Disney’s ‘Little Mermaid’ Backlash Has Reached Insane Heights
Disney’s latest live-action remake, The Little Mermaid, has been engulfed in controversy ever since the casting of singer Halle Bailey was announced. While Disney’s tepid remakes always receive criticism from nostalgic fans, this time, the backlash is transparently racist, with all of the negativity aimed at the casting of a non-white actress to play the titular mermaid.

Interstellar vs. Disney’s The Black Hole
I think it’s safe to assume that most of you have at least heard about the film Interstellar. Directed by Christopher Nolan and starred by Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain, the 2014 movie was a hit. Many consider it the best sci-fi movie ever made (thus far). And part of this success is due to the black hole in the movie.

The Rings of Power’s ‘Adar’ gets closer to the ideal Lord of the Rings show
It's fair to say the first two episodes of Amazon Studios’ The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power left me underwhelmed. The approach J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay took to adapting J.R.R. Tolkien’s world in “A Shadow of the Past” and “Adrift” struck me as paradoxically over- and undercooked, with too many plot threads and too few new ideas. Where was the clearly defined quest set against a lived-in world brimming with unexplored new vistas that defined Tolkien’s own work? Waiting just around the corner in the Prime Video series’ third episode, “Adar,” as it turns out.

Why I’m enjoying The Rings of Power more than House of the Dragon
It’s an interesting time for fantasy fans, with two major series airing at the same time. There have been a lot of comparisons between them, and speculation on which would “win”. Of course, there’s no particular reason to see these shows as competitors since a lot of people, like me, will watch both. They’re similar in that they’re both prequels to popular franchises: Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

'Better Call Saul' alum Giancarlo Esposito still wants a Gus prequel
The acclaimed Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul ended its six-season run last month, closing out a tragic saga in the New Mexico desert that captivated viewers for the last decade and a half. Saul creators Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan realize just how fortunate they were to strike golden lightning twice with this franchise — "Sometimes it's good to know when to leave the party," Gould says — and they are fondly waving goodbye to this methed-up story so they can develop other projects.

Child star Jennette McCurdy: ‘It took a long time to realise I was glad my mom died’
In a strange sort of way Jennette McCurdy’s mother, Debra, is getting what she’d always dreamed of: fame. Never mind that the title of her daughter’s memoir is the brilliantly punchy I’m Glad My Mom Died, or that it details Debra’s controlling and abusive ways. “She’d be like: ‘My name’s on a No 1 New York Times bestseller!’” says McCurdy, laughing. “But not recognising: ‘Mom, I don’t know if people are loving you, exactly.’”

Bob Iger Assesses the Streaming Services: “I Don’t Think They’ll All Make It”
In a dog-eat-dog streaming landscape, former Disney CEO Bob Iger knows that only a few services will ultimately survive. Speaking at Vox Media’s Code Conference on Wednesday, Iger was optimistic about the future of Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon and, naturally, Disney+, but was decidedly less so for competitors like Warner Bros.
