During Kurt Russell’s acting retrospective for GQ, the famed actor gave his thoughts on the ever-constant debate of which survivor is the Thing at the end of John Carpenter’s The Thing. During the shoot, what would be shown of the divisive ending was a matter of contention even for Carpenter himself, who now swears he’s the only one who knows who the Thing is—even though director of photography Dean Cundey has claimed the answer is in the eyes of the final two left standing.Spoilers of the Week: July 22ndSo who does…

“This kid thinks he can do that?”Image: io9The Last Starfighter is Hollywood’s white whale. The 1984 film about a young man who is recruited to defend a planet because of his video game skills was decades ahead of its time and, in recent years, has been the frequent subject of speculation and excitement. It seems everyone in Hollywood has attempted to bring the story back to life and there’s even been talk, and development, of a possible sequel that would do just that.'Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police' | AI…

S trong jaw. Flowing hair. Megawatt smile. Effortless charisma. It’s not very difficult to see the resemblance between Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt. Kurt, 72, got his start as a child actor on TV before becoming one of Disney’s biggest contract stars in his teens — and a personal favorite of Walt Disney’s, who viewed him as “the son he never had” — a pro baseball prospect in the Seventies, an Eighties cult film icon with Escape from New York and The Thing, and then a bona fide Hollywood movie star in…

It doesn’t have to be the case that a monster movie has great action and truly turgid human drama between the setpieces, but that’s largely been the case for Legendary’s Godzilla reboot, the “Monsterverse.” Sometimes the action being so fun can tip the odds against some truly stupid human beings—see King of the Monsters; and sometimes it can’t—see Godzilla vs. Kong. But Apple TV+’s unlikely spinoff series Monarch might be the first Monsterverse entry that finds a symbiotic balance of both.What Inspired Dominic Monaghan's…

It started so simply. In 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, Dom Toretto’s crew of street racers/thieves were stealing combination DVD/VCR players. In 2021’s F9: The Fast Saga, Dom and his friends—excuse me, Dom and his family—had to save the world by recovering a device that could hack into every computer on the planet. The franchise has been down a very long road, but one that will come to an end with next month’s Fast X and its conclusive sequel. So if you haven’t been watching their journey, is it worth jumping into the…

Two of the things that have fans most excited for the return of Fast and Furious are the additions of Jason Momoa and Brie Larson. Aquaman and Captain Marvel add some major star power (and, in Larson’s case, Oscar-caliber acting) to a franchise that’s already jam-packed with talent. However, since both actors are coming into Fast X seemingly out of nowhere, there was plenty of speculation as to who they’d be playing.Would their characters be related to Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto, or maybe Brian (the late Paul Walker)?
