A year ago, Daredevil was just another failed movie from the awkward pre-teen years of the cinematic superhero boom. After an unsuccessful outing starring Ben Affleck, Matt Murdock and the Man Without Fear looked destined to go the way of Elektra and Catwoman; forgotten after a mediocre (or just downright bad) film. But after the rights for the character reverted back to Marvel, Netflix swooped down from the rooftops and used their heightened senses to determine that what we all needed was a brutal, bloody, breathtaking, and bingeable version of Daredevil....

Method acting is not exactly a new technique of the stage and screen, as its origins can be traced back to the teachings of Konstantin Stanislavsky in the early 20th century. While the idea of completely embodying a character in order to bring about a truly honest performance isn’t a novel one, it’s certainly come into increased prominence in the last few decades. Some actors can take the technique a bit too far, however, pushing the limits of both themselves and those around them....

Steve Buscemi is an endlessly entertaining actor who is a joy to see whenever he appears on the screen. The acclaimed character actor has a unique presence and energy on screen that is impossible to ignore. He is completely compelling and fascinating no matter the role he is playing. Buscemi has the ability to he truly unsettling and laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes in the same roles. He tends to favor smaller projects but always seems to find interesting material that allows him to come off his remarkable talent....

Every decade has good and bad pop culture, and this becomes even clearer when you break it down by genre. When looking at the greatest TV shows from the 2010s, a lot of series that focus on the lives of teenagers come to mind. Sure, the ’90s are known for being the Golden Age Of High School Shows (okay, that might not be the official title…) since that’s when fans got gems like Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, and Beverly Hills, 90210....

Crisis on Infinite Earths is the Arrowverse’s next big crossover. Reportedly taking place over five hours and capping off the Arrow series, it will serve as a final act for much of the Arrowverse in the same way that Avengers: Endgame capped off the MCU. There have been numerous hints and teases to Crisis in each Arrowverse show, leading us to believe that it will have major consequences for our heroes....

The instant gratification of @-mentions, DMs and chatbots has influenced the trajectory of social messaging and customer care. The need for conversational commerce remains high as customers want to interact with brands in a way that feels natural (and efficient). Over 70% of customers expect a conversational care experience when they engage online with brands. According to the Sprout Social Index™, nearly 55% of brands use private/direct messaging for marketing purposes, showcasing the enormous opportunity that 1:1 communication provides....

The final Harry Potter film is a hectic maze of action and battle, with almost no plot at all. Sure, the entire series comes to a close and we get the whole Snape twist, but otherwise, it’s just a massive fight with our heroes getting some pretty lucky access to the Horcrux-killing weapons that reside in Hogwarts. Due to its fast pace, the film is littered with mistakes that shoot by so quickly that the filmmakers must have not been able to keep a lid on them....

There are numerous Avatar: The Last Airbender fan theories. Most of them involve Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Toph, the most powerful benders in their respective elements. Many center around romance and the will—they—won’t—they dynamic between the Avatar and Katara or Zuko and Katara. Sokka is often overlooked. Despite being an unquestioned fan favorite due to his dorky sense of humor and ability to get himself in trouble, he doesn’t have as many theories circulating around him....

Infolgedessen ist das Content-Marketing zu einer eigenen Branche geworden, die die Bemühungen der Vermarkter um den Verkauf ihrer Marken ergänzt und unterstützt. Laut dem Content Marketing Institute “besteht der Zweck des Content-Marketings darin, Kunden anzuziehen und zu binden, indem relevante und wertvolle Inhalte mit der Absicht, das Verbraucherverhalten zu ändern oder zu verbessern, konsequent erstellt und kuratiert werden. Es ist ein fortlaufender Prozess, der am besten in Ihre gesamte Marketingstrategie integriert ist und sich auf den Besitz von Medien und nicht auf deren Vermietung konzentriert....

From the sly and sinister Scar to the foul and fiendish Frollo, the house of mouse has no shortage of brilliant baddies. These guys can be magically malicious or creatively cruel but upon some recent review, some of these antagonists aren’t exactly in the wrong when it comes to their brand of wrong-doing. We’re not saying their methods are necessarily good, but we can’t say we don’t understand their reasons. It makes us wonder how many of Disney’s noble heroes were the ones in the wrong....

ColorCoral keyboard cleaning gel There’s a writer or gamer on your list, someone who uses their keyboard often but already has all the bells and whistles for their setup. What they don’t have is a way to keep it clean that doesn’t involve ripping all the keys off and spending 20 minutes of their time. ColorCoral’s gel expands between the keys, grabs dust, and gets thrown out. Clean and simple....

When The Walking Dead first premiered on AMC in 2010, the show quickly established its reputation for being a serious horror series. The first few seasons were packed with emotionally visceral moments and characters that felt genuinely human. As time went on, though, the quality for which so many originally loved this show started to dwindle. By season 6, many original elements of The Walking Dead had been all but erased....

35 years ago, Ridley Scott gave us a whole new way of looking at science fiction. The original Blade Runner depicted a dystopian future when most science fiction was more optimistic. The future was only scary in the 1980s if you were in outer space. Blade Runner seemed to combine all of our worst fears about the future, shoving a toxic Earth with a rancid climate and hyper-consumerist economy right in our faces....

You don’t have to be a Potterhead to know that wands play a HUGE role in the Harry Potter universe! Wandlore, which was introduced to the fandom by author J.K. Rowling, is an ancient, and complex branch of magic dealing with the history, abilities, and actions of wands. According to wand maker Ollivander, who studies wandlore extensively, wands are mysterious, magical tools that are complex and almost impossible to fully understand....

Not only are the Grey’s Anatomy writers exceptionally talented in the intriguing style that they write the series’ main characters, but they are also skilled at making the patients and passing guest stars very memorable. An important aspect of the series are the patients. Save a handful that receive multiple episode arcs, most patients come and go within one episode. Having such a short period of time to make these minor characters real and interesting enough so that the audience grows to care about their stories, is no easy task....

The first horror movies were based on mythology and folklore - cautionary tales designed to mold young minds into making wise choices. If they didn’t, they were sure to encounter a gruesome creature that would make them wish they’d learned the fable’s lesson. Over the decades since these stories have been interpreted with a visual medium, horror films have evolved, inventing their own mythology with creatures like Freddy Krueger and Pinhead....

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend really did the most. Not only was it one of the only musical shows on television, but it also turned the trope of the crazy ex-girlfriend on its head. Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom, also the co-creator), the titular character, leaves her high-powered lawyer job behind and moves to West Covina, California to follow her high school summer camp ex-boyfriend. Once there, she proceeds to insert herself into his life in a variety of unhealthy ways....

In the MCU, Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter didn’t always get their due. While they had a lot of moments together in The First Avenger, tragedy tore them apart when Steve had to put the Tesseract into the ice. While they end up with what might be considered a happy ending, albeit a controversial one, in Endgame, these two don’t get enough screen time together. Even so, it’s clear they have a lot of love and respect for each other, and they are a canon MCU ship that many people can get behind....

Thanos has dominated the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a number of years now. The formidable purple-faced villain, most recently seen in Avengers: End Game, has also been the focus of many cosplay costumes during that time. Thanos has several different looks, which vary from movie to movie. His comic book counterpart also has his own unique style. This list explores several different interpretations of everyone’s favorite finger snapper; from gender-bending creations to some unique interpretations and mashups....

Avengers: Endgame wrapped up an incredible decade’s worth of Marvel character arcs this year. While it closed chapters on some of the longest-standing heroes, the Russo brothers were able to tie up these stories with a nice little bow that many fans appreciated. The actors behind these characters have also shown immense gratitude in being a part of the films, especially in regards to Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. who bowed after their final acts in Endgame....
