I'm not going to lie...I screened "Eternlals" a couple weeks ago and wasn't too impressed with the story, which was long and felt derivative of other sci-fi films. The cast felt a little bloated, with the biggest stars (Hayek, Jolie) feeling the most expendable. The post-credits (there are two)...

Loena is a prime example of a skater who has put in the work (kinda like Rochette several years back). A few years ago I wasn't sure she'd break through as she didn't have a full and reliable set of triples, but now they're big and consistent. Her performances and placement pleasantly...

You're a mindreader. I was going to post the GPF wipeout but didn't have time to search for the clip. Other times though, it was smooth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIGHEyAfDbk (great landings on all these jumps)

I too was skeptical of Michelle's 3S+3Lo story but I believe she confirmed it in her TSL interview. The 3Lo was always her iffiest triple, though it was pretty solid in the Olympic year. If you look at jumps alone, hers matched Tara's -- 7 triples with a repeated 3Lz and 3Lo (she would do two...

Michelle just spoke at the big #StopAsianHate fundraiser on Clubhouse She spoke eloquently about the surge in anti-Asian hate and discrimination, how hearing Trump use words like "kung flu" and "China virus" further galvanized her work with the Biden campaign. She said the video of the...

I feel like this article could've been written anytime in the last 10 years or so. I absolutely agree with Tony that USFS should be catering more to LGBTQ audiences, i.e. there are two former figure skaters on "Drag Race" this season, for example. You look at the "personalities" who have...

A few thoughts: Maria Butyrskaya looks stunning in white. I preferred this dress to the one she would wear for almost two seasons because watching this back in HD, her arms are utilized really well. She also had some incredibly smooth landings here (it's a miracle she saved that Salchow because...

Completely unrelated, Joey Jay was also a figure skater. For some reason, the show doesn't want his real name out there so I'm going not to name him, but he competed.

Reddit and the fans are going so hard on Kandy that World of Wonder has been posting social media messages like, "If you can't love our queens, STFU" and "kindness is cool" -- multiple messages since the show aired. Of course, fans are calling out their hypocrisy. Kandy is loud and stirs the...

I liked how they did it in S6, when they had one group in episode 1 and episode 2. I did feel bad for the queens who got cut right away but that's how it goes. Unfortunately (major but predictable spoiler) so things will continue to feel drawn out. I don't know if the two groups were...

I actually thought the first episode was average. I miss the celebrity judges; I know it was filmed during the pandemic (some bigger name stars will appear later in the season) but it needed some star power. So in full disclosure, because of my job, there are things I can and cannot discuss...

Let's just say they are VERY protective of the brand and the show. I have had many a phone call with their publicists.

From a press event with Denali today. Someone asked her about how figure skating prepared her for drag: "Fgure skating is the gayest sport in the world," she compared the two. "It has the glitz, the glamour, the athleticism and the drama."

Season 6 is the best, but the most recent Season 12 was also good, because the queens were really talented and interesting.
