Whether it’s The Flash speeding headfirst into disaster, its CEO becoming the perpetual media industry villain of the week, or HBO Max’s troubled relaunch as simply Max. But! A small glimmer of good news.Andrew Callaghan Talks 'This Place Rules' It’s mostly that it’s fixing another headache of its own making, though. Max’s recent relaunch saw credits on the streamer condensed…

It’s easy to see the commercial allure of Apple’s pre-summer mockbuster Ghosted, the package: a snappy buzzword title, an idea from the Deadpool team later fleshed out by some Marvel writers, a big, sexy star pairing proved on screen twice before, an action-comedy-romance hybrid designed to appeal to the widest possible audience. One can only imagine the enthused high-fives that took place in some cold, pristine LA boardroom when it was given the green light. But it’s utterly impossible to see the appeal of Ghosted, the…

Henry Cavill is without a doubt a major star and recognizable name, but it would be hard to justifiably call him a certified action hero, at least based on the evidence presented repeatedly throughout his career. Sure, he was officially the DCU’s Superman for close to a dozen years after first being announced as the latest incumbent of the costume in January 2011, but Man of Steel was his sole stint in the spotlight. Swords-and-sandals fantasy blockbuster Immortals leaned more on its visuals than his performance, The Man…

An AI art generator reveals the future of cities like New York, Toronto, and England An AI art generator is not only for artistic image creation because now, it can be used to predict climate change and also the future of modern cities. Canada has developed a plan to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, along with many other countries, meaning they won’t produce more emissions than they can absorb from the atmosphere by that year. But what will happen if they don’t meet this goal? As world leaders descend on…

via Image Nation As the director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Poltergeist, Tobe Hooper gets an eternal pass from fans of the horror genre, and with good reason. Unfortunately, the last feature he helmed before his death in 2017 may have been the worst, not that you’d have known given the way Djinn was buried and sent out with no accompanying fanfare whatsoever. One of the first major productions to be funded by and shot in the United Arab Emirates, the Hollywood pedigree of Hooper returning to the world…

via Sony As technology continues to evolve at a rapid rate, countless sci-fi movies, TV shows, comic books, and novels that would have seemed far-fetched in the not-too-distant past have circled around to be prescient glances into something resembling a future we ended up living in. The Thirteenth Floor has evolved into one such film, but does it actually hold up?
