How This Diehard ‘Fast & Furious’ Fan Fell Hard for the ‘Hobbes and Shaw’ Trailer

About midway through Aquaman, the surprisingly self-aware Jason Momoa basically looks into the camera and utters the most obvious line of his career: "I am a blunt instrument, and I'm damn good at it."

A Grinch’s Guide to Atypical Holiday Movies
If you're like me (and you aren't because I'm special goddammit) then you are tired of watching the same 3 overly saccharine Christmas movies every year. Luckily, there has been a cultural uprising as of late to include Die Hard into the Christmas movie line-up as a sweet piece of counter-culture. It's a good start,… Read More "A Grinch’s Guide …
