Fireginacarano Mandalorian Star Compares Political Divide To Nazism

Carano re-shared the following post on her Instagram story late Tuesday night: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?...

Halston Trailer Netflix Ewan Mcgregor As Iconic Fashion Designer

Here’s the official description from Netflix: “The limited series ‘Halston’ follows the legendary fashion designer (Ewan McGregor), as he leverages his single, invented name into a worldwide fashion empire that’s synonymous with luxury, sex, status and fame, literally defining the era he lives in, 1970’s and ‘80’s New York — until a hostile takeover forces him to battle for control of his most precious asset… the name Halston itself.”...

House Of The Dragon Age Inconsistency Gets More Confusing Weekly

But you wouldn’t know it looking at some of them. There are characters who look unrecognizable from Episode 1 as well as new ones who have been introduced and recast faster than you can say “Which Aegon?” Still others are seemingly untouched by the passage of time. While certain recasting decisions make sense for the show’s timeline, others feel rushed and arbitrary, distracting from the central story. Not only are characters aging rapidly and inconsistently, but the actors portraying them aren’t always the same age as the character, adding another layer of potential confusion for the audience....

Ifans is playing Otto Hightower, the father of Cooke’s Alicent. Otto is the Hand of the King and “faithfully serves both his king and his realm.

Martin and USA Network’s “Colony” creator Ryan Condal, who is serving as showrunner of the series with Miguel Sapochnik....

House Of The Dragon Showrunners Birthing Scene Wasn T Too Violent

The creators behind “House of the Dragon” already promised the “Game of Thrones” prequel wouldn’t “shy away” from violence inflicted on women. But when it comes to childbirth? It seems the series didn’t even go as far as it could have. Viewers were stunned during the first episode for HBO’s “House of the Dragon” when Queen Aemma (Sian Brooke) is brutally cut open to save her unborn son, at the urging of King Viserys (Paddy Considine) who is desperate for a male heir....

Invincible Amazon Review A Hyper Violent Animated Superhero Show

How, exactly, the premiere incorporates its title is a) a pretty big spoiler, and b) integral to establishing the kind of show “Invincible” really is, behind its sunny color scheme and family-centric story. Kirkman’s adaptation is provocative, surprising, and sometimes challenging, as it constantly tries to disrupt the accepted ideas of its genre, whether that’s the superhero genre, the teen drama genre, or the misguided notion that animation is a genre unto itself....

Kiss The Ground Review Celeb Studded Doc On Fixing Climate Crisis

That’s not to say that a little pomp isn’t welcome, including narrator Woody Harrelson, who manages to straddle the line between “oh, a famous person!” and “well, here’s somebody who knows what they’re doing” in a way that other talking heads, including Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady, and Jason Mraz, can never quite manage. In his narration, Harrelson argues that most news, particularly when it comes to issues of climate change and the attendant political issues, “puts most of us in a state of paralysis....

Linoleum Review Jim Gaffigan Tries To Rocket Himself Out Of Crisis

For these reasons, “Linoleum” is difficult to pin down; the obfuscations and slippages that run through it seem just as likely to frustrate viewers as they might compel them. An astronomer with a Bill Nye-inspired children’s science program saddled in a moribund late-night slot, Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan) is just out for a bike ride when he dodges a red sports car that has suddenly fallen from the sky. He pulls the occupant from the wreckage — a man who, curiously, looks like a younger, more handsome version of him....

Then again, Gutiérrez is just getting started with what his wife and longtime collaborator Sandra Equihua calls the “Jorgeverse.” “We’ve been in the industry for 21 years just trying to make stuff,” Gutiérrez said. “I finally feel like we’re being trusted to make [what we want] in a way that reflects who we are....

Miss Scarlet And The Duke Pandemic Delays Season 2

When series creator Rachael New sat down to conceive “Miss Scarlet,” she took stock of how characters were being envisioned in the wake of the #MeToo movement. “This isn’t a criticism [but] I think people were desperate to have more female-centric roles,” she told IndieWire. New said she was sent numerous scripts, from both male and female writers, who had done little more than take a male-based property and swap the character to a girl....

Morbius Jared Leto Eyes Sinister Six Villain Team Up Movie

For years, Sony has mulled making a “Sinister Six” movie, based on the comic books that feature iconic Spider-Man villains teaming up to wreak havoc. Leto previously expressed his desire to see Morbius battle all three Spider-Man actors, but apparently he’d like to share the screen with other villains too. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter to promote the film, Leto made it clear that he would love to make an evil version of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” and team up with other villains from across the Spider-Man franchise....

Nope Review Jordan Peele S Wildly Entertaining Blockbuster

While Jordan Peele has fast become one of the most relevant and profitable of modern American filmmakers, “Nope” is the first time that he’s been afforded a budget fit for a true blockbuster spectacle, and that’s exactly what he’s created with it. But if this smart, muscular, and massively entertaining flying saucer freak-out is such an old school delight that it starts with a shout-out to early cinema pioneer Eadweard Muybridge (before paying homage to more direct influences like “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”), it’s also a thoroughly modern popcorn movie for and about viewers who’ve been inundated with — and addicted to — 21st century visions of real-life terror....

Prey Review Clever Predator Prequel Proves Old Ip Has Fresh Blood

Turns out, even the most wrung-out IP — we’re talking about a series that was eventually forced to crossover with another action-centric alien film, to deeply stupid results — can still tap into truly smart new ideas. Set on the Great Plains in the fall of 1719, “Prey” picks up at a fraught time in American history. The Comanche Nation may still rule this slice of prairie, plains, and forest, but just miles away is a group of money-hungry French fur trappers pillaging their way through the country’s wildlife....

Makeup department head Shauna Llewellyn and hair department head Ryan Reed focused on how a character’s visual concept could bilaterally reflect both who they were in the present and then how they changed in the future. With the Mirror Universe, it was a case of going extreme with alter egos. In addition, Emmy-winning makeup effects department head and prosthetics wiz Glenn Hetrick continued worked closely with Doug Jones on Commander Saru’s transformation, while Llewellyn and Reed got the rare opportunity to turn the Kelpien Starfleet science officer into a holographic human for Episode 11 ( “Su’Kal”)....

Star Trek Discovery Season 4 Review Kobayashi Maru Is Gorgeous

“As for the bad rap about the characters,” the late critic wrote of George Lucas’s opus, “Hey, I’ve seen space operas that put their emphasis on human personalities and relationships. They’re called ‘Star Trek’ movies. Give me transparent underwater cities and vast hollow senatorial spheres any day.” Ouch. But here’s the thing: “Star Trek: Discovery” Season 4 has reached that level of eye-tickling worldbuilding and has done so seamlessly. The season premiere, titled “Kobayashi Maru,” actually has a couple scenes set in a transparent underwater city that’s gorgeous to behold....
