Shia LaBeouf says that converting to Catholicism quite literally saved his life. Sitting down with Bishop Robert Barron on his series Conversations at the Crossroads, the actor explained that he found himself on the verge of suicide after facing a series of public scandals. “I had a gun on the table. I was outta here. I didn’t want to be alive anymore when all this happened,” he shared. LaBeouf came under heavy public scrutiny in 2020 after a string of incidents, including being accused of sexual battery by his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs and court-ordered inpatient rehab....

Recovering from a vicious fight with the Joker in the Dark Knight Returns Part 2, Alfred says to Robin of an unconscious Batman, “He’ll live; he’s far too stubborn to die.” Much like the older and weathered iteration of the Dark Knight he played, the Ben Affleck Batman resurgence rumors refuse to quit. The latest is a story from Giant Freakin Robot. The report has Warner Bros. offering the actor a chunk of change fit for Bruce Wayne himself; a cool $30 million....

Space Force has struck well with its second season after getting off to a rough start. Reuniting Steve Carell with The Office showrunner Greg Daniels, the series follows the sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces known as the Space Force. It premiered in 2020 and was met with reviews that were less than stellar, but Netflix committed to the series by ordering a second season. Fortunately, that has turned out to be much more well-received....

In the galaxy far, far away, the stakes are always high. As the war between the Jedi and the Sith wages on, members of both parties make the ultimate sacrifice each day. Even those who don’t succumb to death are often permanently scarred — and that’s the best-case scenario. The Star Wars franchise has never shied away from giving audiences a look at the true cost of war, per Inverse, and one aspect of ceaseless power struggles stands out amongst some of the galaxy’s most influential characters: dismemberment....

Starship Troopers is a 1997 science-fiction action film from RoboCop director Paul Verhoeven, at least that is how it would appear on the surface. The story follows a young soldier named Johnny Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry, a futuristic military unit in a war with an alien force known as the Arachnids and follows Rico’s career from recruit, to finally officer. Yet just like RoboCop, which was released a decade prior, Starship Troopers is actually a biting political satire about militarism, automatism, xenophobia, and colonialism all in the guise of a traditional late 90s action movie....

Stephen King has seen his stories going through something of a renaissance regarding big and small screen adaptations in the last decade. From the successes of IT and Pet Semetary on the big screen, to the slightly lacking TV remake of The Stand, there is no doubt that the work of Stephen King is big business, whether it is a new adaptation or the reimagining of an old movie. With a new take on Firestarter imminent, a prequel to Pet Semetary in the works, and another remake of Salem’s Lot also coming soon, it is not surprising that the author himself has had a few words to say on which of his previous movies he wouldn’t like to see ever be remade....

It seems like you’ve both been in this business for quite some time. Was there a trade that started it all for you guys? Antonio Palazzola: I’ve been doing this for a long time.

Antonio Palazzola: I think I was in middle school when I traded some plastic marbles for some glass marbles....

Bob Odenkirk has quietly been a central figure in television for more than a decade, debuting his sketchy fixer lawyer Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad in 2009. A lot of eyeballs were on the iconic story of a meek school teacher turned meth kingpin and the colorful cast of characters his new world of drug-slinging brought along, most notably Goodman. The sleazy attorney that Odenkirk brought to life became a staple of the series, to such an extent that he got his own spinoff, Better Call Saul, which just ended its six-season run on AMC in 2022....

Boasting a cast predominantly of child actors, with a refreshing sense of humor and chemistry, relationship and family drama, and vibrant 80s fashion moments, we tend to forget that Stranger Things is indeed classified as a horror, among other genres. When season one first introduced the scary elements, it worked because we weren’t really yet informed or accustomed to the way things worked in Hawkins and The Upside Down. Due to our familiarity with the characters and the environment, the audience has grown to expect the horror elements, especially since some seasons were influenced by famous horror directors....

A vehicle spotted on the Stranger Things season 4 set may prove a huge fan theory to be true. Netflix and the Duffer Brothers recently announced that the fourth season of the massively successful series was officially happening. Fans were left with some major questions at the end of season 3, along with some broken hearts as the gang split up after the apparent death of Chief Jim Hopper. However, is Hopper really dead?...

DEAL PUTS NBC BACK ON TOPNBC’s Deal or No Dealshowed it was the real deal Friday, as its fifth and final day in the 8:00 p.m. hour not only won the hour but also was the highest-rated show of the night, posting a 6.9 rating and a 13 share. Moreover it helped give NBC’s magazine show Dateline a narrow victory in the 9:00 p.m. hour over CBS’s Close to Home, and probably helped Law & Order: Criminal Intentedge out CBS’s Numb3rsin the 10:00 p....

TALENT’S GOT RATINGS Talent contests once again dominated the Wednesday-night ratings with NBC’s America’s Got Talent taking the lead between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. The first half of the Regis Philbin-hosted show scored a 5.3 rating and a 10 share, beating Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance, which drew a 4.9/9. Rock Star on CBS finished third with a 3.4/6, while ABC’s repeat of The One: Making a Music Star finished fourth....

IDOL VOTERS OUST ANOTHER FAVORITEChris Daughtry, whom many critics described as the far-ahead frontrunner in the current American Idolcontest, received the fewest votes from audience members this week and was booted off the show Wednesday night. As the vote tally was announced, judge Simon Cowell appeared stunned and judge Paula Abdul sat teary-eyed, then buried her face in her hands. Although the Wednesday results show had been topping the Tuesday performance show in the ratings for the past two weeks, last night’s show recorded a 16....

AND THEN THERE WERE THREE Jason Castro, whose exotic good looks and sweet personality – rather than his vocal talent – were often credited for keeping him in the American Idolrunning until the final four, was eliminated Wednesday night, as 22.4 million viewers tuned in (13.8 rating and a 21 share). (The remaining contestants are David Cook, David Archuleta and Syesha Mercado.) While it remained an unbeatable figure for the Fox show and gave the network another victory for the night, it was nevertheless nearly 6 million below the number who tuned in on the comparable night a year ago (28....

That is the price the remaining 15 percent – or 10 30-second spots – will go for, the newspaper said....

FALL SEASON KICKS OFF WITH CBS ON TOP CBS remained the ratings leader as the fall season was officially launched last week – but this time with a new/old show topping the Nielsen ratings list. NCIS,which returned for a seventh season, took the No. 1 spot with 20.6 million viewers. (It repeated again last night with the identical number.) Moreover, its spinoff, NCIS: Los Angeles, debuted in a tie for second place with 17....
