It’s a Freaking Miracle That We Got a Man in the High Castle TV Show

The producers of the Man in the High Castle TV series spent eight years trying to get it off the ground, and having doors slammed in their faces. For a while, the BBC was going to make it, but it fell through. In order to finally get it made, they had to make one crucial…

American Horror Story: Hotel Flashes Back to Old Hollywood, Land of Glamor and Vampires

Despite a mighty effort to keep the Ten Commandments Killer storyline going (zzzz…), it’s Lady Gaga’s Countess who owns this show week after week. In “Flicker,” we got the Countess’ complete origin story—and it’s a doozy, dripping in old Hollywood glamor. Spoilers! We finally know who turned the Countess: silent-film heartthrob Rudolph Valentino, played by…

Batman Europa‘s Gorgeous Art Was Worth the 11-Year Wait

More than 11 years after it was first revealed, Batman Europa’s first issue has finally hit store shelves. While its globetrotting story of a tenuous partnership between the Joker and Batman isn’t particularly shocking yet, it more than makes up for that setup with some truly amazing art. https://gizmodo.com/11-years-after-it-was-announced-batman-europa-is-comi-1723849893 Spoilers ahead for Batman Europa #1,…

Attack of the Clones Is a Star Wars Wish-Fulfillment Checklist Gone Horribly Wrong

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is universally considered the worst Star Wars film. Upon rewatching it, it’s hard to disagree—but you do see lots of what George Lucas was trying to do. Most of which was unsuccessful. Welcome to our Star Wars movie rewatch! Basically, Attack of the Clones is PG-rated Star…

The First Daredevil TV Series Merchandise Is a Line of Cutesy Pop Vinyls

Ever since Daredevil blew our minds earlier this year, I’ve been itching to see some merchandise based on the Man without Fear. But while fans have been making some amazing custom toys, it’s taken a while to see anything official… until now. Funko’s ever growing mass of franchises it distills down into its chunky, giant-headed…

James Franco Gets His Time Travel Mission in the Teaser for Hulu’s 11.22.63 Series

It’s only 30 seconds long, but the teaser for Hulu’s adaptation of Stephen King’s 11.22.63 has a ton of information. It’s got a voiceover to tell you the mission statement: go back in time to save JFK. It’s a bunch of people running around in period costumes. What more do you want? Contact the author…

Last Night’s Arrow Could be a Game-Changer for Superhero Shows in General

You should watch the latest Arrow episode with the sound off. This is not an insult to the dialogue in “Brotherhood,” but a tribute to the fights. Not only could this story be told largely through the ass-kickings, this style could actually change what we expect from Arrow and superhero shows. The First Fight This…

Alan Moore Advises New Writers to Self-Publish Because Big Publishers Suck

At an anti-library closure protest, local magician and comics legend Alan Moore had some surprising words for those who hope to break into the wide world of published writing. With his wild-man Merlin’s beard and distinct Northampton tones, Moore’s speaking style is oddly comforting as he holds forth. “If you write every day, you are…

Peter Jackson Freely Admits The Hobbit‘s Production Was a Shambles

The letter “H” is the only thing the words “honesty” and “Hollywood” share in common. It’s a cut-throat business, but most of it happens behind closed doors and we can only speculate later on what may or may not have happened when movies work, or don’t. However, in a new video from the Blu-ray release…

Marvel’s Jessica Jones Is The Character-Focused Superhero Epic We’ve Been Waiting For

In the past decade, we’ve seen an endless parade of comic book movies and TV shows, promising to be darker and more “realistic.” But until Jessica Jones, none of them has really hit the mark. We saw the first seven episodes, and here’s our spoiler-free review. There’s a lot to like about Jessica Jones, the…

A Monster Calls Looks Like the Next Great Fantasy Fairy Tale Movie

A truly great fantasy fairy tale movie is a rare thing. In the ‘80s, films like The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story and Labyrinth made the cut. Guillermo del Toro’s early films, The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth, are worthy additions. And next year, we may need to add a new one to the pantheon.…

The Doomed TV Adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle Was Just Undoomed

Ever since it was announced that the vaguely named IM Global Television would turn Kurt Vonnegut’s classic science fiction satire Cat’s Cradle into a TV series, I have been dreading it. Oh, I love Vonnegut’s bleak novel, but I was 100 percent certain no one could transform the slim, wonderful, esoteric book into live-action. I…
