During a panel at Sao Paulo’s Comic-Con Experience 2017, director Ruben Fleischer named the two classic Venom stories that have inspired Sony’s upcoming stand-alone Venom movie starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom. When the movie was announced last year, the first question on every fan’s mind was “How do you make a Venom movie without Spider-Man?” Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Venom movie won’t be. The director cited 1993’s Venom: Lethal Protecto

Push notifications may be benign but they are an annoyance, and apps allow users to disable push notifications. That’s not the case with HQ Trivia, a game where the push notification sent to your phone is of the utmost importance. When the push notification is sent out, players roughly two minutes to open HQ Trivia and get into the game.
