Until June of this year, that is, when word broke thatLostco-creator and showrunnerDamon Lindelofwas in early talks to develop theWatchmenseries for HBO....

From creatorsChristopher FordandJon Watts,Star Wars: Skeleton Crewis the latestlive-actionStarWarsseriesto hit streaming on Disney+, sitting snugly betweenTheAcolyteand the upcoming second season ofAndor. What could once be comfortably considered a franchise is now more of an ever-growing pantheon, so it’s entirely reasonable to get tripped up when tracking where each new iteration of Star Wars falls on the timeline. Lately, whether we see a present-day version ofMark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker or adigitally de-aged representationhas been the easiest method of pinpointing where we are in franchise continuity....

My biggest concern when All This Shit™ started really popping off in my neighborhood around March—besides A) Dying, and B) The possibility I wouldn’t be watchingGodzilla vs. Kongin a theater come 2021—is that we, as a society, would normalize the idea of being stuck inside. That it would become less of an urgent matter we need to work to get through as quickly as possible and more of the thing we’re just living with, what-can-ya-do-shrug....

FBI: International’s Amanda Tate (Christina Wolfe) has successfully completed her first undercover assignment, and what a thrill that was! “The Unwinnable War” episode saw her joinWes (Jesse Lee Soffer)and the team in Spain to investigate a dirty U.S. DEA special agent who ends up taking a deal instead of going on trial.

Produced on a reported budget of $400 million,The Way of Watermade an estimated $134 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office....

After opening to $5 million on a budget of $100 million, most of which came straight out of directorFrancis Ford Coppola’s pocket, it’s fair to sayMegalopolisis one of the biggest, if not the biggest, box office flops of the year. PerhapsMegalopolis' saddest box office statistic is that, despite receiving a full theatrical release in the United States, the film has (so far) failed to earn more thanGlen Powell’sHit Man, the Netflix original movie which premiered only in overseas markets for a limited time....

A future trivia scenario is brewing at the box office this weekend, with two clown-centric films clashing with each other for the top spot. While the holdover releaseJoker: Folie à Deuxis looking to under-perform for the second time in a row, the debutanteTerrifier 3is looking to capitalize on the audience’s absolute rejection of that film with a surprisingly solid opening. And unlikeJoker: Folie à Deux, which attracted venomous audience response and earned an unprecedented (for a comic book film) D CinemaScore,Terrifier 3is proving to be quite popular with its target demographic....

However, before the character was embodied byJenna Ortega, the titular detective was portrayed byChristina Ricci, who many saw as the classic Wednesday.
