Quiveration Okay but I DID see him first The LaineyGossip offices have descended into chaos recently, as Lainey and Kathleen have been hitching onto my Sebastian Stan train like a couple of old timey hobos, and it’s not that I mind them finally catching on, it’s just that I want all the credit for spotting him By Sarah • Apr 27, 2018 11:12 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Avengers: Infinity War is Marvel at its best and worst Avengers: Infinity War is the beginning of the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we’ve known it for a decade. It’s the culmination of ten years of storytelling, bringing together heroes from across the universe, uniting Avengers and Guardians and everyone in between.

Girlcrushes Make Okoye Proud Society Remember in Harry Potter when Hermione founded SPEW? Well, I want to found an organization with a funny acronym and that is MOPS, the Make Okoye Proud Society.

Movie Reviews and Previews Aquaman is rumbling Aquaman is Warner Brothers only live-action superhero movie this year, so there is a lot of pressure on it to perform during the holiday box office season, especially since Justice League disappointed all expectations. To that end, Aquaman was a centerpiece of Warners’ presentation at CinemaCon yesterday. Director James Wan By Sarah • Apr 25, 2018 12:18 pm
Child Stars Macaulay Culkin returns, kind of We don’t often talk about Macaulay Culkin—and I prefer it that way— but recently he’s been out in public, doing things and saying stuff. This week he was on Ellen DeGeneres, and last month he popped by The Tonight Show, tolerating questions about Home Alone and his By Sarah • Apr 25, 2018 09:33 am
Bad Style Chris Hemsworth: Demoted Chris For many of us, Chris Hemsworth hovers near the top of the Chris Rankings, but he has been (temporarily) demoted after his appearance at the Infinity War premiere. He wore what is a pretty standard look for him: Bland suit with an open-collar shirt unbuttoned one button too low, and By Sarah • Apr 24, 2018 01:08 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews ScarJost is red carpet official The first draft of this post was about Scarlett Johansson’s ever-growing back tattoo, and my defense, as someone who has tattoos, of what looks like a theme piece growing on her back. BUT THEN SHE PULLED OUT THE JOST. And the tattoos went in the electrical garbage can. Yes, By Sarah • Apr 24, 2018 12:35 pm
Quiveration It’s Taika Time! with bonus Paul Rudd Taika Waititi, as far as we know, is not directing another Marvel movie. He directed the third installment in Chris Hemsworth’s reign as Thor, and unless Hemsworth renegotiates, he’ll be done after Avengers 4 next year, so it’s not like there’s already another Thor movie in By Sarah • Apr 24, 2018 11:28 am
Movie Reviews and Previews T’Challa power naps Chadwick Boseman rolled up to the Infinity War premiere as the reigning Marvel champ.

Movie Reviews and Previews Taron Egerton is Elton John Elton John is finally getting the biopic treatment, and as a sign of some goodness remaining in the universe, Justin Timberlake is not going to portray him. The movie is called Rocket Man (for now), and it will star charm machine Taron Egerton as Elton John. The project originally centered By Sarah • Apr 20, 2018 03:15 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jon Hamm in Beirut Beirut is a period piece political thriller that doesn’t need to be period and is weirdly unconcerned with how its politics read in 2018. With a script by Tony Gilroy (of the Bourne franchise, Rogue One’s infamous reshoots, and, most importantly, THE CUTTING EDGE), and directed by Brad By Sarah • Apr 20, 2018 12:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans picks up the slack Chris Evans is currently on Broadway, which means he is excused from most of the Avengers: Infinity War press. (He is expected at the premiere on Monday, which means he will still be rocking That Mustache. He’s going to look like that at the Avengers premiere.) But! A Marvel By Sarah • Apr 20, 2018 10:27 am
