But, some refreshing outliers to this matter just might be found playing in your local cinema. Indeed, we may never know it going in, but some of the best movies of the last decade are almost certainly destined to stand the test of time, or perhaps become…

In the MCU‘s 13th film overall, a disagreement over the international status of the Avengers causes a rift between the superhero team, dividing them into Team Iron Man — led by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) — and Team Captain America — led by Steve Rogers…

There have been plenty of amazing movies made over the many decades since the invention of the moving picture. However, truly great films, films that capture something profound, are not common occurrences. What makes a film exceptional comes down to many things, great direction, superb cinematography, emotionally charged music, and, of course, an astounding performance. An actor’s performance is what the audience is really looking for, they want to feel like they are stepping into another person’s story and you…

Diddy sparked a lot of debate last week, after he declared that R&B is “dead” during an Instagram Live with Timbaland. On Saturday, the mogul took to Twitter to clarify what he meant.“It’s been 3 days of debate… This is the clarity of the message… It’s not disrespect to anybody,” he tweeted. “This conversation was out of love and me purposely wanting to bring attention to R&B! It was something that I saw the effect of the Hip hop and R&B balance,” Diddy added.“That balance is honesty and realness when it comes…

Remix by Apeksha Bagchi There are many arguments in the MCU that have the power to divide its loyal fanbase, but nothing stirs the pot like a hypothetical battle for the ages. One such debate is whether Fox’s Magneto would be able to defeat Marvel Studio’s Iron Man. Would the self-proclaimed the genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist stand a chance against the powerful mutant who controls the very element his suits are made of? Of course, Magneto would dispel Iron Man in…

First and foremost, Rob Zombie is the founding member of the heavy metal band White Zombie, but he decided to try his hand at filmmaking, starting with House of 1000 Corpses, the controversial film that Zombie directed, wrote and co-scored in 2000 but wasn’t released until 2003. Reddit have mixed reviews on the…

There was a lot of hype when the first Star Wars prequel made it to theaters in May of 1999. People dressed up in costumes and stood in line for too long to go back to the universe far, far away. While the movie was a huge hit with kids, adult fans took umbrage with the slow storytelling and a seemingly unnecessary focus on politics, which included extended scenes featuring the senate of the Galactic Republic. Over on the subreddit r/StarWars, user Arvedui_Last_King sparked quite a debate when they said “The…

An activist investor’s suggestion this week that Walt Disney Co. DIS -1.84% spin off ESPN rekindled a long-running debate over what the company should do with a sports network that has been a major profit engine for years but whose subscriber base is eroding. Daniel Loeb’s Third Point LLC, which owns a small stake in the entertainment giant, told management in a letter Monday that there is a “strong case to be made” for Disney to part with…

via Warner Bros. There are many reasons to be worried about The Flash movie, and most of them involve its leading star, Ezra Miller. The Justice League actor finally appears to be taking a turn towards the better in the wake of months of increasingly troubled behavior, with Miller publicly announcing that they’ve begun seeking professional help. If Miller can get their act together over the following year, maybe the Scarlet Speedster’s solo movie could actually go by without a hitch. But it turns out that DC…

This week’s Discourse™ shines the spotlight on gaming chairs I have a confession: I’ve never owned a gaming chair, nor have I ever really felt the need to get a gaming chair (well, maybe except for the Hello Kitty x Razer collab, but that’s only because it’s Hello Kitty). For one thing, they’re always super expensive, and I’m trying to ball on a budget over here. I’ve also heard mixed things from my friends — for the most part, they say they’re not super comfortable, although my roommate loves that it’s nice and firm and…
