It’s easy to understand why WWE wrestlers so often try and make the jump to acting, as the life of a full-time WWE star is a grueling one. By comparison, even the most physically-demanding movie shoot can’t possibly be nearly as hard on the body– and it has the potential to pay a whole lot more for a lot less hours. While maintaining a wrestling persona definitely takes some genuine talent as a performer, it isn’t quite the same skill set as being an actual actor....

When it comes to people of a certain age, there wasn’t a cooler set of toys than the ones from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. They were bigger than typical action figures and featured everything from He-Man and his allies to Skeletor and his evil minions to giant battle cats, castles, and even a huge Snake Mountain playset. When the toys became a cartoon, it was even cooler to follow the story of He-Man as he battled his hated enemy Skeletor....

Last year, Stephen Hackett debuted the “2022 Apple Hardware Calendar,” a physical wall calendar with unique Apple product photography and dates highlighting major milestones in Apple’s product history. Now, Hackett has unveiled the calendar he’ll be offering for 2023, this time focused on Apple software history. The dates on the 2023 Apple History Calendar range from things like the releases of macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and more, to memorable dates for iLife and iWork, and even Cyberdog and Rhapsody....

We live in something of a superhero film golden age. The Marvel Cinematic Universe reigns supreme, with a slate of future films that seemingly stretches into the next decade. DC has been playing catch up with its Extended Universe, with Aquaman on its way this year and Wonder Woman 2 to start filming soon. It wasn’t so long ago that these meticulously planned, years-in-the-making shared universes were a fanboy pipe dream....

When you think of an A-list actress, you might imagine someone who never has to get their hands dirty for the rest of their lives. Sure, shooting a big budget action movie might be a bit on the grueling side, but four months of hard work a year means they can spend the other eight kicking back on a beach somewhere or buying expensive clothes, right? We hear all the time about how male actors whip themselves into shape through months of heavy weight lifting to portray iconic superheroes....

SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The One Who Will Save Us All” ahead. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has finally revealed the true “Destroyer of Worlds,” and the latest episode dropped tantalizing hints as to just how General Talbot could yet fulfill his destiny. The episode finally explained just which alien forces are approaching the planet; it turned out the Confederacy actually offered a deal to protect the world from Thanos. That essentially turns this entire season into one big tie-in story, an approach Marvel Television haven’t taken since Season 1....

Franchises are the backbone of Hollywood these days, with every studio looking for ways to plan out a series of tentpoles years in advance. Often times, they’re working with a rich mythology or decades of publication history to draw from, so the stories write themselves. Then there are the self-contained films that don’t really leave anything open at the end, calling into question why a follow-up was ever produced. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 great movies that never needed a sequel....

The Disney logo appears everywhere. Before you watch a movie, your trips to Disneyland or Disney World, within Disney merchandise–it’s seemingly everywhere you look. It’s familiar and expected; you see it and move on with the credits. You don’t really pay attention to it because you see it so often, but wouldn’t it be strange if it weren’t there at all? It was a process to create the logo we all have memorized today; in fact, there was originally no logo whatsoever, so Disney has come a long way since....

One of the reasons Game of Thronesis so captivating is because there is never a straightforward answer for anything. Between the books and the television series, there’s always a different interpretation for every plot line. This usually leaves the book readers a little ahead of the game while they were watching the series, because they already knew the gist of what was going to happen. However, with showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff now officially steering away from the books, this leaves even the readers uncertain about the futures of certain characters and plots....

Superman’s S-shield is as iconic as the hero himself. It’s probably the most recognizable superhero logo and it has permeated pop culture since 1938. If you can’t see at least one person with a Superman logo somewhere on their person in any given public gathering, you’re not looking hard enough. It had humble beginnings, with it purely representing “S for Superman,” but the shield soon acquired multiple meanings and was given its own mythos....

Nobody ever said making movies was easy. There are many moving parts that are happening all the time at all times - both before, during, and after principal photography. Getting a movie green lit is hard enough as it is, and it can be difficult to keep a film afloat sometimes, especially if the cast or crew keep changing. Actors dropping out of a film isn’t that unusual. It’s quite common to have a large set of actors in consideration, with some passing on a role or being unable to work on the film for one reason or another....

As far as Marvel superheroes are concerned, The Inhumans aren’t as well known as many. Despite being powerful enough to take on the X-Men and interesting enough to sustain decades of movies and television shows, there’s been little aside from comic books and a run on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to feature the Inhumans since their debut in 1965. As a result, the general public and Marvel fans alike all have a very vague idea of what exactly makes the Inhumans so special....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 is moving towards its season finale, and the “Destroyer of Worlds” arc is building to a head. So far, the series has toyed with viewers; it set up a rivalry between Ruby and Daisy, raising the possibility that Ruby will be the Destroyer of Worlds. Certainly that’s what Yo-Yo came to believe, and in “All Roads Lead…” the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent takes drastic action. Ruby is dead now, and Yo-Yo believes that single act of murder has saved the world....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been renewed by ABC for an (admittedly abbreviated) sixth season, and that can only mean one thing; the series is about to explore the repercussions of Avengers: Infinity War. The last few episodes of Season 5 have been concurrent with the latest Marvel movie, and everything’s building up to the dramatic moment when Thanos snaps his fingers and erases half the life in the universe. Where Infinity War settled for only giving viewers a brief glimpse of the horror - focusing mainly on beloved heroes crumbling to dust - S....

After years of rumors, AirTags were officially released earlier this year with a robust set of Find My features as well as safety precautions. Over the last week, however, a story out of Canada has gained traction after police warned that thieves are using AirTags to “locate and steal” luxury cars. The York Regional Police department issued a statement last week detailing the situation. According to the department, officers have investigated five incidents involving AirTags being used to steal luxury cars....

From 1994-2004 Friends was one of the single most popular television shows in the world. The six main characters lived lives in New York City that everyone wanted to follow, and it was a show that almost any actor would jump to appear in. The sitcom made Jennifer Aniston a household name and made sure that none of the main cast would ever need to work again—though we’re glad they all still do....

Will & Grace was so far ahead of its time that it’s a wonder how it lasted all of 10 seasons in its original run. Nowadays, a show like it has never been more relevant, and the series has been going strong since being revived; this time in a more comedic tone than the original. Overall, though, the earlier seasons had a lot of gags that have been forgotten due to the long gaps in time since their airings, and these deserve mention....

The fact we’re still talking about Sons of Anarchy four years after it ended demonstrates the impact and legacy of the biker drama. It’s impossible to forget all the action and talking points it provided across seven seasons and we miss it to this very day. Sure, the spinoff, Mayans MC, is due to be released in September, but will it have the same magic? Describing what made the show popular to Digital Spy, Maggie Siff, who portrayed Tara, said, “For me, when I read it, it felt so different to anything that I had read and that was a really good sign....
