Some users are getting increasingly frustrated with the Apple TV app as they are paying money to buy or rent movies from the store, only to find that when they go to play the content, there is no sound at all. This appears to be happening across platforms where Apple offers the TV app, including on tvOS, smart TVs, and third-party streaming sticks like Roku. However, there are enough reports of this cropping up in our inboxes and on Twitter that we are pretty confident there is a systemic issue at play, not merely isolated incidents....

The Apple Watch Ultra features the largest display yet on an Apple Watch, but it uses the same display technology as on previous models. Now that the Apple Watch Ultra has been available for a few days, some users are noticing a so-called “jelly scrolling” effect on the display. Here’s why this is not actually surprising. Apple Watch Ultra jelly scrolling iPhoneSoft pointed out this “jelly scrolling” effect on the Apple Watch Ultra in a story on Wednesday....

As promised by director James Wan, the first trailer for Aquaman was released today at SDCC 2018. It offered viewers their first big-screen glimpse of DC’s world beneath the waves, with scenes even featuring the City of Atlantis itself. The character of Aquaman was created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger back in 1941, and in the comics he was actually one of the founding members of the Justice League. However, it was only last year when Aquaman made his way to the big screen inJustice League, ahead of his 2018 solo movie....

DC’s upcoming underwater epic Aquaman reportedly has a budget of $160 million. That puts it in line with other recent superhero films featuring lesser known heroes, and decidedly cheaper than some of DC’s other recent output. Aquaman tells the story of Arthur Curry (played by Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa) a man of two worlds. The son of a human fisherman and an Atlantean queen, Aquaman is the rightful ruler of Atlantis, but faces scrutiny from other Atlanteans due to his human genetics, and is generally met by violent political pushback....

UPDATE: Read everything revealed by the Aquaman set visit reports. There is one thing that the Aquaman movie might clear up for DC fans: Atlanteans are nearly as strong and invulnerable as the Man of Steel himself, Superman. In DC Comics, Atlanteans are a fictional race of sea people who live in the ancient underwater city of Atlantis. And they are some of the most ancient beings to reside on Earth, though their origins are alien....

[This is a review of Arrow season 4, episode 9. There will be SPOILERS.] - At this point in the 2015 television season, the idea that audiences must face yet another potential character death is exhausting, to say the least. It is made doubly so by the fact that answers to the question of Felicity’s survival will have to wait until next year. Sure, next year is just a few weeks away, but after a year in television where characters were stabbed by their oath-swearing brethren, turned into a human chafing dish for the undead’s mid-afternoon buffet, and sent to the underworld after downing a cup of poison, the latest character-related development on Arrow feels like a trend on the verge of overkill – and that’s not necessarily because Damien Darhk sent a squad of heavily armed goons after one mayoral candidate in a limousine....

The Arrowverse has revealed its first official look of Tyler Hoechlin as Superman together with Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane. Hoechlin’s appearances in the Arrowverse have been minimal. However, the actor who plays Superman and Clark Kent first appeared during Supergirl season 2 as the lead’s more famous cousin. Tulloch, on the other hand, will be making her Arrowverse debut alongside Hoechlin’s in the upcoming annual Arrowverse crossover, “Elseworlds.” Grimm alum Elizabeth Tulloch was announced to be the latest Lois Lane shortly before the various Arrowverse series began their seasons....

Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Infinity War - After months of endless debates about who’s going to live and die in Avengers: Infinity War, fans now know who’s gone and who’s left, and at the and of the day, Infinity War killed off all the right Avengers. While there are several individual deaths peppered throughout the movie, the biggest surprise seeing half the characters simultaneously wiped out following Thanos’“snap,” most of whom were second-generation MCU heroes....

Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent got an ’80s makeover in some Wonder Woman 1984 inspired fan-art. The Wonder Woman sequel isn’t planned to hit screens until 2019, but fans are already having fun envisioning how the DCEU’s stroll through the 80s could look, often with hilarious results. With Wonder Woman having taken place during World War I, that leaves a lot of downtime for the titled superhero between the period of her breakout film and the events of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice....

In just the second film in the DCEU, Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder made the decision to put the universe on a fast track by including every member of the Justice League in some capacity in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. This decision took the focus at certain points of the movie away from the superhero dual that audiences wanted, and instead had Lex Luthor be involved in revealing Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher)....

EA has decided to turn off all in-game purchases for Star Wars Battlefront II following massive backlash regarding the loot box system. The reversal was made last minute, just a day before the game rolls out worldwide. The initial excitement for Battlefront II after EA seemingly addressed glaring issues from its predecessor, including paid-for DLC segregation and lack of a story mode, immediately faded when fans who had early access got to explore the new game....

The makers of Ambien say racism is not a side effect after Roseanne Barr claimed the sleep drug was responsible for the Twitter rant that led to the cancellation of her show Roseanne. In March, Roseanne returned to ABC after a 20 year absence and was immediately embraced by audiences. Ratings were so huge that ABC raced to renew the revival for a second season. But that all came crashing down after star Roseanne Barr, whose tendency to say and do controversial things has always been well-known, went on a racist Twitter tirade in which she compared former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett to a character from Planet of the Apes....

Will Ferrell isn’t closing the door on Anchorman 3 just yet. The first Anchorman became an instant cult classic when Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and his band of imbeciles at a San Diego local news station won audiences over with their infectious stupidity and endlessly quotable dialogue. Anchorman 2 took a slight step back but still provided plenty of the same absurdity that made the original so memorable. Anchorman 2 earned over $170 million at the worldwide box office, proving that the franchise can still turn a big profit if Ferrell, McKay & Co....
