[ad_1] Despite the fact that he first made a name for himself by constantly staring directly into a camera lens, John Krasinski has proven to be a pretty good director. He obviously had a big hit with A Quiet Place, the horror movie set in a post-apocalyptic hellscape/wish fulfillment fantasy, in which a middle-aged couple’s kids are…
[ad_1] SNL hosts who want to take a walk on the wild side? Not always a great idea, explained Seth Meyers on this week’s Lonely Island podcast. “A lot of times actors come in and want to show the other thing they do,” he said, “and it turns out the reason we haven’t seen it yet is…
[ad_1] When you click the little right-pointing arrow on Netflix, you enter into an implicit agreement with the creators of what you’re about to watch: They put a reasonable effort into building a world that’s realistic enough, and you won’t nitpick it too much. When they drop too many boom mics into the frame or stare at the…
[ad_1] It’s been almost a week since the release of Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop-Tart movie Unfrosted, which critics are hailing as an “embarrassment” and “one of the worst films of the decade so far.” But because we live in Hell, millions of people have still been watching it. That being said, Unfrosted does boast one of the most impressive comedic casts…
[ad_1] Every so often, Hollywood offers up two projects with nearly identical premises at the exact same time. Volcano and Dante’s Peak both came out in 1997, Armageddon and Deep Impact also hit theaters in 1997, and the fall of 2006 found NBC airing both Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and 30 Rock — although, to be fair, the latter contained…
[ad_1] They say there are no such things as happy endings because nothing ever ends, and by “they,” we mean Peter S. Beagle. God, The Last Unicorn is so good. And he was right: Follow that unicorn for 30 more seconds, after she’s met up with the others she’s just saved, and she’d be like, “‘Sup, guys, how…
[ad_1] In the notoriously lackluster Seinfeld finale — which, admittedly, has been somewhat enhanced by the recent spectacular Curb Your Enthusiasm finale — Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer go to jail for not helping someone in need. And yet, the Seinfeld gang was guilty of crimes far worse than that, some of which resulted in the deaths of people both on-…
[ad_1] A friend is getting married, and you open up their gift registry. You see a “Dutch oven” listed there, and you suppress a giggle. How could they request that item with a straight face? Don’t they know “Dutch oven” is slang for holding someone’s head under the covers and forcing them to smell a…
[ad_1] What is a juvenile hall, if not a place to hold kids who were grounded by the government? If you had to choose one family from the South Park universe to raise you, you probably wouldn’t choose the Stotch household. Despite their moderate affluence — Stephen is seen driving around a Lexus in some episodes, and…
[ad_1] John Hughes movies as a rule haven’t aged well — just ask Molly Ringwald about Breakfast Club. But few characters are more problematic than Long Duk Dong, the horny Asian exchange student in Sixteen Candles played by Gedde Watanabe. (Cue GONG sound effect.)
