Theater Enhances Movies With Screams of Childhood Exhuberance
If you've ever thought movie theaters were too quiet, or playgrounds too loud, one Mexico-based movie theater chain has just what you're after.
According to the LA Times, Cinepolis, the "world’s fourth-largest cinema operator," is installing playground equipment inside some of its theaters. The concept, called "Cinepolis Junior," aims to make the movie-going experience "more fun" for kids.
Right now there are only two locations in the U.S., both in Southern California, and they're set to debut on March 16 in conjunction with the release of Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast remake.

Next No Man’s Sky Update Coming This Week
Hello Games has announced that the next content update for No Man's Sky will be released for free this week.
The Path Finder Update was announced on the developer's blog, and will introduce "a new vehicle that will aid home planet exploration."
More detailed patch notes will be released when the update goes live, but Hello Games makes clear that Path Finder is only the beginning of what it has planned for the future of the controversial game, saying that it builds "on the Foundation Update to hint at a path ahead for the future."

Metal Gear Movie Director on Characters He Wants to Include
The director of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie, Jordan Vogt-Roberts has spoken about his plans for the film - including the characters he'd like to include.
"I mean, I'm a big Sniper Wolf fan," Vogt-Roberts told IGN whilst promoting his new film, Kong: Skull Island, "and when we were sitting down to think about the script at a certain point it was like, 'is Cyborg Ninja in this movie or not?' and the part of me that was a little kid was like, 'there's no world in which I'm ever going to make a Metal Gear movie that Cyborg Ninja is not going to be in.' It's really easy to be like, 'it's a good character to save for the second one,' but no, no, no."
Vogt-Roberts also explained that he's considering whether to include fourth wall-breaking sections, in the style of Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid (who spoke directly to the player about other games they had played):
