Minority Mindset

The upcoming movie, based on Stephen King’s novel *The Running Man*, features Glen Powell as Ben Richards in a desperate fight for survival. The trailer showcases intense action, including Powell’s character jumping from a bridge, battling pilots mid-air, and performing a daring, nearly nude rappel. Powell recently told EW that he was initially enthusiastic about filming the scene, explaining…

After surviving a confrontation with Dr. Loomis in *Halloween II*, Michael Myers returned in a bigger, more ambitious sequel. Donald Pleasence gave a particularly strong performance as Loomis, though Jamie Lee Curtis spent much of the film unconscious. The movie is divisive among fans – some love it, while others criticize it heavily. Regardless of opinions, it’s a significant entry in the *Halloween* series. Despite director John Carpenter’s dislike of the film, it established the direction – and many of the future issues – of the franchise, including its later sequels and reboots. It also cemented Michael Myers’s status as the definitive slasher villain, a figure who remains unmatched.

With the initial pleasantries over, *Spy x Family* Season 3, Episode 2 (Episode 39 overall) had the potential to kick off the season’s main conflict. Instead, the episode flashes back to reveal a deeply sad and difficult period in the life of a key character. However, viewers have to sit through a rather predictable and repetitive portion of the story before reaching this emotional and revealing backstory.

Okay, let me tell you about *Bone Lake*. This is a really tight, four-person horror film that absolutely lives up to the hype. If you’re a serious horror fan looking for something different this Halloween, this is it. Honestly, most super-gory horror just isn’t *fun* like this is – *Bone Lake* is playful and constantly messes with what you think is going to happen. It’s devious, a little wicked, and genuinely delightful, and it totally delivers on its promise of being a seductive and psychologically thrilling ride.

However, that doesn’t appear to be what happened. In an interview with Next Best Picture, Shakman explained that Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, didn’t ask for any elements to be added to the movie to connect it to future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.

While researching Nancy Meyers’ films for Vulture, I had the chance to interview several stars, including Cameron Diaz, Steve Martin, and Kieran Culkin, asking them to recall their experiences. But my conversation with Diane Keaton was truly special – wonderfully eccentric, charming, and funny. She even jokingly wondered if I’d get in trouble for a question, and at one point, playfully scolded me with a sort of poetic rant about how people behaved during the pandemic. Because it was so delightful, we decided to share the full, lightly edited interview.

Below, more tributes to the late Diane Keaton.

Diane Keaton died on Saturday, October 11th, in California, according to a report in *People Magazine*. Her family has requested privacy, and no further details about her death have been released. She was 79 years old.

Diane Keaton wasn’t just admired by Woody Allen; she also became a frequent collaborator with Nancy Meyers, appearing in four of her films, including *Father of the Bride* and *Something’s Gotta Give*. Keaton became known as a filmmaker’s dream, bringing a natural charm and thoughtful approach to her work. In a 2020 interview with Vulture, she explained that working with Meyers pushed her to be her best: “With some actors, you can get away with anything, but with Nancy, you really have to stretch yourself and exceed your limits—and that’s a good thing.” Keaton also wasn’t afraid to take on unexpected roles, like playing Justin Bieber’s grandmother in one of his music videos, a fun-loving character needing a night out. She continued to act throughout her life, with *Summer Camp* marking her final film in 2024.
