| The Suicide Squad's Weasel Had a Fantastic Inspiration and It Wasn't a Weasel Posted: 28 May 2021 04:00 PM PDT  The Weasel's going to die. This isn't a spoiler, I just can't imagine James Gunn's The Suicide Squad movie killing off a slew of its huge cast of villains and the gross, ratty anthropomorphic animal not being among the dead. Still, I suddenly hope he survives as Gunn has just revealed the inspiration for the movie's… |

| Infinite's First Trailer Introduces an Immortal Mark Wahlberg Posted: 28 May 2021 12:30 PM PDT  Usually when a first trailer comes out, you have to wait at least a few months to watch the movie itself. Maybe sooner if it's a Netflix movie. But, in the case of the new Mark Wahlberg sci-fi film Infinite, you won't even have to wait two weeks. It'll be here on June 10 and the first trailer was just released. |
| A DARPA Sarcasm Detector Is Good Posted: 28 May 2021 12:25 PM PDT  Members of the media are sarcastically complaining about a sarcasm detector developed by researchers partnering with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

| 10 Disney Villains Who Need Cruella-Style Spin-Off Movies Posted: 28 May 2021 11:00 AM PDT  Cruella arrives today, Maleficent is two movies deep, and considering how much Disney loves to plunder its own works—is that Gaston show still happening?—this surely won't be the end of the studio's stable of villains getting their own moments in the spotlight. |

Honestly, I didn't think it could be improved upon much, so when I heard that a new sous vide… |

| Netflix's Icelandic Sci-Fi Movie Katla Looks Absolutely Baffling in the Best Way Posted: 28 May 2021 09:15 AM PDT  Iceland's giant volcano Katla is overdue for a very, very large eruption.
