“The excruciatingly pragmatic Tony Scott…is interested only in whipped-up excitement …” Photo: Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection Editor’s note: This review originally appeared in the June 1, 1987 issue of New York. We’re republishing it to mark the release of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F this week.
One of the many virtues of Beverly Hills Cop was that the picture took its time. Director Martin Brest gave the material an eccentric, leisurely tempo, with lots of space for little character bits, jokes, atmosphere.
My Morning Jacket is launching its sixth album, Circuital, today with a concert in the band’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. It should be an unusual show: The group has asked fans to dress up for the event and send pictures of their eyeballs, too. Director Todd Haynes will be on hand to document the show for the online concert series Unstaged, which has previously paired David Lynch with Duran Duran and Terry Gilliam with Arcade Fire.
He was always transcendent, but there was nothing quite like watching the late actor take control of the screen in the 1970s. Photo: George Rose/Getty Images Photo: George Rose/Getty Images It’s 1974. My Afro and I are sitting on a bed with my mom, watching TV. On our black-and-white set is a very handsome, and very shirtless, Black man named Sidney Poitier. The movie is 1973’s A Warm December, a bittersweet romance starring Jamaican actress Esther Anderson and Sidney Poitier himself — maybe the first semblance of Black love I’d ever seen onscreen.
Shane Gillis. Earlier today, Saturday Night Live announced three new cast members for the upcoming 45th season: improviser Chloe Fineman, stand-up Shane Gillis, and SNL writer Bowen Yang. Later in the day, however, a clip from Gillis’s podcast, Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast, was surfaced on Twitter by freelance writer and comedy reporter Seth Simons. In it, Gillis and co-host Matt McCusker make a series of racist comments about Chinese people and use racist, mocking accents.
From left: Oliver Hudson and Jamie Lee Curtis in the Scream Queens finale. Oliver Hudson was not super excited by the advice he got from co-star Jamie Lee Curtis right before their big love scene in Tuesday night’s Scream Queens finale: He was posing on the bed in nothing but a Speedo, carrying a rose and about 15 pounds more weight than he’s used to. “She said, ‘Honey, let it go.
Pop star (20). Olivia Rodrigo was homeschooled, grew up starring on Disney Channel shows like Bizaardvark, got a No. 1 record at 17, and is one of the most famous pop stars in the world. Still, there are only so many ways to be 20 years old. With her album Guts, out September 8, Rodrigo is participating in an avalanche of press lately, and the overlaying takeaway is that, though she may not be in college due to the demands of pop stardom, this girl will act her age.
David Lynch did it again, folks! The season finale of Twin Peaks: The Return threw us a lot of answers — for starters, Mr. C is back where he belongs and we now know who “Judy” is — but unsurprisingly, dozens more questions cropped up, with Dale Cooper traveling back in time to prevent Laura Palmer’s murder. Let’s just say his trip doesn’t go as planned. While there’s plenty of days ahead to sift through all of the head-scratchers in this finale, let’s focus on the biggest items at hand for the sake of sanity.
Comedian and goddamned movie star Patti Harrison dropped by last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote her new movie Together Together, but she also took the time to address a very important situation. In case you missed it, Harrison got banned by Twitter in late February after she pulled a Jaboukie and switched her (verified) display name and photo to make it look like she was the official Nilla Wafers account, which she used to wade into and destroy the discourse that started when the Oreos account tweeted “Trans people exist.
