Phantom of Excalibur: Proposing a New Kitty Pryde Uniform for Marvel Future Fight
Kitty Pryde's journey through the Marvel Universe has seen her embody various roles: a brilliant young mutant, an X-Men stalwart, a ninja warrior, a Guardian of the Galaxy, a pirate captain, an educator, and the proud leader of the Marauders. However, her visually striking and thematically rich "Shadowcat" persona from the Excalibur era, which combines mutant abilities with martial arts mastery, is notably underrepresented in Marvel Future Fight.

Jan-Michael Vincent in 1980: Stardom, Struggles, and the Long Shadow of The Return
In 1980, Jan-Michael Vincent was still one of Hollywood’s most recognizable leading men. Blond, handsome, and blue-collar charming, he’d come through the 1970s with a string of notable credits — The Mechanic opposite Charles Bronson, Big Wednesday with Gary Busey, and even Disney’s World’s Greatest Athlete. He looked like the guy who could carry a studio’s mid-budget drama or a high-octane thriller. But 1980 would prove to be a crossroads.

The Lost Ending of First Family (1980) — Hollywood’s Quiet Rewrite
A Political Satire That Never Landed In 1980, Buck Henry — the sly wit behind The Graduate and co-creator of Get Smart — stepped behind the camera to direct First Family. On paper, it looked like a surefire hit: Bob Newhart as a hapless President, Madeline Kahn as his First Lady, Gilda Radner, Harvey Korman, Fred Willard, and Richard Benjamin filling out the ensemble. It was an SNL-era comedy dream team dropped into a White House farce.

Altered States (1980): When Paddy Chayefsky and Ken Russell Went to War
The Battle of Egos: Chayefsky vs. Russell On paper, Altered States looked like a prestige project: a screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky, the Pulitzer-winning writer behind Network and Marty, adapting his own novel about psychedelic science and cosmic regression. In practice, it was like locking a scientist in a room with a carnival barker and asking them to build a spaceship together.

Sinners
As always I am behind on my movie watching but one of my most anticipated titles this year was Sinners. Not only did I hear nothing but wonderful things about it upon its release but it stars Michael B Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld, both of whom I love. I think Ryan Coogler is an incredible director so this was one that I was happy to check off the list.

Jimmy Kimmel Salary, Net Worth, and ABC Suspension Explained. AI-Generated.
Jimmy Kimmel Salary, Net Worth, and ABC Suspension Explained Jimmy Kimmel has been a household name in late-night television since Jimmy Kimmel Live! premiered on ABC in 2003. For over 20 years, his witty monologues and celebrity interviews have kept viewers entertained. But in 2025, the host found himself at the center of controversy after making comments about the tragic death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The backlash led ABC to suspend the show indefinitely, raising questions about Kimmel’s future — and his earnings. Why Did ABC Suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live!? During his September 15 opening monologue, Jimmy Kimmel criticized how some conservatives responded to Kirk’s death. He accused “many in MAGA land” of trying to use the tragedy for political gain and claimed they were attempting to frame the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, as anything but “one of their own.” The remarks quickly went viral and sparked anger from conservative groups. ABC confirmed the show would be “pre-empted indefinitely.” Nexstar, which owns several ABC affiliates across the country, also stopped airing Jimmy Kimmel Live!, stating that it “strongly objects” to Kimmel’s comments. Adding fuel to the fire, FCC chairman Brendan Carr praised Nexstar’s move, while former President Donald Trump celebrated the suspension on social media, calling it “Great for America.” Jimmy Kimmel’s Salary at ABC One of the biggest questions fans are asking is: how much does Jimmy Kimmel earn? According to multiple reports, Kimmel’s ABC salary is about $15 million per year for hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Some outlets suggest the figure may be closer to $16 million annually, factoring in bonuses and additional payments. This places Kimmel among the top earners in late-night television, alongside names like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon. His high paycheck reflects both his long career and the show’s importance to ABC’s lineup. Jimmy Kimmel’s Net Worth Over the years, Jimmy Kimmel has built an impressive fortune beyond his hosting salary. His income also comes from producing, acting, and other entertainment projects. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated at $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This wealth highlights his success as not just a host but also as a major figure in the entertainment industry. Even with his show suspended, Kimmel’s financial future remains secure. What’s Next for Jimmy Kimmel? The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has left viewers wondering about the show’s future. ABC has not announced whether or when the program will return. With Nexstar pulling episodes from its stations, the pause appears more serious than a short break. However, Kimmel’s long history in late-night television and his loyal fan base could work in his favor. If ABC decides to bring him back, he still has the influence and popularity to keep audiences tuning in. Key Takeaway Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC has created headlines across the country. While the controversy has put his show’s future at risk, his financial success is undeniable. With an annual salary of around $15 million and a net worth of $50 million, Kimmel remains one of the richest late-night hosts in America. Whether or not Jimmy Kimmel Live! returns, his impact on late-night TV — and his fortune — are here to stay.

Jack Palance, a Sword, and the Making of Hawk the Slayer (1980)
There are movies that live or die by spectacle; then there are movies whose legends outlive their budgets. Hawk the Slayer sits squarely in the latter camp. The British sword-and-sorcery film (1980), directed by Terry Marcel, is a beloved oddity: rough around the edges, gorgeously theatrical in places, and defended fiercely by a small but devoted cult. Its most enduring backstage image — the one that makes for a perfect lede — concerns Jack Palance. Fan lore holds that Palance was punctured by a sword during a filmed duel and finished the take regardless. It’s the sort of anecdote you hope is true: dramatic, a little brutal, and utterly in character for Palance’s on-screen menace.

"Weapons" Review: Finding the Horror in Suburbia
Weapons begins with a horrifying premise: an entire class of elementary school kids, save one, run away from home in the middle of the night. What follows is an unsettling psycho-supernatural thriller, told in pieces from each character’s perspective, as a small community finds themselves caught between solving the mystery and facing their demons.

Three Movies, One Year: Chevy Chase’s Strange 1980
Chevy Chase at the Crossroads The year 1980 was a strange one for Chevy Chase. Still fresh from his rocket rise on Saturday Night Live and his first starring vehicle Foul Play (1978), Chase entered the new decade with a mix of superstardom and uncertainty. He had the charisma, the deadpan timing, and the bankability, but his choices that year reveal an actor pulled in three directions at once: the cool improviser in Caddyshack, the screwball romantic lead in Seems Like Old Times, and the confused reincarnated detective in Oh! Heavenly Dog.
