The Fall Guy hit theaters at the front end of the summer 2024 movie season and was met with a resounding thud. The opening week box office numbers were lower than expected. The second week numbers dipped even further as it was overtaken by another entry in the Planet of the Apes extended universe. A few weeks later, Twisters came out and swept away any remnants of buzz the film had left scattered behind it. The general consensus, at least from the perspective of the studios and trade publications, was that the movie was a flop. That’s a bummer, because The Fall Guy is a blast. But there is good news.

Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

Arcane season 2 has a new trailer out and, well, it looks like things in Piltover and Zaun are only getting worse and turning into an all-out war. Now, I know that Jinx and Vi are basically doomed by the narrative to never reconcile — and to always be at each other’s throats — but seeing that manifest physically might just destroy me. The new trailer shows Vi picking up an Enforcer gun and uniform, while Jinx becomes some sort of messiah symbol for the oppressed people of the Undercity. All the other characters look like they’re stepping up to their final in-game forms, too, so we’ll get to see how that happens within the show.

Wilson is drawn to forms of healing. Her 2013 film After Tiller chronicles the careers of third-trimester abortion doctors. In 2017’s The Departure, she follows a punk turned Buddhist priest devoted to suicide counseling. Taylor Swift granted her unimaginable access to the making of Swift’s 2019 album Lover for the 2020 film Miss Americana, which also captured a bruised pop star desperate to use her powers to fix her country. Wilson’s new film, Look Into My Eyes, deals with similar themes through the therapeutic bargain a psychic patron makes with a professional clairvoyant.

On Thursday, Remedy Entertainment announced it would soon patch Alan Wake to cut David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” from the game’s credits due to licensing issues. Music has been a problem for Alan Wake before: Remedy had to pull the entire game off Steam, Xbox Games Store, and other platforms from May 2017 to October 2018 as the licenses were renegotiated. And it’s not only a Remedy problem. It seemingly happens over and over again: Sega and Obsidian Entertainment’s Alpha Protocol, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Grand Theft Auto 3’s PlayStation 3 launch was delayed, too, over music clearance), 2K Games’ Spec Ops: The Line, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s upcoming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Activision’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, and plenty more have all had music licensing issues.

Trust is a big deal, especially in Middle-earth. That’s the key takeaway directors Louise Hooper and Sanaa Hamri and writer Glenise Mullins are keen to impart with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’s latest episode. It’s a simple yet effective throughline that yields the second season’s most focused (and satisfying) entry yet. And yet episode 4’s emphasis on trust also underscores where it’s missing — not just between our heroes, but between the show and its audience.

It’s been over eight years since Gravity Falls ended, but the fandom is experiencing a mini renaissance. It’s all thanks to The Book of Bill, a new companion text (if a book with a page dedicated to silly straws, a straight excerpt of The Great Gatsby, and a two-page advertisement for demonic Precious Moments-inspired tchotchkes can be considered “text”) penned by the show’s creator Alex Hirsch. It’s the first meaty piece of Gravity Falls content in a while, and because of that, I’ve seen more Gravity Falls fan art across social media in the past few weeks than in the past eight years. Judging by the near-month-long stronghold that Gravity Falls and Gravity Falls-associated terms have had on Tumblr’s weekly fandom breakdowns (and anecdotal evidence from my friends on TikTok), I’m not the only one.
