Arnold Schwarzenegger recently attended a screening of The Running Man, starring Glen Powell, and discussed one of his own films that was later remade. Thankfully, he wasn’t criticizing the new version of The Running Man itself, but the 2012 remake of Total Recall, which stars Colin Farrell as a man questioning whether his memories are real or implanted dreams.
I get that Barton Fink isn’t everyone’s first choice when it comes to the Coen Brothers’ films. Most people lean towards No Country for Old Men or The Big Lebowski, but it’s always been my personal favorite.

Maia, Charlie, Tallulah, and Alani have likely been to parties similar to the one thrown by online personality Quen Blackwell (playing herself) at Elijah Wood’s house—it’s a bit unusual, but go with it. However, Quen specifically inviting Tallulah after her popular video about Paulena changes everything.

Zlatko Burić is joining the cast of the new Disney+ series Wonder Man, Marvel Studios has announced. As seen in the first trailer for the show—revealed at New York Comic-Con 2025—Burić will play Von Kovak, a celebrated movie director within the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Hollywood.
I really love the comedy of Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, and this new show is some of their best work yet. But I’m not sure if the premise of The Chair Company is strong enough to sustain a long, ongoing story. Watching it as a limited series feels right, because it allows for unexpected and even bizarre twists. However, thinking of it as just the beginning of a multi-season arc feels a bit disappointing, especially if the ending provides a clear resolution. It’s hard to imagine what a second season would even be about – more scenes with the Troopers? A new plot focusing on Ron’s ego? Deeper explorations of his family or workplace? This show doesn’t seem built for that kind of extended storytelling.
