Gaming, fighting games, Steam, writers By Julia Glassman on Sun,5:38 'Write 'N' Fight' lets you choose your favorite (white, male) writer from the literary canon, and use them to beat your least favorite writer to a pulp. TV, Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, The Sandman (Netflix) By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,5:29 Many consider Netflix’s The Sandman to be one of the best adaptations of creator Neil Gaiman’s work.

Big on the Internet, Dan Lin, DC Entertainment, things we saw today, Warner Bros. By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,6:09 Lin is still in negotiations to take on the role, and it's unclear which projects he'll keep and which will get cut from the slate. If hired, he will be in charge of not only DC's films but their television offerings as well. DC has long needed a guiding hand, and Lin just may be the one to do it.

Anime, berserk, Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, Kill la Kill, Naruto, villains By Jack Doyle on Fri,5:50 Everybody loves a villain. It's true. Deny it all you want, but a good villain is what makes a good story. Movies, Gina Carano, My Son Hunter By Rachel Leishman on Fri,5:33 So really, what you're doing with this genre choice is...making your largely Republican and conservative (not to mention Trumpian) audience...relate to the Biden administration and Hunter and Joe Biden? If that's your goal, more power to you. If not, well, then you're making a movie that fundamentally misunderstands the genre that it is functioning in. Movies, Hollywood, movies, the gender pay gap By Rachel Ulatowski on Fri,4:44 The gender pay gap in the United States is a prevalent problem that extends to nearly every occupation. However, the pay gap is especially noticeable in Hollywood, where women often earn less than their male co-stars for similar screen time. Here are 8 of the biggest Hollywood gender pay gaps.

Anime, Attack on Titan, Cowboy Bebop, flcl, Kill la Kill, Mushishi, music, Naruto, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Samurai Champloo, soundtrack By Jack Doyle on Fri,4:08 The kind of music you'll want to listen to, in order to decompress, after stabbing your father's killer to death.

Movies, Fantastic Four, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Matt Shakman By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:06 Until anything is set in stone, I'm excited for Shakman and I think he'll do a great job with the tone of the team. I just hope he also keeps doing Star Trek 4.

Gaming, Horses, video games By Madeline Carpou on Fri,3:18 I had a veritable interest in the most maligned animal in pop culture: the horse. Yes, I was a "horse girl." I loved those things more than life itself, and since horses were often too expensive to even daydream about, I would have been adrift in the Wasteland of No-Horses-Having if it weren't for the Horse Game market designed to play on just exactly that fact.
