Hi, everyone. Summer is gone but not the heat. People might return to the office not because of employer mandates, but to save on their air-conditioning bills.The Plain ViewTo learn the obsession of an industry, attend an event where its leaders are gabbing for three days.That old saying, which I just made up, was borne out this week at the Code Conference, a yearly event (pandemic permitting) hosted by the ubiquitous tech journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher.

Annapurna Interactive’s Stray, the fantastic adventure game where you navigate through a cyberpunk-inspired world as a cat, is winning over more than just players. House cats, who typically sit idly as their owners play games, are getting engaged with the game, too. And people can’t stop tweeting about it. So, someone smarter than I am made the Twitter account @CatsWatchStray to bundle up all of that joy in one place. Compared to almost everything else happening around the globe, this is so wholesome. You just get to…

After early showings in international markets, the big Hollywood premiere of director Colin Trevorrow’s epic conclusion has brought us that much closer to the flick's theatrical release. With legacy stars colliding with the Jurassic World cast, some great photos have emerged from the event; and I’m super obsessed with one Chris Pratt and Laura Dern moment that came out of it. As…

TS Eliot called Hamlet “the Mona Lisa of literature”. Like Leonardo’s enigmatic portrait, Shakespeare’s prince and the play in which he appears have stimulated countless poets, novelists and creative artists. The latest in the field is Ken McMullen, who has written and directed a dreamlike movie, Hamlet Within, subtitled Five Acts in Search of a Murderous Prince and screened at Cannes. It is an attempt to de-romanticise the dithering Dane and is duly stimulating even if I sometimes felt it was pushing at an open door.You…

Zendaya is only 25-years-old, but the young actress has already become a massive star. From movie roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to her Emmy win for her HBO series Euphoria it’s clear that Zendaya is a talent with a great deal ahead of her, so it’s no wonder she was named to Time’s 100 Most Influential People Of 2022. But as big a fan as many people are, I’m not sure anybody in the world loves Zendaya like Dune director Denis Villeneuve. Zendaya’s director in last year’s Oscar winning film Dune, Denis Villeneuve,…
