Happy May the 4th to everyone, of course, but to three people in particular. First, Taika Waititi and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, two dynamite filmmakers who now get to make a Star Wars movie. May neither of you get fired for being too interesting. Second, to Babu Frik, the wonderful baked potato droidsmith from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker who deserves nothing but the best not only on this day, but all days. An icon. A legend. And now, thanks to a Vanity Fair interview with the voice behind the puppet, Shirley Henderson, a truly tragic figure. Henderson broke down …

Lauded author Shirley Jackson was a mad genius. Her macabre stories like “The Lottery” and The Haunting of Hill House captured the imaginations of people the world over, but Jackson herself was considered an odd duck. Rumors swirled that she never left her house, and she was beset by illnesses that finally claimed her life at the far-too-young age of 48. But until the end, Jackson was crafting crackling stories that not only pushed the boundaries of horror fiction, but of what was considered “proper” for a woman in her day and age. Given the madness within Jackson’…

There are very few people in the world that can say they have worked with great artists like Billy Wilder, Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis, Bob Fosse, and many others. But for Shirley MacLaine, who has had a successful career spanning over six decades, these are just some of the names she called friends over her lifetime.

Polly (MacLaine) has been Noelle’s nanny her whole …

Airplane! still stands as one of the funniest movies ever made. It is a parody of the airplane disaster movies which were popular for a time. The film follows a flight which is put in danger when a severe bout of food poisoning incapacitates the pilots and many passengers, and the desperate efforts to land it safely. Of course, the movie doesn't take that premise seriously at all, only using it for an excuse to deliver some wild humor.
