The most infamously cringe Michael Scott moment, though, proved to be the Season 6, Episode 12, titled “Scott’s Tots,” where Michael tries to dodge the fact that he promised a group of 15 students he would pay for their college tuition through the fictional Michael Scott Foundation if they graduated high school. “Hey, Mr. Scott, whatcha going to do? Make our dreams come true!” the students iconically sing to the tune of “Bad Boys” once Michael shows up in their classroom....

“The Unforgivable” could have been a beat-for-beat remake of the original without any significant difference to its budget or distribution, and yet the final product often feels like watching someone try to squeeze “Crime and Punishment” into the length of an Instagram story. Which isn’t to say that Fingschedit — a German filmmaker looking to capitalize on her volatile 2019 debut “System Crasher” — shouldn’t be commended for taking the road less traveled, even if the shortcut that screenwriters Peter Craig, Courtenay Miles, and Hillary Seitz have mapped out for her ultimately leads nowhere fast....

Melissa McCarthy as lovable loser Lydia (AKA The Hammer) and Octavia Spencer as her super-smart former BFF Emily (AKA Bingo) are only on their first mission when they meet The Crab, and their do-gooding is soon upended by the career criminals they’re intent on stopping. And then, suddenly, weirdly, Lydia and The Crab connect, kicking off a dream sequence in which these two outsiders dance and twirl and spin to the dulcet tones of Glenn Frey’s “You Belong to the City....

Stars Kyle MacLachlan and Timothée Chalamet, who each played lead character Paul Atreides in two iterations of big-screen “Dune” adaptations, posed together at a 2022 Oscars after-party. “The two Pauls crossed paths last night,” MacLachlan tweeted. “Nice to see you again @RealChalamet and congratulations @DuneMovie on your #Oscars success!” See below. MacLachlan starred in David Lynch’s original “Dune” 1984 film; Chalamet took over the same role for Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 adaptation, which has already spurred a sequel slated for an October 23, 2023, release....

Cruise’s three Golden Globe wins came for “Jerry Maguire” (Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical), “Magnolia” (Best Supporting Actor), and “Born on the Fourth of July” (Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama). The actor boasts four additional Golden Globe nominations for “The Last Samurai” (Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama), “Tropic Thunder” (Best Supporting Actor), “A Few Good Men” (Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama), and “Risky Business” (Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical)....

“I will say, Tony was part of one of the greatest casts of all time,” Chase said. “It was certainly the greatest cast I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with some incredible casts. But he was the only one who ever asked me to have a line changed. And I did it.” It turns out that Sirico wasn’t concerned with any of his own dialogue, but was worried about the way someone else described his character....

“This is confirmation of so much that everyone has said for years now — things that a lot of us thought were hyperbolic,” the source said. “We’d say, ‘Trump’s not a fascist,’ or ‘He’s not a wannabe dictator.’ Now, it’s like, ‘Well, what do you even say in response to that now?’” The source also put the presidency in a context that many Netflix subscribers could understand. “This is like a plot straight out of the later, sucky seasons of House of Cards where they just go full evil and say, ‘Let’s spark mass protests and start wars and whatever,’” the senior official said, referring to Beau Willimon’s politically charged series about a Machiavellian politician that lasted six seasons....

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), meanwhile, was a positive $1.66 billion. The real problem, and the reason stock dropped 12 percent in after-hours trading, is how badly Warner Bros. Discovery whiffed on media analysts’ consensus. Wall Street forecast a Q2 loss per share of 3 cents on $11.84 billion in revenue. Warner Bros. Discovery reported a loss of $1.50 per share on revenue of $9.8 billion....

“There’s no doubt that it was bumpy back in early December of last year,” he said, adding that if he could do it over again, he’d likely give more of an advance warning to members of Hollywood before dropping the bomb. “If I had the chance to do it over again, I think it’s very fair to say that we would have taken a couple more days to see if we could have had even more conversations than we were able to have....

If you’re cord cutter who doesn’t have cable, you can watch IFC live with one of these streaming services, many of which offer a free trial: Philo, fuboTV, Sling TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV, and the IFC app. Last year’s Spirit Awards were dominated by “Uncut Gems,” which won the prizes for Best Actor (Adam Sandler), Best Director (Josh and Benny Safdie), and Best Editing. Lulu Wang’s “The Farewell” took home the honor for Best Feature....

Where to Watch “Watch the Sound”: Apple TV+ Most music docs are, by their nature, lodged in the past. If people aren’t being shown a moment gone by, they’re talking about it or disputing it or presenting an alternative version. So when “Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson” takes the opportunity to use the past as a bridge to creating something new in the present, you can feel the overall temperature of the project change....

Chloe Okuno could have struck gold when production of “Watcher” was relocated from New York to Bucharest, Romania. The Eastern European city’s mix of bleak, brutalist architecture and baroque government buildings only add to the isolation that the film’s protagonist, Julia (Maika Monroe), feels as she tags along when her half-Romanian husband is transferred there for work. Add to that a stark language barrier and a neighbor who may or may not be spying on her from across the street, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a taut paranoid thriller....

A variety of television production companies are beginning to get back to work, and fans of the small screen who are stuck at home or otherwise pining for new content finally have reason to be excited. A considerable number of noteworthy shows have already begun or are planning to soon resume production after the monthslong delay. IndieWire is keeping tabs on the television shows that are beginning to resume production, which are listed below:...

That hasn’t been fully answered as of Episode 3, “Destined,” but the latest installment introduces the Clandestines, and they’re here to make life a lot harder for Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani). Viewers last saw Kamala (as “Night Light,” a moniker she instantly regrets) saving a child who fell from great height during the local Eid celebration. As she ran from drones and cars full of Damage Control agents, she’s rescued by Kamran (Rish Shah) and his mother Najma (Nimra Bucha)....

“They didn’t want to spend that kind of money on a zombie movie,” Snyder recently told Entertainment Weekly, “or just didn’t take it that seriously. I was always like, ‘Look guys, this is more than [just a zombie movie],’ but it fizzled out.” After making his feature directorial debut with Universal’s 2004 “Dawn of the Dead” remake, Snyder jumped to Warner Bros. in 2006 with “300” and stayed there for follow-up projects “Watchmen,” “Legend of the Guardians,” “Sucker Punch,” “Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman,” and “Justice League....

“I just think that’s sour grapes. There’s really no other way to say it,” Snyder said about his fans being labeled “toxic.” “We know the people who were the architects of that narrative, and it’s pretty obvious what their agenda is. Those are people that I’ve been held back from confronting, by wiser people in the room. Because I’d love to get at some of these characters. Some direct conversation would be nice....

The three-part series tells the story of the couple’s highly publicized 1963 divorce proceedings. Known for her charisma, beauty, and style, Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, dominated newspapers as the divorce exposed accusations of forgery, theft, violence, drug-use, and bribery. In his effort to besmirch her name, the Duke released a list of her conquests that included government ministers and members of the British royal family, as well as a compromising Polaroid photo that would haunt her for the rest of her life....

Former “The View” co-host Meghan McCain wrote in her Daily Mail column that HBO Max’s “Sex and the City” revival series, “And Just Like That,” missed the mark when catering to original fans. “For a start, so much of the original show, while groundbreaking at the time, hasn’t aged well in the way that many other shows of that era have,” McCain wrote. “So many of the promises of ‘Sex and the City’ turned out to be completely fictional and lacking any relation to reality…As I have gotten older, I have cringed at the messaging to so many young women and wished for more realism and nuance when it came to intimacy and relationships with men....

“Another Round” wastes no time confronting the danger and allure of alcohol as a singular contradiction: It begins with the joyful beer-swigging exploits of energetic teens, followed by an abrupt cut to black, and a jarring silence pierced by the lonely slosh of a single beverage. From there, Thomas Vinterberg’s absorbing dark comedy turns into a lively and fascinating referendum on booze, with Mads Mikkelsen’s fierce and unsettling performance vibrating at its center....

PBS’ version opens with three Englishmen of obvious privilege in conversation around a table in a members-only men’s club, wagering whether the pre-passenger-flight-era feat of human ambition and technological marvel implied in the title is achievable. It’s not Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and the new space race, but can you spy the subtle parallels? It’s England in the late-1800s, and the three men are Bernard Fortescue (Jason Watkins), Nyle Bellamy (Peter Sullivan), and Phileas Fogg (David Tennant), the story’s main protagonist, who makes a wager of £20,000 ($3 million today) that he can circumnavigate the world in 80 days or less....
