As far as Trump-era government agencies go, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has a few things going for it. It seems to be actually making an effort to accomplish its stated goal of protecting the public from injury or death due to consumer products. It is run by an actual government administrator,…

If you are like me and saw the incredible green E28 BMW 5 Series in the Mission: Impossible Fallout trailer and immediately caught the disease of desire for one, I have bad news. The movie comes out this week, it’s surprisingly great, and now everyone else is also going to want an E28.

Lena Waithe became the first black woman to ever win an Emmy for Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series last year, so Showtime has wisely decided that it would be a good idea for it to keep her around. Waithe is the creator of Showtime’s The Chi, and according to Variety, she has also just signed a first-look deal…

If you take a look at the top trending list on YouTube today, you’ll find the above video. For anyone familiar with creepypasta or the type of stuff on the r/NoSleep subreddit, this video isn’t particularly noteworthy. It’s a trio of spooky, “true” stories that capitalize on people’s fear of dark places and erratic…

Neil Breen, a Las Vegas architect by day and the Apollo Creed to Tommy Wiseau’s Rocky Balboa by night, has just announced a new entry into his charmingly low-rent metaphysical outsider cinema oevure. Yesterday, Breen announced his fifth theatrical feature film (emphasis Breen’s), called Twisted Pair, on Twitter:

It’s always nice to have a good bank of movies to watch on your next flight, long line at the post office, or whenever else you might have some down time.

Over a year ago, we reported that a Judge Dredd TV show was in development from indie studio IM Global and Rebellion (the video game studio that now owns 2000 AD, the comic where Dredd originated). That was the last real movement we had heard about on the project, save for some talk about whether or not Karl Urban—who…

Comedian and director Bobcat Goldthwait is the latest Hollywood figure to weigh in on Disney’s decision to fire writer/director James Gunn from the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. That decision came after a targeted campaign led by “alt-right” Twitter users including Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich unearthed…

Once upon a time, Jonah Hill was just the guy from Superbad. He’s good in Superbad! But now we are living in a world where Jonah Hill has been nominated for two Oscars, and is the guy from Superbad no more. Your latest instance of Jonah Hill being pretty darned impressive comes courtesy of A24, which is home to Hill’s…

On The Level examines one small part of a larger game.

A good trailer can really make or break a film. If that tightly edited two-minute clip does its job well, previously uninterested audiences may find themselves brimming with anticipation. On the other hand, a clunky or overly expository trailer may be the first of many flashing warning signs that read, “This movie you…

Usually, you’re lucky if you look at a film festival lineup and see a handful of interesting movies in the mix. But this year’s Toronto International Film Fest is no ordinary beast.

Yesterday, Dan Harmon left Twitter following the resurfacing of a nearly decade-old webseries called “Daryl.” In the first episode, which the Community creator introduces as a “controversial new pilot,” Harmon can be seen sexually assaulting a baby doll and, in the second episode, reportedly assaulting a cat. It had…

It may be hard to imagine in the midst of this awful, sweltering summer, but it will be autumn soon. As the season changes, we can look forward to the return of all sorts of annual traditions: pumpkin-flavored drinks, Halloween, crisp days walking next to russet-leaved trees, and, most revered and ancient of all…

In our monthly book club, we discuss whatever we happen to be reading and ask everyone in the comments to do the same. This month we’re reading short stories available online from authors who’ve published books this year. What Are You Reading This Month?

Jesse Camp, the late-’90s MTV host and winner of the first Wanna Be A VJ competition on the channel, is missing. People reports that Camp, 38, was first reported missing by his sister Marisha on July 19. Riverside, California police officer Ryan Railsback confirmed that his department was looking into the…

Hello there. My name is Paul Maroon, and I’m a professional musician who’s played in bands for the past 30 years, most recently in a group called The Walkmen. In that time, I’ve picked up a fair amount of information, some of which is actually pretty useful: How to kill a week at a Toronto airport hotel. How to solve…

If size trumps features in your hierarchy of TV needs, this 65" JVC 4K TV is a steal for just $500, or $150 less than elsewhere. It doesn’t have smart apps, and its self-described HDR support is...vague, so I wouldn’t expect top-shelf picture quality. But you just don’t see 65" TVs for $500 very often.

The discounts aren’t quite as deep as Black Friday, but if you’ve caught Philips Hue fever, a bunch of bulbs, starter kits, and accessories are back on sale today, including 20% off the standard, color individual bulbs.

Today Hello Games is releasing something called No Man’s Sky Next. It is not a sequel to the massively ambitious 2016 game No Man’s Sky but rather the latest in an ongoing attempt to make it hew closer to what No Man’s Sky was once thought to be. This will be difficult for Hello Games to accomplish, given that, from…

Hey, remember how the Trump administration is locking kids in fucking cages? It’s been a week where the signature Trump strategy of swamping yesterday’s hateful, ludicrous, racist, unstable, dangerous gibberish with a new day’s fresh presidential toilet tweets about, say, nuking millions of people, has proved…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, July 24. All times are Eastern.

Over the last couple years, Caleb Landry Jones as subtly worked his way up to “hey, it’s that guy!” status with memorable appearances in Get Out, Twin Peaks, and Thrill Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which was a nice step up after his X-Men: First Class character was unceremoniously killed off-screen. Now, get…

Here’s the story of a lovely two-bedroom home near Los Angeles, that also had three very lovely bathrooms. All of them had hair of gold, like their mother, and that house is now up for sale. We are referring, of course, to the humble domicile located at 11222 Dilling Street in Studio City, California, better known as…
