When remakes to movies we enjoyed as children are announced, they are invariably greeted with sorrowful wails and angry accusation that the mere existence of such monstrosities sexually defiles the childhoods of entire generations.

Richard Dreyfuss When X was bitten by a movie theater’s apology for Richard Dreyfuss’s comments at a Jaws screening on May 25, it begged the question, “What the hell could he have possibly said that warranted an immediate email-blast apology?” Instead of a Q&A before the screening at the Cabot cinema in Massachusetts, Dreyfuss reportedly went on a sexist and homophobic rant that alienated attendees, causing many of them to walk out.

Before Gremlins, before fame, before everything, Joe Dante was a film student with a lot of motivation and time on his hands. For his senior thesis project at the Philadelphia College of Art, he and future producer Jon Davison assembled a seven-and-a-half-hour compilation of found footage: Saturday-morning cartoons and newsreels of A-bomb testing, butter commercials and B-movies, Western TV serials and educational filmstrips. The end result is not just an Everest of devotion to movies and TV, but a prophecy for the next half-century to come.

Rihanna. If you are a person who gets excited about Rihanna playing a shape-shifting alien named Bubble doing a stripper routine in the middle of a $180 million sci-fi epic from the director of The Fifth Element — and, really, who wouldn’t be? — you are in luck. RiRi’s face may only appear in Luc Besson’s visual smorgasbord, Valerian, for five minutes (although her character’s in it for about 20; it’s complicated), but that’s plenty of time for her to totally steal the movie.
