In an emailed statement, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) said it took the step “because Apple’s repeated violations of the National Labor Relations Act have made a free and fair election impossible....

Close your eyes and imagine the worst possible way for this season to end. Okay, now open your eyes and read the story of how Peter Weber chooses Victoria Fuller in The Bachelor finale despite sending her home a week ago.

When Batman V Superman was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, few fans would have predicted the sheer amount of controversial casting decisions that would follow. In spite of successful performances from Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Jesse Eisenberg in the past, fans flipped when Warner Bros. unveiled the casting of Batman, Wonder Woman, and Lex Luthor, respectively - and many remain unconvinced, to this day, that Snyder already doomed the DC Extended Universe before it ever got off the ground....

Warning: SPOILERS for Aquaman If you had told comic fans that the Aquaman movie would bring the monstrous Karathen to life, they might have believed you. But tell them it would be Mary Poppins voicing the creature in a secret cameo, and nobody would have bought it. Yet the Aquaman movie has arrived, making Julie Andrews the undisputed, and undeniably biggest character in the DC movie universe. The story of her casting is yet another attempt by director James Wan to flip expectations on their head: to give the biggest, baddest, most ancient kaiju in the DCEU not just a woman’s voice, but that of one of the most iconic English actresses alive today… even if most fans will never even notice the incredible cameo in their midst....
Thor Meets The Guardians “Who the hell are you guys?” The first Infinity War trailer closed with a disoriented Thor confronted by the Guardians of the Galaxy. Those at D23 or SDCC had already seen much more of this encounter, though. The footage opened with the Milano flying through space - through what seemed to be the remnant of a war zone. They encountered Thor in a typically humorous, offbeat manner, when his unconscious body slammed into the Milano’s windshield, causing Rocket to scream about using the wipers to “get it off....
