There is no teen comedy more beloved than Tina Fey's Mean Girls . The 80s had Heathers , the 90s had Clueless , and the 2010s had uhhhh Booksmart ? Edge of Seventeen ??? The downturn of good teen comedies in the 2010s proves that Mean Girls reigns supreme. It's one of the only movies that timelessly captures the emotional turmoil that teenage girls experience daily, and for that, we will forever be grateful. While some might assume that the titular mean girls refer to the plastics, there are so…

It's an improvement

Happy Tuesday, Lord of the Rings fans. How's everyone coping with the heat wave? I, personally, am struggling. And not just with the fact that climate change seems realer than ever. I'm struggling because New York City has been feeling way more like Mordor than some bustling city in the beautiful Northeast. While my office's air conditioning isn't too shabby, I've mainly been coping with the pain with the helpof distractions. And what better way to distract ourselves than with Lord of the Rings…

Star Wars fans have a lot to be thankful for these days. There's the new series The Book of Boba Fett, which we'd been looking forward to since the explosive finale of The Mandalorian's second season. It's already getting great reception from both critics and fans. Then there's the shows we're patiently waiting for, like A Droid Story, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. Even if the world doesn't get fixed by 2023, we'll be set for at least some of our indoor television watching. While we count our blessings a…

When Avatar came out in 2009, we all thought that CGI and visual effects could only improve from there. However, that hasn't necessarily been the case, especially with flicks like Thor: Love and Thunder. The sequel to Thor: Ragnorok has been the subject of criticism for its uncanny and ugly CGI effects. These strange visuals are not merely caused by poor artistry, but they happen because VFX teams are often overworked, and are asked to do more than they can handle given the time constraints. Th…

The newest Baz Luhrmann flick Elvis opened last weekend. While some don't approve of the revisionist history that the film promotes, the movie has generally been well-received so far. One aspect of the film that's gotten some attention on Twitter is the titular character's appearance in the late 70s. Let's just say that right before he died, Elvis looked…different.

Minions have been part of the cultural conversation longer than anyone could've guessed. First debuting in the Steve Carell vehicle Despicable Me in 2010, minions were an instant phenomenon, becoming a merchandising powerhouse comparable to Disney. Minions became the popular subjects of Facebook memes , often featured in relatable image macros for an older demographic. While minions were initially received quite positively, the meme world turned on them in 2015 during the release of their spino…

The PR pros tasked with promoting Barbie have been hard at work, and it seems like that work is paying off. New photos from the set of Greta Gerwig's upcoming film were released this morning, and they are, how you say, colorful. People may have been fawning over the first photos of Ryan Gosling as Barbie's beau, Ken, but this matching neon getup has blown them out of the water. Or, at the very least, rollerbladed over their dead body while giggling in the sunshine.

Marvel Fans vs. Film Bros seems to be a tale as old as time as far as online discourse goes. Every couple of months, this meaningless debate over the correct way to consume media is regurgitated for everyone to gobble up. Despite its repetitiveness, the world can't help but get caught up in the drama once again.

Anybody can be Roger Ebert these days, and it's all because of a little app called Letterboxd. Letterboxd allows movie fans to leave their own reviews without any gatekeeping. These reviews range from extensive, lengthy analyses to short quips. The app has gained massive popularity over the past couple of years, and with that, funny reviews have transcended into memes. The most iconic Letterboxd review that has turned into a meme was a review for Joker (2019), where the reviewer claimed, “This…
