Few events in human history have been so well documented on live-television as the police chase. While it provides a sense of tension and drama, it also endangers the lives of others and puts their vehicles at risk as well. This was the case on Saturday, October 16th. Just to let you know in advance, yes, the horse is fine. The noble steed that was involved in the ignoble act was taken to the police station and well-treated. As for the person who was mounted, they have not been identified. No further details have been released as to whether it…

There have been many a tale of people seeing significant signs in unusual places. One of the more noteworthy ones is seeing the Virgin Mary in a piece of slightly burnt toast. Some call this a miracle, others call it face pareidolia, the ability to see faces in things that are decidedly not faces. Then there’s taking the time, energy, and resources to actually craft a face out of bread. In this particular case though, it’s not just a face being created, but an entire body. And to add another “bread” twist to it, it’s the body of Han Solo…
If there is one big name is survival-horror video games, it’s “Resident Evil.” If there are two, the second would be “Silent Hill.” Whereas the former Capcom title focuses on science-created zombies, the latter Konami franchise focuses on psychological horror and demonic entities. The contrast in themes helped make “Silent Hill” its own, very distinct, series and not just a knock-off of another popular game. Unfortunately for fans and the gaming world in general, Silent Hill has been dormant since 2014. Now though, Konami is hinting at some kind of revival via a “transmission” that will be coming in just…
In 1980, the team of Jim Abrahams and brothers David Zucker and Jerry Zucker scored a massive hit with the film “Airplane!.” It combined elements of satire and parody with deadpan performances, and a constant barrage of puns. The humor could range from low-class toilet humor, to slapstick, to deceptively smart. It also got them working with Leslie Nielsen who would later work with the ZAZ trio on “The Naked Gun” trilogy. While that franchise hasn’t seen another entry in nearly 30 years, it looks like it’s finally being rebooted, and starring an Irish actor with a “very particular set…
The juggernaut that is Marvel Studios is not immune to lingering effects of production delays. This is something clearly evident by the slew of changes the Disney-owned studio just announced. We’re probably not done seeing delays and release shakeups, so this isn’t truly surprising, but it does change things. “Blade” Marvel Studios’ daywalking vampire flick “Blade” is likely to be a slam-dunk of a hit. Especially considering how the previous Wesley Snipes-starring films have been fondly remembered in recent years. The film has hit a bit of a snag due to losing director Bassam Tariq,.due to scheduling conflicts. The production…
The Master of horror John Carpenter is a man of many talents. While he’s largely known for his directing and writing of horror films, he hasn’t actually directed a film since “The Ward” (2001). Hell, he hasn’t even written a film since “Ghosts of Mars.” The legend spends more time as a composer and musician these days. Instead of releasing films he’s been dropping albums, soundtracks, and EPs like a boss. When he’s not doing that, he’s investing time in one of his other favorite hobbies- video games. As we know, there’s a wee bit of an intersection between films…
If you don’t know how we feel about the sitcom “Frasier,” then you must be intentionally dodging our coverage at this point. We talk about that show a LOT here, and not just in articles. One of the most successful sitcoms of all time, and arguably the most successful spin-off of all time, the depth of our love for it shows no bounds. We’re not alone on this either. The number of “Frasier” memes that get tossed around the internet along with continued success in syndication and streaming could only mean one thing- a revival! Paramount+ gave the planned revival…
Sometimes a story can blow up in an unexpected way. About a month ago, Hans Niemann was accused of cheating during a chess match through ludicrous means. A Reddit joke that went too far claimed Neimann was using anal beads as a method of cheating. Specific buzzes for specific moves, etc.. Which turned out to be rather blown out of proportion. But, we knew there was something more substantive to this case. Turns out, we were right. Niemann’s rise to the upper echelons of the chess world were already a bit odd to some. It culminated in a tournament last…
Bruce Willis has been in the news quite a lot lately for some heartbreaking reasons. Earlier this year, he announced he was retiring from acting due to effects of aphasia. He’s spent decades performing in film and television, making a name for himself as a gruff and gritty action hero with surprising depth and nuance in dramatic roles. It didn’t start out that way though. His first major acting credit was in the 1985 comedy-mystery series “Moonlighting.” For five seasons, Willis, alongside co-star Cybil Shepherd, created headlines of their own with on-set controversy that has in some ways outlived the…
There have been a great number of bad ideas in the history of bad ideas. You have the Ford Edsel, the re-release of “Morbius,” double-decker airline seats, and sequels to Rob Schneider movies. If “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo” wasn’t enough of a horrible film for you, then there is great news because Schneider has decided to do a sequel to another one of his “hits” and believe you me, it’s one that no body every asked for. From 1999 to 2002, Schneider had a run of films he headlined that could best be described with the phrase, “I think I…
