Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diane Vilbert on Tue,3:58 We've gone through all of our deals from last week so you don't have to—now, check out our top 10 and save up to 73% on personal fan-less mini-fans, bamboo sheets, drink chillers, and more at the Mary Sue Shop. Movies, backlash, The Hunt, Universal By Kate Gardner on Tue,3:54 IndieWire is reporting exclusively that Universal already had plans to cancel the film prior to the critiques being launched at the project. News, Julian Castro, mass shooting, Trump By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,3:37 In 30 seconds, Castro delivers an impassioned take-down that captures the anger and frustration in the wake of this horrific shooting. Movies, Blinded By The Light, Bruce Springsteen By Rachel Leishman on Tue,3:07 I think that Blinded by the Light is going to hit home for so many of us, even being set in the late '80s, and it truly shows the power of music and how it can uplift us. News, climate change, donald trump, endangered species By Vivian Kane on Tue,2:26 The effects of the new Endangered Species Act rules will be devastating. AMP Featured, Movies, blackface, comedy, Sarah Silverman By Princess Weekes on Tue,2:23 In the most recent episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast, Sarah Silverman admitted that she had recently been axed from a movie because of her 2007 blackface sketch. Movies, Little Women By Rachel Leishman on Tue,1:21 I have my hopes, I understand the criticisms, and I hope that Amy March is finally not the hated sister because she's honestly one of the best. Big on the Internet, fandom, Tumblr, WordPress By Kate Gardner on Tue,1:16 Tumblr, the site that used to be home to all fandom discourse and now is somewhat of a joke, has been sold to Automattic (the site that owns Wordpress) by Verizon for less than 3 million dollars. To fully let the weight of that sink in, I'll remind you that when Yahoo first bought the site, they bought it for 1.1 billion. Yikes. TV, Jeph Loeb, Marvel Cinematic Universe, marvel studios By Chelsea Steiner on Tue,12:56 It will be exciting to see how far Marvel pushes the envelope, and what series will sink or swim in the already overcrowded world of comic book content. Big on the Internet, Movies, Aladdin (2019), Disney, Return of Jafar By Princess Weekes on Tue,12:09 It is highly possible that we are getting a remake of the Aladdin direct-to-video sequel Return of Jafar. AMP Featured, News, Chris Cuomo, Fredo Corleone, The Godfather By Rachel Leishman on Tue,12:00 Being called "Fredo" is annoying and rude, but it does not even come close to being called the "N-word," so Cuomo, you're righteous in your anger, but so very wrong about what being called Fredo actually means. Big on the Internet, comedy, Hannah Gadsby, Louis C.K. By Kate Gardner on Tue,11:11 "I think because we think about men as the default, they don’t know how to let other people talk about their experiences without centering themselves. And that runs deeper than two lonely comedians." AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, contributors, Netflix, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power By Margaret Evans on Tue,10:53 The idea of Adora and Catra forming a romantic relationship has fallen apart in the face of something that only continues to become clearer with each episode of the show: Catra is toxic, and it's OK to let toxic people go. Big on the Internet, Jane Austen, things we saw today By Princess Weekes on Mon,6:00 Jane Austen died July 18th, 1817 leaving two unfinished books and now one of them Sanditon is being adapted to a mini-series. What is it about? Class, romance, and spunky heroines of course! Uncategorized, live art, Macbeth, Sir Patrick Stewart By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,5:56 Your editors here at The Mary Sue are as big fans of the stage as we are of the screen. While we love many a TV show and film, some live performances—plays, musicals, readings, stand-up, concerts—can feel viscerally moving and life-changing. TV, Sioban "Shiv" Roy, Succession By Rachel Leishman on Mon,5:39 If you're not watching Succession on HBO, I can tell you that you're wrong, but also I was in the same boat until this last weekend. TV, Disney, The MCU By Kate Gardner on Mon,5:01 This is both a wildly cool way to further the MCU's future and, also, probably a bit of a cynical ploy to get those Disney+ subscriber numbers up. |
