Although 30 Rock is well regarded for never really deteriorating in quality, that doesn’t mean it never fell to the same trappings other sitcoms, especially after its third season. The longer 30 Rock went on, the stranger it became. For the most part, it was able to weave its newfound weirdness into its already eclectic identity, but it also resulted in a comedy that wasn’t always cohesive. Most notably, when it came to resolving storylines....
The teen movie genre is one of the most popular with thousands of movies telling stories about the joys and pains of being a teenager. While the subject matter of these movies varies, most of them fall under the rom-com subgenre. That includes the gender-swapped remake of She’s All That and timeless classics like Pretty in Pink. Most teen movies are both loved and hated for having clichés such as enemies turning to lovers, best friends becoming something more, or the good girl falling for the bad boy....
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnsons is many things. He’s the hardest working guy in showbiz, a charming old-school action hero, the highest paid actor on the planet, a former WWE wrestler, a most attractive man alive winner, and a revitalizer for aging movie franchises. Heck, it seemed inconceivable that a decade ago the Fast and Furious franchise could go on for much longer, let alone regularly power to a billion dollars....

By all rights, Buffy the Vampire Slayer shouldn’t have been a TV show. The film was panned by critics and certainly didn’t remain true to Joss Whedon’s feminist horror movie script. Luckily, he was granted a second chance to realize his vision when he was approached about resurrecting the idea on television. Buffy the Vampire Slayer shattered the illusion of what we thought TV could do. Constantly subverting expectations, challenging gender roles, and delivering so much more than its title promised, the series also gave us one of the greatest feminist icons of all time....

It’s the scenes where all the species get together that really show you the strangeness of the Star Wars aliens....
I’ve been testing out the iOS 14 beta for the last week, and I’ve been impressed by its relative stability and the vast amount of features packed inside.

In our first hands-on iOS 14 video, we’ll step through over 250 changes and features, including all of the aforementioned QOL improvements such as Picture in Picture, Widgets, App Library, Compact call interface, and more....
If you feel similarly, you’re not alone—when it comes to customer service, people are turning to other methods like in-app messaging and social media as their preferred method of choice. Over the last year, for example, social messaging grew 110% as consumers’ preferred outreach method for customer service issues. Why spend an afternoon on hold when you could simply Tweet or DM a brand with your questions? This shift toward online communication comes at a time when digital customer service interactions are expected to grow by 40% and average weekly support requests are up 20%....

We may be past the days of Generation I, but the Pokémon video game franchise is still going strong. Where players had to put a ton of effort into finding the secrets of Pokémon Red and Blue, the more recent entries in the Pokémon world grant players far more opportunities to find extra content. Gone are the days of glitching your way through the walls of the Pewter City Gym, replaced with dozens of post-game sidequests to entertain the player after defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Pokémon Champion....
Who doesn’t love Sailor Moon? This peppy teen hero defeated evil and saved the world on more than one occasion with her crew of Sailor Soldiers and captivated young girls (and boys) with her inspirational wisdom and girl power mantras. She stole our hearts, educated us on the importance of exercise and studying, and was one of the most relatable animated characters for young girls in the nineties. Sailor Moon Crystal has also been doing the classic Sailor Moon justice and is super entertaining for now-adult fans, not just kids....
Wolverine has proven to be one of the hardest people in comics to kill. For years, Logan seemed unkillable, with a healing factor that allowed him to resurrect from any injury. He seemed so durable that it took What If…? stories to find a way to finally kill him. However, between those alternate Earth stories and the main timeline, Logan has died more than once. In what was arguably the best movie in the X-Men universe, Logan saw an older Wolverine working to protect Professor Xavier, and possibly keep him from losing control of his powers....
Deadpool sliced and diced his way to unseating Avengers: Infinity War from its box office throne over the weekend, scoring $300 million+ internationally.

Few people, when asked what it is about Batman that makes him so compelling, will talk about Robin. They’ll mention Batman’s iconography, his tragic upbringing, his mix of power and pain, but what they won’t mention is the revolutionary superhero plot device that was introduced to make the character flow a little better, who then evolved into a popular character in his own right. Robin wasn’t the first sidekick, but he was the first sidekick to a superhero, and deserves the credit for not just the cliches, and jokes, but also the myriad of dynamics that have tried to emulate the teamwork of Batman and Robin....
An analyst has estimated that the upcoming launch of the 2021 MacBook Pro with M1X chip will result in almost a third of current owners upgrading to one of the new models.
