Hours of Culture: Five things you should check out this week
Monday December 22 to Sunday December 28
Knight of Cups- See Christian Bale struggling to make sense of his life in the new trailer for Terrence Malick’s latest feature. It’s heavy, heady stuff. What else would we expect from Malick? (imdb.com)
The Year: 2014- Robin Roberts plays host to “celebrities, news makers and special guests” as they reflect on the year that was. Why do the holidays put is in a retrospective mood? The show airs Tuesday night. (abc.com)RYAN PFLUGER/The New York Times
Lampshades on Fire- Modest Mouse will release Strangers to Ourselves in March, the band’s first new album since 2007. In the meantime, they’ve put out the album’s first single. (youtube.com)Kevin Winter
How The Interview Handled the Assassination of Kim Jong-un- There’s been so much talk about the Sony hack that lost in the conversation is any talk about whether the movie at the heart of it all is, you know, any good. Richard Brody calls it a “comedy of responsibility.” He doesn’t mean it in a good way. (newyorker.com)Ed Araquel/The Associated Press
Unedited Footage of a Bear- Adult Swim broke the Internet earlier this year with Too Many Cooks. Their follow-up is a dark suburban nightmare David Lynch would be proud of. (youtube.com)
