UPDATE: Here’s the official list of Golden Globes winners in 2019! Join us as we try to predict the 2019 Golden Globes winners on the movie side. The Golden Globes are the first major film and television awards out of the gate every new year. And, as is always the case when a show is the first one out of the gate, that means the winners at the Golden Globes often set a precedent for future awards ceremonies to come - mostly notably, the annual Academy Awards or Oscars....

Warner Bros. is still developing Gotham City Sirens, a Suicide Squad spinoff featuring Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy. The studio officially launched their DC Extended Universe last spring with Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which worked to introduce the core superheroes before they return in Justice League later this year. However, it was David Ayer’s Suicide Squad that showed fans the darker underbelly of the DCEU with an all-villain team-up - bringing some of DC Comics’ most infamous, and beloved, antagonists into the live-action universe....

Despite rumors suggesting otherwise, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will not be called Asgardians of the Galaxy. There was a lot of speculation about the title, particularly after Thor joined the Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of Avengers: Endgame and mentioned the “Asgardians of the Galaxy” as a joke. Those rumors gained even more traction when Thor actor Chris Hemsworth voiced interest in such a project. In Marvel Comics, Asgardians of the Galaxy was the team that replaced the Guardians of the Galaxy when that comic book series ended in 2018....

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe unites its greatest heroes and villains for the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, the biggest mystery is the location of the Soul Stone, but now some artwork from the movie might have revealed who has it. The Soul Stone has the potential to be the biggest threat of all the stones, not only helping Thanos complete his Infinity Gauntlet, but also the power of the stone itself....

Winter has come to Westeros, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t time for a song. Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran had a prominent cameo in the Game of Thrones season 7 opener, playing an unnamed soldier who was among those sent to keep peace after “trouble” came to House Frey. Singing a song that seemed to thaw even the icy heart of Arya Stark, Sheeran’s tune helped to set the mood for the episode (and possibly the season to follow)....

The directors of Avengers: Endgame rule out the possibility of alternate versions of Captain America and Iron Man appearing in future movies. One of the foundational and most important parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the ongoing nature of its story. As difficult as it may be, Marvel Studios has tried to create and maintain a reasonably consistent timeline. After twenty-one films of build-up, Anthony and Joe Russo crafted Avengers: Endgame to wrap up everything that came before....

Avengers: Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely say they believe Superman can be tackled the same way they handled Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The writing duo finished their stint with Marvel Studios that started all the way back in 2011 with Captain America: The First Avenger. There’s no confirmed projects for them in the MCU, which means that they are available to venture out of the franchise and potentially in another superhero world; and if given the chance to write for the Man of Steel, Markus and McFeely seem confident regarding how they’re going to handle it....

There are quite a few superhero movies releasing in 2021, which means it’s going to be a big year for Marvel and DC. By 2021, MCU’s Phase 4 will be two years into its extensive five-year plan while the DCEU will have Wonder Woman 1984 and Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) under its belt. Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed the precise release dates for their upcoming MCU movies, but we know that the following 2021 dates have been reserved by the studio for three films: February 12, 2021; May 7, 2021, and November 5, 2021....

A new folding iPhone flip phone concept shows what such a device might look like if Apple took the same approach as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Unlike a conventional-sized phone which unfolds to something iPad-like, the flip concept envisages a conventional size iPhone that folds in half… Background There have been rumors and reports of Apple working on a folding iPhone for a number of years now. It seems a certainty that Apple has at least developed prototypes, and there have been suggestions that the first of these might launch as early as this year or next....

Colin Trevorrow has opened up about the ‘personal loss’ of leaving Star Wars: Episode IX. If would be fair to say Lucasfilm has had some director issues since embarking on a new series of Star Wars movies. Tony Gilroy was brought on to oversee extensive reshoots and re-editing on Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One, which resulted in the film changing dramatically. Then Phil Lord & Chris Miller were fired from Solo: A Star Wars Story in June 2017 after having nearly completed filming....

Epic Games is teasing the introduction of Fortnite’s first vehicle, and it’s not exactly what players of the battle royale title were expecting to see. Today’s patch added a news browser to the free-to-play shooter, and under the updates tab is a listing that says that a shopping cart is coming soon to the game. The listing reads “Roll into battle alone or with a buddy!” Fortnite hasn’t had vehicles in the past, and it’s one of the differentiators between Epic Games’ battle royale and other games in the genre....

It’s been nearly six years since The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo graced theaters, re-imagining Stieg Larsson’s best-selling thriller of the same name on screen. The movie was both a critical and commercial standout, going on to receive five nominations at the 2012 Academy Awards. Though it won only Best Film Editing, it seemed like a sure-fire start to a successful franchise, and plans were put in place to adapt the remaining novels in Larsson’s highly popular Millennium series....

Update: This story has been updated to reflect that the Magicut app is now called Cooclip. A couple of months ago, the developer Versa released ‘Cooclip’ an iPhone and iPad video editor app that’s best described as the “GenZ Video Editor.” Here’s everything you need to know about it. While iPad users have some great apps out there to take advantage of as Apple’s own Clips and iMovie and the powerful LumaFusion for professional editors, Versa is aiming at a more creative public with its video editor....

Nothing’s better than when a long-running series introduces some powerful villain who sets up shop and becomes a reluctant member of the team. It’s developments like these that can often see the hero of a series slowly get pushed to the sidelines as this former bad guy becomes the new fan favorite. Vegeta has a strong fan club the moment he shows up in Dragon Ball Z. The second the Saiyan lands on Earth he finds himself in a permanent pissing contest with Goku to determine who is the strongest warrior....

Engineering student Ken Pillonel shared a video last month showing a modified iPhone X with a USB-C port instead of Lightning. If you were interested in doing the same with your iPhone, the student has now shared an in-depth guide on how to put a USB-C port on an iPhone – but be aware that the process is extremely advanced. The first video shared by Pillonel didn’t give many details about the whole process, except for mentioning that the Apple C94 connector has been reverse-engineered to support a female USB-C port....
