‘Hereditary’ Explainer: A Spoilery Guide to the Terrifying Twists and That Wild Ending
For those hoping to make sense of some of the particular (and particularly horrific) plot points, the seemingly cryptic imagery, and the film’s unforgettable ending, we’re here to help. It should go without saying, but there are major SPOILERS for Hereditary ahead. You’ve been warned.
The 25 Most Ridiculous Movie Promotional Photos of All Time

John Travolta Is Playing a Crazy Stalker in a Movie Directed by Fred Durst (Yes, That One)
Say what you will about John Travolta’s career, but you can’t deny that it’s been interesting. And the actor’s latest cinematic curiosity is no exception, though you may need a moment to really process every insane element in the following statement: Travolta is playing a psychotic stalker obsessed with an action movie hero played by Devon Sawa in a new thriller titled Moose, from director Fred Durst. Yes, that Fred Durst — as in the one who rap-rocked about “nookie” and boasted a seemingly endless supply of Adidas athleisurewear during Nu Metal’s reign of terror.
‘The Shape of Water’ Oscar Win Inspired a Lot of People to Buy That Fish Man Sex Toy
In The Shape of Water, Sally Hawkins plays a mute cleaning woman who falls in love with a magical fish man (Doug Jones) and promptly fulfills our pervy hopes and dreams by — spoilers, I guess? — consummating the relationship. Unfortunately for us pervs, we never get to see his, um, fish stick, and although Hawkins’ character cutely explains how his aquatic appendage works via a few hand signs, it leaves a lot to the imagination. Thanks to advances in technology and manufacturing, we don’t have to imagine what that dang ol’ dongle looks like because now there’s a sex toy.
‘Fear’ Remake Will Explore the Stalker Thriller From a Woman’s POV
On a list of “movies least likely to get remade” you’d probably find Fear, the 1996 thriller starring Reese Witherspoon as a wholesome teen who gives up her virginity to bad boy Mark Wahlberg, who turns out to be a violent stalker — thus justifying her overprotective father’s concerns. But this is 2018, where anything and everything will be made or remade into a movie, and since women’s issues are So Hot Right Now, we’re getting a remake of Fear told from the perspective of the Witherspoon character.
Chris Hemsworth Might Be Starring in That ‘Men in Black’ Reboot
A reboot of Men in Black doesn’t sound all that appealing — especially ever since we learned that the proposed 21 Jump Street / MiB crossover is no longer in the works. But when you bring Chris Hemsworth into the equation, suddenly a Men in Black reboot sounds pretty damn attractive. Handsome, even.
‘Heathers’ TV Reboot Premiere Delayed Out of Respect to Parkland Victims
The Paramount Network (formerly known as Spike TV) has officially announced its decision to delay the premiere of its Heathers reboot — based on the 1988 cult classic — in the wake of the recent horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida. In a formal statement, the network explained that the premiere will be pushed back from March 7 to later this fall “out of respect for the victims, their families and loved ones.”
Jennifer Lawrence Really Did Not Care for ‘Phantom Thread’
Can you really say you disliked a movie if you turned it off after only watching the first three minutes? According to Jennifer Lawrence — and my mom — you can.
‘Paddington’s Paul King in Talks to Direct New ‘Willy Wonka’ Movie
After working his magic on the really, really ridiculously charming Paddington movies (which, according to Film Twitter, could very well lead to world peace), director Paul King is ready to bring a bit of that charm to the world of Willy Wonka. King is in talks to tackle a new movie based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory — which, let’s be real, seemed like a really, really ridiculously uninspired idea…until Paul King came along.

New ‘Fantastic Beasts 2’ Photos Show Off Hot Dumbledore and That Other Guy
Infinity War isn’t the only major sequel hitting theaters next year. No, not Ant-Man and the Wasp — think outside the MCU, people! Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is arriving next fall, reuniting Eddie Redmayne’s Newt with Katherine Waterston’s Tina, and Dan Fogler’s Jacob Kowalski with Alison Sudol’s Queenie, and — hopefully — us with that cute little Niffler. More importantly, it’s introducing Jude Law’s Hot Dumbledore to the Harry Potter universe. (And, ugh, fine, that Grindelwald dude will be there, too.)
