News, donald trump, Whistleblowers By Vivian Kane on Tue,4:32 In a rare move, the Office of the Inspector General Intelligence Community (ICIG) has issued a formal correction of one of Trump's recent lies. Movies, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix By Kate Gardner on Tue,4:17 It's the scariest time of the year, which means that it's the perfect time to binge-watch horror movies. Movies, Birds of Prey, Cathy Yan, Harley Quinn By Princess Weekes on Tue,3:55 The newest trailer for Birds of Prey, starring Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, Chris Messina, Ella Jay Basco, and Ewan McGregor is out, and man is it pretty. Movies, Joker, Todd Phillips By Rachel Leishman on Tue,3:36 It doesn't help that Todd Phillips is sharing the narrative that comedy is basically dead. Why? Because "woke culture" (which is not a thing) makes it so comedians cannot throw derogatory slurs around and call it comedy. News, Botham Jean, Stand Your Ground Laws By Princess Weekes on Tue,3:04 Despite manslaughter and “Castle Doctrine” being allowed to be considered, the former Dallas cop was found guilty of murdering Botham Jean. News, 2020 Presidential election, Elizabeth Warren, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg By Vivian Kane on Tue,1:44 Honestly, is there any better endorsement of a candidate than to hear how threatened they make billionaires feel? Movies, Emperor Palpatine, J.J. Abrams, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker By Kate Gardner on Tue,1:12 One of the biggest surprises from the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker panel was the reveal that Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) was back, though in what capacity remains to be seen. Big on the Internet, Pop Life, Sunny Riot By Rachel Leishman on Tue,12:33 I'm going to be completely honest: I didn't know what was going on, but there was a video of Robert Downey Jr. going around the internet where he talks about how Sunny Riot is to modern music as Kraftwerk was to LCD Soundsystem (my favorite band), so I was just naturally very intrigued. Big on the Internet, Bill Hader, Twitter meme By Rachel Leishman on Tue,12:08 There are some days when you just want to laugh and don't really need a good reason why but here is one: Bill Hader in this cut Saturday Night Live sketch can dance to pretty much any song you want him to. Movies, Batman Returns, Catwoman, Michelle Pfeiffer By Princess Weekes on Tue,11:41 Let a Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman movie be your Logan, Warner Bros. What have you got to lose? Movies, Birds of Prey (film) By Vivian Kane on Mon,5:54 The first trailer for Birds of Prey is dropping tomorrow, but in the meantime, we have four new gorgeous posters to tide us over. TV, LGBTQ Representation, Star Wars (franchise), Star Wars Resistance By Kate Gardner on Mon,5:49 It's been over 40 years, but Star Wars has finally included a gay couple in one of its onscreen properties. Movies, Ned, Peter Parker, Spider-Man: Far From Home By Rachel Leishman on Mon,5:40 Spider-Man: Far From Home has prepared us for the next leg of Spider-Man's journey while also tearing our hearts apart. Peter Parker is going to have a rough go of it in the future, seeing as the entire world thinks he murdered Mysterio, but apparently, his best friend Ned had a moment of shock and awe just like the rest of us. Big on the Internet, Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Shane Gillis By Princess Weekes on Mon,5:21 It is almost as if you don't have to be a terrible person to be a comedian. Imagine that. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Ivanka Trump, Star Wars (franchise), Twitter By Rachel Leishman on Mon,4:59 Maybe don't compare your family to Star Wars, there, Ivanka Trump. AMP Featured, Movies, contributors, Downton Abbey, ITV By Kimberly Terasaki on Mon,4:20 Daisy has, overall, grown into her place at Downton Abbey—so much so that attempts at finding her a love interest in later seasons felt counterintuitive to her "working girl with a found family" character. That's part of what makes her character arc/romantic subplot in the new movie so frustrating. Movies, Elsa, Frozen 2, Idina Menzel By Kate Gardner on Mon,3:46 Hopefully, the soundtrack is overall as excellent as this brief clip was, and we can add another Disney ballad to our karaoke lineup. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Movies, Dragonball Evolution By Princess Weekes on Mon,3:40 I wonder if Disney will just start planting copyright flags on our collective nostalgia at birth. TV, Ben Platt, River, The Politician By Rachel Leishman on Mon,3:04 I guess I should start this off by saying that I have been a reluctant Ryan Murphy stan since I was 11 years-old and so I love The Politician but also have some issues. |
