Disney has officially rehired James Gunn as the writer and director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but the movie likely won’t be ready to hit theaters until 2023. Gunn first joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2012 when he signed on to bring the first Guardians of the Galaxy film to life.

Indeed, with the release of this MacBook Pro, the butterfly keyboard is no more. Should you consider upgrading? Watch our hands-on video for the details.

Hangman might just be one of the weakest movies of Al Pacino’s career, but he’s still kind of great in it. Al Pacino is rightfully considered one of the greatest actors of his generation, which is easy to see why when looking through his filmography. In the 1970s alone he starred in The Panic In Needle Park, The Godfather 1 & 2, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon, and in the 1980s he would take on the lead in the remake of Scarface, with Tony Montana becoming one of his signature roles....

And because of Harry’s susceptibility to the conditions of being near a Dementor, he is taught how to conjure one himself. This spell acts as his aid numerous times throughout the seven-series novel and subsequent film chain....

It looks like the upcoming Ghostbusters from Jason Reitman is getting support from Melissa McCarthy, as the film prepares to start filming in a few months time. There’s been wildly mixed reactions from fans of the original films and the 2016 reboot since the project was officially announced earlier in 2019. Now, it looks like McCarthy is firmly planting her flag in the pro-Reitman Ghostbusters camp, which could help add legitimacy to the film....

Other European countries are in discussions about doing the same across the EU, but have not yet reached agreement on how best to proceed … The aim, say GAFA advocates, is to ensure that global tech giants pay their fair share of taxes on the European operations. Apple and the other companies have been accused of using tax avoidance techniques to funnel their profits off-shore. France wanted to see a GAFA tax introduced across the European Union, and has today received the backing of EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager, reports Reuters....

Columbia University’s American Assembly research center is out with a new survey (PDF) commissioned by Google on file sharing and copyright enforcement. The survey gathered public opinions to gain insight into how consumers get content and what their opinions are toward copyright enforcement, and the results chiefly indicated that Americans do not support the use of bandwidth throttling and disconnection as fair punishments for unauthorized file sharing. Interestingly, though, 41 percent of U....
