Equity problems in the TV industry Peacock “I think with streaming, I think it’s more opportunity. I think people have run out of stories, have run out of ideas,” she says, indicating that platforms like Peacock, where “Rutherford Falls” airs, allow for more creativity than traditional cable or network TV. But Ornelas also reveals that there’s no comparison between the two in terms of compensating the people making the series happen....

The 14 Best Gene Kelly Movies Ranked MGM By Fiona Underhill/March 8, 2022 3:58 pm EST Gene Kelly was one of the most influential dancers of the 20th century. While the more formal Fred Astaire was known for wearing top-hat-and-tails in ballroom dances such as the foxtrot and quickstep, Kelly brought a looser, more energetic, and modern style of dance to the Hollywood musical. As a director, choreographer, and performer, Kelly exploited film for what it could bring to dance that the stage couldn’t....

Columbia Pictures By Eric Vespe/March 6, 2022 8:11 pm EST Where You Can Stream It: Netflix Why it’s essential viewing I have a very distinct memory of my usually very permissive mom turning to me and saying she wasn’t sure I should be watching this. Naturally, I protested, and she didn’t need much convincing, even though I couldn’t have been older than eight or so at the time. I mean, by this point I had seen “Jaws” and “Aliens” a few dozen times apiece, so what were a few bad words here and there, right?...

Acid and stone Warner Bros. Pictures In March of 1995, seven months after the release of Stone’s film, Sarah Edmondson and her boyfriend, Benjamin Darras, both 18, shot a convenience store clerk, leaving her paralyzed, before shooting and killing a cotton gin manager, William Savage. When the homicidal teens were asked why they had done these things, they blamed dropping acid and watching “Natural Born Killers.” The convenience store clerk, Patsy Byers, hired a lawyer, who put together a lawsuit against Time Warner and Stone for inciting violence and product liability....

The Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale Echoes The Best Scene In Star Wars: Rebels Disney+ By Rafael Motamayor/June 22, 2022 1:23 pm EST This post contains spoilers for the finale of “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” The live-action “Star Wars” shows on Disney+ have gone a long way to bring years of animated stories to larger audiences, reintroducing fan-favorite characters and imagery, and sometimes rehashing story beats and replicating moments beat-for-beat. Though it sometimes feels a bit redundant — Boba’s arc in “The Book of Boba Fett” echoes some of the character’s inner conflict in “The Clone Wars;” the upcoming “Ahsoka” show seems to be a live-action sequel to her animated adventures — there are also opportunities to deepen both the animated and live-action realms....

The Project That Brought Stephen King And A Music Icon Together SMV Enterprises By Natalia Keogan/May 20, 2022 1:28 pm EST Michael Jackson, the late “King of Pop,” was hardly a stranger to legendary collaborations. Most notably, there’s the 1983 music video for “Thriller” directed by John Landis — which remains the only music video ever to be inducted into the United States National Film Registry.

A Quick Recap Warner Bros. If you thought that all of this season’s mysteries would be neatly wrapped up in the finale, you’re probably watching the wrong show. “Raised by Wolves” abandoned any promise of a standard narrative about halfway through the season, and if you’re along for the ride, you’re along for the ride. The season finale begins with Campion (Winta McGrath) using his blood to make a copy of Vrille’s (Morgan Santo) final words, etched into a fallen log....

The Sci-Fi Show Rejection That Devastated Emma Stone Warner Bros. By Valerie Ettenhofer/May 11, 2022 8:30 am EST Nearly every Hollywood success story also has a Hollywood rejection story. Before Tom Holland was Spider-Man, he bombed an audition for the role of Finn in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Before Tom Hiddleston became a star, he tried out for Orlando Bloom’s part in “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Emma Stone missed out on a major role before hitting it big too, though she says she ended up right where she needed to be....

The Tragic Real-Life Story Behind The Exorcism Of Emily Rose Screen Gems By Miyako Pleines/Feb. 9, 2022 2:30 pm EST Horror movies are notorious for often basing their stories on real-life events. Famous horror films like “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and “The Conjuring” have taken some of their most terrifying details from things that actually happened to real people. And one of the scariest horror flicks allegedly based on a true story is Scott Derrickson’s “The Exorcism of Emily Rose....

Jason X New Line Cinema Cronenberg’s involvement in “Jason X” is legendary, and it is likely that you clicked on this article so you see it get mentioned. Well, good news! It’s mentioned.

What is worth discussing, however, is the bizarre way that his appearance even came about....

Anya Taylor-Joy Loved The Misery Of Making The Northman Focus Features By Eric Vespe/March 23, 2022 8:25 pm EST We know when director Robert Eggers sets out to make a movie, he doesn’t mess around.

This isn’t a director who sits comfortably on a soundstage shooting everything against greenscreen and hoping audiences won’t notice a difference....
