LOS ANGELES ASSUMING Judd Apatow doesn’t change his mind, and he often does, his new movie, “Funny People,” will begin with a scene of Adam Sandler as no paying audience has ever seen him. In grainy video a boyishly goofy Mr. Sandler, still in his 20s with a tilted baseball cap on his head, is shown as he lies across a messy bed in a dingy Los Angeles apartment, making prank phone calls to the delight of a few off-screen observers. In the context of the movie (set for release on July 31), this is our introduction to the fictional comedian George Simmons, who grew up, got famous, became an arrogant movie star and then was told he had a fatal illness. For the character, the scene is a final moment of innocence before he loses his way on the road to celebrity and success. But in real life, this is material that Mr. Apatow shot himself almost 20 years ago, when he and Mr. Sandler were still struggling performers and roommates for whom a night at a Red Lobster was a costly indulgence. … [Read more...] about Funnymen With Serious Ambitions

In her last two movies — the sublime “Somewhere” and the seductive “Marie Antoinette” — Sofia Coppola has focused her rigorous attention on characters living inside bubbles of privilege, fairy tale precincts where the invisible magic of wealth and power makes wishes come true. Stephen Dorff’s drifting movie star and Kirsten Dunst’s capricious young queen both lead pampered existences of a kind that make them easy objects of envy and resentment, but Ms. Coppola examines them with detached, quiet sympathy, refusing to mock or judge. She anatomizes the spiritual conditions of people who might have seemed to be case studies in shallow, carefree materialism. “The Bling Ring,” her new feature (and her fifth over all), continues in this vein from a somewhat different perspective. It is not about the paralysis of having more than you could possibly want, but rather about the addictive thrills of wanting what you can’t quite have and trying to get it. The Southern California teenagers at … [Read more...] about Twinkly Totems of Fame, Theirs for the Taking

We’ve all been there. You’re running for federal office, the race is hot, the polls are tight, but you’re doing OK. Then, whammo: A porn star informs you that she’s about to tell the world you had an extramarital affair with her a few months after your wife gave birth to your youngest child . What do you do? You pay her off, of course. Well, let’s not be hasty. Maybe you should deny and ride it out—an especially appealing option if it was a lie or a dubious claim that the vast majority of people, including your wife, would not find credible. Joe Biden did this in 2020 and won. But you’re not Joe Biden. You’re a self-aggrandizing womanizer with a known history of extramarital affairs and allegations of sexual misconduct . Worse, one day before this porn star approached you, the world learned that—right around the time of this alleged affair—you’d also been caught on tape bragging that you’re so famous you can do “anything” you want to women, like, for … [Read more...] about How to Pay Off a Porn Star (If You Really Must)

No clear path on helping banks U.S. banking regulators gave investors a lot to chew on yesterday. The Federal Reserve went ahead with a quarter-point increase in interest rates, signaling that, for now, it remained more worried about inflation than banking stability. But while Jerome Powell, the central bank’s chair, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that they were focused on ways to improve regulation of the banking industry, Ms. Yellen appeared to backtrack on the prospect of extending insurance on deposits. That lack of clarity unnerved investors yesterday, sending shares in smaller banks tumbling, as they worried about what’s next. The Fed acknowledged that it may finally stop raising rates — “may” being the operative word, Mr. Powell said. Though officials forecast one more rate increase this year, that’s not set in stone. In some ways, Mr. Powell added, the turmoil hitting lenders now is effectively substituting for additional rate increases . How the … [Read more...] about Markets Struggle to Decide Where Banking Rules Go From Here

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 Perhaps you know Josh Segarra from his scene-stealing role as Lance on HBO Max's “The Other Two,” or remember him as a crooked district attorney of Star City in the CW's “Arrow,” or you caught him on Broadway when he originated the role of Emilio Estevez in “ On Your Feet! ” However you know him, Segarra is becoming more and more recognizable and this month adds two new projects to that list. First, Segarra appears in “ Scream VI ” as Danny, the boyfriend of Melissa Barrera's character. Segarra says when he auditioned he had two wishes if he got the part: he would either be the new Ghostface killer or he would die a spectacular death on screen. His callback audition scene seemed to grant one of those dreams. “They sent me a whole monologue confessing that I’m the killer. So I’m sitting there and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m the killer.’ I tell my wife, ‘I’m the killer.' I tell my … [Read more...] about Josh Segarra is becoming a Hollywood go-to scene-stealer
