‘Barbie’ Music Producer Mark Ronson Calls Out Bill Maher for Bashing Hit Film

LifeStyle, News

The Oscar-winning hitmaker took to social media to share his thoughts on Maher referring to Greta Gerwig's project as "preachy" and "man-hating." BY CHRISTY PIÑA Barbie music producer Mark Ronson isn’t here for Bill Maher’s take on Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar hit. Ronson, who oversaw the Barbie soundtrack album and also co-produced and co-wrote several of the movie’s standout songs, including “I’m Just Ken,” took to social media on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the talk show host calling the movie “preachy, man-hating and a #ZombieLie.” “We come to this place for magic,” Ronson posted on X, imitating Nicole Kidman’s infamous ad. “We come to AMC theaters to laugh, to cry, to care…and to furiously google ‘mattel board configuration’ while others are trying to enjoy a f***kin...

The horrors of ‘Scream 6’ and ‘Evil Dead Rise’ reflect pandemic confinement and contagion in cities

LifeStyle, News

In ‘Scream 6,’ interior private spaces like apartments offer only the illusion of safety. by Chris Corker The pandemic changed our perception of space so that places we usually take for granted suddenly fell under heavy scrutiny. Seeing the world from six feet of enforced social distancing, restrictions, closures and hygiene protocols redefined our daily haunts. Horror is a genre of extrapolation in which potential danger becomes certain death; it feeds and gets fat on worst-case scenarios. As film commentators have noted, the pandemic is making its own mark on horror. Two recent high-profile horror movie releases in particular, Scream 6 and Evil Dead Rise, show filmmakers wrestling with space and what it means to share it. With people. With exterior forces trying to find a...

Copenhagen Cowboy

LifeStyle, News

by Brian Tallerico Television has become an increasingly populated home for auteurs. Likely inspired by the success of "Twin Peaks: The Return" and stymied by the death of the mid-budget feature film, auteurs keep coming to mini-series TV, including Lars von Trier resuscitating his "The Kingdom Exodus" or Olivier Assayas delivering the masterful "Irma Vep." The incredibly divisive Nicolas Winding Refn has been here before, giving fans his indulgent and ridiculous "Too Old to Die Young" on Prime Video in 2019. The director of "Drive" and "Only God Forgives" jumps streaming giants over to Netflix this week with the six-episode "Copenhagen Cowboy," Refn's first Danish-language project since "Pusher 3" in 2005. It's a distinctly NWR project filled with fetishistic shots of violent men, an i...

M3GAN

LifeStyle, News

by Katie Rife The marketing for "M3gan" has leaned into the uncanny spectacle of the title character, a four-foot-tall cyborg with big doe eyes, a ratty wig, and the wardrobe of a closeted lesbian headmistress in a '50s melodrama. And it seems to be working: A well-placed GIF here, an activation with a half-dozen women in M3gan drag there, and Blumhouse—always expert at creating buzz—has generated more interest in "M3gan" than there's been for the last five horror films dumped into the bleak theatrical landscape of early January. But the company could have gone another route as well. In case you haven't heard, this film comes to you from the writer of "Malignant."For that film, James Wan directed a script by Akela Cooper, a longtime TV writer with a sideline in horror screenplays. The d...
