In praise of the queue: standing in line is a form of mindfulness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The number of Queues I Have Joined by Accident is small (one), but what that list lacks in length it more than makes up for in quality. I’d been not five minutes inside Osaka’s Super Nintendo World, my hyped-up eight-year-old dragging me by the wrist, when we found ourselves in a long, nondescript corridor. A line of fellow theme park attendees stretched ahead, and we were curious to discover the attraction drawing such interest. We reached the end of the corridor to find it opened onto a vast r

This year’s much-anticipated touchdown of Denis Villeneuve’s third Dune film coincides with the 50th anniversary of the most valiant yet doomed attempt to bring Frank Herbert’s science-fiction epic to the screen.

From Swan Lake to Sugar Plum Scary: enough with the ballerina assassins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jennifer Lawrence, Florence Pugh and Scarlett Johansson are among the finest actors of their generation. It’s rewarding to see such Hollywood heavy-hitters all signing on to tackle one of the most dangerous scourges of contemporary life. The headlines might be dominated by war and climate change, but consciousness is slowly growing towards the hidden menace that is the killer ballerina. This year’s Pretty Lethal saw Uma Thurman’s evil bunhead-turned-gunhead leading an attack on a troupe of balle
