I was so excited to hear on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that Zack Snyder actually had a plan for a Man of Steel sequel! He told Josh Horowitz that Brainiac was going to be the main villain, which would have been incredible for the DCEU. It’s a shame we didn’t get to see that story unfold.
This week’s episode of Dark Winds was packed with developments. Beyond Irene’s unexpected kiss with Leaphorn, the episode moved the story forward by sending the characters to Los Angeles, continuing the investigation into Chee’s mysterious illness, and creating tension between Chee and Leaphorn over Leaphorn’s plans to retire. It was a busy episode, and deserves a closer look at everything that happened.
The upcoming Spider-Man spinoff, Spider-Noir, coming to Amazon Prime Video, will introduce a new live-action Spider-Man costume with a distinctly different look and feel.
The first episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy ended with a powerful scene set to a version of the song “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair).” The scene showed the USS Athena arriving at and docking with Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. Originally written by John Phillips and famously sung by Scott McKenzie in 1967, this version of the song was arranged by Star Trek: Starfleet Academy composer Jeff Russo and performed by Rufus Wainwright.
After brief previews of Avengers: Doomsday showing Steve Rogers, Thor, and the X-Men, the latest trailer focused on the first encounter between the Wakandans and the Fantastic Four. The meeting between Winston Duke’s King M’Baku and Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Ben Grimm (The Thing) was a significant moment, but the conversation between them was surprisingly funny – a lighter tone than anything seen in previous trailers.
The show Kevin Can Fk Himself used a striking contrast in styles. Scenes with Kevin were presented like a traditional, brightly lit sitcom complete with laugh tracks. However, when the story focused on Allison and didn’t include Kevin, the visuals became darker and more realistic, reflecting the difficult truths of her life, like feeling isolated and wanting to leave her marriage. Though the show was canceled after two seasons on AMC, it successfully told the story it set out to tell.
The mix of thrills and suspense has been a winning formula for the Scream films for nearly thirty years. But Scream isn’t alone – many other great movies use similar scary ideas, each offering a unique take on the slasher genre.
This Black Mirror episode is arguably the show’s most disturbing and least funny. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it remains incredibly popular with viewers. It’s also unique in that it feels less focused on futuristic technology than other episodes. However, it made a powerful impact – arguably stronger than any other installment, before or since. When Season 3 aired in 2016, introducing “Shut Up and Dance,” it truly changed the way we watch television.
Shia LaBeouf recently gave a lengthy interview to Andrew Callaghan on YouTube, which gained over a million views in a short time. During the conversation, LaBeouf talked about the events of February 17th, his journey with sobriety, and his past relationships with Mia Goth and FKA twigs.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Sarah Michelle Gellar discussed the shared history she has with Samara Weaving, her co-star in Ready or Not 2. Both actresses were targeted by the Ghostface killer in different Scream movies – Gellar in Scream 2 and Weaving in Scream VI. Gellar pointed out this connection but wondered how significant it really is, considering what happened to their characters and the fact that they both died in the films.
