With New Context, These Old Quotes About the Han Solo Movie Speak Volumes

Even before co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired from the Han Solo movie, they didn’t talk about the film in public a lot. One place they did was at last year’s Star Wars Celebration, and reading the quotes now is very weird. For example, here’s a quote from Lord, when talking about the…

A Rookie Teacher Fights the Forces of Evil in Winning Comedy Horror Short The Sub

A substitute teacher who’s young enough to vividly remember the horrors of adolescence finds another reason to fear high school when she realizes there’s something very strange about her new gig.

Jason Isaacs Looks So Uncomfortable in His Star Trek: Discovery Uniform

We have our very first look at Jason Isaacs as Captain Gabriel Lorca on the bridge of the USS Discovery, and my god does nothing about this look comfortable.
