The precise status of the Smile is intriguingly TBC. Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood began making music with Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner to stay busy during the pandemic and they have already released more music in two years than Radiohead have managed in 15. While Yorke’s solo albums were clearly a side hustle – opaque, electronic, on the run from tunes – and Greenwood’s film scores something else entirely, the Smile have enough substance to rival the day job. The restless Greenwood once said he wished that…

A good part of the Internet has already sung high praise for the OG Tomb Raider trilogy remaster’s loving determination to rejuvenate the classic. I’m glad it has. Being alone in finding it quite a marvel would leave me feeling pretty sad and possibly stupid. One aspect of the remastered trilogy that I believe I haven’t seen enough praise for, however, is the game’s achievements, which I absolutely adore. There’s something for everyone here. Some achievements are expected, some are difficult to find, some are hilarious,…

Madame Web’s poor initial performance at the box office suggests that few people want to see it in a theater, let alone talk about it sight unseen. But there’s one aspect of it we should talk about anyway, because it’s so wild. Madame Web is a rarity in modern superhero cinema: a movie your friends might think you were making up if you described it to them without embellishment. Ironically, this makes it entirely faithful to the era of comic books it’s adapting. Not only does the comic book version of protagonist…

Peter Doherty: Stranger In My Own Skin is the third film about Doherty to hit screens in recent times. You wait all day for a documentary about the turbulent life of a Libertines frontman, etc. There was a Channel 4 film about the still unsolved death of Mark Blanco, after he attended a house party with Doherty in 2006, then in November, Louis Theroux turned his unsparing eye on Doherty’s new-ish life in France, where he lives with his wife (since 2021), Katia de Vidas. Stranger In My Own Skin came out in cinemas at…

Whitney Houston – It’s Not Right But It’s OkayI never went to J-school, but I learned everything anyone needs to know about how to be an investigative reporter from Detective Whitney Houston. In just four short minutes, this song describes our hero’s Pulitzer-level investigation into a deadbeat lover: she looks through his phone, digs through the trash, and literally finds the receipts to prove once and for all that he’s a filthy, lying cheater. That’s a bummer, of course, but in the grand tradition of divas such as…

Photographs can have several functions. We can use photography to capture and communicate emotions. We can also document the present so we can look back on it later and call it ‘past.’ The Internet is full of enthusiasts of the former and the latter.Here, we are covering an online community called Utterly Unique Photos. They describe themselves as a group that posts photographs “that can sometimes be odd or surreal but are always unique.” We’ve scoured the subreddit and found the most fascinating historical pictures for…

Anticipation crackles for tonight’s debut live performance from Sault, the purposefully enigmatic collective centred around producer Dean Josiah Cover, AKA Inflo. Their discography – 11 albums in four years, five arriving in a single data dump a year ago – encompasses the kaleidoscope of Black music history, growing ever more spiritual and exploratory. Exactly which incarnation of Sault will materialise tonight: the sinewy garage-funk unit? The street soul artisans? The composers of diaphanous choral symphonies?The answer…

Rebel Wilson slams report she said people only needed ‘600 calories a day’: ‘It’s UNTRUE, utterly ridiculous and harmful to women!’ ( Photo Credit – Bang Showbiz ) Rebel Wilson has slammed a report she said people only needed “600 calories a day” to survive as “utterly ridiculous”. The 43-year-old ‘Bridesmaids’ actress has shed 80 lbs and was quoted by the Daily Mail saying she hasn’t stopped eating her favourite foods but tucks into far smaller portions because she believed humans don’t need to consume as much as…

via Universal Very rarely does death hold any real stakes in any major blockbuster franchise, but Fast & Furious has taken things to a nonsensical new level with its refusal to let any remotely popular character die and stay that way. The entire Fast Saga was completely retconned around Han’s apparent demise in Tokyo Drift so that he could be murdered again before being brought back to life, while even Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty was revealed to have survived her certain doom after amnesia of all things was…
