| Movies, A Fantastic Woman, Daniela Vega, LGBTQ Representation By Teresa Jusino on Fri,6:18 If you haven't had the chance to see A Fantastic Woman, this year's Oscar-winning film in the Best Foreign Film category, you now have the chance, as it came out this week on Digital HD and Blu-ray. I had the chance to talk to the film's leading lady, Daniela Vega, about what drew her to the project, and what she hopes it does for audiences.

Read More > Movies, Christopher Robin, Ewan McGregor, things we saw today By Vivian Kane on Fri,6:14 If your social media feeds today were just a flood of tears, it might have something to do with this new trailer for Christopher Robin. Read More > Gaming, battlefield, female characters, video games By Dan Van Winkle on Fri,4:53 When the trailer and box art for the game Battlefield V dropped just days ago, it set off backlash that simultaneously shouldn't exist and was entirely predictable. The trailer and box art's prominent featuring of women—along with people of color and a character with a prosthetic arm in the gameplay footage—annoyed people who view the simple existence of more than 50% of the population as a political message. Now, an executive at the game's developer has told them to get lost. Read More > TV, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kellyanne Conway, Samantha Bee By Chelsea Steiner on Fri,4:50 Samantha Bee stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and showed a clip of her interviewing Kellyanne Conway back during her time at The Daily Show. At the time, Conway was just another Republican consultant, and Bee questions her about marketing the Republican party to voters. Bee asks in the clip, “It’s like the Republican party is a shit sandwich. How do you get Americans to eat the sandwich?” Conway responds with, “You dip it in chocolate and you say it has no calories.” Read More > Big on the Internet, The Mary Sue By The Mary Sue Staff on Fri,4:49 The Mary Sue is searching for an uber-talented assistant editor to join our team!

Read More > News, ACLU, immigration reform, kids By Teresa Jusino on Fri,2:55 It's really easy to complain about the Trump Administration and their horrendous attitude toward foreign countries (a.k.a. "shitholes") and immigrants (a.k.a. "rapists" or "criminals"). They give us plenty of material. But the truth is, the U.S. Government has been treating immigrants like garbage forever, despite our reputation as a welcoming port for "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." As the ACLU reported earlier this week, not even migrant children are safe. Read More > TV, #MeToo Movement, #TIMESUP, genius By Chelsea Steiner on Fri,2:09 The myth of the troubled artistic genius has persisted ever since some pompous pre-historic ass clown smeared pigment on the cave walls in Lascaux before pitching a cup of berry juice at the head of his poor assistant. As the #MeToo Movement barrels on, we hear variations of the same story again and again. A lauded creator given carte blanche to wreak havoc and abuse in the name of art, his behavior protected and defended by The Powers That Be. Read More > AMP Featured, TV, Arrested Development, Jessica Walter, Netflix By Princess Weekes on Fri,1:56 After the horrible New York Times interview that exposed pretty much all the male cast of Arrested Development (sans Michael Cera) participating in the dismissal, mansplaining and gaslighting of Jessica Walter, the fallout has continued. Read More > Big on the Internet, Mental illness, Pete Davidson By Vivian Kane on Fri,12:38 "I'm simply writing this because I want everyone out there who has an illness to know that it's not true and that anyone who says that is ill and full of sh*t." Read More > Movies, #MeToo Movement, Harvey Weinstein, sexual assault By Chelsea Steiner on Fri,12:21 Nearly eight months after the New York Times and the New Yorker published chilling accounts of his crimes, Harvey Weinstein has finally been arrested. The disgraced mogul turned himself in to authorities Friday morning, where he was arrested and formally charged with with first- and third-degree rape and a criminal sex act in the first degree. Read More > News, abortion, contributors, reproductive rights By Kylie Cheung on Fri,12:20 Surprisingly enough, this week in reproductive rights was quiet in the realm of state legislatures, which have spent the past few weeks trying to ban abortion as early as possible. But in terms of groundbreaking studies, updates on the Trump administration’s decision to cut Planned Parenthood funding, and an impending major vote on abortion in Ireland, this week has hardly lacked for big news.
