The historic Houston theater that director Richard Linklater called his “film school” and that for decades was the place to catch hard-to-find independent and foreign films has closed for good. Like many U.S. movie theaters and other businesses, the River Oaks Theatre was a victim of the coronavirus pandemic.. ( Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle via AP)Brett Coomer/APShow MoreShow Less
The last few weeks, in particular, have seen Ri bless us with some rare vintage looks from the likes of Gucci and Chanel. Earlier this week, for instance, the singer was spotted out in Los Angeles, wearing a pair of feathered and beaded jeans from the Gucci archives specifically, the label’s SS99 collection by then-creative director Tom Ford. Incidentally, those same jeans are currently listed for a cool £11,000 (or around $15,000) online.
Paired with a white t-shirt and a massive faux fur bucket hat, the jeans follow a string of other archival finds paired with pieces from emerging designers (see: the vintage Chanel coat and Dior choker worn with a set from Maisie Wilen, or the Mowalola tank top layered with a Dries Van Noten fur coat). Rihanna’s LVMH-backed Fenty fashion house may be closing its doors after just two years in operation, but that obviously doesn’t mean she has to stop raiding the fashion archives to serve us her own, iconic looks any time soon.

U2’s “With Or Without You” in The Americans
U2’s “With Or Without You” is an unexpected song choice for a Cold War espionage drama, but it’s an oddly perfect fit for
The Americans’ intense series finale. The crushing impact of the music and lyrics is most felt when it drops during the poignant moment when Philip and Elizabeth see their daughter, Paige, at the train station, and they realize she’s chosen to stay in America instead of escape with them to Russia. Bono belting the song’s falsetto has never felt more like a personal attack than when combined with Keri Russell’s heartbreaking expressions. [Saloni Gajjar]
“Count On Me” also features a surprise appearance from A$AP Rocky, who is credited as a co-writer. According to a recently-released tracklist for
Roadrunner, the rapper will additionally appear alongside A$AP Ferg on a song titled “Bankroll”.
Last month, Brockhampton released their first single from the new album, titled “Buzzcut” and featuring Danny Brown, who also appears in a chaotic, colourful music video.
