Batman is one of my favorite protagonists, period. Since I was five and and stumbled onto my parents watching a rented copy of Tim Burton’s Batman, I have been fascinated by the character and his world.

Schumer was likely there, in part, as a tie-in to her upcoming movie, Trainwreck — the trailer for which aired right before her appearance.

Among last week’s cancellation announcements, NBC announced About a Boy, Jason Katims’ adaptation of the movie based on Nick Hornby’s novel, would not be returning for a third season. The news wasn’t surprising considering the series’ low ratings on a network that was grasping for a hit comedy. (See One Big Happy.) Save for People are Talking, […]

The NFL Draft is the league’s first major event of the season.

Last week, Warner Brothers released two images from their upcoming remake of Point Break. As with any remakes, the Internet blew up claiming blasphemy and urging the rest of the World Wide Web to grab their digital pitchforks in anger, despite the images being fairly non-specific to Point Break “canon,” with exception to Edgar Ramirez being on a […]
