How Older, White Critics Have Missed the Boat on ‘Rachel Getting Married’
5:09AM Kyle Buchanan | Most of the attention paid to Jonathan Demme’s new film Rachel Getting Married has centered on the Oscar-buzzed lead performance from Anne Hathaway, but many critics are consumed with something the movie treats as a non-event: the fact that the titular Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) is marrying a black man, Sidney (Tunde Adebimpe of the band TV on the Radio). The interracial nature of their relationship goes unremarked upon throughout the entire film, and that fact is vexing several film critics, who dismiss such a notion as a fantasy. Enjoy their thinly veiled discomfort with the shocking idea that white people can marry black people in 2008 without someone giving a speech about it, after the jump! More »

2:40AM Kyle Buchanan | It’s the rumour that’s been burning up the internet for the last few days: in an upcoming issue of Esquire, actress Anne Hathaway will open up about her love of anal sex. After describing it as one of the most sensual things she’s ever done and something that makes her feel “feminine in a very special way,” the actress supposedly says, “Every woman should try it, otherwise they miss out on something amazing.” While Hathaway has played her fair share of sexually provocative roles in films like Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, we were skeptical of her newfound candor; nevertheless, the rumour has only built up steam over the last few days (it was spread by Gawker, LA Rag Mag, and thousands of other sites). Emboldened by our investigation into Megan Fox’s own magazine confessions, we knew we had to find out: are these Hathaway quotes for real, and if not, where did they come from?
