Movie Reviews and Previews The Love Triangle of the Summer If this is a trend, I like it: a pop culture love triangle every summer. At the movies.

Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans vs Pedro Pascal Celine Song’s Past Lives is a heartbreaker of a film, at once dreamy and romantic, and pragmatic about the realities of life, of the way people ebb and flow from our lives, and how love changes shape, or doesn’t, over time. Her follow-up film, Materialists, seems cut By Sarah • Mar 19, 2025 09:51 am
Style Stars in NYC A couple weeks ago, Lainey wrote about Anne Hathaway filming Verity, the newest Colleen Hoover adaptation being thrust upon us, noting how “glamorous and elegant” Annie looks in character.

Faux Gossip Dakota and Chris: A Non-Story Why am I posting about a non-story? We’ve been conditioned to be skeptical of celebrities when they’re perceived to be protesting too much and over at The Squawk there have been some questions about the latest pap shots of Dakota Johnson that were taken shortly after those By Lainey • Aug 19, 2024 11:23 am
Style Dakota back in Ralphcore At this point, yes, I am just trolling Maria by setting her up for requests for “As Seen On Social Media”. Dakota Johnson is back on the set of Materialists in New York, rocking new outfits for Maria to source. One should be easy, it’s just classic jeans and By Sarah • Jun 06, 2024 12:28 pm
Style Dakota and Chris again Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans continue work on Celine Song’s Materialists in New York, and I am highlighting these set photos mainly because it’s funny to me that every time Dakota pops up on set, someone asks Maria to source her wardrobe, including in today's As By Sarah • Jun 05, 2024 01:34 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Now it’s Chris’s turn Filming of Celine Song’s Materialists continues in New York, and I thought I was the only one salivating over maybe-single Dakota Johnson’s character’s wardrobe, but apparently, a bunch of you asked Maria to source her fits, so I am not alone in wanting all of these By Sarah • May 31, 2024 01:23 pm
As Seen on Social Media As Seen On Social Media: Dakota Johnson in Ralphcore, Millie Bobby Brown in gingham Dakota Johnson on set Yesterday, Lainey posted some photos of Dakota Johnson on set and then I was asked about other photos of her on set in a blue baseball cap.

Break Ups Is Dakota Johnson single? Jacek is posting today in lieu of Emily so it seems like the gossip gods are giving him with some Dakota Johnson content.

TV Updates Andrew Scott won’t let up The Talented Mr. Ripley is a near perfect film. (It’s also a movie the youths [re]discover every six months or so and realize Gwyneth Paltrow used to be a great actor.) There’s no real need to remake it, except that it has been remade, so we can By Sarah • Mar 05, 2024 11:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews 10 Questions About Madame Web What is Madame Web?
