Movies, Disney, Eoin Colfer, Kenneth Branagh By Princess Weekes on Mon,1:03 When a company spends money on the rights for a book series, you would assume that they believe in the premise of the book—that they want to adapt at least 75-80% of the book, not "Let's just make an entirely new movie and just slap a familiar title on it." Sadly, that is exactly what Disney did in their adaptation of Artemis Fowl. Movies, #OscarsSoWhite, 2021 Oscars, The Oscars By Jessica Mason on Mon,12:58 The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is making some big changes when it comes to inclusion and supporting more diverse films. Big on the Internet, Twitter, Twitter meme By Rachel Leishman on Mon,12:13 Out of all the fictional characters out there in the world, who do you identify with, and who are you actually? TV, Gilmore Girls, HBO, Insecure By Princess Weekes on Mon,11:23 Last night's episode of Insecure was the season finale, and that meant it couldn't end without giving us a dramatic kick in the chest that left us clamoring for season 5. News, LGBTQ rights, Title VII, U.S. Supreme Court By Jessica Mason on Mon,11:23 In a monumental and surprising ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that it is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights act to fire someone for their sexual orientation or because they are transgender. News, contributors, reproductive rights By Kylie Cheung on Mon,10:01 Interestingly, some of the most high-profile “pro-lifers” in the country—from Ted Cruz, to Donald Trump, to other leading anti-choice activists—are vehemently denouncing “violent” anti-police protesters. I say “interestingly” because, if you want to complain about violent protesters, those protesting reproductive health and abortion clinics are a good place to start. Big on the Internet, Atlanta, police brutality, things we saw today By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,6:05 On Friday, an Atlanta police officer shot and killed 27 year old Rayshard Brooks at a Wendy's drive-thru. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Matt Gaetz, Ron Perlman, Twitter By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,4:58 It must really chafe conservatives to know that the vast majority of Hollywood despises them. Movies, celebrity apologies, Spike Lee, Woody Allen By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,3:08 It's a bummer, because Spike Lee is one of the most talented directors of his generation, and Da 5 Bloods has been getting excellent reviews. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, health, Trump, Twitter meme By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,12:34 There is something wrong with Donald Trump. Big on the Internet, DC Comics, Denny O'Neil, things we saw today By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,5:58 How's your Saturday going, Mary Suevians? Big on the Internet, Comic-Con@Home, San Diego Comic-Con, sdcc By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,4:54 Who do you want to see at Comic-Con@Home? Big on the Internet, diversity, Killing Eve, writers By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,3:32 We expected more from a female-driven deeply queer feminist series with an Asian lead. News, transgender rights, transphobia, Trump By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,12:45 Trans rights are human rights. Comics, Black Lives Matter, police brutality, racism By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,6:01 This stunning and unflinching comics anthology should be required reading. Movies, Cherry, things we saw today, Tom Holland By Rachel Leishman on Fri,5:34 Tom Holland fans: REJOICE! Big on the Internet, confederacy, racism, Twitter memes By Jessica Mason on Fri,5:04 Twitter is highlighting the many things that lasted longer than the defeated Confederacy. Big on the Internet, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:34 I guess my point is that none of this should be surprising, and I keep seeing people suddenly shocked that Springsteen or McCartney or Dylan are speaking out. Actually, it shouldn't surprise me, because people don't like to do their own research and look into the people they're listening to—or think at all about the meaning of the lyrics they're singing along to, I guess. Comics, comics, Iron Man, Marvel Entertainment By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:38 I'm excited to see where this new series will take us, especially because it feels as if it's my favorite kind of Tony story (where he puts his own ego to the side to realize he has to do the right thing) but getting to see Halt and Catch Fire writer Christopher Cantwell take on the Stark Industries heir is going to be fascinating. Gaming, Insomniac Games, Miles Morales, Sony, Spider-Man By Princess Weekes on Fri,3:24 Less than 24 hours ago, we received the trailer of the upcoming Spider-Man game for the PlayStation 5, starring Miles Morales. Yet, when I woke up this morning, it had been said that the game was an expansion to a remastered, PS5 version of the PS4 Spider-Man game, and now, some are saying it's something different. Sony, what is the truth? |
