According to a report in Variety, pioneering experimental queer filmmaker Kenneth Anger, the director of seminal shorts like "Fireworks," "Rabbit's Moon," "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome," and "Scorpio Rising," has died at the age of 96.
The news was announced on Anger's website by Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers, the managers of Anger's art galleries. He had passed away on May 11, 2023, and the news was only just announced today.
Anger was a firebrand, an artistic rebel who aggressively and provocatively eschewed convention to present the world a new, cohesive type of underground, ultra-queer aesthetic that informs media and culture to this day. His shorts "Fireworks" and "Scorpio Rising" in particular blended traditionally ultra-masculine imagery -- Naval officers, leather-clad bikers -- with unapologetic gay lust, revealing the desire that exists so naturally in those worlds. Anger also blended images of queerness with religious iconography, tearing down conventional Christian morality, and introducing...

Throughout the first episodes of “Yellowjackets” Season 2, the thriller’s younger cast members are emerging as series MVPs. Increasingly harsh living conditions and emotional fallout from Jackie’s (Ella Purnell) death have provided them with the show’s most complex and devastating material yet. Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Courtney Eaton and Sophie Thatcher’s standout performances deserve as much Emmy consideration as those of their adult counterparts.
As Shauna, seven months pregnant and grieving her best friend under less-than-ideal circumstances, Nélisse is giving a darker, more psychologically challenging performance than she had in Season 1. Clayton Davis reported in Variety that, despite having been campaigned alongside her ‘96-timeline co-stars as a supporting actor for the show’s maiden Emmy bid, Nélisse will this time around compete for a lead slot. The shift doesn’t come as a surprise, given how many Season 2 write-ups have singled out the rising star. While...

As “Yellowjackets” only gets more gruesome in Season 2, will the family members and loved ones of the cast bail on the hit series? TheWrap spoke to the ensemble about who families are still watching, who half-watches while covering their eyes and who’s throughly addicted.
“My sister already stopped watching the first season,” said Christina Ricci, who plays the unhinged Misty as an adult. “She was like, ‘My anxiety! I can’t take it!’ She felt a lot of anxiety watching the show, and I told her that was Ok and she didn’t have to put herself through that. Meanwhile, my 8-year-old is obsessed, but I don’t let him watch the bad parts.”
Since the show goes full tilt into cannibalism this season, that doesn’t leave much for him to watch.
“I have a lot of friends who have a hard time watching it,” said Sophie Nélisse,...

J.K. Rowling says that when it comes to the backlash she’s received around her Harry Potter books and her personal stances on the rights and identities of trans people, criticism from her “allies” hit differently than conservatives claiming she was promoting witchcraft.
“If it’s coming from people that you would, well, you would have thought were allies? Yes, that’s absolutely going to hit differently, but I don’t hold myself —” Rowling said before The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling host Megan Phelps-Roper cut her off in the podcast’s latest episode. “I would assume we share certain values. So yeah, that hits differently. Of course, it hits differently.”
Rowling initially addressed the Christian conservative backlash to her books in the U.S. in the podcast’s second episode, which was released Feb. 21. During that hourlong discussion, she explained her view on good and evil through her...

We’re all good people, but we’re full of shit. Or, as the characters in King Knight say, we all have “poo in our butts”. We’re all imperfect human beings, some more malicious than others, and it’s the outsider who receives the brunt of that malice. Writer-director Richard Bates Jr. looks at the outsider with a dark sense of humor and with a farcical approach, creating one of the best comedies of the year. While looking at religion, conservatives, and society in general, King Knight aims to present Wicca in a positive light. It succeeds, leading to a journey of acceptance and rebirth.

Patricia Kennealy-Morrison, a rock music critic and author whose betrothal to Jim Morrison in an ancient Celtic ceremony was depicted in Oliver Stone’s 1991 biopic The Doors, died July 23. She was 75.
Her death was announced on Facebook by her publishing house Lizard Queen Press. A cause and place of death was not specified.
“To say we are all reeling from the news is an understatement,” the publishing company notes. “We will miss our friend very very much. She was a beautiful soul, a talented writer, and a loving and wonderful friend.”
Portrayed in Stone’s film by Kathleen Quinlan, Kennealy-Morrison accepted a small role in the movie as the “Wicca Priestess” who conducts the 1970 handfasting ceremony in which she and Morrison exchanged vows. Kennealy-Morrison later lambasted the movie, writing her 1992 book Strange Days: My Life With and Without Jim Morrison as a corrective. For starters, she objected to the title of the character she played,...
