Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has released a preview for the “Gone Girl” soundtrack two weeks before the movie hits theaters, and it’s fittingly eerie.

Boardwalk Empire Recap: What You Won’t Do for Love?
19 minutes ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
There were a couple of moments of Scripture-quoting on this week’s Boardwalk Empire installment, aptly titled “What Jesus Said.” The ep’s title comes from Fern, the young girl who, along with her mom, was held captive in their home by an on-the-run Chalky and Buck, who was convinced there was a safe in the house back when he schlepped blocks of ice for parties. Fern reminded Chalky that Jesus said there’s forgiveness for everyone. He doesn’t want to hear this (“Baby girl, Jesus was wrong,” Chalky tells her), since Chalky practically got his daughter killed in last season’s finale.And, then, there was young Nucky, who received a Bible quote from the girl who would later become his first, dearly departed wife on the beach. “Enoch walked with God, and he was no more,” she told him, before they went back and forth on what it meant. »

The Trouble With Klinghoffer Isn't Quite What You Think
1 hour ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Will an opera about terrorists ever not be timely? Can The Death of Klinghoffer ever stop incandescing? John Adams’s work had its premiere in 1991, when the events it was based on—the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and the murder of an American passenger, Leon Klinghoffer—were still raw memories. In the years that followed, occasional new productions and weekly bursts of lethal fanaticism kept reactivating the arguments about the opera. Now that it’s finally coming to the Metropolitan Opera, Palestinian hijackers seem almost to belong to another era, before 9/11, before Iraq and Afghanistan, before anti-Jewish riots in Paris, before drone strikes, Iron Dome, and YouTube beheadings. Through all of that, Klinghoffer hasn’t lost its sting. “This anti-Semitic opera viciously falsifies history to malign and incite hatred against Israel and the Jewish people,” the Zionist Organization of America recently declared. “The opera is a disgrace »

The Age of the Streaming TV Auteur
1 hour ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
There’s a memorable story in Peter Biskind’s Down and Dirty Pictures, a great history of the 1990s indie-film boom, in which an upstart production company, eager to establish its bona fides, promises an absurd amount of money and unheard-of creative control to an in-demand filmmaker with a suddenly hot property to sell. The year is 1989, the company is Miramax, the filmmaker is a then-26-year-old Steven Soderbergh, the property is sex, lies & videotape, and the result was a renaissance. In the ’90s, startling, innovative, and personal films—by directors like Quentin Tarantino, Hal Hartley, Allison Anders, and Whit Stillman—flourished, buoyed by a new marketplace, and a hungry audience, that happily rewarded daring and creativity.Twenty-five years after sex, lies & videotape, it’s hard not to think of a similar scenario that played out much more recently but on a very different screen: Netflix buying the rights to »

Film Review: ‘Song of the Sea’
1 hour ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
In a worthy follow-up to “The Secret of Kells” (a surprise nominee for the 2010 animated feature Oscar), Moore applies his dazzling hand-drawn style to another tale inspired by Irish legend, only this time, he spins the magic-infused yarn against a present-day backdrop while digging farther back into pre-Pictish rock drawings for visual references. Indie distrib GKids came aboard early, backing this Cartoon Saloon production, a limited-release treasure whose long-term library value similarly hinges on high-profile awards attention.
Whereas American toons tend to be driven predominantly by plot and character, Moore’s work delivers on various other levels, asking formula-fed animation auds to open their minds to a more poetic experience. That said, the pic’s emotional core isn’t so different from that of a studio-made heart-tugger like “Brave.” Here, the story is centered on a lost mother figure — a half-human, half-seal creature known as a “Selkie” — who disappears into the waves one night, »

South Park has yet to find a hot-button issue that it didn't manage to weigh in on, so perhaps it's no big surprise that the show's latest promo takes on the Washington Redskins name debate. In the Comedy Central series' season-18 promo, animated versions of Redskins owner Dan Snyder and recent Hollywood Reporter cover subject Robert Griffin III plead with Eric Cartman to stop using the team's name for his business. What exactly that business does is not quite clear. The animated Snyder doesn't appreciate the situation and says he feels like a "joke." In

Film Review: ‘Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere’
2 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
A gauchely translated English title does little justice to the refined sensuality and sly strangeness of “Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere,” an immediately distinctive feature-length debut for Vietnamese femme helmer Diep Hoang Nguyen. Though it’s steeped in a rich, particular cultural and spiritual milieu, there’s a universal feminist resonance to this story of a pregnant teen whose plans for an abortion are repeatedly obstructed by financial and romantic complications. Diep’s unique take on a girl-in-trouble narrative made a strong critical impression at Venice and should continue to spread its wings on the international festival circuit. That mealy mouthful of a title, however, may be an apt description of its commercial prospects.
Leading Vietnamese auteur Tran Anh Hung is credited as a “special consultant” on “Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere,” and it’s not hard to imagine his own 1993 debut, “The Scent of Green Papaya,” as a formative influence on Diep. »

The 2014 iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas brought out some of the biggest names in pop music, and with them came some wild fashions and performances. Taylor Swift rocked a pretty-in-pink two-piece outfit for her performance, though the artist didn't reveal any other new details or songs from her forthcoming new album "1989." Ariana Grande might be celebrating Halloween a little early, as she donned little black cat ears with her all-black getup at the MGM Grand Garden Arena event in Las Vegas. She and Nicki Minaj took the stage together to perform certifiable hit "Bang Bang." Iggy Azalea looked a little go-go, Coldplay was casual, 5 Seconds Of Summer and One Direction smiled through the (fan) screaming... check out more photos from the weekend event below. »
