Most of the time, when an actor gets fired from a movie, it is usually for the best. These are the times when our favorite movies might have ended up completely different had the studios opted to not go in a different direction at the last moment. Think Eric Stoltz in Back to the Future, Stuart Townsend as Aragon in Lord of the Rings, or Meghan Fox in Transformers. However, every once in a while a major movie star gets shown the door and the decision blows up in everyone’s face....

When it comes to making a superhero movie, even the smallest detail matters. Filmmakers responsible for producing superhero films take inspiration from elements of existing superhero culture to create mind blowing cinematic experiences. Sometimes, they even take the time to include easter eggs from other forms of superhero culture. The filmmaker’s ambition to create a thrilling experience, may sometimes lead them to inadvertently reveal spoilers during the starting moments of a superhero film that foreshadows events to come....

J’onn J’onzz, commonly known by his more menacing name, Martian Manhunter, has been a figure in the DC universe as far back as the 1950s. He made his first appearance in Detective Comics #225 and since then has fought alongside other famous DC powerhouses such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Still, despite his longevity, Martian Manhunter is relatively unknown to those unfamiliar with the DC Universe. Last year, the CBS (soon to be CW) series Supergirl delighted fans of Martian Manhunter by bringing him to live-action television....

Employee badges at Chicago’s Fulton Market District neighborhood 167 Green Street are now Apple Wallet compatible. Instead of having a physical badge, employees only need their iPhone or Apple Watch to access their destination. Sharry, a European PropTech company, and HID Global are responsible for the creation of this integration. The entire building is Apple Wallet compatible, allowing employees to unlock key card-protected spaces with their device. According to the press release, if the employee’s iPhone needs charged, they can still access the building for the next five hours with Power Reserve....

In a world where mad wizards have taken owls and bears and united them into one hilariously deadly beast, which adventurer expects the world to follow any rules? Dungeons & Dragons has had many decades, many editions, and many spin-offs like Pathfinder to accrue all manner of loveable quirks. Loveable, exploitable quirks. Players and DMs everywhere have added to this mix with homebrewed content often as unstable as an alchemist’s workshop....

Last year, the U.S. box office reached unprecedented heights, as 2015 saw a record $11.12 billion worth of domestic ticket sales. This feat, of course, was in no small part due to the long awaited continuation of the Luke Skywalker saga in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which grossed a stunning $652 million in 2015 (its final gross was a record $936 million). But 2016 has seen its share of massive hits as well, many of which are Disney films....

The issue is most noticeable on Mac with dynamic wallpapers. First introduced with macOS Mojave in 2018, dynamic wallpapers automatically change to match the time of day. It’s a great concept. Unfortunately, it’s one Apple hasn’t embraced. Including macOS Big Sur, which arrives this fall, Apple has released only four dynamic wallpapers. Yes, only four. Luckily, third-parties have stepped up to provide additional dynamic wallpapers. 24 Hour Wallpaper is one of my favorites....

While the idea of “romance” wasn’t explored with very much depth in the early days of the original Star Trek TV series– it was mostly Captain Kirk having a different flirtation in every episode with a female character who only seemed to exist for that purpose– genuine romances eventually became an important aspect of the sci-fi franchise that boldly went where no one had gone before. There are romances, whether officially announced or largely unrequited, that became among the most iconic things about the various Star Trek movies and shows....

It is no secret to long-time fans of professional wrestling that companies like WCW and the WWE had periods where they created some very strange, and often cartoonish characters for their superstars to portray. When looking back at gimmicks that lay in the wastelands of the WWE Network, there are garbagemen, giant chickens, Yetis, repo men, evil clowns, Vikings and Shockmasters. While these gimmicks could easily kill a man’s career, there were some wrestlers who worked through the gimmicks and ended up as WWE Superstars....

Although script kiddie is a derogatory term, script kiddies could also do harmful damage just like an average exploiter or attacker. We shouldn’t undermine DDoS / DoS attacks for example since it could take your business offline if there is no mitigation or protection. The purpose of this article is to add some spiced up humor about how some script kiddies act. As a security professional, do not follow this guide....

It seems as if every decade there’s at least one film that completely revolutionizes the horror genre. These films then begin a chain reaction that influences a bunch of similar format movies for many years to come. We saw it first perhaps with Jaws in the 1970s, which prompted a number of shark-related movies to come out. The slasher genre was the ‘It’ thing in the 1980s with Halloween, Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th furthering this popularity....

The finale of cult sitcom 3rd Rock From The Sun was suitably hilarious - and surprisingly emotional too. When the character of Frasier Crane first appeared on Cheers, he was only supposed to appear in about six episodes as Diane’s new love interest. The showrunners pictured John Lithgow (Dexter) in the role, but the actor was profoundly uninterested in appearing on a TV show. The role instead went to Kelsey Grammer, and Frasier proved so popular he became a regular character and was spun off into the highly successful Frasier once Cheers came to an end....

When J.K. Rowling finished writing the Harry Potter series, she didn’t intend to open it up to interpretation. It was a tightly-wound multi-narrative story with an ending that was more or less planned from the get-go. That said, while Harry Potter canon is respected by loyal fans, it’s not necessarily safe from occasional modding every now and then. Rowling’s series has been adapted, spun-off, and parodied, and it’s typically the most die-hard fans who use her fantastical universe as a backdrop for reimagined creations....

Roger Ebert is the most famous movie critic of all time. Back in the day, a movie would live or die based on what Mr. Ebert said. What made him such a good critic wasn’t his beautiful writing, hilarious way with words, or brutal honesty - it was that he always followed his own opinion. He was never afraid to go against the consensus on a movie. No, Ebert hated some beloved movies, and he loved some loathed ones....

One Tree Hill was an iconic show that ran for a whopping 9 seasons. It did a good job of epitomizing trends of the early 21st century – crop tops, web cams, and pop punk music – while at the same time continuing classic themes from dramas and soap operas since the beginning of television – sibling rivalry, betrayal, and extremely moody and troubled protagonists. One Tree Hill was one of those television shows that went on for way too long, but that we watched until the very end....

The Force Awakens - Poe’s Fate Along with the main heroes, the new Star Wars movie adds Rebel pilot Poe Dameron to the story… even though most of the cast believes him to be dead for most of the movie....

The Winter Soldier’s popularity proves any comics character can become a star if they’re written right. Bucky Barnes debuted at the end of 1940 (cover-dated 1941) as Captain America’s sidekick. He never had a solo series. When Marvel revived Captain America in Avengers #4, they made it clear Bucky was not coming back, ever — he was pushing up daisies, he’d joined the choir invisible, he was an ex-living person. None of that screams “superstar potential....

Grey’s Anatomy is one of the greatest success stories in modern television. Conceived by the show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes, as a feminist series with a diverse cast, Grey’s was originally a mid-season replacement for the mostly forgotten comedy-drama Boston Legal. ABC was surprised by the show’s popularity and it was kept on the air for the remainder of the season. Since then, the show has become a massive critical ratings phenomenon, not to mention a cultural juggernaut....
