A surprising feat given how many other HBO comedies have struggled to make a dent this decade. For those who were never fans, well, at least you’ll never be bombarded by tweets about it again online. Meanwhile, HBO’s other great comedy this decade, Veep, returns at a time when we desperately need some laughs about fictional politicians. As does The Leftovers, the series starring Justin Theroux and the abs that made Jennifer Aniston forget Brad Pitt that will be entering its third and final season. | | Fast Cars and Lost Explorers | | Anyone Who Isn’t a Fast and Furious Fan | Meanwhile, movie theaters this weekend are mostly concerned with The Fate of the Furious, the 8th movie in the improbably long-lasting car racing saga. What started as a franchise about illegal street racing has now morphed into a story about people who somehow fight crime or vague conspiracies with their fast cars. In the latest, the team divides against itself. More astoundingly, two actual Oscar winning actresses, Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren, make their series debuts. So, for the many, many people who love these movies, that’s certainly something. For those who don’t, well, there’s not many other options. Unless you happen to live in New York or Los Angeles. In that case, the well-received The Lost City of Z premieres. Based on the real life story of a 1920s British explorer who disappeared into the Amazon with his son, some reviewers are calling it the best film of 2017-so far. | | |  | | We’re sure Nicole Kidman is thankful to all the people who have taken it upon themselves to defend her career in the wake of Big Little Lies, but Nicole Kidman’s career speaks for itself, even if it speaks mostly in art house cinemas. Indeed, Kidman will be the unofficial queen of the Cannes Film Festival this year. She’ll have four separate projects screening at the festival. First is her team-up with Sofia Coppola in The Beguiled, then there’s The Killing of a Sacred Deer, alongside Colin Farrell. She also has a part in John Cameron Mitchell’s latest, How To Talk to Girls At Parties. Finally, and somewhat surprisingly, her next television series, Top of the Lake Season 2, will also screen. She’s pretty much doing everything during the festival, except for directing. Kristen Stewart, however, is. The actress’ directorial debut, Come Swim, will premiere at the French fest next month. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The album art for Harry Style’s first solo album is here, and it’s a big win for people who like Millennial pink and scrawny backs. | | | | | | | | | | Abigail Breslin, 21 (She’s Young Adult Ms. Sunshine Now) Josephine Skriver, 24 (Catwalk Slayer) Sarah Michelle Gellar, 40 (Vampire Slayer) Adrien Brody, 44 (Wes Anderson’s Latest Muse) Alex Lundqvist, 45 (‘90s Male Supermodel) | | | | | | | | |
