Only a Third of Americans Want to Return to Movie Theaters in 2020: Survey
While Hollywood is adamant on getting theaters re-opened, Americans don’t exactly share that sentiment. According to a new poll conducted by The Hollywood Reporter, only a third of Americans say they’d go see a movie in 2020. The publication, in conjunction with global data intelligence company Morning Consult, surveyed 2,200 people from June 26th to June 29th. Ultimately, their findings reveal a country that’s much too hesitant on returning to theaters. As the report indicates, 65% of Americans are “very unlikely” to return to theaters immediately with 35% writing off the experience altogether in 2020. In fact, 19% wouldn’t change their minds even if masks are required. However, half of those Americans say they would return within the first few months of 2021. And not surprisingly, t...
Hear Soccer Mommy’s Spacey Cover of the Cars’ ‘Drive’
Soccer Mommy adds a psychedelic touch to the Cars’ “Drive” with her new cover of the 1984 song. The recording, which caps off the Soccer Mommy & Friends Singles Series, finds Sophie Allison’s voice swimming over atmospheric, droning guitars and muted electronics. The flip-side of the track, available to stream at Bandcamp, is SASAMI’s acoustic rendition of System of a Down’s “Toxicity.” The net profits from the series will benefit Oxfam’s COVID-19 relief fund and National Bail Out, fighting both the coronavirus and police brutality/systemic racism. An anonymous Oxfam donor will match each dollar raised up to $5,000. “I’m really glad to get to release this cover of ‘Drive,’” Allison said in a statement. “It’s a song I’ve loved for a long time that I started covering pretty recentl...

Gucci Mane Apologizes For Calling His Record Label “Racist”
Source: Prince WIlliams / Prince Williams/ATLPics.net Just a few weeks after Gucci Mane expressed his displeasure with his label, Atlantic Records, and suggested that the staff’s racism was pushing him out the door, the “Coca Coca” rapper has changed his tune and is walking back his controversial comments. After saying his label staff were “crackers police racist” and asked fans whether or not he should go the independent route, Gucci took to Twitter today to not only announce he wasn’t leaving Atlantic Records, but also apologized for slandering (or calling out?) anyone working in their offices. I’m not going independent but so respect those who go that route I apologize for my rude harsh language lately I’m a do better #1017/Atlantic 🥶 — Gucci Mane (@gucci1017) July 1, 2020 The t...
Racist President Trump Flips His Lacefront Over Black Lives Matter Street Painting
Source: NurPhoto / Getty President Donald Trump has a nationwide pandemic and a crumbling economy on his hands during an election year, but he’s focusing on matters that show his true colors. Via Twitter, the former business mogul went on a covertly racist rant and misframed the Black Lives Matter movement after railing against the painting of the slogan on a New York street. We won’t dignify President Trump’s rant by linking to the tweet but since he never deletes the trash he posts, we’ll share it below. The rant was in response to a Black Lives Matter sign to be painted alongside Fifth Avenue near Trump Plaza, prompting the following on Wednesday (July 1). From Trump’s Twitter: NYC is cutting Police $’s by ONE BILLION DOLLARS, and yet the @NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, ye...

Which Challenge Competitor Has The Best Shot At Winning Season 35?
After weeks of unease and enough trips to Purgatory to make Saint Peter weep, The Challenge Season 35 has narrowed its hulking roster down to 11 contestants, each of whom is now eligible to run the game’s final mission. So now that the Red Skulls have been awarded and the Total Madness pirate ship is in motion, the question is: Who’s got the best shot at winning? On the show’s latest episode, and in a double-elimination battle for the ages, Bayleigh and Kyle — who both spent the season avoiding Purgatory — finally got their shots to compete in elimination rounds. And their strategy of waiting until the 11th hour proved to work in their favor: In “Knots of War,” which challenged players to thread a knotted rope through a car that their opponents would have to consequently undo, Bayleigh bes...
MTV Studios To Re-Imagine Clone High
“Say whaaaaaat?” Clone High is back! MTV Studios (part of the Entertainment and Youth Group), a unit of ViacomCBS, announced today that Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller will re-imagine the iconic Clone High television series with Emmy-nominated co-creator Bill Lawrence. It’s time to return to school! Together with MTV and Erica Rivinoja, the trio will reunite to develop and produce new episodes of the animated show, which was widely regarded as a time capsule of the early 2000s with its loving satire and wry parody of emo culture. Rivinoja, who was a writer on the original series will serve as showrunner and will co-write the pilot with Lord and Miller. Like the original, the re-imagined Clone High will explore high school and com...
Orville Peck’s Heartbroken Twang, Jessie Ware’s Sultry Banger, And More Songs We Love
Orville Peck’s latest, a Spotify Singles cover of Bronski Beat’s 1984 ballad about a small-town expat, is the flamboyant country crooner at his finest: mournful, melodramatic, and infectiously catchy. The British synth-pop trio’s masterful storytelling finds a kindred spirit in Peck’s soulful vocals. His entire cover is thick with emotion. When Peck sings, “Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away,” you feel restless in your seat; when he belts, “Cry, boy, cowboy, cry,” you feel the phantom prickle of tears in your eyes. It’s Peck’s rodeo, y’all. We’re all just living in it. —Sam Manzella You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.
