As someone who is equally devoted to books and the internet, I am endlessly fascinated by the failure of online writing to live up to its potential as a form. Previously, I wrote about how interactive ebooks were once seen as the future of books, and how they have completely failed to live up to what was projected about them. They are such a tiny niche that it’s arguable about whether they even count as books as at all — what’s the line between a pick-a-path video game and an interactive ebook? To some extent, I can see how interactive…

Don Mancini has maintained his streak of character and narrative surprises in “Chucky” Season Two, especially when it comes to Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly). While protagonists Jake Wheeler (Zackary Arthur), Devon (Bjorgvin Arnarson), and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind) contended with their ongoing fight to remove Chucky from their lives, Tiffany’s impressive journey this season proved just as complex. The murderess dealt with the ramifications of her one-sided relationship with Nica (Fiona Dourif), unexpected party guests, motherhood, death, and the loss of her comfortable lifestyle when Jennifer Tilly gets framed for Tiffany’s murders. Tiffany heads into the finale tonight searching for a…

With another Rian Johnson whodunnit ready to be solved, comes another glorious title: Glass Onion. And, if you’ve been wondering how the writer/director got the title, look no further than the 1968 Beatles song of the same name. I’ll admit I didn’t put two and two together, considering it’s a bit of a deep cut for the British band, but I don’t feel bad admitting that because a ton of other people didn’t either. When the Glass Onion filmmaker was recently asked about the title of his latest movie — which you can watch in theaters this week only before it…
Christmas Szn Carey’s holiday domination is just getting started Consider Thanksgiving over — because Mariah Carey has arrived to officially kick off the Christmas season. Carey closed out the 96th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday with a cheerful performance of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Standing in front of the giant Turkey-themed entrance, Carey wore a magenta gown while she belted out the holiday hit, holding a matching parasol. Dancers dressed in matching red marching band uniforms surrounded her and were joined by ballet dancers. During the performance, a pair of green gift boxes flanking Carey opened up to reveal her 11-year-old…
The brand has mastered the art of going viral — but at what cost? By Natalie Michie Date November 23, 2022 Facebook Twitter Courting controversy is arguably what Balenciaga does best. In recent years, creative director Demna has built a reputation for stealing the world’s attention time after time with weird, unconventional and downright startling marketing. And so far, it’s proven to be a pretty successful publicity strategy. But as viral backlash from the Balenciaga holiday campaign intensifies, it appears this time, the brand has crossed the line. The campaign, shot by renowned photographer Gabriele Galimberti, was meant to promote…
In his last great performance in Peter Bogdanovich’s debut film Targets (1968), Boris Karloff plays the aged and exasperated horror legend Byron Orlok. In a single line he sums up his entire career, at least as viewed by the public: “Marx Brothers make you laugh, Garbo makes you weep, Orlok makes you scream.” As with Gloria Swanson’s unforgettable portrayal of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard (1950), it is tempting to project too much of the real Karloff onto his onscreen counterpart. The broad strokes are similar enough, but the true man is far more complex and enigmatic. Boris Karloff was…
A name says a lot about a person—and a family.The Nov. 24 episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians featured the arrival of Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s baby boy, who was born via surrogate in August. While it marked a celebratory time for the entire family, there were still pressing matters to address once Khloe brought the baby home. “What are we going to name him?” Kim Kardashian asked her sister. “That’s what I need to know.” Kris Jenner didn’t waste any time coming up with a suggestion, saying, “How about Rob? How about Rob Kardashian-Thompson? And then just call him Rob Kardashian?” Shade, party…
Born April 9, 1953, in Greenwich, New York, acclaimed country singer-songwriter Hal Michael Ketchum spent his early years performing and honing his skills as an artist and songwriter. Although his early years were heavily focused on music Ketchum’s career didn’t fully blossom until the mid-1980s, following a move to Texas. After winning Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk Singer-Songwriter Contest in 1986, he recorded his first record, Threadbare Alibis. These new creative accomplishments pushed Ketchum to keep moving forward, leading him to try and make a fresh start in Nashville. In 1991, he inked a deal with Curb Records and released his major label…
Tim Allen is famous for a number of roles, from his time as Mike Baxter on Last Man Standing to voicing Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies (and even making a kid cry once doing this). But when the holiday season rolls around each year, Allen receives renewed attention for playing Scott Calvin, a.k.a. Santa Claus, in the Santa Clause movies. 2022 is a special occasion on this front though, as Allen is reprising Santa for The Santa Clauses, a limited series you can stream with a Disney+ subscription. As such, lately Allen has been looking back at his…
