A filmmaker who goes we back with Sundance when his short film (Asshole) premiered there at 2009, filmmaker Chadd Harbold flirted with the fest when his sophomore film How to Be a Man (2013) was invited to the festival’s run-off fest in Los Angeles (Sundance Next Weekend). For his fourth feature film, Harbold reteamed with Shiloh Fernandez (Long Nights Short Mornings), and landed Ashley Benson, Logan Miller, Frank Whaley and Jay Pharoah for the set in Los Angeles remake of the 1960 noir film of the same title (read our review).

Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan blasts clickbait and media sensationalism on his folky new song “Chip Away.” “Talking heads are making dollars/It’s like doing crack day after day,” he sings over acoustic strums and back-porch violin, later throwing out a reference to the Flat Earth movement (“I hear it often nowadays/The Earth is flat or so they say”).
“‘Chip Away’ is somewhat of a rail against cable news and divisive agendas…all for the almighty dollar,” McKagan said in a statement. “The song also highlights the...

Duff McKagan has shared his warm new song “Tenderness,” the first single off the Guns N’ Roses bassist’s upcoming solo album.
“The real point of this record, and the lyrics for ‘Tenderness,’ is not for me to be some damn politician or some other voice to add to what is already way too much noise,” McKagan said of the track in a statement.
Unlike Guns N’ Roses’ stadium-filling fare, McKagan takes a softer approach with “Tenderness,” with the rocker relying mainly on piano and acoustic guitars on the dusty ballad.

Duff McKagan has announced plans to release a solo album in 2019, an LP inspired in part by the bassist’s journeys while touring with the reunited Guns N’ Roses. The album, produced by Shooter Jennings, is a “musical follow-up” to McKagan’s 2015 book How to Be a Man (and Other Illusions).
“I wrote a couple of articles about historical places I passed through on this last tour and people kept asking if that was going to be the focus of my next book,” says McKagan. “But an unseen and irrepressible...

Veteran filmmaker James Ivory is happy to let “Call Me by Your Name” rest now. Nearly a decade in the making – much of that time spent with Ivory attached to the film in various positions, from producer to co-director to screenwriter – director Luca Guadagnino’s lush big screen take on André Aciman’s novel of the same name is hitting theaters on the wave of accolades first ignited during its Sundance premiere, admiration that has not abated in the months since the film first debuted.
And while Guadagnino has been actively chatting up the possibility of sequels for the film – or, at the very least, a film that picks up with the film’s main characters after many years have passed, as Aciman’s novel does – Ivory has no interest in returning to the material. For him, this chapter of his creative life is closed.

Editor’s note: The following is an exclusive excerpt from the first chapter of Andre Aciman’s novel “Call Me by Your Name,” adapted by James Ivory for the screen for Luca Guadagnino’s lauded film starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer.
“Later!” The word, the voice, the attitude.
I’d never heard anyone use “later” to say goodbye before. It sounded harsh, curt, and dismissive, spoken with the veiled in- difference of people who may not care to see or hear from you again.
It is the first thing I remember about him, and I can hear it still today. Later!
I shut my eyes, say the word, and I’m back in Italy, so many years ago, walking down the tree-lined driveway, watching him step out of the cab, billowy blue shirt, wide-open collar, sunglasses, straw hat, skin everywhere. Suddenly he’s shaking my hand, handing me his backpack,...

Having flirted with the Sundance festivities with his 2009 selected short film Asshole, and in the sister Next Weekend event back in 2013 with his sophomore film, Chadd Harbold, who so far has several shorts and two features under his belt in Revenge for Jolly! (2012) and How to Be a Man (2013) has had his third film lined-up for a couple of years now. Shiloh Fernandez toplines Long Nights Short Mornings, a drama that some might compare to Steve McQueen’s Shame as it focalizes on one man’s desires in our social app hook up age. Production began in Brooklyn this past June, so this has had a little time to congeal.
Gist: An examination of the romantic life of a young man in New York City and his sometimes fleeting, sometimes profound experiences with the women he encounters.
Production Co./Producers: Dan Berk (Body), Michael W. Gray (Jamie Marks Is Dead), Robert Olsen,...

As I mentioned way back on this post from 2008, as much as I’ve tried to branch out, my tastes are pretty narrow when it comes to reading material.
I’d love to say that I’m broadly well-read when it comes to the more celebrated books of the day, but it’s just not true. If you’re looking to engage in a discussion about today’s most incisive fiction, you’re much better off speaking with my wife (who works in publishing) than one such as I. Truthfully, I’ve pretty much lost my taste for fiction almost entirely. Unless I have some vested interest (like, say, I know the author or it’s about something near and dear to me), I usually cannot muster up the interest to crack the binding.
As a result, whenever I’m perusing through the aisles of a bookstore (when I can still find one,...

On Sunday in Seattle, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan interviewed Nirvana‘s Krist Novoselic about his new book of wisdom, How to Be a Man (and Other Illusions). They decided to try to cover "Sweet Child O' Mine" with McKagan on the bass and Novoselic on the accordion, because why the hell not. Oh, to be a bass player and live without the pressure to be serious and cool. They are the "guy who always has gum" of musicians.

“Duck Dynasty” is getting a Las Vegas musical The Robertsons are expanding their franchise in February with the launch of "The Duck Commander Family Musical,” featuring actors playing the famous A&E reality stars as they celebrate their rags-to-riches saga. Yet as the NY Times reports, “several Broadway producers, many of whom are liberal, gay, or both, are aghast that colleagues would work with a family whose patriarch, Phil Robertson, has compared homosexuality to bestiality.” Still, Michael David, the “Jersey Boys” Broadway producer who is launching the “Duck” musical says: “The show will end up challenging the views and assumptions of people across the political spectrum, more than most theater does.” Espn: We didn’t steal “Tosh.0’s” bit “Web Redemption" "This was more of an instance of us using a common phrase than it was copying his wording,” an Espn spokesperson tells TMZ. Nick Cannon will star in NBC...
