Movie Reviews and Previews Nightmare Alley continues teasing us Guillermo Del Toro’s Nightmare Alley opens in a month, and so far, it’s the least thirsty of the major awards contenders. I’m sure that will change as we get closer to the press tour and unleashing Bradley Cooper in a year with the toughest dude competition in By Sarah • Nov 19, 2021 11:39 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The other SJP revival Filming on Hocus Pocus 2 has begun, and THIS is the only Sarah Jessica Parker revival I care about. The Sanderson Sisters are back, baby, and looking very Sandersony.

John Cho Intro for November 19, 2021 Dear Gossips, Two LaineyGossip favorites sat on a couch together, as both Kirsten Dunst and John Cho appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden last night.

TV Updates Lizzy Caplan week Lizzy Caplan, perennially underappreciated actor and wearer of an equally underappreciated Emmys dress, has had a busy week. The erstwhile Janis Ian has been announced as the star of a Fatal Attraction television series, which…okay, sure.

TV Updates Nicholas Hoult and Elle Fanning are cheerfully antagonistic The Great season two drops on Hulu this Friday, and in advance of that, Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult cover the digital edition of Entertainment Weekly. I love this format for a show like The Great, because the motion images allows both Hoult and Fanning to really pose in character, By Sarah • Nov 18, 2021 12:34 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Holland Is Very Tired GQ’s annual Men of the Year issue is here, and Tom Holland is on one of the covers as the “Superhero of the Year”. It’s a genial interview, because Holland is a genial guy, though there is a recurring thread about Holland’s disturbed sleep and how his By Sarah • Nov 18, 2021 11:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Lawrence explains Don’t Look Up Upon seeing a teaser for Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up, I called it “a movie we won’t remember in six months”. That is mostly to do with Netflix’s method of releasing so much stuff at once that it is like a veritable fire hose of content By Sarah • Nov 17, 2021 03:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man looks exhausting Remember when, for five whole seconds, Peter Parker was a kid with kid problems, who had to fit his superheroing around school and family obligations? Remember how fun and refreshing that was? That the stakes of a Marvel movie weren’t the fate of the whole world, but just this By Sarah • Nov 17, 2021 09:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews So much for Lethal Weapon 5 Today in Cancel Culture Doesn’t Exist news, Mel Gibson has been tapped to direct Lethal Weapon 5, the next—and hopefully, last—“no one asked for this” installment of the Lethal Weapon franchise.

What Else What Else The MTV Europe Awards are always good for some bonkers fashion, and this year was no exception. (Go Fug Yourself) Kristen Dunst says she had a controlling boyfriend when she was younger. Is she jumping on the Jake G Shade Bandwagon? Or just talking about some random? (DListed) The annual By Sarah • Nov 15, 2021 04:13 pm
TV Updates The Proud Family is back Look at this, it’s a trailer from Disney+ Day that is longer than three seconds. The Proud Family is back, rebooted as The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, set to debut on D+ in February 2022. As An Old, I did not watch The Proud Family in its original By Sarah • Nov 15, 2021 03:32 pm
TV Updates Hawkeye’s branding problem One of the smoother aspects of Disney+ Day was the new Hawkeye clip, probably because it came via Good Morning America and live television demands a certain amount of—maybe not “polish”, because anything can and will go wrong at any moment, but certainly—preparation. So Jeremy Renner popped up By Sarah • Nov 15, 2021 02:53 pm
TV Updates Oh my gosh, The Great! I really enjoyed the first season of The Great, but somewhere in the pandemic fog that has become my brain over the last eighteen months, I totally lost track of its return for season two. But it’s coming back! THIS WEEK! The second season begins on Friday. Here are By Sarah • Nov 15, 2021 01:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews What is Oscar Isaac doing with his voice One major reason Disney+ Day felt like nothing—besides the fact that it is hollow marketing, and thus, actual nothing—is that they didn’t have full trailers for anything they were showing off. It was all title treatments and single images, like the ten-second teaser for Secret Invasion that By Sarah • Nov 15, 2021 12:02 pm
TV Updates Ms. Marvel suits up Friday was “Disney+ Day”, aka a global marketing bonanza in which Disney tried to gin up some interest in new subscriptions for Disney+ after they missed Wall Street expectations and added “just” 2.1 million new subscribers in their fourth quarter. Honestly, the insistence on total global domination is exhausting, By Sarah • Nov 15, 2021 10:25 am
