Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic As a critic, I’m always looking for a fresh challenge, which is one reason I took up writing about theater: It still has the capacity to scare me. I’ve reviewed nearly 1,700 movies in my time at Variety, but how to weigh in with authority on stage productions of William Shakespeare or Samuel Beckett when I haven’t seen most of their work performed, but know it only by reputation? Last year, I was nervous going in to a fresh revival of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” at Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse, as I had only the Mike Nichols movie as a reference point. How to judge Calista Flockhart’s performance, and what might I compare it to, not having seen Uta Hagen play Martha on Broadway? (I did manage to track down a vinyl recording of that show, but still…

“Dilbert” is being dumped from dozens of newspapers throughout North America after the comic strip’s creator, Scott Adams, went on a racist rant during a recent podcast when the Trump-supporting cartoonist cited a poll in which 53 per cent of Black Americans agreed with the statement “It’s OK to be white,” which led Adams to define Black people as “a hate group.”
One of most curious marriages within the American political spectrum appears to be over.
I am thrilled to interview George Santos, the first openly gay Republican elected to the U.S. Congress. Rep. Santos and I met during a recent visit to Atlanta where he is helping organize the Project to Make Dixie Great Again.
Dilbert creator Scott Adams after his racist rant.Adams had called Black American people “a hate group” and said white people should “get the hell away from Black people”, following his lead by moving to “a neighbourhood with a very low Black population”.In response, Minhaj used his time as The Daily Show guest host to address Adams: “Kanye heard this and was like, ‘whoa, whoa, my brother… pace yourself.’”The comedian went on to call Adams “a certain type of rich person” and compared him to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.“I can guarantee you: J.K.
Perfect Arrangement, which blends the madcap style of classic sitcoms with provocative drama as two “All-American” couples struggle to maintain their straight-laced facade.A decade after its world premiere in D.C., the Lambda Literary Award-nominated play has been revived by the St. Mark’s Players, “the only active community theater located in the District of Columbia.”The organization is based out of the same-named Episcopal church on Capitol Hill that, notably, factors into local LGBTQ history — as a host for dances of the Mattachine Society in the early 1960s and a meeting space for the Frank Kameny-affiliated Gay Activists Alliance a decade later.“D.C.

a food-world punchline — Anthony Bourdain once described his shuttered Times Square restaurant, Guy’s American Kitchen, as a “terror dome” — Fieri is now embraced by high-end dining’s biggest names, and “killed” is foodie-speak for chefs over-indulging favored customers.His last dinner that turned figuratively fatal? “We were at Italian Graffiti in Salt Lake City,” Fieri told The Post. “You name it, chef Marc Marrone sent it out. Then, at meal’s end, came the bone-in pork chop and rabbit tortellini.
interview with Morgan, Santos was pressed about comments he made in the past when he said he was Jewish. Santos pushed back and said he never said he was Jewish and said he always told people his grandparents on his mother’s side are Jewish, which he claims makes him Jew-ish.“That was always a joke,” Santos said in his interview with Morgan.
Jayda G has announced her new album ‘Guy’ and shared the first taster from the record ‘Circle Back Around’.Co-produced with Jack Peñate, her second LP is set to be released on June 9 via Ninja Tune.It explores the Canadian artist’s relationship with her father William Richard Guy, who passed away, when she was just 10 years-old.‘Circle Back Around’, the video for which you can view below, features intimate archive footage of her father.“I wanted the album to be a blend of storytelling, about the African American experience, death, grief, and understanding,” Jayda G said of the record via a press release. “It’s about my dad and his story, and naturally in part my story, too, but it’s also about so many people who wanted more for themselves and went on a search to find that. This album is just so much for people who have been oppressed and who have not had easy lives.”She continued: “I think the biggest thing that really drove me to understand more of his life is that my dad, just a few years before he was diagnosed, had worked so hard on himself.

K.J. Yossman Skin is a subject Israeli-American director Guy Nattiv touches on frequently in his work. He has directed no fewer than two (unrelated) films titled “Skin,” one feature-length, one short. The former, which premiered in Toronto in 2018, saw Jamie Bell win rave reviews as a white supremacist who tortuously has his tattoos lasered off after managing to break away from the Neo-Nazi cult that raised him. The latter, which Nattiv produced alongside his wife, Jaime Ray Newman, won the Oscar for live action short in 2019. Now Nattiv returns with “Golda,” his first feature since Toronto and another character study, this time of Israel’s fourth prime minister, Golda Meir, who is played by Helen Mirren. The film, which also stars Liev Schreiber and Camille Cottin, is set during the 1973 Yom Kippur war, when a coalition of Arab states launched a surprise attack on Israel on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
Australian film and television director George Miller has died of a heart attack in a hospital in Melbourne, Australia. He was 79.
With this year’s selection, the Berlinale seems to be creating space in the festival calendar, between Sundance and SXSW, for a particular type of American indie: the melancholy, slight, intensely personal and hence rather divisive kind, in which vaguely famous actors—usually the comedic kind—play downbeat iterations of their more familiar selves. It may not be a coincidence that Noah Baumbach’s Greenberg debuted here rather than home turf in 2010, but Dustin Guy Defa’s The Adults, which premiered in the festival’s Encounters strand, makes Baumbach’s problem child seem positively commercial by comparison. Fortunately for all involved, Universal have already picked it up; this is definitely not the type of movie to thrive in today’s marketplace.
