Movies, Elton John, Rocketman, Taron Egerton By Kaila Hale-Stern on Tue,3:41 I wasn't sure what to make of Rocketman, the planned biopic of Elton John, which cast Taron Egerton as an unlikely John. But this featurette looks promising. TV, domestic abuse, Lorena Bobbitt By Princess Weekes on Tue,3:21 The four-part docuseries, which is on Amazon Prime and executive produced by Jordan Peele, goes through all the elements of the Bobbitt case, which wasn't just about Lorena assaulting her then-husband, but also about him being on trial for marital rape. TV, Harvey Weinstein, Lena Headey By Rachel Leishman on Tue,2:46 Lena Headey is an icon, but why has she been pretty much off our radar before Game of Thrones? Maybe because, earlier in her career, she shut down advances from Harvey Weinstein when she was working on two television shows with the Weinstein Company. Shortly after she laughed at his remarks about her and declined to go to his hotel room, she had a dry spell until Game of Thrones. Mysterious! TV, Jessica Jones, Krysten Ritter, Netflix By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,2:16 Jessica Jones was (for me at least) the greatest achievement of the Netflix/Marvel partnership. News, Immigration, lawsuits By Vivian Kane on Tue,1:37 It's been four days since Donald Trump declared a national emergency to fund his pointless border wall and already 16 states have signed on to a lawsuit challenging that move. Movies, Armie Hammer, Batman (character), Bruce Wayne, DC Comics By Rachel Leishman on Tue,12:58 Whether that means he'd be another Bruce Wayne or just someone taking over the mantle of Batman is still unknown, but I have a complaint because Hal Jordan is literally right there. Movies, Captain Marvel (movie), Rotten Tomatoes, trolls By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,12:31 Men are shouting from basements all across the land about Brie Larson, her feminism and liberal politics, how Captain Marvel is an SJW film, and ARG WOMEN I HATE THEM WHY WON'T THEY LOVE ME!? Gaming, Mortal Kombat 11 By Princess Weekes on Tue,12:29 Fan-favorite character Jade is returning to Mortal Kombat, but her lack of cleavage has bothered some people. Big on the Internet, Disney, Star Wars (franchise) By Kate Gardner on Tue,12:19 Amidst rumors of trailers and rumors of titles, we're now getting a series of rumors about possible Star Wars shows for Disney+. Movies, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marvel Entertainment, Pepper Potts By Rachel Leishman on Tue,11:31 I love Pepper Potts; we share the same weird allergy to strawberries, and I'd also love to rock white suits if I could, so seeing her leave the MCU isn't going to be easy. Big on the Internet, Aquaman, Jason Momoa, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,6:02 I liked Aquaman. The movie was a fun time overall, and a step in the direction of lighter, more vibrant DCEU universe that seems to bode well for Warner Bros. But did anyone expect it to become one of the highest-grossing movies of all time? TV, doctor culber, LGBTQ Representation, Star Trek: Discovery By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,5:22 Midway through its first season, Star Trek: Discovery was hit by a wave of fan outrage after the brutal murder of Dr. Hugh Culber. Culber's unexpected death seemed to break up the first canonically queer couple in Star Trek's long history. But last week, Discovery walked it back. News, Ivanka Trump, Mike Pence By Vivian Kane on Mon,4:35 Ivanka Trump and Mike Pence had a very bad time at the Munich Security Conference this weekend. Big on the Internet, Movies, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, The Favourite By Princess Weekes on Mon,3:30 In the game of favourites, which manipulator are you? Movies, Captain Marvel, Diana Prince, Ghostbusters, leia organa, Star Wars (franchise), Wonder Woman By Rachel Leishman on Mon,2:36 Do you ever see people getting angry about something and question why it's happening? Recently, that has been my experience with all the Captain Marvel "discourse." |
