Filmmaker Amos Poe started his career in New York City in the 1970s. One of his first projects was The Blank Generation, a film he co-directed with Ivan Král of the Patti Smith Group. The movie showcased early performances by influential artists like Richard Hell (inspiring the film’s title), Talking Heads, and Patti Smith, and it captured the atmosphere of iconic, now-closed New York City punk venues such as CBGBs and the original Max’s Kansas City. The Blank Generation has been recognized as a classic, appearing on both Rolling Stone‘s list of the 25 Greatest Punk Rock Movies of All Time and Vulture’s list of 101 Best New York City Movies.

According to Bloomberg, the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is expected to be the highest-grossing film of 2026, surpassing all other releases, including Dune: Part Three.

I just saw a truly moving documentary, and it sheds light on a really scary time for a beloved comedian. Apparently, back in 2021, he was hospitalized for five weeks with heart problems, but the details were kept quiet. The film reveals he actually suffered heart failure during the pandemic, and things got incredibly serious – the doctors weren’t even sure he’d pull through. It’s a powerful story about his fight for survival.
