Managing a film shoot is extremely stressful. Obviously, tons of work goes into the movie-making process and it can be difficult to balance every aspect of every department. Sometimes films turn out perfectly, sometimes they turn into total bombs, and sometimes the little things just slip through the cracks. The Spider-Man movies are just as massive and complex as any other blockbuster movie, and sometimes those small mistakes just can’t be avoided when it comes to a gigantic production....

Multiple 2K Games’ social media accounts were hacked yesterday, from Facebook to Twitter. 2K is responsible for publishing titles such as NBA 2K20, the BioShock series and XCOM. This year was a roller coaster for the video game publishing company. Recently, 2K’s latest WWE game came under scrutiny for being littered with bugs and graphical issues. On the flip-side, Borderlands 3 was received quite well and is projected to be one of this holiday’s best sellers....

This morning the 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced, and the list includes a number of new shows and plenty of returning favorites. Emmy voters are nothing if not committed to the series and the performers they like, and who have taken home awards before.

If you’re after a new high-spec iMac, you may be faced with a tricky decision. A couple of comparisons show that the 2019 iMac versus iMac Pro battle is a closer call than you might expect. The iMac Pro definitely has its benefits, but drop some of the cash difference on upgrades to the 2019 iMac, and things get interesting … CNET says that the proliferation of external GPUs means that a lot of it now comes down the whether or not you need the more powerful CPU options of the Pro....

With 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicks into high gear for Phase 3, raising the stakes for the most successfully-mapped cinematic franchise ever built. But even the best laid plans of Kevin Feige can sometimes go awry. In the midst of managing dozens of characters over a couple of dozen movies, mistakes will be made. Which is understandable, and forgivable, considering the huge amount of fandom joy and huge profits the movies have generated....

TikTokers share their messages through short 15-second videos on any topic under the sun. Most TikTok influencers choose to focus their videos in a single niche like comedy, beauty, fitness, etc. Even when choosing a niche, however, many TikTokers also participate in challenges on the platform. This gives them the opportunity to reach an even broader audience while still bringing their own personality and style to the challenges. Viral videos (videos that get really popular) are shown on each user’s “for you” page....

There’s nothing like a good villain. Though a solid villain isn’t always necessary to make a good superhero story, it never hurts. A villain who throws everything they have at their hero (and manages to be the slightest bit charismatic while doing it) is a villain worth watching. In the recent superhero boom, fans have been treated to a variety of villains across television and movies. Whether it’s the DCEU, MCU, or even the Arrowverse, some of the best “super” characters have been villains....

In the DC Universe, there’s many teams of superheroes but two stand out among the rest– the Justice League and the Teen Titans. Thanks to their appearances in TV, animated movies, and of course, the comics, the group of young heroes has managed to stand shoulder-to-shoulder, if not eclipse, their older and more famous counterparts. The Teen Titans are a lot more than the kiddie table of the superhero world....

Science fiction anthology series Black Mirror has captivated viewers with its episodes that focus on our relationship with technologies and dark consequences that could arise if we take things too far. While some of the scenarios are totally far-fetched, others aren’t entirely out of the realm of possibility, which makes them even more frightening. As a sci-fi series, Black Mirror is scary more so in the way that it makes you cringe as you think about what society could be like if technology took over....

The CW’s Arrowverse has only gotten bigger and better in the years since Arrow debuted on the network way back in 2012. Intensely popular from the get-go, Arrow spawned an entire connected universe of DC superheroes which has somehow managed to be better received than the big-budget film adaptations also owned by Warner Bros. The Flash, Supergirl, Vixen, Legends of Tomorrow, and Black Lightning all would likely have never been made on The CW if Arrow had failed....

Though the new decade is already off to a promising start when it comes to original ideas, some notable franchises from the ’60s - both in film and television - are riding surprising highs. Though the content has no doubt evolved to keep with the times, their roughly 60-year-old roots are proving to be as relevant as they are timeless....

Liz Lemon might technically be a fictional character, but Tina Fey based the role very much on herself. She’s the head writer of a sketch comedy series on NBC, she lives in New York City, and she’s hilarious – she’s Tina Fey in everything but name. All these years later, Liz Lemon still remains one of the funniest characters on TV, and since 30 Rock is one of the best-written shows of all time, she’s also one of the most quotable....

Although it would be nice if humans could roll through dinosaur-filled amusement parks in giant hamster balls, we can’t always get what we want. Science fiction films are called “fiction” for a reason. They’re meant to tell a story, and in the process, they often bend the rules of science. But the writers of these films often cover up the scientific plot holes with just enough fancy words and graphics that it can be tempting to believe the far-fetched inventions in the plot might actually be possible....
