THREE DAYS AFTER HER former father-in-law, Vernon Presley, died in June of 1979, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley sat in a downtown Memphis office and tried to comprehend the sobering news she had just heard: Without drastic action, everything that Elvis Presley had left their daughter, Lisa Marie, could be lost. Even his beloved home, Graceland.Joseph A. Hanks, the Presley family accountant since 1969, is a conservative, soft-spoken man not given to dramatics. But the facts he had just outlined for Priscilla spoke for…

When it comes to the MCU, the theories and speculation are as much fun as the on-screen action, possibly more so in light of Phase Four. Now a Reddit hot take is making us rethink what happened to Ikaris in Eternals. Last we saw Ikaris, he turned heel on his fellow Eternals, murdering Ajax and ready to kill the lot of them when he felt guilty and flew into the sun. That’s precisely what many viewers wanted to do as well after seeing the movie, so there’s a little envy in his bursting into flames.  Is he really gone,…

| Seaguy was planned as a three-volume comic book miniseries written by Grant Morrison with art by Cameron Stewart and published by DC/Vertigo. A comic book series about a powerless superhero in a scuba suit, with his sidekick Chubby Da Choona, a talking, cigar-smoking tuna fish. The first volume was published in 2004, the second, Seaguy: The Slaves of Mickey Eye, in 2009. The third, Seaguy Eternal was never seen. Until now. In yesterday's Substack newsletter, Grant Morrison promises a final return to Seaguy Eternal, of…

Kenji Kamiyama writes and directs this diverting anime fantasy-thriller, set in Tokyo. Suzushiro (voiced by Soma Saito) is a troubled boy who after a traumatic time at high school has arrived in Tokyo on a journalism scholarship; this is at an unspecified future time after some “great catastrophe”. (Perhaps most will think of Covid: I sense that is not what is being indicated.) He is supplementing his income by doing a glorified paper round, made more difficult because he has to collect subscription payments…

By Jake Coyle | Associated Press A gentle and mournful spell is cast by Joanna Hogg’s “The Eternal Daughter,” a ghost story where memory is manifested – visited, intruded upon and, finally, made to glow. The film begins, enchantingly, with fog drifting through barren tree branches and a white taxi winding through a country road. The gothic mood is immediately cozily familiar. “The Eternal Daughter,” set entirely in a creaky country manor, is very consciously working in a genre tradition, but from a very personal angle.…

Horror might be the only genre where the best movies often tend to fly so far under the radar barely nobody even notices they exist until it’s too late, with the $1.4 million box office haul brought in by Rose Glass’ striking Saint Maud making it the latest in a never-ending line of spooky sensations that find a huge audience long after their initial theatrical release. Mike Flanagan, who knows a thing or two about atmospheric chills having become one of horror’s most famed modern auteurs, couldn’t speak highly enough of…

A new development in the ongoing Doom controversy Last week, video game composer Mick Gordon issued a lengthy statement detailing his side of the behind-the-scenes details of Doom Eternal‘s soundtrack. Today, Bethesda issued its response. In Gordon’s post, the composer alleges that id Software failed to pay him for part of the game’s soundtrack. He also specifically cites executive producer Marty Stratton’s letter from 2020 as a statement full of “lies, disinformation, and innuendo.” Issues arose after fans noted sound…

Everyone loves a fun round of Mario Party. While this classic board game was a hit on the N64, it hasn't been easily accessible to people who don't have, or don't want to hook up, that aging console. Now, thanks to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion pass service, this seminal game that spawned one of the best party game series is widely available in its original form. Not only that, but it will finally allow players to compete online in addition to locally. When you first boot up a fresh file of Mario Party,…

This review contains spoilers for Below Ambition, and pretty much every other Megahex book (and the Crisis Zone 2022 Action Calendar). In Below Ambition, the relationship between Megg the witch and Werewolf Jones takes the main stage, framed through their participation in their band Horse Mania. Devoted readers of the work of Simon Hanselmann will already be familiar with the band, but not to the degree or depth that this deceptively slim volume digs in. Crisis Zone As comparisons are inevitable, let’s get it out of the…
