Telluride: Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee parse the specific challenges of their roles in Jane Campion's evocative new Western. Benedict Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee are ready to have the hard conversations about “The Power of the Dog.” Jane Campion’s evocative Western, which premiered to great acclaim in Venice and launched its cast into the Oscar race, brings a radical new perspective to its late-1920s backdrop. The adaptation of Thomas Savage’s novel finds Cumberbatch playing ruthless Montana cattle rancher Phil, who projects a crude, macho presence even as he develops unexpected chemistry with Peter (Smit-McPhee), the son of a widow (Kirsten Dunst) who moves onto the ranch after she marries Cumberbatch’s brother (Jesse Plemons). “I feel very sensitive about representat...

Building off the hype from Miro & Eddie Kingston’s segment on Rampage Friday night (the Mad King was wearing merch emblazoned with one of his less controversial lines), the TNT championship match opened the PPV portion of All Out on Sun., Sept. 5. It looked like Kingston might have the champ’s number, but the Redeemer took control when he turned a cross body off the apron into a slam. The gameplan that got Eddie back into it was no surprise. He’s been talking for weeks about how he think’s Miro’s neck is The Redeemer’s kryptonite. It was a strategy that would have worked, if referee Bryce Remsburg hadn’t been distracted by a turnbuckle cover Eddie pulled off earlier in the match. Kingston hit the DDT and had God’s Favorite Champion covered, but Remsburg didn’t start...

Kanye West’s Donda has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the biggest week for any album release this year (surpassing Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour), Billboard reports. The album landed at the top of the charts with 309,000 equivalent album units.  With Donda, Kanye has once again tied Eminem for the record of most No. 1 debuts in a row on the albums chart. Eminem broke the tie in early 2020 with Music to Be Murdered By. Both artists have only missed No. 1 once—with their respective debut albums. West has become one of only seven artists in chart history to release 10 chart-topping albums (alongside the Beatles, JAY-Z, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Eminem, and Elvis Presley). It was also the largest streaming week for an album in 2021, surpassing J. Cole’s The Off-Season. Halsey’s n...
