This is *NOT* an Arnie re-run | The Running Man (2025) (REVIEW) | Projector
YouTube video by Film Brain

New Projector review! Edgar Wright returns to Stephen King's book for his remake of The Running Man, with Glen Powell being hunted - and cast the Arnie movie out of your mind because this is totally different. But does it have the usual Wright stuff? youtu.be/f7wHdi6qJZY

Wicked: For Good: The second half of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical has a darker, more emotional edge, and the expanded run time of the film gives the plot and dramatic turns more room to breathe - having never seen the play, no wonder it was so rushed! Erivo and Grande still terrific.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Well, that was an eventful interview with Jamie Lee Curtis on This Morning, calling Borderlands and Fierce Creatures awful, going emotional over Diana, and dropping an f-bomb on live TV when asked about I'm A Celebrity.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

"Death of the Author" doesn't mean separating the author's bad behaviour from their art. It means taking away their authority and allowing readers to interpret the art based on their own perspectives. It doesn't absolve the author of being a bastard, in fact it may inform how you interpret the art.
