Big on the Internet, Jeff Goldblum By Rachel Leishman on Tue,4:45 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if we let Jeff Goldblum rule the world, it'd be a much better place. A little zany, but better. News, Artificial Intelligence, nuclear, WTF By Kate Gardner on Tue,3:51 Watch a damn movie or read science fiction. TV, Jonathan Frakes, Sir Patrick Stewart, Star Trek: Picard By Princess Weekes on Tue,3:41 During at Fan Expo Canada (August 22–25 2019), Frakes shared that the idea of not just directing Sir Patrick Stewart, but acting alongside him again, lead to some moments of stress for him: Movies, Jojo Rabbit, Scarlett Johansson, Taika Waititi By Rachel Leishman on Tue,2:41 Whatever happens, I'm excited about Jojo Rabbit.

Movies, Andy Muschietti, It Chapter Two, movie review, Stephen King By Kate Gardner on Tue,12:00 Our spoiler-free review of 'IT: Chapter Two.' Endings are tricky, and not something Stephen King is famously good at delivering on.

Movies, Booksmart, female directors, Olivia Wilde, Women in Hollywood By Vivian Kane on Mon,4:55 I do not know what kind of offers Olivia Wilde has been fielding. I hope there have been a ton.
