Hollywood magic can make our favorite actors seem immortal. No matter how many years pass after the release of a beloved film or television series, we look at the screen and see them there, young as ever, vital and vibrant. It’s easy to forget that actors are ordinary people behind the glitz and glamor. They are as vulnerable to the ravages of time and illness as the rest of us. While many actors struggled to persevere in the face of adversity and an illness that curtailed their ability to perform, many were forced into a brief hiatus in order to find the time to recover....

Decades have a peculiar way of crystallizing celebrities and confining them forever to a particular time and pop-cultural space. Harrison Ford has never left the public consciousness, but it’s hard to think of him without also thinking of the ’80s— the decade of Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and Blade Runner. While many of Hollywood’s brightest stars sustain careers that span decades, there’s no shortage of actors whose stardom only lasts a few years....

Based on James O’Barr’s comic book, 1994’s The Crow was a groundbreaking work of stylistic fantasy action. Simultaneously blending elements of the past while also pioneering a new style of movies for the future, Alex Proyas’ film won over critics and audiences alike with its unique blend of dark fantasy, horror, and action, pioneering a new style of revenge film. However, it’s impossible to talk about The Crow without discussing the freak on-set accident that struck down a rising star in his prime....

The last time we saw Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, he was vanishing into dust as he pleaded with Tony Stark not to let him go. It was a gut-wrenching moment in which we saw not a superhero, but a frightened kid who wasn’t sure about his fate. If fans hadn’t been convinced of Holland’s fittingness for the role of Spidey yet, that scene did it. Actually, the last time we saw Holland’s Spidey was in the recently released trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home, his second solo movie....

There’s already been a lot for movie buffs to talk about during the first four months of 2016 - the unexpectedly huge commercial success of Deadpool, Disney hitting it big by telling stories both new (Zootopia) and familiar (The Jungle Book), the passion behind both the love and hate for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and so on. It’s easy to forget that we haven’t even yet gotten to the summer movie season; a....

According to Kuo, Apple has been investing in more Mini-LED display suppliers as it plans to adopt the technology in more products. Apple’s first device with a Mini-LED display was the 12.9-inch iPad Pro introduced earlier this year. For those unfamiliar, Mini-LED relies on thousands of really small LEDs in the backlight, which results in higher contrast ratios and deeper blacks, similar to OLED. Since this technology is more expensive, Apple only adopted it in the 12....

Since their inception, the X-Men have served as an allegory about racism. Because mutants were despised and feared based on nothing more than their DNA, topics most commonly avoided in comics were woven into the very fabric of the book from the beginning. Early issues are most definitely a product of their time, but the X-Men would go on to push boundaries as Marvel’s most diverse group, especially following the team’s revamp in Giant-Size X-Men #1 and continuing to this very day....

Trying to scare movie-goers is a pretty thankless task these days. The horror genre has to work harder than ever to produce any kind of reaction from an audience who’ve seen it all before. Done properly, a skilled director can still leave us scarred for life with a well delivered shock. When done badly, they’re more likely to elicit an exasperated eye-roll or, much worse, laughter. But the scary scenes in non-horror movies are sometimes the most terrifying, precisely because they have no business being there and are completely unexpected....

Over the course of Smallville’s ten seasons, Tom Welling’s Clark Kent encountered a veritable “who’s who” of evildoers. Some of them had previously appeared in other comic book adaptations, while others made their live-action debuts on the show. Creatively speaking, some of them were very faithful adaptations of their comic book counterparts, while others were merely inspired by them. This list of ‘forgotten’ villains won’t include Michael Rosenbaum’s Lex Luthor, for obvious reasons....

Wonder Woman has long been considered the female superhero with little competition in popularity or in power. Through decades of her long-running comic book stories, she has dazzled and impressed, holding her own against the Justice League and the many foes they have encountered. Her reputation was only further established by the blockbuster hit Wonder Woman in 2017, in which Gal Gadot brought Diana Prince to life like she was born to play her....

We’ve collected the most interesting and up-to-date telecom industry statistics and facts to help you realize what this huge sector does for us every day. Let’s go!

There are many fascinating aspects to Captain Raymond Holt’s character on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Between his near robotic enjoyment of things and the clear-cut efficiency he runs the Nine-Nine with, one might think that Holt experiences no joy. But there’s so much more to the Captain than what one sees at first glance. He has genuine respect for his detectives and cares about all of them. He also has a scathing and dry wit....

The Vampire Diaries has no shortage of romantic relationships, but that doesn’t stop fans from inventing new ones. It seems there is no limit to the possible combinations of characters viewers want to see together. In some cases, the pairings make a lot of sense, and others require we use some imagination. Either way, fan art like drawings and edits help us envision what these relationships would look like if they really happened on the show....

The Dragon Ball franchise spans decades. There have been manga, anime, movies, and video games. The franchise has only increased in popularity, with the video game Dragon Ball FighterZ proving to be a huge success. The massive popularity of Dragon Ball Super has spawned a spin-off movie and an entire production studio. Yet, Dragon Ball Super quite often fails to make a whole lot of sense. Despite its obvious longevity, there are lots of flaws to this popular series, from awful anime art that only seems to have gotten worse over the years to the heroes’ occasional poor life choices....

Not a week goes by without the launch of at least one “Netflix Original.” Usually, it’s many more than that. Series, movies, documentaries, comedy specials, and even shows that aren’t actually Netflix-produced but licensed to the company in specific countries all fall under the “Netflix Original” banner. Where traditional TV stations are often wise to aim for quality over quantity, Netflix has the means to invest in such an immense quantity of programming that they can truly make something for everyone....

Even if we tried to be as objective as possible, and not create a list of our own favorite shows, one might think that some of these TV Shows should not belong on this list, or that others might deserve a spot. Nevertheless, these TV shows for geeks will be to your liking. And, just as always, use the comments section to suggest more. More than 30 of the best TV shows for geeks These TV shows have gathered thousands of fans and some of them have been around for as much as 50 years....

Pokémon Go made its mark as the absolute viral sensation of July 2016. At its height, this augmented reality mobile game doubled Nintendo’s stock, bringing millions of dollars daily. It quickly became the fastest mobile game to reach $500 million and despite declining numbers, Pokémon Go still reigns as one of both iOS’ and android’s top grossing titles. In order to reclaim some of its lost initial fanbase, Niantic and The Pokémon Company recently unveiled their first event, a Halloween-centric promotion, and to no one’s surprise, it was a great success....

The horror genre has been known to boast some of the bloodiest, vile movies known in cinema. Movies franchises like Saw, Hostel, and Nightmare on Elm Street push the buttons of the MPAA and taunt audiences with grotesque ideas involving guts and gore. We hate (and love) seeing depictions of realistic torture on the silver screen because it makes us squeamish and repulse in horror, yet we can’t get enough of it....

Not many sitcoms boast the level of success and influence that How I Met Your Mother achieved during the 10 years it aired. Among all the epic and sweet moments of friendship that the main gang provided fans with, their hilarious discussions gave birth to some incredibly famous pop culture references that are still used today. Endlessly fun and creative, the show is filled with catchphrases from the fantastic characters, like Barney Stinson’s phrase “Legen–wait for it–dary”, which helps to make How I Met Your Mother stand out from other shows....
