Nicholas Quah from Vulture points out that political themes have always been part of the Star Wars franchise, but they were often overshadowed by fantasy and family matters. However, with ‘Andor’, creator Tony Gilroy brought these political aspects to the forefront, creating a show that explores politics not just in history or a specific region, but globally. If you grew up in China, you might recognize some elements that resonate with your own experiences.
The story begins in London on January 1st, 2007. Belinda, accompanied by the Doctor and his companion, are hopscotching through time, aiming to return to 2025. They encounter a child named Conrad. Overjoyed by the Doctor’s gesture, he receives a 50-pence coin, which initially fails to stir any emotion in him. However, when he tries to convince his mother to take a look at this peculiar blue box, she dismisses him brusquely. “Stop with your tales,” she snaps, and swats him playfully on the head.
According to Bloys, none of the HBO stars have ever communicated to him about the company’s partnership with Rowling. Recently, Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us series called out Rowling for her controversial comments towards transgender people, joining a growing list of celebrities expressing criticism. However, John Lithgow, who is set to play Albus Dumbledore in the final phase of his career, appears unfazed by the controversy. Lithgow shared with The Times that he was taken aback by the backlash he faced when he accepted the role. He questioned, “Why is this a concern at all? I’m curious about how J.K. Rowling has dealt with it.” Given her active social media presence, it seems more efficient to directly address her via Twitter instead.
Prior to the May 15 debut of “Secret Lives” season two, a select group of women – Jen Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor, Mikayla Matthews, and Demi Engemann – featured on an episode of “Vanderpump Villa”. Their destination was Italy, where they interacted with the local staff. However, it appears that there were more happenings off-screen than what was shown on television. Following the broadcast of the April 24 episode, Marciano Brunette heightened the tension with a cryptic Instagram Reel. Here’s a rundown of the drama involving Marciano Brunette, the MomTok ladies, and… Scheana Shay? She seems to have a knack for uncovering gossip.
In late 2022, it was revealed that Taylor Swift had penned a script for an upcoming film and that details about the cast and plot were being kept confidential. Since then, she’s been seen with Searchlight Pictures president David Greenbaum at the premiere of Poor Things in 2023, suggesting that this project has been on her mind. At the same Tribeca Festival where she showcased All Too Well that year, Swift expressed a desire to work on a feature film with a tight-knit team. Since then, she’s directed 13 music videos and embarked on her largest tour yet. This experience helped her perfect the craft of theater distribution. For the movie accompanying her Eras Tour, Swift struck a deal with AMC Theaters and Cinemark, with 43% of sales going to theaters and the rest to Swift, bypassing major film studios entirely. The result was a global box-office success, becoming the highest-grossing concert film ever made with $261.7 million in earnings.
Akil pauses, no longer guiding me through this daydream with her hand. “That’s something I’m saving for my on-screen projects,” she decides. We find ourselves seated on a bench in the Lower East Side on the last day of March, engaging in a conversation that often happens between 12 and 4 a.m. in bars – candid, emotional, uplifting, filled with laughter and quickly followed by an Instagram connection. Akil has allowed me to join her for the New York version of her writing routine, as she wrote much of her Netflix adaptation of Judy Blume’s novel “Forever” at her favorite coffee shop, Ludlow between Houston and Stanton. At 54, Akil is wearing her writing sweater – a large cream-colored cardigan that would make Nancy Meyers envious. She indicates a man leisurely leaving his car, despite causing a minor traffic jam. We both appreciate his unhurried pace, his careful double-check to make sure the dry-cleaner bags weren’t caught in the door. “Human behavior is one of the most fascinating things to observe and try to express,” she notes.
She remarks, “Regardless of whether it was contentious or not, what matters is… If we’re aiming to portray the whole spectrum of history, then that aspect needs to be included. Regrettably, incidents like rape and misuse of power exist in our reality as well as in distant galaxies. It’s disheartening, but it’s crucial.
In a grimy NYC jail uniform, olive-green in color, Elsbeth finds comfort from Captain Wagner and Kaya as she cries about her troubled state over the last few months. It’s natural to grieve, but dwelling on irreversible regrets and despair isn’t helpful at this time. To continue battling this war, she needs to recall her identity and beliefs. The atmosphere here seems reminiscent of post-2024 presidential elections, and the character of Elsbeth is clearly part of our contemporary political landscape. Agent Wes McCarthy (Ben Horner) even states that his probe into Crown Prince Wilhelm von Hofer’s murder takes priority over the events in Greenland.
Amidst casual conversation late at night, Lively subtly brought up her past year, hinting at her ongoing legal disagreement with her co-star and director from “It Ends With Us”, Baldoni. During this discussion with Meyers, she shared that her year had encompassed the greatest joys and deepest sorrows of her life. She expressed concern about many women who are afraid to speak up, particularly at this moment, fearful of sharing their experiences. Lively acknowledged that fear is intentionally instilled to keep us quiet, but also recognized that not everyone has the opportunity to speak out. Despite feeling fortunate for being able to do so, she emphasized that it’s women who have had the ability to use their voice that have given her strength and encouraged her in her pursuit of a safer world for women and girls. She concluded by stating that standing up for oneself is a basic necessity.
