Pranks are definitively the most unfortunate kind of humor. Sure, there can be good pranks, but those are best handled by professionals. Most of the time it’s just amateurs launching something obnoxious upon a perfectly nice, unsuspecting innocent. Don’t do it! And especially don’t do it if you’re a celebrity. Time…

According to reports, Greta Gerwig has set the seventh Hollywood adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic coming-of-age novel Little Women as her next directorial project. In case you’ve never read it, the novel—which was previously made into films in 1917, 1918, 1933, 1949, 1978, and 1994—follows the lives of the…

Episode 1: “Viking Funeral” | Episode 2: “Candy Of The Year” | Episode 3: “Concerned Women Of America” | Episode 4: “Mother Of All Matches” | Episode 5: “Perverts Are People, Too” |

RuPaul’s Drag Race crowned its 10th winner last night in a finale full of flattering lighting (important for the returning season-one queens), reveals on top of reveals (for better and worse), and a three-way lip sync for the crown. There was a lot going on—both on stage and off, if the ballot-stuffing for Miss…

Debra Granik’s low-budget Ozarks crime drama Winter’s Bone jumpstarted the career of the then-unknown Jennifer Lawrence and established its director as someone to watch. But in the years since, Granik has mostly remained under the radar, completing a documentary, Stray Dog, in between a number of film and TV projects…

Many of us have long assumed that our deaths would come at the hands of vengeful robots, mad because some of us advocated beating them up whenever possible. What we did not assume, however, was that said deaths would have such a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon vibe to them. As can be seen in the video above, Disney…

It may seem surprising, given there is a small but painfully vocal contingent of fans out there clamoring for rebellion against Lucasfilm thanks in part to The Last Jedi, but Rian Johnson might have a new Star Wars film for us all much sooner than anticipated.

“Returning to feature filmmaking some eight years after Winter’s Bone, [Debra] Granik has made a film about the separate magnetic pulls of isolation and community. She’s also told, with a minimum of melodramatic bullshit, the tale of a father, a daughter, and the limits of the sacrifices they’ll make for each other.…

While the viewing audience is conditioned to see the women of GLOW as underdogs, the show’s already making clear that their hard work is not going unnoticed. Sure, the previous episode had a problem with live audience investment, but a major point was that they had a live audience at all; people were even coming to…

It’s going to be hot as hell this weekend. For much of the country, temperatures will be in the ‘90s or above. And when things get that hot—we’re talking “seven inches from a mid-day sun” hot—there’s really only one song you can listen to: “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas. But what if one song isn’t enough?…

The 4th of July brings sales and deals from all corners of the web, and we’ve collected them here. Keep checking back throughout the weekend and into next week as we update with sales as they go live.

Vince Gilligan, the man best known for playing the cowboy host of a vintage VHS game on an episode of Community, took part in an onstage panel discussion last night, and during the conversation, he made it clear the world feels different than it was a decade ago—and that maybe we need some better people to watch as a…

Even the skinniest of movie fonts carry a lot of weight. The look of a handful of words, maybe advertising a movie called, like, The Fate Of The Furious or Quantum Of Solace or just listing the names of famous directors and actors, can greatly influence how a film is perceived. Naturally, then, movie studios like to…

While “Viking Funeral” was prep day, “Candy Of The Year” kicks things off with an in-progress match and a full house for G.L.O.W. While GLOW knows how to move from episode-to-episode with ease, the kinks still need to be worked out for G.L.O.W., like the crowd not caring about the in-ring action—partially the fault of…

Tommy Boy, Chris Farley and David Spade’s 1995 comedy, is beloved by a certain generation, with the likes of “holy schnikes,” “brothers gotta hug,” and “fat guy in a little coat” having infiltrated the lexicon like so many Simpsons quotes. Upon hearing someone recorded a full-length album devoted to the movie, one…

Every two weeks, Big Issues focuses on a newly released comic book of significance. This week, it is Man Of Steel #5. Written by Brian Michael Bendis (Spider-Man, Jessica Jones) with art by Adam Hughes (Betty & Veronica, Hellboy: Krampusnacht), Jason Fabok (Justice League, Detective Comics), and Alex Sinclair (Justice…

Welcome back to AVQ&A, where we throw out a question for discussion among the staff and readers. Consider this a prompt to compare notes on your interface with pop culture, to reveal your embarrassing tastes and experiences, and to ponder how our diverse lives all led us to convene here together. Got a question you’d…

GLOW gets into the bigger scope for season two fairly early on: It’s officially back to work for G.L.O.W., only the stakes are higher than just making one hopefully successful episode of television. “Viking Funeral” begins a 10-episode season which covers the show-within-the-show’s 20 weeks of tapings... and things…

If you thought Yeezy season was over, you were woefully mistaken. After releasing five albums in five weeks—albeit five extremely short albums in five weeks—rumors have started to emerge that Kanye’s got a whole lot left in the tank. Following the publication of a revealing interview with West in the New York Times…

Now that their Halloween reboot is in the can, Danny McBride and David Gordon Green have reached down deep into their big bag of comedic Southern archetypes and pulled out a new show. As Variety reports, the duo (and their frequent collaborator, Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals creator Jody Hill) have set a new…

Following the tragic shooting at the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland yesterday that left five dead, many people took to Twitter to lay blame on President Trump’s violent rhetoric aimed at the media over the years. One such person was David Simon, creator of shows like The Wire, Treme, and The Deuce,…

It was with both a heavy heart and a delightful sense of schadenfreude that we recently reported on the “fan” campaign to remake The Last Jedi, arguably the best Star Wars film since the original trilogy but definitely the best at inciting ire from people who seem to deeply misunderstand how movie franchises work.

Drake’s always been good at controlling the narrative around him, alternately leaning into his corniness and his penchant for drama, aligning himself with other emcees and labels as best fits the landscape. But his narrative was ripped out of his hands when Pusha T released the withering “Story Of Adidon,” a…

Kulap Vilaysack made her mark in comedy with scene-stealing guest spots on Parks And Recreation, Comedy Bang! Bang!, and Happy Endings, and by creating the Seeso (RIP) original comedy Bajillion Dollar Propertie$. Her latest project Origin Story is a feature-length, autobiographical documentary in which she embarks on…

Florence + The Machine open up old wounds (and stick to old sounds) on High As Hope, while both Gorillaz’s The Now Now and what should be Teyana Taylor’s breakout moment, K.T.S.E., feel unfocused and undercooked. These, plus Panic At The Disco, Jim James, and Dirty Beaches’ Alex Zhang Hungtai in this week’s notable…
