Movie review: Wes Anderson’s ‘Asteroid City’ never quite comes together

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:56 GMT

Was Wes Anderson maybe … TRYING to put us to sleep?That is the recurring question in our mind as we absorbed “Asteroid City,” the acclaimed filmmaker’s latest star-packed and quirky affair, a slow, dreamlike comedy set in the 1950s and folding together the American West and Broadway.A scene late into the writer-director’s 11th film suggests Anderson at least knows we may be on the verge of sleep by then, but we’ll say no more about that specifically.On the surface, “Asteroid City” is set in the town of that name, a dot on the map in the American Southwest that’s home to 87 people, a one-pump gas station, a luncheonette, a small motor-court hotel and a telephone booth. Just outside of town resides a large meteor crater and an observatory.We quickly learn, though, that it actually is a setting created for a broadcast of a play from the Tarkington Theatre, “in an area much like New York’s Great White Way,” as the film’s production notes state.Bryan Cranston portrays the host of a broad...

BLOOD (Associated Press)LOS ANGELES (AP) — Attorney John Eastman, a lead architect of some of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election, faces possible disbarment in disciplinary proceedings that began Tuesday in Los Angeles.Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges stemming from his development of a dubious legal strategy aimed at helping Trump overturn the election by disrupting the counting of state electoral votes. The State Bar Court of California will hear testimony, including from Eastman, in a proceeding that could result in him losing his license to practice law in the state. Others who will testify include Greg Jacob, a former attorney for then-Vice President Mike Pence. Jacob had pushed back against Eastman’s plan to have Pence stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory. Pence didn’t have the power to overturn the election and has said so. In a memo critics have likened ...
