Samuel L. Jackson teamed up with Ryan Reynolds on the 2017 movie The Hitman’s Bodyguard. During one critical scene in the film, Reynolds might’ve adlibbed a line that called out Jackson for his signature catchphrase.

Very few actors curse in their films like Jackson. The star’s signature catchphrase in his features, “Motherf***er,” has become just as famous as he is. But it’s a reputation the Star Wars star has great pride in. And it seems Reynolds ended up poking fun at Jackson for his constant swearing in Hitman’s Bodyguard. There’s a line in the thriller where Reynolds’ character accuses Jackson of ruining the word motherf***er. Jackson was uncertain that this piece of dialogue was in the script.
“I’m not sure. But it probably was. It does sound like an adlib.

The British judge and producer pressed the button for aerialists Sebastian and Sonia after being incredibly moved by the fact that 30-year-old Sonia fractured her arm during rehearsals, so 24-year-old Sebastian ended up performing the routine all by himself. “That is the definition of courage.

How does one even begin to define the 2000s in Hindi cinema? The decade that started with “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai!” and ended with “3 Idiots?” The decade that gave us Bipasha Basu and Rakhi Sawant and took away Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai? The decade of “Tere Bina” but also of “No Entry?” Cinema contains multitudes, but the aughts in Bollywood were a multiverse, and nowhere is that clearer than in the best musical numbers of the decade.
Curating this list was not easy — just ask the editors who waited patiently for a draft that I was not able to produce because I was busy swapping out “Kal Ho Naa Ho” songs until the last possible second. Some basic guidelines: This is a list of musical numbers, Not songs — the song obviously matters,...

Playwright Christopher Durang died earlier this week from complications of primary progressive aphasia.
A Tony Award-winner for his 2012 play Vanya and Sonia and Mash and Spike, his work on and off-broadway spanned decades, and included several collaborations with the actress Sigourney Weaver.
He also played a little-known part in Saturday Night Live history.
It was his friendship with Weaver that brought Durang to Saturday Night Live on October 11th, 1986 for the show’s first episode of its 12th season (an episode that also saw the debut of Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman).
Weaver hosted that night, and she introduced Durang to the audience in her opening monologue before two participated in a somewhat stilted gag about Lorne Michaels convincing Weaver to appear on the show out of his love for Bertolt Brecht.
Durang appeared again minutes later in the debut installment of Church Chat, where he earned the distinction of...

‘AHS: Delicate’ struggles to practice what it “Preech”-es as generations of Satanic conspiracies bring the audience back to start.

American Horror Story is no stranger to more intimate seasons that largely rest on the shoulders of one or two characters. This approach can be successful, but this horror anthology series usually feels the most effortless when it operates like a proper ensemble piece. AHS: Delicate has focused almost entirely on Emma Roberts’ Anna Victoria Alcott and the ticking time bomb that gestates inside of her. It’s proven to be a mixed bag of an approach that becomes even more questionable in “Preech,” Part One’s “finale,” which emphasizes that Anna is not in fact special. She’s merely the latest trend in Satanic subjugation as dark forces give their master plan another go. It’s a turn that...
