A Quick Refresher: Flagship Features Every Point-Release That Mattered Device Compatibility and the End-of-Line Club iPadOS 17 is the swan-song release for any iPad running Apple’s A10 X or A9 chips. That means: If you own one of these, 17.7.8 is the newest—and likely last—update you’ll ever see. Apple has committed to security patches “for at least two years,” so expect periodic silent fixes but no feature additions. Newer iPads with A12, M1, or M4 silicon can—and probably should—move to iPadOS 18 for Apple Intelligence, Smart Script handwriting cleanup, the long-awaited Calculator app, and more....

So far, other than a fairly exciting trailer forZack Snyder’sJustice League, the still images released for the Warner Bros. superhero team-up movie have not revealed much at all. In fact, Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) all seem to be trapped within the same industrial complex glimpsed in each and every one of them. Today’s new image is more of the same, minus Aquaman, and still absent one Superman (Henry Cavill)....

Since its debut in 2014,Last Week Tonight with John Oliverhas drawn attention to a number of issues quietly hurting Americans, from predatory payday loans to disturbing trends in civil asset forfeiture. This week,John Oliverset his sights on a decidedly less quiet subject:Tucker Carlson. Oliver is quick to note that Carlson’s penchant for controversy is clearly trolling for attention, but then emphasizes that Carlson’s audience is already quite large. The Fox News showTucker Carlson Tonightaverages over 3 million viewers a night, so Oliver’s segment is more about understanding Carlson than it is about bringing him to wider attention....

If you’ve been desperate to get your hands on more of Marc Spector and company since Marvel’sMoon Knightended its run on Disney+, then look no further than Marvel Comics themselves, who have a hell of a Halloween spectacular lined up for the first of Khonshu.

A long time ago, like in the 1990s, the summer was traditionally Blockbuster Movie season. In part, that success was because air-conditioned movie theaters offered relief from the summer heat and in part because kids were off from school and could spend lots of money and time at the local theater. Now, however, big-budget movies can find box office purchase pretty much any time of year with the right marketing campaign and 24/7 streaming services like Netflix grant us access to nearly unlimited content any time we want it....

The Disaster Artistis one of my favorite films of the year. For those unfamiliar withJames Franco’s new movie, it follows the making ofTommy Wiseau’sThe Room, a cult classic that would earn the title of one of the best bad movies of all time. What makesThe Disaster Artistwork so well is that rather than playing like a fan film ofThe Room, the movie taps into friendship between Wiseau (James Franco) and Greg Sestero (Dave Franco) as well as Wiseau’s desire to be loved and respected....

Amongst stateside premieres ofBy the Sea,Concussion, andAdam McKay’sThe Big Short, the AFI Film Festival also made time for an hour-long talk between The Martian filmmakerRidley Scottand Variety’s chief critic,Scott Foundas, about Scott’s career thus far last night. And asIndiewire points out, amongst a variety of tidbits about his work as a major Hollywood director, including how he fell into the role of director forThe MartianafterDrew Goddarddropped out, Scott nonchalantly dropped the fact that his next film, the sequel toPrometheus, is no longer being calledAlien: Paradise Lost, but ratherAlien: Covenant, which he announced will start production in February 2016....
