Jason Momoa had to calm down fears about his recently departed beard this week, but he also confirmed that Aquaman 2’s story is set and ready to go. Although he previously shaved his beard off to raise awareness about the dangers of single-use plastic water bottles, the change won’t last too long since he’ll soon have to return to playing Arthur Curry thanks to the success of last year’s Aquaman....
Most people will know John Barrowman for his turn as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and Torchwood, as well as playing Malcolm Merlyn on The CW shows, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow. But Barrowman also has a strong musical theater pedigree, having started his career in London’s West End. To date, Barrowman has appeared in Anything Goes, The Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Sunset Boulevard, and Godspell, to name but a few....
Joss Whedon believes that Henry Cavill is the best actor to play Superman since the most iconic and popular Superman, Christopher Reeve. Reeve first played the Man of Steel in 1978’s Superman, which was directed by Richard Donner. Reeve’s portrayal combined with Donner’s direction helped define Superman for decades with Clark Kent/Superman becoming the starring role of Reeve’s career. Some of this is due to a tragic horse riding accident that left Reeve a quadriplegic shortly after his last Superman appearance....
A new test video reveals some Justice League concept footage of the Batmobile running over Parademons. It’s well known by now that Justice League was massively overhauled after Zack Snyder left the project and the resulting version of the movie was a critical and box office let down, spawning a massive campaign to release the Snyder Cut. Thanks to this impassioned demand, every bit of Justice League concept art and behind the scenes footage is meticulously examined by fans seeking to glimpse Snyder’s true original intent for the DCEU team-up movie....
TUAW notes that inside the USB device profiles of iOS 5 are profiles for two never before seen devices called “iPad3,1” and “iPad3,2.” Obviosuly Apple is going to be making more iPads in the future and devices often show up in these profiles many months before they are delivered. However, there was some speculation earlier this year that an enhanced iPad 2 or iPad 3 with a Retina display would be released in time for the holidays....
A new biopic titled “jOBS,” which stars Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, Matthew Modine as John Sculley, and other popular actors, will portray the early days of Apple and life of late co-founder Jobs. It is set come out sometime soon. While we already saw Ashton Kutcher in character, we now have a look at a couple other characters on set, including John Sculley and Bill Gates. Pacific Coast News snapped a few photographs of the actors filming inside Jobs’ childhood Los Altos home, and DailyMail grabbed the photos above and below....
You know you’re in trouble when people write an app with sole purpose of pinging your content network to tell users whether or not it’s up. Touche. Clearly Sony should have released such an app as part of their damage control process. It’s surprising that the idea for the PSN Status app took so long to dislodge. Image iTunes were busted and went down for a month… I assure you that Apple fans and haters would fall over each other creating a similar app within the first 24 hours of the incident....
Businessweek has a fun chart showing that Apple’s iPhone business alone would make it the 9th largest stock in the Dow Jones top 30 companies, ahead of such giants as Microsoft, Coca-Cola and McDonalds. It’s not a terribly surprising fact – the iPhone represents the bulk of Apple’s business, with its $88.4B sales greater than all of Apple’s other products and services combined ($81B), but it is quite a graphic illustration of the strength of that one product line....
Morgan Stanley is estimating that iPhone sales for Q3 (Apple’s fiscal Q4) will hit 34.5M, 28 percent higher than the 26.9M sold in the same quarter last year, reports Fortune. The estimate is 11 percent higher than the market consensus forecast of 31M handsets, though still below the 47M sales the same tracker forecasts for the Samsung Galaxy line. The reality, of course, depends on how consumers respond to both the new phones and iOS 7....
The obvious explanation for the screenshot above, taken on a current Retina iPod touch with the latest iOS 5 Beta, is that Apple messed up by leaving the ‘Cellular’ data option in the iPod software. However, with talk of a 3G iPod touch (or a merged iPhone!), it does look more tantalizing. Update: GPS toggle also found! After the break… Thanks Dan and Daniel! Rumor: Next iPod touch getting 3G data connectivity this Fall (9to5mac....
IT Chapter Two brought the Losers back to the big screen, along with a soundtrack that has something for every taste. Stephen King’s novel IT was famously adapted into a miniseries back in 1990 with Tim Curry as Pennywise, the Dancing Clown, and finally got a cinematic adaptation in 2017 thanks to director Andrés Muschietti. The first film, IT, covered the first half of the book, following the young Losers and their first encounter with IT in 1989....
The gang of Paddy’s Pub from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is filled with characters who are capable of pretty awful things. But the eldest of the group, Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) is by far the most disgusting of them all. Despite being a wealthy and successful businessman when he joins the gang, Frank soon embraces a dirty and depraved lifestyle, becoming worse with each new season. Those his antics are always hilarious, some of the things Frank does are so disturbing they can be hard to watch....
Dennis, Dee, Frank, Mac, and Charlie, better known by their self-appointed shorthand “the Gang," are famous for being the most morally reprehensible, terrible people on television. In every episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Gang (or, at the very least, one of its members) will do something absolutely abhorrent. More often than not, the characters will face no consequences for their actions and everything will go back to normal in time for the next episode....
According to Kevin Smith, the original ending for Joker has young Bruce Wayne being killed. The film is an origin story of the Gotham city villain in which Joaquin Phoenix plays the title character. Joker released to divided reviews from critics, although that didn’t stop it from becoming a box office juggernaut, passing $1 billion worldwide before the end of its run. In his own right, Smith is a prolific filmmaker who has been involved in all facets of production from writing to acting to directing....
While she’s appeared in a wide variety of feature films, even earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her efforts, Kaley Cuoco is arguably best known for the characters she’s played on television. Her breakout role was in the sitcom 8 Simple Rules, which led to her appearing on increasingly popular television shows and eventually getting a starring role on the now-famous sitcom The Big Bang Theory....
Speaking of the change-everything iPad as I seem to from time-to-time AT&T has some interesting wit and repartee for us — alleging there’s already over half a million iPads on its US 3G network — meanwhile the survey results are in and the iPad is (I can feel blushes in Cupertino) the highest-scoring product a leading consumer satisfaction index has ever tracked. AT&T chief executive Randall Stephenson told financial analysts at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia XIX Conference, “We have over half a million iPads connected to the network....

I don’t think I can remember an Apple move that provoked such strong, yet universal negative feedback from the press as the iPhone Firmware update 1.1.1 is receiving. While there are always Apple rabid fanboys that would cheer on Steve Jobs as he robbed a bank, the more objective press and readers around the world have all voiced their negative opinion of the iPhone lockdown move included with the 1....
Jacob Batalon wants to become the Hobgoblin in a future MCU Spider-Man movie. Batalon plays the character Ned Leeds, who first appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. He also had brief roles in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, before having a bigger role in Spidey’s second solo movie: Spider-Man: Far From Home. Hobgoblin first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #238 in 1983, but the character has yet to be adapted for the big screen....
Tidal owner Jay-Z released his hotly-anticipated new album ‘4:44’ a week ago on his streaming music service. The album launch was a hit, going platinum in five days, but it wasn’t as big a win for Tidal as it first seemed as the exclusivity window only lasted a week. Yesterday, Apple Music premiered the first music video from the album’s songs despite not offering the actual music. That inconsistency has now been resolved....
