House Of The Dragon Gave Daemon The Jaime Lannister Treatment

House Of The Dragon Gave Daemon The Jaime Lannister Treatment HBO By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Sept. 13, 2022 2:00 pm EST “House of the Dragon” knows precisely how to appeal to fans of “Game of Thrones.” In a show that is swarming with visceral violence, breathtaking visuals, plenty of mythical beasts, and controversial, swoon-inducing incestuous couples (yes, you read that right), it’s necessary to remind fans that this is the world of “Game of Thrones” and it’s all perfectly acceptable here....

Mark Hamill Had A Crash Course In Scuba Diving For Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Lucasfilm By Cameron Roy Hall/Dec. 19, 2022 11:01 am EST Actors get to try a little bit of everything but this seems to be the month of submerging those scamps. James Cameron, however, does not own the market on professional-grade dunk tanks (even if he’s tried really, really hard). Much like how nearly every videogame features the requisite water level, a significant chunk of Hollywood finds itself clocking in a few hours beneath the waves....

Tom Atkins Hopes That Halloween III Has Finally Escaped From Under Michael Myers’ Shadow Universal Pictures By Erin Brady/Sept. 27, 2022 3:47 pm EST “Halloween III: Season of the Witch” has undergone a significant cultural re-evaluation in recent years.

While this unconventional sequel is appreciated today, it is a shame it wasn’t loved the way it deserved to be back in 1982....

If their decisions and actions aren’t clear, then you are just watching plot points and not the stories of these people’s lives. “The Black Queen” does an excellent job of establishing the motivations of its characters and having them do things that reflect those motivations....

During the late 2000s, there was an explosion of fandom-inspired baby names like Bella, Edward, and Hermione, but now it seems like Disney-owned properties have taken the throne as the creative inspiration for new parents....
