Cupid Dating

David Fincher's 2014 psychological thriller "Gone Girl" is a simple story: a wife goes missing and her husband becomes a person of interest in the investigation. It's a tale that depicts love, revenge and the deep-rooted insecurities that result from capitalism's reinforcement of gendered illusions. Quite formulaic, really. Andrew Burke-Stevenson Amy Dunne is a relatable character for many female viewers. She eats hot dogs and chugs beer. She's probably at least a Veteran in Call of Duty. And on top of all that, she's hot. She's a cool girl. Well, except for the part where she admits she's not. Everyone knows the iconic speech. If you don't, it's probably hanging on one of your female friend's bedroom walls.  The truth is she's playing a character of herself formatted to be the perfect wife for Nick Dunne, who is of course, painfully average. But this dissection of the unreasonable societal expectations set for wome...

Madness is coming. A Valentine's Day card from Joker director Todd Phillips could not be more perfect for fans, as he shared a first look at Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, who will join Joaquin Phoenix's Joker in the upcoming sequel. The first look, which is already loaded with some madness-for-two vibes, has already sparked a number of fan theories, one of which sounds completely plausible. According to Twitter user buggy_con , the upcoming Joker sequel, titled Folie à Deux, could be a Harley Quinn origin story. "I think Joker 2 will take place entirely from the perspective of Harley. Like we see from her eyes how she gets turned into Harley. How Joker manipulates her and swoons her over into his way of thinking [till] the end and the two of them are causing some mayhem," the theory author said. Given that the first film was devoted entirely to establishing Arthur Fleck as the Joker, the upcoming musical sequel might as well turn its attentio...

via Dimension Films If you're going to craft a sequel to a horror comedy that was so over the top it bordered on the ridiculous, and then slap an even more preposterous suffix onto the end, then there are a set of expectations that demand to be met. For better or worse, Piranha 3DD made the grade and then some. Alexandre Aja's remake of the cult favorite upped the ante when it came to sun, sea, sand, sex, and blood, which proved to be a recipe for success after it tore strips off the box office and ended up winning surprising levels of acclaim given its wildly excessive nature and penchant for turning the dial up to 11, then leaving it stuck there. via Dimension Films That put the pressure on John Gulager's follow-up to raise the bar even higher than ever before, and while that's exactly what happened, the charm had worn off. Piranha 3DD earned $75 million less from theaters than its predecessor, and reviews took a plummet from a great height as w...

There's an absurd statistic that makes the rounds online every once in a while that 6% of American men think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight. O'Shea Jackson Jr., one of the stars of the new film Cocaine Bear   — a horror-thriller-comedy about a black bear who consumes a lot of cocaine and rampages through a Georgia forest — is not part of that 6%, and he told SYFY WIRE that he'd really like to avoid a circumstance like that, actually.  "Going against a bear, one-on-one, hand-to-hand combat? It's not what I would categorize as a 'Blacktivity,' Jackson said. "It's not something I will ever be in the market to do. I'm cool. Give me my Lakers and my air conditioning."

Even after all this time, Corbin Bleu says the High School Musical cast is still family. While speaking to PEOPLE about PBS' Black Broadway: A Proud History, A Limitless Future , the new special he's starring in, Bleu reflects on the hit Disney Channel franchise that helped launch his career. "I don't think that I fully understood its impact, until later on in life," the 34-year-old actor says of the films. "A lot of us were in our teenage years, we were just having a great time. We worked hard, we were hungry. We were giving everything, all of our body to this project, which I do think is a major factor towards its success." Bleu says that he really began to appreciate the project later in life after hearing fans reflect on how much the movies meant to them growing up. "I have the people that I look up to. I have the people that when I see them or I hear their voice, it gives me that boost of, 'I can do this, ...

EXCLUSIVE : Sony Pictures and 21 Laps have enlisted Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari ( Ant-Man and the Wasp ) as the screenwriters for their buzzy feature Gnomes , based on the breakout horror short from Dutch filmmakers Richard Raaphorst and Ruwan Heggelman, which remains in early development following Sony's acquisition of film rights earlier this month, in a competitive situation. Details as to the plot of the feature, to be directed by Heggelman, are under wraps. But the original film helmed by Heggelman watches as a girl stumbled into the territory of a killer gnome tribe while out on her daily run, finding herself in grave danger after being lured in by its mysterious glowing mushrooms.

Raaphorst served as ...

Good news: we are finally about to make it through the dead of winter. Bad news: those springtime showers and allergies might keep you inside anyway. Fortunately, there's a ton of new TV shows and movies to binge on Netflix, including the second installment of You Season 4, which recently left fans hanging with a midseason finale. Speaking of hanging, The Hangover trilogy is about to land in the Netflix back library, and never forget that this is where two talented souls (the Joker director Todd Phillips and the Chernobyl creator/ The Last Of Us showrunner Craig Mazin) made their early bread and butter. As well, Chris Rock is about to launch a new kind of comedy special on this streaming service, and lovers of high fantasy and true crime can also get their fix with fresh selections. Here's everything coming to (and leaving) Netflix in March. [embedded content] Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (Netflix standup special streaming 3/4) Chris Rock has "got to pl...

Lucas Henkel HBI International, the Arizona-based manufacturer and distributor of rolling papers like RAW, Elements and Juicy Jays, has been ordered by a federal court in Illinois to stop making false claims about the RAW company, its products and associated charity organization. There's a lot going on here, so I'm going to break it down.   First things first: for those unfamiliar with RAW's packaging, almost every product, from rolling paper booklets to prerolled cones, has a stamp that boldly claims it's made in Alcoy, Spain, known as the birthplace of rolling papers. There isn't a lot of information online about exactly where in Alcoy RAW's products are produced, or if they're actually made in Spain at all. The court stated HBI may not promote, sell, distribute, ship or deliver products from RAW or its other brands in packaging that includes an Alcoy stamp. The court also prohibited RAW from making any more c...

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Tinder and other dating apps have come to define modern dating, and notoriously so. Users download the Tinder app to their phones or other devices and can then view the profiles of potential dates nearby. If they think someone might be a match, they swipe to the right on their touchscreens to show interest. If the other person swipes right too, a chat can begin, which might lead to an in-person meeting. This initial introduction involves minimal information—a photo and some basic details about yourself. The result is that romance and trust are sometimes assumed to be missing from the dating process. Added to this are fears of harassment and scams as well as uninspirational (and often sexually aggressive) Tinder opening lines like, "Wow, your clothes would look great bundled on m...
