(Greenwich Entertainment via AP) (AP) The assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un s estranged half-brother Kim Jong Nam at Kuala Lumpur s airport in February of 2017, I m embarrassed to say, was a blip on my radar. There was a vague recollection of two young women who were caught on CCTV smearing the deadly VX nerve agent on his face and running away. Kim Jong Nam died within the hour. It seemed right out of a spy movie and apparently one I wrongly assumed I already knew the end to. And although the event and aftermath were widely, exhaustively covered, I don t think I m the only one who lost the thread early.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is shaping up to be one of the more interesting entries from Warner Bros.’ release slate in 2021. Recently, Zack Snyder himself revealed that the four-part miniseries coming to HBO Max may be getting an R-rating, as compared to the original’s PG-13 rating.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Snyder explained that the potential new rating is justified given how “insane and epic” the Snyder Cut, which amounts to a whopping four hours cumulatively, is in terms of content.
Certain heroes blurt out expletives and speak a lot more candidly, and violence of a more visceral nature is also assured.
