The Atlantic has released its list of the 10 best books of 2023. The list, titled “The Atlantic 10,” is a roundup of books that not only made The Atlantic editors think, but were also compulsively readable. In an introduction to the list, the editors said, “This year’s selections include a narratively ingenious novel about the human cost of colonialism, a collection of inventive couplets about what it means to be a couple, a probing history of the American dream, and two radically different memoirs of growing up, one a vivid story of encroaching mental illness, the other of intensifying religious zealotry. We were drawn to…

Toho’s Godzilla Minus One has proven to be a big time hit at the United States box office, gobbling up $11 million in its U.S. debut over the weekend and grabbing the record for the all-time highest opening weekend for a Japanese live action movie in U.S. theaters. The film’s U.S. run was only expected to continue through this week, but it’s now getting an expansion. From what we understand, Toho will be keeping Godzilla Minus One in United States theaters at least through December 14, giving you more time to experience this one on the big screen. A throwback…
Avatar 3 is still more than two years away, and while we do know a bit about the film, as far as where on Pandora it will be set, and a few of the new actors joining the Avatar 3 cast, we don’t know what the movie will actually be called. The third Avatar movie doesn’t have an official title, and the one title that had been previously rumored has now been unequivocally shot down, which is probably a good thing.A few years back a list of titles for all the Avatar sequels got leaked, and James Cameron eventually confirmed…
A former Recording Academy executive filed a lawsuit against former Grammys CEO Mike Greene as well as the organization itself, accusing Greene of sexually assaulting her multiple times when she was his employee. Terri McIntyre, who served as the Recording Academy’s Los Angeles chapter executive director from 1994 to 1996, filed a graphic 55-page suit in Los Angeles Court on Wednesday, claiming that Greene, who stepped down as Grammy chief in 2002 amid other sexual misconduct claims, sexually harassed and assaulted her over the two-year period. McIntyre also named the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the longstanding organization…

Graphic by Kayleen Dicuangco Where’s the line between in-the-know fashion girlie and overzealous elf? My findings below. By Natalie Michie Date December 6, 2023 In life, being nosy takes you places. They’re not always good places, but they’re interesting nonetheless. Case in point: My relentless inquisitiveness recently brought me into the hotly debated fashion territory of the red tights outfit. Adored by both Blair Waldorf and Mr. Incredible, red tights can range from appropriately kitsch to downright silly to, in my opinion, incredibly chic. ICYMI, red is the colour of the season, and as a result, scarlet stockings are quickly…
In addition to training, the 33-year-old also decided to quit drinking. “Doing that show with a hangover,” Taylor added, “I don’t want to know that world.” The superstar’s preparation certainly paid off, as she found her inner strength throughout the process. “I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed,” Taylor noted. “That’s part of my identity as a human being now. If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure.” Original Source
Our cup runneth over with best books lists right now, and The New Yorker’s best books of 2023 is one of the latest lists to emerge. Funnily enough, no matter how many of these kinds of lists we read, it’s always interesting to see another — to note the overlap between lists, see books that perhaps hadn’t gotten a lot of buzz this year, and to read each publication’s editors’ notes. So let’s dive in. This year, The New Yorker divided its list into three categories: The Essentials, Nonfiction, and Fiction & Poetry. The Essentials A Day in the Life…

While there’s been no official announcement by any of the powers-that-be, hope continues to spring eternal for Alita: Battle Angel 2 to become a reality. Between producer Jon Landau and director Robert Rodriguez stoking the fires with updates, as well as James Cameron’s supposed confirmation of multiple sequels in the works, it’s hard not to feel that the question isn’t if, but when this sci-fi movie continuation will happen. If frequent Rodriguez collaborator/Alita co-star Jeff Fahey is anyone to go by, that sequel just might be going into production, and much sooner than we thought. Of course, we need to take…

Graphic by Kayleen Dicuangco Were you Team Sofia or Beyoncé in 2023? By Annika Lautens Date December 5, 2023 Who here hasn’t fantasized about having a Pretty Woman moment? You know the one: You walk into a high-end boutique and spend “an obscene amount of money.” Or better yet, you drop an obscene amount of someone else’s money, and then rub it in the faces of the people that had previously wronged you. “Big mistake. Huge!” It’s the perfect Cinderella fairytale moment, mixed in with some petty-yet-delicious revenge — a poor, insignificant person goes through a makeover montage and suddenly…
Sebastian Stan is certainly not fired. The Captain America star transformed into former President Donald Trump while filming the upcoming movie The Apprentice, named after Trump’s reality show that ran from 2004 to 2017. Stan was pictured with Trump’s signature blonde hairdo while wearing a navy suit and black winter coat for a snowy scene filmed in Toronto.

According to Deadline, The Apprentice movie—directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi—also stars Succession actor Jeremy Strong as lawyer Roy Cohn and Borat actress Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, the former POTUS’…
