I wanted to learn more about the collage artist Mary Lum, and was surprised to find her included in Grokepedia, which helpfully informs me that she was born in 1951 in St. Cloud, MN, and died in 1815 at the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane.
Daryl Hannah has written a scathing New York Times guest essay excoriating Ryan Murphy's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.
Her choice in projects has always been interesting, more so now with her brother’s mogul moves.
Marcello Hernández not only based SNL's "Mr. Fronzi" on a real person, he went the extra mile to see to it that said prep school teacher had a front row seat to it all.
I appreciate it.
There a subtle differences, but the telltale is the person who says “I am hispanic, not latino” usually means they view themselves as white, even though Latino covers white people as well as indigenous and afro-latino.
Latinos/hispanics are not one culture. If people actually look at specific cultures, they will find some tend to skew left and others skew right. The trumpy latinos in Florida don’t give a —- about left leaning latinos in California. Honestly I am so over that being used as a demographic.

Netflix says it is backing out of a bid to acquire Warner Brothers, which means David Ellison’s Paramount is likely to move forward as primary bidder and potentially take control of the company that owns Warner Bros., CNN, HBO, and a vast portfolio of film, tv, and streaming assets.
I enjoy this picture because it looks as though she is shocked at her own hijinks.
I think the BAFTAs as an organization needs to publicly apologize to Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, regardless of whether Davidson had any control over himself
As a Californian, I agree with you. I would normally make a joke about Mexican food, but as Canada and Australia were both British colonies, whereas California was a Spanish colony, and then part of Mexico, culturally there is a significant difference.

All of this, but adding that Q Lazarus (Goodbye Horses) like Clarice Starling, is remembered all these years later for talent and drive that defied expectations.
Gore Verbinski’s movies made billions, until they didn’t. Why it took almost ten years for the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ director’s comeback: a sci-fi indie movie called ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.’

How can I stream the Olympic Broadcasting Service in the United States? Finally got around to watching the Parade of Nations on Peacock, which sadly was mostly interviews with athletes talking over the coverage of the countries.
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

My film school nerdy self is re-emerging. Javier Bardem is capable of filling DeNiro’s and Mitchum’s shoes immaculately.
when someone like Tina Brown says it was stupid for them for leave behind all the royal real estate, it's like she doesn't understand that sticking around in that world means cultivating rich people to help you pay to keep the real estate updated
Ripe for the sociopaths taking! Not that this absolves guilt on anyone’s part.

There is an episode in the 7th season where she goes on an outing with her son, who is super excited to have this time with her, and treats him in the most vile, toxic, gaslighting way. My heart broke for him and the man he would become.
