For Apple, having regulatory approval and closing the transaction by the end of fiscal Q4 means it expects everything to be in order by the end of September....

Every time a new MCU movie comes out, dedicated fans sit through ten minutes of credits, eagerly awaiting the short teaser they will get for the next movie. It could be a cut-down version of a scene from another movie or new footage entirely, but it almost always stirs up a lot of debate and speculation among the fan base. Thor: The Dark World #2 - Jane in London It makes sense that the worst post-credits scene in the MCU would come from the worst movie in the MCU....

Here’s every Stephen King novel to feature the Juniper Hill psychiatric hospital. Stephen King burst onto the horror scene with his novel Carrie and quickly became a household name. It didn’t take long for Hollywood to come calling either, with the early 1980s featuring filmmakers like John Carpenter and David Cronenberg directing adaptations of books like Christine and The Dead Zone. Stanley Kubrick directed The Shining in 1980, which is hailed as a modern masterpiece by many but famously disliked by the author, both for its many deviations from his book and its cold tone....

Warning: This is a preview of a MATURE comic book The wait may have been long for his return to DC Comics, but the first issue of The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage did not disappoint. With writer Jeff Lemire and artists Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz joining forces for the DC Black Label adventure, it’s a spoil of riches.

For their next issue, MAD Magazine imagines what life was like behind the scenes of The Lion King. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film is a remake of the 1994 animated classic, re-imagining the story by using groundbreaking visual effects technology to bring the narrative to life. While it’s a fully CGI animated film, the new Lion King is designed to be as photorealistic as possible, with all of the animal characters resembling their real-life counterparts....

E.T the Extra-Terrestrial could have had a sequel, but Steven Spielberg ultimately decided not to move forward with it. The sci-fi classic E.T was released in 1982 and has been praised by critics ever since, who consider it one of the finest films of its generation as well as one of the best films ever made. At some point, E.T was the highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing Star Wars, but it was later overtaken by another Spielberg film, Jurassic Park, in 1993....

After a long battle with Italian regulators over how it advertises AppleCare warranty plans and fines for failing to properly inform consumers of a two-year warranty mandatory by European Union law, today Apple is yet again coming under pressure from authorities in the EU. A report via Dow Jones Business News claimed the EU’s Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding gave a speech today accusing Apple of continuing warranty practices that go against consumer laws in many EU states:...

Every director worth their salt has a trademark that tells audiences they’re watching one of their films. Wes Anderson has symmetrical framing, Martin Scorsese has long tracking shots, and Quentin Tarantino has too many trademarks to name (tales of revenge, close-ups of bare feet, 70s classics on the soundtrack etc.). M. Night Shyamalan’s trademark is a little more on-the-nose – he uses plot twists to tell his stories. Some are good, some are bad, and some are terrible....

We reported back in October on an iOS exploit that caused iPhones to repeatedly dial 911 without user intervention. It was said then that the volume of calls meant one 911 center was in ‘immediate danger’ of losing service, while two other centers had been at risk – but a full investigation has now concluded that the incident was much more serious than it appeared at the time. It was initially thought that a few hundred calls were generated in a short time, but investigators now believe that one tweeted link that activated the exploit was clicked on 117,502 times, each click triggering a 911 call....

Caution: Spoilers ahead for Supernatural season 15 Supernatural season 15 has its say on the controversial final season of Game of Thrones, and its somewhat of a backhanded compliment. Despite suggestions that Game of Thrones had lost its way since overtaking George R. R. Martin’s series of fantasy novels, there remained massive hype as the HBO series headed into its final season. Unfortunately, the verdict from fans was largely negative, with Game of Thrones season 8 accused of rushing its plots, making nonsensical character deviations, taking narrative dead ends and, in some episodes, just being too damn dark....

Which characters in the Breaking Bad world have the prestigious honor of featuring in both Better Call Saul and El Camino? Since Breaking Bad is generally considered one of the greatest television shows to ever grace the small screen, there was an element of understandable skepticism when the Better Call Saul spinoff was announced. With such a huge reputation to follow and a storied history of unsuccessful spinoffs looming over it, Better Call Saul had a mountain to climb, but the series quickly became every bit as gripping and intricately detailed as its predecessor....

Telling the story of a young Clark Kent (aka Superman), Smallville did an outstanding job of delivering entertaining and memorable standalone episodes, while at the same time giving viewers more complex season-long narratives. Like many television shows created in the early 2000s, the first few seasons of Smallville followed a conventional “monster of the week” formula, however, later seasons of the Superman prequel introduced over-reaching storylines, which would naturally conclude in an epic-scale season finale....

Already considered a modern classic, American Gods turned classic mythology on its head, while creating a postmodern fable all its own. Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Neil Gaiman spins an inventive yarn about ex-con Shadow Moon, a man caught between the coming war between the ancient gods (such the Norse and Christian deities) and contemporary gods (Media and Technology). Last year, Starz announced their forthcoming adaptation of the beloved book as a television series, with renowned creator/showrunner Bryan Fuller (Hannibal) and producer Michael Green (Smallville) bringing their own visual interpretation to the Gaiman’s tale....

The story of the Boy Wizard started in books, and those novels have sold millions of copies as well, making it one of the best crossover hits in cinema history....
