Why do movies look like that now?

Gregg Araki on I Want Your Sex , Madonna, Mapplethorpe, and Gooning
A friend recently quipped that Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day was “Mysterious Skin for straight people.” Joking aside, it’s an apt comparison, beyond the whole alien trauma thing: both Spielberg and queer punk iconoclast Gregg Araki share a fascination for characters driven by their search for connection and fulfillment in broken homes and fractured societies.
The Best Art World Movies of 2025
The best art world movies of 2025 depicted a refreshingly of-the-moment take on that rarefied milieu: ambivalent, anxious, hungry for success, but uncertain of how it will be achieved in a rapidly changing landscape. Some documentaries interrogated the market, other films dealt with art’s power of escape from the terrifying ordinariness of everyday life. Dying creative relationships, theatrical video games, and AI vampirism are some other threads in the best art world movies of 2025.
Don’t Look Now: Jamie Lloyd’s “Sunset Boulevard”
Nicole Scherzinger’s arms are magnificent. Sculpted, toned, muscular. By her own admission, “45 years old, I’ve never been more strong physically, mentally, emotionally. I’m in my prime.” And what she does with those arms. Scoops the whole crowd up within them, at times cradling her audience or covetously embracing, even clinging onto us, her spectators in rapture. She conjures demons, and dreams, and lights, camera, and action.
Crypto: Predicting XRP's Trajectory Amidst a Potential Bitcoin Plunge to $80,000
Exploring the Ripple Effect on XRP in a Volatile Crypto Market Understanding the Current Crypto Market Landscape As of February 25, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is facing notable turbulence. Bitcoin (BTC), the world's leading cryptocurrency, has recently dipped below the $90,000 mark, raising concerns and uncertainty among investors. This downturn has led to an essential question: What would happen to other digital assets, particularly XRP, if Bitcoin continues its descent toward $80,000?
GYPSY and SHOW BOAT are back on stage. One shows you how to do a revival of a canon musical, and the other uses Audra McDonald to justify charging $100 a ticket. | by Kyle Turner | Jan, 2025 | Medium
When it comes to revivals, you gotta get a gimmick Kyle Turner · Follow 9 min read · -- In the new mountings of Gypsy and Show Boat, there’s some literal signposting. In the former, the little boys scooped up to become a part of Mama Rose’s (Audra McDonald) kiddie vaudeville act, headlined by her daughter June, hop around with the highway plaques denoting which cities they’ve traveled to on their odyssey towards the Orpheum Circuit.
I don’t have much to say
Kyle Turner · Follow 2 min read · -- I don’t have much to say other than that I’ve felt my ambition, excitement, and hope about the world slowly congeal, rot, and decay over the last several months. A US tax payer funded genocide in Palestine rages on, not to mention the other mass atrocities occurring in Sudan and the Congo, several friends and acquaintances have had to leave the city, and a job recruiter just told me over the phone “the job market is so bad”.

Nothing this wrong could feel so right! The smash hit farce The Play That Goes Wrong celebrates its 10th year in the West End at the Duchess Theatre, and tickets are now available through 1 February 2026. Critically acclaimed and loved by audiences for over a decade, theatregoers have enjoyed the antics of its clumsy characters night after night.

Succession star and multi-award winning actor Brian Cox returns to the stage in the new play The Score as Johann Sebastian Bach, written by Oliver Cotton and directed by Trevor Nunn, running at Theatre Royal Haymarket from 20 February to 26 April 2025. In 1740s Prussia, Johann Sebastian Bach enters the court of the erratic Frederick II, which leads to a battle of wits and wills.

'The Notebook' review — a trip down memory lane on stage and off | New York Theatre Guide
In The Notebook, memory is on the mind. With a book by Bekah Brunstetter and music and lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson, The Notebook Broadway musical attempts to create a nesting doll of memories – the audience’s and the characters'. The audience's, by recalling the nostalgic affection they may have for the 1996 book and 2004 film. The characters', by triple-casting its romantic leads by age.
Flat Earth: “Dune: Part Two”
Dyson vacuums. Target store brand snacks with the matte purple. Apple Vision Pro. The litany of friends whose living rooms are plucked from the Wayfair catalogue. Windows XP desktop backgrounds. These are the things I thought about while trying to fight off fatigue during Denis Villlenueve’s Dune: Part Two.
'The Seven Year Disappear' review — Cynthia Nixon stars as a woman grappling with art and motherhood | New York Theatre Guide
Read our review of The Seven Year Disappear off Broadway, a world-premiere play written by Jordan Seavey and starring Cynthia Nixon and Taylor Trensch. That old adage “absence makes the heart grow fonder” does not seem to apply to the prickly, co-dependent, and possibly parasitic relationship between performance artist icon Miriam (Cynthia Nixon) and her son/business partner Naphtali (Taylor Trensch) in The Seven Year Disappear.
'A Sign of the Times' review — the '60s are back, music, movements, and all | New York Theatre Guide
For a brief moment, A Sign of the Times gestures toward a more interesting version of itself: one that conveys, amid its charmingly hopeful theme of seeking justice and meaning in the big city, that such quests don't always succeed, and there is still value in being committed to one’s beliefs and virtues anyway. But a typical happily ever after soon washes that flourish of subversion away, in spite of the musical's primary dramatic fuel being that the only certain thing is change itself.
'Sunset Baby' review — Moses Ingram shines as a woman in a personal revolution | New York Theatre Guide
See [Sunset Baby]((https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/38922-sunset-baby-tickets) at least for the pleasure of hearing the thumping bass and the holy cry of Nina Simone’s voice that soundtracks the play. And then go for the volcanic eruption of Dominique Morisseau’s words, which toggle effortlessly between the naturalistic and the poetic but sharp. And then see it for Moses Ingram’s performance as Nina, named for musician/activist Simone as the child of Black revolutionaries.

Limp Wrists and Locked Jaws: Inside the Strange, Social World of Gay Men and Rich Women Original
“We owe them a modicum of respect! The homosexuals, I mean,” C.Z. Guest tells her friend Babe Paley on a department store escalator. The two had gone shopping after hearing their mutual friend Lee Radziwill opt out of helping end a public beef between rivals Truman Capote and Gore Vidal—and deciding to call them “two fags fighting,” to add insult to injury.
Grieve for It
My therapist has not been of much help lately. All he ever says is “suffering is the result of resistance to suffering” and “one just has to accept that the world simply is”. He might be saying it in less saccharine terms, but his “therapist voice”, which sounds as cloying as cough syrup coating the throat, brings out a certain toddler philosopher quality in the truisms.
Jes Tom Tells Us How to Maneuver the "Dyke to Fag Pipeline"
Jes Tom is a tree and a sprout. On three occasions over two years, I’ve seen the comedian and writer’s solo show Less Lonely, and each time they have refined more and more this process of growing in reverse, or “Benjamin Buttoning,” as Tom jokes on stage. In its most recent Off-Broadway run, their body is loose and flowy, Tom’s sense of embodiment as playfully limp as the billowy white shirt and wide-legged black pants they wear on stage.
This Little World: “Fanny & Alexander” on Christmas
One side effect of Lexapro I was not expecting was that, in the last year, I’ve become a little bit more woo woo. Formerly a committed secularist agnostic, with an upbringing adjacent to a number of religions and belief systems that takes five minutes to explain, I was perfectly content to decide not to decide and let people be attuned to whatever, while thinking somewhat condescending thoughts of relief that I didn’t have to manage my life around thoughts about my soul or God or whatever.
Male Nudity in Movies - How We Got Here
Spoilers for Saltburn: Skip to the Next Section to Avoid When Barry Koeghan’s Oliver prances around the gargantuan estate of Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, he does so in nothing. This stark display of male nudity in movies reflects the evolution of such imagery in cinema.
'The Night of the Iguana' review — | New York Theatre Guide
New York’s winter weather is on the warmer side this year, mid- to high 40s, but still chilly enough for city dwellers to prepare themselves with jackets and scarves. The atmosphere of Emily Mann’s revival of The Night of the Iguana by Tennessee Williams appears to be nearly 60 degrees higher, so sweltering that everything feels like molasses.
Eyes Wide Shut: Blogging Through Genocide
Every morning the last two months I have woken up with my heart feeling like molten steel, hardening from the inside but white hot and searing on the exterior. I try not to look at my phone too long, and I deleted Twitter from it ages ago, but even if I manage to turn my eyes away directly from more photographic or video or whatever evidence of more death in Gaza, its stench has polluted my every waking thought. I feel crazy and sad all the time. I am not fun to be around anymore.
'Hell's Kitchen' review — Alicia Keys's soulful songs take the stage | New York Theatre Guide
In Hell’s Kitchen, a teenager on the cusp of adulthood, 17-year-old Ali (Maleah Joi Moon) falls for a boy from the proverbial wrong side of town, Knuck (Chris Lee); fights with her overbearing mother, Jersey (Shoshana Bean); discovers her musical vocation via elderly neighbor Miss Liza Jane (Kecia Lewis); yearns for her absent musician father Davis (Brandon Victor Dixon); and comes of age against the the backdrop of the title neighborhood before former mayor Rudy Giuliani gentrified it in the...
'Sad Boys in Harpy Land' review — a fearless, hilarious exploration of self-loathing | New York Theatre Guide
Read our five-star review of Alexandra Tatarsky's Sad Boys in Harpy Land, one of three solo performances running at Playwrights Horizons throughout November. At first, the choice between a worse hell — the world outside these doors or the one you make in your mind — is one many probably avoid as much as possible. Must they compete?
Sondheim the Cinephile: How Film Shaped His Work
When journalist DT Max told Stephen Sondheim that he was both “never much of a Hitchcock guy” and was unfamiliar with the Master of Suspense’s gem Shadow of a Doubt, the composer/lyricist seemingly could only muster the following: “Oh man, oh man, oh man.” Everyone knows Stephen Sondheim loved puzzles. But his second greatest love seemed to be the movies.
'I Can Get It For You Wholesale' review — musical, like its lead, desperately tries to have it all | New York Theatre Guide
It’s incredible that the cultural legacy of I Can Get It For You Wholesale — the 1962 musical by Jerome Weidman (book) and Harold Rome (music and lyrics), loosely based on Weidman’s novel — is fairly limited to the fact that it marked Barbra Streisand's Broadway debut. It seems particularly ironic given that the show’s primary thematic anxiety is legacy itself, situated in the context of a world hostile to Jews.
‘Covenant’ review — devilish drama reimagines religion and possession | Official NY Theatre Guide
The ominous thrum of spirituals greets the audience walking into Covenant at Roundabout Theatre Company’s Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre the wood-paneled walls the color of an old nickel. When Ruthie (Lark White) enters, in a cranberry checkered dress with a handkerchief around her head, her proclamation that “everybody’s got a secret” emerges as a growl, a mix of defiance and fear.
Oliver and Company: How Ariadne Oliver Makes A Haunting in Venice Work
I have seen Tina Fey roll her milky white eyeballs at a pompous gasbag of a man more times than I can count. Her expressions of annoyance come from the place of a writer whose work has been interrupted or whose time has been wasted by, more often than not, male ego. There were times across 30 Rock’s seven seasons where Liz Lemon got in her own way, certainly, but the looming presence over her sanity was always some guy in a suit or ketchup-smeared t-shirt.
'Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors' review — a vampire romp with a bite | Official NY Theatre Guide
Vampires are back en vogue! The Last Voyage of the Demeter, adapted from the Captain’s Log in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, was released in theaters in August, while Netflix premiered Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain’s political satire El Conde, which imagines Chilean dictator Augustin Pinochet as a 250-year-old vampire, at the Venice International Film Festival two weeks ago.

Sex and the cinema girl: Karina Longworth dives into '80s and '90s erotic films, revealing herself
In the last days of Twitter, one thing is constant: there's barely a week that goes by before someone stirs the sex scenes in movies discourse pot. It is a confusing time, augmented by both the normalization and proliferation of internet pornography, meaningful progress on conversations about sex, gender, identity and power, and a Hollywood film industry that has seemingly eliminated sexuality from a cinematic ecosystem that primarily courts comic book fans and children.
8 Comedians Define the Meaning of ‘Queer Hack’
Photo-Illustration: Vulture. Photos: Getty Images; NBC; Jon Setter; Whitney Browne; CBS As more and more queer comedians have migrated from bar sets and showcases to Comedy Central, HBO Max, Hulu, and NBC over the past several years, think pieces and essays have showered much-deserved accolades on the growing mainstream prevalence of the queer-comedy scene.
Dead Man Walking: Rebirth and Blackness in Live and Let Die
James Bond is always a bit of a foreigner when stepping onto the terrain of any of the exotic locations so dreamily conjured in his films. And, be it in Tokyo, Venice or Moscow, his foreignness is superseded by the implication of his power, by the resilient afterlife of British Imperialism and Colonialism. It doesn’t matter if Britain actually had a hand in any foreign country Bond enters; the threat is always there.
15 Movies That Made Us Queer

It’s no secret that The Mummy has been the cause of many a bisexual awakening. From Rachel Weisz’s librarian outfit to Imhotep unhinging his jaw, there was something in the 1999 adventure film for everyone, no matter your tastes. We like to joke that movies like these “made us gay,” but at the risk of explaining the humor behind that phrasing, the truth is that media often helps us recognize desires and understandings that were long fomenting beneath the surface.

Body Double: BABYLON, or NOT ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD MOVIE
On how “Babylon” is great because it understands the experience of someone who grew up watching movies about people who party and do drugs but only recently actually started going to parties and doing drugs As I have told my friends when defending it, my theory about Babylon, the epic cinematic blaspheming of Hollywood history and the industry’s transition from silent to sound pictures, is that it was made by someone who only recently started doing drugs.
There's No News Like Fake News: Tomorrow Never Dies Today
At the White House Correspondents Dinner, Michelle Wolf dug hard into the Trump administration at large, people within it, the political climate and, more incisively, the fictions—and metafictions—of the news itself. Skewering the room mercilessly, she said: There’s a ton of news right now, a lot is going on, and we have all these 24-hour news networks, and we could be covering everything. Instead, we’re covering three topics.
Why Jennifer Coolidge's Tanya needed to die in 'The White Lotus: Sicily' finale Original
Just before she is about to be married and spend her first night with her husband, the spiritually winged Butterfly of the seminal opera Madama Butterfly says, “Oh, could I but vanish, my blushes to hide!” A small, but significant moment; this a young woman who is about to be transformed by pleasure, so much so that she wishes to disappear into herself, into the possible ecstasy of love itself. But is it love?

You might be tempted to call this list “chaotic,” but I’d prefer “eclectic.” As LGBTQ+ representation expands, and as queer and trans people continue to make deeper inroads into the film industry, we’re witnessing an explosion of talent across genres. Gone are the years when a list like this would only have a blend of arthouse fare and Oscar-baiting biopics.

Die Another Day at 20: The Self-Referential Satire of James Bond's Most Hated Outing
Despite its 2002 release date, there are almost no mentions of or references to Twin Towers in the 20th James Bond film, Die Another Day. And while Die Another Day had other things on its mind in lieu of the War on Terror in a more literal sense—something that would change when the franchise would go back to basics with Casino Royale in 2006 and make it all textual—the film’s self-referentiality makes room for its own kind of twinning, albeit somewhat abstractly.
Provincetown Is Exactly as Charming and Gay as 'Bros' Makes It Seem
Everyone — bears, twinks, circuit gays, overeducated queers, families, tourists, and townies — gathers outside of Spiritus Pizza. Seated on benches, or plopped down on the tiny raised brick patio, or strewn across Commercial Street, the main drag of the town where Spiritus (and a majority of the other businesses and attractions) lays. Its sanguine painted front is hard to miss.
Is ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ the ‘Stepford Wives’ of the 2020s?
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Warner Bros., Shutterstock Written by Katie Silberman and directed by Olivia Wilde, Don’t Worry Darling is transparent about its references to The Stepford Wives, a cult classic that has influenced other contemporary directors of social thrillers such as Jordan Peele.
Director Andrew Ahn on “Fire Island” and His Quest to Tell Queer Asian Stories
The Asian American and queer film festival circuit have had a monumental impact on Ahn as an artist and filmmaker. It’s in these spaces that he can engage directly with an audience for whom his work, and his specific perspective, is deeply resonant. Ahn came out to himself and his friends in college and spent his early queer youth in gay Asian American spaces, like pan-Asian queer organizations and support groups. He would eventually come out to his parents via Dol (First Birthday).
“Petite Maman” Director Céline Sciamma on Film as a Form of Time Travel
Regarding the set, we did the same. We had one set that doesn’t age, that stays the same. We really decided that we would create the full continuity between the light in the exteriors that was natural light and the light in the studio so that it really feels like one common space and time. “I do believe that film is a kind of time travel.” Nelly asks adult Marion, “Does it upset you being here?” when they’re at Marion’s childhood home.
You’re Not Terrifying After All: Agatha Christie’s Marple and Nicolas Winding Refn’s Aesthetics of Justice
Primed to be the arbiter of equity, an old woman with a crocheted nighty hanging from her frail body emerges from the shadows, illuminated by the moonlight pouring through the narrow church windows. Her face is lined with sorrow, but also a stolid, stony confidence that reveals itself in the moon’s glow. A nun kneels before a statue of the Virgin Mary. Others join from behind the elderly lady, ready to watch her demonstrate righteousness, solving three murders.
Is Hollywood Killing Radical Queer Film?
What made the New Queer Cinema possible was an ecosystem of cheap rent and democratized access to art-making tools. We have an incredible array of tools at our disposal now, but the economic context has changed quite dramatically. Do you think that such a radical moment like New Queer Cinema could come to exist today? I wonder… I think it would have to be an extraordinary group of people, perhaps.
