It may only be halfway through its opening weekend, but Venom: The Last Dance is already falling short of its franchise’s standards at the box office. The new comic book film brings Tom Hardy’s big-screen adventures as Eddie Brock to an end and was, therefore, marketed as a zany and climactic final outing for the superhero genre’s quirkiest duo. Unfortunately, while certain elements of the film’s early trailers — like the Venom-ized horse that Eddie and his symbiote pal use at one point to travel a bit more quickly — went viral online, it doesn’t seem like moviegoers feel as compelled…

Netflix is starting to pick up the pace of its original movies again as 2024 winds down. The problem is that not all of them deserve to be counted among the very best. Netflix has always favored quantity over quality, and that’s exactly what it gets. Sometimes, the bad Netflix originals far outweigh the good ones. This month, Netflix did very well with It’s What’s Inside, a sci-fi thriller that goes to some dark places. Romance lovers may enjoy Lonely Planet, which offers a more dramatic take on the genre than Netflix normally uses. There’s a robust selection of titles…

Over the past few weeks, we’ve come across some interesting details about the next major build of Android. Currently in development under the apparent codename of “Baklava,” Android 16 will reportedly bring a cool new feature called Priority modes for notifications. If the latter sounds familiar, that’s because Apple already offers a bunch of focus modes towards the same goal, and then bolstered the system with AI-assisted priority notifications in iOS 18. It seems Google doesn’t want to be left behind, and in doing so, could very well lift from a popular iPhone trick. Android Authority reports that Android 16…

Enthusiasts expecting to one day put their hands on the steering wheel of a $25,000 Tesla EV may feel like they’ve been taken for a ride. CEO Elon Musk has just put a serious damper on those expectations, saying that outside of the driverless Robotaxi recently unveiled by Tesla, a regular $25,000 model would be “pointless” and “silly”. During a conference call with investors, Musk was asked to clarify whether such a model was in the works. “Basically, having a regular $25K model is pointless,” Musk said. “It would be silly. It would be completely at odds with what we…

Mark Millar’s limited series Wanted, loosely adapted in 2008 into an atrocious movie, imagined a dystopian world where all the superheroes are dead and the supervillains have won. That’s kind of how the multiplex feels right now. Comic-book cinema, which towered over the competition a mere five years ago (it reached its popular peak in 2019, the year of Avengers: Endgame and Joker), has entered a state of ongoing commercial decline. Capes and cowls are no longer a sure thing at the box office; increasingly, it feels like we’ve stepped into a post-superhero age. And in the absence of the virtuously…
