Super 8 cameras are a great collectors’ item, and a perfect gift for cinephiles or anyone who wants to add a vintage aesthetic to their film collection.

From coffee to spices, jewelry, and vintage pieces, we’re highlighting some of the Black-owned business that you can support on Juneteenth and beyond. If you’re not educated about Juneteenth, the holiday commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved Black Americans in Texas, were finally told that slavery had been abolished (more than two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation). Black communities have been celebrating Juneteenth for generations, but it officially became a national holiday earlier this week....

“It’s kind of crazy to see how much has been reported on this,” McKay told The Hollywood Reporter about the reaction to his Vanity Fair profile. “We made ‘Don’t Look Up’ to hopefully get people talking about the climate crisis — literally the biggest threat to life in human history — and to see so much made about two comedy guys not talking about a TV show is a scary sign of our times....

The coming-of-age comedy explores the life of teenager Rainbow Gold (Victoria Gabrielle Platt), who is entering womanhood and navigating conversations and experiences around standards of beauty, self-image, and the rights Black women have over their bodies. Rainbow attends a strict parochial school, where she studies dance, and is just starting to become aware of boys. Meanwhile, she lives with her strait-laced mother Alma (Kim Weston-Moran), who runs a hair salon in the parlor of their home....

The call included elevated participation from the “Apes” — AMC’s fervent and so-called meme shareholders who propelled the stock’s nearly 1,500 percent rise in 2021. (Wall Street wasn’t particularly impressed, with stocks falling over 6 percent to close at $31.75 August 10.) The optimistic Aron knew better than to declare victory: “AMC’s journey through this pandemic is not finished, and we are not yet out of the woods,” he said in a statement....

Supplying Tuesday’s opening-night glamour to the tapis rouge were Jessica Chastain, returning to the Croisette 10 years after “Tree of Life”; French-speaker Jodie Foster, sheathed in white with her wife on her arm, who graciously accepted a Palme d’Or life achievement award 45 years after the Cannes debut of “Taxi Driver”; and “Parasite” Palme d’Or and Oscar-winner winner Bong Joon Ho, who said, “Seeing you all here, I have the impression there hasn’t been a break; maybe the festival had a break, but cinema never stopped....

The first is a 2022 documentary Emmy contender, while the second has given three Oscar winners a second shot at a gold statue. Almost as a reward for taking on the role of a wildly gifted comedienne, Nicole Kidman also scored a Golden Globe Drama win, as well as Critics Choice and SAG nominations, while Javier Bardem also landed Globe and SAG nominations, and. J.K. Simmons, as the fraught supporting figure of William Frawley (“I Love Lucy”), was a surprise Oscar mention....

One might think that such a role would be a tough sell for the famously wholesome actor. But according to Baz Luhrmann, Hanks was eager to take on the challenge. Speaking at RTS London (via Deadline), Luhrmann revealed that he approached Hanks about the role before the script for “Elvis” was even written and had little difficulty convincing him to join the cast. “I sat down with him having not even written a script yet and he said, ‘Well if you want me I’m your guy,’” Luhrmann said....

On one hand, this jagged sketch of three young people intersecting in a Georgia suburb is so upsetting because it recognizes mass shootings as a fait accompli of life in the NRA’s United States; as a phenomenon that follows god-awful gun laws and online radicalization with the same meteorological certainty that thunder follows lightning. We see it coming before any of Madden’s characters do, and his film would be held together by our own nauseated helplessness even if it weren’t so percussive, well-acted, and perversely fun to watch....

In one scene, James Bond (Daniel Craig) shows up to Q’s apartment, and Q is setting the table for a romantic dinner for two. While his guest has not arrived yet, Q mentions that his date is a man.
