Sarah Michelle Gellar: Curtain bangs and cape dresses

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s been making headlines this week while promoting Ready or Not 2 because of the Buffy reboot. Duana addressed this in her manifesto the other day and the only thing I have to add is that Variety ended up publishing an “exclusive” about the Buffy situation that

Dear Gossips, An hour after BTS released their new album, ARIRANG, last night (at noon in Korea), RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook went live on YouTube for a Studio Notes session to talk about the new tracks. At one point in the conversation, the members remarked

BTS ARIRANG: Human, Hungry, Horny

This is not an album review. As a hardcore fan of BTS, it’s probably not possible for me to be completely objective about the new album, ARIRANG. In my opinion, they did it, they delivered, under all that pressure and expectation, having been away for so long, and their

Ryan Gosling in Project Hail Mary

Aliens have long been a target of human paranoia. Since the earliest days of science-fiction, aliens have been imagined as the universe’s great equalizers, come to Earth to destroy and punish humanity for being locusts upon our own planet.

Is The Studio tackling awards season?

The Studio is still filming scenes for season two in Venice, Italy, and, duh, it just occurred to me that they’re probably doing something with the Venice Film Festival, right? They have filmed scenes at real events before, notably the Golden Globes in season one, but they also recreated

Rosalía’s ballet and opera

Whether intentional or not, so much of pop culture seems to be a rebuke of Timothée Chalamet’s controversial comments about ballet and opera right now – from ballets and opera houses around the world leveraging the moment to promote their artforms to Timmy becoming the butt of the joke during

Being Beloved Is Buffy’s Curse

Being Beloved Is Buffy’s Curse

Famed screenwriter William Goldman said it best – “Sequels Are Whores’ Movies”. Modernised for today’s world, I guess you could paraphrase it, “Reboots Are Whores’ Series”. Too much? Too strong for this early in the day, or to be associated with the recently-murdered Buffy reboot? Not at all. If anything,
