Christopher Nolan thinks Zack Snyder is some kind of powerfully influential artistic genius
Christopher Nolan’s Dark KnightAvengers: Endgame (and yet they keep making the things), but if you were to ask Nolan, he’d say there’s someone else out there making more influential blockbusters than he is: Zack Snyder. Yes, the same Zack Snyder we all know from those Zack Snyder movies, not some arthouse Zack Snyder. - Sam Barsanti Read More
Ads are coming to Prime Video in January
Fresh off of what has most likely been another ungodly lucrative holiday season (there are other places where you can buy things, folks), Amazon has apparently decided that it’s sick of all of this “peace” and “goodwill” shit that everyone has been talking about for a month and will instead be embracing greed and antagonism (is that the opposite of goodwill?) for 2024. - Sam Barsanti Read More

We’ll take “a series that just keeps landing itself in the headlines” for $200, please. Earlier this month, former Jeopardy! co-host Mayim Bialik announced that “Sony has informed me” that she would no longer be hosting the syndicated version of the stalwart trivia competition moving forward (a.k.a. the main version of the show that broadcasts on primetime television).

The holiday box office was pretty merry for The Color Purple, middling for Aquaman
Even if most cities didn’t have a white Christmas this year, it was a green Christmas at the box office this year. With three major releases all slated on Christmas day—that’s The Color Purple, Ferrari, and The Boys In The Boat—families were keen to leave eggnog and wrapping paper behind to watch Adam Driver drive (ha) and Callum Turner row. All in all, the box office’s four-day total was up 11% from this time last year, despite a massive 2022 showing by Avatar: The Way Of Water drowning out this year’s equally water-based winner (via Deadline). - Emma Keates Read More
Barack Obama’s list of the best movies of 2023 sure has a lot of Barack Obama movies on it
It’s a long-standing tradition for Barack Obama—who’s done a lot of work, over the years, to cultivate his image as “The President who might actually like a movie you like”—to release lists of his pop culture consumption. This year, though, Obama’s listing of his favorite films of the year was a bit different—in so far as it was topped with a number of movies that Obama had himself produced, through his film production business Higher Ground. - William Hughes Read More
