When Doreen first appeared in “Marvel Super-Heroes,” she met Iron Man and wanted to be his heroic sidekick....

Daisy Ridley Has A Funny Memory Of That Emotional ‘The Rise Of Skywalker’ Hug Scene With Carrie Fisher By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 5, 2019 4:00 pm EST We may never learn what Bill Murray whispered in Scarlett Johansson’s ear in Lost in Translation, but we at least will know what Carrie Fisher whispered in Daisy Ridley’s ear during their emotional hug scene in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer It’s a good thing this is listed as the “final trailer,” because all of those delays necessitated a lengthier marketing campaign than usual, and we now find ourselves in the weird position of feeling as if we’ve seen three quarters of the movie already thanks to all of the TV spots and trailers that have already been released. We’ve seen and heard allusions to the original 1984 Ghostbusters squad in previous trailers (largely through the presence of Dan Aykroyd’s Ray Stantz), but this trailer makes it explicit that Bill Murray is coming back to portray one of his most famous cinematic roles: Dr....
It’s Not Enough gnepphoto/Shutterstock Multiple outlets are reporting that IATSE members don’t think the deal addresses their concerns, and that some of their most important points were ignored. “Basically nothing has changed,” Los Angeles-based director of photography Ernesto Lomeli told Variety. “I have not heard a single person saying they will vote yes.” The details of the deal have to be translated into a legal contract, so it’s likely that we’re still several weeks out from a ratification vote....

Lady Gaga in The Telltale Moozadell As you can see from the clip above, there’s really not much to Gaga’s “Sopranos” appearance.

Then, one of them smashes up some nearby trophy cases. All the while, the young Stefani Germanotta sits laughing on the sidelines with her friends....

The Alternate Army Of Darkness Ending Sam Raimi Wanted Us To See Universal Pictures By Lee Adams/Nov. 4, 2021 1:10 pm EST Sometimes, a director’s idea of the perfect ending isn’t what the studio wants us to see. Just take Terry Gilliam’s visionary dystopian sci-fi “Brazil.” It ends on such a brilliantly downbeat note, but Universal was afraid it would bum everyone out too much and ordered a new happy conclusion, resulting in the infamous “love conquers all” cut....
