“Mister, I was made for it,” versus “Mister, I was born for it,” sums up the major psychological distinction between the 1947 Nightmare Alley and Guillermo del Toro’s 2021 remake. Neither line from the end of their respective movies is in the 1946 novel by William Lindsay Gresham. That book concludes just short of the revelation or confession (depending on the actor who says it). Bradley Cooper’s Stan Carlisle finds it downright hilarious that he is about to become a geek....

Outlander Season 3 Episode 8 Well, I suppose there are probably worse ways to find out about your husband’s other wife, but not many. The other shoe dropped on tonight’s episode of Outlander, and it made for some emotionally-riveting television. After last week’s installment, which felt like phoning it in for this character-driven drama, Outlander delved deeper into the complications of reuniting with someone you love after two decades apart. “First Wife” wasn’t always pretty, but it was always true....

At the end of every Peaky Blinders episode comes the expected fiction disclaimer declaring that its names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales and incidents are products of the writer’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. The usual next line about “any resemblance to persons living or dead” being purely coincidental isn’t included, for the obvious reason that several of the show’s characters don’t just bear a resemblance to persons living or dead, they’re unequivocally them....

Despite efforts on the part of both Coscarelli and Romero to break away and make some very different films (like Martin and Knightriders in Romero’s case, The Beastmaster and bubba Ho-Tep in Coscarelli’s), for one reason or another both were forced back into feeding the franchise. Both filmmakers, for the most part, spent their careers working independently with very small budgets, but while Romero’s Dead films grew smaller, repetitive, and, let’s be honest, pretty shabby and tired, the wild imagination that gave birth to the original Phantasm only expanded and grew wilder over the next four decades, with the continuing storyline leaping back and forth between universes and dimensions....

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 8 Being trapped in the year 2024 hasn’t prevented Star Trek: Picard from connecting to all corners of the Trek franchise. In some ways, this part of Earth’s history is the most pivotal for the formation of the rest of the timeline. And so, it makes sense that as the series warps towards its impending finale, the rest of the canon is honored and somehow referenced....

Yes, it’s one of those things that’s just too weird to exist. Once upon a time, Welles was tasked with recording lines for a peas commercial and things started to go off the rails. He and the directors didn’t see eye-to-eye, he didn’t appreciate any notes about his delivery, and eventually, he stormed out of the session, claiming that no money was worth this. Somehow, the audio was bootlegged and the situation became a ridiculous moment of legend....

Power Rangers Beast Morphers Episode 1 The premiere of Beast Morphers had to do so much more than simply setting up a new season of Power Rangers. It was carrying the weight of being the start of the Hasbro era. After eight years of more or less the same, there was a ton of expectations on this episode. Would we get something better? Different? More of the same? WORSE?! It’s not fair to any episode of television to shoulder those kinds of expectations but that’s what it had to do....

For over twenty years, rumors of a canceled project known simply as Resident Evil: DASH have divided the Resident Evil fanbase. For some, it’s the ultimate missing part of Resident Evil‘s legacy. To others, it’s one of the longest-lasting urban legends in video game history and a rumor that, much like a Resident Evil zombie, never seems to die. What’s the true story of Resident Evil: DASH, though? That’s what we’ll try to uncover today as we dive into the fascinating history of this nearly mythical game....

The season 6 finale of Rick and Morty “Ricktional Mortpoon’s Rickmas Mortcation” was another festive episode that saw Morty (Justin Roiland) get to live out his dreams of being a Jedi for a brief moment before his functional lightsaber threatens the planet and almost ruins Christmas. As he tries to stop his lightsaber from reaching the Earth’s core, Morty discovers that Rick (also Justin Roiland) replaced himself with a robot in order to continue his search for Rick Prime, the Rick that killed his family and Morty’s true grandpa....

However, the early reactions to 2022’s Saints Row have ranged from “mixed” to “downright hostile.” What should have easily been one of the year’s biggest games is now the subject of widespread fan backlash. As is so often the case with divisive pieces of popular media in the internet age, the discourse surrounding Saints Row spread so quickly that it can be difficult to understand what the whole thing is really about....

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she has already resumed her working relationship with Disney. At the red carpet for a 35th annual American Cinematheque event honoring her career, Johansson spoke with the trade about what’s to come. “I have had some of the best times of my career working for both of those studios,” she said. “I feel really excited that I get to continue my work with Disney and with my Marvel family....

So bear with me. I realised quite late on – when the haze of chasing that thrill wore off – that this is one of the most dumb, pointless (and surprisingly expensive) endeavours I’ve committed to and, frankly, the least I can get out of it is an article. UK genre fans may have noticed that in the last year or so, a lot of direct-to-DVD films have been showing up on supermarket shelves with shiny foil sleeves all depicting a sinister house....

You certainly have plenty of options when it comes to securing your web applications, all with their pros and cons. Some solutions rely on identifying security issues in the source code of your applications. Others protect your applications against attacks....

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone is a fantasy epic that has it all: A complex heroine, great supporting characters, and a sweeping plot that is based on a magical system that both empowers and isolates those who wield it. The back half of the season builds to a thrilling climax that’s both intensely satisfying and leaves plenty of room for the story to go in new directions in Season 2. (Which we better be getting, is all I’m saying....

Young adult fantasy fiction is one of the most popular literary genres on shelves today, full of a seemingly endless variety of stories about faeries, demons, and the sort of complex magical systems that occasionally need a flow chart to explain. It’s also full of young women, both as central characters and primary readers, all struggling and striving to figure out who they are and how they might find their own magic in the world around them....

Shameless Season 11 Episode 1 “The Gallaghers built Chicago single-handedly…” The final season of Shameless begins with an introduction that’s the most stylized that the show’s ever been and it almost feels out of place for the this series. Frank narrates over austere newsreel footage of Chicago’s history, which gradually devolves into the slovenly nature that is more Shameless’ speed. Frank’s Zelig-like revisionist take on the city illustrates how Gallaghers have been involved with every important event that shaped Chicago, whether it’s the takedown of Capone or the Trial of the Chicago Seven (which would have been the Chicago Eight if Frank were also apprehended, he contends)....

Shrill returns for season 2 with Annie dealing with the aftermath of last season when she took on her troll, got serious with her boyfriend, and spontaneously quit her job. Meanwhile, Amadi (grounding force/dream work husband Ian Owens) is adjusting to being the boss, something he finds surprisingly enjoyable, which frees Gabe up to show us what it look like when he’s actually a good editor for what feels like the first time all season....

Quick back-of-the-napkin math on major headlines since last season’s South Park finale aired on Dec. 11 2019: the impeachment trial of the sitting president, a drone strike on Iran, the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, the Democratic primaries and presidential election cycle, Brexit (well, for real this time), wildfires engulfing the west coast, police brutality protests and rioting across America, continued forgien election interference, and 200,000+ people dead from COVID-19 in the United States, with a curve nowhere near flattened, and over 1 million dead worldwide....
