Remakes are all the rage lately, as any avid moviegoer is keen to realize. Why wouldn’t a company want to make one? If you loved the original, bring yourself (and potentially your child, depending on the film and the gap between it and its remake) and experience the same joy again. A recent report shows that remakes have always been prevalent in film during the new millennium, but they have actually fallen out of favor with audiences....

It’s no secret that video games and movies just can’t seem to see each other eye-to-eye. As we’ve all noticed by now, movies based on video games often miss the mark. However, video games aren’t the best at staying faithful to the movies they adapt either. Sometimes when making a movie tie-in, video games stray from the path. Some games will add tons of additional content or radically alter movie events in order to pad out a movie’s action to fit in multiple levels....

Since the dawn of television, network executives have been in desperate need of new content to fill their broadcast schedules. Comic books have certainly helped in this regard, providing inspiration for several popular TV shows over the past 60 years. From the classic Adventures of Superman series in the 1950s, through to Marvel Studios’ recent Netflix output, numerous superhero properties have been translated to the small screen. Even comics not centered around costumed adventurers have served as the basis for TV shows, including horror phenomenon The Walking Dead....

As far as post-apocalyptic nuclear dystopian video games go, it’s hard to get weirder than Fallout 76. Long-term fans of the Fallout franchise love the unpredictability that the post-nuclear war environment can bring. In addition to the mutated people and animals caused by massive doses of radiation, there are hideout shelter “vaults” that weren’t always kind to the survivors. In the franchise, some vaults were built for people to simply live and wait out the apocalypse, while others were constructed to experiment on the very people stuck within....

Luke Cage is written to be the perfect street-level hero. As a mixture of enforcer and private investigator, his position in Harlem makes Cage a hero with the greatest connection to his neighbors, even compared to Daredevil over in Hell’s Kitchen. Being bulletproof, Luke Cage is as effective as a symbol as Batman because of his power’s simplicity and intimidation effect, but the specifics of Cage’s abilities get a little bit more complicated upon a closer look....

Last year wasn’t an easy one for many, but Apple and other tech giants not only weathered all of 2021’s storms, but achieved some of their biggest ever revenue growth. Wall Street was waiting for the holiday quarter earnings announcements from the major players before reaching their conclusions on the year from an investment perspective, and the results were spectacular… The Verge reports. Apple didn’t break its all-time revenue growth in percentage terms, but did so in dollar terms....

Red Dead Redemption 2, more than two months after release, is still the talk of the town, and with good reason. The game is brimming with so much content, from over one hundred story missions to numerous side quests and random happenings, that it would not be a stretch to believe there are still undiscovered secrets. This is not to say that everything about the title is perfect, but it stands as a technical achievement and a step forward for the medium as an art form....

You’ve probably heard of a little thing called the Pokémon series. It’s right up there with Super Mario as one of Nintendo’s biggest names, despite the fact that Nintendo themselves don’t actually make the games (that would be Game Freak). Regardless, it’s a heck of a name to be able to drop. Pokémon Red and Blue arrived in the west in 1998, which was a darn powerful year for video games....

30 Rock ran for seven seasons and featured an interesting cast of characters. Tina Fey created the show, which was inspired by her time as head writer for Saturday Night Live. The comedy variety show is called TGS. Fey portrays Liz Lemon, the head writer at 30 Rock and our main character. While she is quirky, the other characters are often even more quirky. Among those other characters is Jenna, one of the actors for the variety show....

The actors listed below are some of the biggest names in Hollywood. They’ve gone on to make millions, win Academy Awards, and get handed some of the most coveted roles without even having to audition. But there’s one thing they still can’t escape: their IMDb pages. While many believe being an actor is a cushy job that never requires one to actually get their hands dirty, most don’t realize that the actors who make it to the big-time have often suffered through years — if not decades — of rejection....

Movie titles have gotten lazy. More recently, the trend has become to give a film a name that gives everything away before the first trailer drops. Some titles are so painstakingly obvious they may spoil the ending, while others give away a crucial plot detail without you even noticing. Either way, this way of shopping movies to customers is so ubiquitous that we could rattle off candidates for days. But just because a title qualifies as literal doesn’t always mean it tells you everything you need to know....

The evolution of film clichés is a fascinating subject. True clichés are a lot like a particularly nasty virus. By the time that anyone really bothers to give it a name or even notice it, it has already spread out of control. There is a negative connotation to the word cliché, primarily because many people don’t bother to really pay attention to the cliché itself until it’s everywhere and has become an all-too-common part of the moviemaking business....

In 2001, 4Kids Entertainment acquired the rights to produce the English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! for an international audience. They must have realized that they bit off more than they could chew, as the show required extensive editing in order to become broadcast-worthy. Yu-Gi-Oh! was filled with gruesome deaths that needed to be censored, which often led to ridiculous changes to the show. The Yu-Gi-Oh! television show helped to popularize the card game of the same name....

The 16-inch MacBook Pro is showing as unavailable for pickup at many Apple stores, with online orders showing delayed shipping too. That is naturally creating speculating about an imminent launch of the upcoming M1X model – which turned out to be correct! Mark Gurman spotted the issue. While there’s no one who would be happier than me to see the launch of the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon, there is an alternative explanation for the lack of immediate availability: supply chain issues....

While many large companies rely on their corporate image and branding, smaller organizations frequently highlight a particular person as their customer face. Sometimes this is because the business is a sole trader or one-shareholder company. In other cases, the business is more substantial, but opts to use one particular owner or manager as their “face.” There is a third category, where businesses rely solely on a celebrity influencer as the face of the company....

The Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanoff aka Natalia Romanova, is one of the Marvel Universe’s fiercest fighters and stealthiest spies. Making her comic book debut way back in 1964 in an issue of Tales of Suspense, the Black Widow was originally a femme fatale who made trouble for Iron Man and his Avengers. Over time, she became an ally, an Avenger, and even a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. As a result, Natasha held her own against gods, aliens, and otherwise enhanced human beings in battles that spanned decades....

That is why it’s important to know how to write catchy subject lines. If you don’t, your email campaigns will be a worthless exercise. Your emails will have a low open rate and an even lower click-through rate. And all of your valuable, well-crafted email content will go undiscovered. 19 Tips to Write Catchy Email Subject Lines: Tips to Write Catchy Email Subject Lines Now that you understand the importance of writing compelling subject lines, you need more than writing skills to craft them....

There were some TV shows that based their entire existence on story twists. Shows like Lost and Twin Peaks kept their audience tuning in every week with shocking revelations that made them rethink the events of previous episodes. It was these mystery plots and the unraveling of the meaning behind them that enthralled audiences across the globe and turned them into fans for life. You can’t resolve every storyline in a shocking way, otherwise, the audience will grow to expect the unexpected and the twists that do appear will lose their effect....
