Since 2001, before his cinematic debut in 2002, Spider-Man posters have been a popular part of the movie theater landscape. Besides signaling the arrival of a new adventure featuring our favorite wall-crawler, they just look cool! The colors always pop out and are eye-catching. Plus, a lot of the posters over the years have been riffs on iconic Spider-Man images that have been all over the comics. A few years ago, Homecoming played with Spidey and repurposed the wall-crawler into some famous eighties movie tributes....

The Flashpoint film will soon enter filming, according to Ezra Miller himself, who plays the current iteration of the Scarlet Speedster on the big screen.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Game of Thrones season 7 episode 4: ‘Spoils of War’ - If the latest episode of Game of Thrones demonstrated nothing else, Jaime Lannister is an undeniable hero. He may have lost his sword-hand, but he’s more brave and resolute than ever. In “The Spoils of War,” his fortitude nearly got him burnt to a crisp. The Kingslayer had three opportunities to flee the ambush on the Blackwater Rush....

Virtual reality is a technology concept that’s been periodically attempted by the tech, gaming, and motion picture industries, but for a variety of reasons has never quite caught on. The concept goes back all the way to the 1960s, and something called Sensorama, although the concept lived more in sci-fi than reality for most of the next couple decades. Companies like Virtuality and Sega made VR gaming attempts in the 1990s, but neither succeeded....

Peter Farrelly’s true-story dramedy Green Book is named the best film of 2018 by the National Board of Review. The film, which chronicles Italian-American bouncer Tony “Lip” Vallelonga’s time on the road with African-American pianist Dr. Don Shirley during the latter’s deep South concert tour, emerged as an unlikely awards contender earlier this year. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, Green Book took home the coveted People’s Choice Award, all but guaranteeing it’ll be in line for a Best Picture nomination at this year’s Oscars....

In 2011, DC made its first attempt at bringing the world of Green Lantern to life with a solo film starring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. As most fans are already aware, the film was a disaster critically and any chances of a franchise future with Reynolds’ Hal Jordan at the helm were quickly extinguished. Reynolds then went on to revisit another one of his comic book characters on the big screen to great success in last year’s box office hit (and smash critical success), Deadpool....

Apple geeks may be aware of the mystery of the handwritten Apple 1 serial number present on some of the surviving machines. Namely, no one knew how they got there.

Likewise for Byte Shop owner Paul Terrell, who bought a batch of 50 of them…...

Ant-Man and the Wasp actress Evangeline Lilly recently described her experience of discomfort acting in a scene on Lost. Lilly portrayed the character of Kate Austen on the mysterious TV series - a fugitive who, like the rest of the survivors of Oceanic 815, had her backstory and motivations revealed through numerous flashbacks. While Kate was one of the major characters of the show, several of her storylines were not that well-received by fans, with a significant slump in the story being a love triangle between Kate, Jack (Matthew Fox), and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) in season 3....

Some of the biggest names behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe gathered for a massive group photo in October 2017, but the photo doesn’t include everyone. Getting 80-plus people together for a group photo and a day of celebration is certainly impressive. But what’s also impressive - and in some cases, sad - is the sheer number of people who played integral roles in getting the Marvel Cinematic Universe off the ground and into prominence, yet aren’t in the photo at all....
