Quantum Leap star Scott Bakula doesn’t know if he’ll ever return as Sam Beckett in a potential revival of the classic sci-fi series, but he’s got an idea of what things would be like for the leaper in a modern day setting.

The two supervising animators on what it was like to work on this film and what’s the future of animation With all the Pixar films, I’ve been amazed at what computers can do in the movies. I thought nothing could top The Incredibles in terms of animation. Then, I saw Cars! From the opening scene to the closing credits, the animation in this film is spectacular.

Fans of Stephen King have wondered for some time whether the author would ever return to the town of Derry and the entity called IT, but it seems that they shouldn’t hold out much hope for a new Pennywise-centric novel because King has revealed he doesn’t “have a relationship to Pennywise now.” According to comments made by King during an appearance on Bloody Disgusting’s The Losers Club Podcast, it seems that he also doesn’t have an input on the Welcome To Derry prequel that is being developed for HBO Max, but he is looking forward to it as a fan....

A bespectacled man sits in his armchair, reading the newspaper and catching up on yesterday’s events. The steam from the coffee (black, naturally) swirls up into the air beside him. He might rake the leaves off the lawn today, maybe not. There may not be time. One thing is for certain, however: he’ll finish the day off with a cold beer and fall asleep in front of the tube. Let’s start by making it very clear that Ted Wheeler, or “Mike’s Dad” in Stranger Things, isn’t interesting....

Until he’s some twisted dead thing?...

BOX OFFICE SUPER DURING SUPER BOWL Although 147 million people spent at least part of Sunday night in front of their TV sets watching the Super Bowl game, there were nevertheless enough moviegoers left over to give the box office its biggest Super Bowl weekend ever.

APRIL MADNESS? With all No. 1 seeds making it to the Final Four in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, CBS is hoping that ratings for March Madness will be given a significant lift in April. They are down an average of 7 percent from the same number of games a year ago.

Whether they co-wrote the script with fellow writers, directed the scripts they wrote, or simply penned the script by themselves, the 1990s were formative years for screenwriting....
