Happy Venice film festival! By which we mean happy two-year anniversary to Don’t Worry Darling, spitgate, and Florence Pugh drinking an aperol spritz – though this year was no less juicy, with plenty of sex, this inane question (from an Australian, obviously), and the general downfall of the Joker sequel. Speaking of jokers: Proust

Good reads: Katy Perry’s tour of shame continues apace; workplace manners continue degrading. This is The Business of Fashion’s business of fashion and Heartstopper’s best heartstopper. Also in dreamboats: Jason Schwartzman, Chloë Sevigny, Brian Jordan Alvarez

Hot takes: against re-reading, against Rachel Kushner, and against sandos.

A film – revenge sweet  
June Squibb kicks ass in Thelma – literally. Is there anything more delightful than watching the 94-year-old actor in her first leading role on an action-packed quest to take revenge on scammers? In cinemas!

A show – honeymoon suite  
The murder-in-paradise genre of TV is quickly getting hackneyed – but this latest addition starring Nicole Kidman is still 'ludicrously good'. The Perfect Couple is on Netflix.

Another show – Oldman feat  
Spy thriller Slow Horses has become one of the slickest series of the past three years – and it's back for season four with a roaring Gary Oldman and an old-school wit. On Apple TV+.

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Our quality, investigative journalism is a powerful force for scrutiny at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2

We are independent and have no billionaire owner telling us what to report, so your money directly powers our reporting

3

It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message

Help power the Guardian’s journalism in this crucial year of news, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis . It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
