In 1982, ABC first aired the crime spoof-comedy series “Police Squad! “ starring Leslie Nielsen. The series got axed after 6 episodes, but in 1988, it spawned the first “The Naked Gun” film. It sounds like we’re about to get a brand new take on the film, as Paramount Pictures has confirmed a reboot is on the way. Who will play Lt. Frank Drebin, you ask? Why none other than Liam Neeson (“Taken”). [Editor’s note: Liam is kind of the perfect choice for the straight man character, as you can see from this clip from Ricky Gervais’ “Life’s Too Short.”]…

Willy’s Chocolate Experience invited customers to “embark on a journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises at every turn!” It was…

We bet you didn’t have the discovery of a mythical being on your 2024 bingo card. An international team of scientists has unearthed a 240-million-year-old aquatic reptile fossil with an extremely long neck with snake-like features. Making it bear more than a passing resemblance to the mythical Chinese Dragon.   The fossil recovered belongs to a dinocephalosaurus orientalis, a being first discovered in 2003. These animals often grew to more than 16 feet and lived in the ocean during China’s Triassic period. Their necks contain an astounding 32 separate vertebrae, and their flippered limbs made them wonderfully adapted for a water-based…

There is no shortage of Disney properties that have issues with things like derogatory language toward marginalized populations. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has announced that “Mary Poppins” will have its rating changed in the UK due to this. Specifically due to two scenes that use the very outdated racial slur “Hottentots.”  History of The Word Back when European colonizers first went to Africa they used the term to describe the Khoikhoi, an indigenous group from the Southwestern region. The word was used as a crude imitation of the Khoikhoi’s language, which featured clicks. The term eventually fell…

Horror legend Doug Bradley is best known for playing Pinhead in Clive Barker’s 1987 film “Hellraiser,” and seven of its sequels. Even though he has not dawned the latex since 2005’s “Hellworld,” he would still be willing to return as a darker, older version of the character. “I certainly never say never. I’ve never said I was done with it. I’ve never said I’m retired from it,” Bradley told Bloody Disgusting. “I’m sensible about these things, too. I was in my mid-30s when I first played the character, and I was just turning 50 when I played him the last…

Have you ever wanted to see Bill Skarsgård (“The Crow”) go on a rampage while voiced by H. John Benjamin (“Bob’s Burgers”)? Well, you’re in luck!

AI has been a hot button issue the past few years, being at the center of debates about art theft and a huge part of both SAG and WGA’s strikes. In early December, Google decided to throw its hat into the AI ring with Gemini, formally known as Bard. The goal was to compete against OpenAI’s ChatGPT software that skyrocketed in popularity in late 2022. But apparently in trying to address the issues it competition has, Google made some blunders that led to Gemini generating pictures of Black and Asian nazi soldiers.  On February 23rd, Google apoligized for the offensive images…
