Neil Calloway looks at the lack of diversity among directing talent in Hollywood, and what is being done about it in Britain… You probably spent most of the week laughing hysterically at the idea of a crowdfunded remake of The Last Jedi – go for it guys, I’ll be waiting – you may have missed […]
If You’re Emotionally Invested in Remaking Star Wars: The Last Jedi You Need to Re-Evaluate Your Life
Samuel Brace on the fan campaign to remake Star Wars: The Last Jedi… If a movie franchise performs a heliocentric role in your life, then I’m afraid to say that you’re doing things very wrong. There’s a fan campaign to fund a remake of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and if you’re nodding your head […]
Is it just me, or has the theater became the worst place to watch movies?
Harrison Abbott on the moviegoing experience… A quick disclaimer: It took numerous rewrites for me to get this article into a state where it no longer resembled a deranged manifesto. At one point it was just the phrase ”Tear it all down” repeated for roughly 6 pages, along with a few obligatory references to”the phonies”. Despite […]
Why the Star Wars: The Last Jedi remake should be taken (somewhat) seriously
Anghus Houvouras on the fan campaign to fund a remake of Star Wars: The Last Jedi… Not the actual movie, mind you.

The Problem with Hereditary’s Marketing
Helen Murdoch on the problem with Hereditary’s marketing… All of the recent 5 star reviews of Ari Aster’s horror Hereditary have got me thinking about what we expect going into a film versus what we actually see. Hereditary depicts the most horrific displays of grief that I’ve ever seen committed to screen, but based on […]
His Sequel Trilogy Ideas Were George Lucas’ Worst Idea
Neil Calloway is glad we never got the Star Wars sequels George Lucas wanted… Han smuggling monsters in The Force Awakens, the over egged Iraq War overtones of Rogue One, the jokes in The Last Jedi, that shower scene in Solo. What’s your least favourite part of the new Star Wars films? It doesn’t matter. […]
The 4 Most Repulsive TV Protagonists Ever
Samuel Brace on the four most repulsive TV protagonists ever… TV anti-heroes are fairly common in the present age.
