The One Sequel in a Saga Cursed by Reboots Endures as a Time Capsule

via 20th Century Fox Consistent inconsistency might be an oxymoronic term, but it perfectly sums up everything fans of the Predator franchise have had to endure since the classic 1987 original, with Stephen Hopkins’ cult favorite 1990 follow-up the only true sequel in a sci-fi saga that’s spawned no less than seven movies. Even Paul W.S. Anderson’s turgid crossover Alien vs. Predator was discarded when woeful successor Requiem rolled around, while Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal’s Predators was a standalone…

Pong’s influence on video games endures 50 years later

A game that is easy to learn, but difficult to master. This was the concept Atari founder Nolan Bushnell instilled into Allan Alcorn, a then-24-year-old engineer, prior to the development of one of the most recognizable games of all time, Pong, just over 50 years ago. Pong, a video game in which a square is bounced between two rectangles controlled by players, was released on November 29th of 1972 by Atari, only a few days more than 50 years ago. Atari sold more than 8,000 Pong arcade cabinets, and a few years later, the…

A Completely Bizarre Horror Sequel Endures as a Cult Favorite

Image: Universal Some film franchises go to utterly bizarre new areas as the sequels roll on, but few can boast a threequel as strange and out of line with the franchise as one of horror’s staples. Halloween III: Season of the Witch is cult classic nowadays, almost beloved entirely because of its complete indifference to the two films which came before it. Instead of following a sinister slasher going around a town on Halloween night, it focuses on an evil corporation using shards of Stonehenge in their toys to…
