“These decisions are not easy, they are not knee jerk, but they are necessary for the brand and for our priority which, you guys know, are all of us — the people here at ABC,” Godwin said on the call. Holmes and Robach, who have worked together since September 2020 when Holmes joined “GMA3,” were reported to be in a relationship with each other in November, when The Daily Mail published 65 photos of them on a “romantic weekend” trip in upstate New York....

Halloween has a soundtrack. It’s the shrieks, howls, and moans of a spooky sounds cassette. It’s the novelty songs from the era of late, late shows mingling with more straight-faced pop that dips a toe into the macabre and the supernatural. It’s the instrumentals that set the tone for the hauntings, possessions, and/or slashings of a favorite horror movie. Yet, for decades, this seasonal backdrop was incomplete. The Halloween canon lacked one of its most vital recordings, its esprit de fall confined to annual television airings, home video releases, and one hard to find read-along storybook and record....

Exhibitors hoped that the terrific initial results for “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” would persuade all studios to keep their release schedules intact and defer any aggressive moves toward home availability. Theaters still have momentum with upcoming debuts for “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” (October 1), “No Time To Die” (October 8), and “Dune” (October 22). “Halloween Kills” opens October 15 as the weekend’s sole wide release; theaters would have very much appreciated its exclusivity as well....

At many points in “Happening,” a weighty, naturalistic drama, Annie (Anamaria Vartolomei) opens her eyes wide. Her pupils shrink into tiny pinpoints. If she were a Marvel character, these would be the moments she transforms into her heroic alter-ego. But for Annie, a French literature student in 1963, power comes not from superhuman brawn but strength of will: She’s several weeks into an unwanted pregnancy, and though abortions are illegal — punishable with prison time — she’s determined to find a way to terminate it....

The official “History of Swear Words” synopsis from Netflix reads as follows: “An education in expletives: the history lesson you didn’t know you needed. ‘History of Swear Words,’ hosted by Nicolas Cage, is a loud and proudly profane series that explores the origins, pop culture-usage, science, and cultural impact of curse words.” Joining Cage in the series are experts in etymology and pop culture, plus historians and entertainers, all of whom sit down for interviews to shed a greater light on the use of curse words around the world....

This frenetic pace stems from a 13-year partnership with McKay, first as a producer through McKay and Will Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez Productions and now through Hyperobject Industries, McKay’s three-year-old company in which Messick is a partner. McKay’s latest film, comedy/crisis allegory “Don’t Look Up,” landed four nominations for Picture, Original Screenplay (McKay), Original Score (Nicholas Britell), and Editing (Hank Corwin). Oscars often ignore comedies, but as evidenced by “Broadcast News,” “Dr....
