Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes and not Joshua Jackson

Fourteen years ago this summer, the scandal that had the gossip ecosystem in a chokehold was the Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise divorce. It was a bombshell – not just on the public but, reportedly, on him too, because she exited herself out of his life with the stealth of a

13 Going on 2027

It’s been known for a while that Netflix is doing a remake of 13 Going on 30 with Emily Bader and Logan Lerman in the lead roles originally played by Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. Yesterday however they made additional casting confirmations. I haven’t watched the movie in

Dork Storm 2026: Dorkrooms

Comic-Con begins today. I knew it was coming but at the same time, it took me a little bit by surprise, in part because it seems like July has just flown by, but also because the run up to Comic-Con feels…muted, compared to what it was a

Erling Haaland’s birthday upgrade

The World Cup has been over for three days. Some people are happy they don’t have to hear about football anymore, and some people are in withdrawal that there’s no more wall-to-wall football coverage. No matter how you feel about all that football though, it’s

Travis Scott’s Odyssean ambitions

There are so many storylines related to Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey – within the film itself and orbiting the film if you expand the conversation to include its cast, and the gossip, whether it’s about the box office or Tomdaya or award season chances. Probably not surprising given the

Tom Holland on his wife and his tenure

Before we get to the ooey gooey, let’s talk about where Tom Holland is right now, metaphorically. As Telemachus in The Odyssey, he’s just given the best we’ve seen of his career so far. Which means I vehemently disagree with Variety’s cast and character ranking of

Living wives in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey

Living wives in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey

No one in modern cinema loves a dead wife more than Christopher Nolan, whose oeuvre is littered with dead women, haunting their men, sometimes literally, from the beyond. These spectral spouses—in the case of Oppenheimer, it is a dead mistress—drive Nolan’s protagonists through his timey-wimey narratives

Dine out on my Batman conspiracy theory

I really, really liked Matt Reeves’ The Batman when it came out in 2022, since then, it has only risen in my estimation. I think it’s one of the best superhero movies ever made, and arguably the best Batman movie ever made. The film, released into the only-just-
