An Animated Suicide Squad Is the Movie We Really Want

Suicide Squad is certainly no different. https://gizmodo.com/the-new-suicide-squad-trailer-is-insane-in-every-way-im-1753883379 This newest iteration comes from…

I Miss the Heroes of the 80s Who Got Their Asses Kicked All the Time

The 80s were a simpler, more macho time. It was the era of Ronald Reagan, Rambo, and Bruce Springsteen’s patriotic denim buttcheek. But when I think about 80s pop culture, I think about heroes who got their asses handed to them. I miss that vulnerability and determination to keep going after a horrendous defeat. When…

Why Austen Outweighs the Undead in Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

When asked to label his new movie, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, writer/director Burr Steers just chuckles. “A zom-rom-com action/period.. .dram,” he laughs. But he’s not kidding. Pride & Prejudice & Zombies is a film that defies characterization by being so many things simultaneously, and doing them well. Pride & Prejudice & Zombies opens February…

Hot Toys’ Next Batman v Superman Collectable Is Armored and Awesome

Admit it. The first time you watched the trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, you fell in love with the Frank Miller-inspired, armored version of Batman.

Kevin Smith’s Dogma Hasn’t Aged Well, But It’s Still a Minor Miracle

Kevin Smith’s Dogma is a star-studded, religious themed, highly offensive, violent and gross R-rated road trip comedy about a descendant of Jesus Christ saving the world from two fallen angels. That madcap collection of ideas worked on me as a teenager. Now, not so much. When I first saw Dogma, I was totally and utterly…

This Chicken-Obsessed Shining Short May Be the Weirdest Thing You’ll Ever See

I just watched The Chickening and I’m not sure I’ll ever be the same again.

Honestly, what more can you say than that? Talking is hard with…
