It’s a rather silly question to ask an average Indian moviegoer if they’ve ever seen Sholay. Instead, ask them how many times, and you’ll likely receive a double-digit figure. The massive impact that Sholay had on Indian cinema is undeniable. In fact, it’s often said that the Hindi film industry can be divided into two eras — Sholay Ad and Sholay BC. Such is the imposing legacy of Sholay, one that transcends time, class, and generations. You are just as likely to find a 25-year-old taxi driver quoting Sholay as you are to find a 70-year-old businessman. The popularity of recent films like Rrr and Kantara has sparked a newfound global interest in Indian films, and many cinephiles are looking for a starting point to begin their journey. There could hardly be a better orientation than Sholay. In the true fashion of a masala movie, Sholay has something for everyone.

Remember the good ol’ days when Jackie Chan’s laugh-inducing kung fu and hilarious expressions ruled movie channels on TV all over the world? Well, it's been a while since those days, but Chan's awe-inspiring stunts remain as fresh as ever as he returns to the silver screen with a bang, starring with none other than DC’s Peacemaker and WWE legend John Cena. Their upcoming action-comedy movie Hidden Strike looks set to combine the vehicle-blasting escapes of the Fast and Furious franchise with the explosive action of Expendables, combined with the all-too-familiar buddy cop movie feel Jackie Chan is famous for. Previously known as S.N.A.F.U (also Project X and Project X-Traction), the film comes from Need for Speed director Scott Waugh.

Hollywood has no shortage of content about abusive relationships — from Jennifer Lopez in Enough, Julia Roberts in Sleeping with the Enemy, and even the movie based on the play that coined the buzzword Gaslight. Netflix’s Maid brings a new perspective to the genre by tackling that nebulous specter — emotional abuse. Previous iterations of the overcoming-abuse narrative focus on the physical aspect of abuse and what the women in these relationships must do to escape them. But few focus on emotionally abusive relationships that don’t get physical. There is a reason why these kinds of movies and TV shows acquire such strong followings — the stories are relatable, if triggering.

When the feelgood movie made him an Oscar-nominated star, the strain of hiding who he was almost forced him to quit acting. He explains how opening up about being gay, then trans, saved his life

Elliot Page’s memoir is called Pageboy. At its heart is the story of his transitioning from an Oscar-nominated actress, best known for the wonderful coming-of-age comedy drama Juno, to one of the world’s most high profile trans men. He writes, rather beautifully, about gender dysphoria, top surgery and finally finding himself. But the book is so much more than a tale of transition.

Pageboy is a modern-day Hollywood Babylon, written by a sensitive soul rather than a scandalmonger. Page depicts a film industry even more rancid than we may have suspected. This is a world where it’s not only the Harvey Weinsteins at the top of the pyramid who get to abuse...

Editor's Note: The following article contains Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers.The first big-screen animated adventure for Miles Morales in his journey as Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a major success and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2019. Now, its sequel, Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has quickly become a global phenomenon that is drawing rave reviews and big box office dollars. Into the Spider-Verse introduced Miles (Shameik Moore), the film’s hero, having a crush on his new would-be classmate and later fellow spider-hero, Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), aka Spider-Woman. Across the Spider-Verse takes their relationship a step further, but still falls short of pulling the trigger on a full-blown romance between Miles and Gwen Stacy. That said, the third installment of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse might be headed in that direction. But what about Miles and Gwen in the Marvel Comics storyline?...

From her roles in Hong Kong action films in the 90s to appearing in everything from Marvel to Star Trek, Michelle Yeoh has made a name for herself as an international actor. She recently appeared in American Born Chinese as the fictional version of the Bodhisattva and Chinese mythological goddess Guanyin. The series is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang, following the story of an American teenager named Jin Wang (Ben Wang) and what happens when he meets Wei-Chen (Jimmy Liu), his new classmate who turns out to be the son of the legendary Monkey King Sun Wukong (Daniel Wu).

It's a rarity in Hollywood that a director will be honest about borrowing stylistic devices from another filmmaker. But unlike most in the business, Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Altman had a uniquely different kind of relationship. And when Anderson came out and admitted that he had been "ripping off Altman for years" it was a testament to his respect for Altman and his iconic films, including The Player, M.A.S.H., and Nashville. The two had such a level of mutual respect and a similar approach to making movies that in 2006 when Altman was battling illness during the making of his final film, A Prairie Home Companion, he tabbed Anderson to be the stand-in director should Altman's health require him to step aside from the project. That's right, Paul Thomas Anderson came very close to directing a Robert Altman film, and considering that Altman would, unfortunately, pass away just months after the completion of the project,...

It's been a few years, but we finally reunited with Shameik Moore's Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. His work is as great as it was in its predecessor, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, in which he voiced our favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Come to think of it, Moore would make a pretty great live-action Miles, too. While Moore might be mostly known for this animated role, he did play a very similar one in his best work back in the 2015 film Dope, who, much like Miles, gets in way over his head. This role not only let Moore showcase his range, but solidifies him as a leading man.

Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria used the platform of her keynote address Friday at the UCLA Entertainment Symposium to dispel a few myths that persist around the streamer that has transformed television viewing during the past decade.

During an hourlong, wide-ranging Q&a with veteran entertainment attorney Ken Ziffren at the school’s Schoenberg Hall, Bajaria made the forceful case that “algorithms don’t decide what we make” when it comes to how Netflix uses data to inform programming and strategic decisions.

“There’s not an algorithm that would probably say, you know what’s a great idea? A period show about a woman playing chess,” Bajaria said, pointing to 2021’s “The Queen’s Gambit,” which raked in 11 Emmys for the streamer including the trophy for best limited series. Nor would data analytics ever deliver a report instructing them to “do something thematically about connection and lonliness, and maybe throw...

It’s an almost universally accepted fact that spoilers are a bad thing. It’s perfectly understandable that viewers want to retain the element of surprise for themselves when an anticipated story unfolds, especially when they have spent months or even years waiting for a release. In recent years, however, the level of anxiety and hysteria surrounding spoilers at present often feels comically exaggerated. And this has fostered an environment of spoiler culture where loyal fans of certain franchises go to ridiculous lengths to avoid having their movies spoiled.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introduces a number of new Spider-Men to the multiverse, including fan-favorites like Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 and Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider to more outlandish choices like Spider-Cat and Spider-Rex. Yes, the biggest animated movie of the year has a cat and Tyrannosaurus Rex with Spider-Man's powers. Across the Spider-Verse also sees a number of familiar faces from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse return — chief among them Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson). But Peter isn't alone: when he reunites with Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), he's brought his infant daughter Mayday with him!

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.One of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s greatest strengths is the character of Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), also known as Spider-Gwen. No longer just a supporting character in Miles Morales’ (Shameik Moore) story, Gwen is a full-fledged protagonist in Across the Spider-Verse, giving us two compelling coming-of-age stories that are inextricably linked. Not only did giving Gwen more to do lead to a deeper and more complex narrative, but it also makes an extremely strong argument for something most of us have thought since Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Spider-Gwen is more than deserving of her own movie.

Greek life has been prominently featured in media for a while now, mainly in comedies like Animal House, Neighbors, and House Bunny. In recent years, however, Hollywood has had the desire to look more deeply into these institutions. From Max’s new documentary Bama Rush, which examines the sorority recruitment process that has dominated TikTok for the past several summers, to a storyline on Hulu’s Tell Me Lies, the darker side of this unique college experience has been an endless source of fascination.

If you’re a fan of the hit Chinese historical drama series The Untamed, look no further than the 2021 series Word of Honor for your next watch. Adapted from the novel Faraway Wanderers by Priest and produced by Ciwen Media and Youku, Word of Honor tells the epic story of two men, Zhou Zishu (played by Zhang Zhehan) and Wen Kexing (played by Gong Jun), and how their lives completely change once they cross each other’s paths. In addition to showcasing epic fighting scenes and gorgeous cinematography, the show has drawn a major fanbase for its characterization, namely the chemistry between its main male leads.

Over a long and illustrious career, puppeteer Jim Henson created some of the most original and fascinating creatures in film and television. While most of his creations were kid-friendly and comforting—like Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster among other Sesame Street and Muppets staples—Henson was equally talented at crafting creepy and unsettling characters, especially for his antagonists. Notable baddies that showcased Henson’s aptitude for the disturbing include the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal, the Goblins from Labyrinth, and the Witches from The Witches. However, all of these pale in comparison to one of Henson's earlier, lesser-known creations, which managed to be utterly unnerving in its experimental design and unconventional puppetry.

Plenty of adult animated shows seem to last forever, but the most impressive thing about the decades-long run of “South Park” is the series’ willingness to evolve and change. Sure, the bones of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Comedy Central series have remained consistent: its foul-mouthed dialogue, offensive humor, surrealist tendencies, and central group of four elementary school boys have carried from the first episode through and beyond the show’s 300th.

But the exploits that Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny get into around their Colorado mountain town these days look a lot different than they did back in 1997, when the show first premiered. Over the seasons — and decades — Parker and Stone have stayed the primary creators behind the show, and watching it back is one way of tracking their growth as writers. After three seasons that relied extensively on toilet humor (not that fart and poop jokes have...

While recent years have shown an increase in Bl (boy’s love) Chinese dramas centering around the homoromantic/homoerotic relationships between men, one may be wondering where all the Sapphic ladies are? Well, look no further than Couple of Mirrors. Set in Republican-era China, the 2021 Chinese drama series produced by Huanyu Film centers the story of two very different women Xu You Yi (Zhang Nan) and Yan Wei (Sun Yi Han) who come from different walks of life only to come together to be embroiled in a tale of passion and murder.

Paul Geoffrey, an English actor known for his roles in “Excalibur” and “Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes,” has died. He was 68.

Geoffrey died on June 3 in Santa Fe, N.M. from a battle with cancer, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported.

“A thespian to the core, Paul continued to act for the remainder of his life. He loved French wine and food, had a stunning grasp of history, was a life-long Arsenal fan, and excelled at being the sweetest guy in the world,” the Santa Fe New Mexican said of Geoffrey.

Nigel Terry (left) as King Arthur, Paul Geoffrey (right) as Perceval, in “Excalibur.”

Throughout his acting career, Geoffrey starred as Perceval in the 1981 film “Excalibur,” a medieval fantasy film that retells the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. The film won best artistic contribution at Cannes in 1981 and received an Oscar nomination for best cinematography.

Gwen Stacy is having a moment, and rightly so. Ghost-Spider is the moment, actually, thanks to her astoundingly successful Marvel Comics run and her increased presence in Sony's new animated masterpiece Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Before Hailee Steinfeld donned the mask, Emma Stone brought Gwen to vivacious life alongside Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man. Stone's version was likely the most well-known to audiences prior to Steinfeld, and one beloved by the Spider-Man fanbase. Yet neither actress can claim the honor of introducing Gwen Stacy to live action. That originator is a giant of a talent, a maestro in front of and behind the screen. In short: remember when Bryce Dallas Howard played Gwen in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3?...

Anyone heading to the movies this weekend will have their choice of the best and absolute worst that Hollywood’s obsession with cinematic universes has to offer. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” may be riding high as the jaw-dropping animated exception to the rule, but swing into the wrong theater and you could be stuck watching “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.” Paramount’s 1990s-set prequel kicks off the beginning of the Hasbro Cinematic Universe: a toy brand crossover event (and veritable capitalist nightmare) established with a film so mediocre it’s hard to believe it was in the works for more than a decade.

You can’t blame a studio for trying. The gravity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe spun Hollywood off its axis years ago, centering already-popular IP as the money-printing sun of our storytelling galaxy.

Hollywood’s love of a good sequel was nothing new, but traditional franchises were...

Seizing fate, I once placed a personal ad in a magazine, trying to track down a nameless, attractive ride operator who’d swept into my town with a travelling carnival. I was 13 and desperate to escape. Just placing the ad let in a ray of light.

Isabel Darling, director of the feature-length documentary The Carnival, can relate. She followed Bells Family Carnival around Australia for seven years – but sometimes just turning up to film vignettes wasn’t enough.

Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Episode 1 of The Idol.HBO’s newest Sunday night viewing option, The Idol, has quite the premise, one that caused some controversy ahead of its release. With so much attention being placed on the show ahead of its June premiere, all eyes were on the series’ two leads, Lily-Rose Depp and Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd), who play Jocelyn and Tedros, respectively. As the first episode demonstrated, this Sam Levinson creation really takes its time, almost to a fault, on certain scenes, many of which are more sexually charged than might be needed. Much of the first half of the premiere is spent showing Jocelyn at a photoshoot and ensuing dance rehearsal. While The Idol is attempting to take us into a “day in the life” of this pop star, what actually ends up happening is Jocelyn becoming a background character, as the surrounding cast becomes far more interesting.

While we normally think of improvised moments as funny bits that make it into the final cut — and we know the MCU has plenty of unscripted moments — Marvel’s best improvised moment is one that is actually far more tragic. No fan will ever forget the feeling of watching our favorite heroes die a dusty death after Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) catastrophic snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. While the whole scene was devastating, the death that hit the hardest was definitely that of Peter Parker (Tom Holland), as he cried out “I don’t wanna go!” and broke all of our hearts into a million pieces. Even more shocking than watching Spider-Man disintegrate, however, is the fact that the moment was actually improvised.

In 1970, novelist Judy Blume published what would become one of the most important and influential novels of the decade with Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. Rarely has a best-selling novel that focused on women's issues in America (let alone one that focused on puberty in young women) reached such widespread appeal across the nation, with Blume's novel getting into the hands of millions of people. While the book was the subject of some controversy and attempts at censorship, the vast majority of readers and critics praised the novel for its candid and heartfelt look at the hectic life of a woman on the cusp of adulthood. A poignant theme that's still relevant over fifty years later. Now, a total of 53 years after the novel's publication, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is finally getting the feature film treatment. For the first time ever, audiences across the...

Summer has arrived, and so has the desire to relax and have fun. But with summer comes love: love can lead to heartache, which is far from prototypical summer fun. However, some can relish in films and movies representing this experience, which either helps viewers cope on their own or simply show them the heartache that comes and goes in life.

Cheating, lies, and abuse. The Real Housewives franchise is one ripe with problems. And one of those problems is the way the franchise upholds patriarchy in its approach to wives and their success. The Real Housewives franchise may focus primarily on the wives, but without husbands, or exes, the women wouldn't be cast. Most women on the show start off as traditional housewives where their main role is tending to children and domestics. As their time on the show progresses, things change in their marital dynamics, and chaos often ensues. It's not just the actions of the husbands on the show that have been called into question. The problem comes from men behind the scenes who work on the backend and also about shows selling audiences a show about kept women. But it is a franchise that consistently has storylines of the men walking all over the women in their lives.

Even kids with extraordinary abilities need a place to hone their skills. Young wizards mastered their wands and learn to spell at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. X-Men trained at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. A new generation of Jedis went to Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy. If you’re a potential superhero or “supe” in the super dark universe of The Boys, you’ll want to graduate from the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting. But first, you’ll need to survive. Competition at the school is murderously cut-throat and the mission-vision of its nefarious founder John Godolkin and Vought International is a million percent for-profit.

With a franchise as vast as Star Wars that has a massive catalog of beloved characters, not even the most recognizable ones have a story quite like Ahsoka Tano. It's hard to believe that there was a point in time when fans thought the idea of Anakin Skywalker having a padawan was preposterous since no such thing had ever even been mentioned in the live-action films. Yet, slowly but surely, young Ahsoka captured the hearts of the fandom, going from an arrogant learner into a patient Jedi Knight in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2022). When she left the Jedi Order to have a new life, many assumed that was the end of her journey, and yet she still chose to fight the good fight in Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018), even coming face to face with her former master, now corrupted into the evil Darth Vader. Her duel with Vader...

Acclaimed creative duo Christopher Miller and Phil Lord have yet another hit on their hands with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The multiversal spider-flick has been killing it at the box office with just about everything fans could want - a heartfelt adventure about fitting in, a perfect villain for Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) capable of breaking the multiverse itself, and plenty of Spider-people. One thing it lacked, however, was a post-credits scene. Apparently, that wasn't always the case as Miller and Lord told IndieWire that there initially were plans to have one final tease based around Jason Schwartzman's The Spot.

Several crew members were injured on the Morocco set of the sequel to “Gladiator” on June 7 while filming a stunt sequence for the action film.

“While filming a planned stunt sequence on the set of the ‘Gladiator’ sequel, an accident occurred during which several crew members experienced non-life-threatening injuries,” a spokesperson for Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the film, said in a statement. “The safety and full medical services teams on-site were able to act quickly so that those who were impacted immediately received necessary care. They are all in stable condition and continue to receive treatment.”

A total of six people received treatment, four of whom remain in the hospital. All of the impacted crew members were treated for burn injuries, according to an individual with knowledge of the production. Two other crew members were treated locally and then discharged. The accident occurred towards the end of the shooting day.

NBC has delivered an unfavorable verdict on two of its comedies. The network announced today its decision to cancel Young Rock and Grand Crew which ran for three seasons and two seasons, respectively. Young Rock was based on the life of wrestler turned action hero Dwayne Johnson chronicling his career trajectory from the wrestling ring to the silver screens. Grand Crew, on the other hand, is centered on a group of wine-loving African-American pals in their 30s as they navigate love and life.

Imagine coming home after a long school day in 1994. Backpack off, shoes off, and, before the front door closes, your butt is on the couch and the TV is on. Flipping through the channels, you see it on the Disney Afternoon programming block: Gargoyles. It’s dark and brooding, but also at times tender and sentimental. These “monsters” aren’t so scary when they’re not trying to be. They wax philosophical and struggle with the inherent mistrust between their kind and humanity. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Yet has surprisingly familiar roots in the works of William Shakespeare​​​​​​.

While Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is currently killing it in theaters around the globe and has received almost flawless review scores, there was one common complaint that moviegoers seemed to agree with. That complaint would be audio related as a sound mixing issue on some prints of the film made it hard to hear Gwen Stacy's opening monologue. However, now it’s been learned that the audio issue has been fixed meaning all is right in the Spider-Verse once again.

Ever since its release 43 years ago, The Shining has been one of the most hotly discussed, debated, and dissected movies to ever grace the silver screen. Stanley Kubrick's masterful adaptation of Stephen King's novel blends psychological and supernatural horror to create a surrealistic thriller that practically begs multiple interpretations. Through documentaries like Room 237 to books like Kubrick's Labyrinth, scholars and fans alike have seemingly read the film through every possible lens. However, like the Overlook hotel itself, just when you think all of The Shining's mysteries have been unearthed, something new comes along to make the film even more intriguing and chilling than before.

Steven Spielberg was one of the first A-listers to praise “The Last of Us,” according to director Peter Hoar.

The Episode 3 helmer told The Hollywood Reporter that series creator Craig Mazin received a letter from the iconic Oscar winner applauding the queer storyline in the third episode, titled “Long, Long Time.”

“Well, I didn’t get it directly, but [an actual Spielberg letter] came to Craig Mazin, the writer of my episode on ‘The Last of Us’ — the writer of all the episodes,” Hoar said. “He shared it with myself, Nick Offerman, Murray Bartlett and [cinematographer] Eben Bolter. Basically, a whole group of middle-aged men started squealing because their idol had realized who they were.”

Hoar continued, “I think he probably knew who everyone else was, but he didn’t know who I was. And now he’s probably forgotten.”

The director addressed Mazin’s “universal” storyline in the third episode featuring the...

Before it hits theaters on June 23, take a trip with Collider into Wes Anderson’s pastel-washed desert landscape for an early screening of Asteroid City. We’re partnering with Focus Features to provide L.A. and New York City residents a chance to experience this world-changing phenomenon before the movie’s wide release, with a couple of special surprises for Los Angeles attendees.

Combat veterans, famously, don’t tend to talk much, if at all, about their experiences of war. At least not to civilians, and maybe not even to their closest relatives. Knowing this, those of us who aren’t veterans tend to have ideas about the things they aren’t discussing. Things like violence and fear and the chaos and insanity of battle. That’s surely a part of it, but in a way it’s also the heightened cinematic version, the one we’ve all gotten from war movies. What it leaves out are the torn-up emotions of soldiers, the lifelong imprint left upon them not just by the cataclysm of war but by their relationship with their fellow soldiers — the loyalty and love, the complex code of liberation and guilt at having survived.

“Mending the Line” is a drama about two veterans and their relationship to the combat experience,...

When Succession ended a couple of weeks ago, it brought the story of the Roy family to a close after years of betrayals and a relentless power struggle. The fight got to a point where it seemed like the Roy siblings would never speak to each other again by the time the series ended but, according to one of the stars of the show, there might be room for forgiveness. During a recent interview with Variety, Kieran Culkin said he believed the Roy siblings could settle their differences at some point in the future. His reasoning behind it is related to his character's need to stay close to his family:...

Spoiler Alert: This contains major spoilers about the ending of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” now playing in theaters.

Is this the beginning of the Hasbro Cinematic Universe?

After rumors of a crossover between the “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” franchises circulated online in recent months, it seems like the ultimate ’80s action-toy mash-up is officially happening. The ending of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” has a direct callout to the Joes, and director Steven Caple Jr. and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura spoke to Variety at the film’s premiere about what to expect next from the series.

“Rise of the Beasts” is the seventh installment in the talking robots franchise, and di Bonaventura called it “the beginning of a new generation of ‘Transformers’ movies.” It follows 2018’s prequel “Bumblebee,” which took place in 1987, and shifts things to Brooklyn in 1994. Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback take over as the human leads Noah Diaz and Elena Wallace,...

Editor’s Note: As Emmys season rolls along, IndieWire will update this page with in-depth Emmy predictions from Awards Editor Marcus Jones. A link to each category will lead to lists of the ever-changing contenders, plus reporting on what shows are playing well with voters, TV Academy rules changes, interviews with potential nominees, and more.

The State of the Race

Even before the Oscars finally happened, Emmy consideration was already top of mind for the wide swath of television shows that aired between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023, and those programs are now looking to score some recognition from TV Academy voters.

If last year, where all the shows delayed by the pandemic came back into the fold, was Peak TV, we have already approached the valley. With the ever-changing media landscape there are several Emmys contenders that are not even available on their network’s streaming service anymore. Shows that in...

Last month, Succession aired its final episode, bringing the story of who would take over the Waystar Royco leadership to a close. However, one of the main actors from the show has a pretty certain idea about what happened to his character after the credits began rolling. During a recent interview with Variety, Kieran Culkin talked about what could happen to Roman Roy after he loses control of his father's company. The actor played the character ever since the series premiered back in 2018, taking four seasons to tell the complicated emotional journey of Roman. Here's what Culkin said regarding the future of his character:...

iCarly, Paramount’s revival of the hit Nickelodeon comedy, has brought us back into the lives of Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) and Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress) as they decide to reboot their beloved web show — sans Sam (Jennette McCurdy). Along with Carly’s zany brother Spencer (Jerry Trainor), her new Bff Harper (Laci Mosley), and Freddie’s step-daughter Millicent (Jaidyn Triplett), the adventures continue with some refreshing changes to keep the audience from the show’s original run tuned in with relevant stories and humor. The show manages to capture everything that the audience loved about it when it was on the air over a decade ago and has started to rebuild the romantic relationship between Carly and Freddie that, unfortunately, never really saw the light of day in the original. In iCarly Season 3, which is currently underway, Carly’s feelings for Freddie are finally in the spotlight. It has...

As franchises and sequels continue to be a part of the norm for Hollywood movies, more and more expansive stories have taken the approach to split their stories up into multiple films. It can provide a level of levity for filmmakers who can take a deeper dive into the worlds and characters that their stories deserve, resulting in more for the audience to gain from the story.

The Russo Brothers are calling out Quentin Tarantino’s comments on the MCU.

Joe and Anthony Russo responded to the Oscar winner’s numerous digs at the superhero franchise, telling The New Yorker that Tarantino’s “relationship to the source material” most likely affects his dislike of the manufactured process behind making Marvel movies.

“I don’t know if Quentin feels like he was born to make a Marvel movie,” Anthony Russo said, “which is maybe why he would feel like a hired hand doing it. It depends on your relationship to the source material.”

Joe Russo added, “What fulfills us the most is building a sense of community around our work.”

The “Jackie Brown” director said in November 2022 that he is against the “Marvel-ization of Hollywood,” namely when it comes to the ecosystem of studio stars.

“You have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters,” Tarantino explained.
