Movies, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Marvel Cinematic Universe By Princess Weekes on Wed,5:14 A few years ago, the question everyone asked was "Are you a feminist?" and it was being specifically asked of celebrity women. The question had nothing to do with the women being asked having any preexisting political stance. It was very much a gotcha question, because no matter what the woman said, it could be dissected by feminists and anti-feminist alike. There was no real intent to create meaningful conversations about feminism. It was for a soundbite, just like this is. Movies, movies, Scorpio By Rachel Leishman on Wed,4:38 So honor your favorite Scorpio, love their loyalty and respect them in their time, but also remember that Scorpios never forget, and that's why all these characters are the best. Books, contributors, Halloween By Christina Ladd on Wed,4:08 The stores are running low on candy, and the leaves have turned vibrant colors, and that means it's almost Halloween! Whether you’re here for the horror or can’t even handle too much darkness in your chocolate, there’s a genre or a book to get you excited for cool afternoons and dark and stormy nights. TV, obsessions, questions, Schitt's Creek By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,3:53 We like to check in with The Mary Sue community and find out what you are watching, reading, playing, listening to, and just plain obsessing over right now. News, donald trump, impeachment, Matt Gaetz, Republicans By Vivian Kane on Wed,3:32 Last week, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz tried to crash an impeachment hearing and then made a big fuss over being kicked out just because he doesn't actually sit on any of the committees involved and therefore has no right to be there. Today, he's trying it again, and he brought along about two dozen of his Republican colleagues, all of whom are apparently just as eager as Gaetz to out themselves as petulant idiots. Big on the Internet, Alexis Bledel, McAfee By Princess Weekes on Wed,1:59 Googling your favorite celebrities can come with some unintended consequences according to McAfee, the American global computer security software company. They have released the top ten celebrities who have been used to dupe people out of their personal information online, and the number one most dangerous celebrity when it comes to this is Rory Gilmore herself, Alexis Bledel. TV, American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis, Riverdale By Rachel Leishman on Wed,1:20 Before season 3 of Riverdale ever premiered, I wanted to know when Archie Andrews was going to sing "Selling Out," a song that opens American Psycho and features a shirtless Patrick Bateman talking about his "struggles" as a member of the elite New York social life. So, Riverdale would have to find some way to include it at some point, right? News, donald trump, impeachment By Vivian Kane on Wed,1:15 Yesterday, William B. Taylor Jr., the top American diplomat to Ukraine, joined the list of current and former officials who have defied Trump's orders and testified before Congress. The reaction from those who heard the closed-door testimony has been dramatic to say the least. AMP Featured, TV, clint barton, Hawkeye, Jeremy Renner By Rachel Leishman on Wed,12:06 Right now, it's just a rumor, but it's going to be interesting to see what Marvel and Disney do in regards to Jeremy Renner in the future. Big on the Internet, Joker, Todd Phillips By Princess Weekes on Wed,11:53 Tourists are flooding to The Bronx due to the Joker stair scene, making the locals feel like they are the ones who might wanna revolt. Big on the Internet, millennials, Twitter By Rachel Leishman on Tue,6:47 So 1 in 6 millennials have large saving accounts? We mock your hypothesis! Blasphemy, I say! Big on the Internet, abortion, Northern Ireland, things we saw today By Princess Weekes on Tue,5:52 This is a huge and important move, as Northern Ireland had remained the one part of the UK where abortion was still illegal "even in cases of rape, incest and when the fetus is unlikely to survive." News, Ernst & Young Global Limited, sexism, women in business By Vivian Kane on Tue,5:46 Ernst & Young held a training for female employees on leadership and empowerment. And by leadership and empowerment, they meant reinforcing outdated and totally misogynistic stereotypes. Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Tue,5:12 How many times have you thought about learning an instrument? We've got the perfect reason to stop fantasizing and actually make it happen—we're offering code 20LEARN20 for an extra 20% off the already-discounted prices at the Mary Sue Shop.

Movies, Black Widow, natasha romanoff, Scarlett Johansson By Rachel Leishman on Tue,5:06 It's telling that Johansson knew of the multiverse theories and that she didn't exactly shut them down. Saying, "But maybe my character exists in an alternate universe? But no, I think death is a final thing," she seemed to know something of the multiverse that no one has really brought up before. Why? Well, because that would give away a lot of what Marvel could have planned, but then again, dissecting Scarlett Johansson's quote makes me feel like I'm a conspiracy theorist ... and maybe I am. TV, Watchmen (HBO Series) By Princess Weekes on Tue,4:06 Oh, dear, people are unhappy about their comics being too left-leaning again. TV, Halloween, HBO, Succession By Brittany Knupper on Tue,3:51 It is officially 9 days until Halloween! And you know what that means! Lots of spooky, scary (werewolf bar mitzvah) content. And what is scarier than the horrors of late stage capitalism? That’s right! Nothing! I decided to delve deep into the characters of everyone’s favorite monster show, Succession, and see what famous literal monsters from film and TV history matched up with them the best! TV, Netflix, november 2019, The Crown By Kaila Hale-Stern on Tue,3:18 Here's what's coming to Netflix in peak fall, and the shows and movies that are on their way out. Movies, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker By Rachel Leishman on Tue,2:51 The journey of Star Wars is far from over—we know that—but this is still the conclusion of this trilogy, and we're saying goodbye to Rey, Finn, and Poe for the time being. Books, giveaway, marie lu, rebel By Kaila Hale-Stern on Tue,2:16 We've never had a giveaway like this before. 50 lucky readers of The Mary Sue will be able to listen to Marie Lu's Rebel! |
