Style Intro for August 29, 2018 Dear Gossips, Yesterday I posted about Naomi Watts on the LifeStyle page and her Venice Film Festival wardrobe. Naomi’s on the jury, led by Guillermo del Toro. Christoph Waltz is there too. And Sylvia Chang and director Malgorzata Szumowska. And Trine Dyrholm. Oh …and Taika Waititi. So if we’ By Lainey • Aug 29, 2018 09:03 am
Quiveration It’s Taika Time! with bonus Paul Rudd Taika Waititi, as far as we know, is not directing another Marvel movie. He directed the third installment in Chris Hemsworth’s reign as Thor, and unless Hemsworth renegotiates, he’ll be done after Avengers 4 next year, so it’s not like there’s already another Thor movie in By Sarah • Apr 24, 2018 11:28 am
BFFs Someone explained it to Matt Damon Late last year, Matt Damon was promoting Downsizing when the Hollywood Predator Advent Calendar was opening its doors every day to show us a new piece of sh-t. And, well, Matt talked out of his ass. On a couple of occasions. Follow those links if you need a refresher, we By Lainey • Jan 17, 2018 10:08 am
BFFs Chris Hemsworth’s post-Globes gossip I typically refer to Chris Hemsworth in one of three ways: as the Not-As-Hot Hemsworth, the Third (Sometimes Second) Best Chris, or Taika Waititi’s Less Attractive Friend. This week, to me, he’s just the guy who played third wheel to new besties Taika and Angelina Jolie at the By Kathleen • Jan 11, 2018 01:30 pm
Golden Globes 2018 Taika, Angelina, Chris: the Globes best table Stop shouting. Obviously I know that Oprah’s was the best table and they should all have been so lucky to be able to sit at Oprah’s table for the enlightenment. But can we say that there are other “best” tables in different ways? Like the best gossipy table? By Lainey • Jan 08, 2018 12:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Thor smash First Thor: Ragnarok got hugely positive reviews—including mine— making it one of the highest-rated superhero movies ever. And then it opened to huge box office, raking in an estimated $121 million over the weekend (and don’t be surprised if the actuals are a little higher). Going into the By Sarah • Nov 06, 2017 08:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Taika Waititi delivers the Thor you didn’t know you wanted Thor: Ragnarok begins with a visual gag that’s a little bit weird and a little bit macabre and 100% indicative of what a ride Ragnarok will be. Reimagined by Taika Waititi as a Flash Gordon-inspired sci-fi/fantasy caper, and catering to Chris Hemsworth’s latent comedy skills, Ragnarok is By Sarah • Nov 02, 2017 03:44 pm
Quiveration Taika Waititi is perfect As soon as I found out I would be producing a segment with Taika Waititi on The Social, I emailed Sarah, our resident Taika stan. The first time Sarah wrote about Taika was two years ago. She’s been yelling at us for two years to pay attention to the By Kathleen • Nov 01, 2017 04:47 pm
Style Taika at the harbour Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth, and Mark Ruffalo have been in Sydney the last couple of days promoting Thor: Ragnarok. We need this palate cleanser right now. You know what’s great about this combination? There’s someone here for everyone. Chris Hemsworth is for your pinup dreams. And, of course, By Lainey • Oct 17, 2017 10:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for October 11, 2017 Dear Gossips, Let’s start the day with a bright spot in Hollywood: Taika Waititi and the Taika Fashion Tour. The Thor: Ragnarok premiere happened last night in LA. Taika wore a gorgeous wine-colour suit with a pink tie. And, as usual, made a case for a man being among By Lainey • Oct 11, 2017 09:03 am
Style Intro for October 3, 2017 Dear Gossips, Thor: Ragnarok will open in exactly a month from today, on November 3. Which means that, very soon, the cast and their charismatic director will be promoting the sh-t out of the movie around the world. Which means that we will soon see that charismatic director, Taika Waititi, By Lainey • Oct 03, 2017 08:58 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Hemsworth is a solid dude Taika Waititi’s birthday was last week, and to wish him a happy birthday—and promote Thor: Ragnarok—Chris Hemsworth posted a photo on Instagram, which Maria put in yesterday’s Smutty Social Media, of Taika and him each bussing Sir Anthony Hopkins on the cheek. It’s cute! They’ By Sarah • Aug 22, 2017 03:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hulk talks, Taika’s style, and Michelle Pfeiffer joins the MCU…what? Every year people are like, Who “won” Comic Con? And every year the answer is: Marvel. No one puts on a better show, and you know they’ve got the magic touch when they don’t actually have to release anything online and they STILL get the most hype. They By Sarah • Jul 24, 2017 11:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews He’s a friend from work The first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok—Taika Waititi’s new and improved Thor—is here, and if you still need any convincing that Waititi is the right person to save Thor, let it be the moment that Thor sees the Hulk in a gladiator’s arena, pure delight spreading across By Sarah • Apr 10, 2017 11:38 am
Dumbass Chris Hemsworth acknowledges his ignorance Last year during a “Lone Ranger” themed costume party Chris Hemsworth—and his wife, Elsa Pataky—dressed up as Native Americans. As you can imagine, that didn’t over very well, but at the time, Hemsworth didn’t really say anything about it. But then, on Friday, he posted a By Sarah • Oct 31, 2016 09:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Thor’s roommate Darryl At Comic-Con Marvel had several videos that played during their panel, but they only released one, a new trailer for Doctor Strange. Everything else stayed under the seal of Hall H, because it is possible to show stuff in Hall H and not have it pirated, you just have to By Sarah • Aug 29, 2016 02:28 pm
