I mean, give the makeup artist who turned Lily James into Pamela Anderson an Emmy already
Here’s a poster for the United States of Tara, a show that ended in 2011, in the West 4th subway station
tfw you hooked up with one of the girls on Girls but also went to space
Colin Farrell just doing an interview with an enormous cat on his lap
Pete Davidson landing Joe Pesci for his sitcom is honestly wilder than Pete Davidson landing Kim Kardashian as his girlfriend
Another thing sharing Mad Men clips has me thinking about: I feel like so much TV right now has forgotten to be FUN. Sure, Mad Men was prestigey but it was also FUN to watch.
Just one of the most mind meltingly great cards. Do you think Noah Baumbach ever imagined his name in Barbie font?
Here's a thing I appreciate about Allison Williams: I know she rehearsed how to pronounce everyone's names.
Nora Ephron adding the whole paprikash bit by hand to the When Harry Met Sally… screenplay
Everyone talked about the accent work Kate Winslet did in Mare of Easttown, but no one's talking about the accent work Lisa Ann Walter is doing on Abbott Elementary
this joke from the new Saved by the Bell is absolutely one of the most hilariously brutal things i have seen

Feel like a huge foreshadowing moment that Helene Yorke and John Early played Jenna’s children on a season 6 episode of 30 Rock
This HBO Max shit better not interfere with me getting more The Other Two
In M:I 3 when Cruise is wearing the Philip Seymour Hoffman mask, PSH is so good that I still believe it’s Cruise wearing a mask of his face
One Buzzfeed alum sentenced to prison today another won a Golden Globe
Loony cake still maybe the most depressing thing in that episode btw
“They said this was outdoors…it’s not!” Seth Rogen is genuinely not happy about the COVID situation.
Here’s one I’m honestly very proud of: I went to Katz’s with to talk about #BarryHBO and pastrami. thrillist.com/entertainment/
Makeup artist for Dune Eva Von Bahr proving why we should give out these awards live on the telecast with this Renaissance look
Underrated element of negroni sbagliato video is the extremely Manchester way Olivia Cooke says “stunning” in response
"Well, everyone knows Loki died at the hands of Thanos. What this show presupposes is... maybe he didn’t."
A coffee shop in The Matrix called “Simulatte”? That’s a good joke.
Here's the thing: I love Steven Spielberg. I love The Fabelmans, a movie that too many dismiss as simple and starry-eyed when it's actually so layered and almost cynical.
Want to encourage all the people who think Doctor Strange 2 is too violent to sit through the climax of MEN, out May 20
No more haunting sequence in all of television than being mass laid off on Zoom by Greg
Worth noting before you just giggle at it that McDormand’s howl was in honor of the production sound mixer on Nomadland Michael Wolf Snyder who died at age 35 earlier this year
Cast silver fox Johnny Knoxville and silver fox Timothy Olyphant as brothers in something.
Gymnast Nia Dennis, who you know from her viral floor routine, is at the Met Gala
BONES AND ALL is so sweepingly, gushingly romantic, but also very gross, fitting neatly in between CMBYN and Suspiria on the Luca scale.
Kristen Stewart is GOOD in Crimes of the Future. We have to appreciate actors taking big swings and doing weird shit.
The Amazing Spider-Man movies are so messy, but goddamn Emma and Andrew were SO into each other.
It’s even better when you SEE the exchange happening. Garfield cannot keep it together.

Nicolas Cage talking about a horse named Rain Man that tried to kill him.

You ever just think about how these guys are duly appointed federal marshals
Jessica Chastain winning Best Actress at the SAGs makes the Oscars a total wild card. I love it.
just heard adam sandler say “let’s go todd” when todd field won best screenplay for tar at the gothams.
If you think The Fablemans is about the "magic of cinema..." watch it again. It's, at least partially, about how looking at the world through a camera can be a curse.

West Side Story is on Disney+ now and Drive My Car is on HBO Max??????? YOU HAVE ZERO EXCUSES NOT TO WATCH THESE FILMS NOW.
There is almost nothing more moving than hearing Martin Scorsese talk about a movie he loves
Has everyone who watched The Last of Us last night realized that Nico Parker is Thandiwe Newton's daughter and the resemblance is VERY strong
I love that Jon Hamm’s face is stuck in the “that’s what the money is for” scene throughout Top Gun: Maverick
How is Harold and Maude the only movie on this list made before 1980?

The ending of The Power of the Dog is not ambiguous! It takes a beat, yes, but it’s like very clear, you just have to be watching the movie and not looking at your phone!!!!! thrillist.com/entertainment/

#ThePowerOfTheDog originally had a much clearer ending uproxx.it/naqtzr5
One of my favorite moments in The Power of the Dog, my favorite movie of 2021, is when Jesse Plemons reads a sauce label
How have we allowed Penn Badgley to have a major post-Gossip Girl career revival and NOT Leighton Meester? Where is HER cheesy/campy series?
And you’re NOT going to let this man accept his honorary award on the telecast?
If you didn't watch Halt and Catch Fire and/or Pushing Daisies I honestly don't think you should be allowed to lust after Lee Pace.
“My mom, my dad, they had sex, that’s amazing” - Daniel Kaluuya, that’s the quote of the night
This is not a comment on any of the ~ discourse ~ but I do keep thinking about this line in the most recent season of Girls5Eva
The Jon Peters sequence of Licorice Pizza was filmed at the house I grew up in. I asked for a statement from Paul Thomas Anderson so I could write about it. Instead, we chatted on the phone for 30 minutes about the Valley. An absolute dream.
Anyway I'm proud of my entertainment industry nepo baby heritage: My dad directed the Beach Boys episode of Full House and my mom cast the original Off Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors.
Obviously the cast of Death on the Nile is uniquely cursed, but I will say it’s a) better than Orient Express and b) I remain sort of charmed that Kenneth Branagh’s Agatha Christie cinematic universe exists.
Late in the season reveal that Cameron and Ethan went to Yale is the biggest twist of this season of The White Lotus
Shouts to the woman in front of me who googled Bryce Dallas Howard right before seeing Jessica Chastain in A Doll’s House
TOP GUN: MAVERICK is a movie about how Tom Cruise will never stop doing this shit, absolutely not, you can’t make him. (Yeah, it rules.)
As a woman (lmao) I love movies about women (Barbie). I also love movies about male hubris destroying the world (Oppenheimer) and I don't need to see myself represented in the latter.
In THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING, Tilda and Idris speak hellenic Greek to one another and surely this fulfills someone’s kink somewhere
Chloé Zhao becomes the second woman in Oscars HISTORY to win Best Director. And wearing sick sneakers to boot.
And I can never get it that thin

I literally think of Paul Sorvino every time I slice garlic
Sunday I am seeing Assassins. Monday I am seeing West Side Story. The following Saturday I am seeing Company. Forget the holiday season, it’s Sondheim season.
god carrie-ann moss is so good in that first neo/trinity thomas/tiffany coffee shop scene
The sex scene in House of Gucci is VERY HOT. Adam Driver is literally dirty during it.
Quote
HOUSE OF GUCCI continues my favorite film trend of 2021 - memorable Adam Driver sex scenes
Chloé Zhao wearing sneakers and joined by Swankie on the red carpet!!! I love it!!!
I profiled the lovely Jake Johnson who begins his run on Minx this week, and he told me about his dog Nora, who is a failed service pup, and the secret to good on screen chemistry. thrillist.com/entertainment/
A pair I never knew I needed, but now I can’t think of anything else?
wild tweet
Oh I can tweet about House of Gucci. Here’s the thing: Gaga is such a star, she lights up the screen, the movie should be MORE about her and it gets annoying when it swerves into the “business of Gucci” stuff. She befriends a witch played by Salma Hayek.
hahahhahaha i just watched Drag Me To Hell for the first time. whatta picture!! cackling with glee!!!
I went long on the Moondance Diner, the spot that played a role in Jonathan Larson’s story and now plays a role in #TickTickBoom. Thank you to for sending me drafts of Jonathan’s essay about the place. I also tracked down the original owner!
Whispers: Obviously the press tour was ridiculous, but I still think Gaga’s performance was great, a real va va voom movie star outing, and it’s way better than what N*cle K*dman was doing.
Mark Ruffalo, sorry for making awkward eye contact with you on the street this morning. I was on the way to pilates and not prepared.
it’s sorta like you shouldn’t underestimate steven spielberg and tony kushner
Hello Stewy Freaks! Can I interest you in a profile of , who plays Stewy but is actually a guy who runs a nonprofit theater company and doesn’t lick donuts for fun. With original photography by Cole Saladino. thrillist.com/arian-moayed-s
it's funny how Matt Smith became famous playing such a sweet silly version of The Doctor, and now he almost exclusively plays pricks and is very very good at it
Really a shame Tim Burton stopped making interesting movies before he could use Cristin Milioti and her giant eyes
Welp, after four years at Thrillist I just got laid off. So if anyone has any gigs or freelance work hit me up. Feel lucky to have a book project in the works, but looking for full time work and other projects.
A lovely remembrance of Louie Anderson via Life with Louie from
