The year is 2017 and we have something a middle school goth version of myself would’ve never envisioned: franchised installments of Underworld and Resident Evil. Coming out in 2003 and 2002, respectively, the movies in these series are critic-proof, popcorn encrusted waifu action spectacles. I use the term critic-proof because neither film franchise…
America Chavez is the queer Latina superhero the world sorely needs in Donald Trump’s anti-LGBTQ, border-loving nation. And now we have a sneak peek of what she’ll look like when she’s debuted as one of newest female-led titles: The image, of a “Formation”-inspired brown woman dressed in patriotic red, white and blue but with a grimace on…
Last year I got all caught up rewatching Arrested Development, and in a state of naive comic bliss, I decided to give the fourth season a second chance as well. Despite some high points, it was somehow even worse than I remembered. It’s not just bad, aspects of it are actually depressing. So I’m…
It’s kind of hard to believe, but by the end of the year, there will be a Justice League movie out in theaters. I say it’s hard to believe simply because it doesn’t feel like anyone wants it that much. We have a trailer for the film, but the latest craze is new photos…
The writers who’ve penned 007’s exploits since 1999 fear the 45th President might have ruined their cash cow. The screenwriting duo of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the team that’s written, co-written, or rewritten the last six James Bond films, have an interview in the Telegraph this week about their new miniseries, an adaptation of…
Country superstar Toby Keith, the biggest name in this week’s line-up for pre-inaugural festivities, describes himself as an unapologetic performer, playing concerts for both Republicans and Democrats and performing for the military. Keith came under fire when he agreed to headline the “Make American Great Again! Welcome Celebration” at the Lincoln Memorial Thursday, joined by…

Roxane Gay has pulled her forthcoming book, How to Be Heard, from Simon & Schuster in response to its reported $250,000 book deal with Milo Yiannopoulous.

President Trump (that still feels way weirder than writing 2017 on a check) apparently shocked congressional leaders yesterday by claiming, in an extended riff, that he only lost the popular vote because of between three and five million votes which were cast illegally. The reaction to this has been strong and bipartisan, with both Republican…

On inauguration day in DC, the souvenir business was slow. I asked a vendor wearing a huge Bob Marley hoodie while hawking Trump hats and scarves and keychains whether he might not have had better luck selling Obama gear, and he shrugged. “It’s too late.” But he also said: “Tomorrow.” Tomorrow! You lie and I…
