Throughout Glee’s run as a series, they were able to introduce a variety of characters to the world. Whether they were looking to portray the quarterback of the football team or a performance-obsessed choir girl, they had someone to do it. When it comes to portraying these characters, it was imperative that they had the right actor to do so. One of the reasons that Glee was so successful is because of how well-received their characters were, and by casting actors that were able to portray these roles with honesty, it allowed fans to connect to them....

While Apple Silicon-powered Macs can run most iOS apps, the vast majority of developers have opted out. Google did that in late 2020, though it recently made its AI Test Kitchen iPhone/iPad app available on the Mac App Store. Google announced AI Test Kitchen as a way for the public to “learn about, experience, and give feedback on emerging AI technology” at I/O 2022 in May. Availability opened up in recent months with three demos to test three experiences powered by LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications):...

Gotham season 3 is nearly upon us, and there are certainly plenty of questions for the new series to answer. Who was Bruce Wayne’s creepy little doppelganger? What’s the situation with Jim Gordon now that he’s gone rogue? How will the Mad Hatter feature in the forthcoming season, given that the show’s new subtitle is ‘Mad City’? Another huge question mark going into season 3 is the identity and status of the Batman universe’s most infamous villain, The Joker....

Halloween (2018) director David Gordon Green reveals the “haunting” death he had to put in the movie. Halloween has proven to be another huge horror hit for Blumhouse and has successfully resurrected the dormant franchise. The latest entry untangled the series’ continuity by ignoring all previous sequels and acting as a direct follow-up to the 1978 original. The story finds Michael Myers once again escaping from an asylum and going on a Halloween rampage in Haddonfield....

The latest episode of Doctor Who season 11, “Kerblam!,” pits the Doctor against an old-school threat that’s been updated for modern audiences. Writer Pete McTighe is new to Doctor Who, but he’s loved it from afar for a long time. His prison series Wentworth featured episodes bearing titles like “The Girl Who Waited,” “Hell Bent,” and “Fear Her.” As far back as 2015, he was telling No White Noise that his entire career is a pitch to get to write Doctor Who....

One of the biggest problems today is the amount of violence in movies and sex on TV. Whatever happened to those good old-fashioned values… on which we used to rely. Luckily, there’s the Family Guy (okay fine, enough); it’s Seth MacFarlane’s brainchild and his attempt to be a Matt Groening. For some, it’s a more unrefined version of The Simpsons while for others, it’s a comical genius hidden under the guise of self-aware meta gags, toilet humor, and below-the-belt jokes....

WARNING: Major spoilers for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has made some massive changes to the Harry Potter canon - with retcons and plot holes aplenty. When J.K. Rowling first wrote the seven Harry Potter books, one of the biggest points of praise was her accessible yet dense continuity that was mapped out well beyond the stories of the boy wizard and retained an impeccable internal consistency: dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, the main villain of the prequel series, was first mentioned in 1997 in a manner that matches the Johnny Depp presentation....

Thanos won’t be terrifying the world of Fortnite for much longer. Developer Epic Games announced that the limited-time crossover event between their hit free-to-play shooter and Avengers: Infinity War is coming to an end tomorrow. While no specific time was given for when the Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup will make its exit, it will likely go down once Tuesday’s weekly patch hits at 4 am EST. The surprise crossover event took the gaming world by storm when it was announced out of nowhere last Monday....

Full-on Foxconn COVID-19 precautions are back in effect, at the request of the city government in Shenzhen, China. The company has been asked to return to closed-loop production, where workers live in dormitory accommodation on the campus, and are prohibited from physical contact with anyone outside the factory complex – including family members. While Foxconn is downplaying the measure, it is raising concerns about a repetition of Shanghai-style lockdowns that could create extremely difficult conditions for workers and other residents, as well as significantly disrupting production …...

Although Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. officially began their DC Comics Extended Universe with Man of Steel in 2013, the release of this year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was a major stepping stone to the slate of upcoming films planned in this superhero franchise. However, the mixed reactions to Batman V Superman and the film’s box office dropoff have led many to wonder about whether it would impact the DCEU slate, and if so, in what way....

HBO’s Game of Thrones took the fantasy genre to a whole new level, imbuing familiar characters and tropes with a level of Shakespearean seriousness - and, of course, pay cable levels of adult content. Along the way, though, the series routinely proved that it wasn’t only the best in the game at crafting complex stories with compelling characters. It was also the best at breaking your heart when you least expected it to....

Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington thinks the series is coming to an end at the perfect time for everyone involved. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss had brought the critically-acclaimed fantasy drama to life on the small screen in 2011 - based on George R.R. Martin’s novel series A Song of Ice and Fire - and it has since become one of the most watched shows in television history, which is why the network is already contemplating ways to continue the franchise beyond the flagship series....

Apple has done a great job of helping customers get their brand-new Macs up and running, but there are some tips and tricks to take it a step further. As you set up your new Mac, here are some handy tips and tricks to get it going at its full potential....

George Clooney is returning to TV with a new adaptation of Catch-22, taking on his first small-screen role since playing Dr. Doug Ross on NBC’s ER. The award-winning actor/director is primarily known for his work behind the cameras these days, but his latest project will see him take a significant role in a new adaptation of a classic piece of American literature. Catch-22 will be based on the satirical novel of the same name by author Joseph Heller....

Messaging has always been a tough point for Android phones compared to iPhones simply because iMessage is, put simply, very good both for its experience and its security. As Google finally solves that problem with expanded adoption of RCS with end-to-end encryption, the company is pushing for its rival, Apple, to do the same by pointing out that the current fallback method instantly drops security. In case you missed the news, Google and Verizon today announced a partnership that would see Verizon do away with its first-party SMS/RCS app as the default and adopt Google’s....

While Gotham has often been touted as a show taking place before the years of Bruce Wayne’s donning of the Batman persona (Wayne is portrayed as a child in this continuity, naturally), it seems more fair at this point to call Gotham an entirely separate universe altogether. After all, most of the villains have been introduced far earlier than their comic counterparts (or even been killed off and later resurrected, such as in their “Proto-Joker” character), where they showed up well into Batman’s crime-fighting career....

So far, Warner Bros has only released three films in its burgeoning DC Comics Extended Universe franchise: Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel in 2013, the hard launch of the world in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and David Ayer’s villain team-up Suicide Squad. Moving forward, the only films with seemingly hard and fast release dates are Wonder Woman and Justice League - both due out this year - as well as 2018’s Aquaman....

Fans of the original Watchmen comic have been waiting longer than expected for Doomsday Clock to reach its epic conclusion, promising a bout between Superman and Dr. Manhattan that would determine the fate of the DC Universe. But now that the final issue has arrived, it’s painfully clear that no amount of time would have prepared fans for the final chapter. The final issue of Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and Brad Anderson’s series packs plenty of twists into its final pages, even if it doesn’t actually include a fight between Dr....
