• Stephen King's books are a cultural icon, and there have been plenty of movies (and shows) made based on them. This weekend is the premiere of the remake of It, and in that spirit, Vulture has a list of every Stephen King movie, ranked from worst to best.


• The fabulous Michelle Pfeiffer has a lot going on in 2017, including starring with Jennifer Lawrence in mother!, as well as Murder on the Orient Express, and ultimately, returning to comic book films by way of Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp. Check out this great interview with the serene veteran actress via Time.

• Here's a bit of news from SDCC this weekend that brought some personal squuueeee to me: Michelle Pfeiffer was cast in Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp as Janet van Dyne, the original Wasp and mother of Hope. That sound you're hearing is me fangurling out.  

For today's musical hit, we have Andra's "Love Can Save It All"
