Big on the Internet, Creed II, Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,11:51 In our Era of Perpetual Reboots, there is one revived franchise that already proved itself worthy: extending the Rocky universe to feature Apollo Creed's son in the form of Michael B. Jordan. Movies, Comcast, Fox, marvel By Princess Weekes on Wed,11:05 In the war for Fox's chunk of the Marvel Comic World, Comcast made a surprise bid against Disney's offer of $65 billion. Not one to be screwed out of a possible monopoly, Disney responded today by raising their bid to $71.3 billion for the Fox assets according to The New York Times. Sponsored, Adobe, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Wed,10:30 When you’ve got the right creative tools, the world (or the webpage) is your oyster. Master the tools that professional designers use for just $29—the Complete Adobe CC Training Bundle is now 95% off at the Mary Sue Shop. TV, J'onn J'onzz, Supergirl (character), The CW By Princess Weekes on Wed,8:25 David Harewood and Carl Lumbly (as J'onn and M'yrnn J'onzz) created a perfect black father-son storyline on Supergirl. TV, Patrick Stewart, Star Trek (franchise), things we saw today By Vivian Kane on Tue,6:07 The showrunners of Star Trek: Discovery recently exited the show over allegations of verbal and emotional abuse, but if you were worried that would hinder your Star Trek intake, you need not fear. AMP Featured, Movies, anthony lane, The Incredibles 2, The New Yorker By Kaila Hale-Stern on Tue,6:01 Hey everyone! I found it, the worst thing that you will ever read! Movies, Mister Rogers, movie review, Won't You Be My Neighbor? By Vivian Kane on Tue,5:17 For more than three decades, Fred Rogers brought kindness and compassion into children's lives through his television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. As one of the millions of children watching, I know I was deeply affected by his presence, but I, like so many other young people, couldn't possibly have realized just how profound, and even how subversive his work was. Gaming, Bandai Namco, Soul Calibur VI, Soulcalibur By Princess Weekes on Tue,4:06 The struggle of finding a space between genuine feminine expression and internalization of patriarchal expectation. TV, mental health, michelle wolf, The Break with Michelle Wolf By Kaila Hale-Stern on Tue,3:48 Comedian Michelle Wolf had a brilliant segment on The Break with Michelle Wolf about how much our culture of pretending everything is fine and dandy contributes to silence about our own mental health and the stigma around mental illness. Big on the Internet, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ghost, Hannah John-Kamen By Kaila Hale-Stern on Tue,2:06 As we get closer to Ant-Man and The Wasp's release date, I'm increasingly interested to see what the movie does with Hannah John-Kamen's Ghost. Ghost will be the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first villain played by a woman of color, and its second-ever female villain onscreen. News, LGBTQ Representation, One Million Moms By Charlotte Rose Larson on Tue,1:46 For those of us who grew up cisgender and straight, cartoons and films were surface-level entertainment. We didn't have to work too hard to identify with characters on the screen, and we're doing just fine. I'm worried about the children who discover from an early age that they are a part of the LGBTQIA community, but the world around them and the media they see does not represent them. Part of the problem begins with the censorship campaigns created by the group One Million Moms. AMP Featured, News, anti-choice, Immigration By Vivian Kane on Tue,12:36 Imagine if anti-abortion groups cared about children as much as they care about a fetus. News, FacebooFacebook, Facebook, pollitics By Dan Van Winkle on Tue,12:36 Donald Trump's administration has a reputation for poor communication skills, both with the public and among its own ranks, but an ill-timed State Department live chat on "Family Travel Hacks" is may be the most incredibly cringe-worthy demonstration of their lack of coordination yet. That's quite the accomplishment in the same week they can't seem to agree on whether their "zero tolerance" policy of separating immigrant families is #MakingAmericaGreatAgain or a lie made up by the media. TV, Atlanta, Black-ish, Juneteenth By Princess Weekes on Tue,12:33 Juneteenth is a 150-year-old tradition, but it still is not as well known as it should be. Thankfully, black media is making the holiday more familiar to black and non-black audiences. |
