Starz

When Starz revived Party Down, fans of the cult series knew they’d be in for a whale of a time. Unfortunately, the party’s over, with the third season coming to an end on Friday. Luckily, though, the series went out with a bang (and hopefully, a tease for another season).

When news broke on Thursday that former President Donald Trump was criminally indicted in Manhattan, congressional Republicans—as they’ve done countless times before—immediately declared they would leverage their power to defend him.

Dying is not very good for the lungs. Besides the lack of oxygenated blood circulating to these very vital organs, the death process leads to the inability to swallow or cough, causing secretions to build up in the lungs and create the characteristic “death rattle.” And in sudden deaths—due to an accident or injury, for example—the lungs can suffer even more damage. If a patient breathes in food or other fluid, widespread inflammation can harm the lungs.

Well, she tried.

On Thursday, Jonathan Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, released text messages that purport to demonstrate, in the attorney’s words, that the Creed III actor’s assault accuser “admit[ted] that she was the one who used physical force against him.” So far, however, that narrative does not appear to be holding up well with its intended audience.

Halfway through A.V. Rockwell’s stunning feature-length directorial debut, A Thousand and One, Teyana Taylor’s dauntless Inez vocalizes her doubt for the first time. “I keep feeling like something’s going to happen,” she says. It seems impossible that she hadn’t thought this before, given that she’s spent her life uncertain of what might come next. Inez grew up in foster care and was fending for herself in Harlem by the time she was a teenager; volatility is second nature. But the... Читать дальше...

Throughout human history, the language of plants has been the language of both love and horniness. The Victorians had floriography, and in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Kate Hudson had a love fern. In the erotic poem “The Song of Songs,” Solomon wrote, “I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.” And on Love Is Blind Season 4, close-ups of languishing houseplants have become an unmistakable symbol for relationship decay.

For his Saturday Night Live work, Billy Madison, and Happy Gilmore alone, Adam Sandler deservedly earned the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor that he recently received from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Nonetheless, the comedian’s cinematic oeuvre boasts far fewer triumphs than disasters, and almost none are drearier than Murder Mystery, a 2019 dud with Jennifer Aniston about a New York couple embroiled in an...

On Thursday night, Stephen Colbert did the unthinkable: He said Donald Trump’s name. Since November 2020, the Late Night host has mostly refused to utter the former president’s name, and instead referred to him by a colorful array of nicknames, including Scooby Coup and Old Wack Donald.

Mmm, smell that? No, not the strangely alluring, umami aroma of crisp human flesh, though that’s certainly on the table now. I’m talking about the sweet scent of a return to form. After a less-than-stellar season premiere, Yellowjackets Season 2 has blessedly started to pick up the pace in its second episode.
