We knew Jon Stewart was leaving The Daily Show, and chances are it was going to be before the fall. An earlier exit became even more likely when Comedy Central tabbed Trevor Noah as Stewart’s successor, reducing the need for him to carry the program through the summer. But now we have an exact date […]

A prevalent complaint (also voiced by me) about the trailer for Batman v Superman is that it completely lacked any sense of fun. One fan who agreed with that sentiment actually did something about it. Bobby Burns cut a new version of the two-minute clip with footage from Christopher Reeve’s Superman movies and the old Adam […]

Over the past few days, pop culture has been hit by a wave of blockbuster movie trailers. One of them (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) worked magnificently, while another (Fantastic Four) was a pleasant surprise. And a long-awaited preview (Batman v Superman) was somewhat puzzling.

Perhaps there’s reason to be optimistic about this August’s Fantastic Four after all. Fox’s reboot of the Marvel franchise has had to swim against a current of negative publicity and a perception that director Josh Trank didn’t really want to make a superhero film, preferring to veer away from the property’s comic book origins. The […]

Everyone watched the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens released on Thursday. Even Matthew McConaughey in space. And he reacted the way many of us did, especially after seeing Han Solo and Chewbacca again: He was reduced to tears. Wait, was that McConaughey or his character Cooper in a scene from Interstellar? Hey, […]

On Tuesday, a cell phone video of actor Dennis Quaid supposedly losing his shit at a director and film crew made its way around the internet. Did we have another blow-up by an entitled actor on a film set, like Christian Bale’s infamous tirade during the filming of Terminator: Salvation? Shortly after the video was […]

Give Jimmy Kimmel, his writers and producers some credit. As a Disney property, the ABC late-night show already had an in with getting the cast of the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron as guests. But Jimmy Kimmel Live did something much more fun and memorable than simply have the six superhero actors on the couch, […]

Next summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse surely won’t be the last X-Men movie made. The series is a big moneymaker for Fox, and superhero franchises are huge for movie studios right now. But director Bryan Singer and producers are adding characters and casting actors as if this is the last time we’ll ever see Marvel’s mighty mutants […]

Even if Sylvester Stallone is done making Rocky movies, he’s not finished with playing Rocky Balboa. However, Rocky and Stallone presumably aren’t the focus in Creed. Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, this spinoff from the Rocky franchise focuses on Adonis Creed, the son of Balboa’s rival and friend Apollo Creed, who is following in […]

Marvel was already dominating a large chunk of the weekend’s pop culture conversation with the debut of Daredevil on Netflix. The studio apparently thought it was a great time to keep that momentum going by releasing the first full trailer for Ant-Man. As should be expected, there’s a lot more cool stuff in this new […]

As she reaches the later stages of her music career, it’s probably natural for Madonna to consider what she might do next. Would anyone have guessed that stand-up comedy was one of those possible endeavors? OK, maybe that’s not the blond ambition she’s harboring. (Oooh, get it? That was pretty good. I should use that […]
