Resident Evil names "AI-first" affront to humanity Duolingo bird its newest biological weapon, making it canon that Leon Kennedy has only learned Spanish by force
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Duo, a mutated green owl and the mascot for language-learning platform Duolingo, had a reputation for being a maladjusted psycho online – until Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn declared earlier this summer that the company was "going to be AI-first" and sucked the fun from it. But there are few video games better suited to rotten corporate horror than Resident Evil, so it seems developer Capcom has (jokingly) given Duo a second chance at life by employing him as a biological weapon. An Automaton spot and translation tells us the official Resident Evil brand account on Twitter recently posted an image of an abnormally muscular Duo edited into the Resident Evil remake, declaring him "Our new biological weapon. Go. Spread language learning to the world." The Japanese Duolingo account responded with an image of buff Duo in the Resident Evil 2 remake, wearing villain Mr. X's infected fedora atop its unusually large head. He looms behind a sullen Leon Kennedy, whom he asks, according to Automaton's translation, "Leon, you haven't done today's lesson, right?" Capcom appears to confirm Leon's delinquency with an image of Leon slowly trudging his way through a Spanish lesson on his iPhone – ideally, it will help him communicate with the decaying villagers in Resident Evil 4. But Duo is not appeased by Leon's effort. In response, he stands in front of the Raccoon City police station (how does he know where Leon works?) and vows to chase Leon "anywhere until everyone can play Resident Evil in English." That's a cute joke, Duo. Now, show us your carbon footprint! I've been playing Resident Evil games for 25 years – Resident Evil Requiem doesn't need Leon Kennedy. Solve the daily Crossword

Lou Adler & Tim Curry to Appear at 50th Anniversary Screening of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show'
The Rocky Horror Picture Show didn't receive a single Oscar nomination when it was released in 1975, but the film has since become a cult classic, so much so that even the Motion Picture Academy has taken notice. On Sept. 26, the Academy Museum in Los Angeles will host a '50th Anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show' program. Music industry legend Lou Adler, who was one of the producers of the film; Tim Curry, who starred in the film as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite alien scientist; and Sins O' The Flesh are scheduled to appear. 'Join us for a sing-along and shadow cast experience for this one-night-only 50th anniversary program,' the event's notes advise. 'Prop kits will be sold at the theater for maximum audience participation.' More from Billboard Let's Do the Time Warp… Again! Hear Iconic 'Rocky Horror' Song Reworked For TV Special 'Rocky Horror' Team Creates a 'Place for Outsiders to Feel at Home': On the Set of Fox Musical Remake The Best and Worst Moments from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' Remake The film also starred Barry Bostwick and future Oscar winner Susan Sarandon, and helped introduce future rock star Meat Loaf. The film was based on the 1973 musical stage production The Rocky Horror Show, with music, book and lyrics by Richard O'Brien. The cast album to that show bubbled under the Billboard 200 in November 1974. The film opened in the U.K. at the Rialto Theatre in London in August 1975 and in the U.S. the following month at the UA Westwood in Los Angeles. Initial response was mixed to negative, but it soon became a hit as a midnight movie, when audiences began participating with the film at the Waverly Theater in New York City in 1976. Adler received a Grammy nomination in 1976 for producing the cast album, which was released on his Ode Records (through A&M). The album eventually reached No. 49 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold. The track 'Time Warp' has become a classic. In 2005, the film was selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry for being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.' Adler, 91, is an industry legend. He founded Dunhill Records in 1964, producing hits by such artists as The Mamas & The Papas and Scott McKenzie. He helped produce the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967. He signed Carole King to his Ode Records in 1970 and produced eight Gold, Platinum or multiplatinum albums by her. In 1972, he and King won Grammys for album of the year (Tapestry) and record of the year ('It's Too Late'). Adler was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 (receiving the Ahmet Ertegun Award, presented by Cheech & Chong, for whom he produced four Gold albums). He received a trustees award from the Recording Academy in 2019. The Rocky Horror Picture Show has had a long afterlife. The Rocky Horror Glee Show aired on Fox in October 2010 as part of the second season of Glee. It featured cameos by Bostwick and Meat Loaf. An EP from the show, which included 'Time Warp,' 'Damn It, Janet' and 'Sweet Transvestite,' reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200. In October 2016, Fox aired a modern-day 'reimagining' of the film titled The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again. Here's a link to tickets for the screening.

Brad Pitt's mother Jane Pitt dies at 84, family mourns her loss
Brad Pitt 's mother, Jane Pitt, has died at the age of 84, the actor's niece, Sydney Pitt, announced this week. According to her obituary, Jane Pitt died on Tuesday, Aug. 5. She is survived by her husband William Alvin "Bill" Pitt and their children, Brad Pitt, Doug Pitt and Julie Neal (née Pitt). In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Sydney Pitt, Doug Pitt's daughter, wrote a touching tribute to her grandmother, celebrating her legacy and the love she gave to others. "My sweet Grammy, Jane Etta, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier," she wrote in the caption alongside photos of Jane Pitt throughout her life. "If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart. She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked," she continued. "She taught me how to paint, how to be strong, how to lead with kindness, to love Jesus through everything, and to find joy in the smallest things. She made up the silliest games just to make us laugh, and she believed in fairness, in putting others first, and doing good simply because it was the right thing to do." Sydney Pitt also recalled how every year before school, Jane would give each grandchild a "special day," filled with activities like banana splits, board games and rides at Silver Dollar City. "She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it," Sydney Pitt added. "I don't know how we move forward without her. But I know she's still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form." "We were truly blessed to have her to love on growing up and I know she lives on through each of us ♥️🪽✨🦜," she concluded the post. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Jane Pitt was a former elementary school teacher who raised Brad Pitt and her two other children with her husband, Bill Pitt, in Springfield, Missouri. While Jane Pitt and Bill typically avoided the spotlight, they occasionally accompanied their famous son on the red carpet, including at the 2012 Oscars and the 2014 premiere of Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken." Her obituary also highlights Jane Pitt's passion for art and her devoted role as a grandmother. "Jane was a gifted artist who expressed herself most vividly through painting," the obituary read. "Her love for art became a cherished bond between her and her grandchildren during craft sessions and painting lessons that created lasting memories." "Known affectionately as 'Grammy,' Jane found immense joy in celebrating each grandchild's uniqueness through one-on-one traditions lovingly known as 'Your Special Day,'" the note continued. "These treasured moments remain among the fondest memories for all fourteen of her grandchildren."
