Jessica Jones Costume Designer on Losing the Cape in Favor of Leather & Denim
Krysten Ritter wears jeans for every scene she plays as the star of Netflix series Jessica Jones. Technically a super-hero capable of jumping off skyscrapers and landing on the sidewalk without a scratch, the hard-drinking private eye from Hell’s Kitchen has no patience for the tights/cape/mask routine. Instead, Ritter’s character is dressed by costume designer Elisabeth Vastola in boots, jeans and motorcycle jackets that owe more to Marlon Brando’s iconic Wild One rebel couture than cartoony costumes.

This Avengers: Infinity War TV Spot Has a Ton of Thrilling new Footage
We know what you’re thinking—you figure that when a studio is nearing the release of a film the size of Avengers: Infinity War, they can flood the zone with a ton of new TV spots without actually showing that much new footage. Yet, that hasn’t really been the case with this film, perhaps because of the aforementioned size of it. With a record number of superheroes and a massive, decade-in-the-making battle at its core,
Our Favorite Moments from Chadwick Boseman’s Saturday Night Live Debut
If you don’t want your crush on Chadwick Boseman to turn into a full-fledged obsession, it would be best to avoid his Saturday Night Live performance. The Avengers: Infinity War star looked impeccable in the opening monologue and nailed his jokes, which can be difficult for newbies.

Lord of The Rings is easily one of films largest and most beloved film franchises, and that’s not even touching the surface of how much love we have for the books.

The Brutal Poetry of Lynne Ramsay’s You Were Never Really Here

We pointed out in mid-March that a certain Avenger had been largely absent from all the Avengers: Infinity War promotional materials. A week later, on March 27, a new crop of posters for the film were released, and, again, no Hawkeye. Then the Russo Brothers themselves directly (or, comically) addressed the issue themselves.
