Dave Chappelles Netflix special facing cancellation after trans comments leave critics irate – Fox News

Dave Chappelle's Netflix special is facing cancellation after repeated calls have been made to pull it from the streamer. The comedian landed in hot water on Tuesday, when his sixth installment in his Netflix deal, "The Closer," debuted. In it, Chappelle seemingly spoke out in support of author J.K. Rowling, who came under fire in 2019 when she argued publicly that transgender women are essentially a threat to the gender identity of biological women.  The "Harry Potter" writer, 56, doubled down on several occasions, arguing that trans women are not actually women, prompting swift and immediate backlash from the transgender community as many activists continue to fight to dissuade people of similar negative stereotypes. Rowling was labeled a "TERF," which stands for "trans-exclusionary...

Dunes Final Trailer Sets the Stage for All-Out War – Gizmodo

Paul is comforted by his father Leto.Screenshot: Warner Bros. Yeah, turns out all those soldiers and giant sand worms are gonna be up to something in Denis Villeneuve’s new take on the sci-fi icon. Just now a few weeks away from its release later this month, Warner Bros. has dropped a “final” trailer for Dune. Most of its new footage comes in the way of expanding scenes we’ve already seen—there are longer cuts from Paul (Timothée Chalamet) having a conversation about his dreams of Chani (Zendaya) with Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa), more of Duncan’s big fight scenes, and, of course, ornithopters, ornithopters everywhere. But if there’s a running theme throughout all of this trailer in particular it’s about Paul realizing the danger his father (Duke Leto, played by Oscar Isaac) and his fam...
