Our team at @latimes.com is producing some killer work. Here's a taste of recent features (🧵) @emilyzemler.bsky.social sat down with Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal in London, going deep into Chloé Zhao's process for HAMNET. You'll want to go pubbing with them: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
For Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, making 'Hamnet' was 'something bigger than the moon'
Their film wrecks audiences with its exploration of romantic intimacy, grief and the inner lives of artists. Working with director Chloé Zhao — and each other — changed them forever.

I got an inside look at the new 'Hunger Games' play, which opens in London this week, for @latimes.com
Why 'The Hunger Games' feels more urgent (and brutal) on stage
'The Hunger Games: On Stage' debuts Wednesday at a custom-built London theater designed as an interactive arena with moving seats and immersive effects, which amplify the novel's brutal themes.

I had an absolutely delightful conversation with Ethan Hawke about The Lowdown, Blue Moon and Black Phone 2 for @latimes.com.
Some in Hollywood once found it 'irritating.' But Ethan Hawke refuses to be typecast
As a young actor, Hawke's desire for varied roles caused friction. This fall, his love of 'shaking it up' has paid off in major roles in 'The Lowdown,' 'Blue Moon' and 'Black Phone 2.'

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

Enjoying international cuisines makes people more tolerant, UK study finds
Frequent and varied eating found to reduce likelihood of perceiving immigrants as ‘cultural or economic threats’
Whether it is the kedgeree of the British Raj, the Victorian “penny lick” ice-creams of Manchester’s Little Italy, or the battered fish brought to the UK by Sephardic Jews, international influences on the country’s food are longstanding, diverse and many.
Now, research has revealed that eating international food does not merely spice up the diet – but makes people more tolerant. Continue reading...

A PR asked me to share “large pockets of time” that I am available tomorrow and it was one of the wildest things anyone has ever said to me. I don’t even have one small pocket of time.
