Roast

via Warner Bros./Universal The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been coming under fire throughout Phase Four for its substandard CGI, which also happens to be coinciding with a number of visual effects artists speaking out on adverse working conditions, and we’d be foolish to think the two aren’t related in some way. Of course, underwhelming digital creations have become a regular blight on the good name of cinema since James Cameron and Steven Spielberg kicked the doors open in the early 1990s with Terminator 2:…

via Warner Bros. Discovery After the back-to-back pieces of news that Warner Bros Discovery would be canceling the Batgirl movie, despite it being almost complete, and that the company would also be paring down original content for streaming service HBO Max, fans are dunking on the perceived dumpster fire that is the newly-merged company. All of these controversies also coincided with an investor Q&A this week, making for a very ominous-looking stock graph. Another pop culture fanatic likened the situation…

via Warner Bros. Marvel unquestionably won out when it came to the battle of the superhero universes at this July’s Comic-Con, and it wasn’t even close. While the House of Ideas unveiled basically their full slate of movies and TV shows through 2025, DC dropped… new trailers for Black Adam and Shazam! 2. Fans were crushed by the disappointing display, and they haven’t let Warner Bros. forget it ever since. In fact, the most exciting reveal of the month for DC lovers came courtesy of Jason Momoa’s Instagram,…

The UK recorded temperatures rising above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time in its 350 years of climate records. The searing heatwave is unprecedented in a country that’s used to much cooler summer weather and is a bellwether of more extremes to come. The heat is so bad that it’s buckled an airport runway, forcing London Luton Airport to temporarily suspend flights on Monday. Rail services across parts of the UK ground to a halt as tracks also buckled or overheated, and overhead cables…

Because they've worked together for nearly a decade now, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart have cultivated a rapport most on-screen duos can only hope to have. Their friendship has also also seen Hart and Johnson hilariously rip on each other, with the press tour for their most recent collaboration, DC League of Super-Pets, being the latest example of they can throw A+ insults at each other. While Johnson does get his digs in, Hart's top-notch trolling and comedic timing have been unmatched. Nothing is off limits, even the…

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Kevin Hart have become the unlikely movie duo Hollywood and viewers never knew they needed. The two movie stars have proven they are a winning formula with successes like Central Intelligence and the Jumanji franchise. Of course, their onscreen chemistry has translated into a true Hollywood bromance. Part of being Hollywood BFFs has been the consistent roasting between The Rock and Hart both on and offline. Despite roasting each other often, the comedian opened up about why the co-stars keep…

via Marvel Comics Even though the project boasts a hugely talented director in J.C. Chandor, an accomplished headlining star in Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and an impressively eclectic supporting cast, the mere presence of Sony looming in the background has fans feeling apprehensive about Kraven the Hunter‘s chances of success. The ideal scenario is that we get something a lot less like Morbius and a lot more like Venom, but it’s impossible to predict given the studio’s regularly misguided handling of its marquee…

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures DC fans are poking fun at some old promo photos of Christian Bale from his days as the Dark Knight in Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed trilogy of films. “The Bat-Bale promo pics are something else…” was the caption for a series of images posted by Reddit user u/Wasteland_GZ on the r/DC_Cinematic subreddit. Rather than looking heroic, many of the poses look stilted and awkward, including one in which Bale is clearly straining to crane his head upward, perhaps pointing to the images…

via Netflix Netflix’s original action movies are always guaranteed to do decent numbers in their first weekends, because it’s the ideal time for subscribers to kick back, relax, and watch some old fashioned running and gunning without having to engage their brains. Interceptor brings the bullets this week, but the B-tier genre flick is being burned to the ground online. Elsa Pataky headlines as Captain J.J. Collins, a decorated military officer sent to a remote missile interception station in the middle of the…
