Courteney Cox Refuses to be Drawn on what the Future Holds after Scream VI

Screengrab via Youtube Scream VI is a statement of intent that the franchise is stepping up a gear. While tricksy whodunnits have always undercut Ghostface’s deadly ways with a knife, the killer’s got ambition.  Leaving Woodsboro for the first time in the franchise’s sixth installment, the slasher is stepping on the toes of other horror icons. With the tagline “New York, new rules,” it’s clear that the killer who’s always worked in smaller circles is following in the footsteps of forward-thinking killers like…

Nightwing’s butt to be drawn by Nicola Scott in DC’s Titans series

DC Comics is promising a new day with Dawn of DC, the company’s 2023 publishing initiative, set to deliver new updates for heroes and easy jumping on points for readers around the DC Universe. But the company’s latest announcement is sure to please long-time fans as well: Nicola Scott will draw the new Titans series. Which means she gets to draw Nightwing’s butt again. It’s unofficial but extremely winked-at lore in DC Comics that Dick Grayson, née Robin, now Nightwing, grew up to have one of the tightest butts in…

Streaming Users Drawn to a Stupid Actioner With Eyes on Reigniting War

The lawless world of VOD action movies is a strange place, one where you’ll find the most unhinged concepts you’re ever likely to lay eyes on, and many of them end of spawning franchises. Sadly, those with a soft spot for a sprinkling of science fiction over their silly shoot ’em ups were not fortunate enough to see 2013’s Ice Soldiers give rise to a slew of sequels. The title is both completely on-the-nose and yet somewhat vague at the same time, which pretty neatly sums up the sense of silliness (intentional or…

Interview: An Yu, Author, Ghost Music – “I am drawn to the secrecy of mushrooms”

Your debut novel, Braised Pork, had an intimate connection to the dish. Your new novel has exotic mushrooms as the dominant ingredient. What do the mushrooms signify? I am immensely drawn to the secrecy of mushrooms. They live and thrive in the dark. Societies have always used fungi for different purposes — in healing, killing, entertainment, spirituality, the list goes on. I spent much time going through research and writing related to fungi, but there is still so much we don’t know about these things. The way they…

A Reclusive Thriller Dunked on by Critics Is Drawn Out of Hiding to Become a Streaming Obsession

via Paramount Guy Pearce is a very good actor that’s lent his talents to a number of phenomenal movies and box office smash hits over the decades, but he’s also does a sideline in forgettable B-tier thrillers that regularly get dunked on by critics, with this year’s The Infernal Machine the latest to be added to the collection. In fairness, a 44 percent Rotten Tomatoes score isn’t all that bad, but the consensus indicates that the obsessive psychological thriller is a hugely derivative ripoff of countless…
