What is your favorite Tom Hardy project? I'm defintinely going with 'Warrior' which I consider the greatest sports film ever made. Especially Hardy's performance with Nick Nolte, who played his abusive father in two mesmerizing scenes. The first in the casino, where Hardy told Nolte he would never forgive him, which caused him to relapse back into alcoholism before he saw their shared pain of serving in the Army, and comforted him in the hotel room. Great news for fans of Par

What is your favorite Ridley Scott film? Crazy news has come out from Hollywood insider Matt Belloni, as he claims Ridley Scott dropped Paul Mescal from 'The Dog Stars' because he blames Mescal for the failure of 'Gladiator II' for not being masculine enough like Russell Crowe, who led the first film. 'Gladiator II' made $462 million worldwide on a reported $300 million budget but was slammed by both critics and viewers. I think the big problem is that Scott's filming style h

What is your favorite racing film? Exciting news for fans of 'Days of Thunder" as Anne Hathaway was added to the cast of the upcoming sequel as a race car owner and engineer who will most likely be the new love interest for Tom Cruise's Cole Trickle. This, of course, means the chances of Nicole Kidman returning as Dr. Claire Lewicki are down to zero. Not a shocker for those who don't follow pop culture. Cruise and Kidman fell in love on the first one and were married for elev

What is your favorite Guy Ritchie project? Sad news for fans of 'Suits' and the royal family, as Meghan Markle won't be joining season 3 of 'The Gentlemen' after backlash in the UK was so strong against her casting that producers on the Guy Ritchie drama series were forced to take back their offer. Tina Brown, the former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief, released an article on Substack that talked about the reasons why: "The backlash was so intense, it became untenable to go forwa

What is your favorite romantic comedy film? Great news for fans of the 2003 romcom 'How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days' that starred Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, which helped set the dating culture back further than Tinder or Bumble has. A sequel is officially in development with both leads returning The original film starred Hudson as a magazine writer who bet her friends she could make a guy fall in love with her, then have him break up with her, while he played an advert

What is your favorite adventure film? Great, great news for fans of Nicolas Cage's 'National Treasure' franchise, as director Jon Turteltaub told a crowd at the Philadelphia Visitor Center that the third film is officially on the fast track with the full cast coming back. “I have not said anything before this, but you deserve to have the scoop. It’s finally real. Now, it’s Hollywood real, meaning things could happen. Nick gets hit by a bus, there’s no National Treasure 3. If

Who is your favorite cast member from 'Sons of Anarchy?' I'm going with Chucky, the biker gang's personal assistant who had his arms cut off cause he couldn't stop touching himself. He reminds me of Trump if he ever joined the Hells Angels. Great, great news for fans of the biker series 'Sons of Anarchy' as the full cast are returning for the meta series 'Legends' on the FX network that finds the cast reuniting a decade after the show ends with the official sypnosis: "When th

Is Taylor Sheridan the first AI writing program? What is your favorite Taylor Sheridan project? I'm going with 'Landman' and 'Sicario.' But there is so many to choose from. Sad news for fans of 'Yellowstone,' as the spinoff about Sheridan's real-life Four Sixes ranch in Texas is dead. Sheridan bought the ranch in 2020, and it is 266,000 acres big. Sheridan talked to the Radio Times podcast about the reasons why. "There's never going to be one. I would never fictionalize that

What is your biggest film fan theory? I have an insane fan theory about the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday,' and that is that Robert Downey Jr. isn't actually playing Doom but a Tony Stark/Iron Man variant? I have no evidence online to back this up, but that's the best part of watching movies is to be a fan. It is possible that he is playing both Doom and a variant, which would make more sense. It's rumored Downey Jr. is making $100 million for the film, and its sequel 'Avenger

Who is your favorite MMA fighter? I'm going old school and saying Tank Abbott. Then it was Tito Ortiz, and finally Nate Diaz. Now the sport has become so diluted by weekly events that while I still watch with friends the big events, they have lost the big stars in Brock Lesnar, Jon Jones, and recently Conor McGregor. Good news for fans of Jon Jones, the embittered UFC GOAT. Mark Wahlberg at the UFC 330 event teased a biopic film about his life with his co-star, Yahya Abdul-Ma

What is your favorite Disney animated film? In a strange film choice for Glen Powell, the actor is circling the lead role of Gaston in a live-action 'Beauty and the Beast' prequel. The role was previously played by Luke Evans in the 2017 film. Were you a fan? Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi) is penning the script's second draft, first done by Briony Redman and Kate Herron. No word on the director, but it will be a safe choice. This whole project seems a weird direction for Powell to

What is your favorite comic book scene? I have to go with 'X-Men's' Quicksilver's two slow-motion race scenes he had in 'Days of Future Past' and 'Apocalypse.' Can you name one better? Good news for comic book fans as Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige announced the cast for the new 'X-Men' film at the D23 convention. We have Adam Driver as the villain Mr. Sinister, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Indie Navarette as Rogue, Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Maya

Who is your favorite character from the Netflix Marvel shows? Bad news for fans of Nurse Claire Temple, played by Rosario Dawson in all the Netflix Marvel shows, as it was revealed she filmed a scene in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' that was cut. "Well, I’m going to have to say — I could have said 'Spider-Man'. I even shot a scene in the new ‘Spider-Man’ movie, but I got cut out.I told my mom about the scene being cut, and she was like, 'That sucks. Now I can't post the picture

What is your favorite Mel Gibson film? Good news for fans of the 'Lethal Weapon' series, as Mel Gibson talked with Collider about the chances for a fifth film in the series. "Richard Wenk and I finished the script, and we were going to go into production, but it just never got the wheels under it. I think Warner’s got into some quicksand at that time… so it got buried somewhere, and now I think this David Ellison guy over at Paramount has absorbed or will absorb Warners, or i

What is your favorite David Fincher film? I'm going with 'Fight Club' as it is the perfect movie to debate with other cinephiles over story, visual style, and characters. I once worked on set with Meat Loaf on the legal series 'Fairly Legal' and was lucky enough to talk to him about it. Sad news for fans of the Korean series 'Squid Game' as Netflix isn't moving forward with David Fincher's spinoff series, which was planned to take place in the USA but be filmed in the UK. Wri

Which comic book character do you want to see in live action? Sad news at the DCU as the planned series 'Booster Gold' is not moving ahead on HBO. The superhero is a gloryhound time traveller from the future who returns to historical events to save the day and become famous.

Ca

What is your favorite MCU television show? Sad news for Marvel fans as Disney+ has cancelled the series 'Wonder Man' after one season, even after a renewal was ordered in March. The show starred Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley as actors Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery, that follows them in Hollywood making a film about the 'Wonder Man' comics while being investigated by the Department of Damage Control (DODC). It was a different kind of story told by Marvel that wor

Which is your favorite 'Fast & Furious' film? I'm going with 'Furious 7', as all the best aspects of the franchise peaked with it sadly as everyone since has faltered without Paul Walker. 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson was on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast where he talked about the delays of the eleventh film in 'The Fast & Furious' series. Ritchson memorably joined in 'Fast X' where he played Aimes, the new leader of The Agency who turned out to be a villain aligned with Jas

What is your favorite Marvel film? Exciting news for Marvel fans from Hall H at San Diego Comic Con, where David Jonsson (The Long Walk) was announced to play T'Challa's son in 'Black Panther 3'. Apparently, Director Ryan Coogler cast him five months ago. Marvel head Kevin Feige talked about how the search for the new Black Panther was going to begin after Coogler dealt with the awards season for his film 'Sinners': "A month and a half or so before that process, he called me

What is your favorite Ryan Gosling project? I have to go with the 90's comedy 'Breaker High', which was about teenagers on a cruise ship that was a high school. When I went to work on cruise ships in 2001, I expected my cabin to be the size of theirs, which was really a Vegas hotel room-sized set. Imagine my surprise when I got onboard in Miami to find my cabin was the perfect size to just fit enough slave labor. I'm joking, but not really. Good news for fans of Marvel at San

What is your favorite baseball film? While most of you will say 'Field of Dreams', I'm going to pick 'Rookie of the Year' starring Thomas Ian Nicholas. That film was about a 12-year-old boy who breaks his arm and suddenly has the pitching power of Nolan Ryan and is signed by the Chicago Cubs. It's kinda like Donald Trump getting CTE and becoming the President. Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) is teaming up with director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused) to portray the lif

What is your favourite SciFi show filmed in Vancouver? I'm going with 'Sliders', which was about Jerry O'Connell and his friends travelling through alternate worlds trying to find their way home. Yet in every world they went to, Vancouver still rained for ten months of the year. Ryan Coogler's 'The X-Files' two-hour pilot reboot for Hulu, which he wrote and directed, finished filming in Vancouver last month and is generating so much buzz that news is it may be released as a f

What is your favorite racing film? I'm definitely going with Tony Scott's 'Days of Thunder' which was basically 'Top Gun' in the NASCAR world. The golden hour visuals, Hans Zimmer's pulpy score, Tom Cruise as scrappy hero Cole Trickle and Robert Duvall as the racing car builder who talked to his cars left a film that can be infinitely rewatched. Jonathan Levine (Mr. Irrelevant, Long Shot, 50/50) is deep in talks to direct 'Days of Thunder 2' for Paramount Pictures and produce

Which is your favorite Ed Harris role? I am definitely going with 'The Rock' where he played General Hummel, who, in my opinion, is the most complex villain in cinema history. He took Alcatraz hostage, but in the end couldn't go through with his threat of sending missiles filled with VX gas onto the city of San Francisco. Ed Harris recently talked on the red carpet for 'The Dink' on Apple TV about his extreme displeasure with his role on the 'Yellowstone' spinoff 'Dutton Ranc
