I think this is the longest I’ve ever spent reporting a story. Three years of flying around the country for a set visit and interviews. I birthed two whole humans in that time! t.co/X24T8Yk8Wt

Celine Song’s Journey From Matchmaking to 'Materialists' The 'Past Lives' filmmaker's sophomore feature starring Dakota Johnson is inspired by her days as a Manhattan matchmaker.

Celine Song’s follow-up to Past Lives, Materialists, is based on her time as a matchmaker. Clients would list their requirements for height, age, race, and income in a soulmate. We had a fascinating conversation about the upcoming film and the role of wealth in courtship time.com/7282305/celi...

Meet David Corenswet, the New Superman Corenswet prepares to leave his relative anonymity behind as he steps into the red boots of the most popular superhero of all time.

Went to the Philly suburbs to sit down with the new Superman, David Corenswet

Lots of plot details in the story but my favorite bits are the quotes from James Gunn about how he was both annoyed and tickled by David asking incessant questions on set

What Was Up With the Oscars' Strange James Bond Tribute? After Amazon took creative control of the 007 franchise, the Oscars honored the Broccoli family with a medley that felt like a memorial.

We've been live blogging the Oscars over @time.com all night, but I would like to draw your special attention to this one post I wrote on that bizarre James Bond tribute that felt like a death knell for the franchise time.com/7263592/osca...

Why Nicole Kidman Never Stops Working The 'Babygirl' actor opens up about her commitment to partnering with female filmmakers.

I visited Nicole Kidman in Nashville for our Women of the Year cover story to talk about why she never stops working. The Babygirl star has partnered with an astounding 19 female directors in just the last 8 years to close the gender gap in Hollywood time.com/7216403/nico...

Oh god, I hated Abigail haha. But agree I didn’t love the direction Dylan and Evie were going and wish it got another season to resolve. Luke’s beat for beat reenactment of Point Break lives rent free in my head though

Apparently Lovesick, a perfect British romcom series starring Johnny Flynn that not enough people know about, is disappearing from Netflix and likely the internet. It doesn’t exist on DVD. This is such a tragedy

After Moana 2, We All Owe Lin-Manuel Miranda an Apology Without him, every song in the sequel is as flimsy and disposable as the last.

Love to see someone being right. Good read from @louispeitzman.bsky.social! www.vulture.com/article/afte...

How the Novelty Popcorn Bucket Took Over Movies in 2024 Movie theaters made millions selling themed popcorn buckets in 2024. How the trend took off

AMC told me Tom Cruise, Tim Burton, and James Cameron all had a hand in the novelty popcorn bucket trend that dominated movies in 2024

I wrote about how theaters are making millions from the buckets and recruited @time.com staff to review some of the outlandish vessels

How LTK Revolutionized Shopping Co-founder and president Amber Venz Box says her platform has driven billions of dollars in sales for brands

I profiled Amber Venz Box, co-founder of influencer platform LTK and quietly one of the richest self-made women in America.

She saw that influencers were the future of retail before Silicon Valley did. LTK will drive about $5 billion in sales this year

I recently recounted the entire plot of Joker 2 to my husband. At the end, when I revealed the twist involving the Heath Ledger lookalike, our 1-year-old started applauding. Not an auspicious start to her life as a cinephile
