According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Los Angeles rapper was scheduled to be released on parole. Vulture has reached out to Greedo’s attorney for comment.

Even as rap became a massive commercial force, it preserved the thrill of the impermanent: the sample chopped or flipped on the spot only to be nixed by the folks in legal affairs, the virtuosic freestyle that trails off into nothing./21595-15-irrefutable-reasons-why-we-might-be-living-in-a-simulation-21595.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21595-15-irrefutable-reasons-why-we-might-be-living-in-a-simulation-21595.htmlWe Are Living in the Matrix A weeklong series about how a 1999 movie predicted kind-of-everything about life 20 years later.

We’ve updated the list to include more great Stephen King works worthy of adaptation. Literary horror master Stephen King is no stranger to the screen. With the massive success of It, the critical acclaim for shows like the King-inspired Castle Rock and Mr. Mercedes, and more adaptations currently in the works, King has arguably never been hotter. And usually, it’s worth it. Sure, we get a dud like The Dark Tower every now and then, but we also end up getting good ones like Gerald’s Game./21839-17-indie-artists-on-their-oddest-odd-jobs-that-pay-the-bills-when-music-doesn-t-21839.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21839-17-indie-artists-on-their-oddest-odd-jobs-that-pay-the-bills-when-music-doesn-t-21839.html“When is it gonna be when I have to get a real job? is always in the back of my head.

Mrs. Maisel has a distinctive premise — a jilted ’50s housewife takes up stand-up comedy after her husband leaves her for his secretary — and there’s a lot to differentiate it from Sherman-Palladino’s previous work: its historical period, its strong Jewish cultural framework, its urban setting, and alas, its lack of Kelly Bishop./21578-9-movies-to-see-or-not-this-memorial-day-weekend-21578.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21578-9-movies-to-see-or-not-this-memorial-day-weekend-21578.htmlWe’ve nearly made it to the official start of summer — summer Fridays! summer breezes! summer lovin’! — but first we get the extended holiday weekend of Memorial Day.

Roseanne Barr clearly had an agenda, and Whitney Cummings, the revival’s co-showrunner, wrote for Vulture about hers: “Since tweeting wasn’t working, maybe giving my brain to a show that touched the hearts and got the eyeballs of so many working-class people is how I could finally do my part to help us all make sense of the election./21768-did-you-catch-all-the-changes-in-rent-live-21768.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21768-did-you-catch-all-the-changes-in-rent-live-21768.htmlCreators and producers for Rent: Live touted the Fox production in the lead-up to its January 27 premiere as the Rent we love on “steroids,” while also clarifying that edits would be made to fit network standards and cut for length.

Die Hard’s stunts and special-effects-driven set pieces are especially iconic, thanks to McTiernan and his collaborators’ dedication to realism: They shot most of the film on existing locations (mostly at Fox Plaza in Los Angeles, but also at a nearby construction site), used real guns (picked by Predator’s weapons specialists), and filmed actors (and stuntmen) falling from real heights (and often without the enhancement of green-screen technology)./21691-discovery-cancels-dirty-jobs-21691.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21691-discovery-cancels-dirty-jobs-21691.htmlDirty Jobs has been canceled, host Mike Rowe announced today.

Clayton plays real-life twink porn star Brent Corrigan, and as director Justin Kelly told Vulture in a recent interview, his sparse résumé was a boon for the film: “I definitely thought that would really help for the role, if it could feel like we’re discovering someone at the same time that [the porn industry] is./21850-how-mrs-maisel-put-together-its-marvelous-1950s-soundtrack-21850.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21850-how-mrs-maisel-put-together-its-marvelous-1950s-soundtrack-21850.htmlWith all of the TV shows withstandout soundtracks this year, it was a particularly welcome surprise to end 2017 on a sonic note that harkened back to the 1950s. 1958, to be precise: In The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, co-creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino created a diverse musical world that’s not only as meticulous as their fast-paced dialogue, but one that’s whip-smart with its choices and cues.

In the near-apocalyptically tense year of 1968, co-writers Stan Lee and Jack Kirby took on countercultural protest by having Thor tell a bunch of hippies to stop lazing around and fight for change within the system. While Richard Nixon flailed, Macbeth-like, in the final months before his resignation, a Captain America story written by Steve Englehart depicted him secretly working for the supervillain organization the Secret Empire./21653-macklemore-finally-explains-why-he-owns-a-bizarre-nude-justin-bieber-painting-21653.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21653-macklemore-finally-explains-why-he-owns-a-bizarre-nude-justin-bieber-painting-21653.htmlNever change.

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 cheating ranged from lap dances to a threesome, Goldberg emphasized./21842-why-is-andy-kaufman-entering-wwe-s-hall-of-fame-so-late-21842.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21842-why-is-andy-kaufman-entering-wwe-s-hall-of-fame-so-late-21842.htmlAndy Kaufman was many things: a performance artist, “song and dance man,” comedian, and also pro wrestler.

History Channel will air a remake of Roots over four consecutive nights, beginning May 30. Ahead of its premiere, Matt Zoller Seitz revisits the original series. Roots is the most important scripted program in broadcast network history. It aired across eight consecutive nights in January 1977 — a go-for-broke gesture by ABC, which made the mini-series out of a sense of social obligation and wanted to “burn off” the entire run quickly in a mostly dead programming month./21517-why-that-old-timey-pistol-at-the-end-of-prey-looks-familiar-21517.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21517-why-that-old-timey-pistol-at-the-end-of-prey-looks-familiar-21517.htmlAmber Midthunder as Naru in Prey. Dan Trachtenberg’s new Predator prequel, Prey, pulls off a rarity in today’s movie-franchise landscape: It avoids taking a torch to the series’s established continuity, while also sidestepping an overreliance on it. We do get a callback to the iconic line, “If it bleeds, we can kill it,” first uttered by Arnold Schwarzenegger in John McTiernan’s 1987 original. But for most of its running time, Prey sticks to its own hunting territory, setting its story in the Northern Great Plains in the early 18th century, where a young Comanche woman named Naru (Amber Midthunder) faces off against one of the intergalactic visitors who’ve been hunting humans for centuries./21934-why-the-lead-singer-of-imagine-dragons-is-fighting-for-lgbtq-rights-21934.htmlThu, 13 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21934-why-the-lead-singer-of-imagine-dragons-is-fighting-for-lgbtq-rights-21934.htmlImagine Dragons. “I went on a mission because I was like, maybe if I go on a mission, God will talk to me, but he never did. Or she never did, or whatever it is.

The two men have been friends and writing partners for over two decades — even co-writing the 2017 Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me — but their Netflix dramedy about four high-school friends growing up in an inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood dominated by two gangs is their most personal project to date./21279-how-onscreen-sex-sounds-are-made-from-kissing-to-hand-jobs-21279.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21279-how-onscreen-sex-sounds-are-made-from-kissing-to-hand-jobs-21279.htmlA few months ago, Comedy Central released a video depicting the (fake) Foley art of the make-out scenes from The Bachelor: raw chicken cutlets slapped together; a man jamming his fist into a giant jar of mayonnaise. It’s not how the experts really do it, obviously — so how do they achieve the sounds of sweet, tender (or not) lovemaking for the big and small screen?

Orange Is the New Black may have sparked from Piper Kerman’s 2010 memoir about the 13 months she spent in federal prison on money-laundering charges, but the Netflix series thrived by looking beyond protagonist Piper Chapman’s story and toward the large, diverse group of women incarcerated with her. No TV series had ever featured such a sprawling group of women, each with her own singular story, and in the final season, those women’s stories form the foundation of thoughtful and empathetic explorations of empowerment and growth, mental illness, death, and the country’s polarizing immigration policies./21325-how-selena-the-series-charts-selena-quintanilla-s-fashion-evolution-21325.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21325-how-selena-the-series-charts-selena-quintanilla-s-fashion-evolution-21325.htmlHow it started … In Netflix’s Selena: The Series, the costuming of Selena in itself tells a story of the late singer. As part one of the two-part series introduces a bubbly teenage Selena (played by Christian Serratos), with cat sweaters and awkward hair moments aplenty, the costuming quietly charts her growth into the more confident and passionate woman fans know her to be. Small moments of Selena flipping through the pages of magazines; planning the next looks of her band, Los Dinos; and musing that “there should be nice clothes that regular people can wear,” all give viewers a hint of the many layers of Selena Quintanilla./20984-how-shameless-says-good-bye-to-emmy-rossum-and-fiona-gallagher-20984.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20984-how-shameless-says-good-bye-to-emmy-rossum-and-fiona-gallagher-20984.htmlEmmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher in Shameless.

He made the trip overseas to induct Link Wray, his “hero,” into the Rock Hall, both with a pre-recorded message and a performance of “Rumble” — the sexy, distorted morphine drip of a song that got a young Page to pick up a guitar./21087-joaquin-phoenix-and-a-hammer-the-story-behind-the-year-s-most-unforgettable-action-sequence-21087.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21087-joaquin-phoenix-and-a-hammer-the-story-behind-the-year-s-most-unforgettable-action-sequence-21087.htmlLynne Ramsay is a bad ass. The Scottish writer-director of modern classics such as Ratcatcher and Morvern Callar is also a brilliant writer and visual poet and one of the most important living filmmakers we have, but at the end of the day, please do not forget: Lynne Ramsay is a bad ass. Her films, which often deal with some configuration of decay, grief, and youth, are tough as nails without sacrificing an almost terrifying beauty, and her career has had the kind of trials and tribulations that would flatten less assured artists./21450-joe-rogan-is-just-the-start-of-it-21450.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21450-joe-rogan-is-just-the-start-of-it-21450.htmlSince it was first tweeted in 2018, “The right is starting to get better at comedy and it’s making lefties nervous” has remained a meme used to mock the idea of conservative comedy.

The Wachowski siblings’ sci-fi thriller Jupiter Ascending is inane from first frame to last — the dialogue is so clunky, I wondered if George Lucas had been brought in to do the rewrite. But it’s not much fun enumerating the movie’s infelicities. As they proved in their Matrix trilogy, Speed Racer, and Cloud Atlas, Lana and Andy do nothing halfway, and even a formula picture like this packs in so much physical detail and philosophical subtext that you feel as if you should be dazzled — that you somehow owe it to them to keep watching and hoping that the next sequence will be halfway involving./21101-just-for-laughs-announces-its-2018-new-faces-21101.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21101-just-for-laughs-announces-its-2018-new-faces-21101.htmlThe 2018 Just for Laughs festival is currently underway in Montreal, and today they revealed their annual list of up-and-coming comedians to highlight for their “New Faces” showcase.

TMZ reports that Madonna filed an emergency court order in New York City on Tuesday to block the auction./21030-maestro-is-a-masterful-reconstruction-that-remains-just-that-21030.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21030-maestro-is-a-masterful-reconstruction-that-remains-just-that-21030.htmlThis review was originally published on September 2, 2023.

Carey Mulligan gets first billing in Bradley Cooper’s film about the life of conductor Leonard Bernstein (played by Bradley Cooper). And she deserves it. As Bernstein’s wife Felicia Montealegre, she has to absorb, attract, shield, and parry every loving embrace and slight from her brilliant husband. It’s a reactive performance, and Mulligan plays it with a heartbreaking universality./21241-maisie-williams-thought-her-big-game-of-thrones-scene-with-gendry-was-a-prank-21241.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21241-maisie-williams-thought-her-big-game-of-thrones-scene-with-gendry-was-a-prank-21241.htmlSpoilers ahead! Perhaps like you, when Maisie Williams realized her Game of Thrones character Arya was about to have sex for the first time with her longtime friend Gendry, played by Joe Dempsie, during Sunday night’s season-eight episode “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” she assumed the scene was a practical joke. “At first, I thought it was a prank,” the actress told Entertainment Weekly, “I was like, ‘Yo, good one./21115-married-to-medicine-tv-episode-recaps-news-21115.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21115-married-to-medicine-tv-episode-recaps-news-21115.htmlThis site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

How strict are the restrictions that Marvel places on cinematic depictions of Spider-Man? This strict: According to a 2011 contract between Marvel and Sony that was discovered by Gawker as part of the Sony hack, Spider-Man films are prohibited from portraying their titular web-slinger, Peter Parker, as anything but a straight white male. These restrictions are part of a set of “mandatory character traits” the comics giant set in advance of 2012’s Andrew Garfield–starring The Amazing Spider-Man; other perhaps more reasonable restrictions prevent Spider-Man from being depicted as a drug dealer or a pedophile./21379-mary-george-recap-king-james-is-a-bottom-21379.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21379-mary-george-recap-king-james-is-a-bottom-21379.htmlMary and George The Hunt Season 1 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Mary and George The Hunt Season 1 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Tens!

It’s such a bafflingly absurd place to find oneself./21170-noah-galvin-and-taylor-trensch-are-the-next-evan-hansens-21170.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21170-noah-galvin-and-taylor-trensch-are-the-next-evan-hansens-21170.htmlImagine them quivering in polo shirts. Dear Evan Hansen has found not one but two actors who will follow Tony-winner Ben Platt when he steps out of that striped-blue polo shirt this November. The musical announced today that Noah Galvin, an actor on ABC’s The Real O’Neals and a haver of many opinions, will play the title role in the musical about a socially awkward teen, from November 21 to January 2018, after which he’ll be replaced by Taylor Trensch, who currently plays Barnaby in Hello, Dolly!/21431-none-of-us-s-jump-scares-compare-to-the-evil-family-s-sandals-21431.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21431-none-of-us-s-jump-scares-compare-to-the-evil-family-s-sandals-21431.htmlJordan Peele’s Us has more jump scares than Get Out, which means more of me hiding behind my hands and gripping my armrest. And most of the movie’s unnerving moments come before all its typical horror sequences: Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) teaches her son Jason to snap off rhythm to “I Got 5 on It.” Elisabeth Moss, that white friend, announces the current time as “vodka o’clock.” (A dubious proposition, and I’m speaking from experience./21297-nore-davis-will-be-your-stand-up-superhero-21297.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21297-nore-davis-will-be-your-stand-up-superhero-21297.htmlThis week, we’re highlighting 24 talented writers and performers for Vulture’s annual list “Comedians You Should and Will Know.” Our goal is to introduce a wider audience to the talent that has the comedy community and industry buzzing.

After her first tour, in 1979, she didn’t perform another concert until 2014. She’s produced most of her own music, has long handled her publishing and management in-house, and these days doesn’t get out of bed for anyone but herself. So when you hear that Kate Bush isn’t attending her own overdue Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction on November 3, you can’t be too surprised — you almost have to admire it./21368-not-in-my-san-diego-how-ntsf-sd-suv-has-perfectly-captured-my-hometown-21368.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21368-not-in-my-san-diego-how-ntsf-sd-suv-has-perfectly-captured-my-hometown-21368.htmlLike a lot of San Diegans, I’m originally from somewhere else. My family moved here when I was but a slip of a lad, however, and I’ve definitely lived here longer than anywhere else. When I first moved here at the age of 12, I hated it intensely, bristling at the intense cultural differences between suburban Los Angeles and suburban San Diego in the way only a seventh grader can. But that hatred blossomed into a weird love/hate relationship that can only be justified by the glowing eye of my television set./21459-novelist-colum-mccann-on-let-the-great-world-spin-and-the-9-11-grief-machine-21459.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21459-novelist-colum-mccann-on-let-the-great-world-spin-and-the-9-11-grief-machine-21459.htmlColum McCann — an Irish-born, Manhattan-dwelling novelist you should know a lot more about — is one of those restless authors constantly in search of new territory (Dancer fictionalized the life of Nureyev, Zoli the story of an itinerant Romani singer). He hadn’t set a novel in New York since 1998’s This Side of Brightness, about homeless people living in subway tunnels, until September 11 made him go back. But his sprawling, lyrical new book, Let the Great World Spin, takes place almost entirely in 1974, hardly a banner year for the city, around the time of Philippe Petit’s tightrope walk between the Twin Towers./21073-novelist-megan-abbott-on-how-twin-peaks-cast-a-rich-shadow-over-all-of-her-books-21073.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21073-novelist-megan-abbott-on-how-twin-peaks-cast-a-rich-shadow-over-all-of-her-books-21073.htmlI was a freshman in college when the first episode of Twin Peaks aired.

What if your seemingly innocent young child was actually evil incarnate? That taps into many parents’ primal fears, and it provides for plenty of disturbing moments, connecting a pure, helpless child to heinous acts of violence. It’s no surprise that The Omen was a hit, capitalizing on the popularity of horror movies like its obvious influences The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby, as well as paranoid political thrillers like Three Days of the Condor and The Parallax View./21027-opera-review-anna-netrebko-one-of-the-last-old-style-divas-in-aida-21027.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21027-opera-review-anna-netrebko-one-of-the-last-old-style-divas-in-aida-21027.htmlNetrebko as Aida, at the Met.

However, on further exploration of that notion, we’ve learned that things aren’t so cut-and-dried — there are a variety of perspectives on devices before bed, including the straightforward idea that if using a screen before bed relaxes you, well, that certainly helps with the quality of your sleep./21322-the-25-best-girls-guest-stars-ranked-21322.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21322-the-25-best-girls-guest-stars-ranked-21322.htmlL-R: Shiri Appleby, Donald Glover, Jenny Slate.

Casting-wise, the show’s surprise encounters have proven to be a lot more fun. Celebrity cameos have always been a Girls staple; we tallied nearly 90 of them over the series’ 62 episodes, including major recurring characters like Caroline (Gaby Hoffmann), Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), David Pressler-Goings (John Cameron Mitchell), and Hannah’s (sorry — “Banana’s”) parents (Becky Ann Baker and Peter Scolari)./21369-the-25-most-essential-chicago-movies-21369.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21369-the-25-most-essential-chicago-movies-21369.htmlThe release of Steve McQueen’s masterful Widows this week got us thinking about the long history of movies that have used Chicago as more than a mere backdrop.

Beyoncé expectedly broke the record for most Grammy wins of all time but still couldn’t ride that wave to an Album of the Year trophy. A slew of A-listers was in the house, but left-field picks like Bonnie Raitt and Samara Joy won out in major categories.

If you want evidence the seventies were the strangest decade in American history, feast your eyes on The Gong Show, the brief-but-oh-so-memorable game show that aired from 1976 through 1980, in a daytime version on NBC and nighttime version in syndication. Even taking account Community, Conan, and all the other “off-beat” shows currently on TV, it still stands as among the strangest television programs of all time./21285-the-jonas-brothers-went-full-dad-rock-on-the-album-21285.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21285-the-jonas-brothers-went-full-dad-rock-on-the-album-21285.htmlThe Jonas Brothers are starting to wonder if this was all part of their dad’s plan. The trio’s new album, confidently titled The Album, is inspired by the ’70s rock he’d played for them growing up — songs from the Bee Gees, America, and the Eagles that ended up informing their vocal approach and three-part harmonies. “He played us a lot of music where there were multiple lead singers in a band, which is what we have, and it makes for these moments where we’re able to switch on and off from each other,” Nick tells Charlie Harding from Switched on Pop./21441-the-leftovers-recap-who-needs-a-hug-21441.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21441-the-leftovers-recap-who-needs-a-hug-21441.htmlThe Leftovers Off Ramp Season 2 Episode 3 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » The Leftovers Off Ramp Season 2 Episode 3 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Laurie and Tom Garvey.

If you are not a child, or do not have children yourself, you may find the mere title of The Lego Ninjago Movie to beg some kind of explanation. I’ll do what I can. Ninjago, which I have been mistakenly pronouncing “ninja-go” for the past month, is a series of Lego sets that began production in 2011. The theme is a kind of blenderized mix of martial arts and mecha imagery; basically Power Rangers without elbow or knee joints./21447-the-long-chaste-road-to-wednesday-night-s-big-olicity-moment-on-arrow-21447.htmlWed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/21447-the-long-chaste-road-to-wednesday-night-s-big-olicity-moment-on-arrow-21447.htmlOliver goes in for the kiss.

And it also happens to be one where the creators and executive producers — the married team of Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino — often direct, co-write, and produce the episodes.

This past summer, ABC announced that one of its longest-running comedies, The Middle, would end at the conclusion of its upcoming ninth season.

Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling), for instance, is one of the most fully realized minority characters on television right now: a woman whose obsessions with celebrity gossip and Netflixing romantic comedies far outweigh the practically insignificant fact of her race.

Today, the author is interested in a different sort of eternal life: the kind that comes from religious salvation instead of erotic damnation. Raised Irish Catholic, the author re-converted in 1998 after years as a self-avowed atheist.

While the majority of the album is about how much he loves Hailey Bieber née Baldwin, he can’t help but get a little preachy and in-his-feelings./20898-all-the-shows-returning-after-the-writers-and-sag-strikes-20898.htmlTue, 11 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20898-all-the-shows-returning-after-the-writers-and-sag-strikes-20898.htmlThe Drew Barrymore Show.

In 1971 and 1973, William Friedkin found himself on top of the film world with the one-two punch of The French Connection and The Exorcist. Then things got interesting: Friedkin’s next film, 1977’s impossibly ambitious Sorcerer, flopped, and subsequent films, such as 1980’s controversial Al Pacino S&M thriller Cruising, didn’t fare much better./20584-disappointed-with-the-sexless-into-the-woods-watch-the-company-of-wolves-instead-20584.htmlTue, 11 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20584-disappointed-with-the-sexless-into-the-woods-watch-the-company-of-wolves-instead-20584.htmlWhen Disney started adapting Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods for film, few issues were more pressing than what to do about “Hello, Little Girl,” a sexually charged duet between Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf filled with all sorts of double entendres.

The Catalan songwriter warns us as much in the song’s title (“Malamente — Cap. 1, Augurio”), so if you’d hoped for a fairy tale, you might want to temper your expectations.

The movies love the New York subway. They love to show how crowded and awful and messy and grimy and evil it is, and occasionally its majesty.

Alice Bolin is the author of Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession. The “true-crime boom” of the mid- to late 2010s is a strange pop-culture phenomenon, given that it is not so much a new type of programming as an acknowledgement of a centuries-long obsession: People love true stories about murder and other brands of brutality and grift, and they have gorged on them particularly since the beginning of modern journalism./20668-the-exorcist-believer-possesses-the-box-office-20668.htmlTue, 11 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20668-the-exorcist-believer-possesses-the-box-office-20668.htmlAfter moving up their premiere date one week out of fear of the force of Taylor Swift, The Exorcist: Believer has one week of owning the screams of terror before the Swifties take over with screams of delight.

Although the eight-part television event follows several families involved with the infamous organization “and efforts to help some members of those families extricate themselves from the hate group,” the official first look specifically focuses on the Howard family in Mississippi — the father, Stephen, wants his teenage daughter, Maggie, to be the first female imperial wizard of the KKK, even though she’s, um, not particularly keen on doing that./20604-the-first-timers-club-the-15-actors-nominated-by-the-academy-for-their-very-first-performances-20604.htmlTue, 11 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20604-the-first-timers-club-the-15-actors-nominated-by-the-academy-for-their-very-first-performances-20604.htmlThe Gold Rush Brought to you by The Gold Rush Brought to you by It’s rare to be nominated for an Oscar, but what does it take to be nominated for your very first performance?

The 2024 WGAs are being held a month after the Oscars, on April 14.

Written almost entirely in antic, comparatively relaxed prose and, in its own day, set in the present, the play — especially the “merry war” of wit between its protagonists, Beatrice and Benedick — still feels modern to our ears.

Christopher Chen’s tense, fascinating Passage is a delicate walk through a field of landmines, not all of which remain unexploded. As the title implies, the play is a journey — not only across space, between hypothetical countries, but into the internal abyss: the shadowy subcutaneous expanse where imagination bodies forth the form of things unknown.

Cardinal is part of a widespread, depressing trend in contemporary playwriting and, crucially, play-producing that might be called the Law and Order: SVU gambit: Stick to a tested formula — be it solving New York’s latest especially heinous sex crime, or crafting a basic, sitcomesque family drama or quirky romance or coming-of-age tale — then insert a hot-button issue./20978-the-new-new-museum-20978.htmlTue, 11 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20978-the-new-new-museum-20978.htmlPART I: THE MUSEUM AS FAIRY TALE I ’ve spent much of my life in and in love with museums.

The tone of the feud to this point had consisted mostly of jokes about shoe sizes and tier rankings of popular rappers. But Drake’s “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6” — and Lamar’s “meet the grahams” and “Not Like Us” — were each calculated acts of reputational damage and self-repair whose speed, density, and discursiveness bore a closer resemblance to a quick and rugged social-media dustup than rap beeves of the past, disagreements which cooked on a much lower simmer./20934-what-i-learned-after-watching-eyes-wide-shut-100-times-20934.htmlTue, 11 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20934-what-i-learned-after-watching-eyes-wide-shut-100-times-20934.htmlYes, 100 times.

But as the contest for catchy three-minute tunes has grown, so has its propensity for outlandish costumes, staging, and choreography.

So it’s a rare thing that he did an interview in the new issue of Gayletter, the New York–based, twice-a-year queer cool-kid culture magazine that has made a name for itself with pieces like Susan Sarandon in drag./19974-fred-armisen-s-impression-of-bill-hader-is-as-accurate-as-it-is-insulting-19974.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/19974-fred-armisen-s-impression-of-bill-hader-is-as-accurate-as-it-is-insulting-19974.htmlA few months ago, Bill Hader was on Conan and did some delightful impressions of his fellow Saturday Night Live cast members.

As the series’ principal unit photographer, she has outlasted many on-camera stars (and even preceded some, including Clarke, who took on the role of Daenerys Targaryen after the original pilot was shot). Though she’s gotten help along the way — she can’t be in two locations at once, so HBO employs other photographers too — the most memorable Game of Thrones set images you’ve seen over the past eight seasons have probably been shot from her point of view./20109-girls-richard-e-grant-on-doing-drugs-with-jessa-and-his-spice-girls-memories-20109.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20109-girls-richard-e-grant-on-doing-drugs-with-jessa-and-his-spice-girls-memories-20109.htmlVeteran actor Richard E.

So how did he come to flout the Apatow crew’s unofficial policy of avoiding well-paying blockbuster crap?/20246-jay-z-does-not-return-robert-de-niro-s-calls-20246.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20246-jay-z-does-not-return-robert-de-niro-s-calls-20246.htmlRobert De Niro attends the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival at the State Supreme Courthouse on April 17, 2012 in New York City.

The Times’ notoriously tough book critic gives Hova’s book a rave in today’s paper: “Decoded is a compelling puzzlelike collage … that places rap in a social and political context … and underscores how the pressures of Jay-Z’s former life as a dealer honed his gifts as a writer, including a survivor’s sense of character, an observer’s eye for detail and a hustler’s penchant for wordplay.” And it even made her look closer at Jay’s lyrics on the whole: “Decoded highlights the richly layered, metaphoric nature of the author’s own rhymes (even those about guns and girls and bling often turn out to have hidden meanings, stashed like ‘Easter eggs’ in the weeds)./20284-jen-beagin-s-novel-about-sex-therapy-sparked-a-hollywood-bidding-war-20284.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20284-jen-beagin-s-novel-about-sex-therapy-sparked-a-hollywood-bidding-war-20284.htmlThis article originally appeared in Making It, a newsletter featuring conversations about craft, cash, and compromise, with Emily Gould. Sign up here.

In a Variety Actors on Actors chat with The Great star Elle Fanning, Ortega discussed her role as series producer and which aspects of the show fall under the actress’s purview. “With a character like Wednesday, who is so beloved, I didn’t want to get her wrong,” she told Fanning. The phrasing was reminiscent of comments Ortega made on the Armchair Expert podcast in March, when she revealed that she was so concerned about her character’s decisions that she had to “almost unprofessionally” advocate for what she thought was right./20062-jennifer-aniston-looks-like-hell-in-cake-and-that-is-the-point-20062.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20062-jennifer-aniston-looks-like-hell-in-cake-and-that-is-the-point-20062.htmlSomeone had to ask the question: What was it like for Jennifer Aniston to act without makeup, and to see herself look like hell onscreen? “I actually found it quite awesome and liberating, to tell you the truth,” Aniston told the audience after the premiere of her new movie, Cake. “It was sort of a big deal, personally, for me to expose that, because I think we’re all very, you know, concerned with how we look on a 50-foot screen./20310-jennifer-lawrence-is-a-russian-spy-20310.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20310-jennifer-lawrence-is-a-russian-spy-20310.htmlWould somebody like to buy Jennifer Lawrence a spa day?

Starring as the East German transgendered would-be punk rock star Hedwig in John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Harris prances around stage in platform heels, goes through a formidable collection of wigs, and shreds like Iggy for 90 minutes straight./19991-netflix-s-new-heist-movie-lift-wastes-a-fun-cast-19991.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/19991-netflix-s-new-heist-movie-lift-wastes-a-fun-cast-19991.htmlGugu Mbatha-Raw and Kevin Hart in Lift.

That conflict opens a rift between her and James, better known as Ghost (Omari Hardwick): In his efforts to build a lawful nightclub empire, he spends less and less time at home./20090-praise-eywa-james-cameron-finally-debuted-footage-from-avatar-the-way-of-water-20090.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20090-praise-eywa-james-cameron-finally-debuted-footage-from-avatar-the-way-of-water-20090.html2equels W3ek 4ise5 Brought to you by 2equels W3ek 4ise5 Brought to you by Providing a fittingly grand finale for Disney’s dazzling CinemaCon slate presentation, writer-director James Cameron beamed in from a post-production facility in New Zealand to tease footage from his long-gestating sequel to the Oscar-winning 2009 blockbuster Avatar — and reveal for the first time anywhere its title, Avatar: The Way of Water./20121-prince-had-a-very-prince-reaction-to-being-forced-to-share-a-bathroom-with-justin-timberlake-20121.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20121-prince-had-a-very-prince-reaction-to-being-forced-to-share-a-bathroom-with-justin-timberlake-20121.htmlPrince. Today would’ve been Prince’s 60th birthday, and to celebrate, Variety spoke to several of his collaborators to reminisce about his funniest moments. Prince was, of course, a known expert jokester who incited food fights, had tour mates kidnapped onstage, and prank called all his colleagues. But perhaps his most infamous brand of humor was unintentional, most often the result of his dry sarcasm and merciless shade. One target of the latter was his old foe Justin Timberlake, whom Prince once dragged to hell and back for JT’s audacious insinuation with “SexyBack” that sexy had ever left whilst Prince, the inventor of sex, still walked this earth./20025-queen-charlotte-a-bridgerton-story-recap-we-all-have-gardens-20025.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20025-queen-charlotte-a-bridgerton-story-recap-we-all-have-gardens-20025.htmlQueen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Gardens in Bloom Season 1 Episode 5 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Gardens in Bloom Season 1 Episode 5 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » I must pose a question, gentle readers: Is this show about Queen Charlotte, as it claims?/20162-queer-eye-recap-sister-christian-20162.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20162-queer-eye-recap-sister-christian-20162.htmlQueer Eye Camp Rules Season 1 Episode 5 Editor’s Rating 2 stars ** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Queer Eye Camp Rules Season 1 Episode 5 Editor’s Rating 2 stars ** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » This episode of Queer Eye, more than anything, reminded me of those episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition where Ty Pennington would find someone who had a disabled child, was thrown out of her house, fostered 17 children successfully, or was a former henchman to an evil supervillain and needed to find a new job since his boss was blown up by the Justice League./20318-r-e-m-finally-sounding-like-r-e-m-again-20318.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20318-r-e-m-finally-sounding-like-r-e-m-again-20318.htmlPhoto: WireImage Obviously it was with major trepidation that we approached “Supernatural Superserious,” the super-stupidly titled new R.E.M. song from the band’s forthcoming album, Accelerate.

Still, he says, among the missing there are five whose absences hurt most of all./20375-the-50-most-definitive-family-tv-shows-ranked-20375.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20375-the-50-most-definitive-family-tv-shows-ranked-20375.htmlAs long as there’s been TV, the family has been one of its favorite go-tos. All week long, Vulture is exploring how it’s been represented on our screens. One of the hallmarks of a TV family series is the sense that we’re looking into a mirror. On a sitcom it can feel like a literal mirror: The people onscreen sit around a sofa and talk to one another, and we, on our sofas, look back at them./20346-the-7-most-animal-filled-gifs-from-katy-perry-s-roar-video-20346.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20346-the-7-most-animal-filled-gifs-from-katy-perry-s-roar-video-20346.htmlKaty Perry is wonderful.

But this strange little love story turns out to be the opposite of those Sparks swoon-fests, for better and for worse; in those films, effective, entertaining romance is generally undone by harebrained plotting and tonal mishmash. The Age of Adaline, for its part, delivers the twists and turns of its fantastical plot with elegance and confidence./20166-the-annette-bening-stan-s-guide-to-the-toronto-international-film-festival-20166.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20166-the-annette-bening-stan-s-guide-to-the-toronto-international-film-festival-20166.htmlFriends, I’ve come to you today to revel in an abundance of riches.

The TikTok star laid into her ex-“boyfriend” on Twitter last night, after rumors about cheating reared their ugly head. Eighteen-year-old Chase “Lil Huddy” Hudson and 16-year-old D’Amelio were the biggest couple to come out of the Great TikTok Boom of 2019, but Lil Huddy didn’t wanna label it.

It slips into office buildings, factories, hospitals, and apartments, and brutally feeds on the lonely inhabitants within. This villain, however, is not a fictional one.

It may sound perverse, possibly even stupid, to travel nearly 4,000 miles to watch a movie you’ve already seen dozens of times.

Someone tends to get eviscerated in both, via blade, claw, or zinger. But seriously, what links these two forms of after-dark entertainment is the importance of setup and payoff — two elements crucial to landing a joke or a scare. And it’s the second part of that equation, the punch line of sorts, that falls flat in Late Night With the Devil, an otherwise inventive indie chiller that combines the cheap thrills of a midnight movie with the cheap tricks of a midnight ’70s talk show./20137-the-essential-young-thug-a-20-song-guide-to-the-prolific-rapper-20137.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20137-the-essential-young-thug-a-20-song-guide-to-the-prolific-rapper-20137.htmlYoung Thug performs at Grant Park on July 31 in Chicago, Illinois.

And after Gaga shared a wholesome Oscars moment presenting alongside Liza Minnelli, she showed us what a utopian post-slap world looks like by engaging with her fans at the Grammys.

Turner, who died this week at the age of 83, got her start at 18 years old, frequenting the Manhattan Club in St. Louis to watch Ike Turner’s famed Kings of Rhythm perform. Ike recruited her as a backup singer, and two years later she was the main attraction of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, which scorched up and down the Chitlin’ Circuit, playing highly charged soul and rhythm and blues./20195-to-kill-a-mockingbird-author-harper-lee-dead-at-89-20195.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20195-to-kill-a-mockingbird-author-harper-lee-dead-at-89-20195.htmlHarper Lee.

These vacancies may actually have more to do with how many of those luxury apartments have gone unsold than anything else — it turns out that there’s only so much demand for ultrahigh-end properties — but it’s the emotional truth of the situation that matters more./20327-travel-back-to-1996-with-bone-thugs-n-harmony-s-new-song-gangsta-s-glory-20327.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20327-travel-back-to-1996-with-bone-thugs-n-harmony-s-new-song-gangsta-s-glory-20327.htmlWe have the softest spot for Bone Thugs it’s like a soft… giant hole?

But as always with comic-book film and television adaptations, there are plenty of other heroes and villains hiding in plain sight on Jessica Jones. There are also characters with wildly different backstories than the ones we see onscreen, starting with our heroine, Jessica, who actually tried out the masked-avenger thing in the comics before she ultimately became a private investigator …/20153-who-will-score-the-palme-d-or-at-cannes-2024-20153.htmlMon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000youremail@domain.com (Some Person)/20153-who-will-score-the-palme-d-or-at-cannes-2024-20153.htmlBarbie’s mastermind Greta Gerwig has been bopping around this year’s Cannes Film Festival as the jury president, leading the charge on which movie would be crowned the Palme d’Or this evening.
