Charmed Reboot Poster Draws on the Power of Three

-

The CW has shared a poster for the upcoming reboot of Charmed, which will follow a new trio of magical sisters: Macy (Madeleine Mantock), Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery). The reboot was developed by Jennie Snyder Urman (Jane the Virgin), Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin (Selfie). The show was ordered to series at the beginning of the summer, following a pilot order in January, and is set to make its debut on The CW on Sunday nights, starting in October.

The first episode of Charmed was screened at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, where the main cast members also made their debut during a panel that promised to "honor [the original] while bringing a modern twist." The show's cast also includes Rupert Evans (The Man in the High Castle) as the sisters' whitelighter, Harry, who will offer them guidance as they try to come to grips with magic.

The reboot will follow a similar premise to the first series, with the three Vera sisters learning that they each have powerful magical gifts, which grow stronger when they are together. The show is unconnected to original, and none of the original actresses are expected to guest star. Check out the new poster for Charmed below.

The response to the news of the reboot has been mixed so far, with many fans regarding it with understandable skepticism. Holly Marie Combs, one of the stars of the original series, commented, "I will never understand what is fierce, funny, or feminist in creating a show that basically says the original actresses are too old to do a job they did 12 years ago." The original show debuted in 1998 and ran for 8 seasons, finally concluding in 2006.

The CW has four other new series coming this fall: sports drama All American, Vampire Diaries spinoff Legacies, a reboot of Roswell, and a police procedural called The Dark, about a blind woman who solves crimes with the help of her dog. Time will tell which of this series will manage to make it to a second season amid The CW's busy lineup of shows, but if Charmed succeeds in capturing the magic of the original, we could be seeing a lot more of the three sisters in the future.

There's Only One Blockbuster Video Left in the United States

-

The true end of an American institution draws closer, as after two closings in Alaska, only one Blockbuster Video remains in business in the U.S. It might seem like a lifetime ago to many, but before subscription streaming services like Netflix and Amazon dominated the home video rental market, the good old-fashioned video store was king. The biggest player in that industry up until its final gasps as a major force was Blockbuster Video, which employed over 58,000 people and operated over 4500 stores in the U.S. at the company's peak in 2004. Blockbuster Video was founded in 1985, naturally right around the beginning of movie rentals as a whole. The company dominated the 80s and 90s, and became culturally ubiquitous. Of course, it wasn't always widely known for good reasons. Things like lacking supplies of new releases, annoying late fees, and Blockbuster's tendency to put surrounding independent video stores out of business by undercutting their prices, all became inf

WARNING: The following article contains SPOILERS for Disenchantment . - Fans of Matt Groening's work will not be surprised to learn that Disenchantment - the new fantasy series Groening created for Netflix - contains a number of Easter eggs and references to his earlier work. The early seasons of The Simpsons   often made reference to Groening's comic strip Life In Hell , and the sci-fi comedy  Futurama   also paid tribute to Groening's past creations - even before an official crossover  was arranged between Springfield's favorite family and the employees of Planet Express. To that end, we've attempted to inventory all of the subtle nods and sight-gags in Disenchanted that pay tribute to the earlier animated series and comics - from familiar wigs to a potential shared universe.

Harry Potter: 20 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Voldemort

-

Tom Marvolo Riddle started out as an orphan at a muggle orphanage. He was convinced that he had a destiny greater than mundane obscurity. Then Albus Dumbledore arrived and told Riddle that he was a wizard. Riddle jumped at the chance to go to Hogwarts. However, he had already developed cruel and selfish tendencies - tendencies that he carefully worked to hide from the Hogwarts students and staff. He quietly expanded his knowledge, power, and influence until he reemerged many years later as Lord Voldemort. Voldemort spread such a reign of terror across Great Britain that the magical community as a whole feared to speak his name. They only referred to him as “You Know Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named.” Just when he was at the height of his power, Voldemort was defeated and banished after an encounter with an infant. Harry Potter became known as the Boy Who Lived. For the rest of his life, Voldemort was obsessed with regaining his power and destroying Harry Potter, the supposed chos
