Nettie’s House of Spaghetti in Tinton Falls, New Jersey will no longer allow children under 10 in the dining room. When Nettie’s posted the statement, it left some cheering while others are sharpening their pitchforks. “We love kids. We really, truly, do,” Nettie’s says. Despite the instance that they love children, the restaurant claims it has simply become too challenging to accommodate them. They cite “noise levels, lack of space for high chairs, cleaning up crazy messes, and the liability of kids running around the restaurant,” as reasons for this decision. “It’s become a liability to us – kids running…

RLJE Films and horror streaming service Shudder have blessed us with a trailer for their “Children of The Corn” remake. The Kurt Wimmer-directed killer kid film was shot during the early days of the pandemic in 2020.

It will also be the first entry since 2018’s “Children of the…

This particular location’s cast voted to unionize in November of 2022, joining the American Guild of Variety Artists.

She also fittingly plays the Queen in the shows.  The workers are striking against Medieval Times due to…

Well, 2023 may just be the year of movies about animals on drugs. Elizabeth Banks, director and star of the upcoming film “Cocaine Bear” is apparently open to maybe making a sequel, “Cocaine Shark.” The phrase “cocaine shark” started trending earlier this month. This was due to a wave of memes linking the New Zealand Police seizing 3.5 tons of the illicit substance from the Pacific Ocean to Bank’s new horror comedy. This all seemed to culminate in a poll posted on AMC Theater’s official Twitter, asking fans to choose between a cocaine bear and a cocaine shark. Bear won…

Amazon Prime released a very creepy teaser trailer for their upcoming series “Swarm.” The show is co-created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabers who previously teamed up on the series “Atlanta.” “Swarm” stars Dominique Fishback as Dre, a young woman whose obsession with a Beyoncé-esque pop star takes a dark turn. In the teaser trailer, we see Fishback in several disjointed scenes one, in particular, features her mopping up a lot of blood. This is all backed by a voice asking over and over again “Who is your favorite artist?” The series will also star Chloe x Halle singer Chloe…

Jason Derulo headlined the TikTok Tailgate, a pre-Super Bowl show, alongside The Black Keys. His performance is raising some serious questions that no one expected to ask today. Namely, why is he dancing with robot dogs? Yes, the singer/songwriter was busting a move on stage next to human and robotic K-9 dancers. Derulo’s performance happened right outside of the State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Super Bowl LVII featured the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Kansas City Chiefs to determine who is best at sports ball. (Kansas City won, 38-35). During his performance, Derulo and a skilled team of human backup dancers…

Earlier this year, Ben Affleck and his wife, singer/actress Jennifer Lopez, were spotted at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Medford, Massachusetts. This didn’t seem odd really. We all know about the actor/director’s love of the chain. The oddness came from the fact that Affleck was working the drive-thru. Customers were surprised and delighted to see him handing them their orders.  As predicted, the whole thing was for a Super Bowl spot with the couple. Affleck takes orders while praising the company’s quality and price point. “How can it be this inexpensive and good,” he ponders over the loudspeaker. Then the customers…

Other actresses considered for the film included Sybil Danning, Faye Dunaway, Barbara Carrera, Persis Khambatta, Susie Coelho, Barbara Parkins, and Kathleen Turner. “My agents had me meet with [producers] the Broccoli family, and I’m going, ‘I’m not available,’” Grier said. “They looked at me and said, ‘Well, why are you here?’ I go, ‘I don’t know. My agent told me to come meet.'” By this point in her career, she had already done 1973’s…
