| TV, Gilmore Girls, Lane Kim, The CW/WB By Princess Weekes on Fri,11:42 Fans of the WB show Gilmore Girls, and its Netflix revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, argue about a lot of things. Who was Rory's best boyfriend? Are you #TeamLuke? Do you hate April? Did you love/hate the revival? Yet, for all of our infighting, there are a few things we can rally around: Season seven was the worst season of the show, and Lane Kim deserved better. Read More > TV, Full Frontal with Sam Bee, politics, TBS By Dan Van Winkle on Fri,10:39 We all knew that Donald Trump would react poorly to the cancellation of his favorite sitcom, the rebooted Roseanne, especially since that was brought on by negative reaction to a racist insult on Twitter—one of Trump's other favorite things. What we didn't know at the time was how quickly the perfect false equivalence would get served up for him, and for that, Samantha Bee is definitely sorry. Read More > Movies, Aya Cash, Social Animals, women in film By Teresa Jusino on Fri,8:25 Written and directed by Theresa Bennett in her feature film debut, Social Animals stars Noël Wells as Zoe, a woman in her thirties who can't quite seem to get a handle on the whole "growing up" thing. You're the Worst's Aya Cash co-stars in the film, and I had the chance to speak with her and Bennett during a recent press day for the film in Los Angeles. Read More > Comics, Marvel Comics, Sony, Venom By Teresa Jusino on Thu,6:02 I love meta-commentary, especially when it's funny. When the first trailer for the upcoming Venom dropped, one of the biggest talking points was about one of the characters' pronunciation of the word "symbiote" and how it was completely and totally wrong. (The dictionary apparently disagrees, but I disagree with the goddamn dictionary). Now, Marvel Comics seems to be having a bit of fun with it. Read More > Big on the Internet, Jason Momoa, The Crow By Princess Weekes on Thu,5:48 In "stop trying to make fetch happen" news, the latest attempt to remake The Crow has reached yet another snag. 1994 gave us a buncha fun films you may have forgotten, and Lindy West reminds us why it's important to raise our voice when racism invades our media. Read More > Movies, Alias, Jennifer Garner, Peppermint By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,5:20 When the trailer for Peppermint dropped today, all I could think was "finally!". After a long hiatus from action projects, Jennifer Garner is back and ready to kick some ass in her own John Wick-style revenge vehicle. The only question is, what took Hollywood so long to give this woman the role she deserves? The answer is: poor timing and Ben Affleck. Read More > Movies, albus dumbledore, fantastic beasts: the crimes of grindelwald, J.K. Rowling By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,4:55 The legendary Ian McKellen spilled some scorching hot tea on the representation of Albus Dumbledore's sexuality in Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald. His words echo the frustrations of many fans of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world, which so far appears to be a world without LGBTQIA+ people. Read More > TV, John Goodman, Roseanne Barr, Sara Gilbert By Princess Weekes on Thu,4:54 Just because Roseanne is cancelled does not mean the saga is done just yet. Read More > Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Thu,4:52 If you’ve ever wanted to create your own animations, why not start with the tool used by Google, Dell, NASA, Facebook, Salesforce, MetLife, Amazon, Disney, Fox, and Oracle? Animate like the pros: we’ve got a lifetime subscription to Animatron Studio’s Pro Plan for $49.99 at the Mary Sue Shop. Read More > Movies, Deadpool 2, Drew Goddard, X-Force By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,4:06 The decimation of Deadpool's X-Force is a brilliantly funny sequence, but it also raises some questions regarding the upcoming X-Force spin-off movie. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the writer/director Drew Goddard discusses his reaction to Deadpool 2 and his plans for the spin-off. Goddard, of course, is a veteran of the comic book world, having created Netflix's Daredevil series. Read More > Big on the Internet, Adam Levine, Maroon 5, music video By Teresa Jusino on Thu,3:05 Hey did you know that Voice judge Adam Levine was also in a band? Well lest you forget, Maroon 5 just dropped their latest video last night for the track "Girls Like Me," and it's the kinda video you're likely gonna replay over and over for sheer inspirational value. Read More > Movies, Avengers 4, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Marvel Entertainment By Dan Van Winkle on Thu,2:27 Nothing goes over Drax's head. Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, David Leitch, Deadpool 2, Morena Baccarin By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,1:43 While Deadpool 2 opened to commercial success and great reviews, Vanessa's storyline in the sequel continues to rankle many viewers. Read More > AMP Featured, TV, Full Frontal, Ivanka Trump, Samantha Bee By Teresa Jusino on Thu,12:45 Samantha Bee's Full Frontal segment last night on the crisis migrant families are dealing with in the face of the Trump administration's heartless immigration policy wasn't entirely about Ivanka Trump. But a scathing closing that highlighted the First Daughter's oblivious hypocrisy sure put a nice button on the whole thing. Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, Avengers: Infinity War, Chris Pratt, Star-Lord By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,12:26 A curious thing happened on the way through 'Avengers: Infinity War': fans were incensed by an emotional decision made by Star-Lord, blaming Peter Quill for his actions instead of the maniac villain who started everything in the first place. Actor Chris Pratt is here to explain his character's motivation—and complain about his reception. Read More > Movies, James Marsden, Paramount, Sonic the Hedgehog By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,12:08 James Marsden has signed on to star in Paramount's upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie. The classic Sega game will be adapted into a live-action/animated hybrid with Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke) directing. Original Films is producing the movie, along with Deadpool director Tim Miller and Toby Ascher. Read More > |
