Movies, LeBron James, Ryan Coogler, Space Jam 2, Terence Nance By Princess Weekes on Thu,11:55 Black nerd culture is resurrecting Space Jam with LeBron James, Ryan Coogler, and Terence Nance, giving the '90s classic a long-awaited sequel. Read More > Movies, Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland By Rachel Leishman on Thu,11:19 Here's the thing about superheroes: Many of them are moody and unpredictable. They're dark because they have to save the world, and it weighs heavily on them, but with Peter Parker, he's just a kid. For someone who was just a kid myself when the first Spider-Man movie came out, I grew up longing to see a Peter Parker that wasn't an adult man pretending to be in high school, and then college. Read More > Big on the Internet, Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker By Dan Van Winkle on Thu,10:05 Change is nothing new to Doctor Who. The show has been running since 1963, and not only have creative teams necessarily changed in that time, but the lead role changing hands when the titular Doctor needs to "regenerate"—changing the character's personality in ways big and small along with it—is a mainstay that helps keep things fresh. Now, it's Jodie Whittaker's turn to take things in a new direction. Read More > Big on the Internet, Bojack Horseman, Mel Gibson, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, sexual misconduct By Vivian Kane on Thu,8:25 Bojack Horseman has always been great at ruthlessly tackling our most sensitive cultural issues with sensitivity as well as fearlessness. This was an especially delicate subject that they managed to tear to all the right shreds. Read More > Big on the Internet, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,6:30 Domhnall Gleeson may play a sneering space fascist in Star Wars, but the actor is the polar opposite of his character. He took so-called "fans" unsparingly to task for their racist and sexist harassment of Kelly Marie Tran. Read More > Movies, Avengers 4, the russo brothers By Dan Van Winkle on Wed,4:37 Captain Marvel is almost here—yes, in her own movie, but also to save everyone's butts (half of everyone, anyway) in Avengers 4. We're all on the lookout for any and all hints about exactly what Infinity War's second half (you can't fool us with that title change) will entail, and no one knows that better than the creative team behind the movie. So, of course, they're teasing us with hints designed to turn us all into conspiracy theorists. Read More > TV, Loki, Marvel Entertainment, pansexuality By Kate Gardner on Wed,3:54 Marvel, for all their successes, has more than a few failings. One of these is that they haven't introduced a canonically LGBT+ character to their franchise, despite saying that they exist. Now, with the coming television shows on their streaming services, they have a chance to right that wrong a little and make a canonically pansexual character pansexual on the small screen. Yes, I'm referring to Loki. Read More > TV, horror, Netflix, The Haunting of Hill House By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,3:17 The trailer for The Haunting of Hill House has dropped, and it's got all of our favorite tropes: creepy kids, a haunted mansion, and stripped-down creepy cover of a popular song (in this case, it's a jangly piano rendition of "Our House" by Crosby, Stills and Young). Read More > News, brett kavanaugh, sexual misconduct By Vivian Kane on Wed,3:07 The question that those choosing not to believe a victim of abuse always throw out is "Why didn't she come forward sooner?" Christine Blasey Ford is a living example of the answer to that question. Read More > Movies, bad times at the el royale, Drew Goddard, speculations By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,2:10 Bad Times at the El Royale is a mysterious movie starring a hotel as well as some extremely attractive and famous people like Chris Hemsworth, Cynthia Erivo, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, and Jeff Bridges. But what on earth is happening? Read More > AMP Featured, Comics, Batman (character), DC Comics, nudity By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,1:23 DC Comics was not messing around when they announced that their new publishing imprint, DC Black Label, would include mature and uncensored content. Read More > Movies, Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, marvel By Rachel Leishman on Wed,12:22 It almost seemed to good to be true! Most of the reactions to the Captain Marvel trailer were positive. No one was really bashing her, and everyone seemed excited. Then, the men came out of the woodwork, telling Carol Danvers to smile more, and don't worry, I've already thrown my laptop multiple times in anger. Read More > Big on the Internet, Bert & Ernie, Frank Oz, Sesame Street By Kate Gardner on Wed,12:14 Yesterday, we found brief joy in this hellscape of a year when it seemingly was confirmed that Bert and Ernie are, in fact, a couple. However, because this is 2018 and we can't have anything nice, the outreach program behind Sesame Street issued a statement about the duo, saying that, essentially, puppets don't have sexualities.
