I wrote about the NHL's "Hot for Hockey" nonsense and why their condescending attempts to give female fans a crumb of recognition is doomed to fail. www.pajiba.com/miscellaneou...

In the aftermath of the Rust shooting, Alec Baldwin starred in a trashy reality series and a serious documentary, both intended to reveal the "real" Bladwin. They're very odd viewing experiences. I wrote about them for @avclub.com. www.avclub.com/the-trial-of...

Trashy TV and a serious documentary struggle to make entertainment out of Alec Baldwin's Rust trauma

Despite their formal differences, doc The Trial Of Alec Baldwin and reality show The Baldwins have the same arrogant aim.

I posit to you, dear reader, that Robert Pattinson is the new Nic Cage. I wrote my thesis for @avclub.com. www.avclub.com/robert-patti...

Robert Pattinson is the new Nicolas Cage

Robert Pattinson and Nicolas Cage both get weird to find something more exciting in a landscape obsessed with realism.

It's not just Jack Haven. Many of your favourite actors are struggling right now. Being famous doesn't necessarily mean you're also rich, and the majority of SAG members don't qualify for health insurance. I wrote about it. www.pajiba.com/film_reviews...

Is there a film/book/album/game/TV show you haven't tried out yet that you're dying to experience for the first time? I really want to watch Abel Gance's Napoleon, read The Brothers Karamazov, listen to Bitches Brew, play Earthbound, and watch Madoka Magica!

Newsom vetoing attempts to stave off fascist overreach because he’s worried it might limit his power as an executive is so on brand I’m surprised he didn’t announce the decision first on his podcast with Ben Shapiro.

The lawyer representing the parents, Vernadette Broyles, also represented Jaime Reed, the so-called whistleblower from a Missouri gender clinic whose accounts were contradicted by patients and parents. Broyles works closely with the Alliance Defending Freedom.

Signing up to a newsletter, paying the $6 to read the paid tiers, then cancelling the payment once you've read it is pretty sleazy. Please don't do that.

‘Grace of My Heart,’ @ceilidhann.bsky.social writes, is “a story about how being a woman shapes your creativity, whether it's through battling workplace sexism, juggling the duties of motherhood, or simply navigating spaces that were never meant to accommodate you.” buff.ly/fn85mzH

Grace of My Heart Portrays the Thrill of the ’60s Music Scene Better Than Any Biopic — Crooked Marquee

While it’s not technically the Carole King story, Allison Anders's 1996 music drama brings her creativity and curiosity to life better than a traditional biopic.

When I was a kid, there was a rumour that Marilyn Manson had some of his ribs removed so that he could, well, you know. Where did that rumour come from, why did it stick around, and is it even possible? I investigated. gossip-reading-club.ghost.io/prince-maril...

"It would be amazing if this film revealed something new and incriminating about this creep but I am sceptical. Besides, we already know so much about Musk and it hasn’t made him any less powerful or dangerous. But it has annoyed him, which is something!" Great write-up by @ceilidhann.bsky.social
