Deadpool 2 celebrated Canada Day by posting an image of Ryan Reynolds. In typical fashion for the franchise, it praises the star in a somewhat touching manner. Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian actor who has widely become known for his love of the comic-book anti-hero Deadpool. Over the past few years, his passion for the franchise has become obvious as the first film in the series was a project of his for over 11 years....

The explosion, fire, and oil spill, resulting from the blowout at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in 2010, is considered one of the largest accidental marine oil spills to date - and the worst man-made disaster in human history. As a result of the explosion, 11 workers lost their lives, while another 17 were injured. More than 200 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days, affecting the coastlines of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida and reportedly resulting in the deaths of more than 8,000 animals....

Disney has made some wise acquisitions in recent years, bringing such crowd-pleasing powerhouses as Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm into their fold. These investments have already paid massive dividends to the House of Mouse and the partnership hasn’t exactly hurt the acquirees. Disney seems to know not to meddle creatively with what works and nobody is better at marketing and distributing a film to maximize profits. This year has seen a number of high profile Disney releases, such as Captain America: Civil War ($1....

While it’s difficult to imagine any actor other than Jim Parsons playing The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper, one co-star was actually initially poised to play the role: Johnny Galecki, who portrayed Leonard Hofstadter in the CBS sitcom. Both actors were part of the show’s original cast, being the only characters who appeared in the scrapped pilot. As fans know, the intended premier episode was reshot, with the addition of Kaley Cuoco’s Penny, Simon Helberg’s Howard Wolowitz and Kunal Nayyar’s Rajesh Koothrappali....

Young Sheldon’s fall finale revealed the origins of Sheldon Cooper’s (Jim Parsons) “Bazinga” catchphrase from The Big Bang Theory. In an effort to link the two sitcoms together, CBS rolls outed a crossover episode that brought Iain Armitage (young Sheldon), Montana Jordan (young Georgie) and Lance Barber (George Sr.) to the present day of the long-running parent show (via VHS tapes). Despite initial skepticism from fans, the crossover was a real success, delivering one of The Big Bang Theory’s most emotional scenes of the final season....

Black Panther earned a Best Picture nomination at the 2019 Oscars, becoming the first superhero movie to be recognized in the category. The Academy has long had a fickle history with acclaimed genre pictures. While a few have broken through and cracked the major fields, many of them are relegated to the technical categories. Recent exceptions to this rule include Heath Ledger’s posthumous Best Supporting Actor win for The Dark Knight and Logan’s surprise nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay last year....

Surging up the charts alongside the movie of the same name, Bohemian Rhapsody has just been named the most-streamed song from the 20th century. Its movie counterpart - Bohemian Rhapsody - which made waves due to both its controversy and its unabated popularity - also now holds its own title, as the highest-grossing music biopic of all time. Despite the fanfare surrounding Bryan Singer’s Queen biopic focused mainly on the life of the band’s gregarious lead singer, there have been a plethora of critiques....

FOX renews Brooklyn Nine-Nine for season 5. The sitcom created by Dan Goor (Parks and Recreation) and Michael Schur (The Office) debuted in 2013, mixing the narrative setup of a police procedural with a workplace comedy, following the NYPD’s 99th Precinct in Brooklyn. The series follows the hijinks of the precinct’s top detectives - Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero), Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz), and Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) - plus commanding officers Sergeant Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews) and Captain Ray Holt (Andre Braugher)....

Captain Marvel actress Gemma Chan talks about the development of her character, Minn-Erva to become a full-fledged villain. A member of the elite Kree team known as the Starforce, Doctor Minerva is a known geneticist.

Celebrate Bill & Ted Day with this recently unearthed vintage promo! It’s quite strange to think that it’s been over 30 years since Keanu Reeves got his big break with the time-traveling, stoner buddy comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. What began as a light comedic romp has so far generated two sequels, with a third on its way next summer. While it’s impressive that Bill & Ted have been able to find enough of a following to grow into a franchise, the truth of the matter is that Reeves and co-star Alex Winter have managed to impart a genuine sense of virtue into the characters....

Christopher Lloyd would be for reprising his role as Doc Brown in a potential Back to the Future 4 should another sequel come into fruition. Although it’s been 28 years since Part III hit movie theaters, fan interest in the movies remain strong as ever, with the first installment continuing to be a popular choice for open-air cinema events and nostalgic screenings across North America and the UK, as well as constantly being referenced in modern day pop culture....

When Apple unveiled iPadOS 15, lots of iPad power users were disappointed that larger changes weren’t made. But one feature has become quite popular and that’s quick note. Quick note is the first applet that can freely float and resize over other full-fledged apps. Quick note is quite useful and fairly smart, letting users add links, rich data, and drawings. But what if this same UI paradigm was used for other tools?...

Another rumor suggests Sony’s Silver & Black will launch an all-female team in their Spider-less universe, but is that what is best? Before the days of Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and long before the company was a part of the Disney machine, Marvel sold the theatrical rights to various comic characters. These deals led to 20th Century Fox holding onto the X-Men and Fantastic Four or Universal getting Hulk....
