my favorite part about this was people asking Adam Wingard what inspired him and he's just like "i think it's cute when my cat takes a nap in her lil cat bed."
And he's right. People acted like his performance in Oppenheimer was a huge upgrade from what we'd gotten from him for the last decade, but it wasn't. He was great in Oppenheimer. He was great in the MCU.
Folks are just snobs.
Robert Downey Jr. says his Iron Man performance in Marvel movies is some of his greatest acting work.
"I think I did some of the best work I will ever do, but it went a little bit unnoticed because of the genre."
I hope every single member of the Scream cast walks.
I love this franchise with all of my heart, and if this decision stands then Spyglass has ensured I will never watch another entry.
Melissa Barrera is right.
Hive is run by like two people. Cool it on the demands that it would take to get you, personally, to adopt. They're already working overtime to take care of the folks they have, and have been transparent about accessibility functions being a priority. They'll get there.
I was excited for, but also kind of dreading "Calliope" getting adapted for
#TheSandman
. That fear was unfounded.
The changes really showcase what happens when you choose to explore rather than exploit in these stories, and I'm thrilled with it.
Disney fired (and re-hired) James Gunn for commentary he made over a decade ago, had shown genuine remorse for, and changed everything about that behavior. Gina Carano was fired for what she is doing now.
They are not the same. You are embarrassing yourself.
Remember when SUPERGIRL made Dean Cain's character sacrifice his life off-screen* to save a bunch of refugees?
Might be my favorite ideological "fuck you" in entertainment history.
*Because Cain wasn't invited to return. Because he sucks.
A) writing reviews is not crossing picket lines or scabbing. Our professions are not the same.
B) why are you just now worried about this question? WGA β the guild actually closer to our industry β has been striking for 74 days.
Critics are not influencers. Stop it.
Apparently I'm just on a kick today, but *this* is Batman.
It's easy to lean into all the darkness of the character, but at the end of the day *this* is why that symbol means something. The boy scout is his best friend for a reason.

Hereβs the longer version of the two legendary directors talking to each other.
#RRRMovie
Now seems like a good time to remind folks that your friends with depression likely aren't going to reach out to you.
Shift your time from the "I'm here's" and "reach out if you needs" and check in with them directly from time to time. You can literally save a life.
Ezra Miller's pronouns are they/them and widely known as such. Choosing not to honor said pronouns simply because Miller is a jerk does nothing to them but sure does ostracize the shit out of the non-binary folks in your life.
Happy Ghostbusters Day to everyone but the men who thought their "fandom" was an excuse to bully a bunch of folks to the point that they emotionally shut down at the term "ghostbusters."
It's almost as if
there was never any Snyder Cut
and BatBros
simply harassed creators and journalists for years
because they were fueled by the assbag in the vest.
If you're a younger writer and/or critic, I want you to know that it's cool to be excited about things. A lot of people will try to make you feel silly for that, and not a single one of them matters. Stay passionate.
Do you ever feel like you're watching a completely different franchise from other people? That's the vibe I get when fans call for Sidney Prescott's head when discussing SCREAM 5.
Killing Sid would be a tremendous disservice to SCREAM. Here's why.
The fact that we have let these lunatics rise up twice is a collective failure. The fact that they will get away with doxxing another woman AGAIN is a collective failure.
Folks need to start speaking up, because the bigots are not getting any quieter.
Exactly 5 months ago I was laid off from a job I hated.
As of this morning, I've officially tricked
@CordCutters
into letting me help lead their editorial and content?
So, like... I guess I have a job now?
insane to me early Furiosa reactions are like βwow Chris Hemsworth is so good as a villain who knew!β while Iβve been sitting here for years like umm
I see the good intent here but this is an aggressively stupid move that will only be used to further the republican narrative that media is sparking the violence rather than the fact that any fuckwit can get a gun easier than I can get birth control.
Judd Apatow, Mark Ruffalo, Jimmy Kimmel, Adam McKay, Julianne Moore, and Shonda Rhimes are among the first round of signatures for a petition calling for the film and TV industry to re-examine its influence on national gun violence in the U.S.:
Amber Heard had more tangible evidence than most domestic violence victims. Johnny Depp made it all go away with a PR firm and meme culture.
I don't have anything beyond that. I'm just angry. I hope all of my fellow survivors find peace today in whatever way helps them.
This is one of my favorite conversations in the whole of the MCU, and highlights why ground-level heroes will always be the key to my heart.
It's never about the powers.
The Ghostface with a gun discourse is weird. Y'all are weird. Go play outside.
He didn't even show up with the gun. He took it, used it, and left. He's not running around with guns now. I am begging you to go do ANYTHING that matters.
Fun fact: left-handedness used to be considered a mark of a witch. Luckily, Fear Street star Kiana Madeira taught herself ambidexterity at 26, allowing her to play 90s high school student Deena as right-handed and 1600s accused witch Sarah Fier as left-handed.
Forever thankful Brandon Routh got some closure in CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths, but he's never gotten the respect he deserved as a top-tier Superman (and Clark Kent).

I got to go hang out with the team that made the

Rings of Power title treatment. There was fire and sparkler dust so, needless to say, I had a great time.
Fun technical, molten metal-y stuff inside:
Streaming is my livelihood. Streaming is also broken. I think the strikes can save it, and I hope everyone on the picket lines gets every damn thing that they are asking for.

Avengers:Endgame and everything after the fact has completely failed to acknowledge Black Widow's sacrifice. Hawkeye is finally changing that. (And of course it's my favorite part of the show.)
Show me a single antisemitic comment from Barrera, and I will retract my statement.
If you are, instead, conflating anti-Israel statements as antisemitic behavior while Israel is committing genocide, you can miss me while you invalidate the countless Jews begging for ceasefire.
Your friendly neighborhood witch was laid off this morning. This means I'm now available for a whole host of things, whether it be freelance, full, or part time.
I've got 5 years experience in entertainment writing, event coverage, interviews, etc.
Will write for food!
Antifa is not an organization. It's a word. It means anti-fascist.
Are you against fascism? Congrats! You're antifa!
Your grandpa who fought in WWII? Antifa.
People who spoke out against America's Japanese internment camps? Antifa.
Every decent human being you know? Antifa.
This franchise started a long time ago. Before the industry learned the few things it has about female characters.

letβs the women soar in ways that no other Marvel film has, and Iβm in love with it.

This makes two outlets I've duped into letting me write about wrestling. I'll be reviewing FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY in February. But, in the meantime, here's a look at the woman who inspired it,

I hope every single review is talking about how well Interview with the Vampire is lit because nearly that whole damn premiere is in the dark and you can see ALL OF IT.
Shouldn't be noteworthy! And yet!
Oh no the time actually came where the superstitious weirdo has to admit that it's real! Though, is there any better time for an outlet to get themselves a resident witch?
Guess I'll see y'all tomorrow as

β¨Some personal news, as they sayβ¨
I'm leaving What to Watch. Details on the new adventure coming soon! For now I'm just thankful for every dollar I got to pay my remarkable freelance team. They're the real ones, and I can't wait to watch them grow.
Stay tuned!
You ever have a movie that you completely adore, but avoid talking about it because of the dipshits who glom onto it?
That's me and V FOR VENDETTA.

Millennials! I have a question for you specifically!
How many of you have any sense or memory of the concept of a "rerun"? Do you have any meaningful recollection of an episode of TV you watched being such a thing?
I never picked up an Archie comic in my life until I found out about their horror/madhouse runs.

I've seen some frustration around this story that I don't 100% understand. "I don't believe in this personally but agree that other people should have the right to do it" is literally all I want from anyone?
Please. *Please* give me a battle of ideologies between these two that ultimately ends in respect and sisterhood.
Those two symbols can move mountains together when theyβre not shoehorned into a needless war with one another.
