“I don’t really care about movies,” the man says, nervously wringing his hands together. “I used to…but not anymore. Maybe it’ll come back?” It’s not an uncommon sentiment to hear in the Year of Our Lord 2022. What makes that comment stand out, however, is that it’s being delivered by a French filmmaker who’s sitting on the set of his latest movie. He’s admitting this to the A-list American star he’s just met and has employed, at great expense, to play the lead in it. The young woman smiles and nods; she’s been looking for a project that’s more personal…

Sinister Succubus. After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we did what might be our hardest pivot yet with last week’s episode on the 2002 live-action adaptation Scooby-Doo. Now it’s time to get a bit more serious with writer/director James Bond III‘s Troma classic Def By Temptation! In the film, quiet divinity student Joel (James Bond III) starts to question his faith. So he leaves his hometown in North Carolina and heads to New York to visit his…

As promised, Pharrell Williams delivered an all-star headlining set Saturday night at his Something in the Water fest in D.C., with the Neptunes producer bringing out Justin Timberlake, T.I., N.O.R.E. and the much-anticipated reunion of Clipse.

After weeks of cryptic teasing through website URLs and social media wipes, Beyoncé is officially launching the Renaissance era with the album’s first song, “Break My Soul,” out at midnight, June 21. In another understated announcement, the singer’s bio sections on Instagram and Twitter were quietly updated to read: “6. BREAK MY SOUL midnight ET.” Still devoid of any specific details, or even album artwork, the first offering from the 16-track record will be the first glimpse into Beyoncé’s highly-anticipated full-length follow up to 2016’s visual revolution, Lemonade. In the period between the Lemonade and Renaissance, Beyoncé out-rapped her husband…
Brian Wilson is raking in the 80th birthday wishes from an array of friends and musical peers, including Bob Dylan, Carole King, Elton John, and Questlove. The aforementioned artists — and many others — all sent in short video messages celebrating the musician, who entered his eighth decade today, June 20. The clip also includes Smokey Robinson, Barry Gibb, Chuck D, Fleet Foxes, Graham Nash, David Crosby, John Fogerty, Micky Dolenz, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, and She and Him. Wilson’s longtime collaborator and former Beach Boys bandmate Al Jardine also chimed in — and tossed in a requisite dig…
The mantra of the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, which returned to Manchester, Tennessee, this weekend after a forced two-year absence, is “radiate positivity.” For the group formerly known as the Dixie Chicks — queens of the scorched-earth, fiddle-and-banjo-tinged, stick-a-pin-in-your-voodoo-doll revenge-fantasy rallying call — those posi vibes came by way of killing Russian president Vladimir Putin in effigy. On Friday, the Chicks debuted as both the festival’s first-ever country and female-fronted headliner. And just like Earl, Vlad had to die. Putin’s figurative demise came during a mid-set performance of “Tights on My Boat” — a playfully savage ditty about…
Wondering what actual Amazon shoppers say about these shorts? Check out the following reviews. ”These are just great. I use them under skirts in warmer locations to stop that awful thigh sweat that unfortunately happens from time to time even in the smallest of us, or to compliment an outfit.” “I live in Phoenix where your goal in summer is to stay cool. I wear mostly cotton skirts and dresses to keep the air flowing, but I always hated thigh sweat or sitting and having your thighs stick together. So I tried these and oh my goodness — BEST thing ever! They are SUPER…

John Oliver began his main story by defining housing in the United States as “the thing that 16-year-old TikTok millionaires can afford, and you can’t.” This week’s episode of Last Week Tonight only got more infuriating from there. More than a third of U.S. households are currently renters, which is a problem for a whole bunch of inequity-related reasons. But as many news stories in the past couple of years have pointed out, being a renter is hard and getting harder — in the past year alone rents have risen 15 percent a year nationally, 30 percent in mid-sized cities…
When you watch a certain movie that was made years ago, you may be think that there’s no way a certain element in the movie or a casting decision would ever work today. For example, cisgender actress Hilary Swank won an Oscar for playing the role of young transgender man Brandon Teena and, in recent years, Scarlett Johansson faced backlash for taking a transgender role and ended up dropping out of the project. With all of that in mind, Tom Hanks recently spoke about his Oscar-winning role in Philadelphia , in which he played a gay man. He also revealed…
