We’ve eagerly awaited the chance to see Carol Danvers suited up, but once I saw Brie Larson’s hair, it was impossible to think about anything else.The upcoming Captain Marvel will take place in the ’90s, and as such, it makes sense that its star would be sporting the most iconically ’90s look of them all: the Rachel. The Rachel defined a generation more than babydoll dresses and clear backpacks ever could. In a hundred years, all characters in period pieces set in the ’90s will be required to sport the Rachel, regardless of gender or hair length.Originally seen on Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green on the sitcom Friends in 1995, the layered haircut proved to be so popular that it leaped from the screen and into hair salons everywhere. “It became a star in its own right,” explained People‘s Jess Cagle. “Today, Jennifer Aniston’s haircut would have its own Twitter feed.”If today’s Rachel haircut … [Read more...] about Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel Has the Same Haircut We All Had in the ’90s

Super Cat: Ryan Coogler and Chadwick Boseman put ‘Black Panther’ in the Marvel spotlight

It’s a consolidated studio of a few folks who love telling stories well and making movies. I pitched them something very personal and what in many ways could be seen as risky. They were all for it.”Personal storytelling is a guiding principle for Coogler, who mined his relationship with his own father when he made Creed. “It’s the only way I know how to make movies. It’s a difficult art form and not an exact science. You’re following your instinct and trying your best until … [Read more...] about Super Cat: Ryan Coogler and Chadwick Boseman put ‘Black Panther’ in the Marvel spotlight

Golden Globes: Rachel Brosnahan Wins Best Actress for ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’
Rachel Brosnahan took home her first Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in TV series, comedy or musical on Sunday night for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The actress beat out Pamela Adlon (Better Things), Alison Brie (Glow), Issa Rae (Insecure) and Frankie Shaw (SMILF). During her acceptance speech, Brosnahan, visibly nervous, explained that her brain was "scrambled eggs," but was quick to express gratitude over playing a "brilliant" and "bold" woman. And she directed attention to the women whom stories "deserve to be told." "This is a story about a bold and brilliant and complicated woman, and I am so endlessly proud to be a part of it, but there are so many women's stories out there that still need and deserve to be told," the first-time Golden Globe winner said. "So as we enter into this new year please let's continue to hold each other accountable and invest in and champion and make these stories."Seth Meyers hosted the 75th annual Golden … [Read more...] about Golden Globes: Rachel Brosnahan Wins Best Actress for ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’
