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.
The Doom Patrol are as awesome as they're obscure. Generally relegated to the outer echelons of the DC Universe, they're the company's weirdest superhero team, generally composed of psychologically and physically screwed up individuals who spend as much time battling their personal demons as they do supervillains.
The homicidal killer doll Chucky has proved to be cinematically immortal, surviving being set on fire, shot through the heart, dunked in molten plastic, sliced up by a giant fan, dismembered with an axe and decapitated. Still, you can't keep a good doll down, and it's just been confirmed that the iconic horror villain is set to terrorize audiences in a Child's Play television series. The news comes courtesy of Bloody Disgusting, who spoke with Chucky's creator Don Mancini and franchise producer David Kirschner.
Yesterday saw us get our first good look at Brie Larson in costume as Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel. In a departure from what some fans expected, however, her suit wasn't the familiar red, blue and gold ensemble from the comics, but a vivid green and black number. Naturally, this kicked off an enormous stink with quick Photoshops being produced to show us what people think she 'should' look like.
With recent films like IT, Get Out, The Witch and The Babadook all picking up critical acclaim as well as busting the box office wide open, we're living in a new golden age of horror cinema. Now, it's looking as if the next high-profile chiller is set to be A24's Hereditary, which has been picking up some major buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, where critics are calling it "the scariest horror movie in years."
Tobin Bell teases future developments for the sinister Jigsaw, revealing that he's got a great idea for Saw 9, which we know the studio is looking to do.
Aside from his involvement in a super creepy cult, I find it difficult to dislike Tom Cruise. Sure, he's a bit odd, but he's always nice to his fans on the red carpet and he comes across as an admirably dedicated and hardworking actor. That said, check out the poor bastard snapping his ankle in two jumping between buildings while filming Mission: Impossible - Fallout. Clearly, he took things a little too seriously when someone told him to 'break a leg' before he went to set that day.
Despite being a franchise about battling space wizards, killer teddy bears, sentient dustbins and horny gangster slugs, one fan has realized that the truly implausible thing about Star Wars is that the Millennium Falcon just doesn't make sense spatially. We're all too familiar with both the interior and exterior of this craft from the five movies it's appeared in, but would those rooms really fit inside what we see on screen?
