Say what you like about Lindsay Lohan—for instance, that two decades of constant, unending public attention have hurt her in ways it would be impossible for an untrained outside observer to properly tease out, and which we are all passively or actively culpable in to some degree—but at least she keeps her reasons for…

Alas, comedy fans hoping to score up some Jim Carrey-produced content on Showtime will now have to content themselves with a single TV series (the recent, Michel Gondry-helmed Kidding). Deadline reports that the Carrey-produced stand-up series I’m Dying Up Here has now died, everywhere, and regardless of location.

You have already read the headline. I know that you do not want to hear this, and probably do not care, but I swear, it is appreciably and quantifiably better than any other streaming service. I say this as someone who was a fairly happy Spotify user for many years before finally switching to Apple Music earlier this…

It’s unfortunate that the vagaries of late-night TV scheduling occasionally conspire to keep hosts off the air when they otherwise might really rather be: Take, for example, Samantha Bee, whose TBS series Full Frontal typically takes the lead on righteously funny takedowns of America’s confirmed, loving commitment to…

Devo was finished. The quintet—brothers Jerry and Bob Casale and Mark, Bob, and Jim Mothersbaugh—had gotten about as far as they could in their hometown of Akron, Ohio. The former Rubber Capital of the World would eventually find a secondary renown for producing musical outcasts, but in the mid-1970s, its barflies,…

Today, Fox announced that it was delaying the big-eyed androids of Alita: Battle Angel from December 21 to February 14, with an “untitled Deadpool movie” replacing it on the schedule. That’s crazy, of course, because Deadpool 2 just came out earlier this year and December is way too soon to have a brand new Deadpool …

Last week, we reported that Disney was going to slow things down a bit on the Star Wars series, since Solo made it clear that audiences don’t necessarily need to see a new movie every single year, but that doesn’t mean anything’s going to change for Lucasfilm head—and mastermind of the modern Star Wars brand—Kathleen…

After a lackluster close—Downsizing, which I skipped for a Takashi Miike movie because I believe in self-care—to last year’s festival, Fantastic Fest wrapped up its 2018 edition with a more on-brand title, the kind of buzzy Hollywood genre project the festival has been increasingly courting over the past few years: …

One could easily argue that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have already been definitively portrayed at some point in the history of cinema, but that’s only because the world has yet to properly witness Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly’s Holmes And Watson. Finally, the two weirdos from Step Brothers are starring in a…

According to Variety, Warner Bros. has hired Portlandia co-creator Jonathan Krisel to direct the Sesame Street movie. We don’t really know much about the project, but the Variety story says it will be a musical and that it will be “live-action,” which hopefully means it’ll have regular puppets and not CG versions of…

Brett Kavanaugh, the drunken muppet and sex-pest, spent a few hours yesterday weepily lashing out against those who would dare challenge his caucasian male authority. You probably saw it on the news. While Kavanaugh’s angry tears and professions of love for beer were somehow in service of getting him a job on this…
