Enough With The Lesbian Period Dramas

There’s a pretty standard set of stereotypes when it comes to lesbian fashion. Plaid, snapbacks, Blundstones, and keys hanging off carabiners all make the cut. But looking at the way Hollywood has gone about depicting sapphic women, you might as well throw petticoats and corsets in there, too.

The film industry has developed a fascination bordering on obsession with moody-yet-sexy lesbian period dramas. On Friday, Ammonite, which features Kate Winslet as a dour paleontologist and Saoirse Ronan as a young woman who woos Winslet out of her hard shell, will become the latest addition to this obsession. It’s set in 1840, because of course it is.

Perhaps the most telling sign that these films are trying to soften their portrayal of lesbianism that no one ever has to say the word “lesbian.” Or even “sapphic.” Nevermind the nuance of a nice “bisexual.” The women desire and pine and exchange longing glances by a windswept beach with moody gray skies, but they don’t speak plainly of what’s going on. This makes sense to some extent, since historically these desires weren’t allowed in public life, leading to a lot of coded behavior and clandestine relationships. These are women overcoming societal expectations to follow their passions — they don’t need labels, right?

Marvel's 'Black Panther' Sequel Shoot to Begin in July (Exclusive)

Tenoch Huerta, star of Netflix's 'Narcos: Mexico,' is joining the cast of the untitled film from Ryan Coogler, sources tell THR.

Marvel Studio’s plans for the sequel to Black Panther are starting to come into focus.

The sequel was sidelined after the sudden and unexpected death of star Chadwick Boseman and a planned March 2021 production start was waylaid as filmmaker Ryan Coogler and Marvel tried to navigate grief and the need to move forward. It was the nadir of a year that saw no Marvel movies released for the first time since 2009.

Director Ron Howard Was Humiliated by Bette Davis on a Movie Set: ‘I Popped a Couple of Tums’

One of filmmaker Ron Howard’s earliest directorial projects in his career was a made-for-television movie called Skyward.

As Howard told the Archive of American Television in 2006, making the film was an amazing experience for him.

What was difficult was directing legendary actor Bette Davis, firstly because of how intimidating it was to work with one of the greatest actors in the history of film.

But also, secondly, because Howard had the feeling she didn’t like him.

‘SNL’ Creator Lorne Michaels Married One of His Much-Younger Assistants — Known as the ‘Lornettes’

SNL executive producer and creator Lorne Michaels was known for employing several of young female assistants — who the Saturday Night Live cast members called the “Lornettes.” And eventually, he married one of them.

A New York Magazine profile on SNL from a seemingly ancient era of the sketch series — the mid-’90s — painted a fascinating picture of the show’s working environment, dictated mainly by how Michaels operated as Saturday Night Live’s executive producer.

Apparently, in every entryway in Michaels’ office area, “a blond wicker basket of warm kernels precedes him, usually delivered by one of several blonde female assistants in their early twenties.”

These assistants of Michaels were so pervasive — and identical — that other SNL staffers had a unique name for them.

“Cast members call these high-strung women the Lornettes,” the magazine reported.

Sean Connery, James Bond star, dies at 90: 'One of the true greats of cinema'

Sean Connery, most famous for his portrayal of James Bond, has died at the age of 90, his family said Saturday. The actor, who played 007 in seven movies starting with 1962's Dr. No, died in his sleep in the Bahamas. The actor had been "unwell for some time," his son Jason told the BBC.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Connery had an acting career that spanned decades and included multiple award-winning performances. He won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his work in The Untouchables in 1988 and won three Golden Globes. He also starred opposite Harrison Ford in 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which he played Jones' father.

"Is that what cancel culture's devolved to?" Why everyone is talking about James Corden.

In recent months, the tide has really turned on James Corden.

The late night TV host and Gavin & Stacey actor is best known as a self-deprecating funny Brit - and the guy who does Carpool Karaoke.

But for a while now, there have been mutterings that Corden is not 'nice'.

Does this sound familiar? Earlier in 2020, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres faced severe criticism following a raft of allegations from past employees about how her kindness was a front.

First, let's back up a little to past allegations.

In his homeland, Corden was painted as ungrateful and entitled, especially after moaning about Gavin & Stacey not being nominated for the 2008 best comedy BAFTA award.

There are articles about Corden's perceived attitude floating around from 2017, and in 2010 there was commentary about a very awkward, very public run in he had with Sir Patrick Stewart.

Why Does Blood Look So Strange in Old Horror Movies?

George Romero’s classic 1978 horror film Dawn of the Dead begins in a state of high panic. A sequel to Night of the Living Dead, Romero’s 1968 film that introduced the zombie as we now know it, Dawn’s first scenes find the zombie apocalypse already in progress. After opening on a Philadelphia TV station that’s descended into chaos—and where a public health expert repeats, in vain, the safety protocols that might have prevented the zombie pandemic—the film shifts to a housing project that’s moments away from being raided. Now a hotbed of undead infection, the building’s mostly Black and Latinx residents, understandably distrustful of authorities, have refused to give up their dead.

What follows establishes just how graphic the violence in the film will be, first with an exchange of gunfire then with a showstopping moment from makeup-and-effects wizard Tom Savini: a zombie’s head exploding after ending up on the receiving end of a shotgun blast. It’s horrific but, like the gunplay that precedes it, just a glimpse of the resulting gore. Then the camera lingers, however, and when a woman rushes to embrace her undead husband and he takes bites from her flesh, her blood flows in abundance. Only … the bright fluid that gushes from her doesn’t look much like blood.

“James Corden and Lorne Michaels are screwed! They’re trembling in their fucking boots,” he added.
