Movies, Fantastic Beasts (franchise), Johnny Depp By Rachel Leishman on Fri,1:16 Do you ever see someone defend something so intensely and you're like, "Really? Why?" Big on the Internet, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, memes, Tweets By Rachel Leishman on Fri,1:06 The internet did us a favor and combined two of our favorites: memes and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Big on the Internet, count chocula, Franken Berry, General Mills By Chelsea Steiner on Fri,1:06 One thing I don't find myself concerned with is the greater cereal monster cinematic universe. Movies, fantastic beasts: the crimes of grindelwald, Harry Potter (franchise), J.K. Rowling By Princess Weekes on Fri,1:01 Leta Lestrange in Crimes of Grindelwald is J.K. Rowling's first on-screen and named black female Slytherin character and the results are more than lackluster. Big on the Internet, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, conservatives, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Fri,11:37 Another day, another conservative getting owned by their own attempted bashing of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The most recent to join those ranks is the Washington Examiner's Eddie Scarry, who posted a totally creepy picture of the Congresswoman-elect to Twitter, along with a caption suggesting her working-class image isn't accurate. Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Fri,11:03 You may have never thought you needed a high-tech blanket in your life before, but you do. News, abortion, politics, week in reproductive justice By Kylie Cheung on Fri,10:38 This week was a busy one for upsetting news in reproductive rights, and early on, anti-choice politicians wasted no time in reminding us all that this is an intersectional issue—especially along lines of race. News, nolite te bastardes carborundorum, Tucker Carlson By Vivian Kane on Thu,6:04 There's a lot of garbage there, and you shouldn't have to sift through it. It will hurt your brain. So here are just some of the very worst things he said in this super softball interview with a fawningly sympathetic outlet. Big on the Internet, J.K. Simmons, things we saw today, Veronica Mars By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,6:00 Oscar-winning character actor J.K. Simmons is set to join Hulu's revival of Veronica Mars. Movies, Birds of Prey, Cassandra Cain, DCEU By Princess Weekes on Thu,5:34 The Birds of Prey has fully teamed up. Movies, Destroyer, I Tonya, Widows By Rachel Leishman on Thu,4:08 The latest in movie trends is that women are telling some incredible stories, and honestly, great. Keep it coming. It's simple; we're finally getting the movie roles that men have dominated for years. Books, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, masculinity By Kate Gardner on Thu,3:37 There is much to love about the wonderful third Harry Potter book, from Hogsmeade to hippogriffs, but Lupin is one of the best additions to the series. TV, American Horror Story, FX, Ryan Murphy By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,3:16 For most of its eight-season run, American Horror Story has pitted complex, powerful women against men and the systemic patriarchy threatening to dismantle the world. Big on the Internet, A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones, Sansa Stark By Princess Weekes on Thu,3:06 Hasn't Sansa suffered enough? TV, Dungeons & Dragons, Riverdale By Vivian Kane on Thu,2:36 With G&G, we still don't know who (or what) is pulling the strings, but the cult of the game is widespread, spanning generations, and, if Jughead is right, encompassing far more about their lives than anyone has ever realized. And it is dangerous. Multiple people have died because of the game. But without acknowledging the real-life counterpart to this story, it all feels a bit too silly. Movies, adaptations, Jane Goldman, Rebecca By Kate Gardner on Thu,1:28 Last night, the Internet dreamt it went to Manderley again with the announcement that Ben Wheatley would be directing an adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's classic, Rebecca. Movies, werewolves By Princess Weekes on Thu,1:12 Yes, Halloween is over, but though we spent the month talking about our favorite female witches and vampires, there's one supernatural bad girl that still doesn't get a lot of love and attention, and that's female werewolves. |
