this tribute to Catherine O'Hara at the Emmys was soooo sweet wow. and the camera cuts to Martin Short and Steve Martin crying...I'm not okay. her on-screen children Macaulay Culkin, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy spoke so highly of her Macaulay: "She was encouraging. She was warm. She was funny. But the word that I think of is 'momma.' She was my mom. She was our mom. And by extension, she was all of our mom. She may have forgotten me...twice! But we will always remember her."

Minneapolis Spiderman pleaded not guilty to fifth degree misdemeanor assault for punching Jake Lang. His lawyer claimed self defense & the defense of others because the people of Minnesota have a right to defend themselves from dangerous people like Jake Lang & his sidekicks.

This is a great snap shot of the temporal continental divide in America. You see faces, teeth, voices of Old America wearing the clothing and staging of New America. The builders of the Ad Age, not the children of it. Only my earliest memories touch this reality.
Dolly Parton, her parents and siblings doing a version of “In The Pines” in 1976, a song long associated with Lead Belly but whose origins predate him…likely came out of a hodgepodge mix of songs from Southern Appalachia.

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Melissa Barrera confirms she was officially blacklisted from Hollywood but says she’s okay with the consequences because it’s important to call things as they are but says she has hope because more people in industry no longer care and are speaking out as well. ❤️

Hats off to doctoral student and podcaster Zhong Shu in Beijing, China, who did this fascinating and smart interview with Christopher Nolan about THE ODYSSEY yesterday, originally posted to Bilibili. A great listen/watch.

This interview is amazing. Challenging, philosophical, and placing cinema within the longer continuity of storytelling in public consciousness.

Journalist Liz Oliva Fernández reports from inside Cuba's oil crisis. From a woman walking nine kilometers to work because there's no transport to people living next to piles of uncollected trash – this is what life is like in Havana.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey was shot on more than 2 million feet of KODAK 65mm Motion Picture Film made in Rochester, NY. Kodak also manufactured the print film for the 35mm, 70mm 5-perf, and IMAX 70mm releases. We're thrilled to celebrate the film's theatrical release today.

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.
