N*Sync is Finally Getting Their Star on the Walk of Fame!  Here’s Why We Love Them
Most of us know of the popular, yet sadly dissolved, boy band N*Sync.  Formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995, the boy band consisted of former “New MMC” Mouseketeers Justin Timberlake (just 14 years old at the time) and JC Chasez as well as members Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.  After their introduction to the world, teens around the world basically exploded with love of the boys. Though there was the constant argument over who was better, Backstreet Boys or N*Sync, we all knew who the clear winner was.  Backstreet Boys didn’t stand a chance! On March 20, 2018, it was announced that this legendary boy band would finally be getting the recognition they deserve: receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on It’s Gonna Be May Day, April 30, 2018.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we here at ALNM would like to share the reasons why we love N*Sync (in no particular order).

The boys broke the internet with this famous meme that is annually tweeted out by former member, Lance Bass.

What We're Looking Forward To This Year

Film

Christina: The Marvel Cinematic Universe. 
​In February we get Black Panther, which every trailer and ad gets me more and more excited for.  We already know Chadwick Boseman is great in the role, and I cannot wait to see what he does leading up an all star cast.  In May we get Avengers: Infinity War.  You can easily argue that this is the movie MCU has been building up to since its inception in 2008.  In fact, the movie is being released only two days after the ten year anniversary of the first Iron Man movie.  We'll also be receiving Ant-Man and the Wasp in July.  With all this and Captain Marvel on the horizon, it could be a spectacular year for Marvel fans.  Just please please please let all my favorite characters survive.
Kelly: Solo: A Star Wars Story 
​This movie has been off to a rocky start ever since it was announced, but I still hold out hope for this origin story about one of my favorite characters of all time.  The Corellian smuggler with smoldering good looks (thanks to a young Harrison Ford) may not seem like he deserves his own origin story.  Some might argue that he's not a Jedi nor an Imperial officer and therefore does not play as important of a role in the Star Wars saga as some other characters do.  Why should he get an origin story before Obi-Wan Kenobi or Yoda? But he becomes a captain of the Rebellion troops and an integral part of the story as soon as Obi-Wan and Luke sit down at his booth in the Mos Eisley Cantina.  Alden Ehrenreich has some pretty big shoes to fill.  Little is known about the movie thus far, especially because it has initially been received quite poorly with test audiences and has had three directors, finally ending on the legendary Ron Howard.  With a cast that includes Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Paul Bettany, and Thandie Newton, Han Solo fans around the world will gather in cinemas to see if the film is as great as Poe Dameron in a X-Wing or crashes and burns like a Stormtrooper on a Speeder Bike.

Television

Christina: Doctor Who
​I cannot wait to see Jodie Whittaker take control of the TARDIS as the first female incarnation of the Doctor.  With new companions and new showrunners, this could be a fantastic fresh start for the 55 year old show.
Kelly: The Handmaid's Tale, Season 2
I binged the first season after its sweep at the Emmy's last September and a push from my cousin who works at Hulu and was immediately sucked into the world of Gilead.  I have gotten a few of my friends into the show (Christina not included), but I am so excited that not only did they win at the Golden Globes a few weeks ago, but they also announced their Season 2 premiere date.  Praise be!  The Handmaid's Tale returns in April.

Other

Christina: A continuing growth in representation for women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community in fandom.  It's been proven time and time again that a straight white male protagonist is not the key ingredient to success.  Let's make sure movie and television studios recognize this in 2018.  
Kelly: This may sound a little too personal, but with all that I have been through the last couple years with my health and regaining control of my life after life-saving transplants, the thing that I'm most looking forward to in 2018 is making a comeback.  I've struggled a lot in my life and I feel like this year, I'm feeling better than I ever have.  This is going to be my comeback year!  Here's to 2018!

Star Wars Questions I Still Need Answered

One of the most frustrating things about Star Wars: The Last Jedi for me as a fan was that I felt I left the theater with more questions than answers.  It may make for good storytelling, but the nerd in me was freaking out and already craving fix-it fanfiction.  Here are my top ten questions in no particular order:
  • If Snoke was manipulating the bond between Rey and Kylo Ren, did he really see the truth about her parents?  Or was that just more Snoke manipulation?
  • Speaking of, I still want to know Snoke's backstory.  Who was he?
  • Poe Dameron grew up in the Rebel Alliance.  Did he grow up knowing the Ben Solo and all the other Solos/Skywalkers?
  • Is the fact the Ben Solo became Kylo Ren common knowledge?
  • What is Lando up to these days?
  • How did Maz Kanata get Luke's lightsaber?
  • Who are the Knights of Ren?  Are they still around?
  • The prequels set up a storyline of Obi-Wan Kenobi learning about Force ghosts from Qui-Gon Jinn while in the deserts of Tatooine.  Are we ever going to learn more about this, or are we just assuming it went well?
  • What happened to all the Resistance fights we know and love from The Force Awakens?  Did Jessika Pava survive?  Snap Wexley?
  • What happened to the Stormpilot jacket?  Was it destroyed on Snoke's ship, or did Finn leave it on the ship they stole from Canto Bight?
