Olivia Rodrigo's glittering 'SOUR Prom' film is streaming for free

Olivia Rodrigo's SOUR Prom has landed, and you can watch it for free. Directed by Kimberly Stuckwisch and Toby L, the meandering concert film features performances from the 18-year-old singer's debut album, SOUR , released in May and which we bloody loved . It was livestreamed on YouTube on Tuesday night. Centred around a prom (as the title suggests), the 28-minute film sees Rodrigo performing "Brutal," "Traitor," "Enough For You," "Driver's License," and "Good 4 U," in the back of a limousine, in a tinsel-clad prom, in a photography darkroom, and a big finale on a football field. Rodrigo saw some criticism for the film's press image from musician Courtney Love, who called out similarities between it and Hole's Live Through This album cover . You can watch it for free above from YouTube, and SOUR is out now through Geffen Records. https://ift.tt/2UfhXk4

The gloriously chaotic humor of ‘Werewolves Within’ brings it to life

Welcome to Thanks, I Love It , our series highlighting something onscreen we're obsessed with this week.  Werewolves Within is part creature feature, part murder mystery, and part action movie, but what stays with you after Josh Ruben's horror comedy is the latter part — a distinct, quirky sense of humor that permeates from Mishna Wolff's script into every other part of the film. Mashable loved Wolff's script, which Adam Rosenberg praised for its " inherent wholesomeness " and distinct characters. We spoke with Wolff about her comedy influences, life as a "humorist," and what makes Werewolves Within pop off the page. "My first task was to serve the whodunnit," Wolff says of film's central mystery. "My second task was to create tension in the script, and my third task was actually laughs." Wolff enjoys "a lot of chaos" in writing an ensemble feature like this ("I probably have ADD"): overlapping dia

Billy Boyd manages to stump Stephen Colbert with 'Lord of the Rings' trivia

How good, nay, exceptional is your Lord of the Rings trivia knowledge? J. R. R. Tolkien fan and scholar Stephen Colbert's is historically excellent , with The Late Show host even taking his fandom to the next-level on a visit to New Zealand a few years back. So OG trilogy stars Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, members of the Fellowship and proud owners of their own new podcast , decided to take Colbert to task with some trivia about Tolkien's beloved books, with a precious prize promised. Who is Shelob's mother and how did she die? Where exactly is the pivotal entmoot within Fangorn Forest? One of these extremely niche questions escapes Colbert's deep knowledge. "Ladies and gentlemen, stumped by Pippin!" announces Boyd. Don't worry, Colbert gets his revenge — with a question from director Peter Jackson himself. https://ift.tt/3jskDFr

Christina Aguilera Shows Her Support For Britney Spears in a Series of Heartfelt Tweets

Christina Aguilera is voicing her support for Britney Spears. During a court hearing on June 23, Britney requested for her years-long conservatorship be terminated, detailing the "abusive" arrangement that is stopping her from living a full life, including getting married or having kids. On Monday, Christina reacted to the court hearing in a series of emotional tweets, reiterating that Britney deserves all the love and support in the world. "These past few days I've been thinking about Britney and everything she is going through," she wrote alongside a throwback photo of her and Britney from their Mickey Mouse Club days. "It is unacceptable that any woman, or human, wanting to be in control of their own destiny might not be allowed to live life as they wish. To be silenced, ignored, bullied or denied support by those 'close' to you is the most depleting, devastating and demeaning thing imaginable. The harmful mental and emotional damage this can tak
