Director Rupert Sanders (“Ghost In The Shell” 2017) has headed the…controversial…remake of 1994 gothic cult classic, “The Crow.” The upcoming movie has already become a lightning rod for fan outrage. In a recent interview, Sanders assured fans that his adaptations will keep the spirit of the original and comic book. Based on graphic novelist James O’Barr, the first film adaption of “The Crow” was a cultural touchstone for many.

The highly anticipated series adaption of the “Horizon Zero Dawn” video game will not be moving forward at Netflix. This shift also affects the streamer’s original sci-fi series, “Orbital.” This news comes days after accusations against series developer Steve Blackman for creating a toxic workplace as a showrunner for “The Umbrella Academy” surfaced.

Rolling Stone, who broke the news, states; “…the two projects are no longer moving forward with Blackman.” This does imply that “Horizon Zero Dawn” and “Orbital” may…

Prime Video’s irreverent superhero series “The Boys” has entered the popcorn bucket wars with the raunchiest entry yet. As you’ll see- it’s a penis, just a big ol’ penis. We are assuming the hole to eat the popcorn out of is on the other side. War Of The Popcorn Buckets In March, “Dune: Part 2” was released along with a now iconic popcorn bucket. While the bucket was meant to resemble a sandworm from the books/movies, it also looked like a Fleshlight. This, of course, became a huge meme on the internet, with the movie’s cast even joining in on the…

Heat waves and the 4th of July weekend have Americans flocking to the beach. Unfortunately, many Massachusetts residents won’t be able to swim in the ocean due to dozens of beaches being closed. And no, there is no need for a bigger boat because it’s not due to a shark. [Even though “Jaws” was shot in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.] These closures are due to harmful bacteria levels. So basically Massachusetts traded “Jaws” for “Cabin Fever” or “The Crazies.” The state’s water quality dashboard lists dozens of beaches that will be closed for the holiday weekend. These locations include popular destinations…

In February, a stingray named Charlotte housed at the Aquarium & Shark Lab by Team ECCO made headlines when she became pregnant. An animal getting knocked up may not sound newsworthy, but here’s the thing- Charlotte had no access to male stingrays. So it was shocking when the 12-14 year-old stingray, was found carrying up to four pups.  Sadly, not only did her pregnancy not come to term. She also developed a rare reproductive disease, which caused her to pass away on June 30th. Charlotte’s Pregnancy There are two ways that Charlotte may have become pregnant without ever being exposed…
