  Too bad the creator of that movie is a serial predator/child molester.

  I was hoping he and Naomi Watts reunited to chat at the Golden Globes the other night. I haven’t seen any photos or videos so I don’t know if they did but at least she got to be in the room to see him win.

Weird hair colour.
Hollywood’s puppets have become so irrelevant, they made the whole world cringes.
Nobody cares anymore, go heal your npd, and find a real job.

Surprised there are so few films here that he talks about, he’s had a lot of other interesting roles over the years I would have loved to hear his insights on. Midnight in Paris, Predators, Splice, and of course Peaky Blinders

Finally some King Kong crumbs! The movie still holds up today and deserves way more recognition.

I love his performance in The Brutalist, he brings so much depth and even a bit of humour to a serious film.

He’s very funny as Dali in his one scene in Midnight in Paris, wish they’d mentioned The Grand Budapest Hotel as well!

Inside Vogue’s Summer Issue: A Journey Across Texas

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Photographer Tyler Mitchell and fashion editor Carlos Nazario head to Texas on a “school trip” of sorts for Vogue’s Summer Issue. In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, Tyler and Carlos wanted to choose a state that represented the good, the bad, and the ugly of the United States. Texas seemed like a natural fit. Along the way, Tyler and Carlos journey across the state, visiting Texas Southern University to capture cheerleaders and a drumline, spending time with line dancers and a gospel church community, and stopping at a ranch stewarded by Black cowboys.
