For @ign.com, @tarabennett.bsky.social talks exclusively to Chris Carter about his new film Queens for a Day and the director's cut of The X-Files: I Want To Believe: www.ign.com/articles/x-f...

Eric Bauza, the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and hundreds of other characters, has died at 46. We look back at the extraordinary range of his work and his tireless advocacy for animation and the artists who make it possible. www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/eric-bau...

Eric Bauza was the People's Bugs Bunny, he fought tirelessly to get Coyote vs. Acme released, he was on the front lines of strikes supporting writers and actors, this is a huge loss

LAIKA's #Wildwood is a marvel of stop-motion skills married to technology; the culmination of the studio's evolution. For @avclub.com, I spoke w/ Travis Knight & members of his team to breakdown how it all melds together in The General chase sequence (Light spoilers) www.avclub.com/laika-wildwo...

#ChrisCarter has directed his 2nd feature, Queens for a Day, written by his wife, Dori. For @ign.com, I spoke w/ him about going indie to make this absorbing cautionary tale akin to Rod Serling's Twlight Zone allegories & his I Want to Believe recut reaction: www.ign.com/articles/x-f...

Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:

This story of how Elon Musk’s massive data center in Mississippi is pushing out a Black family that has already fought to keep their land is an important reminder of how these facilities have long-lasting impacts on people, our planet and environmental justice.

Here in Palm Springs, it’s estimated that *at least* 1 out of every 20 people are currently infectious with COVID. It’s crazy throughout California, throughout the South, and all around NYC. Interactive map below, worth checking out, especially if you’re immunocompromised.

The Kings are back, right when we need them most. Cupertino (on CBS, streaming on @paramountplus.com) skewers, exposes & satirizes the thin skin of Silicon Valley. Mike Colter & Rachel Keller lead a great ensemble. My @ign.com review: www.ign.com/articles/cup...

Quite the read. 👀

One of the episodes I wrote for the show was a “oner”, one long continuous take for the entirety of the episode. It was an insane challenge we threw at our director Rick and his crew and boy did they absolutely meet the moment. You can read about how we pulled it off below.

Peacock dropped the trailer for their thriller/mystery limited series #TheGoodDaughter today which stars Rose Byrne, Meghann Fahy & Brendan Gleeson. My NBC Insider coverage: www.peacocktv.com/blog/watch-p...

#TheLoveHypothesis is available globally on @primevideo.bsky.social today. A delightful rom-com that’s unapologetically meta about its tropes. But it excels because of its great cast (featuring excellent chemistry) to elevate its overall thesis. My @ign.com review:

It's #TheLoveHypothesis day for those who read the book & are watching the @primevideo.bsky.social adaptation. Below is my story behind the rom-com - how it started as fan fiction, then got published, became a global hit & now is a streaming movie. Women are writing what they want to read & see. 🔥

seven years ago, the new skydance paramount warner empire was five different companies

the layers of what's going on in The Love Hypothesis were far, far beyond me, so I asked Tara to get to the bottom of it

For @avclub.com, I speak with #TheLoveHypothesis director Claire Scanlon & producer Elizabeth Cantillon about how disappointed but creative fans are feeding the fan fiction-to-screen pipeline, w/ streaming as the new home for rom-coms. @primevideobrasil.bsky.social www.avclub.com/the-love-hyp...

Season 2 of #StrangerThingsTalesFrom85 dropped today on @netflix.com. It remains beautiful to watch, but continues to be a snooze in terms of its narrative. My @ign.com review. www.ign.com/articles/str...

The contents of this report are horrifying.

Burnett explained that while the sketch was brilliantly written, it called for "Starlett" to "come down the stairs with the curtains just hanging" on her. Mackie, thinking the visual element could be funnier, "came up with the idea of making the dress with the curtain rod. I fell on the floor."

In their first Halloween feature film, Aardman is baaaaah-ck with their third #ShauntheSheep chapter that is a delightful love-letter to horror tropes & classic horror cinema. A fun installment that rewards generational audiences. My @ign.com review: www.ign.com/articles/sha...

Christian Bale quietly dedicated roughly 17 years to developing a foster care village in Palmdale, California. The $20–22 million project was intentionally designed to keep siblings together in the foster system, providing them with family-style homes. It opened this week. Original post

Correction: it’s not that he misunderstands it. It’s that he doesn’t understand it at all.

Practical Magic is not a perfect film, but it had a stellar cast & impeccable Wiccan vibes. It's surprising Hollywood magic that Practical Magic 2 was made, but it's disappointing that this even better cast is given such a messy script. My @ign.com review: www.ign.com/articles/pra...

A travesty and an incalculable loss. This man was protecting our history for EVERYONE.
