Zack Snyder Made Audiences Rethink His Entire Filmography 16 Years Ago With a Very Weird Movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By the fall of 2010, everybody thought they had Zack Snyder all figured out. He’d made Dawn of the Dead, then 300, then Watchmen, and somewhere in the mix his name came to mean blood in slow motion, men with abdominal definition you could file paperwork on, and comic book panels lifted off the page and lit like a cologne commercial. At a press conference that September, a reporter asked his producer whether she had been surprised her husband wanted to make a family film, given all the rumors tha
26 Years Ago Today, Superhero Cartoons Changed Forever When a Cult Character Made His Debut (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By the fall of 2000, Saturday morning belonged to Kids’ WB. The block was stacked with Pokémon, Batman Beyond, Jackie Chan Adventures, and X-Men: Evolution, and the DC animated shows in particular had built something remarkable, a shared universe where Batman and Superman lived in the same continuity and the storytelling had real weight to it.

5 Fan-Favorite Actors Hiding in Amazing HBO TV Shows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HBO has been the place where television gets taken seriously for close to thirty years now, which means its back catalogue is also an accidental museum of famous people before anyone knew who they were.

Read excerpt
Star Trek has been telling us the future is going to be fine since 1966, and it has spent that entire time quietly proving that fine does not mean safe. The franchise has killed hundreds of people. Most of them wore red and lasted ninety seconds. A handful got under the skin and stayed there. This list is not about the deaths that mattered most to the plot, and ComicBook has already ranked the most important ones if that is what you are after. It is also not about the deaths fans are still furio
5 X-Files Episodes That Prove Its Final Season Is Actually Good (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The X-Files‘ final season is better than you remember. Let’s be clear about which final season we mean, because it is the one nobody defends. Season 9. The one without David Duchovny as a regular. The one where Robert Patrick’s John Doggett and Annabeth Gish’s Monica Reyes ran the X-Files office while Gillian Anderson edged toward the door. The one that finished with a 22% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest of any season the show ever produced, before Fox pulled the plug in May 2002. F
