Taylor Sheridan’s Landman, 1923 & Yellowstone All Have the Same Symbolism

by

After the conclusion of Yellowstone, many felt that Taylor Sheridan’s earlier series, 1883 and 1923, represented his strongest work, and viewers were eager for him to return to modern Westerns. The 2024 release of Landman delivered just that, quickly becoming a hit with audiences, much like Yellowstone before it. While each of Sheridan’s shows offers a fresh perspective, they all share common threads – including a subtle use of symbolism that many viewers may not have noticed.

Catherine O’Hara Wanted to Be Remembered for Special Role

by

A recent rediscovery of an old TMZ interview reveals a touching response from O’Hara when a reporter asked her, while she was waiting at an airport, which role she’d most like to be remembered for. Her answer was simple and heartfelt: “The mother of my children.” She was referring to her sons, Matthew and Luke Welch, who she shared with her husband, Bo Welch. This sentiment echoes comments she made on the Wiser Than Me podcast in 2024, where she told Julia Louis-Dreyfus that she purposefully scaled back her work while her boys were growing up.

After 20 Years, Final Fantasy’s Most Hated Game Is Worth Revisiting

by

Most Final Fantasy games are excellent, but a few haven’t quite lived up to expectations. Titles like the often-criticized (but now appreciated) Final Fantasy XIII and my personal favorite, the controversial Final Fantasy XV, have had their detractors. However, no game receives as much negativity as Final Fantasy 7: Dirge of Cerberus, a spin-off intended to expand on the story of FF7. I believe this negativity isn’t deserved, and with the game celebrating its 20th anniversary, it’s worth another look.

Marvel’s First 10 Superheroes, Ranked by Importance

by

Just to clarify, we’re only including characters who first appeared as superheroes, and we’re judging their importance based on how much of an influence they had during their time and on Marvel’s overall history. While it’s easy to argue about what exactly makes a superhero, for this list, we’re looking for characters who actively fought crime and had some kind of recognizable costume or appearance. Having a secret identity isn’t necessary, but it’s a plus. Now that we’ve covered that, let’s go back to the beginning with Timely Comics.

These stories don’t rely on dramatic rescues or simple happy endings. Instead, they explore difficult themes like loss, regret, and how easily things can fall apart.

Avengers: Doomsday’s Main Plot Theory Sounds Exactly Like The MCU’s Worst Villain Plan

by

As a huge Marvel fan, one thing that really has me buzzing about Avengers: Doomsday is Doctor Doom. With Thanos, we knew from pretty early on what he was after with the Infinity Stones, and even Kang’s motives were brilliantly established by He Who Remains in Loki. But with Doom? We’re less than a year out from the movie, and his plan is still a total secret – which is honestly incredibly exciting and makes me wonder what surprises are in store!

Next month, The Revenant will be back in cinemas with a special IMAX showing. This highlights how popular the film remains even eleven years after its initial release. Few movies have had the same impact as The Revenant over the past decade, despite many trying to achieve similar success. It remains a truly remarkable film.
