Superheroes are known for protecting the innocent and often giving voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. To most, this only applies to human beings, but certain heroes have widened their protective umbrella to encompass animals as well. A few of them have even gone beyond simply altering their diet and have dabbled in animal rights activism. Surprisingly, although Aquaman spends a great deal of time protecting all manner of creatures that inhabit the sea, he also enjoys eating fish and chips....

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally about to get one of cinema’s first real villainous team ups when Suicide Squadhits theaters this summer. Aside from hopefully righting the ship that nearly tipped over with Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad is meant to extend the DC Cinematic Universe and bring a whole bunch of new and returning characters into the fray in an exciting way. With Suicide Squad, look for director David Ayer to bring some much needed sense of fun to DC movies and provide audiences with the type of light-hearted adventure that Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder never could....

Apart from the general ineptitude of David Brent, much of the foundation on which the original UK version of The Office was built upon was the flirtation between Tim and Dawn. In fact, that entire series concluded before we even saw the two officially get together. When Tim and Dawn became Jim and Pam for the American version, there was some worry that they got together too early on in the show’s run....

Use a Keyboard Shortcut with an Always on Top AutoHotkey Script AutoHotkey is a free program that allows you to create scripts to perform multiple actions with a single keyboard shortcut.

While some naysayers predict audiences will eventually grow tired of the comic book movie “fad”, there’s certainly no sign of that happening anytime soon. The release slate for 2017 alone sees a solid line-up of comic movies on the horizon, from long-awaited sequels to hopeful franchise starters. At this stage in the game, Marvel and DC have become experts in whipping up pre-release hype for their forthcoming blockbusters, releasing trailers and posters to whet the appetite of the fanbase....

The Pokémon video game franchise has become one of the most popular and most iconic franchises in the world. Originally, the first-generation games of Pokémon Red and Blue (Green in Japan) introduced over 151 different Pokémon. Today, that list has increased to well over 800 Pokémon, many of which can only be obtained during special events. As the games evolved, the first generation of Pokémon evolved along with them. With new game mechanics, such as Mega Evolution and the expansion of battle and support items, the first generation of Pokémon have proven themselves to be more than a match for the latest generations of Pokémon....

Most people would say that the greatest gangster movie ever made is The Godfather, but a strong argument could be made instead for Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas. It is certainly the more entertaining of the two, with its impeccable soundtrack, fast cuts, sense of humor, voiceover narration, and all-over-the-place narrative structure. Also, it’s based on a true story. The life of Henry Hill actually happened. The Corleone family is entirely fictional. Goodfellas’ adaptation of true events adds a whole new layer to both the comedy and tragedy of the story....

Magic has long been a staple of the DC Comics universe, and many heroes have used it as the source of their powers. The person who really codified magic in DC Comics was Alan Moore, who helped link together all of the disparate magic-using superheroes during his run on Swamp Thing. This series helped form the Vertigo imprint, which is the label DC uses for comics with adult content. Vertigo would become the home of many magic-based series (such as Hellblazer)....

In 1966, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were coming up with ideas for a new villain to face the Fantastic Four. What they came up was a demigod that feasted upon the life energy of worlds. His name was Galactus, and his presence proved to the Fantastic Four that there was a whole universe full of super-powered beings out there, and the responsibility of protecting the Earth from them had fallen onto their shoulders....

If you’re waiting impatiently for the upcoming M1X-powered MacBook Pro machines, a new supply-chain report says that 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro production is now underway. There’s still no certainty as to when the new machines will go on sale, however … Background We’ve heard conflicting reports about when to expect the new machines. Even the most optimistic of these only said that they might be released “as early as” sometime in the summer, while the most pessimistic have suggested November....

A Knight’s Tale is a difficult movie to define. Is it a period piece or a rock musical? Is it a coming-of-age adventure or a romance? Is it historical fiction or a sports movie? The answer to all these questions is “yes,” as writer-director Brian Helgeland made a film that bent every genre it touched. The film stars Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant whose father apprentices him to a wandering knight, Sir Ector....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been expanding rapidly over the last decade or so. But even before the MCU became a household name, Marvel made movies and television shows that have long since been forgotten. With the huge resurgence of comic book movies and television shows, more and more people are curious about exploring Marvel’s past and finding other forgotten gems. Did you know about the teenage Tony Stark’s high school exploits in Iron Man: Armored Adventures (2009-2012)?...

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the hit new animated Spider-Man movie following the alternate Spider-Man Miles Morales, is perhaps the greatest Spider-Man movie to ever hit the big screen. Its absolutely gorgeous and unique animation style makes it pop on screen, making the visuals feel abstract and comic-book-like, which is something that no live-action Spider-Man movie has ever been able to accomplish. Outside of its visuals, the narrative of Into the Spider-Verse is incredibly intriguing, featuring alternate Spider-Men from six different universes....

Twitch’s audience is primarily made up of teenage gamers. When Similar Web studied the web behavior of Twitch users, they found the top keywords this audience searched for were “games,” “computers,” and “technology.” From that information, we can infer that most Twitch users are interested in the games and the technology necessary to play them. And many of those teenagers spend hours watching entertaining Twitch influencers. Not only are these influencers entertaining, some of the top Twitch Influencers can earn up to seven figures per year from these broadcasts thanks to sponsorships, subscriptions and ad share among other things....

There are some sitcoms that last longer than they should, but the majority of viewers agree that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has gotten funnier as time went on. The series premiered on FX in August 2005, and the show is still pumping out new seasons to this day. The show finished its thirteenth season in November 2018, and the fourteenth season is thought to premiere sometime in 2019....

Although AMC’s The Walking Dead started off as a mostly faithful adaptation of the acclaimed, and on-going, series of graphic novels that it was based on, sooner than later it started to veer off from the source material. Of course, there have been positive changes, such as the additions of characters like Daryl and Merle. But not every change has had the same impact with the fanbase. For instance, fairly recently, we saw the departure of Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes, who’s still very much present in the comics, as most fans are well aware of....

Microsoft has become the second US public company to join what was previously an Apple exclusive: the $2T company club … CNET reports that the company’s achievement was rather brief. However, it would take only the smallest upward movement to restore its membership, so we can expect the position to be permanent within a day or so. The company hit the threshold as shares rose as much as 1.2% before sliding back a little to close at $265....
