We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including Star Trek: Discovery, The Flash, Empire and The Blacklist!
1 | As emotional as Once Upon a Time‘s “Regina awakening” scenes were, did the show not really give us that “moment” of her laying familiar eyes on grown Henry?
2 | Were you pleased to hear that Hawaii Five-0‘s Steve is apparently still dating Lynn? Or do you wonder where he and Danny find the time to maintain their respective romances, given their Five-0 jobs,...

I think it’s safe to say that I wasn’t the only fan of Arrow who was extremely happy to see Manu Bennett return as Slade Wilson in season 5’s finale. Having capably played the mercenary as both ally and nemesis to Oliver Queen throughout the show’s first two seasons, he’s undoubtedly been one of the more memorable actors to have come through the door.
That being said, it’s doubly exciting to hear that Deathstroke will be a recurring character in season 6, with a two-part arc set to be devoted to him. And with flashbacks reportedly being said to be key to that thread, it stands to reason that we may very well gain some insight into Slade’s family.
As you may recall, Oliver promised to help Wilson find his son in the concluding episode of season 5, something that we fully expect to pay off in the coming year.

A bill introduced in Congress this week that would establish right-to-work laws throughout the country was blasted today by the leaders of the WGA East, which said its intent is to "wipe out" unions. Right-to-work laws, which exist in about half the states, allow workers the right not to belong to unions – or to pay union dues – at companies covered by union contracts. A federal law offered by Rep. Steve King (R-ny) and Joe Wilson (R-sc) would extend those laws in all 50…...

Don’t mess with the one-armed man — did you know that at 56 years, Spencer Tracy could whup Ernest Borgnine to a frazzle? John Sturges knocked this one out of the ballpark and booted his career into high gear. It’s well remembered… but does anyone remember that the subject is the murder of a Japanese-American? It’s a combo social issue film And a tough guy western.

Savant uncovers the true, hidden ending to this Fritz Lang masterpiece. The moral outrage of Lang's searing attack on lynch terror hasn't dimmed a bit -- with his first American picture the director nails one of our primary social evils. MGM imposed some re-cutting and re-shooting, but it's still the most emotionally powerful film on the subject.

My usual questions as I get ready for a film festival are whether we’ll be able to sell out the show and how the audience and local press will react. Preparing for the Beijing Queer Film Festival last September, I had a different sort of concern: would I be able to show our film without being arrested? The festival had invited me, my partner Joe Wilson and our main character, Hina Wong-Kalu, to screen Kumu Hina, a documentary about Hina’s life as a highly regarded native Hawaiian teacher and cultural leader who just happens to be māhū, or transgender.

June is Lgbt Pride Month, and this weekend is the culmination of Pride events in NYC. Recognizing this, Indiewire's latest curated Documentaries page for Hulu presents five films exploring the diversity of the Lgbt experience. Watch all these docs for free now! "Out in Silence" After filmmakers Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer place their wedding announcement in Joe's rural hometown's newspaper, they inspire both a controversy and a desperate plea for help from a recently outed and now bullied teen. "Out in the Silence" follows the duo as they return to Oil City, Pa, to try to help the boy and find common ground with their opponents. "The Brandon Teena Story" Sadly, Brandon Teena didn't have this kind of support in rural Nebraska. In 1993, Teena - a female to male transgender - was discovered "passing" as a boy and murdered. Susan Muska and Greta Olafsdottir's "The Brandon Teena...

Still from Out in the Silence When popular 16-year-old jock Cj Springer is brutally attacked for coming out at his small town high school, his mother Kathy reaches out for help to the only openly gay man she knows of - native son and filmmaker Joe Wilson - whose same-sex wedding announcement she saw in the local paper. Returning home with camera in hand, Wilson documents the harrowing but ultimately successful efforts of Cj and his mom. As the focus widens to include the entire community, Out in the Silence provides a fascinating and moving commentary on America's culture war. Out in the Silence will have its NYC premiere at the Tribeca Cinemas Doc Series on June 28. Directors Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer share their story with us below.
