Danielle Harris in Halloween 4- The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

Here’s Our First Look at Ruby Rose as Batwoman

Batwoman in DC Comics
The CW has released the first image of what Batwoman will look like when she comes to life on screen in the three-part Arrowverse crossover event “Elseworlds.” The crossover will introduce Batwoman, aka Kate Kane, to the ever-expanding Arrowverse, and serve as a backdoor pilot for a standalone Batwoman series.

Review: First Man Is a Technically Stunning Film Made at the Wrong Time

Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong in First Man
I'm glad they decided against making it a story of American exceptionalism, but as with most historical films, they decide to focus mostly on white men.

Two of The CW’s New Shows Are Casually, Gloriously Queer

Legacies and Roswell New Mexico on The CW
Television has been better than mainstream movies about telling queer stories, but it took us a while to arrive at a place where a character's sexuality is no big deal. At NYCC, I watched two pilots that had me teary-eyed at just how easily the queer characters were included.

Today is the second Columbus/Indigenous People's Day since Donald Trump took office, and for the second year in a row, Trump has issued an official presidential proclamation for the holiday that fails to even mention the existence of Native Americans.

Loving Star Wars‘ Padmé Amidala, a Queen for All Seasons

EK Johnson's newest Star Wars novel will focus on Padme Amidala
There was always an amount of trepidation in making my Amidala appreciation known, because Padmé is not one of the "cool" female Star Wars characters.

Mitch McConnell Thanks “These Clowns,” Meaning Rape Survivors, for Pushing the GOP to Confirm Kavanaugh

kavanaugh protest ford
These women gave speeches outside the Hart Senate Office Building and inside its packed hallways, they confronted Senators in public spaces–in airports, hallways, and elevators. They left their homes, some of them traveling long distances, to relive what were potentially the most traumatic moments of their lives for a contemptuous audience of Republican senators. That's not a fun thing for anyone. It's incredibly courageous.
