Happy tenth anniversary to the best thing to come out of those CW shows: the most James Gunn thing he had nothing to do with.
LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is about a group chosen because they're inconsequential who save time over seven seasons. Increasingly awesome and nuckin' futs. Never plateaus.

The Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona is a Modernist concert hall designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, completed in 1908. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features a dazzling auditorium bathed in natural light from stained-glass skylights and walls, with an inverted dome evoking sun and sky.

Finally got to see HELLZAPOPPIN'. Joe Dante said it's a huge influence on GREMLINS 2 and, like FARSCAPE on GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, it's easy to see why.
Not in a rip-off way; both have a healthy love of... anarchic non-sequiturs.

Niki Caro's NORTH COUNTRY and Jang Cheol-soo's BEDEVILLED are very similar. Both are about a woman who's beat down by misogyny in her community from all sides.
Both also have a happy ending, of sorts. One, thanks to the legal system. The other, in an ultraviolent fashion. Guess which.

Men created AI-generated images of this woman and used them to create an OnlyFans account so they can make money off abusing her. They can do this to any of us, and no one’s doing enough to stop them.
I feel like I’m screaming into the void.

At the centre of the claim is the firm's practice of scaling service fees according to ticket prices rather than the cost of services provided.

@severinfilms.bsky.social Loving the latest Danza Macabra almost as much as knowing you'll be releasing THE GHOST soon, with a doc I've wanted for a while and didn't know existed.

Tubi's been fantastic at filling the Rosalba Neri-sized hole in my Letterboxd. It seems that whatever trash Arrow Player doesn't have, Tubi is there with a can of Old Milwaukee.
Whenever I go classy again, I wonder how much Isabelle Adjani is waiting there with a flute of Laurent-Perrier.

Now that enough time's passed, can we finally admit "Around the World in a Day" is a damn fine album? Yeah, it's not "Purple Rain", which isn't "1999", and neither are "Sign o' the Times".
