“The pay disparity between me and Spider-Man was very extreme,” Dunst recently told The Independent. “I didn’t even think about it. I was just like, ‘Oh yeah, Tobey [Maguire] is playing Spider-Man.’ But you know who was on the cover of the second ‘Spider-Man’ poster? [She flashes a grin and points at her chest] Spider-Man and me.” Dunst also hinted at conversations with the “Spider-Man” team over straightening her crooked teeth, something she refused....

In “La Piscine,” Jean-Paul and Marianne (Delon and Schneider) are spending an idyllic holiday together at a luxurious villa near St. Tropez, loaned to them by a friend. Their sensual solitude is interrupted by the impromptu arrival of their mutual friend Harry, a garrulous record producer, with his 18-year-old daughter Penelope, whose existence they weren’t previously aware of. If this story sounds familiar, that’s probably because it inspired Luca Guadagnino’s 2016 movie “A Bigger Splash,” swapping in Matthias Schoenaerts, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, and Dakota Johnson for the French quartet in the original, which shot in September 1968 at the Ville Loumere overlooking St....

Titled “New Body Rhumba,” the track serves as the backdrop for a massive dance number during the film’s closing credits. And if you can’t wait for “White Noise” to premiere in theaters November 25 or stream on Netflix December 30, the song is now available online. The song marks the latest reunion for a band that seems like it just can’t break up despite everyone’s best efforts. LCD Soundsystem formed in 2001 and quickly rose to prominence despite only releasing three albums before breaking up in 2011....

During a 2021 oral history in honor of the film’s 20th anniversary, actress Jessica Cauffiel who played Elle’s best friend Margot told The New York Times that Elle and Vivian (Blair) ended up together, with romantic connotations. “The first ending was Elle and Vivian in Hawaii in beach chairs, drinking margaritas and holding hands,” Cauffiel explained. “The insinuation was either they were best friends or they had gotten together romantically.” However, audiences didn’t like the ending, so a few more were filmed....

As Vanity Fair reports: “Before DiCaprio signed on, he asked McKay if they could include a speech in the script, something akin to the ‘I’m mad as hell’ scene in ‘Network.’ ‘And I was like, “Speeches are tricky, man,”‘ McKay recalls telling him, worried about sounding preachy. ‘It’s like drum solos. They were awesome in the ’70s but…’” “DiCaprio countered that they could undermine the speech for laughs, and so together they rewrote the speech 15 times,” the profile continues, with McKay adding, “I think it’s the biggest laugh in the movie when I test screened it....

Through four hours of “Loki,” the most remarkable aspect of Marvel’s third so-called television series is how quickly it can pivot. The Time Keepers are dead! No, they’re just androids. Loki is finally going to say something from the heart! Oh wait, he’s dead — except he’s not, so long as you watch the credits. These little twists and turns are standard storytelling in the MCU and beyond; what’s frustrating is that so many of them mean so little, especially when it comes to characters....

But co-showrunner Patrick McKay says that’s not really who they had in mind when writing these short, hairy-footed friends. “I have to tell you, what we talked about was Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz,” he said to IndieWire, referencing the “I Love Lucy” pals. Of course, McKay admits that he would probably also make the Frodo and Sam analogy too. It’s there for the taking. While McKay and co-showrunner JD Payne had plenty of Elf and Man and Dwarf characters to incorporate from J....
