There’s nothing quite like The Handmaid’s Tale when it comes to TV/streaming service shows. It’s a subversive venture into an alternate dystopian near future that’s all too familiar for the oppressed women of today. Of course, there’s no doubt that it’s also relevant on top of being an enjoyable and riveting series. Sadly, it’s going to be more or less a year from now before Hulu graces us with another season of The Handmaid’s Tales....

While most people fill out their experiences, bio, education, and other fields on their profiles, they often ignore the photos. Your profile photo and background images give the first impression of your personal brand and reputation. Ignoring them, especially the background image, is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Here are some great background images that you can use on your profile. 10 Great LinkedIn Background Images: 1....

The legendary BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who has been around for 50+ years, inspiring and delighting fans with the adventures of the time-traveling alien known simply as The Doctor, and his/her companions from across the galaxy. Fans of the show - typically known as Whovians - are passionate and dedicated; they write fanfiction, hold conventions and more. But even with this serious love, Whovians are always ready to make jokes about the series....

When Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938, he stood for truth, justice, and the American Way. From that early era to the present, he has become an indelible symbol of freedom for people all over the world, not just those that reside in the good ol’ US of A. From his blue uniform, to the red cape and “S” on his chest, he’s one of the most recognizable DC characters and one of the most beloved superheroes of all time....

Horror movie monsters have been responsible for providing us with some of the most harrowing moments in cinema. From inflicting terrifying jump scares and graphic violence, to creating exacerbating moments of permeating dread, they remind us time and again why it’s fun to get scared at the movies. Production companies like Universal Studios and Hammer Films were responsible for giving us some of our most recognizable monsters like The Wolfman and Dracula, but modern movie monsters like The Predator and Hannibal Lecter are still just as frightening....

The ancients used to say that “it’s better to be infamous than to be unknown.” In large part, those old sages were talking about conquerors, warlords, and revolutionaries - not arrogant chefs with inflated egos. Still, some of the most memorable contestants on Hell’s Kitchen are also some of the craziest, meanest, or dullest. On the flip side, there are also plenty of talented chefs who made history thanks to their skill and lovable personalities....

Sabrina Spellman’s Aunt Hilda from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is often overlooked and dismissed. Others see her as weak or too kind-hearted. Beneath that soft exterior, though, Hilda is a lot more complex — and a lot more interesting — than some fans might believe. While she’s kind, caring, and compassionate, Hilda can also more than hold her own as a witch. That combination makes her unique. Here are some reasons why Hilda should be given far more credit than she often gets....

At the heart of Game of Thrones are two prevailing themes, namely the battle for control of the Seven Kingdoms and the Army of the Dead’s southward march. What both of these themes have in common is their reliance on military forces for survival, whether that be in order to survive the onslaught of the White Walkers or to unseat the sly Queen Cersei from the Iron Throne. We have already seen some epic battles being fought across the continents of Westeros and Essos with a diverse range of armies in action, each with their own unique weapons and fighting styles....

Every well-known director announces way more projects than they end up seeing through. They’re constantly asked by the press what they’re working on and sometimes those ideas never materialize or the script gets passed around Hollywood and slowly fizzles into nothing, which is a real shame. Arguably, no director announces more movies that don’t materialize than Quentin Tarantino. This is a guy who carefully and meticulously chooses his projects, because if he goes in, he goes all in....

Apple’s upcoming redesigned 12-inch MacBook with a Retina display is expected to ship later than expected and new 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models have gone into production, according to a pair of reports from Taiwan’s Economic Daily News. The first report says that updates to both current MacBook Air sizes have entered production with Apple partner Quanta Computer, and that the new computers will boost Quanta’s 2014 notebook shipment numbers by 15%....

The Green Mile is just one of those movies that’s impossible to not love. This Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan led movie is yet another classic Stephen King adaptation that doesn’t at all seem like the kind of novel that Stephen King would write (but if we’re being honest it seems like a lot of his best work is the writing that doesn’t fall under his traditional horror umbrella)....

Alongside the smaller iPad, Apple will debut a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, according to a consistently reliable source at a high-profile U.S. retailer. This new 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina Display is said to pick up the thinner and lighter enclosure of the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display that was released in June. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro will be sold in two configurations, with differing processors and storage, and will be available for purchase soon after introduction....

Since Disney live-action remakes are all the rage right now, let us discuss the highs and lows of romance in Disney’s live-action films. From the time that the company released its first feature film in 1937, romance has been a major part of Walt Disney’s winning formula. Though Disney has always primarily been known as an animation studio, it has regularly been producing live-action films since the premiere of Treasure Island in 1950....

The Polar Express has been chugging along our Christmas watchlists since 2004 and though its motion-capture animation strikes us a bit strange nowadays, it still continues to be one of the most beloved films of the holiday season. For some, their Christmas isn’t complete until they’ve taken a ride with Tom Hanks to the North Pole. The movie has been watched and rewatched almost every Christmas since it premiered, but in spite of that fact, we’ve picked up a few interesting tidbits upon our latest viewing....

Movies based on TV shows are nothing new in Hollywood. Studios have been capitalizing on the success of long-running television series for decades. Some of the titles they produce are fun romps with familiar characters and others threaten to tarnish the legacy of what has come before. Hollywood hasn’t given up, however, as every year new feature films based on television programs are released, and spoiler alert, even more are on the way....

Long before 2016, superheroes have been duking it out against one another in the pages of Marvel and DC Comics. Given the brash personality of Tony Stark (not to mention his massive ego), it likely won’t surprise you that Iron Man has come to blows with his fellow heroes on many occasions. Just like with Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it’s often just a simple misunderstanding or based on a deeper moral issue....

Like many shows that get to eight seasons (or ten – and counting), Archer has managed to keep itself fresh by shaking up its formula. When the ‘60s espionage thing started to get stale, the show started doing season-long arcs that pay homage to classical film genres or pulp fiction magazines. They’ve done an exotic adventure season, they’re doing a retro-futuristic science fiction season set in the ‘50s’ idea of the ‘90s, and in season 8, they did a season-long film noir....

Before there was the CW, there was the WB. The WB focused its network on teen dramas and supernatural stories with a few sitcoms thrown in for good measure. The small network couldn’t compete with the big three of CBS, ABC, and NBC, but it sure tried. When the network shuttered in 2006, some of its programming combined with that of UPN’s to create the CW’s new lineup. While the WB is known for bringing iconic series like Dawson’s Creek and Charmed to television, it might be surprising to discover how many of those iconic shows don’t land in its top ten rated series....
