[Editor’s note: The following contains some spoilers for Season 2 of Gossip Girl.]Developed by showrunnerJosh Safran(a writer and executive producer on the original series), Season 2 of the HBO Max original seriesGossip Girlhas seen more drama, bigger scandals, and a lot more gossip. And while the idea of a throuple among the student body at a private school for the offspring of the wealthy and the super connected seems salacious, for teenagers Max (Thomas Doherty), Audrey (Emily Alyn Lind), and Aki (Evan Mock), it’s important that they put in the work, communicate, commit, and actually really care about each other....

From co-writer/directorJulia Hart, the indie dramaFast Colorfollows Ruth (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a woman with supernatural abilities who is on the run in the hopes of keeping her powers a secret from those who would consider her dangerous.

Usually, a red-band trailer for a movie likeHands of Stone, the upcoming dramatic depiction of Roberto Duran (Edgar Ramirez) and Sugar Ray Leonard’s (Usher Raymond) rivalry, signals some major bloodshed or some not-so-child-friendly language. That’s not the case in this case, however. No, in this situation, the red-band is mostly to show off the unclothed figure of the actress who plays Duran’s girlfriend. It’s a hugely questionable marketing decision, though I can’t say it’s particularly surprising....

One of the most notable televisionWesternsof the 1960s was theJames Drury-led series,The Virginian. Behind other Western giants,GunsmokeandBonanza,The Virginianwas the third longest-running horse opera in the network’s history. With nine seasons total and just shy of 250 episodes, the series only ended because of the rural purge that wiped out most Western programs. But how didThe Virginianstart? Well, believe it or not, it originated in an earlier program — one that aired back in 1958....

The history of the Walt Disney Company is littered with tantalizing, troublesome what-ifs – rides, shows, attractions, and theme parks that were designed and planned but never built. Disney’s America, a proposed historical theme park nestled in the rolling hills outside of Washington, D.C., was one of those projects. It was unlike anything the company ever mounted, both in terms of its elaborate, educational theming and the firestorm of controversy that the veryideaof the project was met with....

In less than a decade, the term “girlboss” has been through one hell of a transformation. When it was coined by Nasty Gal founderSophia Amorusoin 2014, it was the ultimate feminist credential, a gender-specific badge of honor worn by tough-as-acrylic-nails women scaling patriarchal ladders one rung at a time. It was meant to channel the perseverance, the grit, and the indomitable spirit of women. And it caught on like wildfire. Soon, everyone was trying to identify as that mythic of all creatures, the #girlboss....

WithBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, audiences were introduced to a very different kind of Batman than had ever before graced the silver screen. Drawing from the classic comicThe Dark Knight Returns,Ben Affleck’s Batman was a broken man; an older, grizzled, more cynical version of the Dark Knight with an almost perfunctory thirst for vengeance and a severe hatred of the outsider known as Superman. But when Affleck’s Batman returns inJustice League, audiences will get a taste of yet another new iteration of the Caped Crusader—one with a bit more optimism....

The final member of theJustice Leaguemovie (minus Superman) has now been introduced thanks to the fifth and final (?) character teaser. We’ve already become acquainted withZack Snyder’s takes on Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Aquaman, so it falls toRay Fisher’s Victor Stone, a.k.a. Cyborg, to anchor the superhero team. Cyborg is definitely the biggest wild card here. We’ve got a pretty good feel for The Flash and Aquaman from the first Justice League trailer and their minimal appearances inBatman v Superman, but all we know about Cyborg at this point is that he’s… a cyborg (part man, partMother Box)....
