The footage of PADDINGTON THE MUSICAL looks so fun and cute... and I'd be lying if I said the live-action bear didn't freak me out.

In your humble opinion, what are the best alternatives to Spotify?

LEGEND: D'Angelo - DIASPORA LEGEND: D'Angelo

I have included D'Angelo in a new section of the flagship DIASPORA site called "Dossier" where we highlight a person, a moment in history, and/or a piece of art or media that has impacted culture! thediasporatimes.com/2025/10/15/l...

I know I can survive without social media. If I can quit drinking and quit smoking, I can quit social media. If anything, I need to make a lean social media diet. I need the paleo diet of social. But also, the best method that helped me quit smoking was quitting cold turkey. I'm considering it.

I am manifesting me and Kelly Clarkson singing this at karaoke in the near future.

I was in chorale in high school and sometimes our student director would warm us up when our actual director was busy at the beginning of rehearsal. One time, during our warm up exercises, she said "Now, go down on 'mi'" and she was the only one who didn't realize what she just said out loud.

I just clicked a video with a young woman who was I am guessing was between 17-21 years old that pronounced the name "Phoebe" as "FOE-BEE".

The only thing that gets me out of bed every morning is the jar of homemade overnight oats I get to eat for breakfast every morning.

'HIM' Isn't The G.O.A.T., But It's A Filmmaking Evolution For Justin Tipping Issue No. 63: 'HIM' feels at home in the Monkeypaw universe.

HIM is a fun moviegoing experience and is visually stunning, but isn't quite the horror movie it wants to be. However, the film still speaks to Justin Tipping's distinct point of view which I would like to see more of...

Hey ABC and Disney -- how is the view from your knees? Hope your gag reflex isn't acting up.

I mean, why is everyone still talking about that guy?

As with all films, I was asked by a publicist my initial reaction to Nia DaCosta's queer infused adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler", HEDDA starring Tessa Thompson.

I responded: "It was absolutely cunty."

QUESTION: Do any of my journo peers have any psychologist/sociologist/psychiatrist resources? I am working on a story regarding cults. :)

I received an email with a subject line "Whimsy is back" and it just really irritated me.

Film festival coverage is extra annoying this year. I don't care about thirsty viral interviews, pointless standing ovations, or red carpet lewks (even if they are serving). I want to know if the films are good, what the acquisition game is like, and if there is an industry worth caring about.

A standing ovation does not mean it's a going to be a good movie for the masses. Didn't JOKER FOLIE A DEAUX and BLONDE get like 10 minute standing ovations or some shit? Please don't put any weight on standing ovations at film festivals. they don't really mean anything. Judge the movie for yourself.
