How A Richard Pryor Skit Became A Companion Piece To The Star Wars Holiday Special CBS By Travis Yates/Dec. 1, 2022 9:03 pm EST There’s random, and then there is stumbling across Richard Pryor bartending in the “Star Wars” universe. If you spend enough time searching “Star Wars” on YouTube, that’s exactly what you’ll uncover. Unfortunately, we only get a brief glimpse of the colorful Mos Eisley Cantina in “Star Wars: A New Hope,” because once Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi affirm that “you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy,” they meet up with Han Solo and get down to business in a dark corner of the tavern....

Death Note caused chaos in Chinese schools Netflix “Death Note” is one of the many manga/anime shows banned in China for its graphic content.

The Dr. No Easter Egg In Skyfall You Might Have Missed Eon Productions By Mike Shutt/Nov. 9, 2022 1:05 pm EST It’s a little difficult to believe that “Skyfall” is a decade old.
