Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst wants to FIX some f**king stuff tonight! And by stuff, we mean Twitter. Earlier this week, Durst tagged Twitter CEO Elon Musk to offer help from either himself or his bandmates. The internet’s reaction is simultaneously confused but down for that level of chaos.  After Musk purchased the social media platform for $44 billion in October, it has been a string of strange and damaging choices. He has already laid off approximately 75% of the staff, including some just days before Christmas. The irresistible troll bait that was the blue check paid subscription model, which…

HBO has finally set a 2023 release date for Mindy Kaling’s animated series “Velma,” a spin-off of the long running “Scooby-Doo” series. While the original “Scooby-Doo” series is family and kid-friendly, Kaling’s version will be more adult-oriented. The show will be a humorous spin on the series that will unmask the complex and colorful past of one of America’s favorite mystery solvers. “Velma” will tell the origin story of Velma Dinkley (Kaling), the undisputed brains behind the Mystery Inc. gang.

Disney’s upcoming live-action version of “The Little Mermaid,” has garnered some strong opinions from movie goers. The original 1989 animated film is based on a classic Hans Christian Andersen tale. It tells the story of a girl who gives up everything to be with a man she has just met. A concept that has aged like milk for many modern-day viewers. “The Little Mermaid” will be directed by Rob Marshall, who feels the story is suited for a more modern interpretation. “The character goes back to Hans Christian Andersen from another century, but at the same time, even in 1989,…

“Evil Dead Rise” director Lee Cronin promises fans all the blood and carnage we expect from an “Evil Dead” film. Since its inception in 1981, the franchise has been known for its blend of gore and undead violence. While the 1st three entries focus much more on “splat stick” style horror by blending gore with Ash Williams’ (Bruce Campbell) very physical slapstick style of comedy. A style that carried on to the show “Ash vs The Evil Dead.” The 2013 remake from Fede Álvarez took a far more serious approach to the Sam Raimi-created universe, but it still kept the…

Director James Cameron may try to relaunch the “Terminator” film franchise once again. This may come as a shock to some considering 2019’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” underperformed. To say the least. Despite all the hype, “Dark Fate” reportedly caused a loss of roughly $122.6 million. It’s a shame, considering it saw the return of several core cast members from “Terminator” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” Linda Hamilton came back to play Sarah Connor, as did Edward Furlong as John Connor. Even the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, returned for the 2019 revival. Which is something the director now thinks contributed to…
