    Director Christopher Nolan has made some of the most spectacular films
    of the 21st century: "The Dark Knight," "Inception," "Interstellar,"
    "Dunkirk" and "Oppenheimer."
    With each new film, the scale and ambition of Nolan's storytelling seem
    to reach new heights.
    In 2008's "The Dark Knight," the filmmaker collapsed an entire building
    before the Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, sped off in a school
    bus. In his last film, 2023's "Oppenheimer," which won seven Academy
    Awards, Nolan tackled a subject of immense proportions: the nuclear bomb
    and the man who made it, J. Robert Oppenheimer.
    It's only fitting that his latest film, coming to theaters July 17,
    takes on a nearly-3,000-year-old Greek epic, the bard Homer's "The
    Odyssey."
    Actor Matt Damon plays Odysseus in "The Odyssey." It is his third film
    working with the director, having played roles in "Interstellar" and
    "Oppenheimer" previously.
    "I think what separates him from other directors is… the stories he
    wants to tell are incredibly ambitious. And the way he wants to tell
    them is incredibly ambitious," the actor told correspondent Scott Pelley
    in an interview.
    "In this case, he wanted to do it 100% in IMAX, which had never been
    done. And that wasn't even announced, because we didn't know if we could
    do it."

    How do we know who attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded
    1,000-guest wedding this weekend, despite the details being as closely
    guarded as national security secrets?
    Because the A-listers who attended from the world of movies, TV, music,
    sports, fashion and the arts were dying to tell us about it — or at
    least strongly imply it.
    The union of Swift and Kelce, two of the biggest celebrities in the
    world, managed to completely dominate the internet despite the fact that
    guests reportedly had to check their phones at the door and sign NDAs.
    Perhaps the biggest trend of the weekend was a superstar guest posting
    themselves on Instagram or TikTok in an ultra-glam, black-tie fit paired
    with an enigmatic caption. If you know, you know.

  • Is It Okay To Hate On Halsey or Supergirl?

    Marvel boss Kevin Feige once said back in 2017 at a Guardians of the
    Galaxy Vol. 2 presser that when it came to the studio’s embrace of
    deeper character comic book stories like Black Panther and Ant-Man, “The
    biggest risk was not [in] doing them. The biggest risk would have been
    doing Iron Man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.”
    As such, the revived DC Studios under Guardians of the Galaxy franchise
    filmmaker James Gunn and Conjuring franchise producer Peter Safran has
    plans to do exactly that: Not to gavage moviegoers on a diet of
    Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but rather build secondary DC
    characters into diamond properties.
    A 2024 Anthony Fantano video, improbably enough, is back in the
    conversation this week.
    By now, your endless scroll has alerted you to the resurfacing of the
    music critic and The Needle Drop personality's review of Halsey's most
    recent studio album as of this writing, 2024's The Great Impersonator.
    While Fantano handed the album "a light to decent 1," it was otherwise
    met with largely favorable reviews.
    Seemingly, though for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the review in
    question has received renewed attention amid coverage of Fantano's
    recent interview with Olivia Rodrigo, whose excellent new album you seem
    pretty sad for a girl so in love is currently atop the Billboard 200
    chart.

    Simone Cromer, the internet figure formerly known as Club Chalamet,
    allegedly got into a physical altercation outside of a Paris hotel.
    On Tuesday (June 23), X posts began circulating alleging the 59-year-old
    fan was “jumped” while awaiting the departure of Heated Rivalry star
    Connor Storrie from his hotel during Paris Fashion Week.
    The controversial figure was criticized for her seemingly parasocial and
    obsessive relationship with the young actor, frequently seeing his
    movies multiple times in theaters, attending premieres and sightings,
    and maintaining popular social media accounts dedicated to Chalamet,
    which occasionally included a vocal disdain for his relationship with
    Kylie Jenner.
    Cromer would go on to distance herself from the actor after his failed
    awards campaign for Marty Supreme, for which he left empty-handed from
    all the major ceremonies. In an Instagram post announcing the shocking
    move, she wrote, “Things have changed in this fandom in such a
    significant way that we also have to adjust to the changes and focus on
    other interests that simply bring us joy.”

    Conor McGregor's latest media appearance has sparked a fresh wave of
    controversy, with host Jimmy Fallon facing criticism after welcoming the
    former UFC champion to The Tonight Show to promote his long-awaited
    return to the Octagon.
    McGregor appeared on the NBC late-night program this week ahead of his
    July 11 fight against Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, marking his
    first bout in five years. During the interview, Fallon enthusiastically
    discussed McGregor's comeback and even recalled the pair going out for
    drinks following a previous appearance. “We’ll have to do it again!”
    Fallon said.

    Ariana Grande felt the love inside Crypto.com Arena Sunday night.
    The superstar singer delivered the second of four performances in Los
    Angeles on The Eternal Sunshine Tour, and 90 minutes through the show
    Grande stopped to address the crowd, which responded to her comments
    with wild cheers and applause.
    “Thank you so much, oh my god. L.A., thank you so much. Are you kidding?
    What the hell? I’ve never in my life experienced a crowd like this,”
    Grande said as she got emotional and wiped away tears with a gloved hand
    while wearing custom Vivienne Westwood, Christian Louboutin boots and
    Swarovski jewelry. “This is so overwhelming in the most beautiful way
    ever. Thank you so much for being so loving. Holy moly. I said holy
    moly, but I meant it, you know.”

    Phoebe Bridgers has added more dates to the North American leg of her
    upcoming Lost Tour, kicking off in September.
    The newly announced performances include extra shows in Indianapolis,
    Chicago, New York City, Toronto, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
    Presales begin Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to
    the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of
    dates and all ticket info, visit Bridgers' website.
    The initial Lost Tour announcement followed Bridgers' run of pop-up
    performances, which culminated with a surprise show at New York City's
    Madison Square Garden earlier in June. Those shows marked Bridgers'
    first solo concerts in three years.
    As previously reported, attendees of the Lost Tour will be required to
    secure their phones and any other recording or filming devices in Yondr
    pouches during the show.

    Rue Bennett is gone. But to those whose lives she touched, she’s
    vividly present.
    That’s among the takeaways from the Season 3 finale of “Euphoria,” an
    episode that brought its primary characters to some version or another
    of closure. Rue (Zendaya) dies before the episode’s midpoint, after
    which Ali (Colman Domingo) must avenge her. Meanwhile, Cassie (Sydney
    Sweeney) seems set up for her future as an OnlyFans mogul, but still has
    ways to go in terms of healing the wounds left by her brief, turbulent
    marriage to the late Nate (Jacob Elordi). And there’s a sweet tribute to
    Fezco (played in the first two seasons by Angus Cloud), in some ways
    the soul of “Euphoria.”

    Lizzo is putting a certain rumor to rest.
    On Saturday, May 23, the rapper and singer (whose real name is Melissa
    Jefferson) responded to a fan comment accusing her of "talking s---"
    about Taylor Swift.
    "The Life Of A Showgirl + MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING — 4.005M," a user
    wrote on X the day prior, referring to Swift's latest album and Lizzo's
    2025 mixtape, respectively. "ICEMAN + MAID OF HONOUR + HABIBTI — 683k."
    The post also featured a clip from her "STFU" music video.
    Lizzo, 38, reshared the post, asking users to clarify what the X user
    wrote: "Can someone explain what this means?"
    One user replied, saying, "It means all that s--- talking you did about
    Tay finally caught up to you."
    That's when Lizzo stepped in to defend herself.
