I 25 film da vedere nell'estate 2025

1 week ago | vanityfair.it | Chris Murphy |Hillary Busis |Savannah Walsh |Jeff Giles

Sono passati quasi due anni da quando il fenomeno «Barbenheimer» ha riportato in auge i film estivi, e gli incassi non hanno ancora raggiunto le stesse vette. Ma le cose potrebbero cambiare nell’estate del 2025, quando i multisala si riempiranno di aspiranti blockbuster che promettono nuove versioni di vecchi film (e forse anche di alcuni film che finiranno nella nostra lista dei migliori film del 2025).
Sean Ono Lennon: “Me preocupa que la gente se olvide de John Lennon, porque no creo que la sociedad deba, o pueda permitirse, olvidarse de personas como mi padre o mi madre”

En los casi 45 años transcurridos desde que John Lennon fue asesinado a las puertas del Dakota, ha seguido siendo tanto una leyenda como un hombre, gracias en cierto modo a la gestión de su patrimonio por parte de Yoko Ono y Sean Ono Lennon. (Voy a esperar un momento a que los haters que nunca se callan abandonen la sala). El nuevo documental de Kevin Macdonald, One to One, es una cautivadora adición al canon, que incluye temas de conciertos producidos por el propio Sean.

In the nearly 45 years since John Lennon was killed outside The Dakota, he’s remained both a legend and a man—thanks in no small part to Yoko Ono and Sean Ono Lennon’s stewardship of his estate. (I’m going to wait a second for the haters who never shut up to leave the room.) Kevin Macdonald’s new documentary, One to One, is a captivating addition to the canon, with concert tracks produced by Sean himself.

NowPlus, we cover the arrival of Trump’s tariffs. This week, the Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump to deport planeloads of Venezuelan migrants. Trump called the ruling a victory, but it came with a catch: The administration’s rationale can still be challenged, and it must ensure that would-be …

Dec 11, 2024 | vanityfair.com | Richard Lawson |David Canfield |Rebecca Ford |Chris Murphy |Savannah Walsh |Jeff Giles | +3 more

Several of the best movies of 2025 may still be complete unknowns. They could be titles that will be acquired at Sundance, Cannes, and Venice—or under-the-radar gems that will derive their power from unpredictable word of mouth. But several of the biggest movies of the year will definitely be found on this list, which focuses on studio films either dated for 2025 or scheduled to appear at some yet-to-be-disclosed point in the next 12 months.
Reckoning

Nov 6, 2024 | jefitoblog.com | Jeff Giles

I wasn't going to write anything today. A lot of pundits have already weighed in on the horror that unfolded last night, and a lot of people have already spent a lot of time reading those words, and it's been decades since I had the type of discipline and/or focus required to offer a meaningful analysis â€” or even the type of comprehensive pep talk you'd want to print out and stick to your fridge. And like most of you, I imagine, I'm still processing all this. Reeling, frankly.

Today's the day! Get out and do the thing! Perform your civic duty! Unless you've already cast your ballot, in which case you have a head start on all the sitting around and anxiously waiting that takes up the rest of an Election Day.

The One After the One-Hit Wonder, Part 2

Sep 12, 2024 | jefitoblog.com | Jeff Giles

Very few recording artists are ever lucky enough to land a hit single on the Hot 100 — and fewer still have managed to pull it off more than once. They're often the target of derision, but there's really no shame in being a one-hit wonder; with that in mind, here's another round of looking back at follow-up singles that ended an act's chart streak before it really even had a chance to get started.

Blindspotting: Jethro Tull, "Aqualung"

Sep 2, 2024 | jefitoblog.com | Jeff Giles

The Legacy: For people roughly my age and younger, Jethro Tull are probably mostly remembered as the band that won the first-ever Hard Rock/Metal Grammy in 1989 — an award that seemingly everyone on the planet was expecting to go to Metallica for ...And Justice for All, but instead was handed to an aging crew of British prog stalwarts as one among seemingly endless examples of Grammy Awards being treated as belated thank-yous for much older and much more impactful work.
