Most of us are familiar with the genius of Jim Henson, whether from The Muppets, Sesame Street, or any number of his films. The famous puppeteer and creator certainly had a gift for creating memorable and visually stunning characters. So much so, in fact, that an entire workshop was created dedicated to the production of some of these famous creatures. Classic shows like The Storyteller and Fraggle Rock (and movies like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal) owe everything to this visionary....

With hundreds of legendary sitcoms out there, it can be incredibly hard to make a difference on TV. Grasping the audience through the art of humor and relationships, sitcoms have notes to hit in order to make it a success. The 10 sitcoms listed below were iconic in their own right, lasting for multiple seasons and winning many awards. But no matter how good they were, their finales didn’t match the rest of the season....

Pixar is one of Disney’s most vital brands and is constantly producing award-winning animation. Their franchises are iconic and plenty of them have spin-off potential. In fact, some of them have already experienced spin-offs of sorts already. With Disney Plus, there’s a new opportunity to create shows based on these classic films and continue to expand their worlds. While a few Pixar franchises will get that, there’s plenty more that could benefit from spin-offs....

We’ve already gone over all the many reasons why Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe might end up going on to become the Golden Age of all comic book movies – and, indeed, that remains a very likely possibility. However, there’s also the chance that the 10(!) movies Marvel plans on releasing over the next three years might end up having the exact opposite effect, that of sabotaging the longevity of the MCU, specifically, or undermining the superhero film’s time in the spotlight, generally....

There are bad movies, and there are good movies. There are the movies the critics like, and the ones they pan. Sometimes, critics can be unnecessarily harsh towards a film. But we get why they can be that way - they’re paid to professionally analyze film and to suss out the good from the bad, and so sometimes their criticism can seem hyperbolic or nit-picky. Critics usually get it right, and the merit-based recommendations they make are echoed by the general public....

Airing since 2017, Dear White People is a Netflix original series based on the 2014 movie of the same name. The show follows students of color through their typical college drama. Samantha is the protagonist, and she owns a radio show after which the series is called, where she addresses political and social issues that she is fed up with seeing around the university campus. Labeled as a ‘woke’ show, Dear White People enlightens its audience on examples of everyday racism, especially around young adults, that need to be changed....

There is no shortage of comedies in this world but when it comes to the top tier, that’s a shortlist that always includes Ghostbusters. Taking Saturday Night Live alumni and ’trading extra-terrestrial for supernatural,’ star Sigourney Weaver produced a legendary comedy. You’ll hear endless stories about how much or how most of the film is improvised by its stars, particularly Bill Murray. You’ll notice great subtle jokes amid the flowing, natural chemistry of the cast, but there are always more things to notice....

Over thirty years since its initial release, Top Gun is still revered as one of the most popular aviation films out there. Not only does it have memorable characters, but also a catchy soundtrack and quotable lines. But while Top Gun’s simple story works for a movie, can it be translated into a television series? Absolutely, because there’s a whole history of aviation-themed TV series that came out before and after Top Gun with the same blend of action and drama in them....

Rotten Tomatoes became the first (or at least the most successful) of its kind when it promoted the idea of aggregated movie and television reviews. The concept of the “Tomatometer” marks TV shows based on a minimum of twenty reviews, with five reviews needing to come from Top Critics. Those with a Certified Fresh badge are noted as the most successful films that are praised by critics, and more importantly, fans....

VirtualBox is packed with features that you may have never used, even if you frequently use it to run virtual machines. VMware keeps many of its best features to its paid versions, but all of VirtualBox’s features are completely free. Many of the features here require Guest Additions installed in your virtual machine. This is good to do anyway, as installing the Guest Additions package will speed up your virtual machines....

The price point of this device is not yet known. Interestingly, Digitimes reports that the device will usurp the 11 inch Air in the lineup, perhaps suggesting that the 12 inch Air will be in the same ballpark as far as price is concerned. Due to landing orders for both the 12 inch MacBook Air and the Apple Watch, expected in March, Quanta will hire an additional 30,000 people according to the report....

It’s no secret that Hollywood looks all over the place for inspiration, and one of their main sources for ideas is the world of literature. Books already have characters with great story arcs and, usually, interesting problems that they need to overcome — and, if the studio is really lucky, a large and devoted fan following. There have been plenty of mainstream book to film adaptations that have gone on to be huge hits....

Upon her death, Hannah left behind 13 retro cassette tapes, each listing ‘reasons why’ she took her own life.

Sometimes no matter how hard they try, actors just can’t seem to break away from the public perception they’ve built up over their careers. For the performers of this list, that career has been spent playing some of the biggest bads of the screen. From the cerebral manipulator to the most psychotic killers imaginable, they’ve provided some of the most memorable antagonists in cinematic history, though they’ve rarely gotten the credit they deserve....

The holidays may be over but there are some things (like families) that will haunt us forever. What has haunted the Star Wars fandom (and creator George Lucas most of all) for over forty years was the first sequel Star Wars film ever created. No, it’s not The Empire Strikes Back, it The Star Wars Holiday Special. The special premiered on television in 1978, and Lucas has been trying to destroy copies of it ever since....

If there’s one common feature among many of our favorite Pixar films, it’s the thrilling adventures taken by the characters. From Paris to Paradise, Headquarters to home, there have been many destinations that familiar faces set out for in the twenty plus years since Pixar’s first full-length movie in in 1995. Some had a friend to keep them company (and talk their ear off - we’re looking at you, Dory), and others braved their voyage alone....

Horror movies were plentiful in 2019. Though there were many flops, the good ones outshone the bad by far, and ultimately, gave horror fans a bright outlook on the future of the genre. However, as great as the popular hits were, like Jordan Peele’s Us, Ari Aster’s Midsommar, and Andy Muscietti’s It Chapter 2, there were several great horror movies to come out of 2019 that never really got the recognition they deserved....

Gilmore Girls was all about Lorelai and her daughter Rory, two leading ladies who ate junk food while watching classic flicks, drank copious amounts of coffee, lived in the quaintest and quirkiest little town and had several notable relationships over the years. Some of these relationships were clearly not meant to be. Others seemed too good to be true. And all of them, the good and the bad and everything in between, taught some very valuable lessons to the characters and to viewers, as well....
