The President* Has Entirely Clusterf*cked the Republican National Convention
 
First of all, President Petri Dish wants his big moment and, by god, he's going to have it, even if it kills people, and it probably will. (He's coming up my way for a SuperSpreader Extravaganza in Portsmouth, N.H. on Tuesday. I'm piling sandbags at the border.) That's why he jilted Charlotte in the first place. Second, Jacksonville is a terrible place to have anything. Charles P. Pierce explains the rest. (Oh, yeah, there's more) Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The Best Cargo Shorts (Yeah, You Heard Us) to Buy Right Now
 
The cargo shorts some of the best-dressed dudes around are feeling right now are a far cry from the sad, shapeless numbers that first gave the style a bad name. Sure, the pockets are still there, but they're employed differently—a functional nod to the style's roots that doesn't sacrifice form in the process. Instead, the new breed of cargo shorts you should be thinking about copping are slimmer, sometimes with a shorter inseam than you might be used to, and often retro-inspired in all the right ways (with nary a hint of a camo pattern to be seen). Wear 'em with some chunky New Balances. Wear 'em with some beat-up clogs. Or hell, wear 'em with a pristine pair of loafers, because the newfangled cargo shorts of today can do it all. Esquire's Avidan Grossman selected the best of what's available right now. Read More

Ennio Morricone's Music Transformed the Way We Experience Film
 
It's been said that a good movie score is the one you don't notice. It subtly manages to heighten the emotions in a scene without calling too much attention to itself. Fair enough. That may be true for people who know far more about music theory than I do. But I'd also argue this: A better-than-good movie score—in other words, a truly great one—is the one you just can't get shake long after you've walked out of the theater. You can't stop hearing it in your head, humming it as you walk down the block, and whistling it while you do the dishes. In my lifetime as a religiously faithful congregant in the Church of Cinema, I can think of only two composers who managed to pull that feat off just about every time they lifted their batons: John Williams and the Italian maestro Ennio Morricone, who passed away today in Rome at age 91. Chris Nashawaty remembers the icon. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If This Stuff Can Protect $2,000 Dior Air Jordans From Ketchup, It Can Protect Your Shoes from Anything
 
If you're eyeing that weather forecast with growing apprehension, don't despair yet; there are steps beyond keeping your new shoes in the box that you can take to help your sneakers stay extra fresh. You've likely already come across some of Crep Protect's wilder marketing stunts (the brand loves dumping stuff like ketchup and chocolate sauce on extremely hyped sneakers), but clickbait-y schtick aside, the product remains one of the best ways to ensure your sneakers stay protected no matter the circumstances. Watch a new pair of Dior x Air Jordan 1s get dumped on and then easily cleaned, and then tell me you don't wanna spray this stuff on every pair you own. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
15 Finds Under $50 That'll Turn Your Summer Style Around Instantly
 
The Fourth of July is, despite America's rapidly diminishing status in the global arena, still good for a few things. Grilled meats aside, brands across the country get nice and horned up for the occasion, which means retail therapy is in order. And because excess is The American Way, said sales tend to last beyond the actual date. Esquire's Avidan Grossman has cooked up a few of the best still lingering for you, so you can spend whatever you didn't on sparklers on some style that'll make a bang without scaring the dog.
