DC Films has been through a lot. Despite finding success in certain individual projects, they’ve never been able to get everything to gel the way Marvel Studios has. A lot of that may change in the future thanks to James Gunn and Peter Safran running the newly renamed DC Studios. But what happened to the other guy? The one largely blamed for everything that went wrong with “Justice League,” among other things? That would be Walter Hamada, former head of the company from 2018 until October of 2022. His next gig post-WB? Heading to Paramount Pictures to start what they…

In 2017 a game was released for PC simply titled “Walden, a game.” As suggested by the title, it is indeed a game about Henry David Thoreau and his time at Walden Pond. The idea of a game where you play asThoreau and receive visits from Ralph Waldo Emerson seemed to be the pinnacle of metacommentary on video game characters. Little did we know that that it wouldn’t end there. No, now we have the opportunity to play as someone even more philosophical who’s also the son of God: Jesus Christ. “I Am Jesus Christ” is exactly what it says…

If you weren’t around to keep up with the news in 1997, you missed out on one of the most insane and unexpected moments in sports history.

The first fight had ended with a surprising TKO stoppage by Holyfield in the 11th round. When the rematch happened, Tyson bit a chunk off of Holyfield’s ear near the end of round 3. And now, we have ear shaped cannabis…

It lot has happened since the tragic events on the set of the film “Rust” claimed the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. There has been a lot of discussion and argument about who was responsible for putting a live weapon into the hands of Alec Baldwin. So many variables were in play about who was handling the gun, who checked it, who knew what, how the conditions onset were in general, etc.. At least one person has decided to take a counter-offensive to try to escape culpability- Alec Baldwin himself. On November 11th, Baldwin filed a negligence lawsuit against multiple…

In 2016, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” hit theaters and made a killing at the box office. The “Harry Potter” prequel netted over $800 million, and seemed poised to successfully continue the Wizarding World franchise in lieu of any more stories involving Harry and his friends. Since then, the series has been embroiled in controversy, in part because of Ezra Miller and in part because of franchise creator J.K. Rowling herself. Where exactly does the “Fantastic Beasts” branch of the Wizarding World stand now? Have the remaining films actually been cancelled? Rowling has opened herself up to a…

“Community” is one of those shows that never really widely caught on, but resonated with enough people to become a cult classic. That journey wasn’t without its struggles though. Between issues with star Chevy Chase, the temporary ousting of show creator Dan Harmon, and cancellation by NBC, it looked like “Community” would never hit its goal of “six seasons and a movie.” Well, the sixth season did happen, a movie is in the works, and despite initial concern about the casting, it looks like one of the main stars will be returning! When news broke about the “Community” movie finally…

Oh Gerard Butler, you Scottish madman you. From being the king of Sparta in “300,” to the masked man in Joel Schumacher’s 2005 “The Phantom of the Opera,” is there nothing this near god among men can’t do? This is the Scotsman who played Count Dracula in “Dracula 2000,” and helped save the President in “Olympus Has Fallen,” “London Has Fallen,” and “Angel Has Fallen.” Or at least in two of them he did- maybe in the third he saved an actual angel, or Morgan Freeman or something. Anyway, nothing will stop this man from being whoever he wants, in…
