While there were loads of problems with Avatar: The Last Airbender, the actors have recently blamed the film’s failure on miscasting. Some films have such great premises, are beautifully shot, and are full of great actors, but audiences’ enjoyment of them can easily be marred by a single performance. Even the best actors can have missteps in their careers, and even the best movies can see some performances that drag it down a bit....

The beautiful thing about Disney movies is that they appeal to just about everybody. Most have positive messages, like the social commentary in movies like Zootopia, and the stories are always inspiring regardless of the bumps in the road that the characters face. And what helps some of these characters on their journey are their strong Disney moms. While Disney is notorious for giving characters a single parent (or no parents), these animated moms have pulled on fans’ heartstrings over the years and became heroes in their own ways....

We try to keep our TV show diet wide and varying, but even more importantly, we try to keep it balanced. While we definitely enjoy the junk food that is reality TV shows (especially 90 Day Fiancé) we have no problems clearing the veggies (aka the period dramas and related educational programming) from our plate, either. For a long time, Downton Abbey was our go-to show whenever we needed a healthy dose of culture, but it’s been a few years now since the series finale aired, and we’ve had to find other shows to fill that quality television void....

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air remains one of the funniest sitcoms for a reason. Will Smith’s fictionalized version of himself keeps his awkward-yet-loveable swagger, and we love every minute of it. Carlton, his cousin, is the perfect counter to Will. Super ritzy upbringing and afraid to get dirty, both literally and metaphorically. With the rest of the Banks family each having their quirks, the show continues to be a great watch whenever you need a smile....

Despite what many people might have been hoping, it looks like the reboot craze will be continuing well into 2017. This year, we’ve got Power Rangers, Spider-Man, and several other characters and franchises returning for a comeback. Will they be any good? Who knows, reworks are tricky things. In some cases, such as Schumacher’s Batman, they are disasters that are best left to the dustbin of pop culture history. On the other hand, when they work as well as everything we’re about to discuss, they can breath new life into old characters and reinvigorate failing franchises....

The Series C funding round included the participation of ICONIQ Growth, Tiger Global, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Backbone Angels, and Accel, which led the Canadian company’s series A and B rounds. Celebrities like Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew McConaughey, Chris Evans, Rita Wilson, Ashton Kutcher, Trevor Noah, Justin Timberlake, and Pharrell Williams also participated in the series C round. Executives like Robert Iger and LinkedIn’s Jeff Weiner invested in the company as well....

Update: Wireless CarPlay unfortunately did not make release for the 2021 model as originally planned. Customers can expect wired CarPlay in the 2021 model, and wireless CarPlay in the 2022 model. What’s CarPlay? CarPlay lets drivers easily interact with the iPhone while significantly limiting distractions using built-in displays in cars. It provides access to Apple Music and Spotify, Apple Maps and Waze, and phone calls and messaging using Siri. Most cars require the driver to connect their iPhone to the car using a Lightning cable for starting CarPlay and charging....

Cartoons have been around ever since the early 1900s. They have evolved over the years but first started out in 1908 when Émile Cohl created what historians credit the first ever cartoon. The animation was just over a minute and completely hand drawn. Animation and cartoons have developed quite a bit since then and the medium is still going strong to this day. Kids who grew up anywhere from the 1960s through the 1990s probably have a fond memory of waking up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons....

Let’s take a look at the three most popular tracking technologies and their impact on privacy. GPS tracking It seems like just about every mobile device out there today is equipped with whiz-bang technology, including the ability to pinpoint its location using GPS coordinates. The advances in global positioning systems have made traveling much less stressful for the recreational and business traveler. Additionally, GPS in company-supplied phones makes it easy to track where the device is – and by extension, the location of the worker holding it....

Coined by Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s, Auteur theory is the default mode of modern movie critique. The idea that a project reflects the creative vision of its director has become vitally popular to the way viewers typically absorb the artform. Critics Andrew Sarris and André Bazin advocated for as much back in the day, arguing that filmmakers must possess technical competence, personal style, and interior meaning to earn their artsy badge of endorsement....

Ask any author where they get their ideas. The most common response by far is “from the world around me.” Even if the finished product is about a magical faraway land, a distant planet, or a bleak and horrible future, aspects of the author’s life will find their way in. The Harry Potter series is uncommonly rich in lore. Just ask any fans of the lexicon. Between the vast cast of characters, magical spells and ingredients, the names of people and places, and even things that seem thoroughly unique and magical—a lot of them came from the world we live in every day....

The first season of Game of Thrones was released a few months before the fifth novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series of which it is based on. The success of the TV show gave some fans the false hope that the increased interest would ignite a fire in George R.R. Martin that would allow him to quickly finish the series so that the later seasons of Game of Thrones could be faithful adaptations of his work....

Better known as Natasha Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna Romanova made her comic debut in 1964 in Tales of Suspense #52. Black Widow was created by Stan Lee, Don Rico and Don Heck. However, Nat wasn’t always the hero we’ve come to know and love. She actually began her journey as a villain; a Russian spy who was an early antagonist of Iron Man. Natasha later defected to the U.S., joining S.H.I.E.L.D. and eventually becoming an Avenger....

What we really love about the idea of influencer merch is that even smaller influencers can build a decent income and grow their brand if they have an engaged following. While most influencers with more than 100,000 followers are selling merch or products of some type, smaller brands sometimes limit themselves because they believe that they need millions of followers if they hope to sell anything. But, it’s important to remember that a large number of followers doesn’t necessarily mean success....

Comic book fans are not shy about making their opinions heard. Whether it be through forums, comment sections, or votes arranged by publishers, the fans have had a consistent influence on the stories they read. Today, social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook make interacting with creators and publishers as easy as sending a quick message or tagging them in your post with relatively minimal effort, but in the pre-internet era, fans had to go out of their way to interact with creators, perhaps making their contributions carry a little more weight then....
