Will an Indiana Jones protege soon snatch the iconic wide-brimmed fedora from atop Harrison Ford’s head? Perhaps, but it won’t be Mutt Williams — a.k.a. Indy’s son, Henry Jones III — the character Shia LaBeouf played in 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. “Harrison plays Indiana Jones, that I can certainly say,” screenwriter David Koepp, who has penned a script for the fifth film in the storied Indiana Jones franchise, tells EW. “And […]
The Lily drone is one of the biggest failures in Kickstarter history — and now it's making a comeback in perhaps the saddest possible way. After raising more than $34 million during its initial crowdfunding campaign in 2015, the company was forced to shut down when it couldn't actually finance production of the drone. Now, the Mota Group (who recently bought rights to the name) is announcing a reborn "Lily Next-Gen" drone that looks […]
Chris Martin promised it was a one-time-only performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_FD9uOTixg Coldplay performed a concert in Miami on Monday night, but their thoughts were with those in Houston. In tribute to those suffering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey, the band wrote and performed a new country song that frontman Chris Martin promised would never be performed again. “This is because we all grew up loving country music, and of course that’s kind of what […]
A brief history of the Dragonpit via Giphy Just when you thought you’d seen most of King’s Landing, we finally visited one of its grandest locations — the Dragonpit. It’s a rather significant place to hold the parley, given its history. It is where dragons were both housed and slaughtered, facts which might make it appeal to both sides in the current conflict. “It must have been the most dangerous […]

Everyone knows the MTV Video Music Awards are more focused on performances instead of the actual awards, but either way, Kendrick Lamar had a very good night. In addition to kicking off the show with a medley, the rapper walked away with six awards out of a field-leading eight nominations — including the top prize, video of the year for his hit “HUMBLE.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VDv6h-3StI A complete list of nominees and winners […]
With the "Game of Thrones" Season 7 finale already upon us, and officially only one season left of the mega-hit HBO series, fans are prepared to say goodbye to more than a large share of characters as the show marches to a conclusion. Sadly, that does mean some characters, both beloved and hated, will not make their way to Season 8. Though Season 7 of the series has been full […]
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan—now going under his full name, William Patrick Corgan—has announced a new solo album, Ogilala, and shared a new song called "Aeronaut." Ogilala—which is set for an October 13 release via BMG—was produced by Rick Rubin. Its songs are, like "Aeronaut," more spare than his work with Smashing Pumpkins, leaning far more heavily on acoustic guitar and piano, instrumentation-wise. "Having written the songs for voice and guitar, […]
Maybe it’s because it falls on a Sunday night, traditionally the time when we’re watching football. Or perhaps it’s because this season of “Game of Thrones” is nothing but battles to set up more battles. Or maybe it’s just because we use sports analogies for almost everything these days (just look at how we speak about politics).
