'The Beauty' Episode 6 recap: The friends justify the means
This weekβs episode of The Beauty shows how the friendless Byron Forst first turned his newfound super-handsome condition into a market colossus.
This week's episode of The Beauty includes Ashton Kutcher dancing to Tame Impala in his underwear and a pair of workers who introduce the idea that not everyone who wants the miracle drug has shallow, sleazy, or sociopathic reasons for wanting it.

In 'Dawson's Creek,' James Van Der Beek carried himself like a Disney prince come to life
As the seasons went on, Dawson started to feel less like the hero of his eponymous show than its villain.
Iβm grateful that @taraariano.com picked up the Bat Phone when I rang her earlier today, because as she sagely notes in this appreciation of James Van Der Beek/DAWSONβS CREEK, no one outside of his immediate family has thought about him more than Mrs. DawsonsWrap herself. decider.com/2026/02/11/d...

'Too Much' Episode 10 Recap: Be My Wife
Lena Dunham cranks the wedding-comedy βand they all lived happily ever afterβ dial to eleven.
My mom used to call romantic comedies "sappy crappies." Too Much pulls off the trick of being sappy (complimentary) without being crappy. Heck of a rom-com!

In this remembrance, @glennkenny.bsky.social describes Michale Madsen as cinemaβs greatest on-screen βman you donβt want to mess withβ since Lee Marvin. I think heβs right.

They don't make 'em like Michael Madsen anymore. Dangerous, magnetic, unhinged. Charisma for days. His partnership with Quentin Tarantino defined '90s indie coolness. Still sad QT's Untitled Vega Brothers Project never came together.

ALT: a man and a woman looking out a window
"We built this prison in 8 days" very much reminds me of the opening scene of FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES when the elevator bellhop says "they finished the Sky Needle 2 months ahead of schedule" (or something to that effect). What could possibly go wrong?!?

Can't get enough of these videos of Peter Thiel being asked by a friendly interviewer to "just say you're not the antichrist, out loud" followed by Thiel making various deep sea creature noises for 30 seconds before going "it's uh it's uh it's uh there are a lot of declensions here, interestingly,"

Vogue cover with Lauren Sanchez on tbe cover, in her wedding dress. Not to be unkind, but it's a fashion nightmare.

Baumbach and Stiller were both working through some serious shit in this one. Very possibly the definitive Gen X midlife crisis movie.

The movie poster for Jim Henson's 1981 film THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER featuring Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo breaking out of an old newspaper as Miss Piggy soars above them on a motorcycle.
On this date in 1981, THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER was released in theaters across the United States. Given the success of 1979's THE MUPPET MOVIE, a sequel was inevitable though getting there was a bit tricky, with script issues and some Muppet science problems to solve.
