This List of the Most Re-Watched Star Trek Episodes Is Baffling

I will be the first person to declare my love of the wildly uneven Star Trek: Voyager above the rest of Star Trek (actually that’s a lie, because my colleague Katharine has beaten me to the punch on this several times). But friends: collectively, we are re-watching far too much Voyager on Netflix. In celebration…

Imagine a world where $52,000 turns into millions, Cheesecake Factories are around every corner, and one bottle of vodka will last a community for weeks. The only problem is you’re basically a living Barbie doll. The first trailer is out for Downsizing, Alexander Payne’s long-awaited scifi flick where Matt Damon goes tiny in order to…

A Pilot Remembers Why She Dreamed of Space Travel in This Lovely Animated Short

In Cécile Carre’s short Burn Out, an intergalactic repairwoman makes an emergency landing on a planet that appears deserted—except for an oddly familiar little girl, who helps her remember why she wanted to blast into the stars in the first place. The meaning is obvious, but the execution is rather beautiful . [Everything Animated]

In the Wake of It‘s Success, Yet Another Stephen King Story Is Becoming a Movie

Stephen King’s words have been made into dozens of movies—and, after It’s blockbuster success, most people assumed that even more would get the big-screen treatment. They just couldn’t have guessed it would happen so quickly. Announced mere hours after the huge box office numbers for It were reported, King’s 1972 short story Suffer the Little…

Lost‘s Daniel Dae Kim May Take That Previously Whitewashed Hellboy Role

Daniel Dae Kim, best known for his roles on Lost and Hawaii Five-O, is in talks to join Neil Marshall’s upcoming Hellboy reboot. That’s good news on its own, but the better news is he may play Major Ben Daimio, the role actor Ed Skrein recently vacated after learning the character was Japanese. Dae Kim,…

5 Science Fiction Comedies That Prove How Bad The Orville Is

Fox premiered Seth MacFarlane’s Star Trek-ish comedy, The Orville, last night. Was it as bad as all the early reviews claimed it would be? It was worse, actually, because nothing truly captures the pain of something actually managing to crawl under the low bar it set for itself. And there’s no reason for The Orville…

The Next Chapter of It Will Be Darker and Introduce New Kinds of Demons

There was always going to be a second chapter to the cinematic reboot of Stephen King’s It. Not necessarily a sequel, but rather a continuation of the story of the Losers Club, after they first defeat Pennywise and go on to become adults. Though the followup film has yet to be officially greenlit or announced…

Outlander Missed an Important Moment in Its Season Premiere

Time-traveling kilt romance series Outlander came back for a solid season three premiere last night, tying up loose ends at the Battle of Culloden and featuring some major character deaths. But it seems as though Starz’s contender for nabbing Game of Thrones’ audience suffers from the same pacing issues that plagued Westeros’ most recent season.…

Some Moviegoers Are Very Committed to Making It Screenings as Creepy as Possible

The new It reboot has been filling seats and breaking box office records, nabbing the biggest opening weekend for a horror film. And as you might expect, people are getting really into it. For example, several Alamo Drafthouse theaters held “Clowns Only” screenings (surprisingly not pissing off the same guys who freaked out over the…

Patty Jenkins Has Finally Closed a Deal to Direct Wonder Woman 2

It has taken a surprisingly long time for Warner Bros. to finalize a deal for Patty Jenkins to come back and direct a second Wonder Woman movie. While that means Warner Bros. didn’t lock her down for a sequel beforehand, it hopefully means Jenkins was able to get a better deal. However, we don’t actually…

How Harley Quinn Evolved From the Joker’s Sidekick to One of DC Comics’ Best Characters

Twenty-five years ago today, Batman: The Animated Series aired its seventh episode, about the Joker forcing an ordinary man to help him assassinate Commissioner Gordon. The story wasn’t memorable, but the episode always will be—because it featured the first appearance of a character that grew into an icon of DC Comics: Harley Quinn. Although she…

Nicolas Cage Believes His Scrapped Superman Movie Is Better Than Man of Steel, Because It Exists Only in Our Minds

Superman Lives may have been doomed to movie oblivion years ago, but its one-time-star believes that even then, the movie has one thing going for it that no other Superman movie can have: the absurd power of our collective imagination. Yup, that’s Nic Cage’s own explanation for how the ill-fated Tim Burton film—which would’ve featured…

Sebastian Stan Thinks of Himself as the Jon Snow of Avengers: Infinity War (And Not Because He Knows Nothing)

As epic as the early footage of Avengers: Infinity War is, it doesn’t really tell you all that much about the film’s plot. Sure, we know that Thor ends up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and that Black Panther and the Winter Soldier are going to team up, but it remains to be seen…

Last Jedi‘s Rian Johnson Strongly Suggests He Won’t Be Directing Star Wars Episode IX

If Las Vegas took odds on Colin Trevorrow’s replacement for Star Wars Episode IX, the odds on favorite would have to be Episode VIII director Rian Johnson. However, in a new interview, he basically says he’s not going to do it, without actually saying he’s not going to do it. “It was never in the…

6 Lesser-Known Cults That Will Give You More Nightmares Than American Horror Story

American Horror Story’s latest venture is Cult, looking at what happens when an enigmatic personality goes a step too far and things turn deadly. It’s an interesting premise, especially considering it’s using the 2016 US presidential election as its starting point, but it’s not exactly unique. There are plenty of famous cults that have popped…
