It’s live! I sat down with Celine Song last Sunday for @awards_watch to talk Materialists, how it reflects her filmmaking ambitions, and working with her crackerjack trio of Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. A wonderful chat!

It may have come as a surprise to film lovers when Celine Song announced that her sophomore feature would be a romantic comedy. After all, the Canadian filmmaker’s debut, Past Lives, set the entert…

Sorry but I love him. He’s a happy goober sack of toxic goo and he’s all that matters. And I love that all the Mega Evolutions are doofy looking.

I’m thrilled people are picking up on A Different Man, but I wish they picked up on it earlier because it’s insane that it missed out on Oscar nominations for Actor, Supporting Actor, and Screenplay (I would also say Picture, but that might be a bridge too far for the Academy).

Marvel made a big marketing whoop-dee-do about Thunderbolts being a real, A24-esque movie…*checks notes*…four months ago.
Alan Cumming says he doesn’t know who he was acting with half the time when filming ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’:. “I did the entire film in isolation. Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names. I don’t know who I was acting with half the time.”

Kinda the point of this tweet but Austin Butler’s long black coat at the Dune: Part Two premiere was one of the best celebrity menswear moments of last year and I still haven’t figured out who the designer was. 😔.

I feel like there’s a psychological reason for why Elon and Zuckerberg tossed out brands that had genuine cultural value and replaced them with brands that either meant nothing (X) or was hitched to something that never took off (Meta).

“I don’t need to put down a Black woman to advance my music.”. He whacked a whole audience full of people with that one.

I’ve been so exhausted by the Pedro Pascal discourse, largely because most of it came from people operating in .terrible faith (and some of those people should be sued for libel). JP’s piece is proof you can compellingly interrogate an actor’s persona. Read this!.
Pedro Pascal is everywhere in 2025, and somehow it doesn’t feel like too much. From 'The Materialists' to Marvel’s 'Fantastic Four,' he’s redefining the leading man, making vulnerability magnetic. I wrote about why his presence feels inevitable: .

What’s funny (i.e. tragic, infuriating, send the meteor) is that a cultural critic could provide the context and understanding that should accompany any kind of sharing of Third Reich material. Instead, we have an account just passing links around and sending us deeper into hell.

I think I would’ve liked Eddington better if it were focused on Austin and Emma’s story.

I was pretty lukewarm on Honey Don’t! overall, but I do appreciate that it allowed me to slip in references to American Horror Story: Coven, “America’s Ass,” and one of the best closers I think I’ve written this year, so that’s something!
