We've finally come to the end of 2017, which means: lots of under-the-wire Oscar hopefuls! The return of the Bellas! A brand spankin' new Star Wars! Along with the final push of awards contenders (Steven Spielberg! Paul Thomas Anderson! Guillermo del Toro!), viewers can look forward to a pair of biopics about ethically compromised women, two vastly different musicals and the Rock taking on motorcycle-riding warriors and a safari's worth of jungle creatures. Oh, and James Franco giving what may arguably be the single greatest performance of the year. Yes, you read that sentence correctly.

The day The New York Times broke the Harvey Weinstein story, I found myself choking back bile all day.
In the weeks since, it has become resoundingly clear that Weinstein is a virulent serial predator, and has earned whatever hell rains down on him. But Harvey Weinstein isn’t the problem, and bringing him down — while satisfying, necessary, and just — will be far from sufficient if we don’t simultaneously tear down our rotten corporate culture and reckon with our own complicity in propping it up.
As democracy derives its consent from the governed, tyranny derives its consent from the tyrannized. And while it’s long overdue, I no longer consent to being tyrannized.
I wasn’t sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein. I worked with him briefly, consulting on “sex, lies, and videotape,” the film that changed the independent film business, Sundance, and Harvey forever; the film whose prescient title...

Updated with video President Donald Trump gave his first big primetime network interview tonight, and took the opportunity to revisit his old nemeses, the media. Trump told ABC News anchor David Muir that the press covered his CIA speech “very inaccurately” (except for Fox), that the author of the infamous Pew Report is now “groveling” for the media, and that he knows more about terrorism than Muir does. Here’s what the President had to say about the Fourth Estate. Watch…...

Sometime between the publication of the Sundance Film Festival catalog and its premiere on Tuesday, Brian Knappenberger's new documentary Nobody Speak: Hulk Hogan, Gawker and Trials of a Free Press dropped the middle part of its title, added some ominous footage of Donald Trump's inauguration and tried to cement its status as a broader look at the Fourth Estate's jeopardy in a plutocrat-friendly America. Knappenberger, who in earlier docs We Are Legion and The Internet's Own Boy has been able to wrangle subjects with vast ramifications into satisfying feature-length productions, has somewhat less success here, in a film whose ungainly...

Ten weeks before Donald Trump takes the oath of office, the President-elect has sent one consistent message, which is that he won’t be bound by consistency post-election any more than he was before November 8. Depending on your preferred news source, this is either a terrifying prospect or overdue comeuppance for the Fourth Estate. Indeed, even within the mainstream media, the outlook for the next four years is deeply confusing as pundits, reporters and editors…...

Welcome to a month full of an eclectic mishmash of new material: Selma's tackles the question of race in America, the Black Mirror creators return with unnerving new episodes (and bring an older Brit-zombie gem with them); Justin Timberlake turns Netflix into his biggest arena concert ever; and Christopher Guest gets the gang back together for another improv-a-thon. Throw in a couple of pilots, and October's shaping up to be a real grab bag. Enjoy your pumpkin-spiced recommendations.

The Full Frontal host dinged the media for insinuating Clinton had to smile more than opponent Donald Trump if she wanted to come across as a likable, “three-dimensional person” opposite her male opponent. She also mocked CNN for bringing in a “body language expert” on Tuesday to critique the authenticity of Clinton’s grin.

As the talking-head pundits tell it, Hollywood is a modern-day Sodom of left-wing Commie liberalism intent on poisoning our nation's youth and providing national menaces like Lena Dunham with steady work. But a slightly more sober appraisal would reveal that most of the lessons imparted by this year's crop of movies offer distinctly non-partisan wisdom — and act as cautionary tales for the upcoming Presidential election, illustrating the dangers of charlatans and close-mindedness. George Orwell, a guy who knew a thing or two about smuggling political commentary into popular fiction, famously...

Hardcore House of Cards fans who spent the weekend bingeing on all 13 episodes are already hungry for the next chapter in Netflix's drama. Season 3 saw Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) as president, but the Oval Office seemed to sap the power he had wielded so ruthlessly for two seasons. Both parties hated him. Congress sought to block the crown jewel of his tenure, America Works, a program that broke the first rule of politics: leave Social Security alone. Claire (Robin Wright), clawed her way into an ambassadorship only to fumble her plan for peace in the Middle East. Russian president Victor Petrov (Lars Mikkelsen,...

I've sort of just sat back in muted horror all week as a lot of entertainment journalists have finally gotten their moment in the sun, to act like the Fourth Estate in the wake of the Sony hack, to act as if bitchy emails and spreadsheets documenting famous people's salaries somehow equate to The Pentagon Papers. I've read my computer screen, mouth agape, as writers have tried to explain it away as an unprecedented gray area, when all I see is fundamental black and white. The ethical ickiness has been shrill and it's been shrieking. It seems "The Newsroom" creator Aaron Sorkin (no stranger to hot button issues, he) feels similarly. Sorkin wrote the script for an upcoming Steve Jobs biopic that made for much of the early fodder in this mess as it was chewed over in private emails between producer Scott Rudin and Sony co-chair Amy Pascal. Taking...

The third and final season of Aaron Sorkin's walk-and-talk drama The Newsroom will take us back to April 2013, when the event that dominated the news cycle was the Boston Marathon bombing. In the show's trailer, Jeff Daniels's Will McAvoy yells, "He’s hiding in a boat in someone's backyard? I'd like confirmation of that before I say it on TV!" It also looks like another major news story will include an Edward Snowden–style document dump. Everyone is scrambling! This is America's Fourth Estate we're talking about, people! Move! The show returns November 9.

Civil unions come to Malta, judge strikes down Ohio marriage recognition law, Laura Ingraham joins ABC’s This Week
During his remarks at the White House Easter Breakfast, President Obama turned to openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson to ask for the closing prayer, surprising the bishop, who says that his remarks will live on only in memory, because it was entirely off the cuff. Considering an audience of different faiths, it’s hard to imagine the President’s move was apolitical.

Congrats to the Espn vet for coming out to fans and the Facebook-savvy public! To celebrate, let’s discuss our favorite female news-reporting characters from TV and film. I’ve squeezed in a print journalist for the sake of her glamor. Please forgive that.
1. Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox): Scream‘s curt correspondent with the poison pen
As much as I love Scream, Gale Weathers elevates the franchise from “quippy horror romp” to “fabulously quippy horror romp.” She writes callously about the Woodsboro murders, brags to Sidney Prescott about the sales of her book (which is about Sidney’s mother’s death), and even totes a gun. “Guess I didn’t forget the safety that time, you bastard,” she deadpans.
