Keanu Reeves Reveals He Was Disappointed By ‘Return Of The Jedi’
Say it ain't so, Keanu! Actor Keanu Reeves (Bill & Ted Excellent Adventures, John Wick, The Matrix trilogy) revealed during an interview with The Guardian that he felt "let down" by Return of the Jedi when he first saw the final installment of the original Star Wars trilogy at age 19. The film continued the storyline established in A New Hope and carried through in The Empire Strikes Back, which many fans consider one of the best Star Wars movies in the franchise. Return of the Jedi attempted to tie up many of the loose ends in The Empire Strikes Back, which included Han Solo being frozen in carbonite, then taken captive by bounty hunter Boba Fett, the revelation that Darth Vader is Luke’s father, Luke dealing with losing his right hand and lightsaber in a duel with Vader, and the Rebels narrowly escaping the Empire in the end.

Content Warning: Homophobia, Harassment, Assault I shouldn't have to point out that this has been a rough year for the video game community, especially for its marginalized members. In light of countless allegations and lawsuits leveled at major game companies including Rockstar Games, Riot Games, Naughty Dog, CD Projekt Red, and most notably Activision and Ubisoft, we've been seeing many calls to action from gaming fans and media alike for the game industry to address and fix its toxic, bigoted work culture that has sadly been a large part of it for decades. Among the companies called out for their systemic mistreatment of employees is Quantic Dream, the developer of titles such as Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. The company has especially been in the limelight as of late due to the announcement of Star Wars: Eclipse.

Official Trailer For ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Drops
By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth! The trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is here, and it is glorious. As someone who is a massive fan of the first Doctor Strange film and the character in general, I am beyond excited for this film. The first Doctor Strange was an underappreciated gem of the MCU that cemented magic as a vital part of the MCU going forward. Now, it looks like the sequel will cement the multiverse as a major part of the MCU going forward. This will also allegedly be Marvel’s first trip into the horror genre, which opens all new possibilities for the film. This also seems to be what Phase 4 of the MCU has been building to. WARNING, there may be some spoilers ahead.
