The Griswolds: Vacation Series with Johnny Galecki in Talks for HBO Max

The Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki is reportedly in talks with HBO Max to executive produce a Griswolds: Vacation spin-off series. A deal has not been finalized yet, and it is unclear if Galecki would reprise the role of Rusty Griswold or stay behind the scenes.

The Hollywood Reporter reports the new Griswolds series would be set in the suburbs of Chicago and focus on the daily lives of one of America’s favorite families. If HBO decides to move forward, the series would likely be an HBO Max exclusive, according to THR.

It’s currently unclear if any of the original actors from National Lampoon’s Vacation would appear in the series, such as Chevy Chase or Beverly D’Angelo. Further, in the 2015 sequel, Vacation, The Office’s Ed Helms played the adult version of Rusty Griswold — making Galecki’s return a bit tricky.

Destiny 2’s Dawning Holiday Event Starts Next Week

Over the years, Bungie has filled its Destiny games with limited-time events to celebrate various holidays. One of the longest-running is the Dawning, Destiny 2‘s version of a holiday celebration, in which you give in-game gifts to NPCs and earn winter-themed items, weapons, and armor. The Dawning is nearly upon us, with Bungie releasing a new trailer and some details about the upcoming event.

As Bungie detailed on its website, the Dawning kicks off on December 17 with the Tuesday weekly reset, and runs until January 14, a total of four weeks. Like last year, to celebrate the holiday in Destiny 2, you’ll visit Eva Lavente and collect a Holiday Oven item, which you’ll use to bake various Destiny-themed cookies to give to characters. Making those cookies requires gathering various ingredients from around the solar system, usually by killing enemies, and discovering the recipes to make each one.

Like every year, the Dawning has a few specific timed rewards to earn as you play through it. Bungie’s site teases a Dawning-specific ship and sparrow you’ll unlock by baking a bunch of cookies, and there’s Dawning-themed armor to earn along the way as well. The big prize of the season, however, is the Dawning weapon, a submachine gun called Cold Front. And you can expect the Eververse store to feature a whole bunch of holiday items to buy with premium currency.

The Dawning is a free event, so you don’t need to have purchased a season pass for the Season of Dawn in order to take part in it and earn its rewards. You can see what else is on tap for the season on Bungie’s Destiny 2 content calendar.

Crunchyroll Mashes Together the Brutal Art of Junji Ito With Modern Fashion With Awesome Results

The next release in Crunchyroll’s streetwear line “Crunchyroll Loves” is a set featuring the work of horror illustrator Junji Ito. If you’re unfamiliar with Ito’s work, you’ve almost certainly seen it online, even if you didn’t know the name attached to it.

His work is visceral and sets your eyes on edge. His style is beautiful, with clean lines and fine details, but even in the panels of his work where nothing supernatural or horrific is happening, there’s just something ever-so-slightly off about it, giving everything he does a sense of foreboding doom.

In other words, it’s awesome. Check out the gallery below to see the upcoming apparel available in the Crunchyroll Loves collab:

Fans Call for Keanu Day As Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 Share Release Date

Keanu Reeves’ renaissance will continue into the foreseeable future, as two of his major upcoming movies, The Matrix 4 and John Wick: Chapter 4, are both set to be released on May 21, 2021. Fans are dubbing this sublime future moment as “Keanu Day” and we’re here for it.

The news broke Wednesday that WB had finally set The Matrix 4’s release date, and fans quickly noticed this aligned directly with John Wick: Chapter 4. While it’s unlikely both films will ultimately keep the same release date — when film conflicts like this emerge, one studio tends to move its directly competing movie to a different date — fans across the Internet will continue to dream about the impending Keanu Day, and the joy it could bring.
