In 2016, DC expanded its own version of a shared cinematic universe that started three years ago with Man of Steel, releasing two highly anticipated movies: Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. Both films were met with a surprisingly passionate critical disfavor and a massive audience dispute. This reception concerned a lot of people, fans and the studio alike, and created a slight sense of doubt and uncertainty about the future of DC movies....

For decades, Hollywood movies have been telling us riveting stories all about unlikely heroes overcoming great odds to save people, the world, or even the universe. We’ve loved all of these stories and have had countless adventures following our heroes to the ends of the galaxy, but perhaps it may be time to change the tides of major motion pictures.

October is a month meant for binge-watching horror movies, and no sub-genre has proved as enduring and resonant as the slasher film. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, John Carpenter’s 1978 classic Halloween is the film most responsible for popularizing the filmmaking trend. Carpenter’s use of killer’s POV camerawork, minimalist synth score and promiscuous teens getting slaughtered by a masked knife-wielding maniac would inspire a slew of sequels as well as influence other iconic films, including Friday The 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Child’s Play, Candyman, Scream, and countless other knockoffs....

Remember those days when you were a kid and you’d sit down in front of the TV and watch whatever cartoon was on?

That’s why it’s always weird to take a look back at some of your favorite shows that you watched when you were a kid and realize just how strange they really were at the time....

The vast majority of video games that are bought and played are never finished. There are many reasons for this, such as a game becoming too difficult for the player or just taking too long to reach its conclusion. The fact that you can quickly watch any video game ending on YouTube has also removed a lot of the incentive to overcome a particularly tricky end boss. There are some video games that are actually impossible to complete, due to either serious glitches, a design oversight by the developers, or through issues with the hardware that it’s running on....

2020 will see the arrival of many movies, most of them sequels – but there are a lot of long overdue ones. The remakes, reboots, and sequels trend has been dominating the movie industry for a while now, with some of these being big hits and others not so much. Many of them weren’t well received when they were announced, but ended up being a pleasant surprise for viewers, and there are others that only marked the end of their franchises (a moment of silence for Terminator: Dark Fate)....

A couple of months prior to the DDoS attack on the Generalitat, the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) was forced to revert to pen, paper and chalkboards when it was hit by a ransomware attack. The connection to the network was reset at the end of December, with most email accounts having been recovered – and a double authentication system applied – which allowed virtual classes to resume. While most systems have since been restored, others aren’t expected to be fully functional until the end of January....

Yet, Marvel doesn’t hold the rights to every superhero– or their artifacts. This is why we’ve dug through DC Comics and movies, in conjunction with Marvel Comics and films....

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....
