Jesus. This property’s been brought back from the dead more often than both Winchesters COMBINED.

I love that people think this show has the budget for a CGI main character.

I am looking forward to the show, but these pictures are terrible. Why so dark? You know you can make a show FEEL dark and gritty without obscuring all the details in low lighting? I know I’m used to the anime, where all the details are crisp and bright, but I don’t think it’s just the adjustment to live-action that

Do you ever notice how, usually, when actors play newscasters on TV and in movies, there’s always something a bit weird and off about it? Like they can’t get the cadence quite right? And then when journalists make cameo appearances on TV shows, there’s something about their energy and manner that doesn’t quite click

I have very little stake in who is chosen (apart from reviling this guy for obviously being an asshole), since I don’t watch Jeopardy, and didn’t see ANY of the guests trying out. However, I am totally over this increasing trend to hire actors to host game shows. Acting and hosting are a totally different skill set,

This exactly. I always find takes like “Isn’t she rich enough already?” miss out on the larger point: This movie will generate billions over time as it’s released and licensed in different ways. If she isn’t (and presumably the other stars aren’t) getting that money, who is? Guaranteed it’s going to someone even

I could support a director banning chairs from the set.

I would really like some clarification of what happened here:

Typical Catholics. No sex until you’re married! After you’re MARRIED, then also no sex.

The Citations Needed podcast just did an outstanding episode on this very topic. The various ways in which “essential workers” are lauded by employers publicly as heroes, and then privately fed into the corporate meat grinder for profits at any cost. Excellent listen, do check it out!

This is how societal change happens. It’s not that individuals change their minds, it’s that older people with dominant beliefs literally die and are replaced by those younger and more forward-thinking. I’m not celebrating HIS death, really, but rather the death of his ideology, his era. I’m fucking dancing on its

You know, if this guy put up a Valentine’s display with nudity or a realistic-looking sexual tableau, it would get taken down so fast... but this is okay?

Rats. Hannah being a ghost seemed too predictable, especially with all the anvils about her not eating. My theory up to this point was actually that SHE had killed Peter Quint, and her “drifting off,” lighting the extra candle, and hallucinating the crack (which in this scenario would have been from the impact of his

Wow. I never expected Jezebel’s commentariat to be so uniformly against this woman and her story. Honestly, I don’t understand why it’s not considered credible!

Thank you so much for this article! For me, Shirley Jackson adaptations are right up there with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein - Each new adaptation provides a new source of anger/disappointment that yet again, another production has entirely missed the fucking point! How have these stories managed to remain enduring

This doesn’t surprise me. Chatter around The Disaster Artist was that it glossed over a lot of Wiseau’s more problematic or abusive behaviour on set to present a more positive “he’s just a weird goofball” portrait, specifically because they needed Wiseau’s consent/cooperation to get the film off the ground. Seems like

Now playing

Hmm. I don’t know that I’d say the original series had much of a “literature” component. I remember it being way more about LITERACY: the way we can read/view and write/express in order to communicate in creative ways. It was all about cracking codes, finding clues in letters, notes, snippets of texts. And, of course,

Yes!! I needed this news so bad!

That’s amazing!
