Even if you were able to accept the split rationally, as an amicable parting of ways, there’s still this hard truth to swallow: The Patriots didn’t pay to keep Brady around. They let him walk, only to turn around and see that his 43-year-old revenge body was just fine without them, pliable enough to make

Paris, beyond being the city of love, makes for an atmospheric and visually pleasing film setting. Whether the story involves characters falling in love, discovering something about themselves, or learning the history of France, the setting often makes the story more enjoyable for viewers and encourages characters to go exploring. Here are six great films

I like Reptilicus. I really mean that. I don’t like it in that peculiar, ironic way that so many approach genre films with. I also don’t like it because it’s “so bad it’s good”, which is just another brand of the ironic consumer. I like Reptilicus because I enjoy it, wholeheartedly.   Reptilicus tells the story of a giant, prehistoric reptile brought

I think it was problematic for Warner Bros. at the time. I had an exec there tell me one time, “This is a great script, it just needs a different ending. It needs to have a more formulaic ending. We need to know because the audience won’t take this.” To a degree, I’m sure he

Sometimes actions have consequences, even for a successful white man in Nashville. That’s the conclusion you might draw after the country music industry’s apparently swift and unequivocal response to a video showing Morgan Wallen using the phrase “pussy-ass n****r” as he returned home with friends after a night out. The video, taken by the 27-year-old

“Do you ever think of showers as like a new beginning?” 20-year-old Leeds-based songwriter Amber Strawbridge asks on the opening track of her new EP, Sometimes I Forget You’re Human Too.

There’s never been a great reason for the Golden Globe Awards to exist. At best, they’re a kind of diet soda version of other awards shows, a slimmed-down combination of the Oscars and the Emmys, At worst, they’re a pale imitation of those institutions that devalues the loftier honors by throwing out nominations and awards

Not content with directing and scoring some of the greatest pictures in the history of cinema, John Carpenter has also spent recent years putting out albums full of amazing electronic cuts, together with his son Cody Carpenter on guitar and godson Daniel Davies on keyboards.

Bly’s book and accompanying gatherings sparked national attention (and plenty of blowback), but by the mid-90s his moment had largely dissipated. Now, in this age of post-Me Too reckoning, men’s groups with similar DNA have sprung up again–but this time with less Jung, greater diversity, and a lot of social media-savvy (similar nouveau-mythopoetic men’s groups

Sacred Bones has announced the release of the debut full-length album from an artist named Luca Yupanqui. If that name doesn’t sound familiar, it’s probably because the artist is literally the toddler-aged daughter of Psychic Ills bassist Elizabeth Hart and Lee Scratch Perry producer Iván Diaz Mathé, who recorded the album while she was literally

Danish punk band Iceage have signed to Mexican Summer and released their first single for the label, ‘The Holding Hand’. The track comes with a video directed by Anders Malmberg.

Ben Howard has shared a new song from his upcoming album, Collections From The Whiteout. It’s called ‘Crowhursts’s Meme’ and it follows last month’s ‘What a Day’. Check it out below.

Your search for an agency providing creative direction is not one that should be taken lightly. No matter whether you need creative direction for the production of a theatre show or a live dance performance, the weight of your decision is massive. It could make or break the production you are putting on. After all,

Evan Rachel Wood released a statement this morning (February 1) accusing Marilyn Manson, her former boyfriend, of abuse.

Are you two in talks for another collaboration sometime soon? Yes, we do have something in mind. It’s something he wrote a long time ago, and he never got it made. Now he’s refined it, and he wants to shoot it. Hopefully it’ll be this summer we’ll be filming. I would say, without giving the

Handled with less care and empathy, some of Arlo Parks’ attempts at providing comfort in times of crisis might come off as familiar platitudes.
