From the late-'90s up to the early '00s, characters from smaller publishers like Malibu Comics and Image Comics felt just as likely to show up on TV as anyone from the more familiar DC and Marvel crews. While plenty of folks vaguely recall the "Witchblade" series on TNT, Sara Pezzini's short tenure on cable television isn't ridiculous enough to qualify for this list. "Night Man," however, is a different matter. "Night Man" is based on the Malibu character of the same name, originally created by Steve…

At one time, Mark Rylance hadn’t been aware of the real-life story of the worst golfer in the history of the British Open. But when a screenplay about Maurice Flitcroft, a shipyard crane operator who managed to enter the Open in 1976 despite never playing a single round of golf, came his way, well, that was not something the Oscar-winning actor was going to pass up. “The appeal was the appeal of Don Quixote, or a little bit of that character in ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ that Jimmy Stewart plays,” Rylance says on a video…

Image via Disney The Star Wars online fandom is never short on embarrassing hot takes, but the latest horrible reaction to Disney and Lucasfilm’s public declaration of solidarity with actor Moses Ingram in the wake of her treatment by racist trolling really takes the entire Hutt-sized horrible cake. A contingent of galactic sea lions is trying to “whatabbout” Ingram’s situation with the firing of conspiracy theorist Gina Carano. Y'all. There are bad takes, and then there are the 'Gina Carano and Moses Ingram…

Anyone who’s ever had access to an unfortunately placed mirror will know that sex rarely looks good. But you would think Hollywood might be able to make it appear so. Actors are hot. Editing means no awkward position reshuffles. Cinematographers make lighting soft and flattering.But so often it feels as though the makers of MILF and “I’ve been a bad girl” cheerleader porn provide a more nuanced presentation of sex than some of the most talented directors out there.To make you feel better about your presumably non-existent…

Images via Dreamworks Animation fans are at war as they determine which Dreamworks animated film has to get the boot. On top of that, three sequels have been put forward, and it’s all-out carnage. This all started when Twitter user @wwwinco started a “one has to go” animation thread. In the thread are multiple animation films fighting it out in different categories. There are Disney films, Pixar, Anime, Illumination studios, etc. Then came the “Dreamworks epic sequel” category. For those who are out of the…

One way that "Batman Begins" distinguishes itself from other Hollywood blockbusters is in its surprisingly deft use of themes — deeper messages that recur throughout the story that go beyond the literal plot. There are several themes in "Batman Begins," but the most richly explored one is probably best summarized as "fear is a powerful force which can be wielded as a powerful weapon." We see the first hints of this theme when young Bruce falls into a well and is attacked by a swarm of bats, leading him to…

You make me wish I had three hands I have a history with Total Recall on NES. Not only has it been frequently trashed by everyone I’ve ever looked up to, but it also soured my early retro gaming experience. We had an NES growing up, but my family sold it for an SNES while I was still too young to care. I reacquired one when I was a teenager and it came with potentially the worst assortment of games I could have started with: Kid Icarus, Castlevania 2, and Total Recall. It would be years later that Punch-Out!! and River…
