Liz Taylor did it; Shirley Temple didn’t. Hayley Mills, Annette Funicello, Lindsey Lohan: the world of acting is filled with those who will forever remain frozen in film in their childhood and teenage states. But there are the successes too: Anna Paquin, Scarlett Johansson, Judy Garland, to name a few. It’s a strange industry, Hollywood, where actors feel the pressure of not being...

It’s got all the classic clichés: an alcoholic coach given his last chance, a bigwig owner with crazy plans, a team full of scrappy farm hands mixing together with city folk, just trying to live...

Suzy Bishop (Or, Another Girl Crush) →
We still have so far to go when it comes to female characters. For every Katniss Everdeen, we get a Bella Swan. It’s disheartening at times. But every once and a while a character comes along that gives me that piece of hope I need to keep pushing and fighting for the complicated, fascinating women on screen I have always admired. Suzy Bishop, of Wes Anderson’s latest movie Moonrise...

Statistical Nightmare →
When I was sixteen, my school had a workshop on sexual choices. It was a half-day off of regular schoolwork for all of the junior class. I had the pleasure of seeing an image of every STD in every place a person could imaginably get one.

I’m kind of wondering if Hawkeye has an easygrab handle on the back of his costume, for when the flying Avengers need to carry him around.

As the saying goes, old habits die hard. In the modern-day, old habits die even harder, especially with information overload and the overwhelming amount of distractions that exist to pull a person’s attention away from a task at hand. Its hard enough to stay focused on self-improvement…
