A Friends reunion is in development thanks to HBO Max, but it won’t be the type of reunion fans have been waiting for. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends premiered on NBC in 1994 and came to an end in 2004 after 10 seasons. Friends is considered as one of the best TV shows of all time, and is still very popular in big part thanks to Netflix, where the series has been available to stream for the past few years....

While her murder wasn’t shown onscreen, a deleted scene revealed who really killed Daenerys handmaiden Irri in Game Of Thrones season 2. Game Of Thrones is based on a series of fantasy books by George R.R. Martin, which were renowned for their great characters, rich mythology and shocking twists. The HBO adaptation debuted in 2011 and within a few years it had become one of the biggest shows on the planet....
Here’s why a messy rights lawsuit prevents Friday The 13th: The Game from receiving future updates. The original Friday The 13th was heavily inspired by the success of Halloween. John Carpenter’s 1978 slasher was made for a tiny budget and later became one of the most successful independent movies of all time. Friday The 13th director Sean S. Cunningham designed his movie around the formula pioneered by Halloween, featuring a group of camp counselors being picked off one by one by a mystery killer....
As Friends progressed and moved onto its later seasons - while still massively successful and beloved - the writing was at the end of a lot of criticism. Many fans felt that the characters were being reduced to stereotypes and losing their depth. The issues with the script are never more apparent than in the character arc of everyone’s favorite Italian-American soap opera star Joey Tribianni. Joey had always been a bit dimwitted, but as the seasons progressed, he stopped having any semblance of intelligence and just was written to be played as dumb as possible....
Following the story of Cook offering to give Jobs his liver, Cook is quoted as saying the Isaacson book did the late CEO a ‘disservice’. In very similar words to how Cue described the (unrelated) film about Jobs at SXSW, Cook says ‘The person I read about there is somebody I would never have wanted to work with over all this time’. Cook also recalls how Jobs would call up his mother on the pretense of finding Cook, but in reality just wanted to talk to his parents about convincing Cook to have more of a social life....

Daenerys from Game of Thrones was a fearsome ruler with a strong cause but lacked the foresight to ensure she didn’t become her father. As one of the protagonists (turned villains) of the show, Daenerys sought to do good with her selfless nature. But despite her positive characteristics, she made some regrettable mistakes along the way. Whether it’s letting her ego get the better of her or simply being selfish, Daenerys’s list of wrongdoings leads to her inevitable downfall in the season finale....

While the characters on Friends incredibly iconic, so are many of their outfits. Rachel’s hair might have inspired a generation of women, but throughout the show, each character ends up wearing some incredibly memorable pieces of clothing. Of course, with any good sitcom, not all of those outfits are iconic and memorable for the right reasons. Some of the outfits that are worn on the show are truly horrendous, some by design and others simply due to the era....

Google had previously showed how dramatically its search results could be affected, and warned that it may shut down the service in Europe … The EU Copyright Directive is well-intentioned, requiring tech giants to license the right to reproduce copyrighted material on their own websites. However, the legislation as originally proposed would have made it impossible for Google to display brief snippets and photos from news stories in its search results without paying the news sites....
When it was announced that not one but two shows based on the X-Men universe were coming to television, fans got excited. The shows, Hellfire and Legion, seemed like somewhat odd choices, but they promised to show off parts of the X-universe that hadn’t been touched on in the movies yet. Speaking to critics at the Television Critics Association’s 2016 winter press tour, FX president John Landgraf provided an update on Legion, which is set to air on FX....
While the majority of elements in the universe of Game of Thrones are merely fictional, there’s one that can be found in the real world: a bleeding tree. Game of Thrones introduced a rich and complex world that had a bit of everything: from family drama to politics and dragons, with a generous dose of magical creatures and other living things. In the Godswoods and other parts of Westeros were a species of deciduous trees called weirwoods, or heart tree for those in the center of a Godswood with a face carved on the trunk....
