The “Cuomo Prime Time” alum is joining Nexstar Media Group’s cable network NewsNation this fall as the host of his own primetime show there. The channel has not yet said which hour Cuomo will occupy; he had the 9 p.m. hour at CNN, which is now “CNN Tonight’s” timeslot. NewsNation is built on the concept of leaning neither hard left nor hard right, instead targeting the meaty middle between left-of-center and right-of-center....
Chris Hemsworth revealed that two of his children appear in “Thor: Love and Thunder” along with co-stars Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, and director Taika Waititi’s kids. “It’s really cool. They really wanted to be in it,” Hemsworth said in an interview with Kevin McCarthy of his daughter and son starring in the film. “Taika had his children in there. Christian Bale had his.

The comedian addressed the infamous Oscars slap by Will Smith during a recent stand-up set at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey as part of his tour with Kevin Hart. “Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face,” Rock said onstage (via US Weekly). “I’m not a victim.

Case in point: The surprise release of the continuation of The New York Times Presents series, “Controlling Britney Spears” was announced early on Friday. The announcement came about as out of left field as the upcoming release of Netflix’s highly anticipated surprise documentary “Britney vs. Spears.” Where Netflix’s documentary is set to release just one day before Spears’ latest court hearing, this new NYT addendum to last year’s “Framing Britney Spears” feels like a desperate attempt to steal some of the wind from Netflix....

“Ren Klyce, who is the sound designer, and I started talking years ago about how we wanted to make this feel like it was found in the UCLA archives — or in Martin Scorsese’s basement on its way to restoration,” Fincher said. “Everything has been compressed and made to sound like the 1940s. The music has been recorded with older microphones so it has a sort of sizzle and wheeze around the edges — you get it from strings, but you mostly get it from brass....
“Perhaps the problem is that we are in front of too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a ‘cut and paste’ of others,” Villeneuve said. “Perhaps these types of movies have turned us into zombies a bit… But big and expensive movies of great value there are many today. I don’t feel capable of being pessimistic at all.” The Academy Award-nominated Villeneuve has yet to step into the Marvel Cinematic Universe himself, though he has franchise hopes for his upcoming “Dune” adaptation, for which he plans to make a sequel depending on the success of the sci-fi epic in theaters and on HBO Max October 22....
