WGA Strike: Timeline of Key Events

It’s been a long and winding road so far for Hollywood during its summer of strikes, and the path forward is anything but clear. As the Writers Guild of America and Alliance of Motion Picture and T…

I am seldom overtly political here, but I want to say a thing out loud.

A right to bodily autonomy isn't conditioned on being a rape or incest survivor. We must not create special circumstances when we recognize a woman's right to avail herself of family planning services or medical care.

It's her body. The decisions are hers, in consultation she takes with her doctor, and influenced, to the extent she elects, by her partner.

That's it.

Identical philosophy applies to trans folks.

Zendaya's Bob is All I Need Right Now - The Antagonist

Listen, it's been a crappy March so far. Every time I look at the news, it seems like the world is on fire. Or having a blizzard where there shouldn't be one. But there's one thing making it all worthwhile, and that is the hairstyle everyone's favorite actress has been…

We Used AI to Generate the Most Narcissistic James Cameron Avatar: The Way of Water Oscar Speech - The Antagonist

It’s been 25 years since James Cameron declared himself “king of the world” during his acceptance speech for Best Director at the 70th Academy Awards. His speech drew a bit of heat, but Cameron has somehow remained on top of the film industry. Three of his films are among the…

"Outer Banks is the exquisite corpse method of storytelling if it was directed by Michael Bay. It’s the William S. Burroughs cut-up technique brought to you by Bret Ratner. It’s like playing Uncharted, but you also have the disease from Momento."

Waters on Outer Banks: Floor Sleepers Unite - The Antagonist

Welcome back, y’all. It’s Outer Banks time. We're on episode two, "The Bells." My favorite part of this new season is that the show makes sure you know that no one on this beautiful cast of main characters has bathed in over a month, yet the show still ogles them…

I ran errands today without a coat on. In New York. In January. I don't LIKE winter, but I do kinda miss winter.
