The truth is out there: The X-Files will not exist without Gillian Anderson. Fox officially announced that it has no plans to pursue a 12th season of the hit sci-fi drama. The X-Files became an immediate hit back in 1993, when its first episode aired, introducing viewers to the mysteries of the unknown, aliens and monsters of urban myth. It was one of the first science fiction shows to offer up “monster of the week” storytelling, but eventually embraced an overall conspiracy theory storyline worthy of not getting debunked by Snopes....

The future of FOX’s Lethal Weapon television series is now reportedly in question due to the on-set behavior of co-lead Clayne Crawford. The series, which also stars Damon Wayans as Roger Murtaugh, has come into its own as one of the more popular programs in FOX’s lineup, making the reports of unprofessional behavior by one of its leads a troubling development, as Hollywood is under increased scrutiny for how it responds to reports of abuse from problematic actors and creators....

The Simpsons has been the longest lasting animated show on-air, but a very able alternative for people was Futurama, a more outrageous and future-based animated sitcom. Within this show, things were way more ridiculous in comedy than one would be prepared for, and characters acted like buffoons for the most part. Out of all these, it was Turanga Leela who stood as the one sane person among the chaos. Her status as the straight man of the group garnered her many moments where she came across as the most mature one, and we have 10 of her most memorable quotes to prove this....

Madden NFL 19 may not have garnered the most excitement in EA’s E3 2018 press conference, but one reaction to the game has left a fair few Madden fans seething. The title was shown off as part of the EA Play event this year, taking up part of the EA Sports section of the conference alongside an update on the FIFA franchise. All in all, the reaction from the crowd at the event was muted, which is often the case during the sports sim section of EA’s E3 conferences....

With its all-star cast that includes noted anime fan Michael B. Jordan, as well as Dakota Fanning, David Tennant, Maisie Williams, and Asia Kate Dillon, gen:LOCK is guaranteed to pique the interest of anime fans and non-fans alike. Such an assemblage of voice talent is an impressive feat for an animated series from Rooster Teeth, home of the likes of Red vs. Blue and Lazer Team, and it’s one the series aims to continually remind the audience of as they watch the first few episodes, many of which, unsurprisingly, play out like lengthy cut scenes from a video game....

At the end of Glass, Elijah Price declares that the movie’s “showdown” wasn’t part of a limited edition comic book but instead an “origin story” Considering that Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) and David Dunn (Bruce Willis) are currently locked in a classic hero vs. villain final battle and Mr. Glass’s master plan - set in place way back in 2000’s Unbreakable - is coming to head, that’s a rather offbeat claim: how is the end the beginning?...

The global smartphone market continued its downward journey for the third consecutive quarter, according to the latest Canalys data – but Apple boosted its market share significantly. Apple was the only company in the top five to grow its sales year-on-year, thanks to the popularity of the iPhone 14 … The market intelligence company says consumers need their money for more important things right now, and it doesn’t see things improving any time soon....

A new toy from Godzilla: King of the Monsters suggests that the movie will include the “Burning Godzilla” form. Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the sequel to Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla and will feature Godzilla going up against some of his iconic foes, such as Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. While Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the first sequel of the new American series of Godzilla movies, the famous monster has gotten dozens of sequels over the years....

Godzilla vs. Kong writer Michael Dougherty compares that fight to Rocky vs. Ivan Drago. It’s been years since audiences last saw two of cinema’s most notorious monsters of all time, Godzilla and King Kong, battle each other head to head. Though the pair first met on screen in the Japanese language King Kong vs. Godzilla in 1962, the rivalry between the two creatures has continued to grow and attract an audience even today....

Gremlins director Joe Dante will executive produce Teddy Bears Are For Lovers, a horror-comedy based on the award-winning short film of the same name. LOST cinematographer Michael Bonvillain will make his directorial debut on the feature film from Endless Media. David Ernesto Vendrell wrote the script based on a story by Vendrell, Matthew Hawksworth and Almog Avidan Antonir.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is officially confirmed to be in development. Marvel Studios took a bit of a risk when they adapted the obscure comic book title, but it turned out to be one of their greatest strokes of genius. Bolstered by director James Gunn’s unique sense of humor and heart, memorable characters, and a retro soundtrack, the original Guardians of the Galaxy became one of 2014’s biggest films. The 2017 sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol....

It appears that the upcoming video game Halo Infinite may not support the Xbox Play Anywhere scheme. A fan of the franchise pointed out a lack of Play Anywhere labeling on the game’s official Xbox page. Microsoft announced Xbox’s Play Anywhere scheme during E3 back in 2016, and they’ve since been largely promoting it for players all over the globe. The initiative allows gamers to play Xbox Play Anywhere digital titles on both their consoles as well as their Windows computer....

Dragon Ball GT may have attracted the ire of fans across the world, but the ending it delivered was arguably superior to the conclusion of Dragon Ball Z. First airing in 1996, Dragon Ball GT continued Goku’s story but did so without the involvement of original creator, Akira Toriyama. This led to a seismic shift in tone, visual style and approach, with Goku turned back into a child and sent out to explore space with Trunks and his granddaughter, Pan....

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them finally brings the wizarding world to life here in the United States. Set in 1926 New York City, Newt Scamander inadvertently unleashes terror as he’s passing through on his way back to the UK. North America’s Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry stands in Massachusetts, New York City makes for a much more interesting setting of magical creatures on the loose. The highly anticipated adaption has already been confirmed for at least five films ahead of the opening of the first....

Eiza González is the newest star of Universal’s Hobbs and Shaw, the first spinoff in the Fast & Furious franchise. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham have made for memorable additions to the universe in recent installments, but now the rivals are going to help welcome more characters to the growing franchise. The spinoff brings Johnson and Statham back in their respective roles of Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw after fans of the nitrous-infused franchise got a taste of their chemistry in The Fate of the Furious....

For one a half seasons, Fear the Walking Dead has explored the events leading up to the cataclysmic collapse of society at the hands of the undead—all from the perspective of one East Los Angeles neighborhood. The show, a prequel/spinoff to AMC’s six-season zombie hit, The Walking Dead, recently aired its season 2 midseason finale and has already been renewed for a third season. Of course, any spin-off series opens itself up to criticism for, quite simply, not living up to the legacy of its predecessor—and Fear the Walking Dead has always had a particularly high bar to live up to....

The new head of the federal broadband administration has revealed that part of his role will extend to reviewing competitiveness in the mobile app ecosystem, adding yet another source of antitrust pressure to Apple’s App Store.

A Fake Fake Kidnapping When the group convenes at Brooks’ luxurious rented home, he lays out the rules of the night’s festivities - one of them will soon be kidnapped, and the rest of them will be given a set of clues in order to find their missing friend.
