Oh Wow, 'Scream 7' Sucks Neve Campbell returns to the horror franchise, along with Courteney Cox, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding.

The best thing about bad movies is fun movie reviews.

So here's mine for #Scream7. Spoiler-free.

What's the opposite of clickbait?

Why 'Star Wars' Is the Franchise Ryan Gosling Finally Landed On The 'Project Hail Mary' star has, for the most part, avoided large franchises. That changes with 2027's 'Star Wars: Starfighter.'

Did I ask Ryan Gosling about Star Wars: Starfighter?

What do you think?

(Of course, he couldn't say much, and even with a question that tried to be a little broader, didn't say much. But hey! I got to ask him about it.)

That felt like taking a knife in the gut. Terrible. #scream7

Coming soon…

The 'Project Hail Mary' Team Explains How That Lego Came to Be io9 spoke to directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller and star Ryan Gosling about the cool Lego set.

If I'm gonna talk to the team behind #ProjectHailMary, you know I'm going to talk to them about that surprise Lego set.

Here's the story of how that happened, from Project Hail Mary (and Lego Movie) directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller themselves (with a Ryan Gosling cameo to boot!)

I have, and it does. Makes lots of concessions for time but also adds small, crucial new bits. A great adaptation.

What's the new movie news? Old news!

BRB working on my "Star Wars Gets Exciting New TV Show" article, but it's about The Mandalorian! It's not a lie. It's just not timely.

#ProjectHailMary is pure joy. Hilarious, heartfelt, hugely moving, wildly exciting and absolutely beautiful. The 160 minutes go by in an instant as Lord and Miller keep Weir’s narrative moving like a rocket ship. Gosling is better than ever and the Rocky effects are mind blowing

My State of the Union. #ProjectHailMary

One of my favorite posts in internet history, back from the dead.

A fair point to be sure. There are a lot of very, very dated, cringeworthy things in the film, which many films of the era suffer from.

I Can't Stop Thinking About the 'Star Wars' T-Shirt in This 2004 Hilary Duff Movie 'A Cinderella Story' includes a very weird 'Star Wars' reference and we're determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Darth Vader was framed."

It's a shirt worn by Simon Helberg in the 2004 Hilary Duff movie, A Cinderella Story, which I saw recently.

What the hell did it mean? Who framed him, exactly? Especially in a pre-Revenge of the Sith world. It made no sense.

So, I investigated.

I had 0 expectations or excitement going into #Hoppers , but damned if it’s not a full on, works on every level, top tier Pixar movie.

Of course it’s adorable, funny and emotional. That you expect. What you don’t is it takes chances, gets dark, and creepy too. It’s truly special

Just put the finishing touches on something that is both some of my finest journalism, but also, without a doubt, the dumbest, most random thing I've ever written.

Publishes Tuesday.

No love for Chunnel, huh?

Yousa thinking yousa greater than the Gungans?

Being quoted in a movie ad is always cool, but I think it's even cooler to find one of my pieces cited on Wikipedia.

For Scream 4...

Make Time (Travel) to See 'Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie' The new pop culture comedy starring Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol is now in theaters.

I loved Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie even though I knew nothing about it.

Indiana Jones Exists in the 'Shrinking' Universe, But Who Plays Him? The latest episode of the Apple TV show gave Harrison Ford a very meta moment, and we loved it.

Wrote about this week's big geek news.

A truly unforgettable performance.

And the late great JVB.

The Director of 'Predator: Badlands' Goes Deep on the Ending, Callbacks, Deleted Scenes, and More Dan Trachtenberg also told io9 a story he was worried he'd have to take to his grave about an early reaction to the film.

I had an awesome chat w/ @dantrachtenberg.bsky.social about all things Predator: Badlands, which is streaming tomorrow and on 4K next week.

We talked about multiple endings, the key inspirations, deleted scenes, the moment he thought his career was OVER during post-production & more!

Check it out!

The first person I thought of was you.

Dan Trachtenberg’s Paramount Deal Doesn’t Kill His 'Predator' Plans The director of 'Prey' and 'Predator: Badlands' spoke to io9 about his filmmaking future.

I was excited to see that Dan Trachtenberg signed a new deal at Paramount, but was also like, "Uhhhh, what does that mean for Predator?"

Does it mean he won't be directing any new Predator movies?

“It does not mean that,” Trachtenberg just told me.

I ordered it too, but I also complained about the price. $32 dollars? Insanity. There better be ALOT of photos in it.

Funny Business by Matt Singer: 9798217047949 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books A behind-the-scenes look at the rise (and eventual fall) of the raunchy, blockbuster “Frat Pack” comedy films of the early 2000s—including The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Old School, Wedding...

My new book on 2000s Hollywood comedies, Funny Business, will be available on October 6 and is officially up for pre-order right now. In my wholly objective opinion, you and every person in your family should do that. You can order your copy at the link below.

All things I mention in my article! But cool to hear you have the release and it's good.

Somehow, I'd Never Heard of This Post-Apocalyptic Football Movie 'The Blood of Heroes' was released in 1989 and stars Rutger Hauer, Delroy Lindo, and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Every once in a while, I write something insanely random for a not-so-random reason.

Like this article, where I was spitballing sci-fi Super Bowl-themed ideas and happened upon a post-apocalyptic football movie I'd never seen or heard of.

With Rutger Hauer, Vincent D'Onofrio and Delroy Lindo!

As I mention in the intro, it's a straight drama so I didn't include it because we just cover genre stuff. But, it would be lower down the list.

On what’s been a terrible weekend with everything happening in the US, this brought me a huge amount of joy.
