A Running List of Thoughts I Have About W Magazine's Best Performances Issue

Some of the, uh, eclectic portraits from this year's W magazine "Best Performances" issue, captured by German photographer Juergen Teller Written by Lindsey Cook Every year around award season the glossy fashion and culture magazines go overboard trying to highlight rising stars and A-list icons alike for their Hollywood issues. Vanity Fair took us as far away as possible from the dreariness of pandemic living with a technicolor fantasy dreamed up by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. Variety hosted their classic "Actors on Actors" series, creating interesting combinations for dialogues, including Pete Davidson and Glenn Close in conversation with one another. And then...there's W. I typically look forward to W 's Best Performances issue, their annual showcase of Hollywood's hottest talents. 2019's is a standout , featuring artful portraits from my favorite surrealist fashion photographer Tim Walker. In 2017 they paired dynamic duos toge...

Lindsey's February 2022 Media Diary

Inventing Anna A short month and yet jam-packed full of movies and TV shows! Some good, some bad. Let's review: TV Shows Love is Blind Season 2 This show is so freaking addicting, I hate it (but also, I love it). Unlike season 1, which brought us the iconic pairing that is Cameron and Lauren, I’m not sure if any of this season’s couples are in it for the long haul, but it’s fun to watch them try.

I am a bit disappointed to see the show attempt to add in plus-size contestants only to give them next to zero screen time, as I’d like to see a show that supposedly confronts the idea that love can transcend superficial judgments and stereotypes embrace contestants that aren’t “conventionally attractive”, but there’s plenty of drama to satisfy my need for low-stakes TV watching.

10 Questions I Have After The Succession Season 3 Finale

All images via HBO Written by Lindsey Cook A little over two years ago, I watched Kendall Roy deliver the bombshell press conference that ended Succession 's second season, excited for where his mic drop moment would lead and asking some questions about the show's future. A pandemic, nine episodes, and 25 months later, Succession delivered another knockout final episode for its third season that upends the Waystar status quo and leaves me with plenty of questions on what the next season will bring. Let's discuss: 1) Where does Waystar go from here? Throughout the third season, several threats have been looming over Waystar Royco. At the beginning of the season, Kendall's bold statement over wrongdoings in Waystar's cruises division, along with the claim that he had damning papers to prove it, seemed like it could possibly go the distance and do Logan Roy in. A couple of FBI raids and DOJ investigations later, that threat has essentially withered away. Gerri mentio...
