Was your favorite movie snubbed?

If they don't know who sees dead people, then they're too young for you.

What's in a name like Optimus Prime or Scar or Captain Nemo? Let's find out, together. This... is Canonball.

Did you guys know that movies and TV…are not real? Crazy, I know. It can be shocking and even harrowing to discover that screenwriters do not actually know the 411 on the industries they write about. Whether it be Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, or even Grey's Anatomy , I can practically guarantee you that none of the writers of those shows have ever been a cop, firefighter, or doctor. Because of this lack of industry overlap, there are countless discr…

I have to return some videotapes

Annabelle, and Chucky, move aside!

This may be hard for some people to believe, but millennials weren't always the weary, depressed, broke people lined up to order the latest take on avocado toast or specialty coffee beverages. Nay, we were once young and full of life and hope. Just kidding, we were once young and battling an incredibly toxic culture surrounding body image that seemed to come at us from all angles. While the thin and sickly “heroin chic" look had fallen out of style by the mid-nineties, slimness was still the ph…

Justice for Mojo Jojo

Some say that all Hollywood is these days is unoriginal sequels and remakes , and they aren't entirely wrong. However, not all franchises are created equally, and there are some crappy remakes that I will always be willing to see. My favorite franchises that have been repeatedly rehashed are Batman and Willy Wonka. I'm still conflicted over whether the OG Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) is better than the remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). The remake came out when I w…

Happy Tuesday, meme freaks! We're back with another rousing selection of the most entertaining Lord of the Rings memes we saw this week . As the holidays approach, the weather gets colder, and we (hopefully) have a few days off, we're feeling pretty good. Why? Because it's definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, Lord of the Rings marathon season. Some people of you may decry the Hobbit trilogy, but whether you're watching six movies or three, anyone partaking in a marathon has got their work c…

Cue that John Williams score

The film bro community is one of the most oppressed groups in modern history. Well, not really, but they don't deserve a lot of the slack they get online. Sure, there is something annoying about a pretentious guy trying to overexplain well-known filmmakers to you like you're a baby. Unfortunately the label of “film bro” has gotten so muddied over the past couple of years, it is now used to describe anyone with slightly non-normative tastes in movies. The term “film bros” used to represent a gro…

Somebody make these

Return to Pandora

I love Hallmark Christmas movies . Well, maybe love is too strong of a term. I will watch at least one Hallmark Christmas movie yearly to bask in the channel's dedication to repetitiveness, cheapness, and corniness. It makes me feel comforted that hundreds of practically identical movies are playing on the Hallmark Channel all day, every day, during this time of year. Even during the rest of the year, the Hallmark Channel has committed itself to the values of churning out the same tired stuff b…

When Love Actually came out in theaters, I had just turned fifteen years old. My friends and I were slight anglophiles who worshipped accented singers like Robert Smith and Damon Albarn, and watched period pieces after school. The star-studded cast of Richard Curtis ' Christmas film made a screening a no-brainer. Colin Firth? Hugh Grant? Alan Rickman? Emma Thompson? I mean, come on. All the big names. It was mandatory. We had to see it, so we did and boy, did we love it. Sure, some of the plotl…
