Shia LaBeouf Explains Why He Got Nude for That Sigur Rs Video

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  2 minutes  |  320 words  |  Aldo Pusey

Shia LaBeouf. Shia LaBeouf will have his first major post-Transformers moment with the arrival of his prohibition western Lawless, but the actor already made waves recently when he appeared in an artsy Sigur Rós video directed by Alma Ha’rel. How did he get involved? “I wrote a fan letter,” LaBeouf told us last night at the Lawless premiere. “I saw Bombay Beach, the movie that Alma Har’el made. It touched me. [Read More]

Sleigh Bells Returns With Rule Number One

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  2 minutes  |  398 words  |  Elina Uphoff

Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells, 2015. Sleigh Bells is back, and just in time for the season of heat. Since releasing three brief, thunderous, sweetly abrasive albums between 2010 and 2013, the noise-pop duo of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller have put out next to no new music, but as today’s self-released single “Rule Number One” demonstrates, they’ve hardly been silent, let alone stagnant. The band has always been justly renowned for splicing genres together; their new song sounds like two or three separate songs, each with a distinct rhythm, melody, and volume, set at strange yet somehow un-awkward angles to one another.

SNL Recap: Jesse Eisenberg Hosts Night of the Awkward

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  8 minutes  |  1536 words  |  Sherie Connelly

Let me apologize for using the most overused and misused term in talking about contemporary comedy these days. “Awkward humor” has become synonymous with “comedy about real people,” a blanket category for any comedy in which the lead characters aren’t Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson or Will Ferrell. The films of Wes Anderson and Christopher Guest, and television mockumentaries The Office and Parks and Recreation, are often reduced as “awkward,” when in reality, they all just focus on characters who remind us of people we know.

So You Saw That Creepy Eddie Redmayne Cabaret Performance

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  6 minutes  |  1066 words  |  Elina Uphoff

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It’s something every parent wants to shield their children from, something we all fear despite knowing it’s not real, the thing that goes yuck in the night: Eddie Redmayne as the Emcee in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. Normally, there are societal guardrails in place to protect us all from such things; namely, the ticket prices are so exorbitant that no average person will ever have to worry about being exposed to it.

Somehow, Morbius Is Fun

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  5 minutes  |  950 words  |  Sherie Connelly

Jared Leto in Morbius. Morbius has no reason to exist as an actual movie, but maybe that’s why it worked for me. This origin story for a second-tier Spider-Man villain is largely Sony’s way of capitalizing on its rights to the Spidey universe in order to maintain a partnership with Marvel and keep up with Disney. It has relatively little to prove, and not much to advance brand-wise; the Spider-verse will happily live on whether this movie does or not. [Read More]

Sons of Anarchy Achieves Nirvana

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  1 minutes  |  181 words  |  Zora Stowers

Our favorite bad show after Mad Men, the FX drama Sons of Anarchy has devoted its second season to pitting the protagonists of its titular biker gang against a white-power syndicate (including, notably, a very bad dude played by Henry Rollins). Basically, it’s a white-trash Sopranos — Katey Sagal plays the Carmela equivalent. But the show revolves, like a big wheel of cheese, around Charlie Hunnam’s hot rebel “Jax” Taylor, whom we love for his screamingly obvious W. [Read More]
