Screenshot: Lucasfilm Star Wars is well-known for its iconic costumes, but neither Padmé’s gowns nor Han Solo’s blue/brown jacket are as infamous as maybe the skimpiest garment worn on-screen in the entire franchise: Princess Leia ’s bikini, prisoner garb forced upon the captive Rebel by Jabba the Hutt . Now, the costume once worn by Carrie Fisher is going up for auction, with an estimated price as huge as the garment is small. Image: Heritage Auctions/HA.com The starting bid for the ensemble seen in 1983's Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi is $30,000 at Heritage Auctions , which bills it as a “production made bikini costume from [ILM chief sculptor] Richard Miller.” It comes with the following: bikini brassiere, front and back “bikini plates,” two hip rings, one armlet, and one bracelet, all crafted by Miller in collaboration with Return of the Jedi costumer designer Nilo Rodis-Jamero. More details: “The bikini brassiere is the early version crafted of rigid re...

Image: Sony Pictures/Marvel All told, Spider-Man is one of the weirdest high-profile superheroes. Peter Parker will always be famous, and that means anything he ends up headlining will just eventually have an odd aura around it. Look no further than his own movies: after Sam Raimi’s trilogy , Sony didn’t maintain the proper hold it had on the franchise, eventually resulting in a shared custody deal with the character which brought him to the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Tom Holland. Holland’s Peter Parker made his debut in Captain America: Civil War, and has ultimately split his MCU time as a guest star and three-time headliner. Of the current trilogy, the sophomore effort of Spider-Man: Far From Home , which released on July 2, 2019, came with baggage greater than 2017’s Homecoming. Coming just over two months after Avengers: Endgame , the movie got right to the point and positioned Peter as a potential MCU anchor now that most of the Avengers (and Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Star...

Chainsaw not pictured. Image: Lionsgate Borderlands’ August 9 release is just over a month away, and it’s still almost incredible that this movie exists. The fact that it’s directed by Eli Roth and based on the mega-popular video game isn’t so odd; rather, it’s the stacked ensemble cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Hart, Ariana Greenblatt, Edgar Ramírez, the voice of Jack Black , and... Cate Blanchett ? Lest you think that Blanchett, who’s more known for dramatic roles (though she doesn’t turn down franchise opportunities; see: the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok), signed on to play space outlaw Lilith merely for a paycheck, let the two-time Oscar winner set you straight. Speaking to Empire , Blanchett explained “covid madness” might have influenced her decision to join the cast, under the guidance of Roth, who she’d worked with previously (along with Black) on 2018's The House With a Clock ...

Mia Goth is Maxine in MaXXXine. Image: A24 There was a moment while I was watching Ti West’s latest film, MaXXXine, that I thought I figured it out. Not the plot or any big twists mind you, but merely what the film was trying to say about fame, Hollywood, and these characters . Just as that happened though, things took a turn in a way that was far simpler and tamer than I’d given it credit for. Which, I soon, realized was MaXXXine in a nutshell. It’s a film filled with ideas and potential that feels oddly constrained. Set after the events of West’s previous two films, X and Pearl (which you don’t need to see for this though it can’t hurt), MaXXXine stars Mia Goth as the title character, a young adult film star who has moved to Hollywood to conquer the big time. Maxine is a confident, capable woman who will stop at nothing to achieve her dreams and, after booking her first major film, she’s closer than ever to doing just that. However, as we saw in X (and in flashes here), Maxine...

Daemon (Matt Smith) finds some surprises on his Harrenhal holiday. Image: Ollie Upton/HBO A lot happened on last night’s House of the Dragon , a quality the show’s many fans have come to expect from HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel. But you have to assume most viewers gasped at the big cameo in “The Burning Mill,” featuring a character even diehards weren’t expecting to see. In a new interview with Variety , “The Burning Mill” director Geeta Vasant Patel—who’s also behind the camera for the season two finale, so imagine all the secrets she could spill—talks about some of episode three’s most startling moments... including that wild surprise. That includes Aemond’s nude scene, the clandestine Rhaenyra-Alicent meeting, and how Ser Criston Cole has rapidly become House of the Dragon’s most hated character—an impressive feat considering he’s not even a Targaryen. But Patel also had some insights into that startling cameo, featuring the very familiar face of Milly Alcock, who played y...
