The first footage from Joker has arrived from CinemaCon, and here’s what was shown. Even though Warner Bros. and DC Films are now experiencing success with their shared universe model, they will venture into uncharted territory later this year. Joker is not only a solo film for Batman’s arch-nemesis, but it’ll take place in a universe all its own. Directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck aka the Clown Prince of Crime, the movie has become one of the most anticipated films of the year....

Joker’s Oscar campaign includes pushes for best picture, director and actor. The controversial Todd Phillips film has had a lengthy road to its current box office glory, and with Oscar season starting to gear up, it remains a strong awards favorite for many. Having taken home its first award after a premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this past summer, Joker proved it wasn’t just another comic book movie. The film won the Italian festival’s Golden Lion – an award for best film which had previously gone to numerous other high profile films destined for Oscar glory, like Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma as well as Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water....

When Jordan Peele first announced that his directorial debut would be a horror film, audiences were confused. At the time, Peele was best known as a sketch comic who played characters ranging from an annoying girlfriend to a maniacal airline passenger prepared to combat “terries.” Of course, anyone who was skeptical about Peele’s ability to make a horror movie was quickly silenced by Get Out, which succeeded as both a masterpiece of the genre and a startling commentary on contemporary racial issues....

Less than an hour before Apple’s WWDC keynote kicks off, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared some news that the company would be keeping its paid online events free for creators through 2023. Notably, the platform is also going to start showing Apple’s fees as a line item for Facebook creators’ earnings with Zuckerberg using the opportunity to once again criticize the 30% App Store cut. Conveniently timed right before Apple’s WWDC starts today, Zuckerberg shared the news in a Facebook post (via The Verge)....

Justice League’s Snyder Cut has better-looking CGI than the version released in theaters. Much has been made about the Snyder Cut’s status in terms of VFX completion, yet when comparing the two cuts, it’s clear Zack Snyder’s version is visually far superior. It’s been well chronicled that the VFX of Justice League is not 100% done, but some of it is complete (or close to complete) and a number of screenshots of the film released by Zack Snyder on the social media platform Vero, outshine the garish and unpolished visuals of Joss Whedon’s theatrical cut....

Batman mans a parademon turret in a new clip from Justice League’s Black Suit Edition fan edit. By now it’s an open secret Justice League was something of a nightmare behind the scenes. The critical and fan response to Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice was very mixed, and the movie’s financial performance was disappointing to Warner Bros. Since the filmmaker jumped right from Batman V Superman to Justice League, there was very little time to assess the feedback, but both the studio and director insisted the next movie would be a lighter, more fun experience than its dour predecessor....

The iPad just got quite a bit better thanks to iPadOS 13.4, which added full support for trackpads. Now, attention has shifted to iPadOS 14, which is expected to be announced next month during Apple’s virtual Worldwide Developers Conference. What new features can we expect in iPadOS 14? I have a few suggestions… System-wide custom keyboard shortcuts I’ve been using my iPad Pro considerably more often recently thanks to the new Magic Keyboard, which has been a complete and total game-changer for my workflow....

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s “The Gang Get’s Quarantined” saw the Paddy’s Pub crew get a full dose of cabin fever. For such an unrelentingly dark sitcom that revolves around a pub full of selfish, vain and borderline evil creeps, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia has been delighting viewers for fourteen seasons and counting. The show debuted in 2005 and proved to be a cult hit, but scored poor ratings. It was only when Danny DeVito joined up for season 2 that the show started to take off....

It doesn’t cut it to simply say that Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest and most revered actors working today, because a lot of people are. Jack Nicholson is more than that; he’s one of the greatest and most revered actors to have been working for over half a century. He’s been a famed movie star since the 1960s when he took roles in a number of Roger Corman’s legendary B-movies....

As Jane the Virgin’s fifth and final season is entering its home stretch, we can’t help but be nostalgic. This Golden Globe-winning series has reeled us in over the last few years and captured our hearts. We’ve become enthralled in the lives of Jane and the Villanueva family. It’s hard not to. In fact, we’re really going to miss Alba’s go-to advice, Xo’s zest for life, and Rogelio’s exaggerated, dramatic spirit....

A Joker movie sequel, with Joaquin Phoenix returning as the Clown Prince of Crime, could happen according to director Todd Phillips. In the past few years, Warner Bros. and DC Films have largely focused on a franchise of movies set within one universe - kicked off with Man of Steel and continuing through the likes of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Aquaman. While that franchise, called the DC Extended Universe by fans, is continuing on, the studio is also releasing movies set in other universes, like Phillips’ Joker....

Following the introduction of the Apple Watch Series 4 yesterday at Steve Jobs Theater, Apple’s Chief Design Officer Jony Ive offered his thoughts on the future of wearable technology and what drives him and the entire design team to continue pushing the Apple Watch ahead. Ive seldom comments publicly on Apple’s design decisions, but has established his particular fondness for the Apple Watch several times before. Speaking to The Washington Post, Ive noted that the Apple Watch Series 4 “will be a more marked tipping point in understanding and adoption of the product,” and that “every bone in my body tells me this is very significant....

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell star in the Downhill trailer as Billie and Pete, a couple whose marriage hits a snag after Pete chooses to save himself (and his phone) instead of his loved ones when they’re nearly killed by an avalanche during a family ski vacation in the Alps. The upcoming comedy-drama is an english-language remake of the 2014 Swedish film Force Majeure and will make its worldwide premiere at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, ahead of its theatrical release in February....

Like all of his fellow heroes, Batman originally had a very different role in Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League. Snyder stepped down from the film in May 2017, in the aftermath of the tragic loss of his daughter, with the film undergoing extensive reshoots in his absence. Despite Warner Bros. steadfastly assuring fans that the reshoots were the normal pickups most major tentpole films undergo, the version of Justice League released into theaters proved to be a huge departure from Snyder’s vision....

While iPadOS 14 adds many of the same features as iOS 14, including new widgets and upgrades to Siri, it also includes a few other changes specific to the iPad. iPadOS 14 brings multi-window support to the Apple Music app, as well as Low Power Mode support for the first time. On the other hand, iPadOS 14 also misses out on one of the most useful iOS 14 changes. Multi-window support in Music Apple added multi-window support to the iPad with last year’s introduction of iPadOS 13....
