George Lucas’ Childhood Visit to Disneyland Proved To Be Eerily Ironic

Photo by Taylor Hill/FilmMagic On July 17, 1955, a new theme park called Disneyland finally opened to the public for the first time after years of anticipation. In fact, the opening aired on ABC as Walt Disney himself helped viewers take a mini-tour through the theme park. The next day, a kid named George Lucas — who just turned 11 years old — visited the park with his parents and offered a critique. Little did he know at the time, his imagination would help create one of the most popular areas the park has ever…

An Infamous Horror Brutally Hacked to Pieces Lived up to Its Ironic Billing

via Miramax It’s a crying shame that the only way in which 2005’s horror comedy Cursed lived up to its potential was by fully embracing its moniker and serving as the basis for one of the most notoriously cursed productions in modern Hollywood history. The genre-bending lycanthropic lark boasted a stacked array of talent on either side of the camera, a top-notch high concept, and an eager audience awaiting to see some brand new werewolf magic. In the end, though, the grubby fingerprints of Harvey Weinstein ended…

In an ironic move, job portal Indeed fires thousands of employees

Following another round of firings from Meta, Google, Amazon and other tech giants, popular job portal has announced that it has laid off 2,200 employees, or 15 percent of its workforce. The job cut was announced by an 'heartbroken' Indeed CEO Chris Hyams in a blog post late on Wednesday in which he wrote, “We anticipate we will be letting approximately 2,200 people go. This is roughly 15 percent of our team. The specific decisions on who and where to cut were extremely difficult, but they were made with great…

Masquerade: The Lives of Noël Coward by Oliver Soden review – the man in the ironic mask | Biography books

As a 12-year-old child actor, Noël Coward featured in a dance number at the Savoy theatre in London playing the part of a mushroom. A photograph of him in his fungal finery – “grey silk skin tights, a large grey silk hat like a gargantuan muffin, and a diaphanous frill round my middle” – was put on display by his proud mother at whichever house the family were billeted in. It was perhaps the only picture in the son’s long career that he told his mother not to show when distinguished visitors called.The tension between…

The Rock Likens Success to Piloting a Spaceship, Ironic When Black Adam Could Fly

via Warner Bros. Having attempted to move on from the failure of Black Adam, which appears to involve rewriting the history books by claiming he wasn’t planning to make himself the focus of his own corner of the DCU despite voluminous evidence to the contrary, Dwayne Johnson has focused his attention elsewhere. The most jacked energy drink salesman on the planet has instead pivoted towards shilling his ZOA brand to the masses, because nothing compensates for the failure to launch a superhero franchise than…

Gerard Butler’s Plan to Be ‘The Tom Hanks of Action’ Hits an Ironic Snag

Having been dubbed “The King of the B-Movie,” a title he’s spent well over a decade earning, it was a little surprising to hear Gerard Butler admit that he was just as humiliated as he was disappointed with being anointed as the reigning monarch of the mid-budget runner and gunner. In the Scotsman’s own words, he’d much rather be “the Tom Hanks of action movies,” which makes it all the more ironic that Butler’s new adrenaline-fueled escapade Plane is being handily defeated at the box office by mild-mannered drama A Man…

A Landmark Horror So Bad It’s Awesome Fully Embraces Its Ironic Infamy

Stephen King has seen dozens upon dozens of his works adapted for the big and small screens, and during that period he’s written a fair few of the screenplays, penned one original story exclusively for live-action, and made countless cameos. However, he’s only ever directed a feature film once, and Maximum Overdrive swore him off the idea of ever doing it again. The sci-fi horror comedy cratered at the box office by failing to even sell enough tickets to recoup the $9 million budget, and it was burned to the ground by…
