| Big on the Internet, Tom Holland By Rachel Leishman on Thu,3:30 I love a good Tom Holland Instagram story. Read More > TV, Chris Miller, Phil Lord, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse By Kate Gardner on Thu,3:09 Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who helped bring Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to beautiful life, are hard at work on a "handful" of new live-action shows for Marvel and Sony. Read More > TV, Dan Weiss, David Benioff, Netflix By Princess Weekes on Thu,2:51 There was a bidding war for Benioff and Weiss, with Netflix managing to walk away with the Game of Thrones showrunners. Read More > Movies, Taika Waititi By Rachel Leishman on Thu,2:50 If you haven't taken the journey and watched all of Taika Waititi's films, then let me tell you, you're making every mistake there is in this world. Read More > News, Beto O'Rourke, donald trump, mass shooting By Vivian Kane on Thu,1:26 We knew Trump's condemnations of white supremacy weren't sincere. But honestly, I thought he could have held out longer before backtracking this far. That was naive of me. Read More > News, USWNT, women's soccer, Women's World Cup By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,1:20 Instead of giving the USWNT equal pay, the US Soccer Federation is spending money on lobbyists to argue against the women's team. This is an upsetting yet unsurprising move from the USSF, which has always devalued the USWNT. Read More > TV, Gwyneth Paltrow, Netflix, Ryan Murphy By Rachel Leishman on Thu,1:07 Ryan Murphy has been known to take on President Trump head-on but now, his new show with Gwyneth Paltrow is taking on the entitlement of the Trump era.

Read More > Movies, Guillermo del Toro, movie review, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark By Kate Gardner on Thu,11:49 These stories will be familiar to those who grew up reading Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Now, a new generation will be terrified by these stories onscreen, with director André Øvredal's film of the same name. Øvredal teamed up with horror genius Guillermo del Toro to bring these classics to life, and for the most part he succeeds in making a horror film that can be enjoyed by all audiences.

Read More > AMP Featured, News, Fox & Friends, gun control By Rachel Leishman on Thu,11:28 The problem is the easy accessibility to guns in this country but whatever, go climb a tree or some sh*t. Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, contributors, Spider-Man: Far From Home, The MCU By Kimberly Terasaki on Thu,10:21 Disclaimer: I am not the biggest fan of Tony Stark. Avengers: Endgame was the first movie since Iron Man 3 to make me root for (and cry for) the character. I acknowledge that he is a favorite of many and arguably the main character of the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe, and I personally appreciate the idea of self-betterment that he represented and struggled to fulfill ... which makes his post-mortem actions in Spider-man: Far From Home somewhat difficult for me. Read More > TV, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Lex Luthor, Michael Rosenbaum By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,6:12 Actor Michael Rosenbaum recently Tweeted in response to a story that claimed he would have a cameo role as Lex Luthor in DC's massive CW TV crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths. Rosenbaum debunked the report, saying this was the first he'd heard of it. In what universe or multiverse do you not get Michael Rosenbaum to return as Lex Luthor if you have the chance? Read More > Big on the Internet, City Council, Green Shirt Guy, local politics, politics By Vivian Kane on Wed,6:03 I love this because it's the perfect encapsulation of modern politics. You have two people yelling about facts they don't understand, while everyone around them tries to get away as quickly as possible, either because they don't want to engage or because it's genuinely frightening these days when people start yelling about immigration in public spaces. Read More > TV, Fleabag, Phoebe Waller-Bridge By Rachel Leishman on Wed,5:45 At least on November 5th, we'll get the book version of the show, and I can cry over Fleabag and the Hot Priest all over again! Read More > TV, Rocko's Modern Life, Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, trans representation By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,5:31 Netflix is bringing back cult 90s cartoon Rocko's Modern Life for a movie, Static Cling. The film will feature a trans storyline. It's a fitting addition for Rocko's Modern Life, which was always an envelope-pushing show that never shied away from deeper themes. Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Rocket Raccoon By Rachel Leishman on Wed,5:19 You're telling me that among all those minds, those who have been at the forefront of advancement in science and technology, the one who rises to the top is ... Rocket Raccoon? Read More > Movies, found footage, horror movies, The Blair Witch Project By Kate Gardner on Wed,5:13 Twenty years ago, audiences were chilled to the bone with The Blair Witch Project. The since parodied and often imitated film launched the found footage horror genre, spawned two sequels and an upcoming video game, and earned a place in the horror canon. Read More > Comics, Marvel Comics, X-Men By Princess Weekes on Wed,5:00 It was promised that House of X would be an X-Men event that would have one of the most important scenes in the history of the franchise. With that kind of promise, it's hard to imagine what the payoff could be, but issue #2 did drop a massive bombshell. Read More > News, Beto O'Rourke, donald trump, mass shooting By Vivian Kane on Wed,4:57 It's no wonder why he doesn't understand Beto's anger and assumes the issue is all about ratings envy and polls. Those are the only things that matter to Trump. Read More > |
