When I woke up this morning one of the first things I read was a story on Buzzfeed about the racism Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things) was encountering from the series’ fandom and while none of that should have been a surprise – he’s a darker-skinned male in the United States, racism/sexism/nativism/whatever -ism you want – […]
Is Millie Bobby Brown British? I’m reasonably certain with a name like that that she isn’t, but in her interview with The Wrap she definitely sounds like she’s ‘putting on airs’ though that’s not what I’m writing about today. What I’m referring to is Brown calling the Duffer Brothers ‘Sensitive Sallies’ over their reluctance to […]
Why does this movie exist? And why is it co-written by Gil Kenan, the same person who graced us with the remake of Poltergeist–another movie that had no reason to be? Say what you will about Ghostbusters 2016, that movie at least had something to say. You may not have agreed with it, but it […]
I created a reaction trailer to Patty Jenkins’ for Wonder Woman 1984 though in case you don’t feel like watching, it’s not great (not my reaction trailer, that’s awesome. I mean WW 1984). It’s colorful and seems to reflect that 80’s esthetic pretty well–probably better than Netflix’s Stranger Things–but the trailer is chaotic and not […]
A day or two ago the trailer for the latest season of Netflix’s Stranger Things franchise, Stranger Things 3, dropped and it looks…fine. Not great, and definitely NOT an event though that’s okay in the sense that not everything has to be an event and there should be room for smaller-scale things as well. Which […]
While I’d rather see Guillermo Del Toro finish his Hellboy Trilogy–Hellboy, Hellboy: The Golden Army and….–that’s no longer in the cards. The reboot is being directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday) and stars David Harbor (Stranger Things, Suicide Squad) as Hellboy. The trailer looks okay, except for some of the CGI, which […]
This is an image of Ron Perlman as Hellboy from Guillermo Del Toro’s 2008 movie, Hellboy II: The Golden Army. If anyone could be said to be destined to play a character it’s Perlman, who’s Hellboy looked like he was pulled from the pages of Mike Mignola’s comic. Flash forward to 2017 when the third […]
The latest trailer for Stephen King’s IT dropped a few hours ago, and the first thing I wondered when I saw if was if IT was also a part of the Stranger Things universe. Both feature Finn Wolfhard, both revolve around a group of young people on the cusp of the adult world–and the secrets that […]
