A Turkish newspaper has claimed that missing Washington Post journalist and Saudi national Jamal Khashoggi was murdered while in the Saudi consulate in Instabul – and that the killing was recorded on the man’s Apple Watch. But the Apple Watch part of the claim seems unlikely … The Turkish government was initially reported to have both audio and video evidence of Khashoggi being interrogated, tortured and murdered inside the consulate, before his body was dismembered and removed....

The latest episode of Krypton took back the show’s biggest death by revealing that Lyta-Zod (Georgina Campbell) was replaced by a clone, and it’s one of the cheapest tricks Syfy has pulled yet. In the comic books, cloning has a long history as a common storytelling tactic used to bring back dead heroes and villains, but it’s not something that should be used on television. Lyta’s arc in the beginning of Krypton season 2 showed the character expressing an uncharacteristic lack of empathy for others and an increase in devotion to her son, General Zod (Colin Salmon)....

Joaquin Phoenix goes full Clown Prince of Crime in Phillips’ stylish crime drama, but it’s not enough to mask the sense of emptiness at Joker’s core. One would be forgiven for assuming Joker opened in theaters a month ago, judging by all the headlines it’s made in recent weeks. Todd Phillips’ DC comic book adaptation (which exists separate from the Justice League movies) was haled as a masterpiece following its Venice Film Festival premiere in August, which then led to a predictable backlash and an equally unsurprising backlash to that backlash....

How scary is Us, the new movie from Jordan Peele? The first big horror release of what promises to be a very scary 2019, Peele’s follow-up to Get Out has received some of the most unnerving trailers in years, and while the marketing has hidden a lot, they’re not misselling the movie at all. Us follows a family on holiday in Santa Cruz who fall foul of home invaders… that look exactly like them....

Close on the heels of Justice League is the hype for the immediate next DCEU film installment: Wonder Woman....

DC’s Justice League Dark team is in good hands with J.J. Abrams and his production company, Bad Robot, who have together produced movies from some massive franchises. It was recently reported that discussions were taking place regarding a deal that would put Bad Robot in charge of overseeing movies and TV shows related to DC’s Justice League Dark property.

Apple analyst KGI Ming-Chi Kuo today released a report indicating Apple will launch a new version of AirPods in the second half of 2018. The analyst does not go into much detail about what exactly will change in the next-generation model, however he notes that they will adopt a smaller quartz component. Apple has already announced a new AirPower inductive charging case for next year. It seems that Apple may also be lining up a small update to the earbuds, if KGI’s reporting proves accurate....

Josh married his wife Anna in 2008 which was documented on the family’s reality TV show, 19 Kids and Counting, and they just celebrated their 10-year anniversary together....

There are a number of similarities between the changes made to Justice League and those made to Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four, but the reasons behind them are entirely different. Zack Snyder stepped down from directing duties on Justice League in the aftermath of a family tragedy, with the film undergoing major reshoots in his absence. DC fans have spent the nearly two years since the theatrical release of Justice League tirelessly lobbying Warner Bros....

Kathleen Kennedy says that they can’t use the same approach that Kevin Feige implements in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Star Wars and Disney knows that. As the Skywalker saga nears its end the J.J. Abrams-written and directed Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, talk about how the lore will continue past the main episodes has been a favorite topic of conversation among longtime fans. But whatever lies in the future of the beloved franchise, Kennedy knows that they can’t expand horizontally as quickly as Marvel Studios does with their superhero universe....

In a new report from KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo, the usually accurate analyst estimates that global pre-orders for the Apple Watch will top 2.3 million units through May. A report earlier this week claimed that Apple Watch first day pre-orders were at almost 1 million units… Further breaking it down by specific model, Kuo estimates that the Sport model of the Apple Watch accounted for 85 percent of pre-orders, while the Apple Watch accounted for 15 percent, and the Edition less than 1 percent....

One of the most surprising breakout hits in the world of film in 2019, Rian Johnson’s masterful whodunit Knives Out has taken on a true life of its own. With a once rumored sequel now confirmed by Johnson, and with leading man Daniel Craig eager to return to the role of the detective Benoit Blanc, it seems like Knives Out 2 is all but a sure thing. Sequels are often a tricky thing to handle well, regardless of whether they were originally planned or not....

Warning! MILD SPOILERS for Jojo Rabbit ahead! Jojo Rabbit’s soundtrack features a mix of classical compositions, jazz numbers, and pop tunes - including a couple German versions of notable songs. Written and directed by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), Jojo Rabbit is what he describes as an “anti-hate satire”, using the outlandish idea of a kid with Adolf Hitler as an imaginary friend to expose the evils of fascism and bigotry....

Following the extensive 60 Minutes piece last December, Charlie Rose has shared yet another interview with Apple design head Jony Ive. In the 35 minute interview, Rose and Ive discuss the qualities that “make Apple Apple” and the role of design in the company’s identity. The interview starts by focusing on the qualities that Apple looks for in employees to create a culture driven around innovation and design, noting that the focus is never monetary, but rather entirely design and product:...

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’s Jenni “JWoww” Farley calls out Angelina Pivarnick for wanting a threesome with her boyfriend. While Angelina may have been extra flirty with JWoww’s man, it was obvious to fans that he made her feel uncomfortable and she was trying to compensate for it. When it comes to Farley and Pivarnick, their feud originally started on the last season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, when the Staten Island native posted a picture of JWoww captioning it as “Jersey Wh*re....

Up until recently, Apple accessory makers were unable to make Lightning cables with plugs as thin as Apple’s — they were required to use thicker plugs that sometimes had problems connecting to cases. At the 2015 CES, Just Mobile showed AluCable LED ($25), which uses newer Apple connectors to create the thinnest metal-jacketed Lightning cable yet, removing case compatibility issues while adding metallic style. Markedly improved over the prior AluCable at the same price, the new gold version matches the latest iPhone and iPad colors, as well....

Justice League’s never-before-seen image from the deleted scene with Wonder Woman learning about the history lesson makes its way online. Directed by Zack Snyder, the film went through a tumultuous production process, with lots of script rewrites and a last-minute director switch to former MCU filmmaker Joss Whedon. But even after it was released, Justice League remains a topic of conversation, primarily due to the ongoing Release the Snyder Cut movement that demands Warner Bros....
