Under the K Bridge, Brooklyn, New YorkOn the year’s hottest day, the band of the moment celebrated their new album with a buoyant live show featuring a surprise special guestIt’s only fitting that “Turnstile summer” – coined by Charli xcx herself – would kick off on Brooklyn’s hottest day yet.

Following their 2021 album Glow On, where frontman Brendan Yates traded in some screaming for singing over a blend of heavy riffs, soul and even dream pop, Turnstile has picked up three Grammy nominations, opened for Blink-182, received the aforementioned Charli xcx shoutout at Coachella and, this past week, found themselves on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show to promote Never Enough.

7 h. ago Mark Hamill has finally ruled out a return as Luke Skywalker. Can Star Wars survive without him?

The franchise’s last remaining connection to the original trilogy has appeared in a number of recent spinoffs. What’s next, now the 73-year-old actor says he has hung up his lightsaber for good?Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker has been Star Wars’ ultimate backup plan for at least half a decade. The original trilogy has faded into the distance, and the movies set in that galaxy far, far away have become so poor in recent years that we’d all rather watch Andor. But there was always the option of plugging in Hamill – a sort of human Star Wars USB stick, primed to conjure up 1970s vibes as required. Not quite getting your fill of Force nostalgia? Here’s Luke tutoring Baby Yoda in The Book of Boba Fett. And here he is again, whinging about past mistakes in The Last Jedi. It may not quite have been Binary Sunset, or Yoda lifting the X-wing on Dagobah. But for a few shimmering, quite-possibly-digitally-retouched moments, it felt like we were back in the real Star Wars again.Back in 2023, I wro...

8 h. ago ‘Allegory for the times we live in’: De Niro and Scorsese reunite for Casino at 30

Director and star of the Vegas-set mafia drama spoke to an audience as part of this year’s Tribeca film festival, looking back at their 1995 hit and its timeless themesFor this year’s Tribeca film festival, the annual New York salute to moviemaking featured a special screening of Casino, the Martin Scorsese-directed drama starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone, timed to its 30th anniversary. But even though the splashy epic premiered in this same city back in November 1995, its themes of power, money, greed and ego are echoing in the modern ethos louder than ever.“You can go back to the ancient Greek tragedies,” said Scorsese, speaking alongside De Niro and moderated by standup comedian W Kamau Bell on stage at the Beacon Theater before the screening. “It’s a basic story of hubris and pride, with the pride taking us all down.” Continue reading...
