While their behavior seemed bizarre to observers, the Gibbons sisters fostered a creative life together, often in their shared bedroom, in which they made art, staged plays with handmade dolls and toys, and dreamed up stories and songs. While both of them wrote several works of fiction, only June’s full-length novel, The Pepsi-Cola Addict, actually saw print through a vanity publisher (although fewer than 10 original copies reportedly exist). As they grew older, and were influenced by American boys in their neighborhood to delve into drugs and alcohol, they embarked on a string of petty crimes that eventually led them to commitment in England’s notorious Broadmoor Hospital, where they remained—unjustly, in the view of many—for more than a decade and descended into mental and physical illness....

Coming off Sunday’s airing of Fear the Walking Dead’s 7A midseason finale, AMC’s long-running post-show, Talking Dead, paid tribute to concluded spinoff The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and touted a mystery guest, who turned out to be a remote-appearing Kim Dickens. However, the former Fear headliner wasn’t there to reminisce about her starring run, and came right out with the announcement for which fans have been waiting for three-and-half years, stating “Madison is back....

But what if we were wrong? What if the characters we thought we knew and understood were all a lie, secretly using their positions in the public trust to launch a world-dominating attack? That’s the central hook of Secret Invasion, a long-in-development Disney+ series that may have major repercussions for the MCU. The First Invasion As is often the case, the series takes its name from a previously published Marvel comic book....

Her latest role in Space Jam: A New Legacy adds another beloved title to her resume.

With recent mass shootings in three states—California, Ohio, and Texas—still fresh, the current occupant of the White House and his allies jumped all over the film sight unseen, with President Donald Trump declaring it a “liberal fantasy” designed to “inflame and cause chaos.” The echo chamber effect of those words, combined with the sensitivity over the shootings, led an uneasy Universal to pull the film from its schedule and possibly consign it to permanent limbo....

Among The Mandalorian‘s many influences, at the top of the list is the classic Star Wars trilogy which started it all. Showrunner Jon Favreau, executive producer Dave Filoni, and the rest of the team have done a great job of incorporating lore from every era of the Star Wars saga in ways that make sense. Folding in elements fans know from A New Hope, for example, adds to the show’s sense of groundedness, showing us the weathered sci-fi locations that George Lucas made a staple of Star Wars while also picking up several loose threads unresolved after Return of the Jedi....

However, you want to duplicate the values and not the formula....

Minecraft is a strange-looking world of creativity loved by millions of users. This game restricts you to nothing except your imagination. You can play this in four single-player modes: Survival, Creative, Adventure, Spectator, and Hardcore. However, this game is renowned for its multiplayer (PVP) mode, which is played on Minecraft servers, like Hypixel Network. But the vanilla gameplay may not be to everyone’s taste. It’s kind of bland, suffers from low frame rates, and is aesthetically unappealing....

Bury Your Gays: A History aka When Queer Stories Don’t Include Happiness “Bury Your Gays” is the narrative trope that sees queer characters killed off at a disproportionate rate, often but not always in the service of furthering a straight lead characters’ storyline.
