It was the spring of 2001, right before the era of pop bands was about to die out. It was the last breath of a nieve culture before 9/11 would change America forever. Then, suddenly, Josie and the Pussycats, a movie based on the Archie comic, came out and completely bashed pop culture and told audiences that they were social pawns who would do whatever the media tells them to. Naturally, audiences and critics weren’t happy....
There are tons of terrible couples scattered throughout the history of television that we’ve all seen in the last decade. Ramsay Bolton and Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, for example, are a match made in hell. Jan Levinson and Michael Scott on The Office are another great example of a horrendous match. Walter White and Skyler White on Breaking Bad weren’t exactly going to be categorized as “couple goals”. And Betty Draper and Don Draper on Mad Men were just destined for disaster....
In most of the western world we define time as BC and AD (or BCE and CE if you want to take the religious factor out of it), but it seems fair to say that after the release of The Mandalorian we can adjust our calendars to BBY and ABY. Ironically this is how the Star Wars universe timeline is measured, an abbreviation for “before battle of Yavin” and “after battle of Yavin”, but in our case we mean “before baby Yoda” and “after baby Yoda”....
Total Recall is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most fascinating movies. The science-fiction action film is set in the future and centers around a mild-mannered man named Douglas Quaid, who is seeking to escape his normal life. When he signs up for a program that simulates an adventure in his mind, Quaid finds himself mixed up in a conspiracy taking place on the colonized society of Mars. The movie embraces the wildness and weirdness of the insane plot, creating a strange and fun adventure....
Once Upon A Time was a show full of magic, fairytale characters, incredible storytelling, and most importantly, true love. While they may have had ups and downs throughout the series’ seven-season run, they still created a world we were all lucky to be a part of each week. What happens behind the scenes of a television show can sometimes be even more interesting than the show itself, we have come to learn....
Is it possible to look back on our tweenhood years and not cringe? If you’ve watched Hulu’s new show Pen15, the answer is a resounding yes. The show is created by, and stars, Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle as their thirteen-year-old selves, while their peers are portrayed by real middle schoolers, and the results are just as hilarious and poignant as they are awkward. Pen15 captures universal adolescent moments like your first kiss, body issues, and… let’s just say, “self-satisfaction....
The threat of insecure deserialization has only recently been added to OWASP as a result of surveys with security researchers and increased reports of this attack vector being leveraged by hackers. Before we can understand what the attack is, we need to first look at how serialization within an application works, and how it ties in with insecure deserialization. What is serialization? Serialization is the process of turning an object into a data format or byte stream that can be restored at a later time....
In the groundbreaking first Avengers movie, Nick Fury brought Earth’s mightiest heroes together to battle Loki and the Chitauri. Then, in the inevitably disappointing second film, Age of Ultron, the team expanded as it faced a villain of its own creation (well, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner’s creation). But the third movie was perhaps the boldest, as it brought together characters from wildly different worlds like Black Panther, Doctor Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the pre-existing Avengers, for a completely different kind of movie....
As soon as comic book characters came to dominate the movies, it was only a matter of time before they spread to the small screen as well. For years now, all sorts of superhero TV shows have been released, focusing on big-name characters like Batman or Superman, or even smaller characters like Legion. However, much like the movies, there have been plenty of comic book TV shows that aren’t centered around actual superheroes....
Are You Afraid of the Dark? is a super spooky, live-action TV show that aired on Nickelodeon from 1990 through 1996, then from 1999 through 2000. For people that grew up in the 1990s, this series was probably both a source of entertainment as well as terror. The episodes had a pretty simple premise: friends, known as “The Midnight Society” come together to tell scary stories around the campfire. Each episode features a different story told by a member of The Midnight Society and tend to be pretty terrifying....
Sometimes, reality is much scarier than any horror movie. Around the world and throughout history, paranormal and supernatural occurrences have gone on without explanation. There is no doubt that people all over the world crave these stories, searching for some proof of something other than our material world. Look at the success of The Conjuring franchise, which prides itself on telling stories based on the true lives of Ed and Lorraine Warren....
Horror fans will be getting a big treat this year with The Grudge (2020) releasing. It’s a dream come true for any lovers of this classic, originally Japanese horror franchise called Ju-On, which has influenced the genre for years. Even if you’ve never seen a single movie, you may have recognized the face of the pale ghost with long black hair from other pop culture references. If it’s your first time going in to see a The Grudge movie, and you have no idea what to expect, there are a few helpful things we’re here to share with you from the past movies and the conception of the franchise in general....
In the many years since the first film in the franchise hit cinemas, Toy Story has become a cultural icon. A feel-good film, full of genuine humor and heart-warming moments, all pushed forward by an incredible ensemble cast consisting of everyone from Tom Hanks to Tim Allen. Now that Toy Story 4 has come and gone and there (probably) won’t be another Toy Story film added to the franchise, we’ve taken the time to make a list of things you’ll probably like if you enjoyed the series....
We all love That ‘70s Show, right? The concept was so much fun that they could have followed it through with other shows too, don’t you think? Well, studios had this same idea almost twenty years ago and failed - the show being That ‘80s Show. It was an attempt at cashing in on the tried-and-tested gimmick, but the series lacked the charm of the main show and petered out without much notice....
Last summer the company doubled it’s free OneDrive storage to 15 GB for free accounts. At the same time, if you were an Office 365 subscriber you were upped to 1 TB of space, and that was recently increased to 10 TB, and eventually will become unlimited storage. Update 2/19/2015: This offer was previously U.S. only, but today was announced that anyone in the world can get this free storage space....
When people think of ghosts, they don’t normally think of the most pleasant creatures. Over the course of the long history of television, viewers have gotten their fair share of scares from these spectral beings. But, for all the scares, there are still a good deal of ghosts who are actually quite cute, if not even a bit lovable. Granted, most of them come from animation and kid’s shows. But even still, there are tons of ghostly characters that have appeared over the years that we as audience members can’t help but love to death....
It can be easy to forget how incredible a thriller can be. Since a lot of filmmakers rely on the same tropes and conventions and forget that what’s not in the frame is as important as what is (at least, according to Martin Scorsese, who’s something of an authority on the subject), many thrillers end up disappointing. They technically fall into the thriller category, but they fail to actually thrill the audience....
Nowadays, there is a pretty good selection of free landing page creators which are actually pretty decent. While the majority of these landing page tools offer extra features as part of their paid plans, all these creators offer free plans that you can use to whip up a professional-looking landing page design at no extra cost and in virtually no time. Most of these landing page creators are easy to use with little to no learning curve....
A new supply-chain report says that LG will make mini-LED screens for the 5th-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro. It says that the new model — which is also expected to support 5G — will launch in the final quarter of this year “at the earliest.” It follows an earlier report that LG will this year end Samsung’s monopoly as sole supplier of OLED iPhone screens… As we’ve noted before, mini-LED shouldn’t be confused with microLED, which will be a completely new form of display technology, likely to be seen first in the Apple Watch....
While fans can thank both Gaiman and Terry Pratchett for some of the best lines of the show, many were added to add even more entertainment value. Luckily Prime subscribers can revisit these quotes as often as they like, but for everyone else, here are some of the best quotes from the book and show. “Funny If We Both Got It Wrong, Eh?” It’s the quote that started it all. When Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden and Crowley (Crawly at this point in the book) puts the entire situation into perspective: what if they both do right by their beliefs but wrong by their orders–that is to say, by angel and demon standards?...
