Historically, the relationship between Hollywood and European comic books has been fraught with mutual distrust and cultural dissonance. Not to disparage Steven Spielberg — one of our national treasures — but his 2011 adaptation of The Adventures of Tintin was a bit of a disaster. And when La Femme Nikita director Luc Besson fulfilled a childhood fantasy in 2017 by bankrolling Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets out of his own pocket, the most expensive independent movie ever made landed with the thud of a global box office bomb.
But there’s hope on the horizon. European comic books — specifically, the Franco-Belgian school spearheaded by the Tintin character and his creator Hergé — are both a multimillion Euro industry and a sumptuous art form with dozens of successful franchises waiting to be developed. N

Tinsley Mortimer was born with the makings of an “it girl.” She came from a wealthy family with a history of philanthropy, then married into an even wealthier family, giving her full heiress status. Once she quit her day job and teamed up with self-proclaimed “queenmaker” and society publicist R. Couri Hay, she was able to realize her full socialite potential, entering the ranks of the most photographed women in early-2000s New York City alongside Paris Hilton and Casey Johnson. And while Hay may deserve the credit for getting Mortimer’s foot in the door, the true queenmakers were the gossip blogs that kept her there, for better or worse.

The first half of the Hulu documentary Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl is a passable overview of the turn-of-the-21st-century heiress-celebrity scene, plus some of the bloggers who made their names as barnacles on the gilded ship. You probably know most of the boldfaced names: Paris and Nicky Hilton, Nicole Richie, Tinsley Mortimer. You might even know their most fervent chroniclers, including Perez Hilton and Gawker’s Emily Gould, professional gossips who made a meal ticket out of the usually blond, always-rich pretty young things they covered. It’s an intriguing enough story,...

Vic Reeves has admitted that he “never really speaks” to comedy partner Bob Mortimer.
The pair met in 1986, forming their comedy double act Vic and Bob, best known for their wacky panel show Shooting Stars.
However, in a new interview with the Radio Times, Reeves – whose real name is Jim Moir – admitted that he and Mortimer are rarely in contact.
“We never really speak much. Bob and I have never been ones for talking on the phone,” he said.
“[I’ll] see him now and then and have a chat about things.”
In recent years, Reeves has focused on painting, releasing his artwork under his real name.
However, he has often noted the link between art and comedy, saying that art, to him, is “just for laughs”.
“I’ve done straight drawings and paintings and things and I haven’t got as much pleasure out of them as if I’d done...

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course may be short (early community estimates suggest it can be beaten in five hours if you’re good enough), but that doesn’t mean the Dlc isn’t the perfect follow-up to one of the best action games of the last several years or that its boss fights are anything less than the absolute best. Actually, Cuphead‘s first and only Dlc add-on happens to feature a secret boss fight that many players will surely miss.
Yes, if you’re the kind of Cuphead player who is able to breeze through the game’s collection of ridiculously tough boss fights and are always looking for a little more, The Delicious Last Course happens to contain a secret encounter that will surely offer you that something extra you crave.
In a fascinating twist, though, the hardest thing about that secret boss fight isn’t beating it but rather unlocking it.
