The Infinity Gauntlet Easter Egg You Never Noticed In Thor

The Infinity Gauntlet Easter Egg You Never Noticed In Thor Marvel Studios By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Feb. 2, 2022 1:18 pm EST Any self-respecting Marvel Cinematic Universe fan should probably know these two things: First, Marvel Studios really likes Easter eggs. Secondly, Thor’s father Odin likes to lie a lot. One of the most talked-about Easter eggs in the franchise (and mind you, there are many) is the first appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet, the powerful Dwarven-made Uru glove designed to channel the power of all six Infinity Stones....

The Morning Watch Brett Goldstein Stops By Sesame Street Peacemaker Set Tour More

Brett Goldstein hangs out with Oscar the Grouch Grouches gonna grouch on Sesame Street. 💚 Thanks for visiting our neighborhood @BrettGoldstein! We love you! pic.twitter.com/frguVpTJpE— Sesame Street (@sesamestreet) February 15, 2022 First up, Brett Goldstein is best known for playing the grumpy but charming Roy Kent on “Ted Lasso,” so it only makes sense for him to pop up on “Sesame Street” with none other than Oscar the Grouch. It’s a short but sweet appearance (and it seems to maybe be part of a bigger guest spot), but it’s one of those cameos that will bring a smile to the faces of parents who happen to catch it while their kids are entranced by the screen....

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 S Writers Room Wasn T As Wild As You Think

The Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Writers Room Wasn’t As Wild As You Think Comedy Central By Witney Seibold/April 14, 2022 3:07 pm EST Back in 1988, when he was first conceiving “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” show creator Joel Hodgson wanted it to serve as a late-night hangout. His local Minnesota TV station, KTMA, had a store of cheap genre films they would throw on late and night, and Hodgson wanted to recreate the phenomenon of staying up late with friends, watching these valueless, cheesy movies, and have a good time....

The Oscars Paid Tribute To 60 Years Of Bond James Bond

The Oscars Paid Tribute To 60 Years Of Bond, James Bond MGM By Ryan Scott/March 27, 2022 9:44 pm EST Hollywood is deeply obsessed with franchises, so much so that every studio and streaming service practically runs on them, for better and for worse. But decades before it was hip, “James Bond” cemented itself as a global franchise with style that has managed to endure across multiple generations. Multiple actors have taken up the 007 moniker, with no signs of slowing down, even as Daniel Craig hung it up with “No Time to Die....

This Was Rachel Brosnahan S Most Difficult Scene In The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Season 4

This Was Rachel Brosnahan’s Most Difficult Scene In The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4 Prime Video By Shania Russell/June 17, 2022 2:00 pm EST The mad divorcée of the Upper West Side, aka “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” is due to return for one more season before the motor-mouthed comedian takes her final bow. It’s hard to imagine parting ways with Midge Maisel’s (Rachel Brosnahan) unhinged energy, but comforting to know that the show is set to go out on its own terms, with Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino bringing Midge’s story to its natural ending....

Silverio/Feb. 1, 2022 4:52 pm EST Like the contents of a low flush toilet, “Titans” refuses to go down. The former DC Universe original series will return to its new home on HBO Max for a fourth season in the near future. And ahead of filming for that next chapter of the young heroes story, we have learned that stars Brenton Thwaites, Anna Drop, Teagan Croft, Ryan Potter, Curran Walters, Conor Leslie, Joshua Orpin, and Minka Kelly will be joined by some new additions to the cast that could BEE some big trouble for the team....

Why Dubbing Studio Ghibli Films Can Be Challenging For Actors

Why Dubbing Studio Ghibli Films Can Be Challenging For Actors Studio Ghibli By Mike Shutt/March 7, 2022 3:55 pm EST The process of dubbing films from their original language to another is a tricky game to play. As an English speaker in the United States, I am of several minds about it. For one, there is the contingent of people who just refuse to watch a film in a foreign language because they will not read subtitles....

Why Michael Douglas Feels Bittersweet About Gordon Gekko’s Impact In Wall Street By Travis Yates/May 19, 2022 9:10 am EST The 1980s was a time of excess. Neon color schemes splashed storefronts in malls across the country. You weren’t cool unless you had the latest gadget, car, or fashion. Some might say it was driven by greed. And “greed, for lack of a better word, is good.” At least that what Gordon Gekko of “Wall Street” would have you believe....

Willem Dafoe Was Surprised To Be Asked Back For Spider Man It S Always A Little Difficult When You Die In A Movie

Willem Dafoe Was Surprised To Be Asked Back For Spider-Man: ‘It’s Always A Little Difficult When You Die In A Movie’ Sony Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Jan. 28, 2022 10:52 pm EST Marvel movies tend to kill off villains like they’re going out of style. It’s like they operate by a reverse “Dark Knight” formula: “You either die a villain, or you live long enough to see yourself become the hero.” “Spider-Man: No Way Home” tweaks this approach by plucking bad guys from the multiverse and having Spidey (Tom Holland) attempt to reform them....

How Dan Aykroyd S Supernatural Experience Shaped The Ghostbusters Script

How Dan Aykroyd’s Supernatural Experience Shaped The Ghostbusters Script Columbia Pictures By Bill Bria/Feb. 23, 2022 5:24 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. A lot of what makes the original “Ghostbusters” an enduring classic is immediately apparent: a giant kaiju Marshmallow Man, the earworm that is Ray Parker Jr.’s theme song, and all things Bill Murray. Yet “Ghostbusters” would feel far less tangible and, dare we say, less authentic were it not for its presentation of the paranormal....

As the streaming wars wage on, Peacock is continuing to crank out a quality slate of original programming to try and win over potential subscribers.

If Buzz hasn’t learned that lesson yet, then the box office will surely hammer it in....

In 2013, however, funny guys Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (“Superbad,” “Pineapple Express”) tried their hand at tackling the apocalypse with “This is the End....

Moon Knight Is Marvel’s First Openly Jewish Superhero Disney+ By Jamie Gerber/April 27, 2022 9:01 pm EST “Moon Knight” just dropped its fifth installment, “Asylum,” which also happens to be the show’s best episode yet. The Disney+ series has just one episode left of its first (and possibly only) season, and where Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) winds up is anybody’s guess. There are several aspects of the Marvel Comics character that fans worried would be improperly adapted for the MCU, most prominently Marc’s mental health issues and his Jewish background, neither of which have been portrayed with much consistency in the comics....

The story goes that star Kirk Douglas, miffed that Charlton Heston landed the leading role in “Ben-Hur,” elected to put his own Roman epic into production out of spite. Douglas hired director Anthony Mann, but fired him within a week after the two of them clashed....
