Minority Mindset

The most memorable horror films don’t just provide a quick fright; they change the horror genre forever. Some achieve this by pioneering new ways to make movies, while others connect with our deepest fears in a way that remains unsettling even now. A truly great horror film stays with you, making even the most ordinary places, like a dark hallway, feel creepy long after you’ve finished watching – and that’s perhaps the most uniquely nerve-wracking thing about cinema.

There used to be a shared TV experience, where huge audiences tuned in live to avoid missing out on the next day’s discussions. Though NBC used the phrase “Must See TV” to promote its hit comedies, it now represents an entire era when popular shows captivated the nation and shaped what everyone talked about.

I just saw some newly released footage, courtesy of The Sun, and it’s…well, a bit strange. Apparently filmed earlier this year near King’s Cross in London, it shows a pretty heated exchange between a major MCU star and someone on a bicycle – and that cyclist was wearing a mask. It’s a surprisingly confrontational clip, and I’m definitely curious to learn more about what sparked the argument.

While Taylor Sheridan’s Westerns have gained popularity, other critically acclaimed shows have explored the genre in different ways. Many recent Western TV series are historical dramas, but they avoid the romanticized portrayal of the Old West often found in classic Westerns. A prime example is Netflix’s American Primeval, which blends characters reminiscent of Tombstone with the gritty violence of the horror film Bone Tomahawk. The series centers on Sara Rowell (Betty Gilpin) and her journey across the frontier to escape her past.

Nearly four months after it came out on January 16th, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company is being sued by two police officers from Miami. According to a new legal filing reported by Entertainment Weekly, the officers claim the film, The Rip, damaged their reputations through its portrayal of law enforcement and are accusing the duo of defamation.
