Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s Queer Caper

“Ethan thinks I’m like Jamie,” Cooke said on a Zoom call the other day, from a wooden-raftered Airbnb in Albuquerque, where the couple are shooting another movie. “I’m a glass-half-full person. Ethan can kind of spiral into—” “I’m like Marian,” Coen interjected. He had a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard and wore black-rimmed glasses. “I’m the worrier.” He sighed. “Sometimes I get infuriated with Trish for not worrying!” “I admit I can be a little cavalier,” Cooke conceded. She had on black-ri…

Culling the Kim’s Video Mother Lode

The tapes are part of the collection of Kim’s Video, the legendary movie-rental store. From the late nineteen-eighties—long before truffle popcorn or pickleball—to 2009, Kim’s offered New York film buffs a catalogue of rare titles. That year, Youngman Kim closed the store’s main location, on St. Marks, and more than fifty thousand tapes and DVDs were hastily packed and sent to Sicily, where the mayor of Salemi, a small town with Marfa-esque cultural aspirations, agreed to house them, on Kim’s co…

Michael Cohen, Trump’s lawyer and fixer at the time…

The Surreal Simulations of a Reality-TV Restaurant Empire

As is often the case these days, the business owed its success to reality television. In 2010, Vanderpump was cast on the Bravo reality show “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” where her plummy British accent and sharp humor made her something of a queen bee. (SUR, in addition to Villa Blanca, a “Mediterranean inspired” restaurant in Beverly Hills that Vanderpump opened with Todd in 2009, was sometimes featured on the show.) Fortunately for viewers, Vanderpump’s hauteur didn’t stop her from…
