Train Dreams Review - IGN Train Dreams review: Clint Bentley’s soft-spoken Western is one of the most quietly beautiful films of the year.

I reviewed Clint Bentley's Train Dreams for IGN, a poignant pastoral Western featuring excellent performances from Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones and some of the most gorgeous cinematography you'll see all year:

40 Years Later, Lifeforce Is Still the Most Insane Would-Be Blockbuster Ever Released

Even 40 years after its release, the sci-fi/horror/zombie movie about space vampires may still be the most bonkers big-budget film of all time.

40 Years Later, Lifeforce Is Still the Most Insane Would-Be Blockbuster Ever Released - IGN If you’re looking for something different for your Halloween party this year, look no further than the 1985 Tobe Hooper film Lifeforce, starring Mathilda May and Steve Railsback. Even 40 years after i...

For its 40th anniversary, I used my Halloween piece to write about Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, and why this horny space vampire movie is still the most insane big budget film of all time:

I was going to photoshop a fake news announcement about one of them being announced for showrunner as a joke, but this is how it feels googling which writers for the first three seasons of Doctor Who are still alive:

Can Doctor Who get a showrunner who didn't write in its first three seasons now

Every day this fucking technology makes the world worse and no one is doing a damn thing to stop it

This is literally why I came back here today lmao

Excellent article from @carlosalonzom.bsky.social on why we need to adjust our box office expectations (CBMs especially). If a film makes ENOUGH $ for itself (let alone greenlighting a sequel) then that's all that matters. Merchandise sales & streaming deals certainly help. bsky.app/profile/ign....

With the New Lex Luthor, James Gunn’s Superman Unlocks the Trick to Supervillains - IGN Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor runs away with the DC Universe’s first film, James Gunn's Superman.

This article by @carlosalonzom.bsky.social is worth a read. Hoult's Lex is one of my CBM villains in recent memory primarily because he HATES Superman in all his petty glory. Sometimes a villain being truly evil (backed by a passionate performance) is all you need.

To save the superhero movie, we need to bring back themes In the post-Endgame landscape, superhero movies like Captain America: Brave New World have abandoned themes for synergy.

I've been hard on the AV Club, a once vital & essential culture site that turned into a rote clearing house for thinly written click bait, but this is an excellent deconstruction of the disastrous post-Endgame MCU. I was surprised until i saw @carolinesiede.bsky.social wrote it. She knows her shit.

Anybody who voted for Emilia Perez to win *any* award is an unserious person and should never be listened to in any context ever again

It really is time for the MCU to stop using military imagery (and military contributions in general) to prop up their superheroes. Sam's Cap should just be a civilian superhero at this point. My hope is that once the F4 and X-Men arrive that Marvel let's us root for underdogs for a change.

Captain America: Brave New World Is the MCU’s Military Fetishism at Its Worst - IGN Captain America: Brave New World proves that Marvel Studios has come to have a military fetish -- and that it doesn't understand what makes Cap work as a character anymore.

Captain America: Brave New World isn't great, and a big reason why is that it's the worst example yet of the MCU romanticizing the military. I dove into why this ruins the movie @IGN:

Captain America 4 is pretty bad. What happened to Marvel. We used to be a real country

From an email from Hulu announcing changes to the subscription: "We are clarifying that, as we continue to increase the breadth and depth of the content we make available to you, circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our 'no ads' or 'ad free' subscription tiers."

Incredible updates from Hulu

This includes often derided characters like Wanda and Jeff, who I think are undervalued because a lot of the community doesn't know what they can add to a team comp

Probably my most controversial take on Rivals is that it's very well-balanced overall. There are still some adjustments needed but aside from maybe Black Widow needing a serious buff there isn't an outright bad character in the game

To be frank, if you "need" a defensive ultimate to win a match then you are not very good at the game. Defensive ults are nice to have but they aren't the be all and end all

It's actually crazy that so many Rivals players are still Rocket deniers when he has one of the highest winrates. He is an elite healer in all situations but people think he's bad because he doesn't have a "don't die" button for his ultimate

I love Rivals but dropping divisions mid-season is crazy. Please don't do this
