Get to Nose Cyrano de Bergerac
Cyrano de Bergerac is one of the most prominent romantic figures in literary history — but even he’d admit his nose was even bigger! The public first got a whiff of the exploits of the seductive swordsman in 1897, in a play that bears his name and has been retold on stage and screen scores of time ever since. Despite the historically famous loaf of French bread on his face (which can be picked up by satellite cameras to this day) Cyrano has remained the grooviest guy from Gaul with all the gals. We caught up with the smooth-talking swordsman to talk about Cyrano the ELEVENTH film – starring Peter Dinklage as Cyrano and Haley Bennett as Roxanne (in theaters Feb. 25) – celebrating his powers of persuasion with the ladies to see if he thinks it passes his smell test. SPIN: Thanks for tak...

Peter Dinklage Calls Disney’s Snow White Remake “Fucking Backwards” [UPDATED]
Peter Dinklage isn’t happy about Disney’s forthcoming live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,. During a recent visit on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast, the Game of Thrones star voiced his frustrations with the remake, calling Snow White a “fucking backwards story about dwarfs.” While Disney has yet to announce their plans for the dwarfs in the film, many fans were excited to find out that West Side Story breakout Rachel Zegler — who is part Colombian — had been cast as the lead princess. For some, casting a person of color in the role marked a major step for inclusivity. But to Dinklage, the story remains deeply flawed and marginalizing at its core. “There’s a lot of hypocrisy going on,” Dinklage said. “Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback ...
Peter Dinklage Addresses Game of Thrones Ending: “It’s Fiction. There’s Dragons in it. Move on.”
It’s been more than two and a half years since Game of Thrones aired its series finale, and Peter Dinklage is finally speaking out about the fan backlash to the polarizing episode. In a profile with The New York Times, the actor who played Tyrion Lannister for all eight seasons of the hit fantasy drama quipped, “[Fans] wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset together. By the way, it’s fiction. There’s dragons in it. Move on.” Taking a more serious tone, Dinklage added, “No, but the show subverts what you think, and that’s what I love about it. Yeah, it was called Game of Thrones, but at the end, the whole dialogue when people would approach me on the street was, ‘Who’s going to be on the throne?’ I don’t know why that was their takeaway because the show really was more t...
Netflix’s I Care a Lot Is a Brutal Indictment of the American HealthCare System: Review
The Pitch: Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike) cares a lot. She’s the legal guardian of dozens of elderly people who desperately need her help. This “care” comes in the form of decision making powers regarding her client’s finances and medical treatment. With a simple doctor’s recommendation and signature from a judge, she essentially has the legal right to decimate the lives and accumulated wealth of anyone who falls into her trap. But Marla’s newest client, Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest), is more than she seems and may end up causing the conniving entrepreneur’s downfall. Writer/director J Blakeson’s new Netflix film is a black comedy that feels infuriatingly familiar given the rampant authoritarian greed and hypocrisy we see daily. Dressed up as a stylish thriller, I Care a Lot is a brutal ...
