Table of Contents Table of Contents It is not the first time I’ve said this It needs guts This is how bad 8MP wide-angle cameras are Does it matter? Let’s make a New Year’s resolution, phone companies. We can do it together. You will stop putting disappointing and/or useless cameras on the back of your phones, and I will stop complaining about them. I’m specifically talking about 8-megapixel wide-angle cameras and 2MP macro/depth cameras, and it’s hardly believable that I’m having to say it as we enter 2025. It is not the first time I’ve said this This is not…

The Franchise has come to an end. HBO announced this weekend that it has chosen to cancel the satirical series following its eight-episode first season, which aired its final installment near the end of November. The comedy from creator Jon Brown and executive producers Armando Iannucci and Sam Mendes lampooned the real-life practices of Hollywood’s modern superhero moviemaking complex by charting the struggles of multiple crew members throughout the making of the latest entry in a sprawling, unwieldy comic book-inspired cinematic universe. “We’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the tremendously talented team behind The Franchise,…

Throughout his career to date, Colman Domingo has not been a performer known for transforming himself for roles. If you believe the actor’s recent interview with W Magazine, though, that all might be about to change as he takes on the role of Joe Jackson in frequent Denzel Washington collaborator Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael. In speaking with the magazine, Domingo said that he doesn’t “look like myself at all” in the film. He elaborated, explaining all of the prosthetics that were used to make him look like the Jackson family patriarch. “My skin is lighter because Joe…

Four directors helmed Warner Bros. Pictures’ eight Harry Potter movies. Home Alone director Chris Columbus directed the series’ first two installments, 2001’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and 2002’s Chamber of Secrets, while Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates tackled the six films that followed. Each brought their own sensibilities to the franchise, especially Cuarón, who is a well-respected name among both casual moviegoers and die-hard cinephiles. It turns out that he isn’t the only celebrated auteur that Warner Bros. met with to direct a Harry Potter film, either. In a recent interview with Variety, Se7en and The Social…

It seems Samsung is in no rush to rethink its foldable strategy, even if that means taking a backseat to innovation and letting the Chinese labels bear the burden of progressive experimentation. One of Samsung’s manufacturing partners has revealed in an interview that the next slate of foldable phones from Samsung may not offer much in terms of upgrades. Instead, enthusiasts will have to wait for the 2026 slate to see any notable changes. Talking to Korean news outlet The Elec, an executive at China’s FastPrint revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 series may not get much in terms…

Nosferatu star Lily-Rose Depp likely knows a thing or two about which movies traumatize an audience. Her central role in Robert Eggers’ latest film is unsettling, to say the least. Which is why it might come as a surprise to some that, in a recent interview with the U.K. version of Harper’s Bazaar., she said that one of her most traumatizing childhood watches was Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands, which stars her father, Johnny Depp, as its central character. “I was traumatized by it,” Depp explained. “Not because I thought he was scary, but because everyone was being so mean to him,…

Table of Contents Table of Contents Release speculation Xbox handheld rumors and news Price, hardware, and design Between the Switch 2, the Steam Deck, and even the PlayStation Portal, handheld gaming is bigger than ever. Despite having some amazing games on the Xbox Series X and S, console sales this generation have been lackluster at best. Xbox has made a lot of gambles to try to stay competitive, such as Game Pass and making the biggest acquisition in gaming history with Activision Blizzard, but the question still remains how it will manage to regain its foothold in the industry after…

Minecraft is a force of nature that nearly every single person over the age of 15 has either played or watched on YouTube, and its creator, Markus Persson (better known as Notch), said he has “basically announced” Minecraft 2, or at least a game in a similar vein. Shortly after the turn of the New Year, Notch posted a survey on X asking fans what type of game they would like to see him make next. The options were Minecraft 2 or a retro-inspired roguelike. Nearly a quarter of a million people voted, with the unsurprising majority asking for Minecraft 2.…
