| Movies, Elton John, Rocketman, Taron Egerton By Rachel Leishman on Thu,12:43 I'm a lover of movies, and a lot of the time, I find something to love in a movie even if it might not be the best film out there, but lucky for me, there was no need for searching when it came to Rocketman. Read More > News, abortion, domestic violence, Republicans By Vivian Kane on Thu,12:35 McLeod isn't fit for public service–he should not be making any policies (or, really, doing anything at all besides sitting in jail)–but the fact that he was able to cast a vote in favor of heavily regulating women's and other marginalized people's bodies when he has so clearly demonstrated his level of disrespect and even loathing for those bodies, is incredibly disturbing.

Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, Avengers: Infinity War, Sharon Carter, Steve Rogers By Princess Weekes on Thu,11:55 Every time the screenwriters of Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame speak, it's basically up to a coin flip whether it either makes everything better or worse. The reveal that, in early drafts of Infinity War, the characters of Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) and Steve Rogers were living together is just, deeply, deeply amusing. Read More > Movies, Crispin Glover, Taissa Farmiga, We Have Always Lived in the Castle By Rachel Leishman on Thu,11:34 Sometimes you watch a movie and you just have so many questions, and that was We Have Always Lived in the Castle for me. Read More > TV, contributors, Jane the Virgin, The CW By Mae Abdulbaki on Thu,10:28 It’s hard not to be caught up in the telenovela whirlwind that is Jane the Virgin, so charmed by the sweeping romance and staple tropes that it would be easy to miss some of the series’ minor (and few) missteps. While it’s great the show has finally committed to Rafael (Justin Baldoni) being the “true love interest,” it hasn’t had a great track record when it comes to Jane’s friendships with other women. Petra has become a wonderful exception. Read More > AMP Featured, TV, Dacre Montgomery, Netflix, Stranger Things By Kate Gardner on Wed,5:45 Honestly, it doesn't sit too well with me. Read More > Big on the Internet, things we saw today By Princess Weekes on Wed,5:45 The documentary charts the evolution of onscreen queerness, but also demonstrates the extraordinary impact of activism on its many diverse fans, who have made their voices loudly known to ensure that they see themselves accurately portrayed onscreen. Read More > News, immigrant rights, LGBTQ rights, Trump By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,5:36 We're 530 days away from the 2020 presidential election. It might be a good time to triple-check your voter registration. Read More > Movies, Amber Havard, Bull, Rob Morgan By Rachel Leishman on Wed,5:25 A film filled with character flaws and how we, as humans, deal with disappointment, Bull brings to life the importance of making a human connection. Read More > AMP Featured, News, conservatives, meghan mccain By Vivian Kane on Wed,4:51 To Meghan, the problem is never her or her inability to listen to others or make a convincing argument in response to an issue; the problem is always "triggered" liberals who just want to hate on conservative values. How convenient for her. Read More > Big on the Internet, TV, Daenerys Targaryen, Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones, HBO By Princess Weekes on Wed,3:14 Fans and critics alike are still processing the finale of HBO's Game of Thrones and honestly, that might be the greatest thing that showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have done for the franchise: given it a discussion-worthy ending that fans will be talking about for years to come. Still, one aspect that continues to bother me (among many) is the Nazi imagery that was paired with Daenerys Targaryen's speech during the finale. Read More > Movies, Aisling Franciosi, Jennifer Kent, The Nightingale By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,2:38 The Nightingale is the latest installment in a growing sub-genre: the female revenge film directed by women. Read More > Movies, Kylo Ren, star wars theories, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker By Kate Gardner on Wed,2:18 One of the big mysteries in the Star Wars sequel trilogy is who exactly the Knights of Ren are. We hear about them in The Force Awakens when Snoke refers to Kylo as the "master of the Knights of Ren," and they appear briefly in a Force vision that Rey has, but they're noticeably absent from both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. That's not the case in The Rise of Skywalker.
