Flcl Why We Can T Wait For Grunge And Shoegaze

FLCL (or Fooly Cooly) is one of the great hidden gems of anime. And it stays hidden, sometimes for 15 years! When FLCL first premiered in the United States in 2003, the fan following was much more explosive than when released in Japan three years earlier. Though it was respected in Japan, in the US, it became a sort of Firefly-esque cult phenomenon: one season, limited run, dearly loved but overlooked....

Game Of Thrones Star Debunks Multiple Finale Endings

A few weeks ago, HBO programming president Casey Bloys revealed during an interview that the Game of Thrones producers plan on shooting multiple endings for the Game of Thrones finale}, so even the cast and crew won’t know the true ending, cutting down on the risk of key spoilers leaking before the final season airs in either late 2018 or possibly 2019. We haven’t heard much else about the possibility of multiple endings, but despite the news coming from a rather reliable source, an important executive at HBO, it seems Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister on the hit fantasy series, doesn’t think that’s true at all....

Dark City Why This Underrated 90S Sci Fi Masterpiece Deserves A Reboot

Dark City is a sci-fi noir movie directed by Alex Proyas (I Robot, The Crow) and released in 1998. Though it received many positive reviews at the time, it was a complete failure financially, with Proyas himself calling it a “box office disaster.” But in the 24 years since its release, Dark City has become an underground ’90s cult classic, and is the perfect movie for a modern remake. Dark City escaped the lasting attention of most people when it was released, sandwiched as it was between the juggernaut of Titanic and The Matrix a year later....

Exclusive Lars Eidinger Discusses Irma Vep And The Nature Of Provocation

Lars Eidinger is a different breed of actor. Incredibly thoughtful and philosophical, bracingly confrontational, and physically intimidating, Eidinger is a difficult person to pin down, largely because his performative presence changes with such fluidity (from legendary Shakespeare performances to perfect and odd indie movies like Everyone Else, and mainstream dramas like the upcoming All the Light We Cannot See). The media often likes to present Eidinger as a kind of enfant terrible, a mischievous actor probing the very limits of acceptability and dissecting static definitions of acting....
