Avengers: Endgame not only concluded the Infinity Saga that comprised the first 11 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it also laid the groundwork for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. After the controversial firing of James Gunn in summer 2018, Disney rehired the director to close out his colorful and irreverent Marvel space trilogy. Meanwhile, Joe and Anthony Russo’s Avengers: Endgame put many of the chess pieces in place for Gunn’s threequel....

One of the things we all love to hate about Facebook is the way that it thinks it knows better than we do which posts we want to see. Facebook uses unspecified algorithms to assign rankings to posts, boosting the visibility of those it thinks we want to see, and demoting those it thinks will interest us less. A new iOS Facebook app rolling out later today will for the first time allow us to choose for ourselves whose posts get bumped to the top of our feeds....

A legion of fans would love nothing more than for Hannibal season 4 to happen, and that includes Child’s Play’s resident killer doll Chucky. When a TV series revolving around author Thomas Harris’ iconic cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter was first announced, many fans were skeptical about its prospects. This skepticism increased tenfold when Hannibal was picked up by NBC. After all, how could a show on one of the big four broadcast networks possibly do Dr....

Here are the major story reveals that can be garnered from the new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker toys. Unsurprisingly, Disney has run another of their patented secretive marketing campaigns, keeping the juiciest details locked away until Star Wars 9 premieres in December. That’s not to say there haven’t been any shocks in advertising; Emperor Palpatine’s return in the initial teaser trailer caught many fans off-guard, and Rey wielding a red double-bladed lightsaber spawned a plethora of wild theories....

Facebook has announced that it is adding messaging to both Facebook and Instagram that encourages people to wear face masks to slow the spread of COVID-19.

At today’s F8 developer conference from Facebook, the company is focusing on privacy along with announcing some upcoming products like FaceTime competitors, a Tinder clone, and more. In a post on the platform today, Mark Zuckerberg noted: He notes that this is similar to clearing your cookies, cache and history, meaning that clearing your Facebook history will also force the platform to re-learn everything about you and your preferences. However, Zuckerberg says that this is the right move as it allows users to remove any data they don’t want from Facebook....

The White House and 35 US states have filed amicus briefs in support of the Epic Games antitrust appeal against Apple. All are essentially arguing that the original judge made a legal error in deciding how a key antitrust law applies to the Cupertino company … Background Epic Games sued Apple for not allowing it to use its own payment platform instead of in-app purchases through the App Store, with Apple taking a 30% cut....

Europe’s top court has declared that ebooks are ‘services’ rather than books, and that European countries are not allowed to give them the same favorable tax treatment as paper books. The reasoning, such as it is, is that ebooks cannot be used without a physical device, and ebooks are a service provided to those devices. Both France and Luxembourg have applied to ebooks the same reduced rate of VAT (sales tax) enjoyed by books made from crushed trees....

If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. Trailer Park Boys is one of the best comedy shows of our times, though it admittedly may not be for everyone. It has been made in mockumentary-style, meaning it’s a mock documentary that parodies current events and issues presented on the show. It is filled with pure Canadian-style humor and unpredictable but humorous subplots nonetheless. It is a character based show and follows the main events in the lives of the characters who are really a group of drunk, white, wasted Canadians....

Four out of Pixar’s last five movies have been sequels, so it’s refreshing to know that the animation studio famous for making adults cry will be bringing us not one, but two original stories next year. The first one, Onward, will star Chris Pratt and Tom Holland as elf brothers living in a suburban world occupied by mythical fantasy creatures who set out to find their long-lost father. The second one, Soul, sounds like a companion piece to Inside Out....

Ex Machina, the sci-fi comic book written by Brian K. Vaughan, is getting adapted into a movie titled The Great Machine. Beginning in 2004 and ending in 2010 with issue #50, Ex-Machina was published by DC Comics as part of its Wildstorm imprint.

2018 was quite the year. Thanos decimated half of the universe, The Royal Wedding was canceled (Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande), and Ma’am became America’s sweetheart overnight. There were also a bunch of major movies that came out during the year. We’re more than a few months out of 2018, but it’s always fun for people to go back and see if they were able to catch all of the films that were released during a single year....
