Kevin Can F K Himself Shows Why The Laugh Track Needs To Die

So it’s quite fitting that Kevin Can FK Himself makes a compelling case for why laugh tracks (or canned laughter) need to die a quick death. The series centers on Allison McRoberts (Annie Murphy), a woman trapped in a marriage to the titular Kevin. Kevin is an infuriating man-child. He throws keg parties on his wedding anniversary, spends obscene amounts of money on sports memorabilia, and treats Allison like an accessory....

Last Tango In Halifax Series 5 Episode 1 Review Warm Hearted Pin Sharp Drama

In the sham rivalry that persists between devotees of Jane Austen (comedy, marriage, assembly room balls and card games) and the Bronte sisters (tragedy, passion, storm-swept moors and ghosts), you’d peg dramatist Sally Wainwright for the Bronte camp. A Yorkshirewoman who wrote and directed a luminous biopic about the sisters in 2016, she’d be #TeamHaworth all day long. Yet Last Tango In Halifax, Wainwright’s BBC One comedy-drama now returning after a four-year break, shows her to be nothing less than a modern-day Jane Austen....

Liam Neeson On Big Rigs Driving The Ice Road And Star Wars

The Ice Road is Neeson’s latest film, arriving this week on Netflix, and it continues his career’s somewhat improbable second act as an action hero. Neeson stars here as Mike McCann, a trucker who is one of several drivers recruited to transport three large, heavy drills to a remote northern Canada mine in order to free miners trapped in a collapse. To get there on time, McCann and the others must drive their 18-wheelers over the region’s treacherous ice roads — highways literally made of ice that has frozen over the surface of vast lakes, with anything from a particularly strong sun to a slightly sharp turn likely to make the ice crack and plunge the big rigs into the deadly cold water beneath....

Line Of Duty Series 6 Episode 7 H The Fourth Man The End Of Ac 12 All Our Questions Theories

Perhaps thanks to the extra half hour of screen time (with seven one-hour episodes instead of five plus a 90-minute finale), or perhaps because there was a genuine sense of threads being tied up as AC-12 went into storage for potentially the last time, there are fewer questions left to answer than usual after Line of Duty series six. The finale gave us lots of certainty, and just a few things still to mull over....

Marvel Fans Confused And Intrigued As Moon Knight Trailer Reveals Arthur Harrow

In the first official trailer for Moon Knight, Steven (Oscar Isaac) is not the millionaire playboy of the comics, but a humble and bafflingly British gift shop employee who has a “sleeping disorder” and might get up to some unwelcome night time activities unless he ties himself to his bed in an effort to stay put. Working at a popular London museum, Steven seems haunted by the Egyptian exhibits, and later finds out that he has at least one other identity: Marc Spector, a brutal mercenary who likely shares little in common with the timid Steven....

So, when Firaxis confirmed that Marvel’s Midnight Suns is actually a card-based strategy game, many of those same fans seemed to be pretty upset. Some simply wanted an XCOM game with Marvel characters and didn’t understand why the game would deviate from that idea. Others heard the word “cards” and immediately thought of microtransaction-filled CCG games. While Firaxis has made it clear that Midnight Suns is absolutely not that kind of game, the buzz around their project has cooled down considerably since the first details of its gameplay were confirmed....
