Argento liked refined British comedy Shudder Hitchcock’s hilarity gave Argento a tonal framework for his films. “I like that kind of British humor; it’s a very refined sort of humor,” he explained. “I want the humor in my movies to be like that, kind of classy. Not the kind of humor that is about a funny line or quip here and there.” A more understated and less punctuated sense of humor is notably British, in contrast to the very punchy style found in Hollywood comedies....

What posters are available and when? Sony Pictures The main “Spider-Man: No Way Home” poster features Tom Holland’s version of Peter Parker front and center, surrounded by the rest of the Spider-Men, as well as the likes of Doctor Strange, MJ, Ned, and the many villains who appear. as well as the “Peter-Two” and “Peter-Three” variants, are going for $65 each. Mondo But that’s not all, because there are also two other versions of the poster for fans who might want one of the other Spider-Man taking the lead....

Christopher Nolan: The Iconic Filmmaker And His Work Reveals How Nolan Wanted To Make The Joker Scary Again [Exclusive] Alamy Stock Photo By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 24, 2022 2:00 pm EST Whatever your thoughts on the work on Christopher Nolan, it’s fair to say he’s one of the biggest filmmakers working today. And it’s also fair to say his Dark Knight Trilogy, specifically “The Dark Knight” itself, changed the movie landscape. Nolan’s “serious” approach to comic books shifted everything and helped give birth to the current version of Hollywood, for better or worse....

Hayden Christensen Channeled Jake Lloyd’s Anakin For Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones Lucasfilm By Ben F. Silverio/Sept. 12, 2022 6:45 am EST While many people have been extremely critical of his performance in the years since he debuted in the “Star Wars” franchise, Hayden Christensen was recently welcomed back into the fold of a galaxy far, far away thanks to his involvement in the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series alongside fellow prequel star Ewan McGregor....

Tragedy comes to Dragonstone HBO Rhaenyra’s last moment of peace is, fittingly, a touching conversation with her son. Little Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault) is the same age as his mother when she was officially declared heir and like any sane fourteen-year-old, has his reservations about taking on adult levels of responsibility. For him, it’s all of Driftmark — the stronghold and fleet will pass to him if Lord Corlys doesn’t recover from his wartime wounds....

How The Fabelmans Poster Gets Actual Film All Wrong Universal Pictures By Witney Seibold/Sept. 7, 2022 8:00 pm EST Steven Spielberg’s new film “The Fabelmans” will be released in theaters on November 11, 2022. It tells a semi-autobiographical story of Spielberg’s own childhood, and how he and his on-screen avatar (Gabriel LaBelle) share a mutual passion for film. It appears to be the latest in a currently-cresting wave of nostalgia-based movies that re-create very specific details from the director’s own childhood (see also: “Belfast,” “Roma,” “Licorice Pizza,” “Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood,” and “Apollo 10 ½: A Space-Age Childhood”)....

How Thor: Love And Thunder Redeems Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster Marvel Studios By Debopriyaa Dutta/July 12, 2022 9:00 am EST Warning: Major spoilers ahead for “Thor: Love and Thunder.” Taika Waititi’s “Thor: Love and Thunder” ups the ante in terms of the creative risks it takes, some of which pay off, while others fall flat. One of the most exciting aspects of “Love and Thunder” (apart from Christian Bale’s terrifying rendition of Gorr the God Butcher) is the return of Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) as The Mighty Thor, a welcome surprise in all respects....

Ms. Marvel’s Mehwish Hayat Wants A Clandestines Spin-Off Disney+ By Debopriyaa Dutta/July 20, 2022 12:59 pm EST Mehwish Hayat, who plays Kamala Khan’s (Iman Vellani) grandmother Aisha in “Ms. Marvel”, hopes for a Clandestines spin-off that could potentially answer important questions about the group’s origins and motivations. In an interview with Popculture, Hayat said that there are a “lot of questions that were left unanswered” and a spin-off show about the Clandestines could help address that (spoilers for “Ms....

The angel Muriel Caroline Cao “Good Omens” season 2 will introduce the angel Muriel, as played by Quelin Sepulveda. Gaiman noted that there was a distinct shortage of nice angels in the first season: “One thing we didn’t have in Heaven, apart from Aziraphale, were nice, well-meaning angels. All we had were bastards. Gabriel, he is the boss from Heaven but he’s still a bastard. They’re all awful. Let’s have a nice one!...

Star Trek Wars: Why Star Trek’s Pacifism Will Always Be So Important Paramount By Witney Seibold/Nov. 15, 2022 4:00 pm EST This author has heard numerous peers and geek-forward pundits muse out loud who might defeat the other in a full-scale, weapons-forward space battle between the U.S.S. Enterprise-D from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and an Imperial Star Destroyer from the “Star Wars” movies. The conversation prompt, designed to glorify in nitpicky details of both franchises, will inevitably entail tactical advantages like ship maneuverability, weapons complement, the attitude of the ships’ respective captains, and the power of phasers vs....

She Done Him Wrong Paramount You don’t just walk right onto a movie set and become the leading man (well, not usually, anyway). When Cary Grant was first starting out, he sometimes played second fiddle to more dominant female performers, such as the incomparable Mae West in “She Done Him Wrong.” She is the incontestable star of the show in this 1933 crime comedy from Lowell Sherman, and her racy double entendres push the limits of even pre-Code cinema....

Oblivion Universal Pictures Back when Tom Cruise made “Oblivion,” he was content to perform only mildly life-threatening stunts like riding motorcycles at full speed and sitting on the edge of a mountain peak in Iceland with an 800-foot drop. That and its relatively modest box office returns (it made $286.2 million on a $120 million budget) could also be the reason why the 2013 film doesn’t always get the love it deserves among the other projects Cruise has made in what you might call the “Get the shot or die trying” phase of his career....

The Daily Stream: The Brass Teapot Embraces Slapstick In The Face Of The American Capitalist Hellscape Magnolia Pictures By BJ Colangelo/July 5, 2022 5:00 pm EST (Welcome to The Daily Stream, an ongoing series in which the /Film team shares what they’ve been watching, why it’s worth checking out, and where you can stream it.) The Movie: “The Brass Teapot” Where You Can Stream It: Hulu The Pitch: What are you willing to do to achieve financial security?...

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 Teaser: A War Of Two Women Hulu By Danielle Ryan/July 14, 2022 2:17 pm EST Blessed be the fruit, I guess, because there’s a trailer for the fifth season of Hulu’s original series “The Handmaid’s Tale.” I was pretty stoked when this series started back in 2017 because I was a big fan of Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, but as the series has gone on and our own world has become increasingly dystopian, it’s become a little too tough to watch....

The Hellraiser Cast Has Such Sights To Show You [Exclusive Interview] Hulu By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 7, 2022 9:00 am EST Warning: This interview contains spoilers for “Hellraiser.” Now on its 11th installment, the “Hellraiser” franchise has seen its fair share of interpretations and countless cast members — including “Severance” and “Parks and Recreation” star Adam Scott, who appeared in 1996’s “Hellraiser: Bloodline.” Director David Bruckner knew he was going to be swimming in some sacred waters when signing on to the new “Hellraiser,” but some of the big creative swings he took resulted in some memorable characters that are welcome additions to the franchise’s legacy....

The New Republic’s Democracy In Andor Episode 9 Echoes Our Real World Political Shortcomings Lucasfilm By Drew Tinnin/Nov. 2, 2022 7:00 pm EST The political climate on Coruscant is growing even more antagonistic towards Galactic Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) in “Nobody’s Listening!,” the ninth episode of “Andor.” The hostility she faces on the floor of the Senate is growing more extreme as more and more of her colleagues get behind the new draconian laws of Emperor Palpatine....

‘These heroes are never going to be forgotten’ Sony Pictures Releasing Adam Makos called the film hitting theaters “the realization of a dream.” He says, “It’s not getting just a movie made, but knowing that these men, these heroes, are never going to be forgotten now.” He continued, telling me, “The Korean War is going to have an identity. It’s going to have faces, and for the first time, people are going to say, ‘I know something about this war....

The Rings Of Power’s Most Brutal Episode Yet Could Even Outdo The Violence In Lord Of The Rings By Joshua Meyer/Sept. 30, 2022 10:00 pm EST Come for the harfoots; stay for the horror. That seems to be the approach “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is taking. The series just delivered its best, most action-packed episode yet with “Udûn,” and it was all about stakes: making us feel the danger as an army of orcs, led by Benjen Stark Adar (Joseph Mawle), bore down on the Southlands....

Drawing on Tim Curry’s face Warner Bros. Television Mixon didn’t start designing the Pennywise makeup until after Curry had already been cast. Using a copy the actor’s photograph, he started penciling out a few ideas. This was followed by a standard practice of making a full plaster cast of the actor’s head. Prosthetics-based makeup will require such casts for the artists to sculpt rubber and silicone pieces that will fit the actor precisely....
