This will teach me to take a vacation. Twilight‘s Robert Pattinson cut his hair before the holidays, and I totally missed it. I only found out about it now because I saw this headline on People‘s website: PEOPLE Readers Sound Off on Pattinson’s New Cut. I cannot believe that people actually spent time debating whether he looked hotter before or after…when clearly, the answer is after. Only 56 percent of People readers agree with me.
Image Credit: Everett CollectionWhile my local Target happily broke out its festive red-and-green decorations before Halloween this year, personally, I’m just not all that comfortable finding Bing Crosby unironically cool, untangling a twisting string of tiny lights, and watching my favorite Christmas movies until after my calendar reaches its final page. And whaddaya know, today is December 1! Happy holidays, PopWatchers! So: What movie should I watch? Actually, if you’re my boyfriend or my mom, that’s a terribly silly question, since the obvious answer is that 2003 ensemble British gem Love Actually, which I believe I watched at least three times last year.
If you’ve watched TV, read a magazine, walked around a major city, or simply been online in the last few weeks, it’s likely you’ve come across Amy Schumer at least a few dozen times. The newly minted Emmy nominee has found plenty of praise and success for her Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer, been on the cover of GQ, Entertainment Weekly, and many more, and now she’s debuting in her first lead film role with the Judd Apatow-directed Trainwreck.
At the New York Film Festival premiere of The Favourite, director Yorgos Lanthimos told The Hollywood Reporter, “Some of the things in the film are accurate and a lot aren’t.” Although the film includes some obvious historical anachronisms for the sake of style (like a certain dance-off scene), the core of the story — a monarch heavily influenced by her female favorites (er, favourites), particularly Duchess Sarah Churchill (ancestor of Winston Churchill) and Sarah’s cousin Abigail Masham — is accurate in spirit.
Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis) and Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) didn't get their happily ever after on That '70s Show. The former high school sweethearts ended the iconic series as exes, and Jackie was in a relationship with Fez (Wilmer Valderrama). But they're all alright now — 20 years later, the characters found their way back to each other in That '90s Show. Netflix's 1995-set revival series reveals in the premiere that Jackie and Kelso are actually back together.
What do a grocery store, a diner, and The Matrix Resurrections have in common? We can thank all of them for Dogstar's origin story and comeback. Keanu Reeves, Robert Mailhouse, and Bret Domrose's rock band formed in 1991 after a chance encounter in Southern California's supermarket Gelson's, when Reeves saw Mailhouse wearing a Detroit Red Wings top and struck up a conversation with him. The two bonded over their shared love of hockey and became fast friends.
Let the Right One In executive producer Andrew Hinderaker admits that his small-screen version of John Ajvide Lindqvist's 2004 vampire novel was not the easiest project he could have chosen as a first-time showrunner. "A showrunning mentor of mine said that if you want to make a shoot difficult and hard to achieve, the things that you want to make sure you employ are winter, exterior, nights, children, action, special effects,"
Warning: This article contains spoilers about Magic Mike's Last Dance. Smart movie franchises have a signature sound — an aural trigger that instantly brings you into the universe. For Star Wars, it's Darth Vader's masked, mechanized rasp. For Jaws, it's two ominous notes, played over and over. And for Magic Mike, it's the squelchy synth bass of Ginuwine's "Pony." But does Magic Mike's Last Dance (in theaters now) supply it? Almost off-handedly, the new sequel assembles its fresh cast of male dancers on the stage of a London theater to strut their way through the number.
Melissa Roxburgh was the first one to see it. Call it fate. Her character on Manifest, Detective Michaela Stone, was the first to experience the supernatural phenomenon known as a "calling" after she and her fellow passengers on Flight 828 landed in New York City — five-and-a-half years after their expected arrival. Now Roxburgh was the first of her castmates to experience this new sign: Her show, the one that had just been canceled by NBC, was streaming in full on Netflix.
Paul Dano wants to solve the riddle of how his character in The Batman became... well, the Riddler.
