TV, I Love Lucy, Lucille Ball, women in television By Jessica Mason on Thu,3:58 Without the incomparable Lucille Ball, the world would look very different, and it certainly wouldn't be as funny. Movies, Blade Runner, Ridley Scott By Rachel Leishman on Thu,2:49 Is Blade Runner just going to continue to be a movie that we all fight about and try to either tear apart or defend rather than just watch and comment on? Probably, because it's been out since 1982 and we're still doing it, but I would love for people to be able to comment on the movie, no matter how they feel about it, without everyone else getting up in arms or fighting about it. Movies, Bill & Ted, Bill & Ted Face the Music By Rachel Leishman on Thu,2:14 It's a weirdly a perfect time for another Bill & Ted movie. News, John Roberts, Mike Pence, U.S. Supreme Court By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,1:13 And since immigrants, abortion, and queer folks are Mike Pence's greatest fears (second of course to being alone in a room with a woman), he was naturally very upset about the landmark cases. News, National Rifle Association, new york attorney general, NRA, Wayne LaPierre By Jessica Mason on Thu,1:12 New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office has filed a lawsuit New York State court to dissolve the National Rifle Association and seek restitution from the leadership who used the NRA as "a personal piggybank." TV, High Fidelity, Hulu, Zoë Kravitz By Princess Weekes on Thu,1:02 Hulu’s High Fidelity may have been another installment in the “we didn’t really need this” reboot train, but it was still a good show with great reviews and great performances from Zoë Kravitz, who proved she could deliver outside of her usual emotional range. Yet, it was not picked up for a second season. News, Coronavirus, donald trump, Twitter By Vivian Kane on Thu,12:53 The site won't remove Trump's lies about COVID-19, but they have now started removing tweets from journalists quoting those lies. Movies, Captain Marvel (movie), Monica Rambeau, Nia DaCosta By Princess Weekes on Thu,11:29 Basically, this movie is about to become a Nia DaCosta joint, and that’s one of the best things it could possibly be. Now it has the potential to be just daring enough to be truly good. TV, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Supernatural By Jessica Mason on Thu,11:14 Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and the rest of the cast of Supernatural are ready to restart production. TV, contributors, The Great (Hulu) By Alicia Banaszewski on Thu,10:35 Here are some reads to enjoy while we wait for another deliciously dark season of The Great. Big on the Internet, Naps, Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok By Rachel Leishman on Wed,6:18 Taika Waititi is back on set and back to napping (safely), and it is truly a sight to behold. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, COVID-19, Doctors, school By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,5:50 Dr. Pritesh Gandhi warns that America is not by any means prepared to reopen schools, and anyone who claims otherwise is saying so "either out of ignorance or arrogance."

Big on the Internet, donald trump, HBO, Jonathan Swan By Rachel Leishman on Wed,4:16 2020 is terrifying for a great number of reasons, most of them having to do with President Donald J. Trump. So, things like this interview, where we end up with a hilarious meme, just give us little tiny bits of joy in the midst of the madness, and honestly, whatever. I'll take my moments of laughter where I can get them. Movies, colorism, Nina Simone, Zoe Saldana By Princess Weekes on Wed,3:29 Actress Zoe Saldana has spoken about her regrets about playing legendary Black American singer Nina Simone, a role in which she infamously darkened her skin and wore a fake nose to attempt to resemble the artist. The apology, while tear-filled, managed to avoid addressing one very important thing: colorism.
