Can “Cop City” Be Stopped at the Ballot Box?
[ad_1] Two months ago, I walked to City Hall, in Atlanta, to watch hundreds of angry people talk to their elected officials. Atlanta’s city council was set to vote on funding for one of the largest police-and-firefighter-training facilities in the country, which has come to be known, pejoratively, as Cop City—a reference, originally, to a… Continue reading Can “Cop City” Be Stopped at the Ballot Box?
Wes Anderson’s ‘Asteroid City’ Ending, Explained
[ad_1] Asteroid City plays like something of a manifesto, one that saves its most profound artist’s statement for its final minutes. Photo: Focus Features/Courtesy Everett Collection/©Focus Features/Courtesy Everet For much of his career, Wes Anderson has weathered accusations that he doesn’t so much make movies as dioramas — little dollhouse exhibits as precious as they… Continue reading Wes Anderson’s ‘Asteroid City’ Ending, Explained

Carolyn and Raylan sitting in a police-issued vehicle drinking Blanton’s … k-i-s-s-i-n-g … Okay, I’m very bad at rhyming.

20 years ago, ‘The O.C.” traveled to Tijuana and perpetuated every negative stereotype of the city
[ad_1] Twenty years ago, “The O.C.,” created by Josh Schwartz, premiered on Fox. It was a massive hit, becoming the highest rated new drama of the 2003-04 season and mandatory appointment viewing for us members of the Urban Outfitters generation. Millions tuned in every week to watch misunderstood bad boy Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie) leave… Continue reading 20 years ago, ‘The O.C.” traveled to Tijuana and perpetuated every negative stereotype of the city
Ice-T on ‘New Jack City’: ‘I thought it was career suicide’
[ad_1] Rappers had been in movies before 1991. Fab 5 Freddy played a version of himself in 1983’s semi-documentary “Wild Style.” Melle Mel rocked a party wearing a zebra-print vest in 1984’s “Beat Street.” And who can forget Run-D.M.C.’s quest for vigilante justice in 1988’s “Tougher Than Leather”? But not until Ice-T appeared in “New… Continue reading Ice-T on ‘New Jack City’: ‘I thought it was career suicide’
‘Real Housewives of New York City’ Recap, Season 14, Ep. 4

Much like Ubah, I think cheese is disgusting and never touch the stuff except for the occasional slice of pizza and whatever the fuck that dust is… Continue reading ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ Recap, Season 14, Ep. 4
‘Kokomo City’ review: Compassion for trans sex workers
[ad_1] The stark black-and-white imagery might imply otherwise, but “Kokomo City,” a documentary that profiles four Black transgender sex workers in New York and Atlanta, delivers a constantly surprising, undeniably entertaining portrait that proves anything but monochromatic. At once bracingly candid and buoyantly energetic, the first feature by Grammy-winning trans singer-songwriter D. Smith clearly earns… Continue reading ‘Kokomo City’ review: Compassion for trans sex workers

[ad_1] Photo: Chuck Hodes/FX/Photographer: Chuck Hodes “Walking dead man” is what Skender calls Clement before the man he thought was his betrothed’s overprotective older brother crushes Skender’s leg in the door to his own safety room, but midway through Justified: City Primeval, Clement looks untouchable, doesn’t he?

‘Real Housewives of New York City’ Recap, Season 14, Ep. 3
[ad_1] I’m just waiting for there to be one episode of the reboot where the women haven’t done something that one of the classic RHONY broads already did but better. Jenna wants to skulk back to her own Hamptons house in the middle of the night? Sure, great. But if you’re not leaving a note about how… Continue reading ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ Recap, Season 14, Ep. 3
