Crushed by the Connors ABC The “Doctor Who” movie had the misfortune to air on the same date as “Roseanne,” which was nearing the end of its eighth season. “Roseanne” happened to be one of the most popular television series at the time, and this episode wound up drawing 20.97 million viewers — nearly five times as much as the “Doctor Who” film. Rik Moran, who helps run one of the biggest Doctor Who fan clubs, knew that this was a kiss of death for a potential U....

The evolution of Thor Marvel Studios The trailer opens up with some soft guitar work and we see a young Thor running through the woods. As the footage rolls on, we see the God of Thunder transitioning through the years rapidly, going from teen Thor to pre-God Thor when we first met him in 2011. It’s a kind of fun way to showcase the evolution of this character in rapid succession to help set the stage for the story about to be told here....

‘A lot of our references are Coen Brothers movies’ HBO How did you want to shoot Barry himself throughout the series? Bill Hader is a big guy, and he continues to be more imposing this season. Definitely, and it’s very funny because he is tall and I am short, so we’re always looking through viewfinders at different heights. I’m always on my tiptoes or he is crouching down to my level....

Disney May Turn ESPN Into A Standalone Streaming Service ESPN By Jeremy Mathai/May 12, 2022 1:24 pm EST It has to be considered a downright bizarre time to be associated with Disney right now.

Meanwhile, Pixar employees are certainly familiar with how their parent company has treated their movies lately, raising frustration levels by either shuttling them straight-to-streaming or creatively interfering with movies for the sake of politics....

Good Luck To You, Leo Grande Review: Emma Thompson Is Magnetic In This Intimate Drama [Sundance 2022] Sundance Film Festival By Ben Pearson/Jan. 23, 2022 7:30 pm EST Everyone knows Emma Thompson is an international treasure. What “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” presupposes is: Maybe she’s even better than everyone already thought? Thompson, a multihyphenate and two-time Oscar winner, delivers arguably the best performance of her career in director Sophie Hyde’s tender drama, while up-and-comer Daryl McCormack (“The Wheel of Time,” “Peaky Blinders”) is also spectacular as the title character, Leo Grande....

Jackass Star Chris Pontius Evidently Attributes Party Boy To God MTV Entertainment Studios By Anya Stanley/Feb. 3, 2022 9:59 am EST In her efforts to repel British efforts to conquer France during the Hundred Years’ War, Joan of Arc frequently credited a series of divine voices, angels and saints alike, as her guiding counsel.
