Comics, Bucky Barnes, winter soldier By Rachel Leishman on Wed,3:48 Bucky Barnes with a child? Fighting crime side by side? Yes, please and thank you! The second issue of Winter Soldier features would-be Winter Soldier RJ and his relentless attack on Bucky, which inevitably fails, because he's the Winter Soldier. Did Hydra really think this child could take on James Buchanan Barnes? Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Wed,3:25 You’ve been saying you’re going to read more since … well, since the last time you made a New Year’s resolution. This year, make it happen—at the Mary Sue Shop, we’ve got subscriptions to Scribd for reduced prices. Pick up a 6-month subscription for $45 or a one-year subscription for $85. Big on the Internet, mental health, mental health awareness By Kate Gardner on Wed,3:10 "If all we do is highlight our highest of highs while being quiet about our lows, we're bound to make the world a lonelier place." Movies, Aliens, Sigourney Weaver, The Predator By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,2:07 Two alternate endings were shot that would have reinvigorated not only the film's ending, but the Alien franchise as well. Movies, Carrie Fisher, Star Wars: Episode IX, Todd Fisher By Princess Weekes on Wed,1:48 Todd Fisher, brother of the late Carrie Fisher, confirms that Episode IX will feature a lot of never-before-seen content featuring Leia Organa. News, Mitt Romney, Republicans By Kate Gardner on Wed,1:31 Mitt Romney, former presidential candidate and incoming U.S. Senator from Utah, has been critical of Donald Trump in the past, and he's taken to The Washington Post to let the president know that he will keep up the tough talk in office, while still just supporting the same Republican party that loves to support Trump and his agenda. Think of it as Romney's audition to be the Senate's new Jeff Flake. Big on the Internet, government shutdown, National Park Service By Vivian Kane on Wed,1:17 Some of the parks, monuments, and historical sites run by the National Park Service have closed or will close soon, once their temporary funding runs out. Many others, though, have remained open, but all but a skeleton staff have been furloughed. Meaning the public can get in, but there's no one there to make sure they don't destroy the place. Which seems to be exactly what they're doing. Movies, Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel (movie), The MCU By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,1:13 Let's be big damn heroes. TV, Doctor Who, recap By Rachel Leishman on Wed,12:22 The Daleks will never leave the Doctor be. Or, at least, that's what we saw on the Doctor Who New Year's Day special, "Resolution." An archeological dig unearths a part of a Dalek after centuries of people trying to keep pieces of it separated across the world. When archeologists Lin and Mitch uncover something they don't understand, they put it under a light, and thus, the Dalek is revived. Movies, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse By Princess Weekes on Wed,12:05 Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is one of the best Spider-Man movies we have ever had, yet it has been trailing behind Aquaman, Mary Poppins Returns and Bumblebee for the past few weeks. Movies, Honest Trailers, symbrock, Venom By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,11:39 The Honest Trailer for 'Venom' delightfully highlights what's bad about the movie—a dumb villainous plan, a bad CGI climactic battle—as well as what's good: Eddie Brock and Venom's storied love affair. TV, contributors, Steven Universe, Steven Universe recap By Vrai Kaiser on Wed,9:49 It's that hellish Thanksgiving where you came out to your horrible extended family. Books, books, Top 10 By Princess Weekes on Tue,6:30 The year 2018 has been a great year for books and even though we could have 50, here are ten books that moved us in this year. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, promo art, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Tue,6:00 I would be remiss in not alerting you to every new detail we are tossed for Avengers: Endgame, because these are the times that we live in, and there are pop quizzes on this constantly. Big on the Internet, 2018, women in entertainment, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Tue,4:00 2018 has been a lot of things. For many women, it's been a year with a lot of collective pain, but there's also been an undeniable amount of growth. Movies, bad times at the el royale, Blindspotting, Destroyer, Eighth Grade, I Tonya, Sorry to Bother You, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse By Rachel Leishman on Tue,3:30 I get it; there are a lot of movies that come out throughout the year. You can't be expected to see all of them, but with 2018 came an entire lineup of great movies that seemingly got passed over, which is unacceptable. |
