How Marvel And Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Pays Multiple Tributes To Chadwick Boseman And T’Challa Marvel By Valerie Ettenhofer/Nov. 11, 2022 5:30 pm EST Warning: This article includes spoilers from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Going into “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” I was a little bit worried about what my crying situation would be like. Personally, I’ve always loved finding emotional catharsis at the movies, but if the trailers for this film were any indication, I was worried I’d be sobbing through my mask for the full 2-hour-and-41-minute runtime....

How Robin Williams ‘Rescued’ Terry Gilliam’s Adventures Of Baron Munchausen Columbia Pictures By Mike Shutt/Sept. 21, 2022 3:20 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Terry Gilliam has almost never had an easy time making a movie. The former Monty Python member has a filmography that stretches nearly five decades, and nearly every film he has made has been a butting of heads between a director with an unbridled imagination you can’t really reign in and people who would very much like to make their money back on their investment (who rarely do)....

In Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, Chloe East Proves You Can Do A Lot With A Minor Role Universal Pictures By Matthew Bilodeau/Dec. 9, 2022 3:03 pm EST This article contains major spoilers for “The Fabelmans.” “The Fabelmans” — Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical tale about a creative child building his cinematic language through the lens of his parent’s deteriorating marriage — is an intimate epic whose emotional beats are highlighted by its ensemble cast....

Is Avatar: The Way Of Water’s High Frame Rate The Future Of Cinema? 20th Century Studios By Witney Seibold/Dec. 19, 2022 9:00 am EST 13 years in the making, James Cameron’s new film “Avatar: The Way of Water” is, true to the filmmaker’s ethos, a technical marvel of the highest order. Set on a distant alien moon, the film is about a war between the honorable, nature-loving Na’vi and a cadre of vengeful human super-Marines who team up with evil whalers to hunt down the film’s protagonists....

‘I still am grieving Supernatural’ The CW In an interview with Collider, Padalecki recounted his most significant career shift yet: from playing Sam Winchester for 15 years to taking on a new role in another television series, “Walker.” The “Gilmore Girls” star has appeared in over 400 episodes of television throughout his acting career, over 300 of them being in “Supernatural.” All good things come to an end and so did “Supernatural,” but it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s easy to move on from such a big part of your life....

Judd Apatow’s Love Of True Romance Helped Inspire Pineapple Express Sony Pictures By Travis Yates/Nov. 12, 2022 10:00 pm EST Judd Apatow has had quite a run in Hollywood. A triple threat as a writer, producer, and director, he’s responsible for dozens of TV shows and movies dating back to the early 1990s. But even in the early 2000s, Apatow didn’t have the clout he has today. On the heels of writing and directing “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up,” Apatow was struggling to get his next project going — the coming-of-age teen comedy “Superbad,” written by childhood friends Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg....

Justin Roiland’s Adventure Time Role Took A Major Toll On His Voice Cartoon Network By Matt Rainis/Nov. 12, 2022 11:30 pm EST Voice actors are some of the most underappreciated performers in show business. They’re all over our media and they have a very unique skill set, yet they rarely get the recognition or the compensation that they deserve. With a few exceptions, most voice actors never become household names, even if their work is extremely prolific....

Love Boat Taught Tom Hanks How To Say ‘No’ To A Role ABC By Jeremy Smith/Sept. 19, 2022 1:09 pm EST If you were any kind of celebrity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, chances are you booked a one-episode trip on “The Love Boat” at some point. It’s also possible you boarded “de plane” to “Fantasy Island.” These two ABC shows were the backbone of ABC’s losers-and-old-farts-stuck-at-home-on-a-Saturday-night line-up, and scored impressive ratings throughout the majority of their runs based primarily on their constantly revolving carousel of guest stars....

Magic Mike’s Last Dance First Look Shows Some Skin Warner Bros. By Danielle Ryan/Oct. 21, 2022 3:02 pm EST Grab your g-strings, bottled water, and a bag of Cheetos, because “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” has a first-look image to tease the upcoming “Magic Mike” sequel. The third and final film in the “Magic Mike” saga will see Channing Tatum’s “Magic” Mike finally in a relationship, potentially with a new protagonist who takes the story all over London, but I’m sure there will also be lots of sexy, half-naked dancing....

Namor And His Army Are Now Among The Coolest Villains In The Marvel Cinematic Universe Marvel Studios By Rafael Motamayor/Nov. 13, 2022 5:02 pm EST The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an unprecedented success story in filmmaking, a unique experiment in crafting an interconnected universe with dozens of characters and some great stories. But for all its features, the MCU doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to its villains....

Pearl sure has made a mess of things A24 The twisted delight in watching “Pearl” is seeing glimpses into how Goth transforms from the seemingly innocent farmer’s daughter to a psychopathic killer. You really don’t have to wait long, as not only does she murder a goose with a hilariously terrified look on its face within the first 10 minutes, but feeds it to her pet alligator Theda in an exemplary title card drop....

Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi Reaffirms One Of Yoda’s Unique Traits Disney+ By Rafael Motamayor/Oct. 27, 2022 11:28 am EST Though the main characters in the original “Star Wars” trilogy were all mostly human (at least when it came to the Rebel Alliance), the prequels exponentially increased the number of important alien characters in the franchise. This is particularly true of the Jedi, who come in all shapes and sizes....

Something there Disney During an interview with Variety to promote “Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration,” producer Chu confirmed that the special will honor Lansbury. “We definitely do a nod to her for sure,” he says. “How could we not pay tribute?” He also teases a few more surprises that won’t be revealed until showtime. But in addition to paying homage to the history of the film itself and the actors that originally brought it to life, he shared that the production will include cultural ties to new cast members H....

Why it’s essential viewing HBO Sports Thanks to the internet allowing a view into celebrity lives unlike ever before, André the Giant very well may be the last great folk hero. The image of Roussimoff was titanic in nature by virtue of his size, wearing 22 size shoes, with hands that could cover an adult man’s entire face, and a towering height rumored to be 7'4" before his numerous back surgeries, but everything else about him was also notoriously huge....

Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw Paramount Pictures Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller) has one of the more straightforward call signs in “Top Gun: Maverick” — but according to the New York Times, the character nearly had a very different name altogether. Back when Teller auditioned for Bradshaw, he was called “Rascal.” An interesting choice, but not one that particularly fit the character that Rooster became. Fortunately, Teller was able to choose a new call sign after he was cast, one that served as a nod to his late on-screen dad, Goose (Anthony Edwards)....

Star Wars goes hard Marvel Comics Comics, games, and tie-in novels aren’t safe places in this galaxy, either. A number of terrifying moments await, like the violence coming off the pages of “Vader Down” by Kieron Gillen and Jason Aaron. It’s the moment Vader is on his own, surrounded by Rebel forces. “All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men,” is a promise Vader fulfills. Additionally, gamers familiar with “The Force Unleashed II” might imagine Vader’s assault the easiest, since it’s the only game thus far to let players hack Stormtroopers into pieces with their lightsaber....

The Song Of The South Controversies Explained Walt Disney Pictures By Ben F. Silverio/Aug. 10, 2022 8:56 pm EST Everybody makes mistakes. It’s a fact of life. People live, learn, and grow because of the mistakes they’ve made or seen others make. But when the ones making mistakes are celebrities, public figures, and pop culture icons, fans will label them as “problematic faves” by recommending their work or singing their praises with a caveat attached....

Warner Bros. Discovery Has Axed Its Pipeline Programs For Writers And Directors Oscity / Shutterstock By Erin Brady/Oct. 11, 2022 6:30 pm EST One of the most prolific industry programs in Hollywood is officially shutting down. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Tuesday that the Warner Bros. Television Writers and Directors Workshops will no longer be operating after more than 40 years of service. An official statement has not been released regarding the decision, but these closures are shaping up to be another controversial axing that has plagued Warner Bros....

Wearing A Harry Potter Witch’s Wardrobe Wasn’t Fun For Maggie Smith Warner Bros. By Fatemeh Mirjalili/July 21, 2022 10:25 am EST In all of Dame Maggie Smith’s indisputably illustrious career, her role as Professor McGonagall in the “Harry Potter” franchise is one of the most special ones. The veteran actor’s natural charm and warm disposition transform her on-screen, whether she’s playing the voice of reason as Dowager Countess in “Downton Abbey” or the no-nonsense Transfiguration Professor Minerva McGonagall....

Chad is funny, folks! TBS The first season of “Chad” debuted on TBS in April 2021, following former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Nasim Pedrad as a 14-year old pubescent Iranian-American boy navigating the complicated halls of high school. Chad desperately and awkward tries to be cool with comically uncomfortable results, and his life is often thrown into upheaval by his mother’s dating life and reconciling his cultural identity with being an everyday American teen....
