‘Americana' Trailer: See Sydney Sweeney, Halsey Scramble to Steal Native American Artifact
In the clip, Sweeney's character proclaims that if she had a million dollars, she'd go to Nashville to sing country music. 'What other music is there?' she gasps. To get her on her way, her enterprising beau (Hauser) concocts a plan to steal the garment, which he hears about from a trio of more enterprising men, led by Dane, who loudly exclaim they also want to steal it at a highway rest stop. So, of course, one of them steals it, somehow Halsey gets involved, and her son (or other young relative) decides he's not having any of it because, 'My home is here in the great spirit.'

The funniest scene in the clip comes when McClarnon's character, Ghost Eye, confronts the kid. 'Have you seen an old Indian shirt?' he asks.
'The white woman has it,' the kid says, meaning Halsey.
'I am the reincarnation of Sitting Bull,' he declaims.
'C'mon, kid,' McClarnon replies. 'This ain't exactly the golden age of cultural appropriation right now.'
And the kid deadpans a rejoinder: 'I remember more horses in my day.'
The film premiered at South by Southwest in 2023. 'Tost's first feature is an admirably weird and engaging odyssey that's like Tarantino meets The Sugarland Express (with a healthy dose of Smokey and the Bandit),' Rolling Stone reported at the time.

Andre Agassi snaps at commentator over celebrity questions in awkward Wimbledon moment
Andre Agassi is at Wimbledon to talk tennis, not to fawn over celebrities. The legendary former player made that abundantly clear during Friday's men's semifinal matches, growing increasingly frustrated at his BBC co-announcer, Andrew Castle, who kept bringing up the VIPs in attendance at Centre Court. Agassi is known for his insightful analysis and ability to break down the game to viewers, but Castle kept shepherding the conversation toward the stars in the Royal Box.

Juergen Hasenkopf/Shutterstock The celebrities on hand included actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Benedict Cumberbatch and Rami Malek, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and other notable figures. One particularly awkward moment during the thrilling semifinal between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz began when Agassi tried to make a point about the on-court play. Advertisement 'I can just make one comment here that's short of a prediction, we saw Taylor go to another level of risk with his serve, which dropped his percentage but then paid off for him…We saw him go to another level of risk with the backhand … go ahead if you want to say something,' Agassi said before Castle butted in. 'That's Elaine Paige, she's a musical theatre star, but she's also president of the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust, they support disabled tennis very much,' Castle said, to which Agassi awkwardly replied that he did not know who they were. Castle didn't seem to take the hint, joking: 'Let's test. This is Andre Agassi and this is 'Guess the royal box member.''

Let me finish my point.' Agassi continued to make his point about Fritz's serve from there, until Castle jutted in yet again: 'OK, that's great. That was Nick Clegg, our former deputy prime minster.' 4 Andre Agassi grew frustrated at BBC commentator Andrew Castle (pictured). Getty Images Advertisement That comment was enough to get Agassi to truly snap, with the six-time major champion saying, 'People watching are watching for tennis, not for this.' Similar moments between the two commentators took place throughout the broadcast, with Agassi reiterating to Castle at one point: 'Do not ask me about people that you show on television because this is my weakness.' Alcaraz will face Jannik Sinner, who made quick work of Novak Djokovic in the other semifinal, in a highly anticipated final on Sunday. 4 Andre Agassi wanted to talk about the match between Taylor Fritz (left) and Carlos Alcaraz (right), not celebrities. AP Alcaraz and Sinner had an epic French Open final on Sunday with Alcaraz fending off multiple match points to rally down two sets to claim the title at Roland Garros.

‘Marvelocity' at Muzeo makes superhero mythology feel real in Anaheim
For comic book audiences, part of the fun is imagining a favorite superhero is real. Could Bruce Banner be sitting in the diner booth next to you? Might you look up to see Peter Parker boarding the bus? Comic book artist Alex Ross's works assists in making the fantastical seem possible with a photo-realistic style that brings superheroes to life. 'Marvelocity: The Art of Alex Ross' is on view now through Aug. 17 at the Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center in Anaheim, featuring over 50 original works from the artist's landmark 2018 book of the same name. Ross is known for his detailed inking and meticulous paintings that incorporate elements of Americana similar to greats like Norman Rockwell, while also exaggerating features and details that allow the illustrations to maintain their magic. The exhibition includes cover art, sketches and even some of Ross's earliest works as well as realistic busts of superheroes and supervillains. 'One thing that Ross does really well is he imagines the person behind the mask,' said John Kim, educational specialist at Muzeo Museum. 'He imagines them as real people.' A life-size bust of Spider-Man from 2002, designed by Ross and sculpted from resin by Mike Hill, is so detailed that the outline of an ear and the gape of the mouth is visible underneath the red mask, giving it a life-like quality that looks as if it might breathe. Later in the show, a 2003 bust of Hulk, also designed by Ross and sculpted by Hill, portrays a snarling Hulk with teeth bared and gums glistening. Spider-Man, a Marvel superhero with amazing spider-like abilities, was Ross's first introduction into the multiverse through 'Spidey Super Stories,' a segment featured in 'The Electric Company' television show on PBS. 'Spider-Man was the opening door. That was the first time I had seen him — or anyone had — in three dimensions and in action,' Ross writes in 'Marvelocity.' The exhibition includes childhood crayon drawings of the red and blue superhero Ross completed at age 5, with the bubble letters 'Spidey' above each panel. The drawings are accompanied by a photo of Ross from 1978 wearing his own Spider-Man costume and hugging his father, Clark Ross. Illustrations Ross completed from age 9 and 14 are also present and the progression of his talent is apparent. The work was saved by his parents all these years, a testament to their encouragement and their foresight at recognizing their son's abilities. One wall displays a full comic book panel, presented with the original sketches that began the process. 'His line work, especially around the faces, is very intensive and very detailed,' Kim said. Although the works are comic book art, they are also fine art, created with a combination of airbrushing, paint brush and ink. Ross frequently uses reference photos and also famously uses live models to study movement and capture figures accurately in his work. Kelly Chidester, Muzeo Museum's director, said Ross's work exists in a cross section where fine art and pop culture meet, a sweet spot for the Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center. 'Something like comics is very approachable and it is sort of a gateway to bring people in so we can have larger discussions about art,' said Chidester. 'We can have discussions about the rise of comic books during World War II, when there was a need for that hope and that optimism…how do we relate that to what is happening in our world today?' A portrait of Invisible Girl (2018) portrays her holding up one transparent hand in front of her face, with expressive eyes clearly visible. In a 2018 portrait of Thor, known as the God of Thunder, his trademark hammer and the lightning bolts that emulate from it illuminate his face and helmet. 'The lightning is also a prop and it is so detailed to the point that you can see the exact same reflection in his helmet,' said Kim. While the art in comic books illustrates a fictional story, the narratives often reflect the real world. Chidester encourages viewers to appreciate the beauty of the art, but also think critically about what the art is saying. A reading room at the end of the exhibition features seating and plenty of comic books for patrons to sit down and enjoy. 'Even if you are not a comic book fan, the artwork stands on its own,' said Chidester. 'The technical skill is there, there is the pop cultural element. There is a literacy element that we are very proud to promote. It is a way to build that bridge between a community and an art institution.' On Aug.16 Muzeo will continue to build that connection by inviting the community out for Carnegie Comic Collective, a gathering of artists, retailers, vendors, art demonstrations and crafts from noon to 4:30 p.m. And with 'Superman' and 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' movies both opening this weekend, it isn't likely the popularity of superhero and their stories will die down anytime soon. 'We are definitely seeing a resurgence of these characters and, as an institution, we like to provide artworks that are accessible,' said Chidester. 'We are so lucky because not every city has a museum.' 'Marvelocity: The Art of Alex Ross' is on view now through Aug.17 at the Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center at 241 S. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim. Tickets are $10, $8 for Anaheim residents and $7 for children and seniors. To plan a visit or to learn more details on the Carnegie Comic Collective, visit

G Flip Will Channel ‘Butch Springsteen' on Eighties-Inspired Album ‘Dream Ride'
G Flip is taking us back to the Eighties. On Thursday, the Australian star announced that they will release their third album, Dream Ride, on Sept. 5 inspired by the sound of the era — and channeling an alter ego they're nicknaming 'Butch Springsteen.' 'When diving in and writing this record, I was sonically captivated by the '80s. I love the use of reverb, the drum tones, all the sonics, the musicality, the soloing, and big drum moments,' G Flip said in a press statement. 'I also really wanted to make a world to accompany the music and storytelling. I kept asking myself, 'Who would I have been in the 80's? What would I wear, what haircut would I have, and what car would I drive?'' More from Rolling Stone Deftones Announce First Album in Five Years, Drop New Song Justin Bieber Announces Seventh Studio Album 'Swag' - His First in Over 4 Years Hear MJ Lenderman Cover Jason Molina for Upcoming 'I Will Swim to You' Tribute Album They add: 'The answer is Butch Springsteen, the masc lesbian, non-binary, drumming, singing pop star that never existed.' G Flip explained that Dream Ride was born after many late-night drives to the studio, which inspired car-themed lyrics in the songs they were creating. 'I also love old cars and totally wanted to drive a Barracuda around,' they admit. (The album cover sees G Flip posing outside of a hot-pink car with a retro-inspired design.) To celebrate the album announcement, G Flip released the single 'In Another Life,' which they say is the start of their album's Dream Ride. The LP is also set to feature previously released singles 'Disco Cowgirl' and 'Big Ol' Hammer,' which starred Fortune Feimster. Dream Ride follows their second studio album, Drummer, which dropped in 2023. 'I wanted to bring back just how I go about making music from the band sense and as a kid. The new record's very instrument-based, very drum-heavy, very organic-sounding,' they told Rolling Stone. 'There's no loops that I got from the internet. Not saying that that's a bad thing, but for my creative process, I wanted it to be very hands-on and me physically playing everything.'
