    Why Yes, I Do Need This Rocky Popcorn Bucket That Brings Iconic Moment To Life (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Movie theater popcorn buckets have gotten increasingly ridiculous over the last few years, and I remain an embarrassingly easy mark. Give me a container shaped like a monster, spaceship or some wildly impractical piece of movie history, and suddenly I’m trying to figure out where I would put the thing in my house. The latest Rocky collectible might be one of the simplest ideas yet, but it also may be one of my favorites. As part of the original film’s 50th anniversary celebration, participating

    Guillermo Del Toro Is Here To Defend Digger Against 'Petty' Haters (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Tom Cruise’s Digger has become one of those movies where the wildly split reviews are almost as entertaining as the film sounds. Some critics think Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s environmental satire is audacious and hilarious. Others have called it obnoxious, exhausting and flat-out unpleasant. Warner Bros. has already turned that divide into marketing material, so apparently everybody has chosen violence, but now Guillermo del Toro has entered the chat. The Frankenstein filmmaker responded to an IGN

    One Big Reason Fans Should (Probably) Have Seen The New Skywalker Star Wars News Coming (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The news that Star Wars is apparently heading back into the Skywalker Saga caught me a little off guard. After The Rise of Skywalker closed out nine numbered movies in 2019, Lucasfilm spent years exploring everything from Mandalorians and High Republic Jedi to whatever beautifully strange corner of the galaxy Andor occupied. I figured the studio might leave Episodes I through IX alone for a while longer. However, on second thought, there is probably one big reason fans should have maybe seen thi

    One Viral Tweet Claps Back At People Thinking This New Star Wars News Is A Disaster (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I already have some concerns about the next Star Wars trilogy. I recently wrote about how fans are questioning Lucasfilm’s apparent return to the Skywalker Saga, and I’m still firmly in the camp that would rather spend some time exploring literally anywhere else in this enormous galaxy. One part of the latest news I’m considerably less worried about is Jon Watts. Still, that hasn't stopped a large outpouring of fan backlash to the director's hiring. Now a viral tweet is clapping back. Watts is r

    I Didn't See It Coming When Rob Lowe Admitted He Was 'Happy' About The Will Smith Oscars Slap (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you’re making a list of the biggest Oscar scandals people still talk about, Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is probably somewhere near the top. During the live broadcast of the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, Smith walked onstage and struck Rock after the comedian joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. The moment dominated the rest of the ceremony and has been dissected ever since. While most audiences were disturbed by the incident, actor Rob Lowe actually took personal joy in it. During
