I would have seen the season 2 premiere of Star Wars Rebels which answered many of the questions I asked. Even better, if I could’ve talked to him two weeks later, I could have asked the show’s executive producer about his Fantastic Four director, Josh Trank, leaving the Star Wars universe....

Those who remember weekend nights spent at the video store, or who wish they could remember those nights, are pushing slowly for the return of some communal video/movie exploration experience. Because the video store was traditionally the home of VHS, a core component of this push is a wave of nostalgia for the classic video format....

Many consider this to be one of Shyamalan’s worst films, but maybe it’s time to finally celebrate the film for what it really is: a weird, funny B-movie. A film that should be embraced for its silliness, rather than hated....

Exploring The Most Intriguing Disney Urban Legends, Both True And Untrue By Joshua Meyer/Oct. 17, 2017 12:00 pm EST We’ve all heard the myth about Walt Disney having his body preserved in cryonic storage. In some tellings, it’s just his disembodied head that gets cryonically frozen. If you came of age in the 1990s, during the Disney Renaissance, you might also be familiar with how a bevy of inappropriate Easter eggs are said to be laced throughout the animated features of that period....
