In most films containing a mysterious element, the truth behind said mystery is revealed before the end credits roll. But that’s not always the case – indeed, some of the greatest movies of all time conclude with at least one major loose end intentionally left dangling. While ambiguity in films can be seen as a good thing – it invites viewers to actively engage with the story in order to find answers, and encourages further discussion – it can also be more than a little maddening!...

After a battery of tests with their current lineup of USB-C and Thunderbolt products, Plugable learned that Apple’s newest MacBook Pros may not be compatible with currently available Thunderbolt 3 devices. This issue seems to specifically stem from the use of Texas Instruments controller chips in the Thunderbolt 3 devices. If true, this means that has Apple potentially shut out early adopters of the new technology. Plugable had began running tests of their USB-C and Thunderbolt products and realized that their Thunderbolt 3 peripherals were no longer compatible with Apple’s latest MacBook Pro....

Winter is here and spring is on the way, so we’re counting down the movies to see over the first four months of 2020. (May, per Screen Rant tradition, will be covered in our summer preview.) 2019 was, in many ways, a massive year for franchise movies. The MCU’s Infinity Saga and Star Wars’ Skywalker saga were both concluded over the last twelve months, with numerous event films arriving in-between them....

Marvel and DC are two of the biggest comic publishers in the world. Marvel dates back to 1939, and DC dates back even further to 1934. The two companies have both been around for a long time and over the years have given readers some iconic superhero characters as well as villains. Marvel has pleased fans with heroes like Spider-man, Hulk, and Captain America and terrorized them with villains like Thanos, Venom, and Red Skull....

The newest reports from Taiwanese media indicate that the iPhone 6 could possibly be revealed in August, not September. According to these rumors, the smaller, 4.7-inch model could be available for purchase the same month, with the larger 5.5-inch version going on sale in September—the month in which most rumors had originally predicted the reveal. As we’ve previously reported, the next iPhone will likely be available in two versions, each with a different size screen larger than the current 4-inch iPhone 5s....

While the Hunger Games series has divided viewers over whether the hugely successful film adaptation lives up to the quality of the utterly brilliant book series, there is no denying that it is one of the biggest franchises of all time, with legions of devoted fans all around the world. While it mostly follows a unique driving force behind its story, there are a few films that draw parallels in tone or have similarly dystopian, child-killing storylines to push them forward....

The Super Mario Bros. franchise is a video game series near and dear to the hearts of just about anyone who has ever played a video game. At this point, he is the games’ industry equivalent to Mickey Mouse and needs no introduction. If you can name a job, Mario has already done it. In his 30+ years, Mario has rescued Princess Peach countless times, gone on a beach vacation, posed as doctor, and even traveled into space… twice!...

Comparing The First Order with millennial-friendly companies like Google or Pixar is no different than comparing apples with oranges. They’re not interested in nap pods or silent retreat getaways to reinforce emotional stability; they want to rule the galaxy. That’s essentially their entire M.O., and they’ve shown no sign of wiggle room. Will that land them on Forbes’ ‘Top 10 Most Exciting Companies to Work For’ list? The odds aren’t good....

When Superman Returns flew into cinemas back in 2006, it was the Man of Steel’s first big screen outing in nearly 20 years. A quasi-sequel to the earlier film franchise headlined by Christopher Reeve, Bryan Singer’s movie – which starred Brandon Routh in the lead role, alongside Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane and Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor – received broadly positive reviews, but underperformed at the box office. Many attributed this to the blockbuster’s two-and-a-half-hour runtime, coupled with its relatively small number of action sequences – none of which involved a superpowered brawl....

When your job is a joke, you’re broke and your love life is DOA, they’ll be there for you - or will they? How many times were the so-called friends in Friends the exact opposite of a friend? While no one can ever be a perfect friend, Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Joey, Monica, and Phoebe set the bar pretty low for what it means to be a decent buddy. Sure, they stuck by one another for the most part, but there are scenes where any sane person would have burned a bridge rather put up with their friend....

But what does any of this have to do with female Instagram influencers? Although Instagram’s gender gap is pretty much the same for users (56.4% women and 43.6% males in the USA), we generally picture women when we hear the words Instagram influencer. There may be hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of top influencers across industries like travel to retail. While factoring in the niche appropriate for your brand’s campaign is essential, it’s worth knowing the top Instagram influencers across the board....

No sugar-coating here: the DC extended universe is a disappointment, so far. Now, that critique is not without its limits. The creators over at DC are capable of turning the ship around. The writers and directors are beginning to come around to an alternative way to succeeding. It seems their films are no longer merely playing cookie cutter catch up to Marvel. The whole film wing of the corporation appears to be trending towards the reset button....

Cosplay isn’t always as simple as buying a Spidey outfit from your local party store and zipping it up on the drive over. Characters like Iron Man or the Hulk seem incomprehensible to recreate accurately, but you can bet that any superhero, no matter how complex, has been tackled by a crazy fan. For many, summer is a time to kick back and relax with a cool drink and the sand in your toes, but for hardcore comic book fans July is just around the corner and that means Comic Con is on its way....

Naruto told the story of a young ninja who wanted to be Hokage – the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village. Fans watched him grow from a 12-year-old who could barely control his abilities to an adult who helped win the Fourth Shinobi World War. Nearly two decades after Naruto graduated from the Academy and started his real training, his son now has the spotlight in Boruto. Boruto’s journey began much like Naruto’s....

There are currently more comic book and superhero television shows on the air (or streaming) than ever before. Take The CW’s Arrowverse for example, and the unprecedented television universe they have created, with four DC Comics shows all interconnected in one way or another (of course, we are talking about Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and now, Supergirl). DC also has a presence on Fox, with Gotham and Lucifer returning for their third and second seasons, respectively, as well as news that a Greg Berlanti-produced Black Lightning series may soon join the network....

Aussies’ love affair with cars is nothing new—they’ve always been eager to jump behind the wheel and go for a drive down one of the continent’s scenic routes. However, when the world shut down in 2020 and nobody could go anywhere for a while, how was the car market affected? Did those who were planning to buy a new vehicle postpone this significant purchase? To find our way to the answers to these questions, we scoped out the most recent Australian car sales statistics and gleaned some surprising insights about what car types and brands have been rolling into people’s garages lately....

There’s an old adage in photography that it’s about the photographer, not the camera. By phone standards, the iPhone camera is a decent one, but it’s not the most obvious choice for creative photography. The annual iPhone Photography Awards show just what can be achieved in the right hands. I’ve picked out my three favourites, above and below. Think you can do better? Post some links in the comments … All photos entered in the awards have to be straight from the iPhone – no manipulation with external software allowed – though you can use camera apps like Instagram....

Online advertising in Australia has a larger ads spend than TV, so it’s no wonder marketers have become analysts who use technology to target customers in real-time. What exactly is it about remarketing that makes it so popular? Let’s go through these remarketing statistics and see how efficient this technique is. Fascinating Facts A warm lead is 9/10 times easier to convince than a cold one. Retargeted customers are 70% more likely to convert....
