The 1980s film, which was based on a novel by Stephen King, chronicled a game show in which prisoners had t

Report: ‘Elio’ Was Pixar’s Latest Victim of Cuts to Erase a Queer Storyline

A new report from The Hollywood Reporter alleges that Elio, Pixar’s latest movie, has become the latest in a growing line at the studio to face radical cuts and changes from senior management—including, yet again, the erasure of a queer narrative. The report revealed that Elio had a fraught behind-the-scenes production, that saw much of original director Adrian Molina’s (Coco) vision undergo significant restructuring to become the film that is in theaters now. The disappointing alterations of t

The ‘Superman’ We Need Right Now: A Report From the Set of James Gunn’s New DC Film

At the end of a giant battle over the streets of Metropolis, the Man of Steel knelt down to kiss and profess his love to an inanimate object that special effects would later transform into his dog, Krypto.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Is a Suitably Fun, Undeniably Thin Dino Adventure

Jurassic World Rebirth is everything both good and bad about the Jurassic franchise rolled into one.

You’re glad that it’s fast-paced and action-packed, but bummed you don’t care that much about it. In the end, though, especially after the previous film

Bigger bitcoin HODL: Time for 10% to 40% of portfolio in crypto, says financial advisor Ric Edelman

Four years ago, financial advisor Ric Edelman went out on a limb in saying everyone should hold cryptocurrencies. But how much? Low single digits was his recommendation.

The first film was a blockbuster hit for the studio, which made $920 million globally after being made for a mere $100 million, which is small considering Disney’s usually oversized budge
