The Actual Meaning Behind That Star Wars Cereal In Andor [Exclusive] Lucasfilm By Jenna Busch/Nov. 3, 2022 2:42 pm EST “Andor” fans love to hate on Syril Karn (Kyle Soller). He’s a worm, a toady, a stalker, probably an incel, and very, very creepy. He may be right about Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) being a threat to the powers that be, but he’s going about everything in the very worst way....

‘I grew up being a comic book nerd’ Dynamite Entertainment Elvira first appeared in the world of comics underneath DC Comics. At that time, she was definitely more Elvira, the horror host. When Claypool came around in the ’90s, the Elvira comic character became the star of her sci-fi and horror adventures, all while looking fantastic – [laughs] – which is also incredibly important for Elvira! I would love to know how it felt to see her starring in her own comic for the first time....
You come at David Simon, you best not miss HBO This is what podcaster Rowan Kaiser — a title that, today, is exactly as commonplace and meaningless as “blogger” was in the mid-2000s — did earlier this week. Here’s the tweet in its entirety: “‘The Wire’ remains the best piece of conservative art ever made. David Simon has no idea that’s true though.” Simon, who monitors his mentions with Lester Freamon-like tenacity, is no stranger to this kind of flip criticism....
Andor Production Designer And Costume Designer On Bringing New Things To The Star Wars Universe [Exclusive Interview] Lucasfilm By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 9, 2022 3:00 pm EST How does one go about creating one of the best, most intense, and formally daring stories in all of “Star Wars?” Well, you go out, get the most talented artists, and put them in charge of various levels of production. Sounds simple enough, right? Having a filmmaker of the caliber of Tony Gilroy spearhead “Andor” already put this prequel series on solid ground, but his decision to collaborate with the best in the business has clearly been paying dividends throughout the first several episodes of the season....
‘I was terrified’ HBO When you picture a project featuring Steve Spielberg as an executive producer, it’s not hard to imagine something huge in scale.

Indeed, being one of his first times acting in front of a camera, filming on “Band of Brothers” was incredibly daunting for Dominic Cooper....

House Of The Dragon Still Has ‘Slightly Too Much’ Sex, According To Matt Smith HBO By Lyvie Scott/Aug. 5, 2022 11:53 am EST With most HBO shows, it’s not a question of whether it will feature sexual content, but when. On paper, it’s a brilliant tool to turn heads and get people chatting at the water cooler — back when office discourse was easier, of course — but lately, the network (and some of its most popular shows) has attracted a bit of flack for its over-the-top explicit content....

Television By Witney Seibold/Sept. 13, 2022 6:30 am EST When one delves into the mythology of Stephen King’s epically long 1986 novel “It,” you might find a massively complicated Theogony of deities that link into numerous ancient creation myths.

Consummate spectacle Alessandro Dobici Director Gilles Maheu subsumes the musical in spectacle. Christian Rätz’s minimalistic set consists of the paneled stone walls (speckled with rock climbing handles for performers) that open into windows that glimpse the action. Pillars topped with gargoyles glide across the stage. It is an eye-pleasing tableau that invites a contemporary imagination of the time period. Suffused with this contemporary rock-pop score, “Notre Dame de Paris” digs for modern resonance as it did in 1998....

Aside from superheroes, genre films are arguably the only other reliable form of entertainment that can bring moviegoers out en masse consistently.
