While exploring Appalachia, how many genuinely care about the junk items we hoard? You may “loot all,” ignoring whatever is in the container until it’s time to scrap your junk back at C.A.M.P., but it’s rare to sit back and read through each item. But if you are looking for a specific item, such as Cloth, you’re going…

In a time of legend long past, when video games were still emerging from the primordial mists and magic still flowed through all things, there were games of ultimate power. These games didn’t concern themselves with Italian plumbers or sad surrogate dads, but with fierce warriors who shirtlessly strode into battle,…

If you missed out on Yorgos Lanthimos’s Kinds of Kindness in theaters, fear not! The off-kilter dramatic comedy, starring Emma Stone (Poor Things, The Curse, Maniac), Jesse Plemons (Civil War, Killers of the Flower Moon, Antlers), and Willem Dafoe (Poor Things, The Lighthouse, Gonzo Girl) is getting Digital and Blu-ray release dates from Searchlight Pictures. Kinds of Kindness becomes available through digital retailers on August 27, with Blu-ray and DVD versions hitting shelves on October 8.
According to Searchlight’s press release, Kinds of Kindness is a triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life, a policeman who is alarmed that his wife, who was missing at sea, has returned and seems a different person, and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
Kinds of Kindness fans hoping to get more out of Lanthimos’s film’s home release can look forward to bonus features that take audiences behind the scenes. The first feature is It Takes All Kinds: The Vision of Kinds of Kindness. In this feature, you can join the cast for a behind-the-scenes look at this unique film written by Yorgos Lanthimos and Afthimis Filppou. See how the sets, costumes, cinematography, and music amplify the film’s themes and discover what RMF stands for.
JoBlo’s Eric Walkuski reviewed Kinds of Kindness for the site, saying the film’s unpredictability is its best asset. Adding, “Super fans of the director will surely be enamored with the film’s lurid quirks, while the casual moviegoer might wonder what the hell just happened during that almost three hour sideshow. It’s not exactly rewarding, but it’s also difficult to look away from.”
Sounds like Kinds of Kindness is right up my alley. Perhaps I’ll arrange a double-feature of Lanthimos’s Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness to set my brain on fire for an evening. I’ll take any opportunity to watch Emma Stone strut her stuff, and she looks to give an extra-weird performance in Lanthimos’s latest feature. Will you pick up a copy of Kinds of Kindness? Let us know in the comment section below.

The high-school zombie hack-and-slash revival is almost upon us. The LolliPop Chainsaw remaster, called RePOP, is coming out earlier than expected with a price tag that has some fans scratching their heads.

David Zaslav would famously make some unpopular and questionable decisions once he became in charge at Warner Bros. However, even before his takeover, the studio that oversaw the DCEU had already been under fire by critics and fans alike for their handling of the DC franchise. One notorious case came with David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. The theatrical release of the film would underwhelm audiences after the very warm reception of the final trailer set to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. DC’s final edit was one that felt disjointed and unfinished.
Months after he said he was done with DC, David Ayer would now take to his social media to get fans to press hard on demanding his cut of the film be released. Ayer posted a picture that stated, “Release the Ayer Cut.” The picture featured a giant art rendition of Jared Leto’s Joker mouth and a quote from Ayer on the picture reads, “This is not a directors cut, this is my edit, this is my mature cut.”
Fan demands for Ayer’s Director’s Cut of Suicide Squad began after Warner Bros. unleashed the Snyder Cut of Justice League. The final realization of the 4-hour epic’s official release lit a fire under dedicated fans, prompting Ayer to campaign for Suicide Squad to receive the same treatment. Despite waves of loyal fans tweeting support, mounting petitions, and organizing alternate ways of amplifying Ayer’s determination, the support from WB isn’t there.
According to Ayer, his Director’s Cut of Suicide Squad would have included more backstory for some characters, a romance between Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Deadshot (Will Smith), extended scenes featuring Jared Leto’s Joker, a glimpse into Joker and Harley’s abusive relationship, Diablo surviving his on-screen demise, and more.
Ayer even wrote an open letter about the film’s unfair treatment, saying he put his life into Suicide Squad. “I made something amazing,” Ayer wrote in the letter. “My cut is intricate and emotional journey with some bad people who are shit on and discarded (a theme that resonates in my soul). The studio cut is not my movie. Read that again. And my cut is not the 10 week director’s cut – it’s a fully mature edit by Lee Smith standing on the incredible work by John Gilroy. It’s all Steven Price’s brilliant score, with not a single radio song in the whole thing. It has traditional character arcs, amazing performances, a solid third-act resolution. A handful of people have seen it.”

Is there anything more satisfying than running a Slugger build in Fallout 76, tracking down a few Blood Eagles, and stomping them into the dirt in exchange for sweet loot? It’s one of Appalachia’s little joys and, typically speaking, well worth the hunt. Blood Eagles scavenge fantastic loot for you to swoop in and…
