The first poster for the video game-inspired action-comedy Free Guy has been released, alongside a tongue-in-cheek video with the film’s core cast. The film was announced last year, with Ryan Reynolds signed on as the film’s lead. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Taika Waititi had also joined the project. Written by Matt Lieberman and directed by Shawn Levy, the film will also star Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, and Channing Tatum....

Friends 25th anniversary celebration won’t actually include the cast of Friends. The mega-hit sitcom about six friends struggling with life as twenty-somethings in New York City has gained such a following over the years that it’s easy to forget that the series is now 25 years old. Beginning in 1994 and finishing in 2004, Friends has managed to hang on and grow its fanbase - thanks to the likes of syndication and Netflix....

Jon Snow, the King in the North, the White Wolf, and Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch has long been a fan favorite on Game of Thrones. Of the diverse cast, he is perhaps the most stagnant character: he was always bound by honor and morality, he was always dark and brooding, and he was always a natural leader and an instinctive fighter. But, though these traits did not change, they largely became even more concentrated....

Game of Thrones season 7 finally saw dastardly schemer Lord Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish executed for his crimes against the Starks, but one fan theory suggests that he actually fakes his death using a Faceless Man. The penultimate season of HBO’s epic historical fantasy series ended with a massive finale that saw the Wall coming down thanks to an ice-dragon, Jon and Dany getting it on, Sam (and Bran) figuring out why Jon and Dany should definitely not be getting it on, Cersei being her usual devious self… and Petyr Baelish finally meeting his end....

Apple continues to face scrutiny over its iPhone slowdown tactic. After a handful of earlier lawsuits, the company is now being investigated by French consumer watchdog DGCCRF, part of the Economy Ministry, according to Reuters… The report, citing a judicial source, explains that the French prosecutor has launched a preliminary investigation into Apple. The probe is said to be over “alleged deception and planned obsolescence” of Apple products. The preliminary investigation could take months, and depending on its findings, could be handed to a judge for an even deeper investigation....

Joey Tribianni and Monica Geller share some of the show’s biggest differences. While Monica is obsessed with keeping everything neat and tight, Joey is fine with stains on the carpet and some messy areas around the apartment. Given their differences, Joey and Monica get along well and are there for each other when they need to be. While Joey and Monica have their moments together, the amount of scenes between the two of them alone lacks in comparison with the amount of time each of them spends with their other mutual friends....

Matt LeBlanc will always be linked to his time on Friends but the actor has had a career revival of sorts in recent years. LeBlanc portrayed the lovable goofball Joey Tribbiani for a decade on the NBC sitcom, which spanned 236 episodes. Before his time on Friends, the actor appeared in a handful of series including TV 101, Top of the Heap, Married… with Children, and Vinnie & Bobby. LeBlanc was then cast in the life-changing role of Joey in 1994....

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Friends TV show episodes will screen in theaters this fall. While the sitcom aired its final episode well over a decade ago, it has endured with audiences and led to a new generation of fans as well as waves of new merchandise. Premiering in September 1994, the simple premise of six young people growing up and falling in love turned into one of the most beloved and successful television shows of all time....

Cersei Lannister is one of the most iconic characters on Game of Thrones. Since season one, the character has gripped us with her political scheming, angered us with her selfish and cunning plans, and even made us sympathize with her as she lost her dignity in conflict with the Faith Militant. One particularly interesting element of Cersei is her choice of outfit. While this may appear to be a superfluous element of the production, her outfit often gives away certain plot points or acts as a mirror to how Cersei is feeling at that moment....

HBO has released a new batch of stills from Game of Thrones season 8, and they confirm that Winterfell is going to be very crowded come April. While the entire cast was featured in the photos released, the majority of them appeared to be at the Stark family home. Cersei clearly kept her word to herself and remained in Kings Landing, but virtually every other major character has made it to the wintry north to fight the army of the dead....

There’s no shortage of theories on what will happen in Game of Thrones season 8, so here’s some that could surprise viewers the most if they come true. HBO’s incredibly popular live-action adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s novels is in uncharted territory at this point. Creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss stayed mostly faithful to the source material for the first several seasons, but began to deviate from Martin’s vision and go beyond what he’s written more recently....

Amidst the comedy of errors and farce that made up the bulk of Frasier’s narrative, the search for love and the attempt to understand its complexities was central. As a character, Frasier always considered himself unlucky in matters of the heart. Despite being a psychiatrist and often giving listeners of his radio show advice about their romantic woes, he never seemed to be able to follow it himself. As the series chronicled his dating endeavors following his second divorce (from Lilith on Cheers), it also included the relationship mechanics of his unhappily married brother Niles, who pined for Daphne but had to develop the courage to pursue her....

At the start of the pandemic, language learning surged too. Many of the world’s top language learning apps and platforms reported huge gains in the number of users and downloads. Despite facing self-imposed or legally mandated restrictions on travel, the pandemic failed to squelch our wanderlust. If anything, quarantines and lockdowns only amplified our desire to travel. Most language learning apps take one of several approaches to help people learn....

setteB.IT noticed that French, Italian and Spanish iPhone owners can now take advantage of Apple’s Trade Up With Installments plan, where you use your existing phone as a down payment on a new one, paying off the balance in installments over two years. It’s effectively the iPhone Upgrade Program available in the U.S., but with lower monthly payments in exchange for handing over your old phone. For example, if you traded in an iPhone 5s in France for an iPhone 6s, you’d pay €27....

Game of Thrones might have been one of the best television shows ever in modern history (until the 8th season), but it was never without its faults. After all, it was also one of the most ambitious projects in television, meaning the pressure was enough to wrack some nerves and wrack it did; there have been plenty of story and plot oversights made by the showrunners. These come in the form of continuity errors which have greatly affected how the viewers processed the fantasy world’s rules and qualities....

As Game of Thrones enters its eighth and final season, the heroes and villains of the story are pretty well established. Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, along with the few remaining members and allies of the Stark family, are humanity’s last hope for survival against the looming threat of the Night King and his army of Wights. The only human antagonists of any significance are Cersei Lannister and Euron Greyjoy, who last season fooled Jon and Daenerys into thinking they would help defeat the Night King....

Legendary actor Max von Sydow took over the role as the Three-Eyed Raven from Struan Rodger in Game of Thrones season 6 - but what was the reason for the recast? The greenseer made only one direct appearance in season 4 before the character returned for an expanded arc two seasons later. After the Three-Eyed Raven was killed, Bran Stark took over as his successor. The Three-Eyed Raven was present in the first three seasons on Game of Thrones in the form of a bird....

Game of Thrones season 8 has proven to be the most controversial in the show’s history, but an excellent episode 5, titled “The Bells”, highlights how many of the divisive elements aren’t a result of anything that’s happening in the show now. Rather, fitting of a series where the sins of the past define the present, it’s all about mistakes made years ago. The ending was always going to be a big challenge for Game of Thrones....

Two Apple suppliers, Foxconn and Japan Display, have both reported disappointing financial results today. Weaker-than-expected demand from Apple was cited as one of the reasons … Reuters reports that Foxconn’s profits dropped dramatically, and were well below market expectations. Separately, the same source cites weaker demand from Apple as a reason for Japan Display continuing to lose money. Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, reported a net profit of T$19....
