| Movies, adaptations, books, movies By Princess Weekes on Wed,11:02 We are too hard on film adaptations—sometimes they are better or equal to their print counterparts. Here are some we think make the mark. Read More > Movies, Disney, Disney princesses, Frozen 2 By Veronica Walsingham on Wed,10:57 Disney princesses, it seems, are often getting sequels, but they don't make it to theaters for some reason—except Anna and Elsa. Read More > Big on the Internet, Alex Jones, First Amendment By Vivian Kane on Wed,8:25 More and more companies are banning Alex Jones from using their platforms to spew his hateful conspiracy theories and racist and antisemitic drivel. Facebook, Apple, Spotify, and YouTube have all removed Jones' content from their sites. If you've spent any time at all on the internet, you can probably guess what that means. Yup, a lot of misinformed conservative supporters yelling about "freedom of speech."

Read More > Movies, Birds of Prey, Black Mask, Margot Robbie By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,5:42 Warner Bros. has announced that the villain of the upcoming Birds of Prey movie will be Black Mask. Black Mask (or as Princess Weekes calls him, "Red Skull's cousin") is the alias of Roman Sionis, a sadistic kingpin in Gotham's crime-ridden city with a penchant for kittens. Did I say kittens? Just kidding, I meant black masks.

In terms of believability, it comes in just barely ahead of "the Ambien made me racist." The FCC's claim that a cyber attack was responsible for bringing down the agency's public comment system, while they were taking comments on their wildly unpopular plan to roll back net neutrality rules in May 2018, ranked just behind that.

Read More > AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Carrie Fisher, donald trump, Hollywood Walk of Fame By Vivian Kane on Tue,3:09 The West Hollywood City Council has passed a resolution asking the city of Los Angeles to remove Trump's star permanently. They say this has nothing to do with the fact that Trump is a Republican—after all, no one is smashing up Ronald Regan or Arnold Schwarzenegger's stars–but because having a star on the Walk of Fame is a privilege, and one that Trump has proven he doesn't deserve.

Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, adaptations, Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling By Princess Weekes on Tue,1:20 In my youth, I remember being so excited about the Harry Potter movies, from the casting news to running out to see each movie on opening day, it was an important piece of my childhood—especially when we were waiting for the later books to come out. However, it was when I went to go see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in theaters that the most disturbing thing happened ... I fell asleep during the movie.
