Sharp Objects is the type of show you watch and spend most of your time wondering if you’re paying close enough attention. Camille Preaker’s world is filled with hidden words, secret afflictions, and traumas that could unwind before her at any moment. And yet, all of those details and plot points proved fairly…

“I’m going out to join the search party now,” St. Louis crime reporter Camille Preaker nearly whispers to her editor in the Sunday night premiere of HBO’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s book Sharp Objects, while cradling a pay phone in one hand and an ample glass of whiskey in another. “Hopefully, we’ll turn up a dead…

I would never go so far as to say 20 photos of universally beloved five-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams smiling while doing various mundane activities in Los Angeles, California, will make anyone happier, but I feel comfortable saying that 20 photos of universally beloved five-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams smiling while…

Here’s a twist I didn’t see coming: Neri Oxman, the MIT professor Brad Pitt allegedly started dating after studying the George Clooney Handbook for Late-Middle Age, is old news, and she’s returned to her former flame, “billionaire hedge funder” (and activist) Bill Ackman.

After the success of Big Little Lies, HBO is hitching their wagon on gritty, women-led crime dramas that will definitely keep me up at night staring at my ceiling trying to piece together the mystery. The latest is Sharp Objects.

Look carefully at the photo above. Do you recognize the woman in the blonde wig (that it’s a wig is merely an assumption, but an understandable one) as five-time Academy Award nominee Amy Adams? Or the man towering over her, with the red, puffy face, as one-time Academy Award winner Christian Bale? If so,…

Last week, Walmart unveiled a new prepackaged food item called the “crotilla.” The disc-shaped (and reportedly flaky) little thing is described by the retail giant as “an alternative for croissant sandwiches since the buttery bread often flakes apart when it’s cut horizontally.” But let’s cut the crap for a second and…

Christian Bale may take on the challenge of portraying Dick Cheney, a dark force with a cabbage for a heart, in an upcoming biopic.

Amy Adams was expected to be nominated for an Actress in a Leading Role Academy Award for her turn as a stunning linguist in Arrival, but she was not among the nominees in that category named this morning. Instead, Golden Globe winner Isabelle Huppert (for Elle), Ruth Negga (for Loving), Natalie Portman (for Jackie),…

Folks, the critics were right. After seeing it a local multiplex over the weekend, I’m happy to report that Denis Villeneuve’s new alien-visitation film Arrival is quite good.

Denis Villeneuve, director of critically acclaimed thrillers like Incendies, Prisoners, and Sicario, is bringing humanity on the brink of a “global war” with aliens in his upcoming film Arrival, and the only person who can prevent it from happening is an “expert linguist” named Louise. It’s the role Amy Adams was born…

David O. Russell, the asshole movie director who once groped his 19-year-old niece, is known for being a baby who treats his actors like garbage, so rumors that he made Amy Adams’s life on the set of American Hustle a living hell were easily believed. The actress, however, never addressed them directly until an…

After praising Jennifer Lawrence for her recent essay in which she addressed Hollywood’s gender pay disparity, Bradley Cooper has revealed plans to work with his female co-stars on salary negotiations before films go into production.

Chris Brown won’t stop, can’t stop being Chris Brown.

There are three things that are constants in this cold, suffocating life: death, taxes, and the ghostly whiteness of everyone on Vanity Fair's annual self-congratulatory Hollywood issue. And in its 15th year, on a just-released cover, we've gotten... more of the same. Vanity Fair, old reliable. All-white people in…
