I first crossed paths with Sinéad at some point in 1985, when she had just collaborated with The Edge from U2 on a song called Heroine. She came to a party at his house and when she walked into the room, wearing this long cape, it was like a beautiful apparition. Everything stopped. She had a presence that was not just about her beauty. It was deeper than that. And then I heard her sing and it was like: “Wow!”I didn’t see her for a good while after that. Then, in 1993, I was working with the director Jim Sheridan on the…

Do you like Star Wars? How about Lord of the Rings? Harry Potter? Dune? What about The Matrix? Would you like to see elements of all of those and more in the skeleton of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai?

As well as being an early blueprint for the FPS genre, id Software’s iconic shooter is also a popular modding playground. Sometimes, these mods harken back to even older gaming days. Modders Gokuma and Kontra Kommando have crafted a love letter to an absolute classic ’80s slasher film. Specifically, they’ve turned Doom into Friday the 13th. More specifically still, they’ve based it on the NES adaptation, turning the 1989 side-scrolling…

Sequels can be big business, but they can also be tricky. While they build off already-existing reputations, they can also set up grand expectations; comparisons between then and now are inevitable, and the patina of nostalgia can sometimes make the “then” seem superior to the “now” by default. Pink Friday 2, the fifth album from firebrand MC Nicki Minaj, attempts to balance the expectations attached to naming itself after its groundbreaking 2010 predecessor with Minaj’s spirit of constant reinvention and…
