Back on the costume beat for the LAT Envelope, talking to designer Grace Snell and Jacqueline Durran about their collaborations with Saoirse Ronan in The Outrun and Blitz. They are two v different movies and settings with some surprising overlapping sartorial themes www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Saoirse Ronan's two new films are worlds apart. Their costumes? Not so much
Despite being set more than 70 years apart, London nightlife scenes in the World War II drama 'Blitz' and 'The Outrun’s' 21st century tale of alcoholism and recovery each display a 1930s influence on ...

In my bid to rejoin the offline world, I've been teaching myself how to run, and it's been.....great?? Wild! To that end, I'm running a 5k this weekend, and am so close to hitting the goal if any of you would be so kind as to help this worthy cause: getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/6...

Both seasons of Interview with the Vampire are on Netflix. One of the best literary adaptations in the history of television, it takes all the source material's strengths and transmogrifies all its weaknesses, like The Terror. Cruel, disgusting, sexy as fuck. Plus: Eric Bogosian! Do not walk, RUN.

As Netflix's new historical drama HOUSE OF GUINNESS makes its surprisingly compelling case as the heir apparent to PEAKY BLINDERS, I chatted with breakout star Anthony Boyle about playing another iconic son of Ireland after SAY NOTHING, physicality, mustaches, and more, for Men's Health Magazine.
Anthony Boyle Always Loved to 'Split the G.' 'House of Guinness' Made Him Dive Way Deeper.
The star of Netflix's new hit historical drama talks fitting into Irish history, making the call for his own full-frontal nude scene, and the key to rocking a perfect Arthur Guinness mustache.

Yeah, last year I wrote about a 1993 Time column that is beat-for-beat the same complaints about college kids you hear today.¹ Year before that I wrote about how “woke” companies were just updated “p.c.” gripes.²

This piece gets at something that I've been struggling to articulate: We've seen this exact push-pull before. When Republicans were out of power in the 1990s they invented "political correctness" to pretend they were being censored. Then they went right back to censoring once they had power again.

SAG-AFTRA has released a statement on Tilly Norwood, the AI "performer," saying:

“To be clear, 'Tilly Norwood' is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation."
SAG-AFTRA Statement on Synthetic Performer

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 30, 2025) — SAG-AFTRA has released the following statement on the announcement of “Tilly Norwood,” an A.I.-generated “actor” that is reportedly seeking representation: 

“SAG-AFTRA believes creativity is, and should remain, human-centered. The union is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics. 

“To be clear, “Tilly Norwood” is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation. It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience. It doesn’t solve any “problem” — it creates the problem of using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry. 

“Additionally, signatory producers should be aware that they may not use synthetic performers without complying with our contractual obligations, which generally require notice and bargaining whenever a synthetic performer is going to be used.”

Trump just announced a 100% tariff on foreign movies—five months after he last announced he was going to do it and Hollywood freaked it and no one was ever able to pin down how a tariff on a film would even work. New post provides no further details.
Trump Truth Social post, May, 4, 2025: 
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN! Trump Truth Social post, Sept. 29, 2025: Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing “candy from a baby.” California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT

They might not be making movies together anymore but both Sadie brothers got trailers before the One Battle After Another showing I saw today and I think that is lovely (which I loved btw and now all I can think about is that final road sequence and that I am sad Duster was canceled).

I wish writing this kind of piece was no longer necessary. But we don’t live in that world. We live in a world in which this person was rewarded with a S2, which premiered this week. Presumably something none of these companies (incl Disney at the top) had a problem with. Still hope you’ll read this

Even if you don’t watch the show English Teacher, hope you'll read this. This is about more than 1 show, 1 guy.

FX just renewed a show from a man facing allegations of assault. I have a LOT of questions about the implications not just for FX but for the whole industry www.salon.com/2025/02/12/f...
FX’s renewal of "English Teacher" sends a dangerous message
FX's decision to look past allegations against Brian Jordan Alvarez signals a troubling disregard for survivors.
