It’s-a this guy. [Normal man voice] “All right.” [World-weary sigh] “Let’s-a go.”
This is how Chris Pratt delivers the world’s most iconic video-game character’s most iconic catchphrase in the trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie. Stripped of all joy, all bounce, all adorable high-pitched pep. I know that’s the point. I know these trailers for feature-length adaptations of nostalgic childhood staples keep returning to the same tired joke from the same boring well that sites like Funny or Die and College Humor dug 15 years ago: What if happy nostalgia thing was gritty and/or grounded now haha?
Oh, honey. Chris Pratt is spending this holiday season with a swollen eye thanks to a definitely preventable bee sting. “So I’ve been following this bee lady on Instagram, she’s so cool and brave,” he said in an Instagram video. And she goes in front of these hives of bees and says, ‘They’re very calm today. I’m going to remove the bee, I’m going to use my bare hands to sift through the bees and look for the queen.
The greatest press tour of the year continued last night as Chris Rock made an appearance as Hashtag the Panda on The Tonight Show. Rock was edging in on Jimmy Fallon’s sit-down with Ben Stiller (the last Hashtag), who was there to promote Night at the Museum 3. He has a movie to promote, too! There’s an added layer of humor as well because in Top Five, Chris Rock’s character Andre Allen is best known for playing a guy in a bear costume, Hammy the Bear.

And the Winner Is… Appreciating the art of a great Hollywood acceptance speech. And the Winner Is… Appreciating the art of a great Hollywood acceptance speech. A few weeks ago, Christine Lahti sat next to Brad Pitt at an awards-season tastemaker screening in Los Angeles. Lahti leaned over to tell the actor that she admires his work, to which Pitt responded, “Oh yeah, I loved when you were in the bathroom when you won your Golden Globe.
Can’t unring this bell. The trailer for season six of Netflix’s Selling Sunset has almost everything we need: a giant but empty house in L.A., car doors opening and closing, and two new victims Realtors named Nicole Young and Bre Tiesi. But don’t worry, ex-Sunset seller Christine Quinn still lives rent free in Mary Fitzgerald’s head, the HBIC while the remaining Oppenheimer goes gallivanting across Europe. The trailer contains a multitude of potential storylines, ranging from Chrishell Stause’s “awakening” with G-Flip to new girl Bre, mother to one of Nick Cannon’s many children, catching the ire of former new girl Chelsea Lazkani.
RIP to these real ones. One of Christopher Nolan’s favorite things to do — besides insist beyond reason and science that everyone visit a movie theater during a pandemic to see Tenet, because it is simply too cinematic to be seen in the safety of one’s own home — is to make movies wherein a female character dies tragically, subsequently motivating a male protagonist into action. Nolan, a Leo who identifies as five-foot-11 and ¼ inches tall, simply loves (dead, fictional) women.

Céline Dion has a voice rivaled by few others. Soaring and powerful, its extraordinary range has meant the singer can reach stratospheric heights in emotive ballads and descend into sweet, softer keys for love songs.
But Dion also has a long history of attracting attention beyond her voice. She is also an icon of campery, self-deprecation, and endurance, all qualities she has famously shown throughout her (now sadly halted) career.
