Seinfeld was one of the most ground-breaking shows in television history. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David decided to take a chance and explore the comedy that exists within the more mundane aspects of life. Their talent for uncovering these everyday moments of hilarity helped grow the show into the classic it is today. Audiences were treated to nine wonderful seasons of the misadventures of Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer. Though some seasons highlighted the brilliance of the show better than others, each was a treat to get the see the “show about nothing” do its thing....

Apple has been facing accusations of anticompetitive practices as the U.S. House Judiciary Committee investigates the company for potential antitrust concerns mostly related to the App Store.

Sweeney said in an interview with Bloomberg that he tried to contact Apple several times about the App Store subscription model, but the company denied all requests....

Here are all the records Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movies broke, and which ones they still hold currently. Plans to translate J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth fantasy epic from the page to the screen had been afoot for the better part of the 20th century, with animated efforts failing to capture the grandeur and scale of the classic novels and a Beatles-fronted adaptation planned but never made. It wasn’t until Peter Jackson got his hands on the project that a serious attempt at making a live-action, cinematic retelling of Frodo’s journey began to look like a reality, albeit a hugely ambitious one....

It looks like Zack Snyder is getting stuck back into his work after taking a brief hiatus to deal with a personal tragedy that beset his family during production on Justice League. As the DC Extended Universe moves away from the Snyder house style and drops most of the interconnectivity of the movies, Snyder is setting his sights on a long-gestating project of his: Army of the Dead. It’s a zombie movie that Snyder is directing for Netflix and has gotten a lot of people excited....

Facebook dark mode has been one of the most frequent requests from app users, with the company promising it earlier this year, and it seems it is now in testing. As with many unannounced tests in social media apps, it was discovered by computer science student Jane Manchun Wong digging into the code. It was Wong who recently spotted a “snooze” feature in Twitter that allows users to temporarily silence notifications…...

Entourage was always designed as escapist entertainment, but it has aged poorly – and it continues to look worse as the #MeToo movement unfolds. The show stars Adrian Grenier as Vincent Chase, a fictional movie star from Queens who brings his childhood friends along with him to Los Angeles. Much of the show involves his exploits in Hollywood, both professional and personal, alongside his buddies and his agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven)....

Warner Bros. has released a few DC films since Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), including Wonder Woman 1984 and Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and here are all the DC movies coming up over the next few years. It’s been several years since Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn became the breakout character of the (unofficially named) DC Extended Universe. Her debut in 2016’s Suicide Squad left audiences wanting to see more of her and that finally happened in Birds of Prey and once again in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, both of which were a showcase for the character....

Disney princesses have been evolving in recent years. With Elsa’s powerful solidarity and Merida’s rebellious notions, the new wave of contemporary Disney princesses is teaching young girls about emotional dexterity. Gone are the days where Disney females play the role of damsel in distress in hopes that a charming, handsome prince will come to save them. Still, it’s hard to ignore the memories that previous princesses have brought Disney fans, and it’s not as if Disney has ruled out character romances altogether....

While movie fans were excited for the list of the 2020 Academy Awards nominees, many were disappointed to see that the Best Director category was lacking female representation yet again. This was particularly noteworthy being that 2019’s Little Women adaption received several awards, yet director Greta Gerwig was absent from her designated category. Though it was disappointing to see a female-free Best Director list, this snubbing isn’t unusual. In fact, between the Golden Globes and Academy Awards, only seven woman have ever received a Best Director nomination....

Ask any diehard Star Wars fan to rank every movie in the saga from worst to best and they’ll probably put the Disney movies bang at the bottom (with the exception of maybe Rogue One) and the original trilogy right at the top, with the prequels floating around somewhere in the middle. But most critics aren’t diehard Star Wars fans, and when they write reviews, they’re looking out for more than just whether or not their inner fanboy is satisfied, so the Rotten Tomatoes scores of some of these movies might surprise you....

The Starz original series Ash vs. Evil Dead may have gotten canceled in 2018 after three seasons, but the Evil Dead franchise isn’t done yet. Evil Dead premiered back in 1981, and after nearly 40 years, the property is still as popular as ever. In July 2019, Sam Raimi announced that he was exploring ideas for a new Evil Dead movie, which fans still don’t know a whole lot about....

The rise of Bane ended up tearing Batman and Gotham City down to their very foundations. But as Bruce Wayne now looks to rebuild both, the rest of his iconic villains are joining forces to finish the job. Well, technically, they joined forces years ago under total secrecy. Only now is their master plan finally being launched… and threatening to end Batman for good. Readers who expected James Tynion IV’s takeover in Batman #86 to be something of a fresh start were in for a surprise, as contract killers descended on Gotham City, and Catwoman recognized the past returning to bite her....

What if tomorrow, women all over the world began to fall asleep… and never wake up? And what if the men left behind were left to plan a new future… totally unaware of the world their wives, sisters, mothers, and daughters now inhabited? That post-apocalyptic premise already made Sleeping Beauties a best-seller, and is soon to be adapted into comic book form from IDW Publishing. The publisher made the announcement during SDCC 2019 that the novel, a collaboration between Stephen and Owen King, would be translated into a 10-part comic book epic from novelist Rio Youers (The Forgotten Girl) and artist Alison Sampson (Winnebago Graveyard)....
