I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
May the 4th - aka Star Wars Day - is getting closer and each year, Lucasfilm and Disney find something new to celebrate. This year, we're hoping to see a few more peeks at the many Disney+ series currently in production, as well as potentially some news on upcoming movies. But the main attraction will be Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
At this point, the main reason I'm looking forward to Aquaman 2 isn't to see the continued adventures of Arthur Curry, but because once it's out we can stop theorizing over whether Amber Heard is in it or not. Over the weekend, many on social media were celebrating her being fired, which was said to be related to her failing a physical exam. Word was that she'd been replaced by Jason Momoa's Game of Thrones co-star Emilia Clarke, which was greeted with jubilation by the very loud Heard hater army.
Last night's Golden Globe Awards was an interesting watch. Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler conducted a largely virtual ceremony replete with tech mishaps from nominees dialling in from around the world. On top of that, there was the simmering controversy that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - the Golden Globes governing body - has no black members and is dealing with a number of allegations of financial impropriety. Despite that, though, the night contained one truly touching moment.
Chris Evans' Steve Rogers was the moral center of the MCU for a decade and arguably its purest example of heroism. His story got a fitting ending in Avengers: Endgame as well, which revealed him as one of the few people worthy enough to wield Mjolnir, showed him leading the fight against Thanos and taking the Infinity Stones back to their home dimensions. We last saw him settling into a well-deserved retirement with Peggy Carter, but now rumors are building of him appearing in Captain America 4.
After the amazing 2018 Halloween, I'm itching for more Michael Myers mayhem. What makes the wait all the more difficult is knowing that the sequel Halloween Kills is 100% finished, though was postponed a year from October 2020 due to COVID-19. And rubbing salt into the wound are the constant reports from those who've seen it singing its praises.
