The 2018 edition of the South By Southwest fest came to a close yesterday with a bit of a cloud over the proceedings due to a series of bomb scares in Austin, Tex.
Before Power Trip's headlining performance at the Loudwire X CLRVYNT showcase at the Sunset Room in Austin, Texas, guitarist Nick Stewart was presented with a new Les Paul.
Gunshots rang out on the final day of the South By Southwest (SXSW) music, film and interactive festival in Austin, Texas, on Sunday morning (March 20).
Paul Feig’s The Heat took a genre that has traditionally belonged to men — the buddy cop movie — and gave it a female twist. Feig’s new movie, Spy, does much the same thing, this time for spy films, a world that has long been by, about, and for dudes and their power fantasies. Spy explicitly subverts the genre’s typical gender dynamics by casting Melissa McCarthy as a lowly, desk-bound CIA analyst named Susan Cooper, who has spent her entire career in the shadow of a glamorous James Bond-esque spy (Jude Law) and then finally gets her opportunity to step into the spotlight and become a full-fledged field agent.
