I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
A year ago, Sylvester Stallone confirmed that he was "working on" Demolition Man 2 with Warner Bros. and that it was "looking fantastic." The 1993 movie is an excellent sci-fi actioner, centring around a renegade cop named John Spartan being cryogenically frozen in the dark crime-ridden future of 1996. The majority of the film takes place after he's defrosted in 2032, where he awakens into a utopian neo-California that has abandoned violence, swearing and eating meat.
With global warming, economic uncertainty and the COVID-19 pandemic, the world feels like it's in a precarious place as we head into the 2020s. But Russia may have a plan to stay on top by cloning an army of 3,000 year old super soldiers. The idea originates with Russia Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who proposed it at a meeting of the Russian Geographical Society last month.
Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot waded into the Gaza crisis yesterday with a Twitter post that has seen her dubbed a war propagandist, an apologist for genocide and a supporter of apartheid.
Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation will begin a new era for He-Man, Skeletor and all their toyetic pals. The show is being developed for Netflix by Smith in collaboration with Castlevania's Powerhouse Animation and boasts an impressive voice cast. Chris Wood and Mark Hamill are playing He-Man and Skeletor, with support from Alicia Silverstone, Kevin Michael Richardson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Conroy, Henry Rollins, Tony Todd, Phil LaMarr and Jason Mewes.
One of the most emotional moments of the Doctor Who revival (hell, probably in the whole of the long history of the show) was when David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor finally said goodbye to Billie Piper’s Rose Tyler. He used a supernova to send his message across dimensions, explaining that they can never see each other again as it’d mean very bad things for the fabric of space and time. And so, Rose remained trapped in a parallel dimension, albeit with the companionship of a ‘fake’ half-human Meta-Crisis Doctor (it’s complicated, okay).
Since the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League, there's a sense that the gloves have come off. Prior to it arriving, Snyder was happy to play the PR game with Warner Bros., despite the studio apparently pulling out all the stops to prevent HBO Max from picking it up and the rumors that they tried to sabotage its success.
