This Year’s Super Bowl Music Act Is A Safe, Expected Choice

As rumoured, Maroon 5 will perform at the halftime show of Super Bowl LIII, the band confirmed today. It was also announced that Travis Scott and Big Boi will be the supporting acts for the big game taking place in Atlanta, Georgia early next month.

This confirmation comes after reports that Jay-Z, Cardi B, and Rihanna said no to performing at the Super Bowl as a show of solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick made headlines when he kneeled during the National Anthem in protest of the racial inequality in the United States, and he hasn’t played professionally since 2017.

Scott told Billboard that he only agreed to performing at the Super Bowl if the football league agreed to make a donation to an organisation fighting for social justice. Scott himself donated $500,000 to Dream Corps.

Super Bowl LIII will be broadcast on CBS and and streamed on CBSSports.com on Sunday, February 3. CBS and GameSpot are sister companies.

Some of the biggest names in music and entertainment have performed at Super Bowl halftime shows over the years, including Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen just to name a few.

In other news, EA Sports typically releases a “Super Bowl” edition of the latest Madden game at a lower price and with some extras packed in, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

Aquaman Crosses $1 Billion At The Box Office, But It’s Not The Biggest DC Movie In The US

Aquaman is doing big business. The superhero movie has now passed $1 billion at the global box office, making it one of the most successful movies in the history of cinema. After yet another weekend atop the box office charts, it’s now made $1.02 billion worldwide.

Only 36 other movies have made $1 billion at the box office, according to Forbes.

Aquaman is now the second-biggest DC Comics movie ever, surpassing The Dark Knight ($1.004 billion). It’s still behind The Dark Knight Rises ($1.08 billion), however. As Entertainment Weekly reminds us, ticket prices have been rising over the years, which may inflate figures.

In the United States and Canada, Aquaman has pulled in $287 million, which is below the domestic box office hauls of Wonder Woman ($412.5 million), Suicide Squad ($325.1 million), and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($330.3 million). The film is performing far better internationally; it’s made $300 million in China alone. All told, the movie has pulled in $732 million from overseas markets.

Aquaman the fifth movie released in 2018 to pass $1 billion at the global office; the others were Avengers: Infinity War ($2.045 billion), Black Panther ($1.346 billion), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ($1.309 billion), and Incredibles 2 ($1.242 billion).

Director James Wan responded to the news of Aquaman passing $1 billion, thanking the cast and crew of the film for the incredible achievement. He also said Jason Momoa’s performance as Aquaman will help the character become the “gold standard for this character for generations to come.” You can read all of his tweets below.

A few things to say…
Firstly, this movie wouldn’t be what it is without the astonishing achievement of everyone involved, from the head of departments to every single crew member, who demanded upmost excellence in helping design and create this cinematic experience.

Secondly, I’ll forever be indebted to Jason for turning Aquaman into one of the coolest, cinematic superheroes ever, and becoming the gold standard for this character for generations to come.

Huge THANK YOU to my amazing cast — Amber, Patrick (my rabbit foot), Nicole, Yahya, Willem, Temuera, Dolph, Ludi, Michael — for breathing life and wonder into our beloved characters.

— James Wan (@creepypuppet) January 13, 2019

Finally, but most importantly — massive LOVE and THANK YOU to the fans and audiences around the world. Humbled by the way you’ve embraced Aquaman, and how it has resonated on a global scale.

You Season 1 Review

This is a (mostly) spoiler-free review of You, which originally aired on Lifetime, but is now available to stream on Netflix.

Here’s the thing you need to know right off the bat: You is divisive. And that’s a feature of its design, not a bug. The story of an obsessive Nice Guy murderer as he tries to will the object of his desire into loving him for the rest of their lives might rub a few folks the wrong way. You might feel the urge to yell, scream, gasp, laugh, and cringe while you’re watching it. You have to make people feel something uncomfortable about the expectations we as a society place upon romance and love in order to make them really think. And that is what You hopes to accomplish in its first season, now available to stream.

True Detective Star on Playing Multiple Versions of Same Character

The third season of HBO’s True Detective is set to premiere on Sunday, January 13, with an all-new cast featuring Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) and Stephen Dorff (Blade). Dorff and Ali play detectives trying to solve a missing-persons case involving two children in rural Arkansas. Series creator and executive producer Nic Pizzolatto wrote the eight-episode season, alongside Deadwood alum David Milch, who co-wrote episode 4.

Season 3’s narrative spans three decades, following the lives of detectives Wayne Hays (Ali) and Roland West (Dorff). In order to effectively show the passage of time from the 1980s to 2015, both Ali and Dorff had to undergo radical transformations with the help prosthetics. Ali spoke to IGN about his approach to portraying multiple versions of the same character.

Young Justice’s The Outsiders Explained

DC fans have plenty to look forward to in 2019. The new year kicked off with the long-awaited return of the animated series Young Justice, which is now exclusive to the DC Universe app. Not only that, but the new season is introducing a new super-team with a long history in the DCU – the Outsiders.

Who are the Outsiders, and what sets them apart from teams like the Teen Titans and Justice League? Here’s everything you need to know about this group and how they might play into the new season of Young Justice…

The Outsiders Explained: The Basics

Some missions are too dangerous or politically sensitive for the Justice League to handle. When Batman needs a team willing to get its hands dirty, he brings in the Outsiders. The Outsiders are heroes who exist in the shadows. Whether because of their powers or their use of extreme force, they don’t fit in with the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman. Despite this, they’ve saved the world many times over. That’s remained true no matter how many changes and new incarnations this team goes through.
