There’s an adage dating back to TV advertising in the 1970s: “If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.” And while Netflix and Disney+ advertising tiers will not quite be free, viewers will be able to subscribe to the services at discounted price points as long as they can tolerate a few ads.

The launches arrive as the digital ad industry is mid-evolution. Europe and California have passed data privacy laws. Apple has cracked down on the harvesting of user data on their products. Browsers, including Safari and Firefox, have barred the installation of third-party trackers that follow a user’s every move, with Google Chrome in 2024 following suit. Advertisers are searching for new options.

Third-party data, the information users indirectly give to companies by granting permission to track what they’re viewing across the internet (i.e.

Given that the shorts were not made specifically for an anthology, there are...

Much like last year, I’m hopping on board with 2016 release predictions right after the Oscars are over, and just so you know, I’ve been tinkering with these for a few weeks now. Will they turn out to be even remotely accurate? Who knows, but as we saw last year, I was right about a number of films ahead of time, so this is worth paying attention to. The movies are basically all unseen, but that won’t be the case for long. As such, consider this an early bit of pre awards season homework. Take a gander below! What you’ll see in this initial set of predictions is that I’ve...

Despite a Broadway season that saw a 6-percent dip in attendance, theater fans still have cause for celebration at this Sunday’s Tony Awards. There’s a contest heating up for Best Musical, pitting the “revolting” children of Matilda against the fabulous drag queens of Kinky Boots.

Up-and-coming actors largely make a name for themselves in Hollywood, based on their adaptability to successfully portray any challenging role they’re cast in. One such versatile actor is John Edward Lee, who garnered attention last year in a minor supporting role in ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2,’ the hit adventure fantasy adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s final novel in her popular ‘Twilight’ series. While appearing as the drunken English rocker in the movie, who’s ultimately killed by the vampire Garrett, played by Lee Pace, Lee further shows he’s willing to take on a diversity of roles. Coming off the successful run of ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2,’ Lee is [ Read More ]

A park policeman hears gunshots in the park and finds a dead marine. Tony (Michael Weatherly) is washing and drying his sock in the office. There, bet you didn't think he could also do his washing there, I mean after the countless number of shirt changes and deodorant refreshers, ha. Tony got his feet wet. Ducky (David McCallum) comments Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is working him too hard and he doesn't have time to do his laundry except in the office. Tony stepped in a puddle whilst texting Ziva.

Update: Here's a little overview that compares your nominations with the acdemy's nominations. I think except the guest stars (which are very tough to predict anyway) we did quite a good job :)

The Emmy nominations announcement is close (July 14th, 7/6c) and I think we've been through all important polls so I thought I'd do a little "recap" and show you your Emmy nominations. I'm sure most of you know that these are by no means relevant or even close to the official nominees but I hope you had some fun voting for your favorites. :)

The shows/actors are ordered by votes.

The four-month shoot in Dublin for the seven-episode fourth season of the previously cancelled British sci-fi series "Primeval" has just wrapped reports Den of Geek.

It was almost a year ago ITV announced the axing of the series after its third season due to production costs.
