This woman is such a catch. I assume all the gentlemen in greater Indiana are drowning in pools of their own tears, Alice in Wonderland–style, at the thought of this gem being taken off the market.
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt in Passengers. The mega-budget sci-fi thriller romance Passengers, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, is shaping up to be one of the most critically razzed movies of the year, but I was on its side and then some until its bummer of an ending. Often filmmakers will box themselves into corners and find that there’s no way out except by breaking through a wall that they’ve erected themselves.
This week, we’re highlighting 24 talented writers and performers for Vulture’s annual list “Comedians You Should and Will Know.” Our goal is to introduce a wider audience to the talent that has the comedy community and industry buzzing. (You can read more about our methodology at the link above.) We asked the comedians on the list to answer a series of questions about their work, performing, goals for the future, and more.
Patti Smith poses for a portrait in November 1974 in Los Angeles. Patti Smith’s Horses, which turned 40 this week, is such a perfectly formed rock-and-roll artifact that it’s difficult to imagine that Patti didn’t just wake up like that, walk into Electric Lady Studios, and birth one of the most seminal records in music history. The reality is that it took her several years of exploration and experimentation before she reached that point.
It’s been a rough 18 months for comedian Patton Oswalt. His wife, crime writer Michelle McNamara, died unexpectedly last April, leaving him as a single father to their 7-year-old daughter, Alice. Oswalt talks at length about the experience in his first stand-up special following the loss, Annihilation, which debuts on Netflix on October 17. Ahead of its premiere, Vulture’s Matt Zoller Seitz interviewed Oswalt about losing a spouse, the complex relationship between grief and nostalgia, comedy in an age of “chaos,” and why he wasn’t surprised by the social-media reaction to his engagement to actress and legal mediator Meredith Salenger.
For actor Paul Bettany, all roads lead back to the one he trudges down in A Knight’s Tale. The argument holds water when you consider how his American studio-feature-film debut planted the seeds for a robust screen-acting career that has put the BAFTA-nominated performer toe-to-toe with Tom Hanks (The Da Vinci Code) and Russell Crowe (A Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World), had him co-leading prestigious small-screen and indie dramas (Discovery’s Manhunt: Unabomber, Margin Call), and launched him into some of today’s largest entertainment franchises with Solo: A Star Wars Story and, of course, 13 years voicing J.
Paul Haggis. At last night’s Cinema Society screening of Rush, we asked actress Margarita Levieva what she was reading these days. She dove right into an answer, telling us she’s in the middle of two books (Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann and City of Thieves by David Benioff). “I’m into the Russian culture a little bit, because I am Russian,” she started explaining. And then Paul Haggis walked up to us.
Aaaaand now you’re crying. Paul McCartney and Kanye West have been professionally linked for around four years, working together and with Rihanna, but it turns out their relationship actually stretches back a decade and has a touching origin story. McCartney tells GQ that the two were both attending the 2008 European MTV Awards in Liverpool when they broke the ice by getting deep in their feelings. McCartney recalls, “I’d just gone through my divorce [from Heather Mills], and I was kind of a little bit raw from it, and I said something to him about it, and he’d just broken up with someone [Alexis Phifer], and he just pulled out his phone and played this great little track—I don’t even remember what it’s called, but it’s one of his famous ones.
