Free Year of Apple TV+ is Going to End Soon for the First Subscribers

A lot of people must have enjoyed the free one-year Apple TV+ subscription. However, it is time to start paying for the same as the deal is about to get over. For all those unfamiliar about what is being discussed, Apple announced a free one-year subscription for all those who purchase Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac for a limited time offer in 2019.

To subscribe with Apple TV+, you need to have an update of at least iOS 12.3 or later, tvOS 12.3 or later, and Mac Catalina. Without the required updates, you won’t be able to stream using the Apple TV+ service.

Everyone was surprised when Apple officially announced the cost Apple TV+ subscription, which is $4.99 per month. However, what was more surprising was the fact that it is coming up with a free subscription for a year for a few fortunate people.

The best part about using the new streaming service is to be able to share your Apple TV+ account with up to six family members without any additional payment. It enables you to create a separate ID and password for each member so that no one can disturb others streaming experience.

After introducing a new streaming platform, Apple did a great job in bringing series after series for the service. It was a sweet experience for a lot of people out there, but now the deal is finally coming to an end.

According to the reports, all the people who had signed up for the new Apple streaming service in November 2019, right after the streaming platform was launched will have to start paying by the end of October 2020. It also means that all the subscribers will see a deduction of $4.99 from their account by the beginning of the next month.

On the other hand, if you signed up for Apple TV+ a little later than November 2019, you’ve still got time to enjoy your free streaming experience. To keep a check on your free trial expiry, you can check the same in the Settings app under your Apple ID.

If you’re using your iPhone, go to the ‘Settings’ app and tap on your profile name on the top of the window. Next, click on the ‘Subscriptions’ tab to look for the next billing date. However, if you want to discontinue the service, go to the Apple TV option and hit the ‘Cancel Free Trial’ option. You need to note that once you cancel your subscription, it’ll end immediately. It also means that you won’t have the chance to stream for the rest of the free trial period.

Fortunately, there is an option for a favorable deal if you never want to cancel your Apple TV+ subscription. Apple allows you to take a subscription for an entire year, which is much cheaper than paying every month. The deal comes at $49.99 for a complete year. Sounds great, right?

Who doesn’t like getting their hands on some great deals? It has happened with almost everyone; when you ask for a Netflix account from your friends and they deny, you finally purchase it for yourself so that you don’t miss on some great shows. You’ll similarly have to start paying for Apple TV+, which is sad, but it comes at a great price, at least much cheaper than streaming platforms Netflix and Hotstar.

Ant-Man 3 Needs To Solve The First Two Movies’ Problems

 Ant-Man is a very famous superhero film series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is based on the Marvel comics. It was directed by Peyton Reed, and the first part of the film Ant-Man was released in 2015. The famous actor Paul Rudd played the role of Ant-Man/Scott Lang in the Ant-Man series. After the huge success of Ant-Man, Marvel decided to release a sequel to this film, Ant-Man and the Wasp, which was released in 2018.

The actress Evangeline Lilly has played the role of Hope van Dyne/Wasp. She was the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne. In the film, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott, and Hope worked together with Hank Pym to retrieve Hope’s mother and the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne from the quantum realm. Hope received her Wasp mantle and a similar suit from her mother Janet and became the new Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is planning for another sequel to the Ant-Man films, Ant-Man 3. The third part of the Ant-Man franchise could be a blockbuster only if the makers of the film consider the mistakes committed in the previous two parts and work on them to make the best film of the Ant-Man franchise. However, there is no confirmation yet for Ant-Man 3 but according to the critics and the director of the movie, Peyton Reed; there is a chance of making this movie, but for the best results, the mistakes from the previous parts of this film series should be fixed in Ant-Man 3.

Here are some of the mistakes that should not be repeated in the upcoming third part of the Ant-Man series.

Make Ant-Man Interesting, Not The Fact He’s In The Marvel World

According to the last two movies of the Ant-Man series, the makers of the film have focused on the fact that these two movies are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the fight between Scott Lang/Ant-Man and Falcon was highly liked by the people, but still, people were interested in watching this series just to consider it as the base-story for Avengers: Endgame. Marvel should not repeat this mistake and emphasize more on Ant-Man rather than showing him as part of the MCU.

After the events shown in the film Ant-Man & the Wasp and Avengers: Endgame, it has become very easy for Marvel to make a story genuinely depicting Ant-Man and his legacy.

Use The Tech Properly, Not Just Trailer Shot

Ant-Man is capable of changing his size, and that is a great superpower, but, the makers of the film were not able to depict this properly and efficiently. People thought that the size-changing scenes shown in the trailer are just one or two scenes out of several other scenes in the movie. However, the movie also possessed the only scenes which have already shown in the trailer.

Marvel can make the size-changing technique of Hope Van Dyne, and Hank Pym is a tutorial guide and should also think in the same way as Ant-Man. Hope Van Dyne has changed her size while fighting with Sonny Burch’s goons. She managed to change her size to dodge blade and for other combat reasons. On the other hand, Hank Pym used size-changing everyday objects to make his laboratory, which was responsible for the change in the size of the laboratory. Marvel can use these concepts and can work better to make Ant-Man 3, the best movie.

Ant-Man 3 Needs To Explore The Quantum Realm

The Quantum Realm can be accessed by Pym Particles. Quantum Realm can be considered a convenient device to allow time travel in the film, Avengers: Endgame. According to the comics, there are two planes of reality for the Quantum Realm. First, the Microverse, and the other one is Limbo. It’s time for the Ant-Man makers to learn from the mistakes and do not repeat it in the upcoming movie, Ant-Man 3.

After discussing all the missing factors and mistakes from the first two movies of the Ant-Man series, we hope that these mistakes will not get repeated in the upcoming third part Ant-Man 3.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S: All Things Funny From the First Episode

 F.R.I.E.N.D.S is one of the most utterly adored shows of all time. It is a classic comedy sitcom featuring the trials and ordeals and all things funny and romantic between six friends in New York City.

Surely, most of you have had that moment when you bond with a stranger over F.R.I.E.N.D.S. So, here we are, bringing you those little details from the very first episode “The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate (Pilot).”

Joey’s Bowl Cut

One definite change from the first episode that fans might quickly forget is the difference in Joey’s haircut.

Do you remember that funny “bowl cut?” We are quite sure if they hadn’t changed that look immediately in the second episode, Joey would have lost all his notorious charm.

 It’s a small thing, but that circular, mushroom-shaped hair around the head, is certainly not Joey’s best look.

Phoebe’s First Song

You probably remember Phoebe’s “Smelly Cat” song, but do you remember her very first “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens?” The song that she sings to calm down Rachel, who had just fled from her wedding. 

Well, this is where Phoebe makes herself known for singing just about anything that is going on around her. And this unusual quirk of hers originates from the premiere of the show which Phoebe gets used to.

The Ring In The Lasagna

 Monica is meticulously preparing the apartment for the visit of her nagging parents that is when Rachel realizes she has lost the wedding ring that she is meant to return to Barry, her almost-husband she left at the altar.

Soon, Rachel realizes that she has lost her ring in Monica’s freshly made lasagna. The fright on Monica’s face when Joey and Chandler mutilate the divine lasagna to dig the ring is one worth laughing hard on to.

Paul The Wine Guy

Paul becomes known to the friends as “Paul the wine guy”, as he delivers wine to the restaurant Monica works at. He is also Monica’s first of many comic lovers on the show.

Rachel Cuts Her Credit Cards

Freshly trying to live on her own, Rachel brings an expensive pair of boots rather than an offer letter from a company.

When friends find out that Rachel is using her father’s credit cards, they encourage her to be independent.

Friends lay out all the cards on the table, and Rachel snips each in half with scissors, stepping into a new life of self-sufficiency.

Monica Smashes The Watch

When Monica and Paul went out on a date, Paul told her that he smashed his wife’s watch who walked out on him.

So, when Monica is loathing with her friends about how Paul has tricked her, Phoebe finds Paul’s watch that he had forgotten at Monica’s apartment. 

Ironically, the sad Monica gets to casually smash his watch with her foot, gaining justice.

Ross Grabs A Spoon

Just when Ross was humming about his misfortune and wife, Joey gives him a speech about how there are numerous women, just like countless kinds of ice cream. He motivates Ross to start afresh and “grab a spoon” to take joy in life.

Later, Ross asks Rachel if he could ask her out sometime, and announces to Monica that he indeed “grabbed a spoon”.

These were some of the funniest moments from the first episode of the iconic TV show.

Director Flanagan Marks First day of Shooting Netflix’s ‘Midnight Mass’ With Set Photo

 Mike Flanagan is one of the best and amazing storytellers in Hollywood. This time he is back with a new Netflix series Midnight Mass. He is an American director, writer, and producer. Flanagan is the man behind the successful series of Netflix, The Haunting of Hill House. He also made terrific movies like Oculus and Doctor Sleep. Flanagan announced that he has started filming the next series Midnight Mass. In this article, we will try to discover the story of the new series and how the production team will manage the shooting in this tough time.

The story revolves around a living community on an island that has experienced frightening events after a mysterious priest’s arrival. Flanagan marked the beginning of shooting with a set of pictures of the slate for the series. The longtime cinematographer of Flanagan, Michael Fimognari, will be part of the crew as director of photography. The production is slowly coming back to the track. But the question arises how they are managing the shoot in this pandemic. Although things are becoming routine in the UK, and hence the filming of the series of The Witcher Season 2 and Jurassic World: Dominion is possible. But in the U.S., things are still proceeding slowly, so how will the team manage to start the production.

The Midnight Mass was scheduled to start this past March in Vancouver. But it was halted because of the COVID-19. The cast of the series includes Annabeth Gish, Zach Gilford, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, and Hamish Linklater. Mike Flanagan is slated to direct all the episodes of the show. He is known for some fantastic craftwork. Legends like Quentin Tarantino, Stephen King, and William Friedkin praised his work and direction. He directed the first film after graduation titled Ghosts of Hamilton Street in 2003. Mike wrote, directed, and edited the psychological horror movie Gerald’s game, which was based on the novel of 1992 of the same title by Stephen King. The film was released on  29th November 2017. After watching the film, King called the movie hypnotic, terrific, and horrifying. He also directed and wrote the horror film Doctor Sleep, which is based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name. His project The Haunting of Hill House was a hit series on Netflix. The audience is eagerly waiting for the Midnight Mass to release. Flanagan has also returned with the showrunner The Haunting of Bly Manor, which is the sequel of The Haunting of the Hill House. The Haunting of Bly Manor based on the novel of Henry James titled The Turn of the Screw. However, none of the characters will reappear from the hit Netflix series. The Hill House was based on the work of Shirley Jackson, whereas Bly Manor is based on the work of Henry Thomas. The fans could expect to watch the series later this year.
