    Larry David thinks his FTX Super Bowl ad in 2022 was a prettyyyy, prettyyy big mistake.

    That was the vibe when the Curb Your Enthusiasm star called himself “an idiot” during an interview with The Associated Press recently. He was part of the glut of FTX Super Bowl 2022 ads angled on FOMO the same year FTX collapsed, and we know how that story went.

    Of course, there were no crypto ads during Super Bowl LVIII — unless you count Jack Dorsey wearing a Satoshi shirt again.

    Sir Anthony Hopkins gets back into his most famous role.

    Does Hopkins’ portrayal of the guy in the mascot costume for the Wrexham Association Football Club exist in the same world as Silence of the Lambs?

    This Super Bowl commercial doesn’t say he’s not playing Hannibal Lecter playing Wrex the Dragon. I’m calling this canon.

    Forever a sucker for cowboy robots.

    Y’all don’t know this about me, but I had designs of making a cowboy robot comic book in the early 2000s, when becoming a Real Comic Book Artist was my primary goal in life.

    I never published one, but this Super Bowl commercial from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, like Cowboys & Aliens before it, was made for exactly me.

    The Fall Guy trailer has everything.

    Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, and references to so many things are in The Fall Guy’s trailer from the Super Bowl. Also, I think Gosling is just playing a dirty version of Ken from Barbie?

    The trailer for Wicked hits all the right notes.

    The trailer for the film adaptation of the Wicked musical showed up during the Super Bowl today, giving a first look at John Chu’s version of the sympathetic look at the Wicked Witch that served as Dorothy’s foil in The Wizard of Oz.

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes gets a new trailer.

    The latest trailer for Wes Ball’s take on the Apes story aired during the Super Bowl, giving a closer look than the first trailer did at the society that has sprung up generations after the chimp from the first movie, Caesar, ended his reign.

    TikTok is going full QVC with studios for creators to peddle products from.

    That’s according to a new report in The Information, which says the company is opening the studios in “several locations in cities including LA,” which it may or may not charge creators to use for promoting products.

    TikTok plunged into US e-commerce last year and plans to start taking a bigger cut of sellers’ profits soon.
