Where most Star Wars fans saw a joke, Genevieve O’Reilly saw pain. In the 1983 Star Wars sequel Return of the Jedi, actress Caroline Blakiston played Rebel Alliance leader Mon Mothma, and one of her most famous lines—”Many Bothans died to bring us this information,” referring to the existence of a second Death Star—is spoken with a kind of ethereal detachment. Like a ghost to a crowded room. But with the Reddit peanut gallery, the line’s convenient and hurried introduction of the movie’s main threat is roasted to no end. After all: Who are Bothans? And how many actually died?…
Sometimes we all need a little break from reality. That’s one of the most appealing aspects of sci-fi, as it offers a temporary glance at worlds that only resemble our own. Some of the most popular sci-fi movies ever made also revolve around war, including the obvious example, Star Wars. But not all those flicks function as escapist entertainment and war stories. The Watch With Us team has selected three great sci-fi movies to watch on Memorial Day Weekend that successfully blend war into the stories without getting oppressively grim. Our first pick is a sci-fi classic from the late…
There’s an action sequence in the eighth and final Mission: Impossible movie, Final Reckoning, that is so insane, so flat-out fucking bonkers, that it really has to be seen to be believed. Hell, I’ve seen it and I still don’t believe it. And while writing about the scene in question can’t possibly do it justice, I’m going to give it a shot here anyway. It arrives a hair past the film’s two-hour mark. By this point in the movie, we’ve already watched Tom Cruise beat the snot out of a thick-necked henchmen with the help of a medieval-looking meat tenderizer.…

But while you might think I’d struggle with pants the most, I’ve had one too many issues with summer dresses. So many silhouettes and patterns make me disappear, to the point where the dress is wearing me rather than the other way around.

Until fairly recently, the flow of content between Hulu and Disney+ only went in one direction. The latter got to play with all of Disney’s biggest brands while Hulu’s superior lineup of films and TV shows was used to shore up Disney+’s shortcomings. Now, Disney seems much more willing to give Hulu subscribers a taste of what they’re missing on Disney+ with a handful of Star Wars movies as well as a few Marvel TV shows. This month, Daredevil and The Punisher are streaming on Hulu, which is ironic since both were Netflix original series produced by Marvel Television nearly…
