So The Winning Nominee Isn't Always The Best

 The 94th Academy Awards will determine which Oscar-nominated movies win Best Picture, but how do the nominees rank in Rotten Tomatoes? Ten total movies were nominated for Best Picture, including Belfast, Coda, Don't Look up, Drive My Car, Dune, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, Nightmare Alley, The Power of the Dog, and West Side Story. The Oscars are voted on by Academy members, so the winning nominee isn't always the best-reviewed, but as the year's best movies, they're generally still among the year's best-reviewed movies. While most nominees generally have high Rotten Tomatoes scores, there's also plenty of movies with high Rotten Tomatoes scores that don't get nominated, especially if they're more commercial mainstream blockbusters, although some of those still get nominated, including a couple this year. Outside of the most prominent Tomatometer score, the review data in Rotten Tomatoes provides more details to compare to find trends between the 2021 ...

The Deleted Scene Offers The First Look

 Barry Keoghan's terrifying new Joker has finally been fully revealed by The Batman's deleted scene, but it's prompted one over-riding question: did Joker cut his own face off? That suggestion comes courtesy of The Batman's deleted Arkham scene, showing Robert Pattinson's Dark Knight interrogating Keoghan's villain about the Riddler's plan. Unlike the Arkham coda at the end of The Batman that initially revealed the character's existence, the deleted scene offers the first look at Barry Keoghan's Joker, scars and all. While Paul Dano's Riddler was the focal point of The Batman as the primary villain, Matt Reeves' reboot perfectly set the stage for a Gotham City already populated by multiple Batman Rogues Gallery characters. On top of Colin Farrell's Penguin, John Turturro's Carmine Falcone, the Riddler, and the proto-Joker, The Batman hid hints to Hush, Red Hood, and even Bane. Regardless of that depth, without a new Joker, Pattinson...

. Recent Rumors Have Suggested That Conner's Genetic

 Joshua Orpin, who plays Conner AKA Superboy on DC's Titans has taken to Instagram to shut down some season 4 casting rumors. While his character was first teased in the Titans season 1 finale, Australian actor Orpin did not join the show's ensemble cast until season 2. A genetically engineered clone created by Cadmus Labs from the DNA of both Superman and Lex Luthor, Conner possesses both the abilities and personality traits of both men. Last year Titans made the move from the now-defunct DC Universe streaming platform across to Warner Bros. own HBO Max platform. The characters themselves also saw a change of home, swapping San Francisco for the dangerous streets of a Batman-less Gotham City following the death of Jason Todd at the hands of the Joker. Following the popular Red Hood comic storyline, however, the Titans would soon discover that Jason was resurrected by Scarecrow's Jonathon Crane and had fallen under his influence. With season 3 ultimately seeing Crane recapt...

Prompting Negative Reactions From Fans

 After almost 10 years, Peaky Blinders season 6 has proved the show's biggest problem and its hardest challenge. The show had fairly humble beginnings following the Birmingham-based Shelby clan, headed by Cillian Murphy's Tommy, in their criminal exploits directly after the events of the First World War. But Peaky Blinders built an incredibly enthusiastic audience on the back of its compelling criminal organizations, wars with rival gangs, and flashes of hyper-violence. In stark contrast, Peaky Blinders season 6 is surprisingly slow and decidedly restrained, prompting negative reactions from fans. Tommy's Peaky Blinders season 6 story is notably slower and more contemplative than the seasons which have come before it, and so far is distinctly marked by a lack of severe brutality. Contrastingly, the season is more introspective and allows for a deeper look into Tommy's grief-stricken and war-torn psyche. Tommy Shelby, too, is overall a gentler character than he used to b...

Blum Recently Stated He Is Working

 Jason Blum has expressed interest in releasing 10 future Halloween films, which means Michael Myers may be slashing his way into theaters for many years to come. After nearly a decade away from the big screen, Blum's production company Blumhouse brought the knife-wielding killer back with a purpose, as last year's film was well received by fans and critics alike, and became the highest grossing slasher since Wes Craven's Scream. Reports of a follow-up began before Halloween was released, and while nothing has been made official, Blum recently stated he is working to get a sequel greenlit. However, it seems Michael could be sticking around for more than just a follow-up to last year's movie. The Halloween franchise has been taken in several different directions since the original film released in 1978, which has led to multiple timelines existing in the series. In the latest entry, director and co-writer David Gordon Green decided to create yet another timeline by ignor...

Running Four Hours And Separated Into Six Chapters

 Zack Snyder's Justice League recently released on HBO Max at twice the length of the theatrical cut. Running four hours and separated into six chapters and an epilogue, the Snyder Cut is a far cry from the poorly-received original film taken over by Avengers and Buffy the Vampire Slayer helmer Joss Whedon. However, die-hard fans may be surprised at the assumed Whedon flourishes that were Snyder all along. The Snyder Cut is an anomaly in popular culture, a fan-led effort to restore a Frankenstein's Monster of a film back to the vision of its original director that came about due to Warner Bros. being in the difficult position of having a theatrical release calendar wrecked by coronavirus and a desperate need for original content for the upcoming HBO Max launch. Snyder shot 100% of principal photography, but after the tragic death of his daughter Autumn, he had to step away in May 2017 from the film's troubled post-production process. At the time, Warner Bros. thought Snyder...

In Her First Interaction With Joe At Moony's

 Netflix's You checked many boxes: it was unique, scary in the right measure, had an edgy lead, and was occasionally even funny. What fans may not have noticed on their binge-watch of the addictive show is that it's also chock full of hidden details, easter eggs, and references that foreshadow the later events of the show, sometimes even a season in advance. A slower, closer watch would reveal that right from the first interaction that Beck had with Joe in season 1, till the very last scenes of season 3 had meaningful little facts and minutiae stashed away or in plain sight, and knowing what they mean would add a whole new layer to the show. Anavrin Was Referenced By Beck Several Times As the romantic leading lady in season 1, Beck was the center of attention. In her first interaction with Joe at Moony's, she speaks about Paula Fox, an author who also happens to be Courtney Love's grandmother. Courtney Love was married to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, thus making it an ...
