Big on the Internet, Bob's Burgers, Disney, Nimona By Vivian Kane on Tue,5:45 Hidden between the blockbusters there were a few extremely exciting Disney gems. Movies, It: Chapter 2, pennywise, Stephen King By Kate Gardner on Tue,5:27 The trailer for the highly anticipated horror film, IT: Chapter Two, drops on Thursday, according to the king of horror himself Stephen King. Big on the Internet, Brie Larson, internet, sexism By Rachel Leishman on Tue,5:09 Look, I get it. Not everyone has to like Brie Larson but I'm just tired of everyone making her out to be this uber 'bitch' because they don't like having a woman forefronting the next wave of the MCU. Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Tue,4:47 A great trip starts with a packing and travel experience that doesn't make you want to scream. We've got you covered—shop these luggage deals and save up to 39% off organizational life-savers at the Mary Sue Shop. TV, clara oswald, Doctor Who, Jenna Coleman By Rachel Leishman on Tue,4:29 I come from a select group of fans who do, in fact, like Clara Oswald. A character who was dedicated to the Doctor but more so her career, Clara gave determined women someone to look up to. Movies, Akira, anime, Tetsuo Shima By Princess Weekes on Tue,4:13 As someone who is mentally ill and deals with it sometimes in macabre ways, I am sensitive to the idea that not everyone can deal with their illness in that way. Mental illness and “madness”™ are recurring themes in stories about a good person going bad because of “one bad day.” So I wanted to examine one movie that I feel did handle that trope well. Movies, Richard Madden, The Eternals By Kate Gardner on Tue,3:57 Variety is reporting that Richard Madden, famous for both Game of Thrones and Bodyguard, is in talks to play Ikaris in Marvel's The Eternals. News, abortion, anti-choice, Georgia By Vivian Kane on Tue,3:53 Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a devastating bill into law today, outlawing abortions after a fetal "heartbeat" is detected, which usually occurs around the six-week mark. That's long before many women even know they're pregnant, meaning this law effectively outlaws pretty much all abortion—which was, obviously, the plan. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Bucky Barnes, the russo brothers By Rachel Leishman on Tue,3:33 Okay well, the Russo brothers are sort of right about the MCU's version of Bucky Barnes, but also very wrong in their delivery. Movies, Brie Larson, Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers By Princess Weekes on Tue,2:50 It took almost two months and a whole other Marvel movie beforehand, but I finally saw Captain Marvel after all the hype, backlash, and think-pieces and I found it to be pretty damn enjoyable. Movies, All Is True, interview, Kenneth Branagh By Rachel Leishman on Tue,2:29 To be completely candid, I could have talked to Kenneth Branagh for hours about both Shakespeare and Marvel, and it would have been a completely wonderful way to go. News, Congress, donald trump, Taxes By Vivian Kane on Tue,2:15 Mnuchin's refusal to comply with the congressional demand for Trump's tax returns has inspired a number of trending hashtags, including #ArrestMnuchin and #LockMnuchinUp, both of which are sentiments I can get onboard with. AMP Featured, Movies, Disney, Star Wars (franchise), The MCU By Kate Gardner on Tue,1:50 Stop the presses and run to your favorite entertainment site: Disney has released their current slate of films, including the future of the Avatar and Star Wars franchises. TV, British History, Starz, The Spanish Princess By Princess Weekes on Tue,1:41 Another game of thrones took place Sunday, and it was on Starz, with the premiere of The Spanish Princess as we follow the journey of Catherine of Aragon to become Queen of England. Movies, Darth Maul, Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace By Kate Gardner on Tue,1:05 This month marks 20 years of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. This means we've had 20 years of one of Star Wars' best villains, though arguably, he didn't come into full iconic form until much later. Gaming, #MeToo Movement, Riot Games, sexual harassment By Princess Weekes on Tue,11:41 Yesterday, the employees of Los Angeles-based Riot Games organized a walkout to protest the company’s stance on forced arbitration, as Kotaku reported with live updates. Movies, howard stark, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark By Rachel Leishman on Tue,11:17 From the dawning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark had a complicated relationship with his father. Howard Stark was, for lack of a better phrase, a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist—all traits his son picked up from him. TV, contributors, Lucifer, Netflix By Jessica Mason on Tue,10:50 Lucifer season four is streamlined and full of emotional highs and hysterical beats that take advantage of the lack of network TV rules at its new home on Netflix. It’s basically the show you love, trimmed down and with 200% more toned butts, but aside from the partial nudity, the biggest addition to this season is Inbar Lavi as the first woman, Eve herself. Lavi took some time to chat with The Mary Sue about joining the show and playing the original sinner. TV, Busy Philipps, Busy Tonight, things we saw today By Rachel Leishman on Mon,6:02 A wonderful late night talk show that actually features a woman behind the desk? This was revolutionary when the weekly dose of Samantha Bee was all we had to live on. But now it seems that that revolutionary moment has come to an end. Busy Tonight, Busy Philipps' engaging talk show that was featured on E!, has been canceled. Movies, Avengers: Endgame By Kate Gardner on Mon,5:48 Apparently, we weren't always in the Endgame |
