That's just Amazon being run by a robot. It officially releases 11/3 and should be readily stocked for the fall Barnes and Noble sale.
Criterion is NUTS to release Kpop Demon Hunters on 4K on Dec 31st. Like, literally two weeks earlier would guarantee much bigger sales...
"Run from the Ruler" is the new T-shirt slogan for WWE's Oba Femi. It's also the slogan of every Catholic school where nuns are the teachers.
Hilarious that everyone thought Jacob Fatu was "the Samoan Werewolf" because he's crazy and savage, but it turns out it's because the fucking werewolf in Twilight was named Jacob.

There's a one-off character that exists in the world of the Peanuts comic strip. Technically, he has no name. He also has no face, as we see him only from behind. He's a kid Charlie Brown meets at sum...

Favorite book from childhood? As my Northern-Irish English teacher used to call it, "WHOTership DYE-un" And having known the book well, I was not bothered by the movie at all.
The Brink of War, from Angel Studios, buys into every heroic fantasy of Ronald Reagan that the right used to have. My review: lytrules.substack.com/p/the-brink-...

Oh fuck no. However bad any of the writing has ever been on the show, Devlin is worse.

If Hugh Laurie has become a transphobe I would hope Stephen Fry might knock some sense into him.
Hugh Laurie publicly throwing his support behind an uber-Christian basketball player simply because she is vocally transphobic is a real choice. Like if I suddenly started supporting one particular random Aussie Rules Football player coz he was vocally in to retro Sega.
#TheEndOfOakStreet is not a secret Cloverfield movie. But it shows dinosaurs fucking, doggy style. Take that, Jurassic World movie with ScarJo and Mahershala!

I'm hoping Elliot Page being in The Odyssey makes Marvel less scared to cast Hunter Schafer as Mystique, because that seems like a good call to me.
Super Troopers was never funny. Broken Lizard's funniest movie is Beerfest, and it's not even that hilarious. I don't get 'em at all.

It's barely related to the article, but a pet peeve I've had my entire writing career is when copy editors change "hijinks" to "high jinks." It implies there are other kinds of jinks, and I do not believe there are.
