For @GQSports, this weekend I flew out for the GOAT’s debut and wrote about the scenes on South Beach and transcending mortality in the sunshine state.

Definitely one of George Lucas' more overtly political decisions.
He combined the names of two Republican politicians, Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich, and respelled it to make the name of a greedy bureaucrat alien willing to bomb and enslave a civilization to keep taxes low.
charmed by the college friends narrative and basically the entire roster but unfortunately outside-MSG-fans are evil and anything giving them cause for celebration is the work of beelzebub
one of the weirder things that’s ever happened to me is when Shane Carruth replied to a question i had about the Upstream Color OST that included a photo with the restraining order against him, which lead to him being outed as an abuser, functionally ending his filmmaking career
As some of you have seen, tonight at 6pm est, I’ll be doing a movie marathon stream organized by my friend @DylanRoth, to raise funds for my partner and I who have been without permanent housing for nearly two years now. It is not the first time I’ve had to ask for help.
first 15 minutes of this movie are why I take issue with writing off Abrams entirely, he is the best there is at setting characters and a world up like this
"You know, your father was Captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's ... and yours. I dare you to do better."
Man, he cooked him so hard with that.
it's amazing that we know that Spielberg shows his movies to his friends, which means George Lucas watched Schindler's List and 6 years later created Watto
Mad respect to Bill Simmons and his Ringer Empire of achievements. I listen to all their shows. I used to read all his columns, 22-24 years back, often screaming at them. Turned the Grantland setback into a massive comeback.
remains very funny how the hotel managers in the first two white lotus seasons are pretty integral to the core narratives and have well-considered arcs and in the third season the hotel manager is a strange little man whose arc is that he longs to do karaoke
i know this season was more divisive than the others but i maintain that its thorniness is a feature and perhaps THE feature, not a bug. i love that it centers on ugly characters and runs towards ugly questions, some of which don't have answers.
Chuck: Ernie, before we go I got just one more question for Victor—
Ernie: Chuckster, I don’t think this is—
Chuck: — Vic, Now How do you say “Big ol women” En Francais?
Wembanyama (stone faced): I don’t like the question, Charles, for me, you know, women hold up half the sky
“Outside of natural beauty” is sort of like going “outside of Barry bonds hitting more home runs than god he wasn’t actually that impressive a ball player”
Why do Americans get so butthurt about the fact that, outside of natural beauty, America is a pretty uninteresting cultural experience. If you’ve seen one American city you basically have experienced all America has to offer.
