Basically, 2022 is the year of the postponed wedding. Ask anybody over the age of 26 and they’ll likely tell you they’ve attended one every other week since January. And we hate to break it to you, but winter weddings are coming up in no time and cold-weather nuptials are more likely to be black tie
Feel like life is busier than ever? You’re not imagining it. Our collective social calendars are finally back in full swing, and between office parties, date nights, and catch-ups with friends, there’s plenty worth celebrating. Having a lot of plans also means figuring out a lot of outfits, but one
Matthew Perry has apologized after excerpts from his new memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, revealed a couple of disparaging lines about Keanu Reeves. He said in a statement, “I’m actually a big fan of Keanu. I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my
Recently, I watched the premiere of a new show on a streaming platform. At various points, it was sloppy, self-satisfied, junky. But it closed on a tantalizing cliff-hanger. Against my better judgment, I got hooked. Then I navigated back to the menu to see how big a commitment I would be making if I
We’re all guilty. “Yes, yes. I’ll be there!” Sometimes we know from the get-go that we’re telling a white lie about this invite, and sometimes we have the best of intentions, but we ultimately turn down social plans because we’re simply exhausted by the state of affairs. It’s easy for those feelings
Last night, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever made its world premiere in Hollywood, and according to the buzz, it’s a Marvel masterpiece. First reactions post the screening see critics and theatergoers calling the highly anticipated sequel directed by Ryan Coogler “Marvel’s most poignant and power film
Elvis Mitchell, the celebrated film critic and longtime radio host, has a problem with the term “blaxploitation,” the de rigueur umbrella label for Black cinema of the 1970s.
“Whenever you talk about movies in this period, you immediately hear the word blaxploitation, which is a way they reduce it,
On Wednesday, Donald Trump announced that he will be hosting a rally in Miami just two days before the midterm elections. One person who very conspicuously won’t be there? Florida governor Ron DeSantis, because apparently, he wasn’t invited. And while many Americans would be thrilled to have an excu
When they’re represented in art, the time humans spend transitioning from childhood to adulthood is often called “coming of age”—a genteel euphemism that obscures the fact we all know: Those years are alternately embarrassing, desperate, and disgusting. Since 2017, however, one show has dared to loo
Those of us lucky enough to tune out the last few months of Elon Musk’s will-he-or-won’t-he Twitter takeover have warmed back up to the internet’s favorite parlor game, paired with last week’s report of Musk’s plans to lay off nearly 75% of the platform’s workforce, paired with the news Wednesday th
When HBO Max’s House of the Dragon premiered on August 21, the series delighted Game of Thrones devotees everywhere, who have waited years to get back to Westeros. Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the series takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and tells the bloody,
The key to appreciating Purple Rain beyond its obvious surface pleasures is to take it in as a spin on a 1930s musical. Think of it set in an old time vaudeville theater, and the story of Minneapolis’s First Avenue concert venue with its house bands that practically live there starts to make more se
Hey, quick question for the group: When you think of people who have had a hugely positive impact on humanity, what names come to mind? Nelson Mandela? Marie Curie? Abraham Lincoln? Martin Luther King Jr.? Gandhi? Well, Elon Musk thinks he should be included in that group, and it’s not because he’s

Every generation thinks the world is ending, and every generation thinks New York City is dead.
That’s how Kimya Dawson and Adam Green, also known as The Moldy Peaches, felt even as they were helping build the 2000s indie rock scene that would become a gorgeous, fleeting lightning strike on the cul
Britney Spears has been discussing her past experiences in the spotlight on her Instagram, and a recent post appeared to call out her friend, Selena Gomez, for a 2016 American Music Awards speech in which she encouraged women to show less skin on Instagram.
A public Rihanna appearance is a rare commodity these days, but when she does deign to show up, it’s a certainty that she’s going to freak it. Case in point: her serene, siren red carpet look at the premiere of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever on October 26 in Los Angeles.
