People come together over food. On a large scale, it is a great way to share one’s culture with the world. More personally, it’s one way to share love. As a child, you most likely had a favorite meal prepared lovingly for you by a parent, aunt or uncle, authority figure, or grandparent. A meal that even into your adult years, still tastes like home and can warm your soul on no good, very rotten days.

One of the sticks used to constantly beat the SnyderVerse over the head with has been its inherent darkness. Not every comic book blockbuster has to hit the same notes as the family-friendly Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there are a lot of people who find Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder’s Justice League too long for their own good, and the self-serious approach to the material and almost complete absence of any levity has been a point of consternation for many critics and casual viewers.

Another debate has unfolded as Magic The Gathering‘s The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set approaches its release. Fortunately, this argument has nothing to do with skin color, but rather a line from the book. Now we finally get to know who in the MTG and LOTR community has read the source material and who only saw the Peter Jackson adaptations. Recommended Videos A few Lord of the Rings and Magic the Gathering fans were upset that a card that featured Gandalf’s iconic line is named ‘differently.

Recommended Videos Can you talk a little bit about Malvo’s physicality. In some shots he reminds me more than anything of the film character Nosferatu. I don’t know if that’s his code or how you’re holding yourself when you play him. Is that something you thought about? To me, a big part of his menace is how he appears when he’s not talking. Billy Bob Thornton: That’s a very good question and no one else has compared Malvo to Nosferatu, but that’s pretty good, I like that.

Recommended Videos Though you may not be familiar with the name Destin Cretton just yet, he is certainly a director on the rise. He recently released the very well received indie Short Term 12 this past Summer and now, he’s booked his first major studio flick as Variety is reporting that the director will hop on board Lionsgate’s The Glass Castle, which has Jennifer Lawrence set for the lead. The film will see the Hunger Games star playing a girl using her imagination to deal with her dysfunctional family, which includes an art obsessed mother and an alcoholic father.

Julia Stiles was nowhere in sight in season 5’s premiere and I already missed her; this was one of “Dexter’s” most plodding episodes ever. That’s not to say “My Bad” didn’t do important work. Recommended Videos The episode picks up where last season’s finale left off. Dexter (Michael C. Hall) has just discovered Rita’s (Julie Benz) body in a bathtub of bloody water—Trinity’s grisly parting gift, discovered as Dexter returns from dispatching season 4’s adversary.

Think what you will of Bradley Cooper, but you can’t deny his talent. Recommended Videos The man has appeared in a massive range of roles, but his incoming Netflix release is a far cry from his days in Failure to Launch or even Guardians of the Galaxy. Early reactions hint toward the award-winning potential of Maestro, Cooper’s latest project, which he wrote, directed, and stars in. The film is already being discussed as an Oscar contender several times over and Cooper is a huge part of that.

Warning: The following article contains major spoilers for the ending of Attack on Titan. Recommended Videos It’s quite obvious to any Attack on Titan fan that Mikasa Ackerman and Eren Yeager’s relationship is an important element of the story. In a world where combat for survival is often the priority, the series doesn’t have much time for romance, but even so, it’s there. Mikasa’s devotion, loyalty, and love for Eren are palpable from the very beginning (and no, it’s not a familial type of love) but the same cannot always be said about the protagonist.

Warning: the following article contains spoilers for Insidious: The Red Door. Recommended Videos While Insidious may have gone down the path of just about every other successful horror franchise by churning out sequel after sequel of increasingly lackluster quality, the fact that the original film’s cast has returned for Insidious: The Red Door has gotten many a genre enthusiast off the couch and into the theater. There’s also a solid chance this may apply to you, and you’re currently seated in a darkened cinema as the credits roll their way down the screen.
