September is the precursor to the spookiest month of the year, making it relatively spooky simply because of close it is to October, and it can be hard to ignore the underlying sense of dread that permeates the month. Pumpkins are growing larger and more frightening, the candy corn trees are beginning to blossom, and…
TNT has ordered a sequel series to The Alienist. The new season will be based on the book’s sequel, The Angel Of Darkness, and it will feature the same main cast as season one.
According to a report from the Associated Press, Paul Walker’s brothers Caleb and Cody are hopeful that the character Walker played in the Fast And Furious movies can come back somehow. Walker died in a car crash in 2013 while he was filming Furious 7, requiring his brothers to act as stand-ins for his performance in…
It’s almost September, the month where everybody’s sick of the warm weather, grumbling about going back to school, and/or complaining about how Pumpkin Spice Lattes are available too early. It’s also time for some new stuff to come to Amazon Prime, though, which should be more fun than all three of those things. This…
Season one of Iron Fist wasn’t great, but hopefully season two (on Netflix September 7) will be better. This trailer—with Danny fighting evil Iron Fist, dating, and working with Misty Knight—is okay.
We all thought it was pretty funny when Jim Carrey decided to dedicate his social media pages to unflattering portraits of Donald Trump and his various evil cronies, with Carrey’s particularly weird style and his unsubtle commentary (Trump bathing in literal sewage, for example) making it clear that he truly despised…
It has been a long time since we got a video game adaptation that considered legitimately good, not counting the stuff that dedicated fans really ate up like Warcraft or Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, but nothing will ever stop producers from deciding that they’re the ones who will finally crack the video game adaptation…
It looks like Rihanna and Donald Glover are working together on a secret project, but thanks to the fact that they’re both very famous, it might not be as secret as they hoped. The two of them were spotted in Cuba recently, and according to people on Twitter, sources in Cuba claimed that they’re shooting scenes for an…
We’re not quite optimistic enough to say that Republicans are blindly grasping at straws in hopes of finding something, anything, that might give them an advantage against the evil liberals, but it does seem like a lot of idiot Trumpers out there are desperate for something that they can consider a win. That’s…
Finally, we can all rest easy knowing that two giant companies have apparently agreed that it’s okay for both of them to sell toys of characters named Bumblebee. That comes from Variety, which says Hasbro and DC Comics have settled the lawsuit that Hasbro filed last year over a DC Super Hero Girls doll called…
Life as an actor may seem exciting and glamorous, but it’s not all red carpets, Tonight Show appearances, and Oscar parties with an open bar. Sometimes you have to fight to get auditions, you wait for callbacks that never happen, and then you end up losing the role to a white guy named Chris. Despite the many…
Wes Anderson has made a movie about a wacky/sad family, a fantastic fox, and some dogs that may have been guilty of cultural appropriation, but he inexplicably has gone his entire filmmaking career without making a musical set in post-World War II France. Musicals are all artsy and artificial, the setting has the…
In Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, Topher Grace plays famous racist David Duke as a boring loser who sucks (making him not so different from the real David Duke), but for some reason, there are David Duke fans out there who aren’t particularly happy about the veracity of Grace’s performance. As reported by TMZ (via …
The Ouija board that the entertainment industry uses for guidance can be fickle, divining that audiences want a bunch of Frankenstein movies when they definitely do not or insisting that the world could use more Frasier, but now the spirits have issued a new command: Bring back Designing Women. According to The…
Welcome to Trailer Happy Hour, big frosty mug that we pull out of the freezer and fill with all of the hoppiest new movie and TV show trailers of the day. Today we’re teasing Black Earth Rising, Netflix’s The Kindergarten Teacher, Arizona, What Men Want, Five Fingers For Marseilles, and Green Book.
David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows was all about how naked people are scary (unless you subscribe to high-minded concepts like “metaphors”), and now he’s writing a horror script based around a similarly simple fear. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mitchell is writing an full-length adaptation of Julian Terry’s…
Back in the day, before internet pranks involved ruining someone’s life or tricking them into watching a cheesy music video, we all got our kicks with jump scare videos. It was a simple gag: You tell someone to find the secret object hidden in a “photo,” and after a minute or so of silence, a scary face would appear…
Few things embody the romance of being in an up-and-coming band as well as the ugly, broken van that you can use to drive to gigs, carry gear, and fill with unsold t-shirts. On a recent episode of History’s American Pickers, hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz managed to find a legitimate piece of band van history when…
One of the most fun things about Hulu’s Castle Rock is scanning every frame for all the references to other Stephen King stuff, since you never know when you’ll see a newspaper headline about the events of some famous book or a picture of a guy from another thing. We may already be a ways into the show’s first season,…
Back in May, we reported that Sylvester Stallone was (maybe) working on a Rambo revival that would see John Rambo mowing down a Mexican cartel after the daughter of one of his friends gets kidnapped. That followed rumors that have been swirling for about a decade, including one about a full reboot called New Blood …
