Are young people watching less TV? It's a valid question to ask in today's society, given our technological capabilities and the rise of social media. A well-written article from MarketingCharts.com tried to answer that question and found that 18-24-year-olds watched about 2 hours and 20 minutes less TV per week back in 2012. So where are these young people choosing to spend their extra media watching time ...

Ubisoft shows off its latest "Watch Dogs" trailer, where main protagonist Aiden Pierce infiltrates a slavery ring using his special talents. Cyber warfare never looked so sweet, especially when carried out with extreme prejudice. Looks like someone has been watching the film "Taken" too much. This trailer is just the first bit of information to come out from E3 2013 so far. I wouldn't be surprise if Ubisoft ...

We all know what Whedon can do with a multi-million dollar budget, months of preparation, and some of the world's most popular actors and actresses. Though, very few people in this world can do wh ...

I awoke still sleepy-eyed when I checked my Twitter stream this morning. As I waded through the mire of information, a single tweet snapped me to attention. Welcome back, @danharmon! E Pluribus Anus! — Gillian Jacobs (@GillianJacobs) June 1, 2013 What? I knew that Dan Harmon was rumored to return to the show-runner position of Community, but nothing definitive has been confirmed by official sources. Apparen ...

I have really enjoyed the featurettes that the film industry has been putting out lately. Back in March, "Oblivion" gave us a behind-the-scenes look at a full-scale model of the bubbleship. Seeing Tom Cruise and Olga Kurylenko act and react to the motions of a hydraulic model of the cockpit really helped improve the visual quality of the movie.

Director Shimizu Takashi's live-action "Kiki's Delivery Service" was announced a month ago and principle photography for the film is just about ready to shoot. We still have to wait about a year for the film to come to theaters, but a recently released promotion photo gives us our first look at actress Fuka Koshiba in costume as Kiki.
