‘Move fast, break stuff’: how tech bros became Hollywood’s go-to baddie in 2025

-
From Stanley Tucci’s imperious tech titan to Lex Luthor’s distractingly hot CEO and Elon Musk-esque blowhards, films this year took us inside the billionaire mindset Between the slash-and-burn US government reboot led by a dank meme fan and the relentless pushing of AI by venture capital-backed blowhards, 2025 has felt like peak obnoxious tech bro. Fittingly, jargon-spouting, self-regarding digital visionaries also became Hollywood’s go-to baddies this year in everything from blockbusters to slapstick spoofs. Spare a thought for the overworked props departments tasked with mocking up fake Forbes magazine covers heralding yet another smirking white guy as “Master of the Metaverse” or whatever. With such market saturation, the risk is that all these delusional dudes blend into one smarmy morass. It felt reasonable to expect that Stanley Tucci might sprinkle a little prosciutto on The Electric State , Netflix’s no-expense-spared alt-history robot fantasia. As Ethan Skate – creator of t...

In The Wake Of Explosive Allegations Made By The Actress’s Former Nanny, A Los Angeles Dog Shelter Is Standing Up For Olivia Wilde

-
The dog rescue group based in Los Angeles that Olivia Wilde used to get her Golden Retriever named Gordon from wants to clear up some misconceptions about his past and explain what indeed occurred to him. On Friday, Maeday Rescue took to Instagram to explain the choice made by the director of Don't Worry Darling to find a new home for Gordy in the wake of explosive allegations made by the actress's former nanny. They described Wilde, who is 38 years old, as a prominent advocate for animal rescue and a conscientious pet owner who behaved out of compassion and affection for him. According to Maeday, Gordon and four of his littermates were rescued by the charity in 2018 from a shelter that shall remain nameless. The rescue's founder, Natalie, took them in and fostered them while feeding them formula until the group could find suitable homes for the rest of their lives. Wilde took one of the four puppies under his wing when he was just two months old, provided him with lots of affection, and took him on many exciting outings. However, according to the rescue organization, the actress concluded that Gordy did not enjoy the life of constant travel and was not comfortable among young children. Wilde and her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, have two children together: a son named Otis, who is eight years old, and a daughter named Daisy, who is six years old. According to Maeday, Gordon had developed a profound connection with the person who walked his dog in Brooklyn, and that person resided there. After calling Maeday to discuss the problem, Olivia finally decided it was in Gordy's best interest to be given to the New York dog walker. The animal shelter said that it is OK for there to be instances in which the animal would be happier in a different setting, even though they take great satisfaction in locating the ideal permanent homes for their rescued pets. Maeday also brought up that Gordy's Instagram feed is chock full of evidence that he is making the most of his life. According to the organization, which could not explain further, "We felt like we should publish this since we detest that the media is presenting a Maeday adopter in a terrible light.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
