Over the course of 10 seasons, Friends had plenty of unthinkable moments. Some made the show better; however, others were detrimental not just for the characters involved, but for the series as well. In some cases, moments revealed in flashbacks contradicted what fans had already seen in the present and in past episodes. Sure, they added to the characters’ history and connections, but they left fans questioning why certain events happened....

Finding love in Hollywood has proven to be a tricky process for many actors and actresses. Not only must they maintain a semblance of normalcy within the relationship, but they must also deal with being under the constant scrutiny of fans and paparazzi. Although some celebrity couples have found a way to survive together in showbiz, many others have found themselves breaking up or divorcing multiple times over. However, in the midst of the many Hollywood breakup stories....

If audiences look back to sci-fi movies in 1968, the 21st century looked a lot different than what it turned out to be. Not only did 2001: A Space Odyssey miss the mark regarding human space exploration, there’s no way it could have accurately predicted just how many bad sci-fi movies the first decade of the new millennium would be cranking out! Back then we might have thought that with advancements in science and cinematic magic in the 2000s, we would all be in a golden age for the genre....

In 2019, Walt Disney Studios may break box office records for having the highest-grossing year of all-time for a Hollywood studio. Ever since the start of Hollywood’s golden age, Disney has been a prominent factor in pushing forward creativity, especially with regards to animation. While they certainly dabbled in live-action films over the years, it wasn’t until the 2000s that they really took the medium seriously - and that was thanks to their very first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, The Curse of the Black Pearl....

Looking back in the films of John Hughes, he frequently inserted romantic subplots that may either add to the film’s charm or detract from any achievement that the film is getting. Indeed, they are essential to bring life to the already beloved characters, make them resonate today, and inspire a lot of couple goals. Hughes indeed created romantic couples that one would either love or dislike. For that, here are the top five best couples from John Hughes movies (on which he may have directed, written, or produced) and the five worst ones to be cautious of....

NBC’s The Office is still one of the most-talked about series on television, despite the fact that it ended five years ago. During its nine season run, The Office endured a number of changes, including the departure of its star Steve Carell and a number of tone shifts. Despite the changes, The Office still managed to hold a decently sized audience, and still does to this day, with millions of people now binging the series on Netflix....

A24 has added their movie library to Kanopy, a free streaming service. Founded in 2012, the independent studio quickly became a favorite amongst cinephiles by releasing a string of critically acclaimed projects that made a splash at the box office (relatively speaking, of course, considering the scope/budgets of the films) and the awards circuit. Their most notable offerings include the likes of Best Picture winner Moonlight, sci-fi drama Ex Machina, and Lady Bird - their biggest commercial hit that earned five Oscar nominations last year....

Season 2 of Agent Carter is just around the corner, but we still know little about the actual plot of the next arc in the show. The first season was one of the most divisive programs in Screen Rant comment sections (and regular topic of disagreement among the site’s editorial team) - with many celebrating the show’s butt-kicking female-lead while others felt that Agent Carter wasn’t quite as deep as others might be suggesting....

All of today’s best deals are now up for the taking and headlined by AirPods 3 going on sale for the first time in months at $160. That’s alongside official Apple Watch bands from $25 and Logitech’s popular MX Keys Advanced for Mac at $95. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Apple’s AirTag is a tracker designed to help users find lost items. Through Apple’s Find My network, iPad, iPhone, Mac, and iPod touch can help track down your item. Many use it to keep track of keys, wallets, backpacks, bicycles, and other valuable items. Where can I buy an AirTag? How big is an AirTag? According to Apple, a single AirTag has a height of 0.31 inch (8.0 mm) and a diameter of 1....

It’s just a bit of fun. Ron Farber-Newman wasn’t trying to fool anyone with the result, he just wanted to see what could be done. Impressively, this was actually Farber-Newman’s first ever leather project! He did the hole-punching for the stitching by hand, but used the laser cutter to create a guide. My primary hobby is laser cutting. I’ve wanted to find a leather-working project where I could use my laser cutter to cut precise leather parts for awhile now....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is primarily built on characters. From the charismatic egomaniac Tony Stark to Groot the adorable living tree, the MCU is home to some of the most beloved personalities in popular culture. Among all of the stellar gems in the series, though, there are plenty of faces who either don’t get the recognition they deserve, or otherwise would benefit hugely from a little more space to tell their stories....

The darker aspects of the Final Fantasy series tended to either be censored during localization or stuck in the games that never saw an international release. Final Fantasy II opened with fleeing refugees being run down by armored knights, while Final Fantasy V included the deaths of countless citizens as two worlds were merged into one. We had to wait until the 32-bit era before we could legally buy those games....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with no signs of slowing down. The DC Expanded Universe, meanwhile, is stuck playing catch-up (and seems to be struggling to do so). A few expensive misfires here and there (looking at you, Fantastic Four) haven’t put much of a wrinkle in what we all know to be true these days: comics are experiencing their biggest renaissance since, like, ever. It’s not just the big name superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man continuing to cash checks in the zeitgeist, either....

Everyone knows what a bad idea it is to date your close friend’s ex. You could potentially torpedo not one, but two relationships. That is, unless all three of you proceed extremely carefully and communicate openly with each other. And these days, who has the time for that? Things work differently in Hollywood. Actors go onto sets and spend all day making out with someone who isn’t their partner. They leave their family for six months to go shoot a new Marvel movie in England....

Superheroes: they’ve been around a long time, but only recently became so massive that they’re pretty unavoidable. While they started getting really big in the early 2000s, they exploded a decade later, with Marvel’s The Avengers essentially acting as a statement that these types of movies are here to stay. What has also been around for quite a long time are cameo appearances in film. While directors like Alfred Hitchcock were well known for showing up briefly in their movies, actors and other familiar faces have made cameos in film - whether they be musicians, comedians, other actors, or global icons outside the entertainment industry....

Imagine that you are an actor. For years you’ve been working your way up the ladder, from bit part to bit part. Suddenly, your agent calls you with good news! Some casting agent saw your demo reel and they want you for a new television series! You’re overjoyed, of course, and not just because of the fame and fortune that come with the role but because of the respect and security that comes with steady work....
