With the Booster Gold movie currently in its infancy, DC Comics fans are starting to salivate at the possibilities. A movie set around this time-traveling DC hero is a departure for the company, who have so far focused the majority of their attention on bigger name properties. Still, a full-length feature film centered around Booster Gold may be the breath of fresh air that DC fans of been clamoring for....
Deadpool is back on our screens with another fresh blend of superhero action and inappropriate humor, as well as a hearty supply of references to the ongoing X-Men universe. Just don’t think about how the continuity fits together. With characters like Colossus and Juggernaut looking completely different from their previous iterations, as well as characters from the 1980s showing up in a movie presumably set in the modern day, it could be said that the X-Men are due a good old fashioned reboot to sort things out....
Most beloved sitcoms are riddled with errors and gaffes. Whether it’s due to a new team of writers retconning a main character’s backstory to explore new and funnier territory, or whether it’s the more run-of-the-mill oversights inherent in having to quickly produce 20+ episodes of television a year, there’s no denying that countless re-watches of our favourite sitcoms have yielded a sizeable list of mistakes. King of the Hill, Seinfeld, MAS*H, Friends, The Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, are just a few of the most iconic and acclaimed sitcoms ever produced....
Friends may be one of the most entertaining sitcoms of all time, but it wasn’t without its flaws. Over its 10 seasons and 236 episodes, there were plenty of continuity errors. Even with reruns airing on multiple channels every day, DVD and Blu-ray sets and the series streaming on Netflix, fans can’t catch every one. Most of the mistakes found are easy to explain. Television shows do multiple takes of scenes....

If you had told someone a decade ago that the most successful movies being released in 2018 were comic book movies, people wouldn’t have believed you. There was a real stigma with comic book movies for a long time, but Marvel movies have all but abolished that archaic belief and are now the high water mark for blockbuster movies. And with all the recent shocking revelations in Infinity War, safe to say Marvel is only going to get bigger and more intense with each new movie....
As the saying goes: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it - and the same goes for movie props. With dozens of blockbusters released every year, it only makes sense for studios and producers to reuse sets, weapons, gadgets, or props, but fans aren’t usually meant to notice them. You’d be surprised to see how many of your favorite movies were filled with recycled material, but more often than not, it only makes watching them even better....
Often times, writers and showrunners love to drop in clues and hints as to what will come to pass in a few episodes, or a couple of seasons time. It drives fans crazy, because often times, fans only realize what has happened until the event comes to back. Although it might drive fans nuts, it definitely must give everyone who is producing the show a very good feeling, because they definitely accomplished it....
Acting is a tough gig. People may joke that waiting and memorizing lines is all there is to the profession, but a lot of hard work goes into establishing a career and keeping it afloat. Most actors toil away in obscurity, barely making ends meet or working jobs in order to pay the bills. Most celebrities cut their teeth in a similar manner for years before reaching the big time, and a lot of them still put just as much effort into roles as they did when they were starving artists....
Justice League will likely be remembered as one of the biggest missed opportunities in superhero movie history. Zack Snyder had a very specific vision for the DC Extended Universe, setting up plot points in Batman v Superman that he was going to pay off in Justice League. However, following the box office failure and negative critical response to BvS, Warner Bros. panicked and reworked the whole script. The end result was a tonal mess that was completely disingenuous to the iconic DC characters and paid off none of BvS....
NOTE: The following post contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Star Wars 7 - Expectations vs. Reality. It’s one of the oldest duels in any galaxy. With Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one of the most hyped films in recent memory, fans developed a litany of rumors longer than the U.S. Constitution and all of its Amendments. Now that we’ve seen J.J. Abrams’ magnum opus, we can put to rest many of the fan-fiction expectations as we move towards the Anthology films and Episode VIII....
Mega Man is one of the most iconic videogame characters of all time. Since his debut in 1987, the heroic robot has starred in dozens of games over a wide variety of genres, across nearly every platform. Mega Man has kind of fallen out of the spotlight in recent years, but legends never die, and with nearly 30 years of history behind him, we just know the Blue Bomber is poised for a major comeback any day now....
Between Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and countless others, DC movies have brought many of the entertainment industry’s most popular characters to the big screen. While some of these movies, such as The Dark Knight and Wonder Woman, are regarded among the best superhero films of all time, many fans argue about the quality of others. Some are criticized for straying too far from the comics, while others are criticized for being lackluster movies regardless of the source material....
It’s the year 2019, and the Secretary General of the United Nations has announced the arrival of alien life. How do you react? The answer will largely depend on the science fiction films you’ve seen, some apocalyptic and others more benign. Since George Melies’ Le Voyage Dans La Lune, the cinema has inadvertently prepared mankind for the arrival of the unknown. Some films have instructed us to hide, some to fight back and some, on rare occasions, to befriend the extra-terrestrial guests....
An old axiom says fame is fickle. So is age. Both proverbs hold true in Hollywood, with its youth-obsessed culture always on the lookout for a fresh face to exploit. That makes conquering the movie biz all the more impressive for the handful of actors who actually do it. How perplexing then that some actors become big names in showbiz only to give it all up for a quiet life. There again, given the grueling slog of the business, perhaps it should come as no surprise....
Decades have a peculiar way of crystallizing celebrities and confining them forever to a particular time and pop-cultural space. Harrison Ford has never left the public consciousness, but it’s hard to think of him without also thinking of the ’80s— the decade of Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and Blade Runner. While many of Hollywood’s brightest stars sustain careers that span decades, there’s no shortage of actors whose stardom only lasts a few years....
The holiday season is upon us once more and as the days get shorter and the nights get colder, there’s more and more reason to stay in with a good Christmas movie. The holidays are all about spending time with friends and family, and even if you don’t get along with your Aunt Susan or your weird cousin Al, nothing bonds people together more than a good Yuletide screening session. With every passing year, a new Christmas film seems to hit theaters and by now the list of holiday movies is as long as Santa’s Naughty List will be this year....
You’ve probably noticed a lot of headlines about 5G recently. Understandably, you might have questions. Why is 5G in all the headlines recently? Is it safe to fly?

Update: AT&T and Verizon have reached a deal with the FAA that almost makes this non-issue no longer an issue. Details below:...

The women of the Marvel Cinematic Universe come together for an A-Force film fan-made poster. Avengers: Endgame was the culmination of everything that’s transpired in the franchise since its inception in 2008 via Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, and as such, it brought together almost every single key player in the series. This led to never-before-seen team-ups, including one that involved all the female heroes for an epic shot that was almost cut....
