I’ve been listening to a lot of Chapo Trap House the past few months – and while to this day I have no idea what a ‘Chapo Trap House’ is beyond the name of their troupe, I find their commentary oftentimes really insightful and entertaining. Listening to them reminds me of what’s it like to […]
If you’ve seen Eternals – currently the No. 1 movie in the United States – you’ve likely seen the kiss that was banned in three countries (a commendable stand by Disney, as long as one understands if any of those countries had the economic weight of, let’s say China, then that kiss would have been […]
And I suspect not the last. Christopher Nolan’s Tenet was released in 2020 to high expectations, after all he not only made Batman viable again – after Joel Schumacher ran the franchise to the ground – but directed tentpoles like Inception (2010) and Dunkirk (2017) for the studio (Inception (2014) was released via Warner Bros […]
As if it weren’t already obvious by Sony’s response to the leaked teaser, the interest in Spider-Man: No Way Home is high, so much so that according to Comicbook.com it’s the most viewed trailer of all time in its first 24 hours, beating Avengers: Endgame. It’s worth mentioning that what Sony doesn’t have is a […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony and Disney are working to stop any leaks of the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer before it premieres tomorrow. My question is, why bother? I can’t speak for anyone else but I make it my business to not watch leaked trailers because more often than not they look like […]
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad premiered Friday with $12 million at the North American box office. By way of comparison, 2016’s Suicide Squad opened with $64 million. That’s a MASSIVE decline and while COVID wasn’t an issue in 2016, neither was WarnerMedia’s streaming platform, HBOMax. This is what happens when a company is willing to […]
Apparently Scarlett Johansson is suing The Walt Disney Company over the two-pronged release of Black Widow on Disney+ and in theaters. It’s about time someone took a stand on this issue because I don’t think it’s in dispute that making titles available via streaming at the same time they’re released in theaters, it’s the theaters […]
I should have known. I thought Frank Darabont was the only person who had problems with AMC’s accounting practices and that’s obviously not the case. Apparently Robert Kirkman – the creator of The Walking Dead with artist Charlie Adlard – has relaunched his lawsuit against AMC as well, likely spurred on by the $200 million […]
Let’s say right off that not only don’t I know Mindy Kaling, in fact I have never even seen her before in the real world. That being said, I’m watching Never Have I Ever on Netflix – pretty entertaining show, by the way – but I’ve also noticed that I have seen just one darker-skinned […]
Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Mist (2007) and many others) has been engaged in a lawsuit with AMC Networks for screwing him over on profits on The Walking Dead, which he was the original showrunner, for almost two decades. Seemingly his quest for the monies he believes he’s owed has ended (assuming that […]
