New #KnivesOut movie is streaming, y'all, and #WakeUpDeadMan doesn't disappoint. Josh O'Connor's Father Jud might be my favorite screen character of 2025. www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

As a kid back in the day who convinced my parents to take me to multiple screenings of Clue so I could see all three endings, I loved getting this exclusive 40th anniversary cast reunion together: www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

I love this. I also love that they pimp Tom King's awesome Supergirl comic that inspired it.
Look out. #Supergirl lands in theaters June 26.

When audiences decided the opinion of a critic they read regularly was not as valuable as the thumbs up and thumbs down of 150 random critics, many of whom were only published on their own personal websites. The volume of opinions dwarfed educated ones. That was the first big crack.
What do you think the first death knell of the modern media landscape was? When we started conflating art with content or when we stopped being able to tell the difference between audience and community?

oooh.
Spielberg's "Untitled UFO Movie" has a billboard in Times Square.

THE MOVIES ARE BACK.

PS: Sure sounds like this thing is going to be called DISCLOSURE, huh? Probably stylized as DISClosure...

I've seen AVATAR: JAMES TAYLOR SONG PARAPHRASED TITLE, unlike most of the world. I suppose that the Golden Globes have pre-cogs from MINORITY REPORT voting, because how can you nominate AVATAR: I'VE SEEN FIRE AND I'VE SEEN ASH for a box office award when the damn movie hasn't opened yet?

An absolutely absurd amount of comics in this deal, including some of the best direct market comics of the century so far.
In the early hours after Halloween of 1988, four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls uncover the most important story of all time in Paper Girls Vol 1 - 6.

Whether or not this back-and-forth matters, and fully admitting that Tarantino was "punching down," I'll just say that everyone upset about this should immedietely rent or stream THE LIFE OF CHUCK...

The fact is that Netflix is probably going to let Warner be for a good long while, which is completely different from Paramount who would tear EVERYTHING down in 5 seconds.
There are lots of angles to the Netflix/WB deal, and plenty of reasons for concern. Media consolidation? Not great! That very significant caveat aside, there's reason to be hopeful that maybe the Netflix-HBO of it all will be... not bad? Up now at @vulture.com

Maybe Netflix Will Be Good for HBO
“It may be the least worst option,” one HBO insider said of the deal.
