What if the answer to our planet’s climate crisis was a question? That instead of limiting our spectrum of solutions to recycling more, driving electric cars, and voting (which are indeed great things), we let our imaginations run wild — exploring the possibilities of what could happen if we both collectively and individually approached climate change “as if we love the future?”

It’s a question that climate activist and marine biologist, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, asks in her new book, What If We Get It Right? It’s a...

Terminator Zero Showrunner Defends Terminator Salvation - Main Image

Any longtime Terminator fan knows that the fandom has long held the belief that the last good Terminator film was Terminator 2, and everything else between Terminator 3 and Dark Fate has been a poor entry in the story of Humanity vs. Skynet.

With Terminator Zero receiving sparkling reviews, showrunner Mattson Tomlin defends what he thinks is an underappreciated Terminator entry.

“People Were Tough on Terminator Salvation”

Talking to DiscussingFilm, Tomlin talks about previous entries in the franchise that he liked, and besides the first movie, he singled out 2009’s Terminator: Salvation, which McG directed. Tomlin says:

“I really love Salvation. I think people were a little tough on that movie and you look at it, the physics of it—the gunfire, the explosions, any time that there’s a terminator that—the skeleton—it really feels like it has a...

David's sacrifice in the Life movie ending fails, leading to a shocking twist for Miranda and a bleak, eerie conclusion. Director Daniel Espinosa drew inspiration from noir films for the dark Life ending, creating a memorable and impactful finale. While Life's ending may not have saved the film from middling reviews, it remains a highlight for fans of the sci-fi horror movie.

The Life movie ending took audiences by surprise in 2017, offering a bleak and haunting conclusion to director Daniel Espinosa's sci-fi horror. While Life was not a box office or critical hit, it managed to impress many fans with its take on the contained killer alien story that draws a lot of inspiration from Ridley Scott's Alien. However, the aspect of the movie that seems to get the most attention is the unforgettable ending that is worth examining further.

Life stars Rebecca Ferguson, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ryan Reynolds...

Spielberg's films share a universe with alien life forms connecting iconic movies like E.T. and Jaws. The Spielbergverse theory involves links to George Lucas's Star Wars franchise and extends to ancient civilizations. Evidence from various Spielberg films suggests that alien technologies influenced key events, like the mysterious disappearance of Bruce the shark.

In 2018, a very interesting theory made its way to FanTheoryWorld, a blog and podcast dedicated to sharing theories across many fandoms. This particular theory has the potential to completely alter the way in which you interact with the movies of Steven Spielberg.

Focusing on alien life forms from across his movies, the author, Erik Montgomery, makes a pretty convincing argument in his fan theory about how the, as he calls it, Spielbergverse, is related. Erik does make a point to suggest that, although not all of Spielberg's movies are mentioned, they nevertheless remain a part of the same universe.

Ricky Gervais has announced his next world tour and corresponding Netflix special.

“Ricky Gervais: Mortality” is set to launch later this year and run until the end of 2025, “taking in all of Gervais’s favorite arenas around the world,” per a press release. The special will also be filmed for release on Netflix.

“We’re all gonna die. May as well have a laugh about it. Mortality looks at the absurdities of life. And death. Bring it on,” Gervais said in a statement.

Gervais and Netflix have had a robust partnership together, as his most recent special for them, “Armageddon,” won a Golden Globe, spent time at No. 1 on Netflix’s most-watched list, and holds the world record for the highest-grossing comedy special of all time.

Other Gervais-Netflix collaborations include three seasons of his series “After Life,” as well as specials “Humanity” and “SuperNature.”

Warning: This article contains spoilers for X-Men '97 episode 10, "Tolerance is Extinction - Part 3."

X-Men '97 season 1 pitted the X-Men team against many iconic Marvel villains, but set up new ones for the series' future. Apocalypse has been set up as the primary antagonist of X-Men '97 season 2. X-Men '97's exploration of Marvel Comics' Fatal Attractions storyline has teased Onslaught as another powerful foe in the series' future.

Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 season 1 may have directly set up a powerful X-Men villain for season 2, but the series may have also made another terrifying foe more inevitable than Thanos in the MCU. X-Men '97 caught up with the original X-Men team from 1992's X-Men: The Animated Series roughly a year after Professor X's departure from Earth. The 10-part first season pitted the X-Men against some of Marvel Comics most dangerous antagonists, including Mister Sinister, the Friends of Humanity,...

These titles can be announced long in advance, which is often the case with the main "Waves", which come at the start and the middle of each month.

As fans eagerly wait for Elden Ring‘s Dlc, Shadow of the Erdtree, another Soulslike game is coming to Xbox Game Pass this month: Lords of the Fallen (2023). Elden Ring indeed has a loyal and dedicated fanbase but Lords of the Fallen could potentially hurt its sales when the Dlc comes out in June 2024.

Lords of the Fallen

Developed by Hexworks and published by Ci Games, Lords of the Fallen received mixed-to-positive reviews at the time of its release and sold over one million units within 10 days after its release. Apart from this, 10 more games are coming to Xbox Game Pass this month, including Ninja Theory’s highly anticipated game, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

X-Men '97: What Does the "Magneto Was Right" Phrase Mean in Episode 8? This Means War - Main Image

Magneto had always been against helping humans, the very perpetrators behind the near extinction of his mutant kind. So what does the phrase, "Magneto was right", mean in X-Men '97 episode 8? Learn more about it here.

Content Spoilers: This article contains spoilers for X-Men '97, so proceed with caution.

What Does "Magneto Was Right" Phrase Mean in X-Men '97?

By the end of X-Men '97 episode 7, Magneto was revealed as still alive and kicking, just under Mister Sinister and Bastion's clutches to use for their own gain.

Episode 8 titled Tolerance is Extinction Part 1 brings back Val Cooper, who tells Magneto the truth: the Un has been working beside Bastion and the Sentinel Empire.

Considering that they initially thought the X-Men supposedly lied to the human race about Professor X's whereabouts and status,...

With Sony’s confirmation that there would not be any Aaa-budget exclusive games launched this year, PlayStation fans deviated their attention to a new title, Stellar Blade. The South Korean studio Shift-Up Corporation is developing this action RPG.

Despite the controversy surrounding the appearance of the main female protagonist, the title has piqued the interest of many players. Thanks to a discussion on Reddit, players really want the game to perform well, so the studio will eventually add more customization features.

Stellar Blade is one of the most anticipated games of the year Stellar Blade will be released on April 26 exclusively for PS5.

After 2023 filled with great exclusive games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy 16, Humanity, and many others, this year will not be that active. With average to great reviews, Rise of the Ronin has already launched, and Stellar Blade is the only remaining exclusive game. Fans are very...

X-Men '97 continues stories found in X-Men: The Animated Series, including that of the persecution mutants face in the show and the comics alike. Despite X-Men '97 not being part of the official MCU timeline, it can continue a narrative that seems less likely to be continued in the MCU itself. The Friends of Humanity storyline can reflect the kind of narrative that Secret Invasion's ending was leading towards for aliens, only featuring mutant characters instead.

A narrative set up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that is unlikely to be revisited by the franchise has emerged as a central theme in X-Men '97. The rival of the classic 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series, X-Men '97 has already proven itself a triumph, while teasing several possible narratives. One of these bears a striking resemblance to a narrative set up in Secret Invasion, which runs the risk of going unresolved.

Conversations about the future of artificial intelligence can be found all over SXSW this year — and not all of the festival’s attendees are thrilled with the idea. Specifically, the film and TV fans catching screenings of world premieres including “The Fall Guy” and “Immaculate” made their AI displeasure loud and clear on Tuesday at the Paramount Theatre in Austin. (Scroll down to see for yourself.)

The quick-turnaround video editors at SXSW cut a daily sizzle reel highlighting previous panels, premieres and other events, which then runs before festival screenings. On Tuesday, the fourth edition of that daily video focused on the wide variety of keynotes and panelists in town to discuss AI. Those folks sure seem bullish on artificial intelligence, and the audiences at the Paramount — many of whom are likely writers and actors who just spent much of 2023 on the picket line trying to reign in the potentially...

Japanese anime and manga often feature fiendish, blood-sucking vampire characters as dark antiheroes or terrifying villains, while others portray vampires as charming, surprisingly relatable and likable people, including cute vampire girls here and there. Vampires are more popular than ever in media, and anyone who loves stories about the occult or the supernatural are encouraged to try a handful of great vampire anime series.

While the powers, weaknesses, and origin myth/stories of vampires can change over the years according to each creator, vampires are always instantly recognizable as fanged children of the night, and anime fans can't get enough of them. In anime, there's plenty of room for reinterpretation of vampires or even desconstructions of them, from half-vampire antiheroes to vampires who have more in common with high school students than with the likes of Dracula and Nosferatu.

Johnny Depp’s Tattoos For Pirates Of The Caribbean! ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

Johnny Depp has played some really versatile characters, but our favorite will always be Captain Jack Sparrow. He delivered a $4.5 billion franchise for Disney but was abandoned the minute he was accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. But do you know the superstar has five tattoos dedicated to his iconic role? Scroll below for all the details!

Many wouldn’t know, but Disney wasn’t convinced with Johnny’s portrayal as Jack Sparrow. They believed he was ruining the character and even ended up speculating if he was gay. While the studios were scared that the film would tank at the box office, it received massive praise upon release.

Johnny Depp’s homage to Pirates Of The Caribbean

Johnny Depp may have disassociated himself from Pirates Of The Caribbean, but his love for Captain Jack Sparrow will live forever.

Out of the many movies you could imagine emerging from the mind of French auteur Bruno Dumont, a Star Wars parody was probably somewhere at the bottom of the list.

And yet it’s been some time since the Cannes Grand Jury Prize laureate, who broke out in the late 90s with viscerally stylized, hard-hitting works of Gallic realism like The Life of Jesus and Humanity, has strayed far from his gritty roots towards a brand of accentuated arthouse satire.

His latest effort, the sci-fi farce The Empire (L’Empire), definitely fits the latter mold, although it’s loaded with enough VFX, light saber battles, spacecrafts and prophecies to give George Lucas a run for his money. That is, if Lucas decided to set the next Star Wars in a sleepy northern French city, used a local mechanic to play one of the leads and tossed in a few flagrant sex scenes,...

The folks over at The Asylum are back at it again with brand new action-horror movie Planetquake, and much like Sharktopus, well, the title for this one kind of speaks for itself.

Watch the official trailer for director Monroe Robertson’s Planetquake below.

In the low-budget disaster movie, “A tectonic shift deep below the Mariana Trench causes a series of ever escalating earthquakes. If a team of leading seismologists fails to stop the disaster, the events will break apart the Earth, resulting in billions of casualties.”

Michael Paré, Erica Duke, and Anthony Jensen star.

Planetquake will be playing in select theaters from January 26 – February 1, with locations including Laemmle Monica (LA), Hickory Ridge Cinemas, Trylon Cinema, O Cinema South Beach, and Aurora Complex.

The film also comes home to Digital platforms on January 26.

The post ‘Planetquake’ Trailer – The Planet Has Had Enough of Humanity in Latest Disaster Movie from The Asylum appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!

In early January, comedian Katt Williams went on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast and took aim at Cedric the Entertainer for stealing “my very best joke.” The bit in question — which involved a pantomime of driving with music blasting — was first performed by Katt in a 1998 appearance on ComicView, then reproduced by Cedric (according to Katt) for his set in Spike Lee’s The Original Kings of Comedy. Cedric called the accusations “revisionist history” on Instagram.

We’ve been down this road many times before. For much of the 20th century, joke stealing was an open secret. “All comedians steal from all comedians,” the legend Stan Laurel once mused. Some of the biggest names in comedy did it. Milton Berle was so blatant in his joke stealing that he earned the nickname “The Thief of Bad Gags.” Richard Pryor admitted on The Tonight Show that he ripped off his comedy idols,...

Lois Lane sees through Clark Kent's perspective in the story "Glasses" from Mysteries of Love in Space #1, and discovers the loneliness he feels trying to fit into a world he wasn't made for. Clark Kent made himself smaller to use his strength and heart for others, desperate to ensure no one else would feel left behind the way he has his entire life. Lois realizes that Clark needs someone to share his secret with, someone who can understand his burdens and guilt.

Few people truly love and understand humanity like Superman – gifted with extraordinary abilities, he chooses to split his time between a civilian life and saving the planet time after time. Lois Lane knows him better than anyone, and when she directed her investigative skills toward Clark's life, she saw exactly what turned him into the brave, selfless man he is.

Netflix has set a December 25, 2023 premiere date for Ricky Gervais’ new stand-up special Armageddon. Commenting on the Christmas debut, Gervais joked, “For the next 2000 years people will remember the 25th December as the day Armageddon was released on Netflix.”

Armageddon marks Gervais’ third special to air on Netflix, with Humanity premiering on the streaming service on March 13, 2018 followed by SuperNature on May 24, 2022. Gervais’ critically acclaimed After Life ran for three seasons, debuting in March 2019 and wrapping up in January 2022.

Armageddon was shot at the London Palladium and was directed by John L. Spencer. The special’s produced by Derek Productions. Netflix offers this synopsis of the stand-up special:

“The BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning mind behind The Office, Extras and After Life takes the stage for a provocative new stand-up special, riffing on the end of humanity, political correctness, family weddings, funerals, and Artificial Intelligence.

The Game Awards 2023 nominees have finally been revealed, and they are…pretty standard, honestly. Obviously, people had personal Game of the Year favorites that didn’t get a nod, but most of the major games of 2023 are represented in the places you’d expect to see them represented.

Of course, this is an awards show, and it’s not an awards show without some nominee controversies. These are a few of the more notable snubs and surprises from this year’s Game Awards nominees:

Hogwarts Legacy Doesn’t Get Any Nominations

Despite receiving (mostly) strong reviews and setting some sales records, Hogwarts Legacy did not receive a single Game Awards 2023 nomination.

For me, that falls somewhere between a snub and a surprise. Given the numerous controversies surrounding Hogwarts Legacy’s release and general existence, it was fairly easy to predict that the game wouldn’t be a widespread hit with the nominating committee.

MK2 Films has acquired a collection of films and TV series directed by Bruno Dumont, the award-winning French director behind “Life of Jesus” and “Humanity.”

The acquisition, unveiled during Mipcom Cannes, covers the bulk of the director’s work, spanning eight films and TV series including “Li’l Quinquin,” which premiered at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight. MK2 Films will represent rights to some of these titles, in France and/or international markets, apart from a few titles like “Slack Bay” whose global rights are still handled by Memento International.

“Bruno Dumont is, of course, a major figure of contemporary cinema,” said Nathanaël Karmitz, MK2’s chairman of the executive board. Karmitz praised Dumont for the “originality of his unusual, unpredictable [films], veering from gravitas to some unnerving, comedic tangents.” He continued, “Iconoclastic and consistently courageous in its form, his work perfectly represents the free and ambitious cinema that we are proud to promote.

The Society of Voice Arts and Sciences will present Viola Davis with the Muhammad Ali Voice of Humanity Honor at the Voice Arts Awards 10th Anniversary Gala. The honor recognizes Davis’ talent, passion for social justice and willingness to tackle social problems through her commitment to the truth.

“This honor was created in furtherance of The Champ’s legacy of embodying resilience and courage in the face of social injustice and adversity. Viola Davis shares those traits,” said Joan Baker, founder and vice President of Sovas, in a statement.

The Voice Arts Awards is an annual celebration for nominees and winners in the world of voice acting and associated craft professionals.

Uraraka's speech in My Hero Academia Season 6 opens up a deep ideological question, one that the anime has earned the right to ask after navigating and answering many others. With the final arc and final battle approaching, My Hero Academia reflects on the superhero genre itself. While the superhero genre often places its heroes on pedestals, a kin to the deities on top of Mount Olympus, Ochaco Uraraka challenges this notion. Through her passionate discourse, she humanizes superheroes and reminds the audience that these iconic figures who risk their lives for the sake of innocents are, in essence, human beings with their own needs, vulnerabilities, and struggles.

This questioning of heroism is not as common in the popular narratives of Marvel or Dcu. By highlighting the humanity of heroes, Uraraka adds a layer of complexity and realism to the genre. She extends the concern beyond the heroic image, diving into...

Though most anime are adapted from manga, there are some classics that use light novels as their source material. Light novels are young adult novels with fast-paced prose and a handful of illustrations throughout the chapters. They make great starting points for shonen and shojo anime because the target demographics are similar in age and they use a lot of the same preferred genre conventions.

Some light novels are so old that they're hard to find in print. However, if some classic anime adapted from light novels were rebooted, it would bring new interest to their out-of-print progenitors. Light novels are growing more and more popular around the world. It's more common to see them translated into English and adapted into anime as well. This could be the perfect time to reboot some classic anime that sprang out of popular light novels.

The much anticipated Barbie movie, starring the incredibly talented Margot Robbie as the titular character, has finally made its way to theaters. Audiences may now fully immerse themselves in the magical world of Barbieland and follow the adventure of Barbie and Ken, as represented by the charismatic Ryan Gosling, after months of ardent anticipation, extensive narrative conjecture, and tantalizing glimpses of the musical aspects.

Humanity is a special game that draws people in with its unique presentation but keeps them invested by connecting to something deep within the player - even if, after completion, it's hard to articulate exactly what that is. Throughout its 90-stage story, Humanity uses its puzzles, visual motifs, and moments of exposition to explore the abstract nature of spirituality, mortality, and the different ways people connect to and guide one another through life. It's a title full of surprises, fulfilling puzzles, stunning visuals, and resonant story beats, placing it alongside some of the best puzzle games available.

The Travelers, who count Wesley Crusher among their number, are one of Star Trek's most enigmatic races, but they were depicted much darker in the comics. Throughout Idw Publishing’s Star Trek: Year Five, Supervisor Gary Seven was a recurring villain, continually trying to kill Captain Kirk. Picard’s second season revealed that these Supervisors work for the Travelers, who generally seem benevolent, but 2021’s Star Trek: Year Five #24 paints them in a far more sinister light.

Although the Travelers were not officially named until Star Trek: Picard’s season two finale, their presence has been felt throughout the franchise since the Original Series episode “Assignment: Earth.” Intended to be a backdoor pilot for a new series, the episode introduced Supervisor Gary Seven, sent to Earth with superpowers to help guide it through the rough times ahead. Seven remained one of the franchise’s biggest loose ends until Picard,...

Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne passed through the Toronto Film Festival Monday morning where they discussed their true-crime thriller The Good Nurse.

The film centers on Amy Loughren (Chastain), a nurse who starts to believe that her colleague Charlie Cullen (Redmayne) is responsible for a series of mysterious patient deaths and risks her own life to uncover the truth.

“The thing I liked so much about the film is that we see so often films about a serial killer or a story and its fetishized,” Chastain said while discussing why she joined the project. “You’d see him injecting the bags and I’ve always felt a little dirty watching that stuff. I don’t wanna celebrate or have the media glorify what happened to another human being. I wanna celebrate humanity, which is why I was excited about this.”

Discussing her collaboration with Redmayne, she added: “I’ve always...

Netflix has set May 24 for the premiere of Supernature, Emmy winner Ricky Gervais’ second stand-up special for the streamer.

In Supernature, Gervais gives his take on the rules of comedy, spoiling his cat and debunks the supernatural, concluding that actual nature is super enough.

Gervais had performed half of his Supernature tour before being shut down by the pandemic in 2020, resuming 18 months later. In an interview earlier this year with Deadline, speaking about the tour, Gervais said, “I’m actually putting more in to the show to keep it fresh and this spate of gigs are the best gigs I’ve ever done. I don’t know whether that’s because I’ve been doing the same stand-up for longer than I ever have before and I keep rewriting it and keep folding the samurai sword.

After being cancelled in 2020 and then delayed in 2021, the Cannes Film Festival is finally back on track for May 2022 on the French Riviera. The 75th installment of the international cinema showcase will take place from May 17 to May 28, and there will be 18 films competing for the coveted Palme d’Or, the festival’s top prize. Last year that honor went to the French thriller “Titane,” directed by Julia Ducournau. As of this writing several details are still to be announced including who will be on this year’s jury and who will be serving as jury president after Spike Lee presided over last year’s program.

A filmmaker’s previous track record at Cannes can sometimes give us an idea of who’s in a good position to claim the Palme. For instance, seven of this year’s entries in the official competition come from directors who have previously won...

In Macedonia, there’s a legend about a bitter, lonely crone named “Old Maid Maria.” She wanders the woods in search of vulnerable newborn babies ripe with blood to feed on, allowing her to remain alive. In the opening of Goran Stolevski’s gruesome fairytale horror story, “You Won’t Be Alone,” Old Maid Maria (Anamaria Marinca), a menacing body of scar tissue and wispy gray hair, comes upon baby Nevena. To spare the child’s life, her anguished mother makes a vow to Maria: If she allows Nevena to live, when the girl turns 16, she can have her as a surrogate daughter.

In the wake of playing the wise and balanced god of the universe, Doctor Manhattan, in HBO’s Watchmen, a role which earned Yahya Abdul-Mateen II a Primetime Emmy for supporting actor in a limited series, the actor has accumulated a resume of socially philosophical protagonists including Bobby Seale in The Trial of the Chicago 7, Anthony McCoy in Candyman and now Morpheus in Warner Bros/Village Roadshow’s Matrix Resurrections.

Commenting on that momentum, Abdul-Mateen II tells us on the Hero Nation podcast, “Each of those (roles) did have a perspective to have something to say about humanity, have something to say about magic and what it is to be human or standing up for human rights, or finding the other side of this existence, and fighting for it as well.”

In a bid to up their game in the Spanish and international arena, Barcelona-based companies Mediacrest and A Contracorriente Films have forged a strategic alliance that will have the latter distribute Mediacrest films and series as well as co-produce a selection of titles with the fast-growing producer.

Said Adolfo Blanco, CEO of A Contracorriente Films: “For A Contracorriente, the deal is an opportunity to collaborate with a first-rate team and to be able to offer its clients and partners a number of films and series designed to reach the general public.”

“By participating in the genesis of the projects, we will be better able to tailor the right model for each of them,” he added.

First out the gate is the adaptation of the 1945 Premio Nadal award-winning novel “Nada” by Carmen Laforet. The literary sensation is narrated by a young orphaned woman who leaves her small town to attend university in post-civil war Barcelona.

Spain’s fast-growing TV production company Mediacrest is joining forces with Wanda Vision, one of the country’s top arthouse distributors-producers, on docu-filmmaker Gerardo Olivares’ project “Lonely Man.”

The Mediacrest-Wanda deal will see Wanda Vision’s partners José María and Miguel Morales assuming co-producers roles, handling an undisclosed part of project distribution rights.

“Lonely Man” represents Olivares’ return to the docu-fiction genre, a territory he already visited in two previous Wanda-produced projects, international sales hit “La Gran Final” and multi-prized feature “14 kilómetros.”

Both titles allowed Olivares to introduce fictional elements that helped the stories to progress within a real environment and characters.

In the case of “Lonely Man,” located in the Río Negro province in Argentina’s Patagonia, Olivares tells the story of Cándido Sandoval, a 70-year-old gaucho who lives alone in a cabin isolated from the world.

“This is a very personal project that arose after my travels...

In its continued bid to explore new fiction content, Spain’s Mediacrest has joined forces with Chilean shingle Maria Wood Prods. to co-produce sci-fi series, “Humanity.”

This is the fledgling three-year-old company’s first collaboration with a Chilean producer and also its first with a Latin American company.

To be presented at Series Mania, the Mars-based series could not be more timely given the growing interest in the Red Planet by space exploration companies led by NASA and billionaires Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos.

In July, Branson and Bezos flew to the edge of space nine days apart to much fanfare – and some trepidation – as part of their ambition to ferry passengers to space.

Created by Paula Sánchez, Jorge Hernández and Sergio Cámara from Mediacrest’s fiction department, led by Alberto Macías, “Humanity” is set in the not-so-distant future following the explosion of planet Earth – an apocalyptic scenario...
