With a little over a month to go until Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is released in theaters, Marvel has stepped up its marketing game, not just domestically but also internationally. Guardians of the Galaxy is already one of the MCU’s strangest properties to date, and the studio is really embracing the weirdness this time around. While promoting the first movie, executives’ biggest worry may have been just how they would make the film appeal to the masses....

This is why many people think that Hermione would be great in Ravenclaw, and she likely would have. While Ravenclaw might be all about learning, this doesn’t mean that everyone in the house has the same grades. There are different kinds of intelligence and many different kinds of knowledge in the world....

It was always going to be difficult for Warner Bros to cram in every little detail for the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie, which was released back in the summer of 2007. With JK Rowling’s book spanning a gargantuan 766 pages, it’s easily the biggest novel of the entire franchise, easily longer than the Goblet of Fire, Half-Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows entries. So, naturally, not every detail was going to make the movie....

There is also the issue of employee mindset: Some people may feel like you are putting pressure on them just to give you another reason to keep them at the same salary level.

When Microsoft released a free tech preview of the Photosynth.net service in November of 2006 following their acquisition of Seadragon technology, I was blown away. Back then, compelling panorama creation utilities were far and few between and required a lot of horsepower. These days, of course, breathtaking 360-degree images can be captured with ease on a smartphone. Still, the Photosynth service manages to impress me to this date with its speed, image and zoom quality and intuitiveness....

Lorelai’s mistakes typically affected her daughter, Rory, and her day-to-day life in a small town that loved gossip....

Update: It’s back! Google has just increased compatibility between its Google Glass wearable computer and iOS: the company has released its MyGlass companion app for the iPhone.

It had become pretty clear leading up to the film’s release date that 20th Century Fox’s Logan had emerged as one of the most anticipated blockbuster films set to hit theaters this year. Considering that 2017 boasts one of the most-packed lineups of tentpole films in recent memory, that was certainly saying something too.

Halle Bailey, Disney’s Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, recently spoke about the backlash that some people have voiced about her casting.
