House Lannister might be the most feared noble family in all of Westeros. The reason for this is because they are the most ruthless and will massacre anyone who stands in their way. The Lannisters don’t care about honor or winning the hearts and minds of the people: they simply want to win and they will do whatever is necessary to accomplish their victory. It’s hard not to like the members of House Lannister....
Geoff Johns - President and Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment - is stepping down from both executive positions, effectively immediately. The legendary comic creator is not leaving the company, however, having just signed an exclusive writer-producer deal with both DC Comics and Warner Brothers. A lifelong fan of superheroes, Johns had a long and varied career in both film production and comic books. He broke into the business by cold-calling the office of Superman director Richard Donner to ask about an internship - a call that accidentally led to a conversation with Donner himself and a paid job as a production assistant....
A new clip from M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass shows off a few new personalities for James McAvoy’s character Kevin Wendell Crumb. Glass is the third film in Shyamalan’s Eastrail 177 Trilogy trilogy, following the events of both Unbreakable and Split, and reunites Bruce Willis’ David Dunn with Samuel L. Jackson’ Elijah Price (aka Mr. Glass), while also adding McAvoy’s Kevin into the mix. While Willis and Jackson were the main characters in the 2000 film Unbreakable, all eyes were on McAvoy in Split....
Is the mysterious character portrayed by Charles Dance the true villain of Godzilla: King of the Monsters? Unlike in 2014’s Godzilla, where the humans mostly watched helplessly while the giant atomic fire-breathing lizard stomped over San Francisco to battle two invading monsters, this time the people are much more integral to the plot. Intriguingly, every human character in Godzilla 2 has already been identified except the one played by Charles Dance....
In Good Omens, the book of prophecies from the witch named Agnes Nutter plays a vital role in helping prevent the Apocalypse. Though some of her prophecies aren’t entirely straightforward, making the process more difficult than it already is, they not only aid humanity in saving the world, but the angel and demon who’ve joined the cause. While the core events of Good Omens pivot around the Apocalypse, one key character is the witch Agnes Nutter....
Most of the time when you see shows that have lasted a heck of a long time, it comes down to the protagonist being the best character. On Grey’s Anatomy, though, Meredith isn’t considered as the fans’ favorite for the most part. While she’s not the worst character, she certainly has a lot of flaws that aren’t easy to overlook. Over her long tenure onscreen, Meredith has shown qualities both good and bad; she’s also been known for several traits that are exclusive to her, and being a jerk is something she’s excelled at more than a few times....
When Nintendo announced that their next collaboration with Niantic Labs was going to be Pikmin-branded, I was surprised. The Pikmin brand isn’t well-known outside of deeply passionate circles of Nintendo fans. But I think that’s about to change with Pikmin Bloom, the latest Nintendo mobile game that hit the App Store today in the United States. Pikmin Bloom isn’t quite like Pokémon Go. It’s not one of those hyper-engaging games that requires hands-on attention....
The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss has joined the cast of The Kitchen, an adaptation of the Vertigo comic book about mob wives taking over the business. Tiffany Haddish was first to sign on for the New Line feature, followed later by Melissa McCarthy. Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton) will write the script and also direct, marking her feature film helming debut. Published by Vertigo, a DC imprint devoted to more adult fare, The Kitchen takes place in the world of Irish mobsters in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen circa 1970....
Walter Isaacson ran into controversy when he wrote his lengthy biography on Apple cofounder Steve Jobs a decade ago. But that apparently hasn’t deterred him from tackling tech guru bios, as he is now writing an Elon Musk biography … Background Walter Isaacson is as high-profile a name as you can get when it comes to a biographer. Former chair and CEO of CNN and editor of Time magazine, his 656-page book Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography was published just weeks after the death of its subject....
Since he first swung onto the big screen in 2002, there have been a total of three actors who have taken on the role of the web-slinger in three different Spidey series. The first was Tobey Maguire, who starred in the Sam Raimi-directed series that included Spider-Man and its two sequels. To many, especially those who grew up with his portrayal, Maguire’s is the quintessential version of the superhero. And while many, many superhero films have been released since the first Spider-Man series ended its run in 2007, Spider-Man 2 is still often cited as one of the best superhero movies of all time....
Facebook on Wednesday announced its fiscal 2021 second quarter results with $29 billion in revenue, representing a 56% year-over-year growth. With faster growth than Apple and Microsoft during the same period, it seems that Facebook hasn’t been affected by the privacy changes introduced with iOS 14.5 — at least for now. More impressive than Facebook’s total revenue during Q2 FY2021 is the profit, which grew 101% to $10.4 billion. The company reported that the number of active users on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp increased by 12% when compared to last year, now with 2....
Future Man season 2 is out now, but what can audiences expect from Future Man season 3? The time-travel/’80s nostalgia comedy reinvented itself impressively in its second outing, spending most of its time exploring one era but still managing to mine nostalgia and comedy regardless of the setting. Stu Cahill’s villainous character might be a prime example of nature over nurture, but Future Man as a whole astounds in its ability to be more than the sum of its parts....
Game of Thrones returns a little later than unusual this year, with season 6 premiering in late April. That’s surely a scheduling decision by HBO more than anything else, but since fans are frothing at the mouth to learn the fates of more than few characters (though obviously one in particular), having to wait even longer for a new season is torture. Which is sort of fitting, actually, considering how cruel Game of Thrones often is to its characters - why not send a little pain the viewers way as well?...
The popular Apple Watch app Gentler Streak, which was created to help users with their fitness goals, was recently updated with some new features. The latest version of the app comes with a 2022 Activity Recap that is available to all users, and it also adds support for the Action Button on the Apple Watch Ultra. The 2022 Activity Recap, as the name suggests, shows a summary of the user’s activities that were recorded in the Gentler Streak app during the year....
Strap yourselves in, DC Comics fans: the Doomsday Clock is ticking down to the truth of DC’s Rebirth/Watchmen bombshells completely revealed. After DC’s Rebirth began with the revelation that Dr. Manhattan was pulling the strings behind the scenes of the New 52 Universe, fans knew that Ge0ff Johns was setting DC’s heroes up for one heck of a fall. The other shoe will be dropping with Doomsday Clock explaining why Dr....
There’s been a lot of Joker-related movie news recently, but one film related to the Clown Prince of Crime appears to have fallen by the wayside: Gotham City Sirens. Has it been canceled? The project, which has David Ayer linked as director, was first mooted in late 2016 and back then appeared to be an evolution of the Margot Robbie-produced Harley Quinn spinoff, seeing the psychotic psychiatrist teaming up with fellow Batman villains Poison Ivy and Catwoman....
The Han Solo Star Wars (2018) anthology film, which was first announced in 2015, is set to come out in May 2018. Like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), the Han Solo film is a “stand alone” story set in the Star Wars universe. In this case, Han Solo will be set before the events of the original trilogy, showing what Han Solo was up to before he met Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker in A New Hope (1977)....
Evan Peters compares X-Men: The Dark Phoenix’s tone to its predecessors, saying that while it can be light like X-Men: First Class, it’s also darker than X-Men: Apocalypse. Marking the directorial debut of longtime X-Men films producer Simon Kinberg, the film will be the fourth installment from the rebooted franchise timeline. Not much is known regarding specific narrative details of the movie, but it’s tipped to adapt the quintessential X-Men comic book stories of the same name from writer Chris Claremont, which puts Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey under the spotlight as she becomes the Dark Phoenix....
According to the sources, Apple is planning to use the A15 chip inside the new iPad mini, just like the new iPhones expected to be released later this year. The A15 chip will use the same 5-nanometer fabrication process as the A14, and our sources indicate Apple is also working on a more powerful A15X variant that could be used in other iPads down the line. The new iPad mini will also feature USB-C connectivity on the bottom, the sources say, similar to the iPad Pro and the latest iPad Air....
A new Honest Trailer for Face/Off spotlights the craziness of Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switching identities. When it comes to A-list actors in Hollywood, few have had stranger career paths than Cage and Travolta. Both men have been nominated twice at the Oscars, with Cage winning for 1995’s Leaving Las Vegas. Both have at various times been considered one of the biggest stars in the world, and both have turned in performances so good that they’re impossible not to respect....
