Month: October 2023

Despite his recent run-in with the law, “I Remember Everything” singer Zach Bryan remains country music’s latest darling. To prove it, fans have continued to push his albums to the top of the charts. As his popularity has grown, so has the demand to see Bryan see him live in concert. On Monday, October 9, he revealed that he extended his The Quittin Time Tour in 2024.

The additional 19 dates are sandwiched in between his previously announced shows. Special guests for the shows include The Middle East, Mt. Joy, The War And Treaty, Sierra Ferrell, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Turnpike Troubadours, Sheryl Crow, Matt Maeson, and Levi Turner.

Bryan took to Instagram to share the discussion about expanding the already massive tour. “I do feel like the ticketing issues are insane. I am sorry, and in that, we added more shows to the tour to try and curve demand,” wrote Bryan.

He added, “I don’t want it to be lost on me or anyone how grateful and indebted I am to every single person who listened and listens. I am trying my best in this life. And also to make the shows as great as I can to the people I love most [of] y’all.”

On Saturday the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a devastating attack on Israel. Among the places hit included a music festival in the southern part of the nation. So far over a thousand in both nations are dead. Hamas has taken 150 hostage. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly declared war, vowing a swift and punishing reprisal. The strife has upended the world and rendered those reporting on it speechless. But Donald Trump had a predictably narcissistic response, as Jimmy Kimmel noted on his latest show.

Using his opening monologue to address the “nightmarish situation,” Kimmel also slammed the former president after he “immediately found a way to make it all about himself.” He referenced a post Trump made on Truth Social, in which he claimed the Israel attacks, like the war in Ukraine, “would never have happened if I were president.”

“That’s right,” Kimmel responded, “if he was president we’d all be blissfully downing jiggers of bleach. There’d be no war anywhere.”

Kimmel also noted that Trump subsequently posted a photo of him in his younger, leaner years playing tennis. He even gave the big guy a new name: “Subpoena Williams.”

Trump spent Saturday night, when the attacks began, at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he demonstrated what Kimmel called the “deep well of insight he has into this ongoing conflict in the Middle East.” It showed him on autopilot, badly mispronouncing Hamas so that it sounded more like “hummus.”

Trump showed more enthusiasm in another segment from the rally, in which he again railed against Joe Biden’s beach pics, even brazenly claiming that he had a “much better body.”

“On the day one of our closest allies is hit by a devastating terrorist attack, Trump is on stage talking about how much better his body is than Joe Biden’s,” Kimmel told the crowd.

You can see Kimmel’s monologue in the tweet embedded above.

Silence Between Songs is out now via Epic Records/Sing It Loud. Find more information here.

Through more than five innings on Monday evening, the Atlanta Braves were utterly lifeless. After losing Game 1 in shutout fashion, the game’s best offense was no-hit for nearly six innings by Philadelphia’s Zack Wheeler in Game 2, with the Phillies taking a 4-0 lead that seemed to be almost insurmountable. Then, the Braves began to chip away, first with a manufactured run with two outs in the sixth and then with a pair of two-run home runs from Travis d’Arnaud and Austin Riley to take their first lead of the series.

Erasing a four-run deficit would be cause for enough excitement in any playoff baseball game but, after Atlanta took the lead in the eighth, there were more fireworks to come. In fact, Phillies star Bryce Harper earned a walk to open the inning, prompting a pitching change and, after a harmless first out, Nick Castellanos smashed a baseball 392 feet to center field at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Fortunately for the Braves, 392 feet wasn’t enough to clear the fence, with center fielder Michael Harris II making a wonderful catch to begin a game-ending double play.

Not only did Harris save a likely game-tying run with the catch, but he quickly flung the ball back to the infield. While the initial execution was not perfect for Atlanta, third baseman Austin Riley stepped in, secured the ball, and delivered a strike to first base to double off Harper, who understandably strayed far from first base thinking he would score. In short, this play would have been wild under any circumstances, but for it to cap a playoff game in which the favored home team overcame a four-run deficit was the stuff of baseball madness.

The Braves and Phillies will reconvene on Wednesday, with the action moving to Philadelphia for Game 3 and Game 4. Overall, an argument could be make that Philadelphia did its job in stealing a split on the road, but Game 2’s finish will have everyone talking until Game 3 begins in nearly 48 hours.

The holidays are quickly approaching. But before everyone prepares to join their loved ones for some cozy quality time, you must make it through spooky season. To help music and film lovers get into the Halloween spirit, The Nightmare Before Christmas production will return to the Hollywood Bowl. Last year, Boygenius’ Phoebe Bridgers stepped into the beloved role of Sally during the London performances. Before that, Billie Eilish did the honors.

Halsey will flex their musical theatre muscles for this year’s concert starring Danny Elfman. The show will take place over the Halloween weekend (October 27 through 29.) However, Halsey will only appear on October 27 and 28. On the official ticketing page for the event, Fred Armisen, Ken Page, Riki Lindhome, and more will also star in the show.

According to Variety, the movie’s original voice actor, Catherine O’Hara, will step in on the closing night as both Sally and Shock. Lindhome will serve as Shock on the first two shows. Regarding the musicians providing the live instrumentation, John Mauceri will return as the conductor, and violist Sandy Cameron has also been confirmed.

The Nightmare Before Christmas In Concert will occur between October 27 and 29 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. Find more information here.

Some have a hard-and-fast rule when it comes to movies: If it’s based on a book, best to read the book first. With some films, it’s a bit more complicated. Someone who hasn’t read David Grann’s best-selling 2017 non-fiction tome Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI probably won’t be lost watching all 3 ½ hours of Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed adaptation. But they may be missing some details given that Scorsese and team decided to do something the book does not.

Last month, both Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, one of its stars and executive producers, opened up about how they effectively inverted the source. In his book, Grann devotes most of the focus — the second and largest section — to the federal investigation into a spate of mysterious deaths amongst an enclave of Native Americans in Oklahoma who’d gotten wealthy on oil money. To the filmmakers, the first script felt like it took the wrong tack.

“After a certain point, I realized I was making a movie about all the white guys,” Scorsese told Time. “Meaning I was taking the approach from the outside in, which concerned me.”

“It just didn’t feel like it got to the heart of it,” DiCaprio said to British Vogue about the original script. “We weren’t immersed in the Osage story.”

So instead of playing Tom White, the former Texas Marshal who leads the federal investigation into the deaths, DiCaprio switched over to Ernest Burkhart, a white man who marries Lily Gladstone’s Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman who watches as family and friends are killed off, then becomes gravely ill herself. Perhaps

As DiCaprio explained, “There was this tiny, small scene between Mollie and Ernest that provoked such emotion in us at the reading, and we just started to penetrate into what that relationship was, because it was so twisted and bizarre and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.”

So should you read Killers of the Flower Moon before you see Killers of the Flower Moon? Up to you! It might help to know certain things about the federal investigation — including some fascinating stuff about the early days of policing and private investigators — that Scorsese and team might not have had time to put in their already epic movie. Or maybe you can do that after you’ve seen what critics are calling another stunning picture from one of cinema’s biggest cheerleaders.

Killers of the Flower Moon hits theaters on October 20.

Martin Scorsese may drag some of today’s biggest movies, but that doesn’t mean he’s given up on the medium he loves more than almost anyone. The beloved filmmaker and cinema cheerleader recently laid out for how it can move on from the comic book and franchise model. He’s even optimistic about its future, in part thanks to the one-two punch of non-franchise cinema that was “Barbenheimer.”

“I do think that the combination of Oppenheimer and Barbie was something special. It seemed to be, I hate that word, but the perfect storm,” Scorsese told The Hindustan Times (as caught by Deadline). “It came about at the right time. And the most important thing is that people went to watch these in a theater. And I think that’s wonderful.”

Mind you, Scorsese hasn’t actually seen either film yet, but he is a fan of Christopher Nolan. What’s more, when cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto was done shooting his latest film, Killers of the Flower Moon, his next assignment was — you guessed it — Barbie.

Besides, he doesn’t have to see the two money gobblers to spot one of their most assuring qualities: how dissimilar they were.

“The way it fit perfectly – a film with such entertainment value, purely with the bright colors – and a film with such severity and strength, and pretty much about the danger of the end to our civilization – you couldn’t have more opposite films to work together,” Scorsese explained. “It does offer some hope for a different cinema to emerge, different from what’s been happening in the last 20 years, aside from the great work being done in independent cinema.”

Scorsese isn’t the only legendary filmmaker of his generation to find hope in the success of the Barbie/Oppenheimer diptych. No less than Francis Ford Coppola called it a “victory for cinema.”

Combined, the two films have grossed nearly $2.5 billion worldwide. Given that one is an grim epic that’s mostly men in rooms talking, that’s nothing to sneeze at.

The pop girlies have had their fun, but Dua Lipa seems ready to reclaim her throne. The“Dance The Night” singer has begun to pursue her goal of making a dent in the acting world thanks to appearances in the record-grossing Barbie movie and the forthcoming spy film Argylle. But she isn’t turning her back on music just yet. In fact, Dua Lipa may be hinting that a new album is on the way.

Thanks to creative changes to her Apple Music page, fans believe Dua Lipa’s highly anticipated third studio album could drop sooner than you think. So, is Dua Lipa dropping a new album soon? As of today, there’s no confirmed answer.

However, back in Dua Lipa’s interview with New York Times’ T Magazine from August, she said it will be released in 2024. (Argylle, meanwhile, is slated to hit theaters on February 2 of that year.)

As for the sound supporters should look forward to, according to journalist Kurt Soller, “[It] will still be pop… Although [Dua is] developing a new sound that may be informed less by the house and disco beats beneath songs like ‘Physical’ and ‘Hallucinate’ than by 1970s-era psychedelia.”

Tensions between Israel and Hamas have continued to grow. Over the weekend, after the former declared war following a massive attack, “Uptown Funk” singer Bruno Mars was forced to cancel the second day of his concert in Tel Aviv’s Park HaYarkon due to safety concerns. The 2023 Tribe Of Nova Festival, held on October 7 in southern Israel, was attacked by militant forces.

Reports in the region are still gathering the facts as outlets verify the gruesome footage shared on social media. What is known so far? Outlets such as CBC and CNN have reported the death toll from the Israel music festival attack, confirming that at least 260 people have been recovered from festival grounds. As of Monday, October 9, the total number of attendees has not been revealed.

During U2’s recent concert at The Sphere in Las Vegas, frontman and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Bono offered his condolences to the people, families, and other loved ones of those affected by the attack.

“In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence,” Bono told the crowd. “But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those beautiful kids at that music festival. It was a festival of music and peace. A festival of music and peace. Can you imagine?”

Gwyneth Paltrow is technically still an actress, insofar as she’s never formally retired. Based on interviews it seems she’s lost her mojo for it. The reigning queen of Goop can’t even remember which Marvel movies she’s in, and when asked she no longer makes those, her response was blunt: Tony Stark is dead, so who needs Pepper Potts? But what about that Academy Award she won a quarter century back? Well, at least it serves a practical function.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Paltrow did one of those rapid-fire Vanity Fair interviews, where they pelt the rich and/or famous with one question after another. It begins simply, with her showing off her verdant garden, being asked what she’s growing and whatnot. Eventually they get to a garden door, which has been propped open by a certain golden object. The interviewer IDs it as her Shakespeare in Love Oscar, which is quickly confirmed by Paltrow.

“My doorstop!” she exclaims. “Its works perfectly.”

Wild as it seems, Paltrow hasn’t had a starring role in a movie since 2006’s Proof. She’s still acted aplenty, but always in supporting roles. (Hey, she’s pretty charming in those Marvel movies!) Not that she’s doing nothing. Her energy is instead poured into running Goop, her sometimes controversial wellness and lifestyle brand, which she occasionally has to defend from dunking. Who needs an Academy Award when you’ve got a vagina candle?

You can watch Paltrow’s full Vanity Fair chat in the video below.
