Vertigo, John Wick, and Plastic Bags?

A slow news weekend, but we pulled some highlights. We’ve got a blasphemous remake of Vertigo in the works with Robert Downey Jr. maybe set to star. Shazam loses yet again to the newly released John Wick 4. Finally, those recycled plastic bags you use in stores might not be recycled. There’s not really a good way to tell.

Tarantino Critic Flick, MetaHumans, and Swatting?

Swatting is an awful thing and while it’s nice to hear that there’s some closure for the first bit of news today, it’s still a somber revelation that the worst in gaming improves slowly, if at all. I also snuck in a link to A.O. Scott’s farewell to film criticism amidst a small opinion piece discussing recent Tarantino news. The Metahumans thing is pretty cool.

Some Good Burger, Some Bad News, and Shazam?

Hope your weekend went well. We’ve got kind of a strange and sad assortment of news today, so I’m not going to be my usual sarcastic self. We’ve got a Good Burger sequel announcement, Lance Reddick dies at 60, Jirard buys up a bunch of Nintendo games before they’re delisted, and Shazam has quite underwhelming weekend.

Ash Kicking, Pricey Magic, and True Lies?

We’ve finally made it to the end of the week and can breathe a sigh of relief as all our troubles fade into nothingness. Or that’s the hope at least. Anyway, here’s some strange news from yesterday to guide you less-than-gently into the sweet embrace of Saturday.
