Brody Malone is ready for a potential second Olympic appearance at the 2024 Paris Games, but the 23-year-old gymnast is taking a levelheaded approach to expectations.
“I haven’t made the team quite yet, so I still have to go through that process,” Malone said in his new uInterview. “To be honest with you, I don’t like to have expectations going into a competition. I’m very much a take it one day at a time guy and take what the day gives you and try to make the best of it. So I try not to set those expectations because it will take me out of the zone.”
Even though Malone is cautious, the chance to compete in another Olympics would be a great honor.
“It would be awesome. It would be my second Olympic games, and anytime you get the opportunity to represent your country on the Olympic stage,...

Fred M. Wilcox's 1956 sci-fi classic "Forbidden Planet" was a notably opulent affair, at least as sci-fi films go. Its budget at the time was only $1.96 million (which shakes out to about $22 million today) comparatively small to the historical epics Hollywood was overspending on at the time; "The Ten Commandments," for instance, cost a whopping $13 million, while 1956's Best Picture winner, "Around the World in 80 Days" cost about $6 million. "Forbidden Planet" was a production on par with 1953's "War of the Worlds," a colorful, large-scale production infused with fantastical spacecraft and weird robots. Robby (voiced by Marvin Miller), the robot featured in "Forbidden Planet," reportedly cost $125,000 to make — about a million in today's dollars.
The production designer on the film was Arthur Lonergan, the Oscar winner behind "The Oscar." Prior to "Forbidden Planet," Lonergan had an extensive career working on shows like "Mr. & Mrs. North," and on low-profile films like "Black Beauty,...

Taylor Swift has us up in the clouds with her latest remix in collaboration with DJ Blond:ish. The duo released a soaring, revved up version of “Fortnight,” featuring Post Malone, on Tuesday evening.
The single, which debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, was one of the songs off The Tortured Poets Department that took up the first 14 slots on the chart last month — breaking Swifts own Hot 100 record she previously set with Midnights in 2022.
Four hours before dropping, Blondish teased the collaboration on Instagram Stories, writing, “Gonna drop a curveball tonight.

From one 1999 horror remake to another. After rewatching The Haunting with eyes that were both more critical and 25 years older, it got me thinking about the other remake that came out that year. One that was a remake of a far sillier movie and that was the first effort from a new studio, namely Dark Castle Entertainment. The original was from a far less dark castle in that of schlock and gimmick purveyor William Castle and it starred Vincent Price as a man offering strangers money to stay in an allegedly haunted house for a night. While The Haunting failed on multiple levels to improve with age, how does House on Haunted Hill (watch it Here) look after a quarter of a century? Does its cheesy yet graphic tone feel at home in the time of A24 and elevated horror or should it forfeit its 1 million dollar check and leave the cursed grounds forever.

The country music world shared the stage at the 2024 ACM Awards, where Post Malone performed songs from his upcoming country album, Dua Lipa joined Chris Stapleton for a duet, and Avril Lavigne and Noah Kahan partnered with country musicians onstage.
It almost felt like Beyoncé — who recently made history on the country charts with Cowboy Country — might pop up. She didn’t Thursday night, but host Reba McEntire did reference Queen Bey’s historic project during her opening monologue.
“We’re here to talk about country music and how everyone is invited and welcome here at country music’s party of the year. From Mother Maybelle to Cowboy Carter, country music is so big in 2024 that there’s room for everybody,” she said. “We all love country [music] and we all are country, and we’re keeping the circle unbroken, but growing it to even bigger and better.”

Reba McEntire recruited budding country star Post Malone to pay tribute to Dickey Betts at the 2024 ACM Awards. The guitarist and a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band died last month at 80.
Malone had just wrapped a performance of his first proper country single, “I Had Some Help,” at the show when host McEntire joined him onstage. After coyly revealing he was a bit nervous, Malone was invited by McEntire to pay tribute to Betts with a take on the Allman Brothers Band’s 1973 hit “Ramblin’ Man.” The pair...

A second memoir on Hollywood media mogul John Malone appears to be in the works.
“Well, he’s had one,” Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei told the MoffettNathanson Media, Internet & Communications Conference during a session that was webcast on Tuesday. Maffei, who works hand-in-hand with Malone, was referring to the 2003 biography Cable Cowboy: John Malone and the Rise of the Modern Cable Business, by Mark Robichaux.
Maffei said Robichaux was at work on a second memoir, with no publication date specified. “He’s been working on that for at least three years. I remember getting interviewed for it a while ago,” Maffei added.
News of a new book about the original cable TV baron followed Maffei being asked how connected Malone was to his company after he signaled a semi-retirement. “John is not day-to-day, but obviously no major decision gets made without John’s approval. And frankly, even well before that,...

Jeff Zucker, the former president of CNN and CEO of NBCUniversal, explained his M&a focus with RedBird Imi during a conference appearance in London on Thursday, saying that “quality programming that you own … will continue to be the key” in a media industry that has been facing “disruption” and various challenges.
The investment firm bases its work on a key premise. “The idea is that intellectual property and quality content, whether it’s entertainment or news and information, will succeed in the long run with the proper eventual amount of capital and patience,” the industry veteran explained at the Wall Street Journal event.
So, “investing, building, and growing” is the focus at RedBird Imi, which is “not what is really going on in a lot of media,” Zucker said. “It’s actually quite a relief right now to be in the process of trying to grow assets, and each...

Nearly two years ago, former Tci Cable CEO and Liberty Global Chairman John Malone offered a rare interview to financial news channel CNBC. Like many media and entertainment executives, Malone had streaming on the mind — the industry was emerging from a time when media companies were spending big on content production and marketing to build up their direct-to-consumer services, but few firms were seeing any substantial and sustainable returns.
With his usual calm cadence, Malone laid out the problem: Consumers like streaming, but companies were working too hard to placate everyone, everywhere all at once. Companies were losing millions of dollars offering their subscription services at low cost. Subscribers could churn out of a service with a simple click, and trying to win them back was an expensive proposition. TV and film fans weren’t signing up in droves to watch original programs...

Forty years ago, you might be hard-pressed to find anyone in the country who regularly watched the political affairs network called C-span, let alone anyone who actually knew what it was.
Today, the brand is as synonymous as Xerox (copy machines) or Scotch tape (adhesive tape) — it’s a stand-in for any kind of live television coverage related to the hearings, votes and political affairs of Congress and other government agencies, to include the White House.
If it’s political in nature, it’s probably on C-span. But not everything aired on C-Span originates with the networks.
Take, for instance, hearings from the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Colloquially, political aficionados and even journalists refer to the coverage as originating from “C-span cameras,” even though they don’t.

The Academy of Country Music Awards show set for May 16 is getting some additional octane in its performance lineup with the addition of two of the biggest artists of the moment from outside the country genre, Post Malone and Noah Kahan.
Malone looks set for a solo moment on the ACM Awards show, while Kahan will join female artist of the year nominee Kelsea Ballerini for a duet.
Even without a new album out, Malone has been ubiquitous lately, in pop and even country. He has appeared as a featured performer in the last three months with arguably the three biggest acts in the music business right now: Beyonce (on her country-driven album “Cowboy Carter”), Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen (on the just-released joint single “I Had Some Help”). He also did one of the most watched sets at Stagecoach, doing a performance of classic country covers. Although it’s...

Mark Wahlberg is often seen without tattoos nowadays, but this wasn’t always the case. The actor’s body used to be marked everywhere with tattoos in his younger years. Wahlberg regretted inking his body as he’d gotten older, and he tried to make sure his kids wouldn’t repeat his mistake.

Wahlberg found out the hard way that removing tattoos is much more painful than getting them. The actor had been inking his body since he was 11-years-old. So when he decided to get rid of them, he had a lot of tattoos to deal with.
“I had, like, eight or nine. They went all the way around my neck, my stomach, my arms, my back, my leg,” Wahlberg once said on The Late, Late Show with James Corden.

Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brien excel in Saint Maud director Rose Glass’ sophomore feature. Here’s our review of Love Lies Bleeding.
If there was any concern or doubt that Rose Glass, the director of 2019’s Saint Maud, wasn’t the real deal, her new film puts all that to rest. Glass’ second feature, Love Lies Bleeding, is a haunting, pulpy affair about the whirlwind romance between a gym manager and an aspiring bodybuilder.
In a star-making turn, Katy O’Brian plays Jackie, who runs into Kristen Stewart’s Lou on her way to Las Vegas for a bodybuilding competition. Their chemistry is sizzling, but Lou’s troubled, criminally inclined family soon complicates their romance.
The cast is rounded out by Jena Malone, Dave Franco and Ed Harris, who sports a particularly impressive hair-do. In a lesser film such ridiculous, over-the-top hair extensions might be a distraction, but here they only add to the uneasy,...

Morgan Wallen closed out the 2024 Stagecoach Sunday night with a hits-filled set that included guest appearances by Post Malone, Eric Church, Hardy, Bailey Zimmerman, and Ernest.
It was the Post Malone duet that drew the most buzz, as the twosome debuted their new song “I Had Some Help.” Ahead of the festival, Malone — who performed a covers-and-guests-filled Stagecoach set under the moniker Posty Goes Country — teased his forthcoming collaboration with Wallen. The first snippet arrived in December, with another preview coming in hot on the eve of Stagecoach’s opening night.

Alien artist Hr Giger was involved in a number of film projects in the 1980s and 90s. We talk to filmmaker William Malone about some amazing films that never happened.
Given just how genre-defining 1979’s Alien was, it’s perhaps surprising that Hr Giger, the Swiss artist who designed the title monster, wasn’t involved in more films. His creations appeared in the likes of Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986), Species (1995), plus a little-seen German indie comedy horror called Killer Condoms (1996), but none were as high-profile or influential as Alien.
In the wake of that genre-defining space horror, other artists and designers tinkered with Giger’s unforgettable xenomorph in its sequels. Giger wasn’t involved in the making of Aliens, Alien Resurrection or subsequent prequels or spin-offs, and his work for Alien 3 was barely used. Instead, Giger had the curious habit of coming up with concepts and artwork for...

Media mogul John Malone’s Liberty Media — which owns audio entertainment powerhouse SiriusXM, the Formula One racing circuit, and a stake in events promoter Live Nation Entertainment, among others — has disclosed that president and CEO Greg Maffei’s 2023 compensation package amounted to $28.66 million, compared with $22.36 million in 2022. He had earned $21.58 million in 2021.
A regulatory filing emphasized that Maffei’s and other executives’ salary portion of their compensation packages “represents only that portion of each named executive officer’s salary that was allocated to our company,” adding that “the portion of Mr. Maffei’s base salary attributable to the former Braves Group” is reported in that company’s proxy statement. The proxy for the Braves, which Liberty previously split off, shows Maffei as having received a $210,000 salary in 2023.
Maffei’s Liberty Media compensation included $7.1 million in stock awards, which he had not received in 2022, while the value of his option awards...

Post Malone, Vault Comics and Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the recording artist.
Blending elements of road thrillers like “Mad Max: Fury Road” and demonic horror like “Evil Dead,” Malone’s story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.
“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” says Malone.
Working closely with Malone, Vault will launch the story first as a graphic novel, set for publication in 2025. Meanwhile, Post Malone, Platinum Dunes and Vault will concurrently develop a feature film adaptation.

Not content to rest on his laurels, Malone is partnering with Michael Bay, Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics to create an all-new IP universe based on an original idea from the unstoppable auto-tune-loving artist.
According to Deadline, Malone’s idea is inspired by George Miller’s beloved thriller Mad Max: Fury Road and demonic horror films like Evil Dead.

Post Malone is working on something absolutely bonkers with one of contemporary cinema’s masters of the absolutely bonkers, Michael Bay.

“Little debrief about yesterday: I don’t like keeping secrets, so that was hard. I didn’t even tell my kids until the other day!” Charles wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. He shared a selfie with Hawke from the airport and a photo of them in The Dead Poets Society in the next slide.

American rapper-singer Post Malone got a new aesthetic but, it isn’t permanent. The rapper, 28, covered all his tattoos to play Taylor Swift’s star-crossed lover in the new music video for their ‘Fortnight’ collaboration.
The track is the lead single for Swift’s album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, reports ‘People’ magazine.
Before its release, Swift, 34, said in an Instagram post, expressed her excitement for fans to hear the song as she is “a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation, and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever.”
According to ‘People’, Swift also shows a different side of herself in one of the video’s opening scenes.
Replicas of Malone’s facial tattoos appear on her face as she sings, “And for a fortnight there, we were forever. Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather. Now you’re in my backyard,...

John Malone, chairman of Liberty Media Corporation, announced on Friday that he is stepping down from his director emeritus role at Charter Communications, TheWrap has learned.
In a statement shared with Cablemax, he cited “the uncertainty around Clayton Act inquiries,” a 1914 antitrust law that also prompted the resignations earlier this month of Steven A. Miron and Steven O. Newhouse at Warner Bros. Discovery.
In his resignation statement, Malone added, “I remain heavily invested in Charter via Liberty Broadband — which maintains its three board seats — and am confident in Charter’s leadership team and strategy for the business.”
Malone had been a director emeritus at Charter since 2018 when he retired as Charter’s full-time director. He retains his seat on the board of his holding company Liberty Media, where is he chairman, as well as on the Wbd board.

Five years after John Malone retired from the board of directors at Charter Communications, he is exiting his post as the company’s director emeritus, Deadline has confirmed.
The veteran exec and Liberty Media chairman, who has served on Charter’s board since 2008, cited the same Clayton Act concerns that led Steven A. Miron and Steven O. Newhouse to resign from the Warner Bros Discovery board early this month.

Taylor Swift and Post Malone Were in the ‘Tortured Poets Department’ Together Way Before ‘Fortnight’
Throughout her career, Taylor Swift has landed 232 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Included in that are the 49 songs that broke into the Top 10. Within that, 11 topped the chart. Despite having an inescapable presence in pop for over a decade, there’s one artist’s record in particular that sparked envy in her. “‘Better Now’ is so insane,” she told Post Malone when she passed him backstage at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. “I’m so jealous of that song — that hook.” Last year, in an interview with Howard Stern, Malone recalled the interaction,...

It’s always fun to discuss horror novels that Aren’T Stephen King. No knock on the monster from Maine, he’s the master of horror novels over the last, oh I don’t know, 50 years, for a reason but its nice to not have the show be solely dedicated to his adapted works. He says knowing that he makes the schedule and decides what books to cover. See you in May, Mr. King! Funnily enough, the man actually loved today’s subject to the degree that he called it one of 2006’s best horror novels, but more on that in a little bit. The Ruins (watch it Here) was one of those hot properties by an author whose previous work was an instant success with critics, fans, and studio executives that put it to celluloid.

Post Malone’s country streak is still going strong. On Wednesday night, the musician took the stage at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville for a surprise performance during radio and television personality Bobby Bones’ annual Million Dollar Show concert. His contribution to the country-centric set was an acoustic cover of Hank Williams’ 1952 record “Honky Tonk Blues.”

Any time a game that cites Condemned: Criminal Origins as an inspiration is worth checking out. Case in point: DOSMan Games and publisher VoxPop today have released their lo-fi psychological thriller, Concrete Visions to Steam, which borrows heavily from games such as the aforementioned Condemned: Criminal Origins, along with Quantic Dream’s Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy.
Focusing on melee combat and environmental exploration, Concrete Visions centres on the town of Stonebrook, which thanks to its residents having mysteriously disappeared, is now deserted. All that remains are the junkies, dregs, and scum of the town, headed up by their cult-like leader, Malone. And they’re all on your tail. You’ll need to fight your way through the cold streets and wild overgrowth on a quest for answers, safety, and freedom.
You’ve got the bare essentials to fight back against your foes. Along with your fists, you can also grab things like bottles,...

[Editor’s note: The following article contains major spoilers for “Love Lies Bleeding.”]
Rose Glass‘ “Love Lies Bleeding” is one of the best thrillers in years thanks to its complex characterizations, richly observed sense of period detail and locale, and fearless blend of sex, violence, and fantasy. One of its greatest strengths is its ability to keep surprising the audience with plot twists and images that are organic yet shocking, often executed with stunningly original makeup and visual effects. “I like all of the visceral, violent, bloody, gooey stuff,” Glass told IndieWire. “I like films that make you feel something physically, whether that’s revulsion or arousal.”
Special effects makeup supervisor Bryan Perkal played a key role in creating three of the biggest surprises and most startling moments in “Love Lies Bleeding”: the reveal that heroine Lou’s sister has been brutally beaten by her husband; the discovery of the husband’s grotesquely mutilated body; and the murder of...

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
There’s an uneasy tension in Amityville in the Hood (2021) between intentional parody and uncomfortable racism. How much of the film’s stereotypical depiction of Compton, which includes gangs, gun violence, drugs, and sex work, is making fun of the conventions of Hollywood films? Or is this just lazy screenwriting and uninspired scenarios?
Let’s give writer/director Dustin Ferguson the benefit of a doubt and go with the former. Of the three titles he’s made in the Amityville “franchise,” In the Hood is by far the most self-aware. There are even a few moments that play like genuine (read: intentional) comedy!
To be clear, there are still plenty of hiccups here. Like his other films in the “franchise,” Ferguson is...

For more than 22 years until his death in March 2017, the revered Osborne served as TCM’s primetime host, bringing millions of viewers into the world of classic cinema he knew as an actor mentored by Lucille Ball, as an Oscar historian and as a longtime The Hollywood Reporter reviewer and columnist.
“How many other channels on television celebrate their anniversary? How many other channels’ fans know where they were the day a network launched?” Ben Mankiewicz, who took over for Osborne, said in a statement. “I’m not sure either of those things are true without Robert Osborne.
“He’s the Walter Cronkite of TCM. The Johnny Carson. The Alex Trebek.

After saying he would not be attending the premiere of Road House out of protest, Doug Liman is in fact at the SXSW screening of his latest film, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
In January, Liman wrote an open letter voicing his displeasure that Amazon MGM would not be releasing the film in theaters, despite what he said were positive test screenings. He wrote at the time, “Amazon asked me and the film community to trust them and their public statements about supporting cinemas, and then they turned around and are using Road House to sell plumbing fixtures.”
In protest, he wrote that he would boycott the SXSW premiere. But on Friday evening, he was seated in the audience for the film’s debut.

It is common knowledge how FromSoftware and its CEO Hidetaka Miyazaki directed their games to be intensely difficult intentionally. Ranging from the Dark Soul series, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and their latest Elden Ring title, all the games pose a challenge in their own right, all to give the player a great sense of achievement once they are done with the game.
As obvious, this difficulty should not be treated lightly. Elden Ring in particular is produced in a way that the player would be filled with rage as he continues his play through. Many famous YouTubers, including DrDisRespect, have seemed to try out the game for themselves, but much without success in their first time.
