Nice country you got there! Would be a shame if the barflies from Tattooine happened to it.

At first glance, Frank Herbert’s Dune (1965) might appear to be a mere copy of the story of Lawrence of Arabia with some science-fictional window dressing. Several critics have pointed to the similarities between Lawrence and Paul Atreides—both are foreign figures who immerse themselves in a desert culture and help lead the locals to overthrow their oppressors. The 1962 film based on a romanticized version of Lawrence’s journey, Lawrence of Arabia (directed by David Lean), was criticall...

(2 votes) Growing up in the South is hard. Ask anyone from Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, the cane fields of Louisiana, or the Hill Country of south-central Texas whether they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and you’re likely to get a wry smile in reply. ‘Silver spoons? Son, we didn’t even have a ceiling fan.’ “Luxury” is not on the menu wherever cornbread and collard greens are served. Take that and multiply it by about a hundred if you’re black.

Taylor Tomlinson @ Wiseguys For decades, women have struggled to be taken seriously in the world of stand-up comedy. It can be even harder when youre a young woman, and harder still when you have the pixie-ish looks of Taylor Tomlinson. Yet despite becoming a headliner around the country when she was barely 25—and a top ten finalist on the ninth and final season of Last Comic Standing when she had only just become old enough to drink legally—Tomlinson has become a distinctive voice in the ...

Befitting its subject matter, “Coyote” has already had an unusual journey. Once planned as a weekly, ten-episode series for the Paramount Network, it was shut down for the pandemic at six episodes, which will now premiere on CBS All Access in one bingeworthy drop. As if that’s not enough, the program itself is an unusually bumpy road in terms of quality. Just when you think it’s working, a hackneyed line of dialogue throws off the rhythm. Just when you’re about to give up on it, a cle...
