Much like the undead, it seems that movies and TV shows about zombies aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. They’re definitely here to stay, and horror fans have The Walking Dead to thank for that in part. The popular AMC drama based on Robert Kirkman’s comics of the same name altered the scope of cable television. It pushed boundaries and forged compelling characters that fans of the show both love and love to hate....

For a long time, there was a huge separation of the actors that would do voice-over roles and the actors starring in big-budget blockbusters. The A-list actors would leave the smaller, less glamorous roles to voices of people like Tom Kenny and Tara Strong. While these actors still dominate the field, with the advent of motion capture and an exponential increase of video games made per year, there is room for other talent....

While reshoots are often seen as a sign a production is in trouble, the reality is that most big movies have them in some form or another. The filmmakers might want to add a scene clarifying a plot point, or rework an action sequence to make it bigger, and most of the time, the movies benefit from the added footage. That said, sometimes a production can be so hellish that the resulting movie is a mess, and drastic measures need to be taken....

If you listen to the Internet, you might think that the Pokemon games are mere shadows of their former selves. Lackluster design, boring quests and downright bad additions to the roster have, according to the series’ detractors, ruined what was once a truly fantastic franchise. However, that really couldn’t be farther from the truth. Despite what the so-called ‘Genwunners’ might say, Pokemon has only gotten stronger over the past few entries....

In the often fickle world of reality television, American Pickers has proven to be one of the shows with the greatest staying power. Recently beginning its 20th season for the History Channel, American Pickers has been on the air since 2010 with over 250 episodes under its belt. Making household names out of “pickers” Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz (to the point that Mike made a cameo appearance last year as himself on NCIS), the show also includes the duo’s various employees, colleagues, and partners-in-crime, most notably, Danielle Colby, Robbie Wolfe, Lauren Wray Grisham, and Dave Ohrt....

Hollywood has never had any shortage of power couples – nor of any power couple breakups! Way back in the day, legendary relationships like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton filled pages of gossip magazines in the days before the internet. Their hot and heavy affair would have made TMZ every single night if it were happening in today’s times. Much more recently, the end of the seemingly unstoppable “Brangelina” team of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came as a shock to many....

The Office is definitely known for its amazing array of characters that they have on the show. They have characters that are either downright boring in their nature, or so over the top ridiculous that fans had no choice but to love them.

Joel Schumacher’s 1987 film inspired many bands and even had influences on iconic vampire shows, such as Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Now the CW is putting together a new series re-telling the story of the Frog Brothers, Michael and Star, and the leather-clad vampires. With the Lost Boys remake on the way, it’s time to reminisce about one of the most memorable vampire movies of the eighties. Lost Boys came from the Peter Pan legend, but when Schumacher joined the project he aged up the characters to their teen years....

The Arrowverse is definitely one of the most populous live-action superhero universes, after the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Possibly more so because, unlike the MCU, the Arrowverse also takes place on multiple Earths, which makes multiple versions of characters. All the many characters introduced over the years has led to some interesting talk of couple combinations amongst fans. Some are easier to support than others. For every Oliver/Felicity or Iris/Barry, there’s a definitely another pairing that can seem a bit out there or, at least, unlikely to happen....

When Naruto first started, fans did not expect that the number one knucklehead ninja would find love. The cast was tight-knit through the beginning stages of the story, and the only love interest that seemed possible was Sakura. Sakura was obsessed with Sasuke in the early part of the series, but fans imagined Naruto would end up with her somehow in the end. Suddenly, all the speculation changed when Hinata Hyuga was revealed to the fans....

All 27 members of the European Union now seem set to adopt the Apple/Google coronavirus contact tracing API. The European Commission last week said that all EU countries should adopt the same app or at least a common standard known as the Pan-European Privacy Preserving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT) platform … At that point, it seemed like the EU might develop its own approach, but it is today hinting that it will instead use the Apple/Google API....

The doubling of the character limit for tweets has made Twitter users more polite and less prone to using annoying abbreviations, says the company … Axios reports the change. The increased length of tweets has also made Twitter a more interactive place. There’s a decline of abbreviations like “gr8” (-36%), “b4” (-13%), and “sry” (-5%) in favor of the full words — “great” (+32%), “before” (+70%), and “sorry” (+31%). Only a minority of Twitter users take advantage of the extra characters, however....

While we must compliment HBO for finding a way to drag out the final Game of Thrones episodes for as long as possible with their upcoming shortened season schedules, the fact is that the beloved series must eventually come to an end. Oh sure, the network might find a way to squeeze a couple of spin-offs into the schedule, but the story of feudal feuding that we’ve been following for years now will lead to a series of climatic moments that may very well determine Game of Thrones’ legacy in the long-term....

While fans of The Walking Dead TV show are wailing over the events of the premiere last week like they just watched the Red Wedding, comic fans are shaking their heads and muttering, “That happened years ago.” It tends to happen often, especially since most comic fans do enjoy the show as well. The comic series, where almost no one is safe, is just much harsher than the AMC program. It’s so violent, in fact, that it’s a good thing that it’s made in black and white....
