Today I’m feeling unapologetic about self-promotion! So if you’re looking for a good holiday gift, might I suggest my book? bit.ly/3OUAOsa

ICYMI! (Yes, I am going to obnoxiously promote this in my feed for a while.)
I profiled the phenomenal Rosamund Pike about playing the #NowYouSeeMe franchise's newest villain, why she's still grieving the end of #TheWheelOfTime, and the roles she's gravitating towards next — although she'll always be interested in more provocative characters:
From Bond Girl to Diamond Queen, Rosamund Pike Still Wants To Provoke You
Rosamund Pike discusses her journey from Bond girl to versatile leading lady, her return to the stage, and saying goodbye to The Wheel of Time.

Over the years, we have accumulated many, many weird items on this show. Wax presidents, Russell Crowe’s jock strap, even a Bob Ross painting. Now, you can own them. Visit johnoliversjunk.com to bid on items that will help us raise money for The Public Media Bridge Fund!

Still mostly reeling from Hamnet, but I'll say this for now: despite Paul Mescal playing the bigger historical figure in this story, the movie's heart and soul entirely belongs to Jessie Buckley's Agnes. Chloé Zhao continues to know exactly how to wield quiet moments for maximum devastating effect.

This is awful for Paste, awful for my friends, awful for the industry as a whole. (Someone hire Lacy!!!)
Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

In addition to the joy of writing for Paste Books, getting to write for Lacy was a professional highlight. The fact that one more place for books/TV/film coverage is shuttering is both maddening and disheartening.

One of the best shows in forever—achingly sad, hugely entertaining, and really REALLY thoughtful about important things like … the value of humanity. Really! And I gave away as little as I possibly could—almost nothing that’s not in the very opaque trailer.
In 'Pluribus,' isolation is the price of a frictionless life
The haunting new show from Vince Gilligan, who created Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is set in Gilligan's now-signature location, Albuquerque.
