I did not like Digger, but I do sort of appreciate what Digger represents? (For Tom Cruise's career, I mean. The movie is bad.) www.vanityfair.com/story/tom-cr...

‘Digger,’ Tom Cruise’s Comeback Vehicle, Is Haunted by the Ghost of the Old Tom Cruise
Alejandro González Iñárritu’s new film is the most interesting movie Cruise has made in 15 years—but it might not spark the renaissance Cruise seems to hope it will.

Mrs. America is not perfect, but it does have a lot going for it—namely, great performances (Rose Byrne as Gloria Steinem! Cate Blanchett as Phyllis Schlafly!) and a knockout episode in which Sarah Paulson *almost* has a feminist awakening. Worth revisiting imo! www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

Christopher Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ Is Going to Drive the Right Wing Completely Insane
The Oscar winner’s latest is a Trojan horse of a film: a rip-roaring blockbuster secretly carrying a sober meditation on civility and intolerance. And Elon Musk is going to despise it.

Couldn't fit this into the piece, but the belief that the left needs its own oaf means that Trump is still dictating the rules of engagement. Believing 1) white working class men are the voters that matter and 2) that they will only vote for themselves is just MAGA with a different coat of paint.

This Danceteria oral history is one of the most fun stories I’ve worked on. The club was a home for artsy misfits, incubating future stars like Madonna and Beastie Boys, Keith Haring, and Karen Finley. New wave, drag and hip hop rubbed up against each other.
