Together again FX Season 3 ended with the characters scattered to the winds, going on their own separate adventures. I thought it might take some time for them to get back together again, but the writers wisely realized that the interplay between everyone is key to the show’s success. Sure enough, as season 4 begins, the gang quickly reunites in their (increasingly crumbling) house on Staten Island. Some things have changed: Colin Robinson died last season, only to be reborn as a strange child that still has actor Mark Proksch’s head creepily positioned atop a kid actor’s neck....

13 Movies Like Jurassic World Dominion You Should Definitely Check Out By Chad Collins/June 10, 2022 7:44 pm EST “Jurassic World Dominion” is a fitting end to the second Jurassic trilogy.

Video nasties Keystone/Getty Images Mary Whitehouse was a British campaigner against what she saw as the growth of moral indecency in modern entertainment. She led well-funded, very loud, and extremely hypocritical campaigns against everything she considered bad for the kids. This mostly meant that she got a lot of airtime for preaching homophobia and lying about films she hadn’t actually seen. She infamously sued the makers of the play “The Romans in Britain” for gross indecency because she thought an on-stage depiction of male rape was real (she hadn’t actually seen the play and, no, an actor wasn’t literally raped eight shows a week....
