Wes Anderson’s star-studded ‘Asteroid City’ trailer is exactly what you want it to be

Check out the trailer for Wes Anderson's 'Asteroid City"

By Shawn Laib Published April 9, 2023

Not many directors working in Hollywood today are able to be the headliner of a film. People are often more interested in summer blockbusters and superhero flicks than they are the unique work of a specific filmmaker. Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro are two of the names that separate themselves from the rest when having this discussion. Wes Anderson is another example, and his newest film offers a star-studded trailer for the masses to enjoy.

Asteroid City - Official Trailer - Only In Theaters June 16

Asteroid City is one of the most Wes Anderson-y films from the director to date. Filled with offbeat humor and a signature color scheme and style, the movie is a science fiction romantic comedy. The trailer appears to show a mashup of exotic personalities clumped together in the middle of nowhere as they attempt to learn about the wonders of the solar system during the height of the Cold War and the Space Race. Cool blues, teals, and yellows are the dominant colors used throughout the trailer, and we know that hues are symbolic of many different themes used in film and television.

8 thrilling shows to watch if you’re a fan of The Lincoln Lawyer

What to watch after Mickey Haller's legal adventures

The legal drama is one of the most well-worn genres in television. From the days of Perry Mason to the current reboot of Matlock, it seems people never get sick of watching lawyers take down the criminals . . . or commit the wrongdoings themselves. The Lincoln Lawyer is the latest in the long legacy of dramas set in the courtroom or adjacent to it. The Netflix series stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as a downtrodden attorney who must make his law practice work with no office but rather the comfy confines of a luxury SUV.

The Lincoln Lawyer is based on a series of novels by Michael Connelly. Matthew McConaughey previously starred in a film adaptation of the same story in 2011. If you've exhausted all of the material in the world, from the books to the third season of the show that recently finished, we have you covered. These legal dramas are full of interesting characters, thrilling storylines, and fascinating twists that are even better than those presented in the aforementioned Netflix hit!

What is cigar purging and how do you do it?

Let us show you the right way to purge a cigar

If you smoke a lot of different cigars, at some point, you'll need to purge. If you've never heard the term, you may ask, "What is cigar purging?" It doesn't mean you have to get rid of some of your cigars, purging is merely expelling bad chemicals out of a cigar, usually which build up in the cap -- where your lips and mouth go. It's a simple concept, and learning how to do it is fairly straightforward. The real complexity comes into play when you consider the "why," and we're going to explore that a little. But first, let's talk about how to purge a cigar.
How to purge a cigar for a more enjoyable experience

Typically, when you smoke a cigar, you're puffing or taking in the smoke and exhaling -- or retrohaling, which I always recommend. When your mouth is on the cigar, for lack of a better term, you're sucking in. Purging involves doing the opposite for a short while. You put your mouth on the cap of the cigar and blow out, but only lightly. You're not trying to explode the tobacco packed inside the cigar out the foot.
