Movies, James Gunn, Suicide Squad, Suicide Squad 2 By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,12:45 In news that will likely surprise no one, James Gunn is set to direct the follow-up to 2016's Suicide Squad. Movies, Toy Story 4 By Rachel Leishman on Thu,12:15 Our love of the Toy Story franchise rages on as we continue to see tweets and pictures from the wrapping on Toy Story 4. And, much like the rest of the films, we're already crying. Movies, Batman Beyond By Princess Weekes on Thu,11:38 The rumor mill is churning again and it concerns one of my favorite hopes: an animated Batman Beyond movie. My generation is determined to will a Batman Beyond movie into existence and we shall be heard. Movies, Batman (character), Ben Affleck, The Batman By Dan Van Winkle on Thu,10:08 Ben Affleck's original casting as Bruce Wayne/Batman for Batman v Superman drew a lot of ire, but for those who didn't like the movie, I feel pretty comfortable guessing that Affleck was hardly on of its larger issues. However, as the DCEU tries to shake off its past and move forward with what's working, it makes sense to bring in a new actor for a clean break, and that's exactly what Matt Reeves' The Batman will do. Big on the Internet, barbra streisand, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Richard E. Grant By Vivian Kane on Wed,6:00 Richard E. Grant's Twitter page is a fount of joy. Movies, Shazam, The MCU, Zachary Levi By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,5:40 It's always interesting to play "what if?" with regards to superhero casting. TV, Monica Lewinsky, The Good Place, Twitter By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,5:30 Mia Farrow recommended that Monica Lewinsky check out 'The OA' and 'The Handmaid's Tale.' All in all, Twitter came up with a great list of what to watch next. News, Christine Blasey Ford By Vivian Kane on Wed,5:15 Dr. Ford sacrificed her privacy and risked her personal security to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the assault she says she experienced at the hands of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. She recounted what must have been one of the most painful experiences of her life for both the Senate and a worldwide audience, knowing that she would be putting herself at risk by doing so. TV, Natasha Lyonne, Russian Doll By Rachel Leishman on Wed,4:57 There are Netflix shows that master the art of the binge-watcher, and Russian Doll is one of them. A show centered around Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and her seemingly endless loop of death, the show is a poignant look at how we view our past mistakes, connections to those around us, and the power of the desire to survive. TV, Nicole Maines, Supergirl (TV show) By Jessica Mason on Wed,4:37 From the announcement last year that Supergirl would add Dreamer, the first trans superhero on TV, to their roster, all eyes have been on the show to see how they handled the character. The casting of actress and activist Nicole Maines showed Supergirl was serious about getting things right. Movies, Matt Reeves, The Batman By Kate Gardner on Wed,4:31 "It’s more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films." Movies, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn, The MCU By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,4:21 Outside of who survives Avengers: Endgame, the biggest question in the Marvel Cinematic Universe remains unanswered: who will take up the mantle and helm Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3? Movies, Denis Villeneuve, Dune By Princess Weekes on Wed,4:18 The latest star to possibly join Denis Villeneuve's Dune reboot is actress Zendaya, who is up for the role of Chani, the warrior wife of Paul. Movies, Extremely Wicked Shockingly Evil and Vile, Ted Bundy, Zac Efron By Rachel Leishman on Wed,3:16 We have a complicated relationship with Ted Bundy as a society. Whether it's that he's seen as the "hot" serial killer or the glorification of how he got away with his crimes for so long, there is an air about the Bundy conversation that understandably rubs people the wrong way. TV, deep space nine, i just really love deep space nine okay, Star Trek: Discovery By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,2:38 This season, Star Trek: Discovery appears to be dipping its toes into questions about religion and science, but can the show—which often lacks subtlety—do these tricky subjects justice? |
