Columbus, OH

There's no question that The Acolyte stands as one of the Star Wars franchise's most problematic projects to date.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

A good Captain in Star Trek is the embodiment of the ideals of the Federation. Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) came first, so he set the standard. He taught all of us Trekkers what it means to believe in this future: standing up to bigotry, treating everyone as equals, and always helping when possible. Equality in Star Trek is not leaving the less fortunate to suffer; it is lifting each other up so that they, too, can go forward and lift others.

Steven Spielberg, who hurt you? Who denied you a smooch in your elementary school days that turned a corner of your heart black and made you hate kissing? If there was ever a movie that felt like it needed more kissing, it’s the recently released Twisters starring Glen Powell, a man who could have chemistry with a plank of wood, and Daisy Edgar-Jones, a woman whose breakout role in Normal People was both romantic and sexy.

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. Most science fiction movie franchises that get past six films are fairly impressive. Way back before the MCU blew up in 2012 or the Star Wars sequels began in 2015, sci-fi film franchises generally didn’t get into the double-digits. In fact, the seemingly immortal Planet of the Apes franchise just now released its 10th film overall. Star Wars has 11 theatrical films, but five of those all came out in the last nine years. This summer, the Alien franchise will release its ninth film in very fragmented continuity, which funnily enough, has the subtitle Romulus, a term that was arguably popularized by the scrappiest science fiction franchise of them all — Star Trek.

The Simpsons boasts some of the most iconic characters in animation history, and they're not all nice. Actors often talk about how much fun it is to let loose with a character who has few moral boundaries, and writers also get to stretch their creativity with such ridiculously (dare one say, cartoonishly) corrupt characters as Mr. Burns and Sideshow Bob. Not only do they allow for certain extravagant plots with high stakes, but they're also fantastic for parodying other franchises and people.
