The World of Entertainment and Culture
Instagram-friendly pop-up “museums” might not be worth the hype, but a thought-provoking article about them is definitely worth a read. On the flip side, I fell in love with A Star Is Born, but a scathing review by a critic who didn’t share my enthusiasm was equally fascinating.
