 Bruce Campbell to headline Starz’s ‘Evil Dead’ tv series

Officially titled “Ash Vs. Evil Dead,” the 10-episode series will look in on Ash Williams, “stockboy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead.” However, when a new Deadite plague is set to destroy humanity, Ash needs to get back into gear to take down the undead menace and vanquish his personal demons.

Eminem raps about committing violence against Lana del 

Eminem dropped a new freestyle video on Vevo where he raps that he’ll punch Lana Del Rey “in the face twice, like Ray Rice.”

Yes, the rapper is talking about the Baltimore Ravens running back who was suspended after he was caught on a surveillance camera in an elevator punching his then-fiancée and now-wife Janay Rice earlier this year.

Eminem’s promoting his upcoming Shady Records compilation Shady XV with this track, which has these disturbing lyrics:

But I may fight for gay rights, especially if the dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice / Play nice? Bitch I’ll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance / ’Til her head is banging on the railing, then celebrate with the Ravens.

Gendered and homophobic slurs, as well as talking about committing violence against women?  Fuck you Eminem!

I found a really cool site called DC Women of Color. It’s a tumblr dedicated to Women of Color in DC Comics (whether it’s print, animation, or live-action).  I recommend visiting it (I’m going through the archives at the moment and there’s a lot of cool stuff as well as commentary from the blogger).
