‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Director Said He Had “No Idea” Lola Bunny Redesign Would Cause Backlash
Malcolm Lee, director of Space Jam: A New Legacy has officially commented on the outrage for Lola Bunny’s redesign. The filmmaker recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly in regards to a “super weird” conversation surrounding a change to the oversexualized 1996 version of Lola Bunny. He said, “I had no idea that people would be that up in arms about a bunny not having boobs. Listen, I understand people don’t want things to change, but I think we needed some evolution with her, not by objectifying her but by making her strong and still feminine.” He adds, “And, yes, we had all these other women who were like, ‘Oh, you can’t be strong and have big boobs?!’ Sure you can, but we’re talking about a cartoon bunny, not women!” In the same interview, Zendaya, who voiced Lola Bunny in the new film,...

Cuffed Up Deliver Gut-Punching New Song ‘Canaries’
“Canaries” is the guitar-pounding new single by Los Angeles-based post-punk band, Cuffed Up, led by their Fender-slinging vocalist, Sapphire Jewell. The music video, which she directed, is grainy and off-kilter — just like the song. [embedded content] “The nature of the beast, you choose to say the least,” Jewell sings tremulously over the crooked chaos provided by her bandmates, Ralph Torrefranca, Joe Liptock, and Vic Ordonez. “‘Canaries’ is about going down a path that you know is wrong, yet you keep going because some form of shame is driving you,” the band said in a statement. “Sometimes we become numb to the burdens we carry.” If the song reminds you of Nineties hardcore/grunge, it’s because it was produced by one of the decade’s musical architects, Brad Wood. Cuffed Up’s manager, Bla...
