image for Bill & Ted Face the Music writer reveals some bodacious plot details about the sequel

Now imagine that for a third of that time, original writers Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson had been trying to put together a sequel, Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Bill & Ted Face the Music will reunite us with Bill S. Preston Esquire (Alex Winter) and Ted Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) as middle aged family men, but according to Solomon, their journey back to the big screen has been more difficult than a game of chess with the grim reaper.

“This is not, ‘Hey let’s all cash-in on the Bill & Ted thing for money’ – this is the opposite.

Solomon also spoke at length about how the script would incorporate Rufus, with Bill & Ted travelling back in time in order to interact with their young selves and George Carlin’s character using footage from Excellent Adventure.

“There’s actually a scene – one of my favourite scenes in the whole movie – where middle-aged, 50-year-old Bill and Ted return to the Circle K and see their teen selves and Rufus, and actually interact with their teenage selves, played by their actual teenage selves.”.

Will we ever see the further adventures of Bill & Ted, or will it be appropriately lost in time forever more?. »

Now, with Qi finally succeeding as the winner of the wireless charging standard wars, we’re seeing the same rush to find the best solution for wireless chargers.

At least on paper, the HyperDrive seems to check every single box for both wireless chargers and USB-C hubs.

Or you could just plug in a really powerful UBS-C charger and have a bedside wireless charger with tons of extra ports for charging other stuff. »

Can you be sued by posting a photo of yourself on social media?.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, photo agency Splash News had granted exclusive rights to the Daily Mail to publish paparazzi photos online of Simpson exiting the New York’s Bowery Hotel — which Simpson then shared on her various social media accounts.

In its suit, however, Splash News is contending the company never granted permission for Simpson, 37, to use the photos, and by posting them online she violated Splash News’ copyright. »
