Can you feel the Kenergy? Greta Gerwig felt the Kenergy long before anyone else did, but getting it from her brain to the big screen was no small feat. During an interview at the BFI London Film Festival, the Barbie writer-director revealed that the already beloved third act dance sequence — which makes Ryan Gosling's Ken the center of an elaborate dream ballet — was almost nixed from the script. Thankfully, she was able to explain to executives why it absolutely needed to happen.
Love is in the air on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy! Everyone who is currently on — or used to be on — the Grey Sloan Memorial roster is hooking up, and I'm here for it. With all these happy endorphins rushing through the hospital hallways, I will choose to believe that Teddy (Kim Raver) doesn't die and will be returning next season to deal with a medical condition that has to be more significant than a toothache.
It's been six months since everyone we know walked out of Grey Sloan Memorial, leaving Meredith to figure out how she could single-handedly save the residency program. It seems there are two vital ingredients in this particular recipe. Throw enormous amounts of money toward state-of-the-art operating rooms and recruit attending surgeons who may have more moxie than stellar grades. That means we have a brand new roster of names to learn this season.
Earlier today, creator Shonda Rhimes told EW that in addition to a big death, viewers should be prepared for something bad to happen in next week's season finale. Knowing that, I watched the penultimate episode with bated breath, constantly looking for clues of what impending doom might befall Seattle Grace next week. I watched Arizona break the news to her brother's best friend Nick that his cancer was incurable, and thought that maybe this would lead to a bigger storyline.
When a "viewer discretion is advised" warning pops up before Meredith's opening monologue, you sit a little straighter. Your mind steels itself for a weighty topic. And when the focus is sexual assault, you pay close attention. I think the Grey's Anatomy team handled a controversial subject matter exceptionally well. Writer Elizabeth Finch and director Debbie Allen deserve a standing ovation for their storytelling skills. Camilla Luddington (Jo), Khalilah Joi (Abby), and Michelle Forbes (Vicki) should receive all the awards for incredible acting.
It's all hands on deck at Grey Sloan Memorial on this week's Grey's Anatomy. A guy named Sam shimmied into his favorite wingsuit, based jumped off a cliff, and slammed into a boulder breaking ninety-three bones. How he's alive and managing to flirt with Jo (Camilla Luddington) is a complete miracle. Link (Chris Carmack) is just the man to put this human jigsaw back together. And he'd like to do it in well-planned, responsible stages like a respectable surgeon.
Grimes (metaphorically) raised her Met Gala sword to former partner Elon Musk's views on personal pronouns and trans people. "I don't want to talk about this too much," the Canadian recording artist told Wired magazine when asked about some of her children's father's views on social issues, following an estrangement controversy involving Musk's trans daughter from a prior marriage and his publicized views on gender identity. "But take the trans thing.
Another week, another cute literary reference from the Grimm writers. We open with the Grimm team continuing to puzzle over the meaning of Eve’s tunnel carving/calendar. It could mean a plague, a rain of frogs, locusts… or something even weirder, Monroe offers. Also weird? Eve’s feelings about living with Nick and Adalind, because awkward. Monrosalee offer her a spot in their home, but she declines, opting for a cot in the spice shop.
Class will soon be dismissed over at Cal U. Freeform announced Wednesday that Grown-ish has been renewed for a sixth and final season. The conclusion of the Black-ish spin-off will air in two parts, with season 6A returning in the summer and season 6B following in 2024. Hailing from Kenya Barris and Larry Wilmore, Grown-ish has followed Zoey Johnson (Yara Shahidi), the eldest daughter of Andre (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow Johnson (Tracee Ellis Ross), as she heads to college and navigates the trials and tribulations of young adulthood.
The lasting images from the peak of Guns N’ Roses’ reign are all epic: The massive stadium crowds, the white leather suits, the entirety of the “November Rain” video. It’s difficult to consider them as a club band, and yet just like all big bands before them, they had to start somewhere. In an effort to remind the world that Axl & Co. used to be, uh, smaller, Guns N’ Roses announced that they will play a series of shows at small venues in February.
