Wait, why the heck isn’t there a stunt category at theOscars? That question has become a major talking point and rallying point for cinephiles in recent years, and it’s easy to understand why. When you consider the enormous presence and importance of films like Star Wars, the Fast &‌ Furious franchise, and the MCU‌ at the box office and in the landscape of cinema at large, it’s pretty dang crazy that the crew members responsible for some of those films’ most iconic scenes aren’t getting awards recognition on par with their peers....

This will likely be the last time our box office coverage will lead withStar Wars: The Force Awakens. Come to think of it, it’s also one of the only times we’ve led with the number three film. But hey, breaking domestic records comes with its own protocol. In its fifth weekend in theatres,The Force Awakensearned an estimated $34 million.

Art’s collection is filled with limitless possibilities, a literal mixed bag of options....

Fact:Akira Kurosawais one of the greatest directors of all time. Many would argue he’s the best,considering just how much and how well he transitioned between genres, directing historical epics, Shakespearean adaptations, and modern crime stories. All of his movies delve into the human psyche and are ultimately philosophical stories about life, honor, love, hubris, and dedication.

It’s assumed that when children watch it on TV, their parents may be forced to sort of watch along with them to keep them company, so the showrunners opted to throw a few jokes that the parents would appreciate into the mix. A lot of times, this goes way beyond just naming the town “Bikini Bottom,” which is enough of an innuendo on its own....
