McCurdy was born in 1880 near Bangor, Maine, to the well-to-do McCurdy family. His mother, Sadie, was 17 and unwed. Elmer’s father is unknown. At that time, being an illegitimate child came with a rack of ostracization and stigma. So, seeing no future in Maine, he headed west as soon as he could. By 1910, Elmer found himself in Oklahoma with no…

Discovery removed seasons 16-31 of “Looney Tunes.” These make up 256 of the 511 episodes that had been hosted on the streaming platform. So about half of the iconic series got cut, and we’ll never know if it’s duck or rabbit season.

Filmmaker James Wan (“The Conjuring”) and Jason Blum have teased some interesting ideas. The duo is in the process of a merger between Wan’s Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions. When asked if the success of “Malignant” was a driving force behind the merger, Blum responded, “It’s always a motivating factor for me. I get very nervous anytime James does a scary movie without me. I get very upset.” “Malignant” was produced by New Line Cinema and Atomic Monster. The pair are currently collaborating with Universal to produce the Gerard Johnstone (“Housebound”) directed killer doll/AI movie, “M3gan.” But one of the…

Television presenter and host Andy Cohen will indeed be drinking during CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast. This will be Cohen’s 6th year hosting the telecast alongside Anderson Cooper, and the pair’s drunken antics have become tradition. With many tuning in solely to see the duo get more and more inebriated.  But this got Cohen into a bit of hot water last year when he went all “Mean Girls” on Ryan Seacrest and ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” as well as iconic rock band Journey. While on air, Cohen said “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers that are performing behind us.” Adding…

Which is the white cheddar mac ‘n cheese topped with chopped chicken nuggets, bacon, and parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce. This dish got a wider release after successful taste tests earlier this year. The second new…

With January 1st fast approaching, it’s time to start making New Year’s resolutions. Goals pertaining to people’s health like losing weight, quitting smoking, etc. are among the most common. A 2021 study showed that approximately 64% of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions by the end of January. Well, Halo Top may have a solution to help people reach their fitness resolutions, by giving them free ice cream. While that may sound counterproductive, Halo Top is a low-calorie, high-protein ice cream. And while no ice cream is healthy, you could do a lot worse than this for a…

Thanks to his successful collaborations with Lionsgate on “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” and “Clerks III,” the company is hungry for more. “‘We sold so many copies of ‘Jay & Silent Bob Reboot’ on DVD and Blu-ray that if you have any more of this Jay and Silent Bob bullshit and you can make it for under eight million dollars, we’ll totally do it,” Smith told the GalaxyCon audience. “And I was like, ‘I am filled with nothing but Jay and Silent Bob bullshit!’.” The plot…

It is no secret “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” had to undergo extensive rewrites after the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman. Writer/director Ryan Coogler recently opened up about what he originally envisioned for the film and Boseman’s Black Panther. The script was originally written to be a father and son story about T’Challa getting to know his son with Nakia, Toussaint.

Because of this, the original script for “Wakanda Forever” opened on an animated sequence where Toussaint’s mother Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) asks him what…
