But was Tarantino's statement just a fluffy threat? Will he end up casting Dano in his next film — a U-turn like Donald Trump did to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after he threatened him with…

đź’Ą Discover this insightful post from Culture | The Guardian đź“– đź“‚ Category: Film,Philippines,China,Documentary films,Asia Pacific,Culture,World news,Fishing industry đź“Ś Key idea: DDuring a televised debate in 2016, populist presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte made a typically combative statement in which he said he would personally go to Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea and plant a Philippine flag there. Duterte claimed that he was ready to die a hero to keep the Chinese out of the hotly contested maritime region.“He made millions of Filipino workers and fishermen vote for him because of that one promise,” says director Babe Ruth Villarama.…

đź’Ą Read this awesome post from Culture | The Guardian đź“– đź“‚ Category: Turner prize,Art,Art and design,Culture,Awards and prizes âś… Key idea: TThe morning after the Turner Prize ceremony, the winner of the UK's most prestigious art award, Nina Callow, was eating toast and drinking a strong cup of tea. Everyone around her was delighted – only slightly worse after dancing with their feet at the previous night's party in Bradford, and drinking "a couple of brandies" in the hotel bar. I say hello to Kalo, offer congratulations, and admire the 59-year-old's beautifully manicured cream-pink nails. But the interview was…

đź’Ą Discover this trending post from Culture | The Guardian đź“– đź“‚ Category: James L Brooks,Film,Culture,Jamie Lee Curtis,Woody Harrelson,Jack Lowden,Comedy films,Rebecca Hall,Comedy,Drama films đź“Ś Main takeaway: eNo McKay, a new comedy-drama written and directed by James L. Brooks, feels like a relic, and not just because it's set, seemingly arbitrarily, in 2008. It's broadly appealing, well-cast, and neither exactly comedic nor melodramatic, as far as regular people in non-IP circumstances are concerned, it's the kind of mid-budget adult film that regularly appeared in theaters in the 1990s and early 2000s, before the streaming wars gobbled up the market. Even its…

✨ Read this awesome post from Culture | The Guardian đź“– đź“‚ Category: Opera,Classical music,Culture,Music âś… Key idea: HAndel was at the top of his game when he composed Ariodante, gently pushing the boundaries of operatic tradition and writing some of his most engaging music. It was first performed in 1735 at the Theater Royal, Covent Garden, where the Royal Opera House now stands. Composers and librettists were then asked to create a happy ending to even the most tragic stories, sending audiences away with joy, and Handel duly achieved this. However, audiences of the Royal Opera's new production –…

đź’Ą Read this trending post from Culture | The Guardian đź“– đź“‚ Category: Theatre,Stage,Culture,Young Vic,Kathryn Hunter,David Threlfall đź’ˇ Main takeaway: THere is a brutal, thrilling take on the European premiere of Rajeev Joseph's surreal black comedy about the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. First, an animal is represented on stage, a tiger shot at a Baghdad zoo, that returns from the dead to hunt down the US Marine who pulled the trigger. Secondly, he speaks. In fact, he is wise and doubts the existence of God. A twisted version of Life of Pi? It's definitely not a dream so much…
