Jessica bounced lightly on the balls of her feet as she stood outside the movie hall, barely able to contain her excitement. The unmistakable buttery scent of popcorn drifted in the waiting area, prompting more than one person to buy the snack. Even Jessica couldn’t help herself and had bought a large tub along with a big glass of Coke. “Who would’ve thought this film would draw such a crowd?” her best friend Annie said, glancing around at the sea of people waiting beside them.

- “If there’s one thing I hope you take away from today’s lesson, it’s that there are no painless solutions in this world, only trade-offs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either campaigning for elections… or hasn’t done the assigned reading, as you’re about to do this weekend.” I couldn’t stop the amused snort that escaped me, and half the students were in the same boat. It helped that our professor was one of the coolest on campus. “See you all next week.” Everyone seemed…

- “Noah, sit on the hood of the car and give me that high-fashion look, like all this doesn’t matter to you at all.” I slid onto the hood of the Porsche 911 and got comfortable. Thanks to years of modelling, this felt right in my comfort zone. I looked toward the camera, but slightly to the left, to make it seem like I was indifferent to its presence. “Perfect!” the man shouted excitedly as he continued taking photos of me in the same position from different angles. I had already shot…

I stood on the Venice Film Festival red carpet with Evan and Jonathan to my right and Elizabeth Olsen immediately to my left. Matthew McConaughey stood beside her, with the rest of the principal cast of beyond him. I offered my red carpet smile to the cameras while resting my arm against Elizabeth's back. She didn't seem to mind the contact one bit, so I left my hand where it was as dozens of photographers snapped hundreds of photos every second. “This is beyond anything I'd ever imagined,”…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- ~I met you in the dark, you lit me up You made me feel as though I was enough We danced the night away, we laughed too much I held on to your waist when They were staring you up.

- The New York Times A Rising Star's Privacy Meets Television's Appetite Last night's appearance by actor Noah Hunter on became less an interview than an unexpected confrontation. Shown censored photographs reportedly taken without his knowledge on a Greek beach, Hunter responded not with theatrics but with visible anger.

- What the absolute motherfucking fuck! I am so screwed. My career is over. I may as well pack my bags and leave mainland USA. Maybe Europe would be more accepting of me? Or maybe Canada? Australia? Thoughts like that kept running through my head because I didn't know what to do in this situation. Never in a thousand years had I imagined I'd be caught in the middle of a sex scandal and forced to deal with it on live television. “Noah?” Johnny Carson called after a moment. “Would you like a glass…

- Chicago Sun-Times — Review by Roger Ebert is a surprising entry into the growing slasher genre, one that demonstrates far more craft than its lurid premise might suggest. While clearly inspired by the success of , the film distinguishes itself through confident direction and an unexpectedly effective narrative misdirection. The film’s greatest strength lies in its manipulation of audience expectations. By positioning one character as a likely suspect, only to subvert that assumption in a…

- Gene Siskel didn’t have high expectations when he received an invitation to the premiere of . The reason was simple: had been such a big hit two years ago that copies were bound to follow. This happens with every film that becomes a major success, whether it’s comedy, romance, tragedy, sci-fi, or even horror. Slasher horror, especially, makes copying easier because it can be made cheaply and quickly. If is a hit, more copies and inspirations of the movie will permeate Hollywood. “What do you…

- “Congratulations on the success of , Noah.” “Thank you, David,” I said, nodding gratefully at him. It felt strange to be meeting David Letterman during his first year hosting a talk show on NBC. The 1980s were a very different time for talk shows compared to what I remembered from the 2020s. The ruler of the industry was undoubtedly Johnny Carson, whom I badly wanted to interview with. Unfortunately, Carson wasn’t interested. I wasn’t big enough for his time. Something similar happened…
