Netflix to run new Rocko's Modern Life and Invader Zim movies

by William Hughes on News, shared by William Hughes to The A.V. Club

Ensuring that streaming day will continue to be a very dangerous day, Nickelodeon announced this morning that it’s just sold two new TV movies reviving beloved “kids” series Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim—the “kids” in quotes there because both of those shows tended to fall pretty far on the “whoa, that’s fucked…

This is so fucking funny

With former SNL writer and current stand-up star John Mulaney hosting this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, former SNL star and current purveyor of giggly late-night parlor games Jimmy Fallon thought, “Well, since he’s in the building . . . ,” and booked Mulanay for Thursday’s Tonight Show. And since Mulaney has been…

Alienate friends and family with "super realistic" masks based on your pets

Jesus Christ. Pasta? Rosie?

Showing cute photos of your cats or dogs to disinterested friends gets stale after a while. There are only so many times you can bore loved ones with a gallery of kitty sitting like a human or doggo tilting its head to one side before the thrill of absolutely killing a conversation starts to wear thin.

We've Been to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Life Will Never Be the Same 

by Germain Lussier on io9, shared by Laura M. Browning to The A.V. Club

I mean, it might be incredible

For Star Wars fans, two things have always been true. It’s a world we all dream of visiting but will never actually be able to. Star Wars is a movie, of course. Fiction. The sets and places only exist in far off studios for a few months at a time, or as ones and zeroes on the servers of visual effects companies. None…

Cooking a perfect ramen egg is no magic trick

Homemade Ramen..interdasting

There is irony to the U.S. fascination with eggs in ramen. Don’t get me wrong. Few things in life are more delicious than a marinated, aromatic egg encapsulating a jiggly yolk.

Villeneuve's reckless Dune casting threatens to use up Hollywood's entire supply of blockbuster stars

by William Hughes on News, shared by William Hughes to The A.V. Club

All this makes me want to read the rest of the series

We have to assume that Dune director Denis Villeneuve has read Frank Herbert’s sprawling science fiction classic on at least more than one occasion. He doesn’t seem to have picked up the novel’s underlying environmental conservation message, though, at least if the casting for his upcoming movie is any indication:…

Sacramento has a new sports bar called Costanza’s, which will host its grand opening Sunday to coincide with the Super Bowl. The bar offers karaoke, happy-hour specials, and according to its Facebook page, “smoked meat food options until 3 a.m.” So why is this news? Because though most of the bar’s TVs will be tuned…

OH FUCK YES

Dwayne Johnson is often credited with helping to revive the once-ailing Fast &amp; Furious franchise, his debut as crafty lawman Luke Hobbs dovetailing with the series’ transformation into turbo-charged action spectacle. But, throughout his Fast tenure, Johnson appears to have alienated a few cast members in Vin Diesel

The spice is nice, and so, as it turns out, is the cast of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, which has been a real cavalcade of “Yeah, that makes sense” picks from the Arrival director. Now, Deadline is reporting that Javier Bardem is signing on for a job on the arid hell-world of Arrakis, joining a cast that includes Timothée…

It's still not gonna be as fun without Fuller

For nearly the entire first season, Starz’s American Gods operated on some pretty straightforward dramatic irony: We as viewers recognize that these fantastical people that Ricky Whittle’s Shadow Moon encounters on his cross-country adventure with are literal gods, and his new pal Mr. Wednesday is trying to round some…

And adults

Children, bless their tiny hearts, have awful taste in media.

This movie is so fucking good

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is a delight from pretty much start to finish, somehow telling the story of six (or, technically, seven) different Spider-people without giving any of them short shrift or getting muddled in the process. Among the movie’s many enjoyable recurring jokes—including one of the best riffs…

Jimmy Kimmel endangers nation's parents with Fortnite TV stunt

I'm sharing this because it's a fun idea, but it's not that good. Maybe future iterations will be better. It's probably because the kids are a bit older than the halloween candy kids? It's just a lot of FUCK! and then hitting. Feel free to skip

If 2018 has taught us anything, it’s that kids love playing Fortnite just about as much as they hate not playing Fortnite. In recognition of this, the latest “YouTube Challenge” issued on Jimmy Kimmel Live involves parents simply turning off the TV while their kids are in the middle of an online, unpausable Fortnite

This movie consistently gets love

As a kid who didn’t grow up with it, to watch Hackers (or even a trailer for Iain Softley’s 1995 techno-thriller) is to laugh. Its aesthetic, its language, and, most of all, its rudimentary vision of cyberspace is, on the surface, wildly hilarious. If you really watch the movie, however, all that coalesces into…

What a perfect time to buy the whole damn thing

The Amazon exclusive 36-disc Dragon Ball Z: Seasons 1-9 Blu-Ray Collection is rarely in stock. And even more rarely is it on sale, as it as today for an all-time low $93, the first time we’ve ever seen it under $100. That comes out to just under 1.4 cents per minute of content, which is pretty cheap for entertainment.…
