The Ending Feels RushedThe ending is sweet. I’ll give it that. It’s the typical Disney ending that you would come to expect, but it doesn’t sit right with me. I feel like the world wouldn’t come back together just like that. It would take some serious healing to reach that point again. It’s been broken for so long and you’re saying just because the dragons reappeared, everything goes back to being hunky-dory? I hate to reference it again, but even in Frozen, there was so much time and conflict leading up to that ending where it feels earned. It feels…
K-pop superstars BTS graced the Grammys with one of their best performances of the year so far.

Clips surfaced on Twitter soon after of highlights, which you can watch below: This content is imported from Twitter.

There was bound to be an (even more) exposition-heavy narrative presented before we got to the climactic showdown on Coryana, and Batwoman Season 2 Episode 7 does not disappoint. The twist to the big backstory reveal is that Ocean really. Does. Not. Care. Giggle-snort. Meanwhile, Jacob and Sophie are still kicking around for … reasons (?). I’m assuming contractual obligations? And the kryptonite infection is seriously complicating things for Team Batwoman 2.0 in that, half the time, Luke and Mary have no idea where Ryan is, and they’re rescuing her the other half. The whole secret identity thing is also…
John Boyega, whose career took off in the wake of 2011’s genre favorite Attack the Block, has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to reprise the role of Moses at some point down the road, and indeed there have been rumblings about a hotly-anticipated sequel several times in recent years. What are the odds we’re actually getting one? Quite good, it seems. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Attack the Block director Joe Cornish once again touches upon the idea of a sequel, noting that he and Boyega are “working on” something. “We’re working on it at the moment,”…
The world of musical theatre is full of book adaptations. Since about 2010, new musicals have trended towards film and television adaptations. However, in the backlogs of Broadway, name a beloved book and there’s a chance it’s been a musical at one point or another. 75 pages of War and Peace? Musical. Jane Eyre? Musical. Dracula? At least five musicals. Musicals aren’t all smiley, happy tap-dancing with a 11 o’clock number to bring the house down. There are horror musicals, tear-jerker musicals, experimental musicals, and musicals that flopped so hard that they need to go lay down for a while. What makes a…
Exclusive Reggie Warren — one of the original five members of the R&B group TROOP — has died … TMZ has learned. A rep for the group tells us Reggie passed away Sunday at his home in San Bernardino County, surrounded by family. We’re told he’s been dealing with health issues for a while now, and was even hospitalized for a couple months back in January. The rep says Reggie was released from the hospital Saturday with the anticipation he would die. We’re told his death is not COVID related — but the family didn’t want to discuss an official…
Theaters are beginning to open up on both coasts and the specialty box office life is starting to get some shine with each passing week. Things are slowly yet surely are gravitating to something a little more — dare I say — normal? This weekend, the Stage 6 Films rom-com Long Weekend from director Steve Basilone played in 814 theaters. The pic starring Finn Wittrock and Zoë Chao debuted with an estimated $245K with a per-theater average of $300. Other new theatrical releases this weekend included the IFC Films’ Come True. The sleep-study-gone-wrong sci-fi thriller from filmmaker Anthony Scott Burns and starring…
We all love Fallout: New Vegas, but let’s be honest. There’s something missing along that New Vegas Strip: people. It’s no secret that Obsidian had to chop some things from the final game, and diehard modders have managed to put back a lot of them into the game, including PushTheWinButton’s The Strip NPCs Uncut mod, which restores NPCs that were originally meant to be populating The Strip. As the modder explains, part of the issue for getting these NPCs back into the game was “due to difficulty in deciphering the scripts related to the Strip”. Nevertheless, this mod accomplishes that.…

James Cameron’s blockbuster, ‘Avatar,’ has reclaimed its throne as the highest-grossing movie ever around the world, which appears to be kinda pissing off the ‘Endgame’ crowd. Marvel fanboys/girls laid into Cameron Saturday on word that his 2009 behemoth of a flick had once again climbed to the top of the charts globally upon a re-release this weekend in Chinese markets, putting its new haul at just over $2.8B against ‘Endgame’s’ $2.797B. Congratulations to @JimCameron ,@JonLandau , and ALL of Na’vi Nation for reclaiming the box office crown! We love you 3000. @OfficialAvatar pic.twitter.com/WlMWRcL15y— Marvel Studios (@MarvelStudios) March 13, 2021 @MarvelStudios…
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world.I have long maintained that the worst thing you can do to me is send me an email. But lately, I’ve had to revise that stance to “maybe some emails are good.” Between Molly Young’s books newsletter Read Like the Wind, Hunter Harris’s fun-sized pop culture musings in Hung Up, and Delia Cai’s media dispatches in Deez Links, my inbox feels like it hasn’t since the mid-2000’s—something I actually want to dive into because it might contain a missive from a friend. (I still have friends. They…

Bill Maher delivered again Friday night, with a blistering review of America … a “silly country” he says, especially when compared to China. The ‘Real Time’ host dissected the American psyche … a country that is now obsessed with Dr. Suess’ books. By contrast, he notes China couldn’t give “a crouching tiger, flying f***,” because they’re not “silly people.” The “silly people” reference is from “Lawrence of Arabia,” but Bill said the moniker fits like a glove in the U S of A. Maher concedes China does a lot of “bad stuff,” but then he lowers the boom, grousing, “We…
