Jay and Silent Bob VR Series Announced

The story follows the two titular main characters trying to stop Hollywood from rebooting the "Bluntman and Chronic" movie.

New Halloween Film Will Feature Michael Myers’ Original Mask
This year's new Halloween movie will feature Michael Myers wearing his original mask, according to the film's makeup artist.
In an interview with Halloween Daily News, special effects makeup artist Christopher Nelson revealed the mask won't look pristine or new in this upcoming film, but will reflect the passage of time.
"The film takes place 40 years later, so you’re not going to have that same mask, it’s not going to be this pristine, beautiful thing that it was in 1978," Nelson said. "You have to approach it from that standpoint."
Instead, the mask will look weathered and deteriorated since the new Halloween does take place four decades after the original. Nelson studied hundreds of books and photos to master this broken down look for Michael Myers' iconic mask.

Know Your Captain Marvel from Your Captain Mar-Vell
With the Shazam! movie now out, and Brie Larson's Captain Marvel now a known quantity and soon to be featured in Avengers: Endgame, it's funny to think that these two heroes -- who once shared the same name -- are both on the big screen at the same time. And that's just the beginning of the Captain Marvels...
These Captain Marvels have the same name but different logos, different symbols, and even different powers. But with two different movies based on these characters now a reality, now would seem to be a good time to take a look at the many people that have used the Captain Marvel moniker over the years. Confused yet? No? Let’s begin anyway!
Note: This story has been updated to reflect the release of Shazam! and Captain Marvel.
