There’s no shortage of movies set in hotels. From 1932's Grand Hotel all the way up to this week’s Hotel Artemis, the setting has been a ripe source for drama, comedy, violence, and everything in between. Bad Times At The El Royale looks to provide with you all of the above, and then a little more for good measure.

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. With the Sundance sensation Hereditary opening in theaters this week, we’re taking a look at other movies that make our skin crawl.

Interpol spent most of last year touring in honor of the 15th anniversary of Turn On The Bright Lights, but for the first time since El Pintor in 2014, Interpol is back with a brand new album. Titled Marauder, the album was announced with a 45-minute black-and-white press conference from Mexico City that features the…

After spending most of the last decade in a Medium Place occupied by the occasional role in a poorly-reviewed dramedy (remember Mr. Church? A Thousand Words?) and recording reggae music in his home studio, Eddie Murphy is making his return to the blue comedy that made him famous. He’s doing so with a starring role in…

Simon Pegg’s most recent turn as a suicidal schoolteacher in Vaughn Stein’s Terminal is a slight, darker departure from his typical roles as comic relief in action flicks, or unlikely leading men in Edgar Wright films. We talked with Simon Pegg about why he took on this darker role.

Life’s been kind to Dave Grohl, who, despite being in two of the most pervasive rock bands in history, has managed to ease into adulthood with relatively few scars. That’s impressive since the dude still rocks like a much younger man, whether that be through his pre-show shots or his fiery onstage antics.

One of the perks of watching films set in a lived-in universe, like that of the Star Wars movies, is that every frame is filled with unnamed objects and characters that hint at a larger world just outside the scope of the story you’re being told. Recently, The Star Wars Show invited viewers to take a behind-the-scenes…

After nearly four years of feuding, Lil Wayne has finally been freed from his longtime label Cash Money Records, with The Blast reporting that Universal (which owns Cash Money) has paid out “well over $10 million” to settle a lawsuit that Wayne filed in 2015 against the label and its co-founder Birdman. Lil Wayne…

When The Staircase first debuted on French TV in 2005, it was barely recognizable as a true-crime documentary. At that time, “true crime” meant Dateline. It meant Nancy Grace, whose smug moralism stands in for the judgments of society in Jean-Xavier de Lestrade’s then eight-part documentary series. More than a decade…

The cast of Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is coming together nicely, with A-list stars lining up seemingly by the dozens to play weirdos—both fictional and real-life—running around Hollywood in the fateful summer of 1969. Yesterday, Deadline reported a whole bunch of names that have been…

Who gets 8 hours of sleep on the regular? Retired people? For the rest of us, freakin’ life gets in the way: kids, school, Netflix catch-ups, dogs who have to pee at 3 a.m., work schedules that are far from 9-to-5... Thankfully, caffeine is there for us, powering us through rough mornings, and hopefully reviving us…

Way back in 2014, rumors started to swirl that Kenan Thompson was preparing to leave Saturday Night Live, a decision that was supposedly reversed after Lorne Michaels stepped in and convinced him to stay. The rumor was disputed at the time, and seeing as how it’s 2018 and Thompson is now the longest-tenured member of…

Stewart Lupton, singer of influential New York band Jonathan Fire*Eater, died on May 28 at the age of 43. Below, Lupton’s former bandmate (and A.V. Club columnist), Paul Maroon, offers a remembrance. 

The saying goes that an infinite number of monkeys working at an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare. What renowned simian collective YouTube has produced today, however, is Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” with every other beat…

True to its name, Star Wars is known for getting its fans into heated battles. While many fights are started over small series details—Did the Kessel Run timing metrics make sense? (No.) Did Han shoot first? (Sure.) Was Luke drinking alien milk or alien semen in that last movie? (Depends on that day’s nipple.)—others…

The “unlikable female protagonist” subgenre finds a worthy new entry in Nancy, the Sundance-winning feature debut of talented writer-director Christina Choe. In an emotionally ambiguous, formally restrained tale of intentionally mistaken identity, Nancy sets its title character up as a lost, lonely woman in an…

All week, people have been sharing their thoughts and remembrances of Sex And The City, the game-changing HBO show that brought female friendships to the forefront and brought a bunch of conversations about female sexuality to prime time. But rather than debate whether Carrie should have ended up with Big, what’s the…

Let’s hope Morrissey was telling the truth when he said he really doesn’t know and really doesn’t care if the people stare (then, the people stare) because he has just revealed the entirety of his diet, and it seems safe to say the people are going to stare—and wonder how he is still alive.

On Tuesday night, news broke that Warner Bros. was giving Jared Leto’s damaged incarnation of the Joker his own spinoff. Which would be all well and good—some fans, and even Leto himself, were disgruntled at how little he appeared in Suicide Squad—if... well, there weren’t already a smörgåsbord of other movies starring…

In his new film Hearts Beat Loud, Nick Offerman plays Frank, a single dad and record store owner who, in order to connect with his daughter (Dope’s Kiersey Clemons) before she goes off to college, launches a father-daughter musical act which becomes a breakout hit. At the premiere of the film, we talked to Offerman…

Prince’s legendary vaults have been cracked open, and although we’re still waiting for the thrash-metal album from the late musical legend that we know must be in there somewhere, his estate has officially announced a new live record, Piano & A Microphone: 1983, on the date of what would have been his 60th birthday.

If your fictional character announces her intention to apply to Harvard Law School with a sassy video showing her recapping the plot of Days Of Our Lives while wearing a sequined bikini and lounging in a floaty mat, why not apply that same logic to your real-life publicizing of a new sequel? It worked for the fake…

The trailer for the latest cinematic incarnation of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series, The Girl In The Spider’s Web, hit the internet today, with Claire Foy stepping into the role of master hacker/angel of vengeance Lisbeth Salander, played by Noomi Rapace in the 2009 Swedish original and Rooney Mara in David…
