An extremely rare 7-inch vinyl pressing of The Velvet Underground & Nico single “All Tomorrow’s Parties” recently sold on Discogs for the record-setting price of $30,000.
Originally released as a promo single in 1966, there are less than 10 known copies of the 7-inch remaining. Featuring “All Tomorrow’s Parties” b/w “Ill Be Your Mirror,” the pressing has been an attractive item for collectors thanks to the detail and energy captured by the mono mixes. The picture sleeve that accompanies the pressing only adds to its value, with collector Andy Davis explaining, “The sleeve to “All Tomorrow’s Parties” was never issued commercially, and was only ever intended for promotional purposes. Legend has it that this cover was never packaged with actual vinyl copies. It has only ever surfaced as a paper artifact, and then only in single figure quantities.”
The sale reportedly took place in March, and the buyer chose to remain anonymous.

Baby Shepherd is the "problem child" of the new interns.
Lucas was not behaving in an agreeable or likable manner during Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 3.
Meanwhile, Mer was back to get funding for her covert research, and Winston made a huge decision regarding his relationship with Maggie and his future.
Our Grey's Anatomy Round Table convened to discuss what some feel was a very nostalgic hour.
Join Sara Trimble, Lucy Peel, and Haley Whitmire White as they unpack the hour.
What the heck are they doing with Lucas? What do you make of him being a jerk to everyone and now leaving?
Sara: I'm appalled at seeing Lucas' behavior. I get he's mad at Simone for her back-and-forth behavior. But that doesn't mean he has the right to be a job-thieving jerk. He should have spoken up and given Yasuda credit for what was happening, especially after she declared them friends.

Things are messy with a capital "M" at Grey Sloan Memorial.
Turmoil abounds as relationships have splintered, secrecy looms, and trouble is right around the corner on Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 3.
Let the record show that presently, a girl wants to wrap Yasuda and Levi up in a blanket and hold them because they had a tough installment.
So did Teddy, but she mainly seemed okay with it all, even though she faceplanted on a treadmill like Maya Bishop.
Seriously, what is up with the Grey's Universe and treadmills? In conclusion, exercising is the worst.
Meredith was back for this installment, but if it was one time when her presence seemed a bit off and unnecessary, it was this one.
It felt like the scenes she appeared in could've gotten put into a much bigger episode that pushed the Alzheimers plot and her penchant for going rogue to the forefront.

The episode picked up where the premiere ended, with Will confronting James Ulster at the prison. Confronting his worst enemy sent Will on a whirlwind of emotions.
Besides serving up a meaty prison storyline, Will Trent Season 2 Episode 2 also provided emotional character arcs for Angie and Michael.
Watching characters grow after they've hit rock bottom is rewarding, and we want to root for them.
While the series has featured horrific crimes in almost every episode, Season 2 has become even darker, featuring flashbacks of the trauma Will endured in foster care.
It became apparent that his past shaped Will to eliminate monsters like James and that he has no patience for James's negotiations and games.
This case had many twists and turns. Initially, it seemed like James was responsible, but he wasn't versed enough in "prison" speak and was trying to stay under the radar.

In a move to circumvent legal constraints, Blizzard is reportedly setting up the Chinese version of World of Warcraft on South Korean servers. This intel comes from X user Nico_oq who has been a prominent source for news regarding Blizzard Entertainment games in Asia.
According to Nico’s X post, “a certain company” is setting up servers in Korea to lease Blizzard the operating rights for catering to the Chinese player base. The servers are reportedly being set up in such a way that Chinese players will be able to play with each other without mixing with the Korean player base. However, this may result in a slightly higher ping since the servers will be physically based in South Korea.

It's a milestone 20th season of Grey's Anatomy knocking on our doors, and they're not holding back.
We saw that Grey's Anatomy Season 19 felt like a soft reboot of the series, simultaneously tapping into the nostalgia with throwback formats with new faces and the return of series fan favorites.
And Grey's Anatomy Season 20 promises to keep up that same energy.
To the relief of many, Ellen Pompeo didn't hang up her stethoscope permanently despite her minimal role last season, and we know for a fact that she'll make some appearances this season.
It's even been teased that she'll appear in the season premiere.
And Grey's Anatomy Season 19 also excited long-time fans with the epic return of Kate Walsh as Addison Montgomery.
Throughout the season, she helmed a critical and timely arc about women's health issues, taking on the abolishment of Roe v. Wade and showcasing the long-reaching ramifications of that decision on the healthcare industry.

When Grey’s Anatomy burst onto the scene and washed over the competition in 2005, Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Grey was front and center.
That all changed in 2023 when the original star departed as a series regular, dropping down to a recurring status.
As promotional material for Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 has trickled out, Meredith has been heavily featured in scenes that highlight her return to Seattle.
Beyond that, there was no confirmation of how long Pompeo would be on-screen.
Until now.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the beloved actress will appear in at least four episodes of the strike-shortened season.
Could Ellen Pompeo return for more episodes of Grey’s Anatomy Season 20?
Four episodes of a 10-episode season isn’t bad, but the outlet notes that Pompeo may appear in more than that.
At the time of her departure, Pompeo was set to produce and star in a limited series for Hulu.

Radical was an emotional rollercoaster that resonated with me on a profound level. It can take you back to those days in school where you might have often felt like an outcast, misunderstood and underestimated by teachers who failed to see your potential. The film brilliantly captures the struggle of students in Matamoros, a town plagued by violence and poverty, where education seems like an unattainable luxury. Sergio Juarez, portrayed as the beacon of hope, mirrored that one teacher we all wish we had—the one who believes in you when no one else does. His unwavering faith in the students brought a breath of fresh air into a stifling environment, breaking the cycle of despair. The raw portrayal of resilience and spirit in the face of life’s challenges struck a chord within me. In a world full of hardship, Radical becomes a testament to the human spirit’s ability to overcome adversity.

Woody Harrelson wasn’t able to make it to The Hollywood Reporter‘s chat at the Sundance Film Festival with Suncoast writer-director Laura Chinn and the actor’s co-stars Laura Linney and Ariel Martin. However, Chinn and Linney shed light on what Harrelson brought to his role.
In Suncoast, which is partially based on Chinn’s own life, Harrelson’s character Paul is an activist who protests in favor of real-life person Terri Schiavo’s right to live while being in a vegetative state. He strikes a friendship with Doris (Nico Parker), a high schooler whose comatose brother is being held in the same facility as Schiavo.
Speaking on the dynamic between the characters of Paul and Doris, Linney, who plays Doris’ mother Kristine, said, “The thing that’s also interesting is when you have conviction on opposite sides of an issue. The conviction is the same and the conviction can,...

As someone with a disability, who works in the entertainment industry, when I hear about a documentary or narrative about someone with a disability, I immediately get suspicious. And that suspicion comes from knowing what the history of disability representation has been in the past. Many times, the stories and characters have been problematic and harmful.

Over the years, the LGBTQ+ community has made significant strides in advocating for acceptance and understanding, challenging norms and promoting inclusivity.
Among the various identities within this community, pansexuality has gained increasing visibility, with celebrities leading the way in breaking down barriers and normalizing love beyond gender boundaries.

Kleber Mendonça Filho offers a poetic but somewhat unfocused memoir-essay about place, cinema and time
Home is clearly where the art is for Bacurau director Kleber Mendonça Filho, whose childhood apartment is the locus of the first part of this poetic but somewhat bemused memoir-essay about place, cinema and time. Twice renovated by his historian mother, the apartment was the site of his first early imaginative forays behind the camera, and appeared in his first two features, Neighbouring Sounds from 2012 and, four years later, Aquarius. Mendonça’s native city of Recife has also been subject to similar remodellings, as shown in the second and third parts here, through the decline of its cinema houses. As they fall into dereliction, it feels like a form of collective dementia, robbing its citizens of a shared cultural continuity.
In Neighbouring Sounds, Mendonça has an almost diagrammatic way of shooting his street and continues in the same vein here.

Holy Family is one of those female-led drama thrillers where the cast takes on the mantle of saving themselves and their families from trouble. It features five women who are essentially parents, and there is a young teenage girl named Mariana. She was essentially a caregiver too, because throughout the two seasons, she was a young girl who had to grow up too fast.
Spoilers Ahead
Who Was Mariana?
Mariana, aka Aitana, was the young, teenage daughter of Gloria Santos. There was no information about her father in the show, but she and her two siblings have been single-handedly raised by Gloria, whose real name is Julia. The show begins with Mariana being introduced as Aitana, a nanny hired by Gloria to help with Hugo. To the world, Hugo is Gloria’s newborn baby, but to the family, Hugo’s real name is Nico, and he is the son of Gloria’s oldest son,...

Holy Family season two is out, and all the fans of the show can witness the continuation of Gloria’s journey to keep her family safe and together amidst all the chaos that was unleashed at the end of season one. Gloria, whose real name is Julia, came across as a hardworking mother to society, but at her core, she was a dangerous person willing to harm anyone distracting her from her journey.
Spoilers Ahead
Who Is Gloria Santos?
Gloria, from the beginning of season one, was a two-faced character. She had become accustomed to manipulating her friends into believing that the life she was leading was the real one, and not once did she break from her character. Gloria never brought out the Julia version of herself because she feared her crimes would catch up to her. For Blanca, Caterina, and Alicia, Gloria was a mother to a toddler named Hugo.

Holy Family Season 2 is out, and just like the previous season, there is no room for the characters to breathe. There are too many aliases that increases the confusion in the narrative. Many incidents take place that change the lives of the characters in the show, further confusing the audience. This article will take the readers towards the conclusion of what we assume is a series finale.

Did Gloria Get Nico Back?
The second season began with Gloria forcefully bringing back Nico from Mariana, who was willing to give the child away to Natalia. In a fit of anger and desperation, Gloria injured her only daughter and brought all of them back to her home. Natalia was kept as a hostage to make sure Fernando turned up to take his daughter back to Argentina. Fernando was no longer interested in making Nico a part of their lives as much as Natalia wanted.

The first season of Holy Family did not offer anything great when it came to storytelling. It was a regular family drama thriller with many convoluted subplots that tried hard to create tension between the family and friends. The second season is an extension of the story from the first installment. Holy Family is a Spanish Netflix original that was released on November 17, 2023, and was created by Manolo Caro.
The second season started with the chaos that was unleashed by Natalia and Gloria in their quest to hold onto Nico. With Natalia and Nico back in her custody, Gloria is close to getting her plan back on track, as she was awaiting Mariana’s passport as well. Her goal to move to Canada was still on, but many obstacles could foil her immigration plans. Natalia and her father Fernando, Marcos’ brother Felipe, and Gloria’s only daughter Mariana were going...

Spanish drama thrillers never go out of style. The theatrics and histrionics showcased in these shows never seem to end, and there is a large portion of the audience that enjoys such content. Elite, The Snow Girl, and Money Heist are some of the prime examples of thriller drama shows coming out of Netflix Spain. Holy Family is an eight-episodic series that was released last year and is about a family that seems to have decent social standing but is burdened by many secrets.
Season one began with middle-aged mothers Blanca, Gloria, and Alicia frequently meeting at an eatery to consume copious amounts of Margarita while they trudge through their lives as mothers. The show throws light on all kinds of issues these women face. Blanca has been married to a pilot while raising her son Lorenzo, who suffers from Down syndrome.

London – A psychedelic eye mosaic commissioned by John Lennon for the swimming pool at his Kenwood home in Surrey in 1965 leads Bonhams’ Rock, Pop & Film sale on Wednesday 29 November at Knightsbridge, London.
Claire Tole-Moir, Bonhams Head of Popular Culture in London, commented: “This monumental mosaic, commissioned by John Lennon is a striking example of the Beatle’s artistic vision and influences. Lennon’s Kenwood home in the English countryside was a place of respite from all the public attention he experienced during the height of The Beatles’ popularity. It’s said Lennon would spend idle hours near the swimming pool and that the mosaic could even be seen from his favoured ‘sunroom’ at the top of the house. With Kenwood still under private ownership, it is very rare to see anything from when John Lennon lived there, making the ‘Psychedelic Eye’ mosaic an incredibly important artefact of Beatles history.”

“For us, we’ve been together for almost six years. We own a home together, have a joint bank account. We’re each other’s emergency contacts,” Zeke shared with People ahead of the big day. “By all sorts of usual metrics we are married.”
“But actually having the ceremony, making it legal, it’s about becoming a family,” Zeke continued. “We’re in it forever. Through thick and thin and easy and hard. We’re going to be the person that’s there for the other one.”
When the couple first started planning their wedding, Nico said that they didn’t realize that their celebration would fall during Pride Weekend in Palm Springs.

A fitfully taut but fatally underwritten thriller about an affluent white family and the undocumented El Salvadorian housekeepers they decide to shelter — or imprison? — in their dungeon-like basement for days on end as Ice raids sweep through Los Angeles, Augustus Meleo Bernstein’s “At the Gates” seems determined to offer a claustrophobic American twist on “Parasite.” Absent the opulent style and satirical fury that made Bong Joon Ho’s film such a cross-cultural watershed, however, this similarly genre-inflected caricature of socioeconomic inequality turns instead to the looming specter of deportation — and the Holocaust allusions built into its premise — to embellish a story that unfolds across our country on a regular basis.
While that trade-off proves understandable given the stakes at play here, it’s not a trade-off this half-baked exercise in single-location suspense can afford to make. “At the Gates” convincingly argues that self-involved U.S. citizens are blind or...

At the Gates is a thriller that is out now – that is enriched by its social commentary. It also marks the breakthrough role for Ezekiel Pacheco, who we interviewed, alongside his co-star, the more experienced actress Sadie Stanley.
Stanley speaks about having Miranda Otto as her on-screen mother, while Pacheco speaks incredibly highly of filmmaker Augustus Meleo Bernstein, who he feels is heading right from the top – a place he also believes he’ll get to himself. After this performance, you wouldn’t exactly bet against it. Be sure to watch both interviews below, in their entirety.

At The Gates is an entertaining and timely thriller that blends the hot button topic of illegal immigration and undocumented workers into a universal story of fear, paranoia, and the perilous state of our own humanity. That it succeeds to the degree it does is the fact that first time feature writer/director Augustus Meleo Bernstein keeps us guessing as to the intentions and the ultimate fate of its tight circle of main characters. Essentially this is a chamber piece all set in one attractive Los Angeles area suburb’s home and the class drama taking place inside that seems ripped from headlines of individual tragic stories of illegal immigrants who have to worry at any given moment when Ice is going to show up at their doorstep, or in the case of At The Gates, at the doorstep of their employers.
