When Ridley Scott — the man behind Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator — declares that “most modern movies are sh*t,” you’d expect the internet to light up. And it did. In an interview with Variety, the 86-year-old director claimed today’s cinema is “drowning in mediocrity,” saying he often re-watches his old work because new films “just aren’t very good.”
Remember when Microsoft could make Halo games and they were awesome? Remember when people played those games, paid for those games, and Xbox 360 was the leading console the world-over?

In September 2025, Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter to Character.AI, forcing the platform to strip away all Disney-owned characters from its catalog.

James Gunn seemingly can’t help himself. The man who was hired to “save” DC has instead made himself its unofficial mascot — and not in a good way.

For over a week, ABC’s The View maintained radio silence on the Jimmy Kimmel controversy. That silence broke this Monday — the very same day ABC was set to announce that Kimmel would be returning to the air. Coincidence?
