Superman Gets New Look Post-Convergence

Posted on March 13, 2015 by admin

Superman is looking very casual lately. Not only did he ditch the cape and tights, Supes is wearing jeans and T-shirt in the latest costume design. He also got his hair trimmed up and sports some stubble.

Some might remember not too long ago that Superman underwent a costume redesign in the Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr.’s Superman, so it is possible that both costumes will co-exist in some form. Its also entirely possible that Superman eventually goes back to the previous costume.

Also this week, Hitfix reveals a new Wonder Woman costume, which is just as dramatic a redesign, complete with a pair of retractable spikes in her gauntlets.

These costumes will debut in June as part of DC’s major post-Convergence relaunch.

Momoa as Aquaman: First Look

Warner Bros.

For some time now, we’ve known that the DC Trinity, Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman would appear together for the first time in next year’s cinematic event Batman V Superman. This week, Snyder all but confirmed that another top-tier DC character, Aquaman, will be joining them in the movie in 2015 by way of an official picture of the thespian in character. This is not a complete surprise as Momoa himself has showered the director with praises, while fan buzz and gossip has been circulating almost all throughout since the movie’s inception.

No one knows yet how large the role will play in the movie, but its becoming increasingly clear at this point that Aquaman will be sharing the screen with DC Trinity in some capacity.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be in theaters March 25, 2016. Aquaman will premiere on July 27, 2018.

Here’s a look at Momoa’s baddass Aquaman

Gene Hackman Is Retired But Still in Charge

By Steven Hyden

The Gene Hackman performance that sticks with me the most didn’t occur in one of his 79 films, but rather in a profile written by Roger Ebert for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1971. Hackman stopped in town on the way to a family reunion in Danville, Illinois, where the Hackman clan settled after wandering across four different states during Gene’s early childhood. Hackman later escaped the Midwest by talking his way into the Marines at 16, and after he was discharged four and a half years later, he wandered some more, living briefly in New York, Florida, back in Danville, then back to New York, and then back to the state where he was born, California, where he was enrolled at and swiftly dismissed from the Pasadena Playhouse. Then Hackman wandered more still, back again to New York and a string of odd jobs that propped up his acting ambitions.

Samsung is launching an insanely fast new version of the Galaxy Note 4 this week

Posted on January 20, 2015 by admin

By Zach Epstein

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 is the best phablet in the world right now. Period. It might not be quite as sleek as Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus and it certainly isn’t selling as fast, but as a phablet, it’s the best there is. The Note 4 isn’t just bigger for the sake of being bigger, which is arguably the case with Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus. Instead, the Galaxy Note 4 touts fantastic and unique software features that make great use of its giant display.

As terrific as Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 already is, however, people who own the phone are going to be a bit envious later this week when Samsung launches a new version of the Note 4 that’s even better than the original.

‘Gotham’ Ratings Surge For Fox On Multi-Platform Viewing

Posted on November 1, 2014 by admin

by Dominic Patten

The realities of the 21st century television landscape have served a story first set in the late 1930 very very well. A month after its premiere, Fox’s freshman Gotham has hit a total multi-platform audience of 22.2 million, according to the network. Not only is that a pretty impressive number for the WBTV produced world of Batman backstory but it is actually a 168% life over the Live + Same Day audience of 8.3 million that the series got for its 8 PM September 22 debut.

Those Live + SD numbers were Fox’s best fall drama debut in since 2000 and Gotham hit an 18-49 record for Live + 7 lift when those results came in. However, perhaps more telling of how audiences are really watching content nowadays is the fact that 5 million of that 22.2 million audience came from non-linear viewing.

Apple has removed all Bose products from its stores

Posted on October 18, 2014 by admin

A long retail relationship has turned sour

By Chris Welch

You can’t buy Bose products from Apple’s online store anymore. As spotted by 9to5Mac, headphones from Bose’s QuietComfort series and speakers including the SoundLink Mini and SoundLink III have completely vanished from Apple’s web storefront. A search for “Bose” now points you to refurbished Apple routers and other non-related items. Presumably Bose’s lineup will soon make an exit from retail stores, if products haven’t been pulled down from shelves already.
