Netflix’s new cyber apocalypse film, “Leave the World Behind,” warns that white people should not be trusted if the world faces an apocalypse disaster. The new film was co-produced by Barack and Michelle Obama and stars Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon. The movie’s plot follows a white family vacationing in a rented house on Long Island. At the beginning of the movie, the vacation home’s owner, G.H. Scott, and his daughter, Ruth, arrive at their home after a major cyber attack occurs across the United States. During one scene, G.H. and his daughter Ruth are seen together about to sleep,...

Nov. 1 (UPI) -- An escaped Pennsylvania pig named Kevin Bacon is back home after rescue efforts including a Benadryl-laced sticky bun and a plea for help from the actor who shares his name. Chelsea Rumbaugh of Gettysburg said the 200-pound Juliana pig was captured after 17 days on the loose when he returned to her property and wandered into the new pen she and her husband constructed after the escape. "I had come outside with my husband to do a perimeter walk of our property to see if Kevin was hiding in the woods," Rumbaugh told the Philly Voice....

SHIAWASSEE COUNTY, Mich. (WEYI) — A judge has decided that Mark Latunski will face a charge of first-degree murder after a degree hearing. The murder degree hearing for Mark Latunski continued for a second day on Wednesday. Latunski has admitted to killing and mutilating Kevin Bacon in court, accepting a plea into open murder.

John Logan has written many devilish characters for the screen, like Sweeney Todd, Silva from Skyfall, and The Aviator’s take on Howard Hughe. But Logan has created a more ambiguous con man in his new Blumhouse’s movie, They/Them: Owen Whistler, leader of his family’s LGBTQ+ conversion camp, is portrayed by Kevin Bacon. He soothes his suspicious queer campers by using calm, therapeutic rhetoric; he does it to disengage the campers and earn their trust. Or — as Logan tells MovieMaker — “using the language of the angels to serve the devil.” They/Them isn’t about any ordinary summer camp. Its counselors...

They/Them, an upcoming horror film starring Kevin Bacon and set within a “gay conversion camp”, has officially received a date for its release to NBC’s Peacock streaming platform. Bacon has done his lion’s share of interestingly offbeat horror films in his illustrious career, starting all the way back in 1980 with Friday the 13th. Some were hits, some were misses, and some sadly did not get the attention they deserve. Stir of Echoes, for instance, is still a spooky-good forgotten gem. The same can be said of the heir to the genre’s ghostly and bloody throne, Blumhouse. Popularizing niche franchises...

Georgia is ground zero in the battle for the balance of power in Washington, D.C., as control of the U.S. Senate now hinges on the outcome of the two Senate runoff races in the Peach State. With the Senate majority leadership within his reach, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) recently declared, “Now we take Georgia, and then we change America.” Now Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are reportedly the latest Hollywood celebrities to lend their star power to Democrats in Georgia, hoping to boost the chances of candidates Raphael Warrnock and Jon Ossoff and turn the Senate blue.

My dear fellow Americans. Actor Kevin Bacon recently said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that “it’s a good time for old white guys like me to just shut up and listen.” While I understand his sentiment, I, for one, will not be quiet. You see, Kevin, a lot of ole white guys like myself, clawed and struggled for where we are in life. If you mean Kevin, white guys that were given a huge leg up in life by having a father who was a major figure in Architecture — the great Edmund Bacon — or a mother...

It’s not surprising that the majority of actors and actresses in Hollywood are liberals. But the number of celebrities who go out of their way to support abortion rights and, in particular, Planned Parenthood, through PSAs, speaking engagements and financial donations is shocking. Here are 42 celebrities who have publicly supported the abortion giant. Celebrities Know What’s Good for Women — Just Let Them Tell You Many celebrities have starred in sanctimonious public service announcements for the abortion giant. Actress Scarlett Johansson starred in this 2011 PSA, where she called a bill to defund Planned Parenthood “disastrous.” Before the 2012...

Film and television stars hit Republicans on Wednesday for their opposition to abortion rights and free access to birth control. Stanley Tucci, Morena Baccarin, Mehcad Brooks and others appeared in a Web video where they slammed conservative positions on women's health as retrograde... campaign began last year with another star-studded video featuring Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Amy Poehler and other notable actors. "We've drawn the line on moving backward on reproductive rights," Tucci said in the video released Wednesday.

(NEW YORK) —“ ‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy…What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet,” wrote Shakespeare in Romeo & Juliet.   But apparently thy name is no longer so sweet for actor Kevin Bacon.        Bowing to pressure from various Muslim groups such as CAIR (Center for American–Islamic Relations), the iconic actor and musician has publically vowed to change his last name.  The reason: although many Muslims, like most Americans, watch films featuring the seemingly omnipresent actor, his last name has become a source of “discomfort,” as...

Actor Kevin Bacon told the Daily Caller on Thursday that he feels President Obama has “made a difference” and will be supporting him for re-election. “I’m going to vote for Obama,” Bacon said. “I think he has already made a difference and I support him.” He also said that he was please “overall” with Obama’s performance.

I was part of the Footloose generation. I used to shake my ass to the theme song countless times at junior high school dances, and have followed your career with some interest through the years (full disclosure: Tremors is still my favorite Bacon flick). How disappointing it was then to read this morning of your recent slide into the cult of EnviroCelebs regarding the protesting of Alberta’s oil sands and their associated proposed Keystone XL and Northern Gateway pipelines. We as Albertans are used to seeing certain celebrities getting face time in front of the camera protesting against our energy...

Please forgive the vanity post, but I am moved to say something about the movie "Taking Chance". I was completely unaware of this movie until yesterday and admit to some trepidation as I rented it. I distrust Hollywood's treatment of our military and especially their treatment of our war dead, so was expecting something completely different than what I watched last night. The movie is reverential and touching and shows the love that REAL Americans actually feel for our soldiers. I admit that my estimation of Kevin Bacon has taken a new high and his portrayal of the Marine officer...

For two and a half minutes near the end of "Taking Chance," the new HBO movie about the body of a young Marine returned home for burial, there is no sound except for the salute of the riflemen and the Wyoming wind battering the flags that stand at half mast as the shattered remains of PFC Chance Phelps are placed at rest. The silence amounts to perhaps the most eloquent statement Hollywood has yet made about the Iraq War. Its main competition is an earlier scene in the same movie. Driving along a country road behind an SUV carrying the...

Back in 1984 everybody cut "Footloose. Just admit it. We all did the dance. We all knew every move. And we all had a crush on Kevin Bacon. Now, 25 years later, with the news that Zac Efron is slated to star in the 2010 remake (and Bacon considering a cameo), we look back at the original cast members and the blockbuster hits, surprising career twists, as well as tragedy that have followed in their post-'Footloose' careers.

We had an extended debate at the office today....what was the best "MTv Unplugged" performance? Me? Hands down....Alice in Chains! Before any reasons are discussed ..... I was curious as to anyone else's opinions or preferences on the topic?

A Crime Ready for Its Close-Up Cinema Tackles Pedophilia, in Equal Amounts of Shadow and Light By Desson Thomson Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, January 16, 2005; Page N01 In "Bad Education," which opened here Friday, a preteen boy named Ignacio is singing "Moon River" in Spanish while a priest strums a guitar in an idyllic riverside setting.
