The real world is pretty strange right now, and escaping from it, at least temporarily, is absolutely necessary. So why not pay a visit to an even stranger world with a good science fiction movie? Time travel, aliens, robots and more will take people away from politics, international relations and Russian intrigue — at least for a few hours

This movie never gets old, and no one is ever too old to watch it. Steven Spielberg’s film manages to be simultaneously heartwarming and just a little eerie as it tells the story of an alien who befriends a young boy.

In Donald Trump’s America, art is more important than ever

Donald Trump has been elected to the presidency of the United States with virtually no checks or balances. The House of Representatives and the Senate are both in Republican hands. Trump will be able to name at least one, if not more, justices to the Supreme Court. A racist, sexist demagogue will have nearly unlimited power.

So what the hell is the point of arts and entertainment?

It’s tempting at a time like this to withdraw within yourself, to shut everything out and succumb to helplessness. Watching a movie, going to the theater or listening to music feels like a futile exercise right now, an inevitably unsuccessful attempt to escape the storm clouds barreling down upon us.

But as hard as it is to believe right now, the darkest moment in modern American history, art and the artists who create it are more important than ever. They are a voice and a home for the marginalized groups of this country.

After Noah Galvin’s ‘Vulture’ interview, the quality of ‘The Real O’Neals’ may not matter

The Real O’Neals is a dead show walking. That’s not a statement on its quality, though admittedly, the season two premiere that aired Tuesday night isn’t the show’s best effort. Instead, it’s a pessimistic prediction about how much time the show has left.

The premiere episode followed Kenny (Noah Galvin) as he tried to establish an LGBTQ club at his Catholic high school, running into not administrative problems, but a lack of interest from other students. It’s the kind of “Kenny is proud, but must stand alone” story we got a lot of in season one, and you’d think we might go somewhere else this year. Those developments are coming, with Kenny’s first boyfriend on the way, but this premiere was a safe return.

Unfortunately, that’s about all that’s safe about The Real O’Neals these days. In the wake of star Galvin’s June interview with Vulture, in which the young star critiqued and joked about multiple other celebrities, it feels like the ABC sitcom is walking a tightrope — and it’s only getting thinner.
