His Dark Materials Now Has One Very Obvious Thing In Common With Game Of Thrones

In this age of an increasingly fractured viewing audience, it’s unlikely that a TV show will reach the heights of Game of Thrones, but HBO does seem to be intentionally courting the same fantasy-loving audience with His Dark Materials. So far, it doesn’t seem to be working, and there are many, many differences between the two series that could explain U.S. viewers’ hesitance to tune into the Philip Pullman adaptation....

House Of The Dragon Episode 10 Review The Black Queen

House of the Dragon Episode 10 The world is old and it isn’t getting any younger. Every moment that passes, a little bit more of the historical narrative slips away into the ether, only to be replaced with a new hero, a new slight, a new disagreement, a new love, a new war. And the stuff that’s “lost” to history isn’t really lost at all. Even the forgotten moments of the past are oftentimes encoded into our very DNA or just melt into the collective unconscious....

How Cillian Murphy S Batman Screen Test Turned Into The Scarecrow

Murphy has fielded a successful career in film and television—notably starring on crime series Peaky Blinders—following his performance as Crane/Scarecrow in Batman Begins, which also included memorably madcap cameo reprisals in 2008’s The Dark Knight and 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises.

How Liam Neeson Went Into The Ice For Real In His New Movie

It’s a unique scenario that is especially suited to Neeson’s talents as a latter-era action hero, with the Irish actor bringing the same vulnerability and everyman sensibility to the role that makes all his action-movie roles relatable to audiences.

That never quite happened, but the ways that the fates of those two projects began, diverged, met, and ultimately split helped shape the future of gaming in ways you may may not know about....

Young Justice Season 4 Episode 7 Getting off of Mars was the best thing to happen to Young Justice: Phantoms, and even though it returns there this week, the parallel structure of the episode combined with the show taking on a HUGE story from the comics and making some pretty significant improvements to it, even if it doesn’t quite land in the end. Plot-wise, not a ton happens this week. Miss Martian, her sister, and J’onn head back to Earth after M’gann cracks her brother’s skull a little and finds out he didn’t know the gene bomb was laced with kryptonite....
