So much so, it’s the reason we’ve not heard a peep out of his plans for a previously announced trilogy of Star Wars movies other than that he’d really like to keep doing them. But Johnson isn’t just down for some more movies.It what feels like the seven million years since the release of The Last Jedi in 2017, a combination of the culture war harassment firestorm around…

Elon Musk is acting on his vow to rethink permanent bans on Twitter users. Twitter has reinstated the accounts of three controversial users, including conservative satire site Babylon Bee, conservative author (and former YouTube personality) Jordan Peterson and comedian Kathy Griffin.

Over the weekend, it appears the billionaire was not amused when comedian Kathy Griffin changed her name to “Elon Musk” and swapped her profile picture to one of his. Griffin mocked him and began encouraging people to vote for democrats, which got her banned by…

Kathy Griffin continued to troll Elon Musk on Twitter overnight Sunday after he banned her from his newly acquired social media company, resurrecting her dead mother’s Twitter account to call the billionaire a “hack,” and worse, helping to foment a backlash against his claim of making Twitter a bastion of free speech. The Twitter accounts of Griffin, Sarah Silverman, “Mad Men” actor Rick Silver and others were suspended Sunday for changing their usernames and photos to match Musk’s, the Daily Beast reported. As a faux…

Comedian Kathy Griffin becomes the latest Twitter casualty, as her account got suspended after Twitter CEO Elon Musk rolled out that handles engaged in 'impersonation' without clearly specifying "parody" will be suspended permanently. Griffin had changed her profile name to Musk, following which she seems to have been promptly banned from the social media site, as per Fox…

A resurfaced interview featuring Hocus Pocus 2 star Kathy Najimy has gone viral for its relevant message nearly 30 years later.In the interview clip that’s been making the rounds on TikTok, Najimy appeared on the Today show back in 1993 to promote the film’s original instalment, Hocus Pocus. While speaking with co-anchor Katie Couric, Najimy addressed her initial hesitation about taking on the role of Mary Sanderson because she “didn’t want to offend or stereotype real witches.”“At the risk of having America roll their…

Someone must have put some sort of time-warp spell on all of us because it is hard to believe that nearly three decades have passed since Hocus Pocus was first released in theaters. It is even harder to believe that a sequel to the spooky, funny cult classic is now available with a Disney+ subscription.While it is great to see Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker on the Hocus Pocus 2 cast reprising their roles as the Sanderson Sisters, as well as Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson, a part of us wishes that we…

Though he’d been in plenty of films before then, playing Poe Dameron put him on everyone’s radar, to the point where he’s become a Marvel superhero and him coming to Comic-Con is considered a Big Deal.And now that the sequel trilogy of Star Wars films are behind him, Isaac’s more open to the idea of him and his ethnic hips returning to the sci-fi universe. Not long after the release of 2019's…

But would you make a better backroom boy or globetrotting spy? catwhowalksbyitselfI like to think a better globetrotting spy because I have a sense of adventure, curiosity, don’t mind risk-taking and I love travel. I did have to prepare for quite a few months beforehand to get my head around all the mathematics. So I went to visit this professor at Cambridge, and spent time…
