Big on the Internet, Comedians, Humor By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:33 bUt hUmOr iS fOr tHe mEn. Movies, It Chapter Two, LGBTQ Representation, queer representation By Kate Gardner on Fri,2:28 Of all the articles I expected to write about IT Chapter Two, I can definitely say that writing this wasn't one of them. Big on the Internet, TV, Batman: The Animated Series, Paul Dini By Princess Weekes on Fri,1:56 Batman: The Animated Series had an anniversary yesterday, celebrating 25 years since it premiered and helped shaped the landscape of comic book adaptation. It had a sense of creativity and understanding that making the series work meant addressing the psychological nuances of the rogues' gallery as much as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Due to that, BTAS had some of the best incarnations of classic Batman characters, but one of the standouts was Mr. Freeze. News, Alyssa Milano, gun control, Ted Cruz By Vivian Kane on Fri,1:50 If this doesn't end with Ted Cruz changing Milano's mind on guns (which he won't), it will just highlight the feeling many gun control activists have that conservatives can't be reasoned with. And if she doesn't change his mind (which she won't), conservatives are going to run with headlines about her getting owned by the worst the Republican Party has to offer. It's lose/lose. Movies, Disney, Sony, Spider-Man By Rachel Leishman on Fri,1:33 The battle over Peter Parker continues—well, sort of. Movies, It, It Chapter Two, Stephen King By Kate Gardner on Fri,12:59 From the climactic battle to the Losers' day jobs, here are all the biggest changes from Stephen King's original IT to IT Chapter Two. News, British Royal Family, meghan markle By Princess Weekes on Fri,11:57 Despite all the allegations around Prince Andrew, '60 Minutes Australia' decided that asking if Meghan Markle "lost her sparkle" was a story worth investigating. Movies, DCEU, marvel, Powerpuff Girls By Rachel Leishman on Fri,11:31 Someone over at The Guardian thinks that if Batman and the Joker teamed up for a movie, it would make the Avengers "look like the Powerpuff Girls." So, right off the bat, a couple of things: 1. That's not an insult. 2. If I have to watch Batman punch the Joker and then the Joker laugh it off one more time, I'm going to burn Gotham to the ground myself. TV, contributors, Misfits, superheroes By Lauren Coates on Fri,10:01 Before Marvel's The Avengers took the world by storm and sparked an entire wave of superhero media, there were still a few small shows about superheroes. Smallville is probably the most famous example, but right now, I want to pay tribute to a superhero show that has no comic book source material or greater franchise tie-in. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, It: Chapter 2, Sebastian Stan, things we saw today By Rachel Leishman on Thu,5:55 It's comforting to know that actors are as terrified by killer clowns as the rest of us. AMP Featured, News, CNN, donald trump, Stephanie Grisham, Twitter feuds By Vivian Kane on Thu,5:29 Stephanie Grisham's tendency to stick to the shadows is what makes today's spotlight on her so unusual. The fact that she found herself being spectacularly dunked on is what makes it great. Movies, Ben Wheatley, Lara Croft, Tomb Raider By Princess Weekes on Thu,5:11 For those who remembered and enjoyed last year's Tomb Raider film starring Academy Award winner, Alicia Vikander, there is apparently a sequel in the works and it has finally found its director in Ben Wheatley taking over from Roar Uthaug who helmed the first film. News, Dylan Farrow, Scarlett Johansson, Woody Allen By Kate Gardner on Thu,5:06 "Because if we’ve learned anything from the past two years it’s that you definitely should believe male predators who 'maintain their innocence' without question." News, donald trump By Rachel Leishman on Thu,4:49 The man with the nuclear codes can't take being wrong about something and so he's using a Sharpie to make his statement "legit". AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Lana Del Rey By Rachel Leishman on Thu,2:47 Anyway, Lana Del Rey's new album is great, and I'm sure that I'll take in these songs in a completely different way than Del Rey originally intended because that is, unfortunately, how we all process art. |
