An Untitled Article About How Much Melanie Lynskey F****** Rules Showtime By BJ Colangelo/Jan. 18, 2022 3:00 pm EST My parents had a standing agreement with the Mom & Pop video store at the end of my block growing up that I was allowed to rent whatever I wanted, no questions asked. It’s how I was able to name John Waters as my favorite director before I was old enough to get my braces off, and it’s why I was renting rape-revenge movies before I had my driver’s license....

Barry Goes On The Road In The Best Episode Of The Season HBO By Josh Spiegel/May 29, 2022 10:30 pm EST There’s nothing like a good cold open. Some cold opens — you know, the opening scene of an episode of TV before the title card — are just brilliantly funny, while others are surprising or terrifying or propulsive. And others are just plain shocking. Enter the cold open of “710N”, the sixth episode of the third season of HBO’s “Barry....

Clint Eastwood S Directorial Debut Helped Launch Jessica Walter S Career

Clint Eastwood’s Directorial Debut Helped Launch Jessica Walter’s Career Universal By Anthony Crislip/March 16, 2022 1:44 pm EST Clint Eastwood’s 1971 directorial debut, “Play Misty For Me,” rings with the same confidence he would bring to every film he’s made since. In most of Eastwood’s work, clear, uncomplicated, but elegant filmmaking mingles with strong performances (from non-actors and professionals alike) to bring any different genre to life. There’s an unvarnished vitality to those movies, and “Misty,” shot on location in Carmel on the Monterey Peninsula, has that in spades....

Don’t Expect The Stranger Things Season 4 Finale To Have A Happy Ending Netflix By Debopriyaa Dutta/June 10, 2022 1:27 pm EST Warning: Spoilers ahead for “Stranger Things” Volume 1. “Stranger Things” fans are obviously waiting for Volume 2 with bated breath, especially after the huge reveal at the end of Volume 1, which recontextualizes a lot of Vecna’s motivations throughout this season. While every season of “Stranger Things” has ended on a mostly good note (or bittersweet, in the case of season 3), fans should not expect the season 4 finale to have a happy ending — or to be an “ending” at all....

Every Season Of King Of The Hill Ranked Worst To Best 20th Television By Joe Garza/May 13, 2022 12:12 pm EST Ever since “King of the Hill” debuted January 12, 1997 on Fox, fans have delighted at the amusing-yet-relatable antics of Hank, Peggy, and Bobby Hill, as well as their friends and neighbors in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas. One of the best aspects of the show is the writing of its characters, as they are all clearly defined and have their own set of idiosyncrasies, making it all the more hilarious when their quirks collide in otherwise mundane situations....

Invincible Comic Colorist Sues Robert Kirkman Alleging He Was Conned Out Of His Profits Share

This Isn’t Kirkman’s First Legal Rodeo AMC Studios There’s a lot to unpack here, and we won’t know anything for certain until the lawsuit unfolds, but it’s worth noting this isn’t the first time Kirkman has been sued by a collaborator. In 2012, Kirkman and comic book artist Tony Moore amicably settled a lawsuit in which Moore alleged that “Kirkman and his agents had duped him into assigning his interest in the material over to Kirkman,” according to The Hollywood Reporter....

Sally’s Show Goes Live In The Latest Episode Of Barry HBO By Josh Spiegel/May 15, 2022 10:30 pm EST Here’s a fun fact: the second-season premiere of HBO’s hit show “Barry” first aired on March 31, 2019, with its finale airing in May of that year. So it’s been three years, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, since this show aired regularly. And while it makes perfect sense that “Barry” would not incorporate the pandemic into its storyline, the show also isn’t doing a ton of hand-holding for its audience in season three about even the tiniest details from previous seasons....

The Daily Stream Doctor Sleep Is The Best Of Both Stephen King And Stanley Kubrick

Why it’s essential viewing Warner Bros. When writer/director Mike Flanagan took on the adaptation of “Doctor Sleep” he had two masters to appease: Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King. King notoriously disliked Kubrick’s take on his novel, “The Shining,” calling it cold and miscast, so when he wrote a sequel to his novel there was naturally very little connective tissue to “The Shining” that non-readers have in their heads. As a novel, that’s an easy leap to take, but for any movie adaptation of the sequel to “The Shining” there was going to be a huge challenge in tackling this material visually and making it feel like a worthy successor to one of the most iconic horror movies of all time....

This Shining Reference In Doctor Sleep Is Tough To Catch Warner Bros. By Caroline Madden/Feb. 28, 2022 11:44 am EST Mike Flanagan is a contemporary master of horror with an immaculately detailed and compassionate filmmaking style. “Doctor Sleep” is another extraordinary entry in his canon. This hypnotic sequel to “The Shining” manages to work as both an engaging adaptation of Stephen King’s novel and continuation of Stanley Kubrick’s film. It’s no easy task to synthesize those worlds, especially considering that King is not a fan of Kubrick’s version, which departs in many ways from his original novel....
