In 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy hints that Marvel was originally intending to do a comic-book-accurate version of Avengers: Infinity War. Marvel Studios has a reputation for playing the long game, but in truth their long-term plans were only really coming into shape after the release of The Avengers. Thanos was added in that famous post-credits scene at Joss Whedon’s request, simply because he’s a fan of the character, and Marvel quickly realized the idea had a lot of potential....

Anytime an up-and-comer fronts a Star Wars film, it’s a monumental undertaking, but Ehrenreich is in an even less enviable position than Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones before him....

Donald Glover, who plays Lando Calrissian in the young Han Solo spinoff movie, has wrapped his scenes. More so than previous Star Wars productions, the second anthology film has had quite a roller coaster journey to the big screen.

Fans of Google Stadia will soon have another exclusive title to play, as Lost Words: Beyond the Page has been announced as a timed one-year Stadia exclusive. Google’s Stadia streaming service has struggled to grow in popularity since its original release last year, and a lack of quality exclusive titles as well as an underwhelming games library has done little to entice new users to sign up. Having just opened up the Stadia service to more mobile devices, as well as the recent announcement that Rainbow Six Siege is also coming to Stadia, Google is clearly hoping to turn this trend around....

One of the scariest aspects of John Carpenter’s Halloween is the suggestion that the film’s events could happen in any typical American suburban town: in the franchise, that town is the fictional Haddonfield, Illinois. Haddonfield, Illinois is the perfect backdrop for Michael Myers and his silent reign of terror. It is a picturesque, sleepy autumnal town. Large Victorian homes line the streets along with impressive lawns and plenty of trees. It’s the ideal Midwestern town....

A few weeks ago we reviewed Aukey’s USB-C to HDMI Cable for the MacBook Pro. It worked, but since it featured HDMI 1.4, it only allowed for connecting to 4K displays at 30Hz max. While such an adapter works well for watching movies with lesser refresh rates, 30Hz is not the ideal refresh rate for working on a computer monitor. Such a refresh rate can often lead to headaches and eyestrain, not to mention the choppiness and laggy cursor movement....
