‘Ella McCay’ Review: Vote No on James L. Brooks’ Worst Movie Yet

by

Brooks consistently makes comedies that are witty, well-acted, and focus on interesting characters, even when tackling tough subjects. He has a knack for presenting these films in a way that’s appealing and easy to enjoy, without being condescending. However, his style hasn’t evolved much recently, and his latest film, Ella McCay, feels outdated and ultimately falls flat. It’s a disappointing political story that doesn’t live up to expectations from the very beginning.

MSCI’s Digital-Asset Exclusion Could Destroy Bitcoin Innovation: Strategy’s Bold Stand!

by

On the 10th of December, Strategy Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTR), a company known for its bold commitment to bitcoin-treasury and enterprise analytics, sent a letter to the MSCI Equity Index Committee with an impassioned objection to MSCI’s decision to exclude digital-asset-heavy firms from its global indexes.

Toonami Classic Anime to Replace Adult Swim Lost Series

by

As we reported earlier this week, the show Futurama will no longer be airing on Adult Swim after December 26th. Now, Dragon Ball Z Kai is stepping in to fill the slot, starting December 29th, giving anime fans a new early-morning fix. Futurama isn’t the only show leaving this year – King of the Hill also recently departed from Cartoon Network. While there hasn’t been an official explanation for these changes, it’s possible Cartoon Network is looking for more affordable programming options, like Dragon Ball Z Kai and Home Movies.

Marvel Just Ended The X-Men’s Oldest Rivalry (By Killing The Most Important Mutant… Twice)

by

The Ultimate Wolverine series has become incredibly brutal for its characters. After regaining his free will, Logan joins the fight against overwhelming forces who control everything. Issue #12 is a major turning point, leading directly into the Ultimate Endgame storyline. It also features a shocking and somewhat disrespectful death – Logan faces off against a mutant who had been manipulated by the Eurasian Republic. While deaths of popular characters aren’t unusual in this series, this one is particularly strange because the character killed, Cyclops, was a major focus for Marvel at the time.

Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom Story & Game-Changing Doomsday Role Teased by Marvel (in an Unexpected Way)

by

Marvel fans are buzzing about Robert Downey Jr.’s shift from iconic hero to what seems like a villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Interestingly, a similar storyline played out in Marvel comics a few years ago, but in reverse. The 2017 comic series Infamous Iron Man, by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev, has become more difficult and costly to find since Downey Jr.’s return was announced. Now, Marvel is reprinting the entire story in a new collection, but with a title change: it’s now called Infamous Iron Man: The Rise of Doom instead of Infamous Iron Man: Infamous (according to Bleeding Cool).
