The PG-rated, CGI-laden movie grossed $758 million worldwide and launched its star into a position where she could basically do whatever she wanted in Hollywood.

MGM has revealed the cast and plot for its animated Addams Family movie, along with the first official artwork. The creepy and kooky Addams Family originated in a series of single panel cartoons drawn for The New Yorker in the 1930s, but have since made the jump to cartoon TV series, live-action TV shows, and even live-action movies over the decades since then. Tim Burton is (unsurprisingly) among the Addams’ biggest fans and was loosed attached to direct a stop-motion Addams Family movie back in the late 2000s, but the film never made it past the early development stage....

Suva’s AAPL price target is currently at $300 and he expects the stock to move toward it as 2020 begins.

American Gods season 2’s ratings have fell sharply, like Icarus plummeting earthwards. The season 2 premiere’s ratings (0.52 million) were a third smaller than the season 1 finale (0.774 million), and one-third of that shrunk audience didn’t return for the second episode of season 2, with the viewership declining steadily ever since (the latest episode only scored 0.336 million viewers). Based on the award-winning novel by Neil Gaiman, American Gods tells the story of a man named Shadow Moon and how he is drawn into the conflict between the gods of the Old World and the New World gods that draw power from forces like Technology or Globalization....

As a real-life impeachment process looms, what better time to look forward to a re-examination of one that already happened? We’re still a solid nine months away from the premiere of Impeachment: American Crime Story, assuming that it does premiere as scheduled in late September 2020.

Freak Show might not have been the best season of American Horror Story, but it was certainly one of the most stylish. Each costume highlighted the characters’ quirks, making them truly come to life.
