With every new trailer or image of the new Hellboy: The Crooked Man, fans seem to miss actor Ron Pearlman in Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy even more. The latest image of Jack Kesy’s iteration of the Dark Horse comics character seems to have irked fans again.
The upcoming film is based on creator Mike Mignola’s limited series of the same name and the comic-book writer has reportedly co-written the screenplay. This is the second reboot of the franchise in the last five years as David Harbour played the previous iteration of the antihero in the panned 2019 film Hellboy.

George Lucas was against the idea of Wookie Jedi, and he even set a rule for it. Of course, there are a handful of Wookie Jedi characters, but they existed before the franchise creator prohibited the use of them. Years later, fans are watching The Acolyte, and there’s Kelnacca, a Wookie Jedi.

Why did Lucas change his mind? Why was he against it in the first place? These are some questions fans might have been asking about the strange law against Wookie Jedi.
George Lucas Was Not A Fan Of The Wookie Jedi Concept
In an entry from Star Wars Insider #79 on StarWars.com via Wookiepedia, creator George Lucas “once decreed that there can be no more Wookie Jedi in the Expanded Universe.” In a DVD commentary for the Return of the Jedi, he revealed not being able to “reconcile the primitive, Stone Age...

Mark Russell, the political satirist who delivered his wisecracks to the tunes of his piano on PBS specials for nearly 30 years, died today of prostate cancer at his home in Washington, D.C. He was 90.
His death was announced to the Washington Post by his wife Alison Russell.
Russell, sporting a bow tie and standing behind a usually flag-draped piano, was a staple of PBS from 1975 to 2004, where his bipartisan jabs and jaunty playing melded with the gently intellectual tone of the network. With a persona and style closer to Will Rogers than Lenny Bruce, Russell was an affable TV presence whose topical observations offered a family-friendly alternative during an era when George Carlin was saying seven dirty words and Saturday Night Live was making pot jokes.
Still, his amenable demeanor could serve as Trojan Horse for his most pointed and ego-deflating quips. After the exposure of President Bill Clinton’s sexual peccadillos,...

Following their collaboration on Apache Delivery Service, the creative trio of Matt Kindt, Tyler Jenkins, and Hilary Jenkins are reteaming for the horror comic book miniseries Hairball, centered on an increasingly dysfunctional family and the cat that may (or may not) be the source of their destruction.
Ahead of the first issue's release this April through Kindt's Flux House imprint at Dark Horse Comics, we've been provided with an exclusive reveal of the cover art for the fourth issue, as well as a look at the fur-lined cover for the upcoming trade paperback release of Hairball!
Here's what Matt Kindt had to say about Hairball and its uniquely unsettling trade paperback cover:
I want Hairball to be an uncomfortable book, but in an entertaining way.
This is a book about the slow disintegration of a family. It's also about a possibly supernatural cat that seems to be at the center of it all.

Anderson East reckons with a collective need for clarity in “Drugs,” the funky new release from his upcoming album Maybe We Never Die. The follow-up to 2018’s Encore, Maybe We Never Die will come out August 20th.
Veering away from the retro R&b sounds that have been a mainstay of his albums, East cooks up a bass-driven disco groove for “Drugs” that’s accented by theremin and perky flute runs. The Alabama native adopts a silky falsetto for most of the tune, pondering the eternal difficulty of facing reality.
