Not even DJ Paul Oakenfold could gather more than 100 people at the Storm Area 51 event. It seems that the alien enthusiasts stayed home to see what was going to happen as opposed to experiencing the event for themselves. While local Nevada law enforcement was expecting thousands of people, only about 150 showed up in total. As for the Oakenfold gig, it wasn't even anywhere near the original event. Instead, it was held just outside of Las Vegas, which should have seen a larger crowd. The Storm Area 51 event's offshoot music festival was held at the Alien Research Center, which is a souvenir shop 100 miles out of Las Vegas. Before the festivities started, they screened Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. Lazar pleaded with real alien hunters to stay home when the event was announced over the summer and it looks like nearly everybody listened, even the people who are unaware of his work. Paul Oakenfold had this to say about joining the event. As it turns out, the only unique thing … [Read more...] about Even DJ Paul Oakenfold’s Storm Area 51 Dance Party Was a Bust

Production is officially under way for Marvel Studios' Eternals. Angelina Jolie has been spotted on the set in England as Thena. Kevin Feige formally announced the upcoming addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4 during this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Jolie, along with the rest of the cast had all been rumored to be in the movie for months, but it wasn't confirmed until Feige brought everybody out on stage to introduce them as Eternals. The movie will see the studio deviating from their usual branch of heroes. In the several leaked shots from the Eternals set, we can see Angelina Jolie in a blonde wig as Thena. Her character appears to be placing someone's ashes in a lake. However, it is not clear whose ashes they are and where in the universe this lake is supposed to be.

As is the case with most leaked set photos, there is no context to figure out exactly … [Read more...] about First Eternals Set Photos Reveal Angelina Jolie as Thena

Once again, John Mulaney's Spider-Ham is here to delight. The stand-out character from Sony's Oscar-winning movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is back in an animated short that reveals what the super pig had been up to before he was pulled into a portal to meet Miles Morales and his assortment of spider-people. Spoiler alert: he was eating a hotdog. Although you can catch it in the blu-ray special features of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, it's now been released on the Marvel HQ Youtube channel as well.

The hills are alive with the sound of Rob Zombie? The Sound of Music is an iconic musical and Ed Asner thinks Zombie should be the one to remake it. The former president of the Screen Actors Guild made his bold opinion on social media and heavy metal fans are having a good time imagining exactly what that would look and sound like. Zombie is no stranger to making movies, but they have all been in the horror/thriller vein. Ed Asner took a minute out of his day to respond to the Twitter challenge entitled, "A movie you'd like to see Rob Zombie remake, no matter how insane." Asner says, "I had to look up who Rob Zombie was. But now that I know I will say The Sound of Music." From there, Zombie fans from all over the world praised Asner's choice and now people really want to see this happen, which means that someone will more than likely go and set up a petition to get the ball running, because we all know how well those work. Rob Zombie came to prominence in the early 1990s with his band … [Read more...] about Rob Zombie’s Sound of Music? Ed Asner Thinks It’s a Great Idea

Jennifer Lopez's stripper hit Hustlers won't be seen in Malaysia. The movie was expected to open this past Thursday, but the country's censorship board said the movie was "not suitable for public viewing" and has banned it. This is a common practice in Malaysia, which also banned 2015's 50 Shades of Gray, 2019's Rocketman, and even 2017's Beauty and the Beast live-action remake. Hustlers has been a hit in North America and this will certainly be a small blow to its international box office earnings. The Malaysian censorship board did not like the fact that Hustlers features nude breasts, erotic dancing, and drug use. The movie, which also stars Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart, Keke Palmer, Julia Stiles, Cardi B, and Lizzo is based on real-life events. With that being said, it will not be shown in Malaysian theaters. Distributor Square Box Pictures had this to say about the ban. Hustlers tells the true story of a group of strippers who found a way to beat the 2008 financial crisis by … [Read more...] about Jennifer Lopez’s Stripper Hit Hustlers Gets Banned in Malaysia
