Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, it’s highly likely that you’ve heard of The Avengers and The Justice League, those all-star team-ups where superheroes get together and fight the battles they couldn’t win alone have resulted in some amazing stories. The concept of the superhero team is almost as old as the superhero himself. Not long after Superman and Batman came the Justice Society of America, the first high-profile superhero team....

The base MacBook Pro priced at $1,299 was previously the non Touch Bar version....
Having a superhero with no weaknesses makes for a mostly boring reading experience. Some DC Comics’ heroes are vulnerable to a specific weakness, such as Superman with Kryptonite and Martian Manhunter with fire. These weaknesses come from the character’s origins and have a direct tie to what made them a hero to begin with. Black Adam brought the DC Extended Universe back to the theaters and the movie was polarizing. While critics blasted it for a weak story, fans loved it mostly because of the action and Dwayne Johnson’s charisma....
Who says a movie’s best actors, jokes, or references have to be put directly in front of the audience? Whether it’s thanks to a total fluke, a relationship behind the scenes, or just a joke too good to pass up, an unexpected or well-hidden cameo can make a good scene into a great one. But fans have to notice them first. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 Hidden Movie Cameos You’ve Never Seen....
People lament how out of touch the Oscars have become, but since its first ceremony all the way back in 1929, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has proven itself a horrible predictor of a film’s/actor’s/director’s lasting impact and legacy. For every “well-deserved” Oscar win, there are a handful of appalling oversights, and in no case is that truer than in looking at the careers of some iconic and important, but unrewarded, talent from Hollywood history....
Hollywood loves its remakes, sequels, and reboots. Frequent complaints from the film community is that Hollywood doesn’t know how to come up with original ideas anymore. Even though it appears audiences don’t mind remakes or sequels since many of them make millions of dollars. That said, sometimes even Hollywood can’t figure out what movies make for the best remake. Some films simply can’t be remade because they were very much a product of their time and wouldn’t translate well for modern audiences....
Quidditch is the only sport in the Harry Potter world that is really talked about at all. As the main sport played in the wizarding world, one would think it would be a game that makes a lot of sense. However, there are many things about Quidditch that are rather head-scratching. From the way the game is played at Hogwarts to the rules of the game, it doesn’t really hold up very well as a sport under close examination....
HBO and George R.R. Martin love to keep us in the dark. They do this because it only makes us more excited about their upcoming creations. The top of everyone’s list is the series finale of HBO’s mega-hit Game of Thrones. But the prequel series that’s set to follow definitely holds the “number 2” slot. There’s very little we know about the upcoming prequel series. However, that doesn’t mean we know nothing about it....
With his sharply chiseled features, steely gaze, and enigmatic bearing, Mads Mikkelsen has made a career of playing sophisticated villains and intense antiheroes. He has a way of making even the most duplicitous criminal multi-faceted and interesting, thanks in part to the Old World charm he emanates. Born in Denmark, he grew up performing on television, and is known even now for playing comedic roles in his home country. His first breakout American role was as the knight Tristan in 2004’s King Arthur, where he met co-star Hugh Dancy, who he would so memorably play opposite years later in Hannibal....
Sudden cancellations and unresolved cliffhangers are bummers for any fans. However, sci-fi fans seem to have to deal with it more than others. There are so many infamous science fiction shows canceled “before their prime” that people have made tons of lists on them. Yes, we already hear the people in the back yelling “Firefly”. It’s only an added salt in the wound when that canceling comes with a really juicy cliffhanger that fans never get to see resolved....
Any show that’s been on TV as long as The Big Bang Theory is sure to rack up an impressive list of guest stars. With everyone from Stephen Hawking to Wil Wheaton to Christine Baranski taking some time to join everyone’s favorite gang of nerds in their many adventures, The Big Bang Theory has possibly had more stars on it than any other sitcom on air. However, with all of these memorable guest stars, there are still plenty of awesome people who you may have forgotten appeared on TBBT during its nine year run....
Many superheroes live in the shadows, fighting the forces of darkness on their own terms. In some cases, they literally fight fire with fire (or hellfire, at times). So, it makes sense that when those more pragmatic heroes do the dirty work that the clean-cut boy scouts in their ivory fortresses of solitude can’t do, things get a little… dark. While going dark doesn’t necessarily constitute a better movie, at times it just makes so much more sense from a stylistic point of view....

With the All That cast reuniting, Cruel Intentionsgetting its own TV show, and Gilmore Girls coming back for a limited series on Netflix, one thing is clear — we refuse to let go of the 90s. It’s the decade where Melissa Joan Hart and Alicia Silverstone reigned supreme, Will Smith proved to be a bankable box office star, a young Leonardo DiCaprio sent teenaged hearts aflutter, and Batman and Superman never acknowledged each other, let alone appeared in the same film....
The Netflix series 13 Reasons Why is one of several projects that have been given the go-ahead to resume production after being shut down by the recent California wildfires. The most serious of these fires, the Camp Fire, consumed over 150,000 acres and claimed 86 lives as it raged over several weeks in November. Less serious than the cost in human life and property was the effect the fires had on production of various Hollywood projects located in the area....
