Big on the Internet, criticism, Olivia Munn By Vivian Kane on Thu,1:34 I don't know what newsletter all the celebrities subscribe to that declared this to be the week they were all going to attack critics, but that's what's happening. Especially in the case of Olivia Munn's misdirected rant at the Fug Girls. Read More > Movies, Robert De Niro, Tribeca Film Festival By Princess Weekes on Thu,1:16 The Tribeca Film Festival kicked off yesterday, and its cofounders, Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, were photographed at a lunch together at a table with only white men seated with them, save Rosenthal herself. Read More > Movies, Detective Pikachu By Kate Gardner on Thu,12:54 The first reviews for Detective Pikachu are in, and it seems as though the video game movie curse is broken. Read More > Movies, Chris Hemsworth, Men In Black International, Tessa Thompson By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,12:38 The fourth film in the MIB franchise capitalizes on the playful banter that made the duo so much fun as Thor and Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok. Read More > Big on the Internet, Dictionary, fan culture, fandom, Merriam-Webster By Rachel Leishman on Thu,12:21 Okay, so at first, I was filled with excitement over the word "stan" finally being included in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. But then the tweets started and the actual definition came out and I can't handle the amount of misinformation coming out about the word. Read More > Movies, 21st Century Fox/Disney Merger By Princess Weekes on Thu,12:07 When Disney closed its $71.3 billion acquisition of Fox assets on March 20, it was expected that, in addition to the gaining of so many properties like the X-Men franchise and Deadpool, it would also mean that there would be something lost in the process, and that has come on the employee and creative side of things. We've already seen a massive loss of jobs, but now, things are also being cut on the creative end. Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Out of context spoilers, Twitter By Rachel Leishman on Thu,11:28 It's my favorite time of year! I love "Out of context spoilers" because they're hilarious if you've seen 'Avengers: Endgame,' and if not, you're constantly asking yourself what these things mean. Read More > TV, contributors, Killing Eve, women in television By Lacy Baugher on Thu,10:50 BBC America’s Killing Eve is the sort of show that loves to subvert viewers’ expectations. Not only has the series gender-swapped the traditional cat and mouse procedural into something entirely new and different, it also fully embraces the that female villains can be just as compelling as their male counterparts. Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Chris Hemsworth, Thor By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,6:30 I think it's important to talk about one unsettling aspect of characterization that occurs in 'Avengers: Endgame' (I won't reveal plot specifics). Read More > News, 2020 Presidential election, male privilege, The Daily Show, Trevor Noah By Vivian Kane on Wed,6:18 "You have to admit, running for president as a man is so much more fun because as a woman, you have to bring extra homework," said Noah. "Elizabeth Warren calculated 2 cents on every dollar over 50 million. Kamala is breaking down the statistics on maternal mortality as relates to race and class. But a dude can come and be like, ‘Yeah, I’m just going to wing it.'" Read More > Movies, John Boyega, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, things we saw today By Kate Gardner on Wed,5:49 This December, it won't be just Luke and Leia who we bid farewell too. It seems as though this will also be the swan song for Rey, Finn, and Poe, or at least it will be if we take recent comments from John Boyega at face value. Read More > Movies, contributors, Disney, Hercules By Emily Corwin on Wed,5:47 With the recent news announcing that The Hunchback of Notre Dame will get a live-action makeover (and Lady and the Tramp, as well, through the impending Disney+ streaming service), I'm starting to worry that you will go there, Disney. So, I'm asking now: Please, just leave it alone. Do not make my favorite movie into a live-action adaptation. Read More > AMP Featured, Comics, Heroes in Crisis, Tom King By Princess Weekes on Wed,5:47 Big news in comics right now is that the person responsible for killing several heroes within the Heroes in Crisis DC Comics series by Tom King has been revealed, and some people are not happy about who the killer was. Read More > Movies, nerd culture, Rocket Raccoon, Wonder Woman By Rachel Leishman on Wed,5:23 And this hurts me to write because Rocket Raccoon is one of my favorite characters.

That’s why we’ve rounded up five of our favorite products and tools to help you channel your inner animator and get you on your way to making your own Pixar short. Read More > TV, Good Girls, LGBTQ Representation, trans representation By Vivian Kane on Wed,5:06 Not only did the show do justice to Sadie's coming out, but there is a young trans character being played by a trans actor on network television. That's truly groundbreaking. Read More > TV, Alfred Pennyworth By Kate Gardner on Wed,4:26 A spin-off about the backstory of Bruce Wayne's loyal butler Alfred called 'Pennyworth'? Now that's just a bit too bizarre, no matter how fun it looks.
