I'd been to Bangkok already many times before. But as I stepped out of the airport after 15 hours of travel, hit with the muggy air and that nighttime heat, there was that sudden excitement of being somewhere new all over again. A quick cab ride to my hotel with Miley Cyrus on the radio and a welcome drink from reception as I walked in was more than enough to remind me why I love this city. They don't call it the Land of Smiles for no reason.

As summer movie season comes to a close, it’s time we say goodbye to the superheroes and franchises and say hello to more highbrow fare, like The Danish Girl, which stars Eddie Redmayne as a trailblazing transsexual (there has never been a phrase more highbrow than “Eddie Redmayne as a trailblazing transsexual”).

Because the rapper – who recently came out as agender and pansexual and has publicly stated a preference for they/them pronouns – clearly defies categorization, and not only in regard to their gender identity (or lack thereof).

Twenty years ago this week, David Fincher created an an instant pop-culture sensation with his 1995 breakthrough film Seven. Two decades later there’s still nothing comparable to his bleak and yet cool cinematic triumph. When it came out we had no idea that Kevin Spacey was in it, much less playing the villain John Doe. Now, while I firmly believe that John Doe is a severely repressed homosexual, that is not because he is being played by Kevin Spacey.
