TV, D.B Weiss, David Benioff, Game of Thrones By Rachel Leishman on Thu,1:57 There's a difference between having scheduling conflicts that prevent you from attending something and waiting until the last minute to announce that you're not going to attend the biggest convention in the world. Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Thu,1:47 You're the go-to DJ at every party. Your coworkers give you full reign of the playlist. You've been making killer mixtapes ever since you used actual tapes. Now, take your skills to the next level with these deals on courses and gear for aspiring DJs and music producers, and just plain audiophiles. Movies, Constance Wu, Hustlers, jennifer lopez By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,1:26 Hustlers also shows promise as yet another film in the burgeoning trend of female-driven crime films. News, donald trump, fascism By Vivian Kane on Thu,1:10 At a campaign rally in North Carolina last night, Donald Trump and his supporters found a new enemy. The usual chants of "lock her up!"–because nearly three years after being elected, Trump still hasn't given up his love of vilifying Hillary Clinton–were replaced with "send her back!" Movies, It Chapter Two, Jessica Chastain, pennywise By Kate Gardner on Thu,12:48 Pennywise is back, and so are the Losers in IT Chapter Two, the haunting conclusion to the horror series that began in 2017 and is based on the Stephen King classic. AMP Featured, News, anime, Japan, Kyoto Animation By Princess Weekes on Thu,12:47 In heartbreaking and appalling news, an arson attack on Kyoto Animation in Japan took place this Thursday morning and led to at least 33 fatalities and left many more injured. TV, Disney, James Rhodes, War Machine By Rachel Leishman on Thu,12:42 The rumor hit Twitter, and fans instantly started to speculate what a War Machine show would even entail, and I need it now. Movies, Quentin Tarantino, Simon Pegg, Star Trek (franchise) By Kate Gardner on Thu,12:34 Look, I know you're tired of us covering the rumored Quentin Tarantino directed Star Trek movie with tones that range from disgust to disbelief, but every time we hear more about this film, it's not good. Movies, Midsommar By Rachel Leishman on Thu,11:43 I liked Midsommar for what it was: A weird tale that left me in my seat laughing and confused TV, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, CBS All Access, Star Trek: Picard By Kate Gardner on Thu,11:39 The much-hyped but very secretive series on CBS All Access will follow one of Starfleet's most beloved captains, Jean-Luc Picard, as he deals with a new and unfamiliar world. AMP Featured, TV, contributors, The Handmaid's Tale By Sara Hosey on Thu,10:44 Although there was really no good reason for a third season of Hulu's The Handmaid’s Tale (I tend to agree with those who thought the second season was excessive and exploitative), I’m so glad that I decided to check it out. Last week’s episode, “Unfit,” took a smart, startling, topical turn, exploring how the bullied become bullies and how many women, having internalized patriarchal contempt, can come to understand the subordination of other women as a means to survival. TV, Dominique Jackson, FX, Mj Rodriguez, Pose By Princess Weekes on Thu,10:42 Mj Rodriguez is the heart of Pose and deserves some recognition for playing one of television's best on-screen mothers. TV, Katie McGrath, Melissa Benoist, Supergirl (character) By Princess Weekes on Thu,10:36 Last season on 'Supergirl,' Lena Luthor found out that her best friend Kara Danvers was Supergirl. Now season five will be handling the fallout of that reveal. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, marvel studios, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,6:00 As we head toward Avengers: Endgame's digital and Blu-ray release dates, behind-the-scenes features have made their way online.

News, sexism, women in journalism By Vivian Kane on Wed,5:36 Last week, Mississippi reporter Larrison Campbell revealed that state rep. Robert Foster, who is currently running for Governor, refused to allow her to accompany him on a campaign trip unless she brought along a male colleague. But Foster isn't the only Republican in his state to exclude women in that way–he's not even the only Republican in that race to do so. TV, Blake Lively, Gossip Girl, HBO Max, The CW By Princess Weekes on Wed,5:22 A new generation of New York private school students are about to be stalked by a malevolent person who exposes their deepest darkest secrets and insecurities. Yay? AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Chris Evans, donald trump By Rachel Leishman on Wed,4:48 There are worse jobs than scrolling through Chris Evans' Twitter account, honestly. Movies, DCEU, Honest Trailers, Shazam By Kate Gardner on Wed,4:33 Naturally, because the internet is going to internet, Honest Trailers has turned their eyes to this particular film, and while I think some of the comments are a little unjustified, it's a funny video overall. Movies, Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. By Rachel Leishman on Wed,4:01 The new footage of Downey's screentest comes with interviews and commentary on the Avengers: Endgame home release, and it's fun to see everyone talking about the dawning of Tony Stark. AMP Featured, Books, Cho Chang, Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling By Princess Weekes on Wed,3:37 Despite how disappointing the Harry Potter universe has been since the series ended and J.K. Rowling's word vomit about things, it is still one of the best things about the books is going back to them and realizing how my opinions have changed. One of the characters I've come to really appreciate is Cho Chang. |
