One of my favorite moments in GoodFellas comes late in the film, when Henry and Karen Hill are finally flush with cocaine money and use the opportunity to proudly show off their new home. The furniture is mostly gleaming black lacquer, with gold and black filigree wallpaper to match. There’s a zebra print throw flung

Ventana Big Sur Summer might officially be coming to an end in other parts of the country, but here in California, the warmer weather lingers on through October. Whether the majestic redwood groves of Big Sur, ancient oaks of Ojai Valley or dreamy desert landscape of Palm Springs appeals, end the season on a high

The process was so transformative that it forced him to re-evaluate himself entirely. “I never really struggled with identity before,” Grazer tells me. “But I think the show opened up my eyes to question myself. Being Fraser forced me to question what I wanted and what I stood for and what I believed in. At

Last night, after a dismal opening two sets, Dominic Thiem came back from the brink to win his first Grand Slam title, 2–6, 4–6, 6–4, 6–3, 7–6 (6), against Sascha Zverev. He’s the first new Grand Slam champion in six years, the first to win the U.S. Open in a tiebreak, and the first to

Beyond its shingled, Craftsman-style façade, guests find one of the most glorious views featured along the Mendocino Coast, a region known for its unspoiled beauty and fresh

What kind of discussions did you and series creator Misha Green have when you got around to fully fleshing this episode out? There are a lot of nuances to Ruby’s choices. It’s about exploring privilege that we just don’t get to explore on a day-to-day, we don’t have magic at our fingertips. So, seeing how

(Fun fact: The single barfight I ever saw was in that room, before the show.) One night, during a slow number, a sudden pounding came through the wall. Justin finished the song and took a sip of water. “Whatever malcontent marauder is making that infernal racket needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP,” he hollered. “We’re

Was being Black, or even just infiltrating an industry so close to the culture tough for you? There aren’t many Black people in the industry. I think it’s like, I don’t know, two? And one of them works for us, Rejean Dubois, our character designer. When I was working at Ogura Koubou, I remember we

After your 2004 Fox sitcom Method and Red was canceled, you had some choice words to say about how it was sanitized and unfaithful to the characters you’d created. [Shortly after its cancellation, Method Man lamented, “Where are they trying to go with these storylines? I’m a grown-ass man, I shouldn’t be at a kid’s

Photo: The Inn at Newport Ranch Spacious, tranquil, and scenic. These Mendocino County attributes lure travelers seeking to truly get away from it all, and Fort Bragg’s The Inn at Newport Ranch more than delivers. Located roughly 175 miles north of San Francisco, the enchanting luxury Inn is part of a 2,000-acre coastal cattle ranch featuring more than a

So yeah, there is that weird in between. When we get these casting breakdowns that might be a little too descriptive in what they’re looking for — “Urban.” And so I go, “Am I urban? I wonder. Can I play this character that they’re asking me to play? What are they looking for, are they

This is Wait, What?, a column that explains the seemingly incomprehensible. Pinterest, what hath thou wrought? As record wildfires continue to devastate California, authorities have pinpointed the cause of one blaze currently ravaging the state and it’s a … gender-reveal party! The parties, meant to inform friends and family of an expectant baby’s sex by

On a Monday morning in late August, Michael Imperioli sits cross-legged in front of ruby red drapes not unlike theater curtains, about to teach 400 people from all over the world how to breathe. “This is very beautiful, thank you,” he says, after listing the various far-flung places—Indonesia, Italy, Buenos Aires, Brooklyn—from which viewers are

He seemed to know that history was always a footstep away, closer and stealthier than we’d expect. Boseman’s particular skill as an actor was to make distant existences lost to the hazy fog of yesterday feel electric and alive in the now. One complication about taking on a role like Jackie Robinson is the fact

I listen to his last record, Singularity, quite regularly, [particularly] the song “Feel First Life.” Especially if you’re going through some kind of grief, and you have a sense of loss—this track in particular has helped me move through those moments. And it’s also facilitated a lot of really inspiring conversation. There have been moments

Neal is still the heavy favorite. The latest poll from Jewish Insider has him up 49-40 percent. He has spent $4 million on the race, with another $2.75 million on hand. His base of support is in older, more reliable voters—many of whom are comfortable with the status quo, think taking corporate PAC money is
