiere in the Midnighters section at SXSW under its original title Dembanger.

The Star Wars games are, for many, a fond memory of console gaming 10-15 years ago – huddled around a screen the size of a slice of bread, trying to play split-screen against The Empire with limited visibility. Despite the technological limitations, the original games were brilliant and therefore the rebirth of Star Wars Battlefront (2015) a decade later was met with eager anticipation. I, for one, was not disappointed by the startling progress in-between. The infamous frustration that now surrounds the latest instalment Star Wars Battlefront II (2017), is that whilst it appears to have taken on the feedback from the previous game, there have been some nonsensical changes that have dismantled some of the aspects that determined its predecessor’s success.
The graphics of the 2015 release portrayed the landscapes in all their beauty with painstaking attention to detail, immersive sound design and striking ambition. The online features, particularly the Walker Assault game mode,...

Star Wars Battlefront developer Dice has been making some rather substantial and extensive changes under the game’s hood for its February update and frankly, we’re not sure where to start – the list is freaking massive.
Before we start dissecting all of the little, large and much-needed changes though, you’re probably more interested in the new content that’s been added with the patch.
First up is the new Twilight on Hoth map that’s been added to several modes, including Walker Assault, Drop Zone and Heroes vs. Villains. Judging by the map name, expect to be battling it out as the Rebels or Empire in the freezing midnight blizzard that sweeps through the snow-covered planet when the sun (or is it suns?) sets.

Booting up Star Wars Battlefront for the first time was a truly special moment. Familiar logos adorn the screen, while John Williams’ timeless music begins to play, and it finally dawned on me that the day has come. It’s been a long wait to see the Star Wars franchise return to full form, and while the upcoming The Force Awakens is a few months out, Battlefront serves as an excellent distraction until the big day arrives. Granted, I’d be doing a disservice to Battlefront and developer Dice by dismissing their newest title as another cog in the giant marketing machine that is the Star Wars franchise. In fact, Star Wars Battlefront is one of the most thrilling shooters I’ve played in recent memory.

After much deliberation and speculation regarding their inclusion, Dice finally made it official late last week that, yes, Star Wars Battlefront would include a roster of Hero characters beyond simply the father-son duo of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Specifically, the studio has rendered the likes of Han Solo, Leio Organa and the malevolent Emperor Palpatine, with players getting the chance to control either hero or villain throughout the course of an in-game skirmish.
But what of the star vehicles? Since the first gameplay clip for the Fighter Squadron mode debuted online, budding fans have wondered whether the Millennium Falcon and Boba Fett’s Slave I ship will feature in Battlefront. We’re pleased to report that both will be included in this specific, airborne game mode, and today’s Dice blog delved into the finer details about unlocking both of the fan-favorite ships.

EA details the character abilities we'll see as we play Han, Leia or Palpatine in Star Wars: Battlefront...
We're already preparing our best gravelly "Fully operational battle station" Emperor Palpatine impression, as EA reveals details of three additional characters in Star Wars: Battlefront. As you've probably gathered, they're household names from the Star Wars-verse: on the side of all that's good in the galaxy, there's Leia Organa and Han Solo. On the side of evil, the cackling, scheming Emperor Palpatine in his fright make-up.
They join the characters already announced - Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Darth Vader - as the six heroes and villains we'll be able to briefly control at certain moments in the game. Each will have their own unique ability; Luke with his Force Pushes, Sabre Rushes and Smouldering Sulk ability (we may have made the last one up), Vader with...

After over a year of teases and tasters, EA’s much contested reboot of the Battlefront franchise finally made its way to the couches of many a Star Wars fan this week, and I’m extremely happy to report that the hype seems to have paid off.
Now whilst the beta may have drawn to a close this Monday, it’d be hard to argue that it hasn’t left a lasting impression. With but a few game modes to choose from (Walker Assault, Drop Zone and Survival), the developers at Dice showed off what may just be their strongest videogame offering yet – with years of hardwork and dedication finally culminating in a Star Wars experience that feels as much a love letter to the film series as it does its fans. Needless to say, there’s a lot packed into this online shooter.
Everything from the sound design...

Star Wars Battlefront is going to send you on a droid run in one of three newly-announced game modes.
The upcoming first-person adventure will reinvent classic game modes with Hero Hunt, Cargo and the fan-favourite Droid Run.
These three new modes follow along with Star Wars Battlefront's announcement that a $50 season pass will come with four expansion packs.
In terms of the new modes, Hero Hunt will allow you to play as your favourite Rebel or Empire character to chase after seven foes from the opposing side.
In Cargo mode, you will be tasked with sneaking into an enemy base, retrieving as many valuable items as possible and returning to your own base within a 15-minute round.
Finally in the "unpredictable and fast" Droid Run, you have to master the controls to three very unruly droids in a six-on-six competition.
These new modes will be playable alongside the already-announced Walker Assault on Hoth,...

With barely a month to go before Star Wars Battelfront releases, and with so many having enjoyed this past weekend's open Beta, EA has finally revealed All of the modes you'll be able to play, along with details on their season pass for Dlc. Come inside to check it all out.
The rollout of information on Star Wars Battlefront has been steady, but piecemeal. We've heard details on Blast Mode, Drop Zone Mode, Fighter Squadron, and Walker Assault (a few of those are playable in the beta), but today EA has spilled the beans on everything else you'll be able to play when the game launches next month.
I've been playing the beta (poorly, if I'm to be judged by the stream we did) and been enjoying myself quite a bit. The fun factor on the game is through the roof, the addition of these new modes will probably only add to it.

The open beta for Dice’s Star Wars Battlefront is currently available for download on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The beta will last 5 days (ending October 12th), and includes 2 different multiplayer modes, as well as a singleplayer/co-op mode.
The first multiplayer mode is called ‘Drop Zone’, it’s an 8 vs 8 mode with a single objective that both teams fight to control. A drop pod will spawn at a random location on the map, the first team to run up to the pod and hold the X button next to it for a few seconds will claim the pod. Once claimed, the pod must be defended for several minutes. If the opposing team manages to steal your pod, they gain control of it, and the timer for defending the pod resets. Once a pod is successfully defended, the team that claimed it earns a point, and another pod spawns at a random location.

We told you when the beta is coming, and now we have more information on the file size among other details for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront beta! Check it out!
New details released by EA showcase that the beta file size will be 7Gb on PS4 and Xbox One. PC will be slightly larger at 11Gb. That is not the only difference either as pre-loading the game will be ready for the PC version, while Xbox One and PS4 will not have the option. (PC users can pre-load the game via Origin starting October 7th)
The level cap for the beta will be level 5. Once you hit the cap you will not progress to further levels, but you will still be able to unlock new items. (Final level cap in the game has not been revealed.) Your unlock and level will not carry forward to the final game, at all.

Developer Electronic Arts has announced that the open beta for Star Wars Battlefront will be available from October 8th through October 12th on its given platforms of Xbox One, PC, and Playstation 4, and feature three of the game’s core modes across three planets: Walker Assault on Hoth, Survival Mission on Tatooine and Drop Zone on Battlefront‘s first-ever interpretation of the Star Wars Expanded Universe planet of Sullust.
Walker Assault sees you fighting as a Rebel or an Imperial as they help or hinder the onslaught of At-at walkers in their march towards Echo Base. Battlefront‘s Drop Zone, meanwhile, sees players competing in a frantic 8v8 multiplayer match to reclaim and control a barrage of incoming escape pods in a strategic game of king of the hill on Sullust’s volcanic plateaus.
Lastly, Survival Mission lets you play alone or with an ally via co-op or split-screen as...

As part of EA’s ongoing community update series for Star Wars Battlefront, the mega-publisher announced that shooter’s forthcoming beta will be open to all users.
Slated to go live in October, the vertical slice will contain “both offline and online modes including co-op and split-screen co-op,” with featured maps including the bombastic Walker Assault – the Hoth mission that has occupied a fair share of the game’s marketing – along with the new-fangled Drop Zone mode on Sullust.
More News From The Web
Making the announcement was Community Manager Mathew Everett, who asked budding participants for patience while EA and Dice nail down an official star date for the Star Wars Battlefront beta. In the meantime, here’s what Everett had to say on the game’s official blog.
Now that we have officially announced the beta, most of you are just itching to know how you can get in.

In "Drop Zone", gamers will be able to play eight on eight matches where they have to protect drop pods which land on the surface of whatever map you're playing on. You can see an example of that in one of the new Star Wars Battlefront images below, while the other focuses on Darth Vader. "We’re promoting the idea of a fast, action-packed game where you need to be mobile and think on your feet," says Lead Level Designer Dennis Brännvall. "Camping doesn’t really pay off…Playing Drop Zone on the Swamp Crash Site on Endor is a personal favorite. The map has a couple of nice choke points but is overall very free-flowing and hectic, as enemies can attack from anywhere on that level. The fight takes place around a crashed Gr-75 transport ship with containers from the craft strewn across the landscape, and there’s one...

To date, Dice and publisher EA have showcased some of the nominal game modes that will be available in Star Wars Battlefront – namely Walker Assault, Blast and the sky-scrapping Fighter Squadron mode. But as teased late last month, one of the new additions that will feature in October’s beta test is that of Drop Zone, with EA touting the game mode as a “King of the Hill-style” experience.
Swapping the bombastic 40-player action of Walker Assault, Drop Zone is said to be a more confined gameplay experience, with two teams of 8 battling it out to control the lion’s share of the drop pods that litter the alien environment. Much like other modes in the galactic shooter, the roster of players will be divided into the Rebel Alliance and the Empire at random.

As the launch of Star Wars Battlefront closes in, EA details another of its modes: Drop Zone...
"Keep watching the skies" seems to be the key bit of advice in Drop Zone, the latest Star Wars Battlefront mode unveiled by EA.
Eight-versus-eight teams of Rebels and Empire forces fight to capture and control diving bell-like pods, which will randomly drop from the sky and land on the planet surface. Once claimed, these pods will unleash a few useful Power Pickups, thus giving players an added incentive to locate and gain possession of them. The risk, however, is that hanging around one pod for too long will trigger an orbital strike, with deadly results.
It's all part of EA's plans to create a game where players are constantly moving and fighting; even a tussle over the possession of one pod won't result in a tedious stalemate, but rather the deployment of another pod somewhere else,...

When EA teased their upcoming Beta for Star Wars Battlefront, they revealed a new game mode, Drop Zone would be playable in it. Today, they've explained what exactly that mode will entail when the game hits. Come inside to learn more!
EA's official Star Wars Battlefront site has dropped some more juicy news for eager gamers and Star Wars fans, with the reveal of Drop Zone mode. The mode will give two teams of eight players a multitude of "pods" to control as they drop from the sky. Finding them, and controlling them are part of the fun, and keeping them in your possession is where it gets tricky. Check out more info:
Similar to “King of the Hill”-style experiences, the objective in Drop Zone centers on drop pods falling through the atmosphere onto the planet surfaces. In tight 8-versus-8 matches, Rebel and Empire teams fight to capture and control these pods.

As development ramps up on Star Wars Battlefront, the high-profile licensed game is beginning to reach a consumer-ready build. With a closed alpha done and dusted, EA and developer Dice have now announced plans to host a beta test for the shooter, pegging the bout of testing for early October.
No word yet on a specific star date for the beta, though Dice did divulge details relating to the content that will be playable in the early, pre-release build. Placing the much-touted Walker Assault mode front and center, early adopters will spend a large portion of the early playtime with Battlefront on the icy planet of Hoth, as members of the Empire and Rebel Alliance duke it out across the planet’s snowy plains. Perhaps most exciting of all is the fact that players will be able to unlock two of the game’s hero classes: Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

Yes, 1994. The year cinemas were dominated by such whimsical wonders as The Lion King, Forrest Gump, The Mask and, erm, True Lies. It was also the year Gump dominated the Academy Awards, and Four Weddings And A Funeral loomed large at the Baftas.
As ever, there was so much more to the year's cinematic landscape than Tom Hanks' park bench ramblings or Hugh Grant mithering from beneath his gorgously crafted hair. To prove it, here's a list of 25 films that, in our estimation, are among its most underappreciated. There's much horror, drama, tears and laughter, plus a couple of classic documentaries, too.

The BioWare Drop Zone Charity Auction starts today; it's their way of lending aide to the Edmonton Easter Seal’s Drop Zone fundraiser, in which participants dress up as super heroes and descend down the surface of a local, 28 story tall hotel to raise money for people with disabilities.
To that end, they're putting up various goods on eBay, collectables that should water the mouths of hardcore BioWare fans. Including opies of games, comics, and art books. Most are limited edition and all are autographed by the developers. Yet the most interesting prize of them all is the voice of Commander Shepard.
The chance to have Mark Meer, the voice of Shepard (the male version that is), provide a personalized voicemail greeting is up for dibs. According to the BioWare Blog:

Most are limited edition and all are autographed by the developers. Yet the most interesting prize of them all is the voice of Commander Shepard.
The chance to have Mark Meer, the voice of Shepard (the male version that is), provide a personalized voicemail greeting is up for dibs. According to the BioWare Blog:

Making good on their promise, Sony concluded their Gamescom 2012 press conference today with Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, giving us our first look at the highly anticipated shooter for the PlayStation Vita.
Developed by Nihilistic Software, Black Ops Declassified is an entirely different game from the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. In traditional CoD fashion, it will consist of both a single-player campaign and several multiplayer modes, with the single-player portion of the game being a series of covert missions that “bridge the gap” between the first Black Ops and Black Ops 2.
The multiplayer portion of Black Ops Declassified will offer up to eight player matches over Wi-Fi (unsurprisingly, multiplayer over 3G does not seem to be in the cards) and will include familiar CoD elements like; Create-a-Class, Perks, and Prestige Levels. Not all of the multiplayer modes were revealed today, but Activision did confirm that the game will include 4v4 Team Deathmatch,...

With the inevitability often reserved for the changing of the tides, or taxes, another year means we will be getting yet another Call of Duty. Unsurprising I know, considering it’s only the best selling video game series ever. Contrary to what the internet says there’s clearly a demand for the product, and Activision are going to do their best to keep the financial killstreak going. That being said we’re all expecting the reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 tomorrow during the NBA Play-offs, and so we present to you here, a handy one stop place to pour over all of the tiny details and rumours that have been doing the rounds as of late.
Rumours started circulating that we’d be seeing a direct sequel to Black Ops back in February when game artist Hugo Beyer listed “Black Ops 2″ as a current project on his CV...

Veteran filmmaker John Badham is ready to get back on the feature saddle again. He’s in talks to take on In The Rough, written by Leslie Boehm (the man who’s given us Dante’s Peak, Daylight and The Darkest Hour). Rough is an action-adventure concerning a retired hunter, a female Red Cross employee and a CIA agent searching for priceless jewels in the Indian jungles. Adventure ensues [Moviehole].
Badham began his career in the early 70s directing television, both episodes and movies, until 1977, when he broke out as a film director with Saturday Night Fever. Since then he’s helmed a vast variety of entertainment, at least one of which you probably love. His films range from Short Circuit to WarGames to Stakeout to the Point Break-wannabee Drop Zone (which is a personal guilty pleasure).
In the mid-90s he gave us Nick of Time, a mildly interesting Johnny Depp...

Democracy is a flawed concept. Here are 50 films that the IMDb voters would unfairly have you believe are worth no more than 5.9/10…
Six out of ten isn’t a very good score, really. It’s barely over half marks. 60 per cent. It’s alright, but it’s not great. You wouldn’t be proud of getting six out of ten on most kinds of tests, would you? So you might assume that any film that scores under six stars out of ten on the IMDb isn’t very good – possibly even terrible.
But that’s not always the case. Averages don’t tell the whole story; anything that’s potentially controversial or divisive will end up with a score that suggests most people weren’t that bothered about it, since high and low scores will be averaged – and IMDb users often exaggerate their scores anyway, giving a film one star...

They may not be household names like their A-list colleagues, but the actors on this list have appeared in some of our all-time favourite geek movies...
Some actors dabble in sci-fi; others dip their toe into fantasy; some may even make an appearance in the odd horror film - all before returning to the safety of the genres in which they feel more comfortable - perhaps a nice, award-chasing period drama, or a well-paid romantic comedy.
A-listers may see the geeky films that we on this site enjoy and celebrate as fun little side-projects, but there are actors out there who commit full-time to these types of movies. It is high time, therefore, that we credited these individuals with the recognition they deserve.
Besides the stipulation that, in order to be included, an actor had to still be alive and working today, there were no strict criteria that had to...
