Spider-Man 2 Director Acknowledges Sandman Plothole

Spider-Man 2’s director, Bryan Intihar, has acknowledged that Sandman’s inclusion in the sequel is a bit of a plothole thanks to a collectible that could be found in the first game. Despite being packed full of surprising moments, one of the biggest surprises in Spider-Man 2 can actually be found in the first five minutes of the game -the boss battle against Sandman. Not only is it a shock that Insomniac managed to keep Sandman’s inclusion hidden up until launch, but it’s a little bit confusing for anyone who took the time to collect all of Peter Parker’s backpacks in 2018’s Spider-Man....

The 'Cat Person' Trailer Shows That The Movie Might Have Missed The Point Entirely

As a journalist, I’m plugged into all kinds of internet discourse, but as a writer, I’m particularly interested in literary discourse. In 2017, the internet was briefly possessed with an obsession over Kristen Roupenian’s New Yorker short story Cat Person, which ignited conversations about gender, sex, and privilege in relationships. It was one of the first pieces of short fiction to truly go viral. In the story, a 20-year-old college student working at a theatre concession stand begins dating Robert, an older man who’d bought Red Vines from her as a movie snack....
