The trailer of Isle of Dogs just released, and it is a dystopian mess, to put it mildly.

From malls to street vendors, usage of QR codes is quite widespread.

It’s a funny time to be Stephen King – but some would say it always is. The cadaver of the Dark Tower – it was butchered upon release by both fans and critics – is still warm. Mr Mercedes, another adaptation of one of his books – this one for TV – has begun promisingly. Gerald’s Game, yet another adaptation, is coming soon – this month, in fact. Donald […]
