When Borderlands 3 launches in September, it’ll have a suite of features aimed at improving its multiplayer and streaming experience, including asynchronous matchmaking and Twitch integration. Twitch was still young when Borderlands 2 launched in 2012, but developer Gearbox Software seems to be taking full advantage of the platform now. Borderlands 3 has gotten a lot of attention since it was announced, some of which its developer probably isn’t too happy about....

Black Canary of the Birds of Prey has some of the most confusing origin stories in comic book history. Even ignoring her upcoming movie debut in Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) Black Canary is probably the most frequently adapted of DC Comics’ heroines in live-action productions. Two versions of the character appeared in the short-lived Birds of Prey TV series; a teenage psychic named Dinah Lance and her sonic-scream possessing mother, Carolyn Lance....

The underwhelming box office performance of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) has sparked plenty of discussion about what led to the film’s financial struggles, though one particular element is likely to blame most of all for its woes. Such a financial fate was an unexpected turn of events for the newest entry in the DC Extended Universe given how well the film had been tracking at the box office prior to its release, the strong reviews Birds of Prey received, and the large box office haul of Suicide Squad, the last live-action film starring Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie)....

The first trailer for Blumhouse’s Black Christmas has arrived. Released in 1974 and directed by (of all people) A Christmas Story’s Bob Clark, the original Black Christmas revolved around a sorority whose members are stalked and murdered by a killer during the Christmas season, and is now regarded as one of the pioneering slasher films (one that influenced later hits like Halloween). It was remade by Final Destination cowriter Glen Morgan in 2006, but the project went through several rewrites and reshoots (at the behest of Dimension heads Bob and Harvey Weinstein), and was ultimately dismissed as a gory, yet bland rehash by many critics and horror buffs alike....

Update: Danny Boyle may direct Bond 25 later this year. It looks like the search for the director of James Bond 25 continues, as Danny Boyle just signed on for another project. While the last Bond movie Spectre was a hit, it received mostly lukewarm reviews from critics and fans. The movie also ended on a note suggesting it could be Daniel Craig’s swansong as the character, and the actor refused to commit to another movie for a long time....

As AMC’s popular Breaking Bad spin-off, Better Call Saul, gears up for Season 4, an up-and-coming new cast member has just been added to the ranks. Deadpool’s Stefan Kapicic will be joining the series in a recurring role.

For twelve years, The Big Bang Theory was one of, it not the most popular show on TV. But sometimes it’s lonely at the top. There have been countless in-depth articles and research about the show. Research calling out its blatant sexism, treatment of people in general, stereotypes, and the fact that show just isn’t funny. Comedy is a very subjective thing. Even though the world is changing and ideas of what is okay to say and okay to joke about change just about every day....

DC’s Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) has been given a new title for movie theater websites and ticket buying apps, putting a greater focus on Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, but what’s really happened with the name and how much has changed?

Marvel’s Black Panther has been going from strength to strength. It’s a remarkable box office success story, and one of the key reasons is a memorable villain - Michael B. Jordan’s Erik “Killmonger” Stevens. Killmonger is a powerful, charismatic antagonist; although he follows the Marvel “mirror-image” villain trope, he does so in an unusually deep way. As a result, many fans believe Killmonger is one of Marvel’s greatest villains to date....

Two weeks ago, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced he was stepping down from Apple’s board of directors due to competition between Apple TV+ and Disney+. In a new interview with CNBC today, Iger touched more on his decision to step down from Apple’s board, his relationship with Steve Jobs, and more. Iger initially detailed what ultimately drove him to become an Apple board member in the first place. He explained that Steve Jobs asked him to join the board before he died, but that because Jobs was on the Disney board at the time, Iger couldn’t be on the Apple board....

Better Call Saul season 5 is perfectly positioned to pay off Breaking Bad’s Lalo line. Bob Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman made an immediate impression on Breaking Bad viewers, becoming the de facto third lead alongside Bryan Cranston’s Walter White and Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman. Part of what made Saul such a compelling character was his playing an integral role in the criminal world while always feeling like a fish out of water alongside more hardened criminals....

Update at end: Mnuchin joins the chorus. Apple is reportedly preparing for a bizarre legal battle with the FBI over its demands for the Cupertino company to help it break into two iPhones used by the Pensacola Naval Air Station shooter. The company was previously prepared to fight the FBI in court over the same demand with the San Bernardino iPhones before the agency backed down… The New York Times reports that Cook is leading the company’s contingency plans....

Black Panther has wrapped principal photography. Following Chadwick Boseman’s show-stealing turn as T’Challa in last summer’s Captain America: Civil War, anticipation has been high for the character’s solo film.
