Former President Donald Trump is ramping up his attacks on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the complex presidential campaign heats up.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote Kennedy is “far more Liberal than anyone running as a Democrat, including West and Stein,” referencing other third-party candidates Cornel West and Jill Stein.
Without any evidence, Trump claimed that Kennedy was pushed out of the Democratic Party “because he was taking primary votes away” from President Joe Biden.
“Rfk Jr. is a Democrat’ Plant,’ a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, get Re-Elected,” Trump wrote. “A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a Wasted Protest Vote that could swing either way but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him. Junior’ is totally Anti-Gun, an Extreme Environmentalist...

Children of the '90s were a different breed, thriving on all that was scary and traumatizing, from late-night series like Tales from the Crypt to horror books like Goosebumps.
What we survived back then, we now relinquish to new generations thirty years later. Some may say we're twisted parents because we pass our torment on to our children.
But trauma builds character, and Lawd knows today's kids need plenty of that. A small dose of fear and caution never hurt anyone. They can be useful life skills that can keep you out of trouble.
Or survive a horror flick like Goosebumps, which has moved into its second season as a series.
Goosebumps Season 1 aired in 2023, and now, we R. L. Stine fans get to enjoy Season 2, too.
If you enjoy classic horror tales told from a softer, less traumatic point of view, the young adult horror books-turned-tv series Goosebumps...

A common theme at CinemaCon over the years has been the need for distributors and exhibitors to collaborate more closely and the notion rose to the fore in a CinemaCon session dedicated to mid-budget films on Monday.
Focus Features president of distribution Lisa Bunnell and her counterpart at Neon, Elissa Federoff, argued that films like The Holdovers, Anatomy Of A Fall, and Immaculate need room to breathe and open on a smaller footprint and build word of mouth before expanding wider when a broader audience is ready to watch them.
“We need to be patient with these movies and understand...

Blondie lead vocalist Debbie Harry opened up about her film career at International Film Festival Rotterdam.
“I am not really fluent in the film industry, but I have been fortunate to get scripts from the directors I admire and trust, and who scare me a little. It’s a small selection of interesting films that are a bit odd. I guess my oddness fits into that.”
Nothing was odder than David Cronenberg’s “Videodrome.”
“We didn’t know what ‘virtual’ was. We had no term [for it] back then. We didn’t know what my character was, but we knew who she was and what she was doing to others. I think Jimmy Woods had more of a problem with it than me. Let’s face it: Cronenberg is out there and always has been,” she said.
“There was no ending to the film and some people were getting pretty uptight about it.

“Lovecraftian Horror” has been on an upswing in recent years and with that upswing comes many a conversation on what exactly constitutes a horror tale being classified as truly “Lovecraftian.”
I don’t have anything unique or insightful to add to that discourse, but I feel like I know a Lovecraftian tale when I see it – and the fourth and final film in Amando de Ossorio’s The Blind Dead series, Night of the Seagulls, fits the mold.
The Blind Dead films sit comfortably in the cult favorite category. Not quite zombies, but definitely undead, the blind and ghoulish Knights Templar make for legitimately unnerving villains. They were brutal and monstrous in life, and carry that with them in death as they quest to consume the blood of their victims. Like I said, not quite zombies, but more like vampiric mummy-ghouls.

In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump expressed his disappointment that Americans for Prosperity Action (Afp Action), a conservative political advocacy group, had chosen to support former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley over him.
Afp Action, which was founded by billionaire brothers Charles Koch and the late David Koch, released a statement on Tuesday that asserted that Haley, former governor of South Carolina, was the most capable candidate to challenge Trump in the primaries. They commended her leadership qualities and said she had “what it takes to lead a policy agenda to take on our nation’s biggest challenges.”
On Wednesday, Trump wrote, “The Globalist Koch Fake ‘Network,’ Americans for China Prosperity, who constantly admit that they did better in Business under President Trump than Ever Before, have decided to back Nikki ‘Birdbrain’ Haley over Ron DeSanctimonious, a minor hit for Ron.”
He added,...

Exclusive: In the wake of a sexual assault complaint filed against him, actor Sebastian Chacon has been dropped by his reps at Paradigm, and by the indie feature Red Dirt, Deadline can reveal.
Best known for his role as drummer Warren Rojas on the hit Amazon series Daisy Jones & The Six, Chacon remains represented, at present, by attorney Jeff Chabrowe and publicist Siri Garber of Platform PR. While Chacon had also recently been with Robert Stein Management, it’s unclear whether he will carry that working relationship forward, as Stein couldn’t be reached for comment. Deadline will update this post with a statement from him if and when it becomes available.
In a statement on their separation from Chacon, the Red Dirt team clarified that “production never formally engaged his services,” even if the actor had “expressed interest in being attached to the project.” We were first to...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the Arrow-verse crossover, “Crisis on Earth X”.
The CW has made crossovers between its DC based shows a regular tradition, as they should appear at least once per season. Starting from the second season of Arrow, when Barry first appeared as a nerdy forensic expert. Now this year’s epic crossover “Crisis On Earth X” is much larger and more ambitious, especially when compared to last years’ “Invasion”. That’s not to say “Invasion” wasn’t enjoyable but the episode of Supergirl wasn’t even really a part of the story. So instead of just focusing on this weeks episode of The Flash, I am going to give you the highlights (and low points) of this years
Here are the Top 5 Hits and Duds from this Gigantic four-part event:

5. Sara and Alex’s Chemistry:
As the trailer suggested, the Chemistry between Sara and Alex is a treat to watch.
