Disappointment

Every few years a film franchise is released and becomes a bonafide sensation. Twilight was definitely in that category, with countless fans becoming obsessed with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and debating whether or they were Team Jacob or Team Edward. The film franchise started with 2008’s Twilight, and the franchise's lone female director recently explained her big disappointment about the sequels. The first Twilight movie was helmed by Catherine Hardwicke, whose previous credits include the teen drama…

Intel Intel’s successor for its existing 13th-gen Raptor Lake desktop processors is expected to launch later this year, and as far as the rumors go, it’s not going to be a particularly exciting release.

The information comes from Twitter user…

It has been two years since fans were introduced to Captain Carter in Marvel Studios’ What If…? series before seeing her in live-action during Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022.

To recap, Captain Carter is revealed to be part of the Illuminati in Universe 838. She fights against a dream-walking Wanda Maximoff alongside her…

via Lucasfilm Armed with an estimated budget of $295 million – although reports have offered that it might actually be higher than that – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny needed to get off to a strong start at the box office to ensure that it didn’t continue Disney’s dismal run in theaters. While James Mangold’s swansong for the iconic archeologist did comfortably top the domestic charts with a $60 million debut, that was the very lowest end of projections for the franchise’s fifth and final installment.…

Photo via Warner Bros. The Flash has finally surpassed its $200 million budget, which makes it a bonafide money maker even though it crawled past the line in comparison to other superhero movies that have broken records on the first weekend. Its cameos might be one reason for that and fans are now wondering why recasting beloved characters can’t be done in other parts of the comic universe. Despite its bad press with the off-set behavior of the film’s star, Ezra Miller, fans are still lining up at the theaters…

Nvidia’s RTX 4060 is right around the corner, so it’s really no surprise that the first benchmarks are already starting to leak out. Today, two tests have been spotted, and they bode pretty well for the GPU. The RTX 3060, which is still a favorite among Nvidia users, might be around 20% slower than the upcoming Ada Lovelace model. Will the RTX 4060 become one of the best GPUs, or at least one of the most popular models in this generation? Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The benchmarks, first spotted by BenchLeaks, both…

For the second time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has looked for and failed to find a thick atmosphere on an exoplanet in on one of the most exciting planetary systems known. Astronomers report today that there is probably no tantalizing atmosphere on the planet TRAPPIST-1 c, just as they reported months ago for its neighbour TRAPPIST-1 b. There is still a chance that some of the five other planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system might have thick atmospheres containing geologically and biologically interesting…

Rick Witter, singer, songwriterChasing Rainbows was written on tour, which was unusual for us because we weren’t the kind of band who spent downtime on a tour bus writing new material. We much preferred to be out exploring a city. But we’d just done a big tour of Europe, had been away for weeks, and were feeling really homesick.We’d ended in Germany: it was the last show of the tour, about four in the afternoon, and it was pissing down with rain. Paul came up with the riff from nowhere, and immediately I started humming…

Image via Lucasfilm Disney hasn’t exactly tasted a rousing victory when it comes to the live-action remakes of its animated classics. Yes, the majority have them have done well at the box office, but they failed to woo the critics and didn’t manage to get unanimous approval from the audience. But evidently, the dollars they still churn is enough for Disney to hope that one of its divisive live-action remakes has all the potential of becoming their next Star Wars franchise.  In a chat with The New York Times,…
