| News, Milo Yiannopoulos, richard spencer, white nationalism By Vivian Kane on Mon,1:26 Richard Spencer wanted to legitimize a violent movement by giving it a polite, clean-cut face and it's absolutely shameful how well his grift worked on a national scale. Read More > TV, Michael Che, Saturday Night Live By Rachel Leishman on Mon,1:09 What's sad is that this is not even the worst thing that Michael Che has ever said. Read More > Books, Sponsored, Michael Sheen, Philip Pullman, The Secret Commonwealth By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,12:36 Let Michael Sheen be your guide back into the world of His Dark Materials with Philip Pullman's #1 Bestseller 'The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth.' Read More > News, government shutdown, impeachment, Trump By Brittany Knupper on Mon,12:15 Welp. He's at it again. Trump gave another bonkers press conference on the White House lawn Sunday afternoon. Read More > Movies, Booksmart, Olivia Wilde, Rocketman By Princess Weekes on Mon,11:59 Delta was named as one of the offending companies showing in-flight movies with same-sex love scenes edited out. Read More > Big on the Internet, contributors, Zombieland, Zombieland: Double Tap By Stefania Sarrubba on Mon,11:56 Ten years in, this bunch of Oscar winners and nominees reprised their roles for a second installment. Let’s face it, ten years is a really ambitious time frame for any sequel, let alone a movie like Zombieland that might not have aged as gracefully as we would hope. You would think that a decade is enough to acknowledge the film’s faults and keep its best elements to create an original, refreshing, and interesting sequel. Think again. Read More > Movies, David Ayer, Harley Quinn, Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. By Princess Weekes on Mon,10:54 Director David Ayer drops hints that Suicide Squad was originally supposed to be a really different movie for Harley Quinn. Read More > Big on the Internet, Rian Johnson, Twitter, tws By Brittany Knupper on Sun,6:00 Director of The Last Jedi and the upcoming Knives Out - Rian Johnson spoke at Deadline's The Contender: Los Angeles yesterday about dealing with Twitter hate and the potential for continued collaboration with Lucasfilm. Read More > Movies, feminism, Sarah Connor, Terminator: Dark Fate By Brittany Knupper on Sun,4:25 I need to be upfront and say that Terminator: Dark Fate is not a very good movie. In fact, it's actually pretty bad. BUT! It is fun (in the way that bad action films are fun), and it provides us with a really important thing to examine - namely an action film centered around three badass women of varying ages kicking all kinds of butt. So what I am here to present you with is not so much a review, but rather a feminist reading of Terminator: Dark Fate. Read More > AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Christmas, Lizzo, music By Brittany Knupper on Sun,2:00 Lizzo just dropped a Christmas song on us! That's right! The holiday season is upon us, and while some of us have to mentally prepare ourselves for the exhaustion of hearing George Michael's "Last Christmas" (a song that I hate with the fiery passion of a million suns thanks to my time working retail), others revel in the fact they can now sing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" at the top of their lungs. Read More > TV, Great British Bake-Off, Netflix, Noel Fielding By Brittany Knupper on Sun,12:56 The latest season of The Great British Bake Off aired it's finale Friday on Netflix. And while it was a rather underwhelming season (possibly partially due to rumors that the bakers selected to compete were cake decorators with large Instagram followings rather than actual home bakers), with each technical challenge more disastrous than last, each week provided a healthy dose of my new favorite part of the show - Noel Fielding's tops. Read More > Big on the Internet, donald trump, politics, UFC By Brittany Knupper on Sun,11:00 That’s right! Trump was booed AGAIN last night while attending the UFC championship match held at Madison Square Garden. He was seated next to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Congressman Mark Meadows, Congressman Peter King, and his monster babies Don Jr and Eric. Read More > Big on the Internet, BuzzFeed, Robert Mueller, tws By Brittany Knupper on Sat,6:00 Buzzfeed announced today, that they sued the US government in order to see all of the work from Mueller's team that up until now had been kept secret. They published the first hundred or so pages of documents, transcripts, and memos today, with plans to release the more in monthly installments for the next several years. Read More > News, HHS, LGBTQ issues, transgender By Brittany Knupper on Sat,4:00 In the continuing saga of everything being terrible, especially the Trump administration, they announced today that they would be abandoning civil rights rules for organizations receiving billions in taxpayer dollars. The Trump Administration - inept at building walls, but also entirely too competent at dismantling necessary institutions and government protections for those who need it most. Read More > News, border wall, donald trump, politics By Brittany Knupper on Sat,2:30 Despite Trump’s persistent claims, (most recently at his rally last night in Mississippi), that his border wall will be impenetrable, smuggling gangs in Mexico have repeatedly, and quite easily, sawed through the new sections in recent months using commercially available power tools according to a report by the Washington Post this morning. I for one, am simply, utterly *SHOCKED.* Shocked, I say! Read More > Movies, Martin Scorsese, movie review, The Irishman By Brittany Knupper on Sat,12:52 Hot off of a controversial press tour, Scorsese’s gangster epic The Irishman is having a limited theatrical run before heading to Netflix on November 27th, 2019. Running a staggering three and a half hours, and covering a span of almost fifty years, it truly feels like this is Scorsese’s final word, (his final will and testament) on the mafia culture that he has dedicated large portions of his extensive filmmaking career to. Read More > Movies, sequel, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse By Brittany Knupper on Sat,8:00 On Friday afternoon, Sony announced via Twitter that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 is happening and hitting screens on April 8, 2022. This is huge nerds for fans of the first film, which shattered all expectations and took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. The ground-breaking and unique animation style blew audiences (and me, particularly me) away, and fans have been clamoring for news of a sequel - well now we have it! Read More > Big on the Internet, Liev Schreiber, Sebastian Stan, Taylor Kitsch By Rachel Leishman on Fri,5:45 To be honest, it is a smart way of raising money for cancer research and gets fans to come out to see some of their favorite stars all knowing they're supporting cancer research. It also helps when you get Taylor Kitsch on ice. Read More > Books, The Mary Sue Book Club By Princess Weekes on Fri,5:30 How did it become November already? Turkey month is the perfect time to tell your parents that you have to read this romance/sci-fi/ya novel for school because you study the humanities and that's just the way it is. Read More > AMP Featured, News, Katie Hill, Matt Gaetz, Nancy Pelosi, online harassment By Vivian Kane on Fri,4:48 I don't feel comfortable siding with terrible and obnoxious Florida Republican Matt Gaetz over Pelosi about anything.
