They released a partially redacted — names, mostly — transcript of Hunter Biden's encounter with the Washington snipe hunters this week and, as we pointed out in the shebeen on Thursday, Biden fils continued his scorched-earth approach to responding to a House committee subpoena. He got into delicious wrangles with some of the worst the locked ward has to offer. Consider, for example, this colloquy with the insufferable Rep. Matt Gaetz. |

There are times when it's obvious what delights Austin Butler, like when he's speaking about working on Dune: Part Two. Not long after the credits rolled on the first film, in 2021, there was furious speculation over who'd be cast as the big bad, Feyd-Rautha. Elvis wasn't even out yet, but Villeneuve had seen footage from Luhrmann. "I was floored," Villeneuve says. "Austin was at the top of my list." The two clicked immediately, talking about what the director envisioned for Feyd-Rautha's look—bald with no eyebrows, teeth painted black, and about twenty-five pounds of muscle added to Butler's usual frame. Butler enjoyed the process of bulking up more than he expected. "When you feel powerful," he says, "that's a good feeling." |

Dune: Part Two is even better than the first film. The stakes somehow feel exponentially higher, the power struggles are even more mythic and Shakespearean, the onscreen world-building is richer and more exotically filigreed, and the visuals are even more epic and dazzling—something I didn't think was possible. Dune: Part Two isn't just an embarrassment of narrative and retinal riches; it's the sort of big-canvas franchise storytelling we haven't see since The Lord of the Rings came to a close back at the shire. |
