News, donald trump, Hurricane Dorian, racism By Vivian Kane on Tue,1:59 The CBP said the refusal of these evacuees was due to "confusion" on the part of the ferry operator and Florida Senator Marco Rubio blamed the shipping company, saying they "didn’t coordinate a pre-screening & then didn’t want to wait for one." Donald Trump, though, said Monday that there are "very bad people" trying to use the storm to sneak into the country. Movies, Cats (movie) By Rachel Leishman on Tue,1:27 I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to judging a movie before it comes out, but I feel like it's okay that I'm preemptively judging Cats. TV, Euphoria, HBO By Princess Weekes on Tue,12:52 Euphoria has a lot of issues, but it is also on the pulse of something dark and real about our reality, especially when it comes to sex. Big on the Internet, fan culture, fandom, The New Yorker By Kate Gardner on Tue,12:10 Yesterday, the New Yorker ran a piece on fandom culture that, while not being particularly offensive, reads like it time traveled from the early 2000s even with references to Game of Thrones and social media. Big on the Internet, Hasbro, Ms. Monopoly By Rachel Leishman on Tue,11:54 At the end of the day, it's a board game. Who plays by normal Monopoly rules anyway? I couldn't tell you what the houses or hotels mean. All I know is that I'm a cheap bitch when I play, but now, with Ms. Monopoly, I'm going to wipe the board with the tears of my brothers. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, contributors, Fleabag, theater By Stefania Sarrubba on Tue,10:12 Ferociously funny, fierce and filthy, Fleabag has gone back to its roots, right there where it all started in 2013: the theater stage. Earlier this year, creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge announced she was going to perform her award-winning one-woman show for the very last time. A limited run in London’s West End after her New York run in March, needless to say, it sold out immediately. Fleabag generated a collective frenzy, and rightfully so. TV, Hailee Steinfeld, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop By Rachel Leishman on Mon,6:00 I, a stan of True Grit, can be heard yelling from all the mountaintops over the prospect of Hailee Steinfeld playing Kate Bishop in the Disney+ series Hawkeye. News, Valerie Plame, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Mon,5:49 Valerie Plame is a former CIA operative whose identity was leaked in 2003, who then went on to become a memoirist and spy novelist. Now she's also running for Congress and has released what might be my favorite campaign ad of all time. Movies, It, It Chapter Two, Stephen King By Kate Gardner on Mon,5:25 IT Chapter Two tells a story of believing in oneself and in each other, even if that seems childish. That childish hope is what kills monsters, after all. Movies, Christian Bale, Robert Pattinson, The Batman By Princess Weekes on Mon,4:50 Bale gave what call a "brief, but enthusiastic" reaction to Robert Pattinson being the next person to take over the Bruce Wayne/Batman role. Movies, Jojo Rabbit, TIFF By Rachel Leishman on Mon,4:33 Very few movies have had their hooks in me in the way that Jojo Rabbit does, and I didn't need more of a reason to want to see the it, but here we are. |
