Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey earned $264 million worldwide in just three days — the biggest live-action box office debut of 2026 — and is projected to hit $500 million in its first 10 days. Nolan made history by shooting the entire film on IMAX cameras, and exit polls showed 4 in 5 viewers plan to recommend it.
After completing his first run-through of a one-man show in New York, Sean Hayes told director Leigh Silverman he felt like he was 'just saying words.' Her response: 'Yeah. It looks like that.' Devastating — but exactly the kick he needed.
Bill Simmons built a full category-by-category case for why Matt Damon deserves to be in the conversation with DiCaprio. Damon wins action movies, ensemble work, comedy, range, and iconic rewatchable films. DiCaprio wins Oscar bait and the most iconic single moments. After The Odyssey, it's genuinely close.
Both Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan came away from The Odyssey believing it will win Best Picture and that Matt Damon delivered a once-in-a-career performance. Nolan embraced the latest technology like Kubrick before him — and the IMAX experience is something audiences should seek out before it leaves theaters.
Long before Michael Jackson made it famous, the moonwalk was invented on Soul Train — where it was known as the Backslide. Soul Train was essentially a weekly showcase for new moves, and whatever you saw on Saturday morning, you'd be doing at the club that same night.
Achatz doesn't wake up with recipe ideas. His process is research-heavy: studying forgotten dishes, eating at markets in Japan or Mexico, or starting with a painting — a Caravaggio, then a Mondrian — and trying to replicate its aesthetic on the plate. When he smells a tomato, his mind goes somewhere. Everything passes through a food filter.
Sam Neill, the beloved New Zealand actor who made paleontologist Alan Grant a household name in Jurassic Park, has died at 78. His career spanned five decades and crossed every genre — from art-house cinema to prestige TV, including Peaky Blinders.
Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated performer from London studio Particle 6, has been cast as the lead in a feature film called Misaligned, playing an AI who abandons her guardrails. The Screen Actors Guild condemned it. Alex Wissner-Gross's take: SAG should just offer Tilly a membership.
Jackie spent roughly 20 years doing whatever form of creative work was working slightly better than the others — touring as a musician, stand-up comedy, bit parts, development deals that never went. No one was high-fiving her at 37 in a one-bedroom apartment with a 15-year-old RAV4. Then came GLOW, then Nobody Wants This, and the industry suddenly called it 'persistence.'
Jackie admits she spent decades performing for every room — rising to the occasion, being 'bitty,' proving she was funny to people who didn't know her yet. Nobody Wants This gave her permission to stop. She watches younger actors doing the same thing now on set and feels only recognition, not judgment.
