I like to imagine there’s an alternate reality where The Terminator turned Linda Hamilton into the blockbuster-fronting action star she always deserved to be. What a nice reality that must be.

Fortunately, in this reality, Hamilton is set to return to the role of Sarah Connor in an as-yet-untitled sequel to James Cameron’s sci-fi classic from 1984. And today brings our first official look at Hamilton-as-Connor.

In the newly released photo below, you can see Hamilton decked out in her “I’m gonna go f*ck up a Terminator” duds. She’s joined in the image by a pair of (equally menacing) series newcomers: Natalia Reyes (left) as Dani Ramos and Mackenzie Davis (center) as “Grace.” Read more…

A little over 10 months after the Harvey Weinstein revelations brought #MeToo to the fore, we’re finally seeing films set to tackle workplace sexual harassment take shape.

According to a report in Variety, Nicole Kidman is “in talks” to play former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson in a yet-to-be-titled Annapurna film about the women who brought down Fox News titan Roger Ailes.

This post is part of Hard Refresh, a soothing weekly column where we try to cleanse your brain of whatever terrible thing you just witnessed on Twitter.

In times of crisis, I turn to ancient gelatinous Cnidarians to soothe my soul. 

They call these creatures “jellyfish.” As the victim of multiple jellyfish attacks, I prefer to ogle them from a remove, either from behind an aquarium glass wall, or failing that, a computer screen.

Not to be too “old man yells at cloud,” but I realized the other day that the average freshman entering college this fall probably has no idea what it’s like to not have any song they want to hear available within moments.

These lucky individuals will never know the torment of waiting half an hour for one 30-second clip of the new Weezer single to load over that 28.8k modem connection, praying no one calls to interrupt the transfer so you can finally — finally — hear that sweet music that sounded like it was played through a bad AM radio dropped down a running garbage disposal.
