Movies, nostalgia, Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island By Princess Weekes on Tue,11:13 For anyone looking to update a nostalgic children's series for a new generation (looking at you Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teen Titans, and Thundercats), this is how it's done. Big on the Internet By Kate Gardner on Tue,9:00 The First Purge, which used Trump-ian imagery to market the film, is the first movie in the franchise centered entirely around characters of color, namely black characters, with white characters serving as the villains. Big on the Internet, Thanos, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,6:15 It's been a subject for debate, if you're an Avengers nerd like me, as to whether Thanos' Infinity War Gauntlet snap swept up the family pets (and Bucky's goats in Wakanda) in its genocidal tide. According to Marvel Studios co-president Kevin Feige, this was indeed the case. Big on the Internet, catrina dennis, Chuck Wendig, Star Wars (franchise) By Kate Gardner on Mon,5:55 "There's this sense sometimes, and I've felt it, that 'Wow, Star Wars Fandom is really messed up,' but that's a huge, huge mistake, and it gives these abusers way too much credit. They're really noisy, and it makes it seem like there's this huge division, but really, there's not," author Chuck Wendig told us. News, Immigration, racism By Vivian Kane on Mon,5:02 In these people's eyes, the separation of Hispanic families = valid immigration laws. But entitled white folk being turned away at a border = CENSORSHIP! Big on the Internet, Kylo Ren, rey, reylo, Star Wars (franchise) By Kate Gardner on Mon,3:34 Star Wars ships. Inevitably, someone dies, someone's related to the other person, or they break up because their child decides to go be a space fascist. It's never a good time to fall in love while fighting a rebellion in space. TV, Gilmore Girls, Jess Mariano, Luke Danes By Princess Weekes on Mon,2:47 Now to be fair, I don't think any of the canon couples in Gilmore Girls are good. TV, complicit, Gilead, The Handmaid's Tale By Kate Gardner on Mon,2:33 The women who were complicit in the Sons of Jacob's rise to power are also culpable, especially when they are the ones who created Gilead's archaic and terrifying laws. News, Miss America, sexual misconduct By Vivian Kane on Mon,2:01 It wasn't a funny joke. It wasn't clever or edgy. It relied solely on "punching down," making survivors of sexual assault into the butt of a joke. Movies, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Avengers 4, Avengers: Infinity War By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,1:37 Now that Ant-Man and The Wasp has hit theaters, we can finally yell about that post-credits scene. SPOILERSSS. Big on the Internet, Movies, a quiet place, A24, hereditary By Princess Weekes on Mon,12:39 Saying your film is about something doesn't make it good if your horror movie is neither scary nor character driven in an interesting way. |
