New Deadpool 2 Poster Mocks Fox for Logan
BEGIN SLIDESHOWNew Deadpool 2 poster mocks Fox for LoganWe’re less than two weeks away from the long-awaited release of Deadpool 2, but the marketing department for the film isn’t slowing down one bit, even if it means poking fun at their own studio, 20th Century Fox. In the latest poster, we see all of the new and returning character in comic-book stylized glory, posed in front of what looks like a portal with a raging inferno around it. While it is the perfect poster for an action movie, it of course wouldn’t be a Merc with a Mouth poster without some bizarrely pointed humor, and this one highlights both Deadpool’s love for his swan pool float as well as the most genius tagline the sequel has given us yet:“From The Studio That Killed Wolverine”There were certainly a few references to the former Hugh Jackman character in the first Deadpool and it’s all the more fitting to work the beloved X-Men character into the film … [Read more...] about New Deadpool 2 Poster Mocks Fox for Logan
Fox & Friends Backs CIA Director Nominee: She Should Be ‘Proud’ of ‘Enhanced Interrogation’ at Black Sites
Fox & Friends went to bat on Monday for Gina Haspel — President Donald Trump’s nominee for CIA Director who is set to face a challenging Senate confirmation hearing this week — defending the career agent against concerns over her ties to torture. Haspel’s nomination has been a controversial one, given her job overseeing a “black site” in Thailand after the 9/11 attacks where terror suspects were tortured using techniques like waterboarding and sleep deprivation. Now serving as deputy director of the FBI, a number of lawmakers have voiced concerns with her nomination, including Sen. John McCain, who called the U.S. torture program “one of the darkest chapters in American history.” On Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade brought up a recent report that Haspel sought to withdraw her nomination for CIA Director last week, fearing the process would damage her reputation. From there, the Fox & Friends hosts piled on the love. Kilmeade … [Read more...] about Fox & Friends Backs CIA Director Nominee: She Should Be ‘Proud’ of ‘Enhanced Interrogation’ at Black Sites
Fox Scorecard: Complete Guide to What’s New, Renewed and Canceled
The impending dog and pony show may include echoes of "business as usual," a spiel offered to press earlier in the year, but the fact remains that no one really knows what is going to happen to Fox. The 2018-19 season, if all goes according to plan, will see the completion of Disney's acquisition of the network's sister properties (read: the prolific TV studio, long its programming pipeline). A leadership change is almost guaranteed — and a new game plan with it. So the question of "Will Star get renewed?" seems kind of trivial in comparison. One thing is certain. Fox has way fewer hours to fill next year. Its pact with the NFL for Thursday Night Football will suck up more than 30 hours of space previously occupied by original programming, lessening the recent pressure to find a reality hit to fill the void left by American Idol in 2016. And while Thursday's game is the NFL's least-enticing offer, it will still do a lot to lift the network's modest linear … [Read more...] about Fox Scorecard: Complete Guide to What’s New, Renewed and Canceled
Tale of the Sea Fox is real-life “Poseidon Adventure”
There is nothing like a good sea story, especially about shipwrecks. Recently, while looking through old newspapers, The American Beacon and Norfolk & Portsmouth Daily Advertiser, from the date of Nov. 8, 1821, I found an extraordinary article about a ship called the Sea Fox.The Sea Fox was capsized by a large squall in the Caribbean, leaving four of its crew inside a hull compartment for three days. Upon reading this true sea story, it reminded me so much of the 1972 disaster movie, “The Poseidon Adventure,” I just had to share.But first a little background.The movie was based on Paul Gallico’s 1969 eponymous novel. The plot centers on the fictional SS Posei-don, an aged luxury liner on her final voyage from New York City to Athens before being sent to the scrapyard. On New Year’s Eve, she is overturned by a tsunami. Passengers and crew are trapped inside, and a rebellious preacher attempts to lead a small group of survivors to the possible safety of … [Read more...] about Tale of the Sea Fox is real-life “Poseidon Adventure”
