Jon Stewart addressed the impending election last night on The Daily Show, noting that each presidential candidate is now making their “closing arguments.” That means there is one more week for the host to decide who he’s going to vote for this year.
“Normally I just vote for whomever The Washington Post endorses,” he said. “But I’m not an Amazon Prime member, so…”

Theater owners have been trying to use smell as a way to heighten the cinematic experience since before "talkies" came into existence, and from the late 1920s until the early 1960s, many attempts were made to add smell to the mix to make things more immersive and memorable for audiences. There was even a so-called "battle of the smellies" between multiple companies vying to dominate this niche market. One of the contenders, Smell-o-Vision, crashed and burned after 1960's mystery comedy "Scent of Mystery" didn't live up to its potential, and later, the technology was listed on a Time reader survey of the Top 100 Worst Ideas of the 20th Century.
Some filmmakers, like John Waters and Robert Rodriguez, have leaned into the smell idea, making movies where scratch-and-sniff cards were handed out to audiences as they entered the theater, and Regal's 4Dx system currently utilizes a smell component. But now,...

After HBO aired two seasons of Winning Time, a series about the often-controversial glories of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s, FX responded with a series about Los Angeles' other pro basketball team.
That would be the Clippers, an organization that shares a building with the Lakers while offering all the dysfunction but none of the championship banners.
Rather than concentrating on past glories, the FX series Clipped has told the story of the 2014 scandal in which longtime owner Donald Sterling was banned for life from the NBA and forced to sell.
Clipped wrapped up on Tuesday, with the final chapter of Sterling as the team's owner.

Sterling may have been forced out of ownership, a rare occurrence in American sports, although he did sell the team, bought years earlier for just $12.5 million, for $2 billion.

Marking his tenth film, “Naked Nations – Tribe Hong Kong” is also Scud's swan song in filmmaking, with the fact actually being a central element of the narrative of this 161-minute mix of drama, making-of, documentary and self-hommage. At the same time, it can also be perceived as an act of defiance, while one of the central elements of the majority of Scud's films, male nudity is also quite prevalent here, although this time, his own too.
Naked Nations – Tribe Hong Kong is screening at International Film Festival Rotterdam
Scud invites his collaborators from previous films including Adonis He and Osman Hung, along with Stanley Kwan (one of the few men that doesn't get naked in the movie) and embarks in a multileveled “trip” that seems to unfold in a number of thematic axes. The first one is the whole Covid situation, with Scud recording how the government handled the...

Be nice to waiters. That’s the first lesson of new four-part BBC One drama Boiling Point. Be nice to waiters not only because it’s nice to be nice, but because however calm and smiling they emerge from behind those flapping kitchen doors, inside blows a hurricane. Personal dramas and business pressures, dodgy colleagues, nightmare customers, shifts that end at midnight and leave you buzzing with adrenaline that needs to go somewhere… it’s the perfect cocktail for dysfunction and conflict. Handily, that in turn is the perfect cocktail for TV drama, as we know from rightly critically acclaimed US series The Bear (watch that and watch this too; there’s plenty of room for both.)
Boiling Point’s second lesson is just to let this creative team get on with it. Give them a second series with the full six episodes immediately, please, because they clearly know what they’re doing.

The trailer for OWN’s forthcoming docuseries, “Rebuilding Black Wall Street,” featuring host Morris Chestnut has been revealed.
Premiering on Sept. 29, the series will follow Chestnut and build teams, led by designers Jon Pierre and Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin (Two Steps Home), as they take viewers through Greenwood’s rich history and the personal journeys of those featured – many of whom are the descendants of original Black Wall Street residents – over the course of six episodes.

A man called Warren dressed as a loaf of bread bickers awkwardly with a mother and her child in a supermarket. This spot comes from Ddb the agency that not long ago rebranded Telstra.
2. Big W ‘Everyone’s a Winner Baby’
Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney’s first ad for Big W was, unsurprisingly, not press released. A bouncing blue blob made from Big W’s logo was the creative highlight. “Looks like it was put together in powerpoint,” suggested one Mumbrella reader.
3. Subway ‘Official Training Restaurant of Athletes’

His mother later re-married a butcher named Tom Denny and they lived in Sydney with his sister, Terri. Simon attended Ballina High School. After a time, his mother moved to New South Wales where Simon grew up. He did not know that Denny was not his real father's name. Being raised near the ocean developed his love for the sea and all things water-based, such as surfing and water polo. He recalled, "I didn't grow up with money, but I grew up with a lot of space...I was committed to the ocean." After graduating high school he returned to Sydney and intended to become a nurse, but didn't finish his degree. (Nurse Baker has a nice ring to it.) Thereafter he worked in menial jobs,...

Dear readers; today is the day that I walk across a stage and shake hands with Donna Shalala to signify that I have completed the coursework required to earn my Masters degree from the University of Miami. I won't be receiving the Actual degree for another few weeks, but there are so many places in life where appearances are what matter and according to my family who have come to Miami to watch those ten seconds happen, this is one of those times. Besides, fetching the mail is never a good excuse to buy a fancy new dress and shoes and send out announcements. In fact, this column will be posted right around the time my commencement ceremony wraps up, so if you're feeling generous please spare a thought for me and the difficult job search that's in my immediate future. Also, I really hope the world doesn't end on...

It's hard to believe that it took this long for me to finally sit down with Adrien Brody. I've been writing about his career since his first few films, and I remember seeing him in a film called "Restaurant" at a festival about a decade ago. Long time coming, and now that we've actually spoken, he's every bit as intelligent and confident about his craft as I expected him to be, and even before the cameras were turned on, he was engaging and cracking jokes, working to set me at ease. Still, if I'm finally going to interview him, it seems appropriate that...

It seems that the romance between Leighton Meester and her "Gossip Girl" co-star Sebastian Stan is getting serious. A friend of the couple claims both of them have planned to live together anytime soon. "They are really in love. They plan on moving in together soon," the pal tells New York Post's Page Six.
On Saturday afternoon, August 8, Leighton Meester and Sebastian Stan were caught enjoying some beverages at Day & Night Restaurant & Beach Club in Southampton. Leaving the venue, the lovebirds were seen heading to East Hampton to attend the premiere of the 25-year-old actor's new flick "Spread".
