If Netflix comedy special Bill Burr: Paper Tiger illustrates anything, it's that a lot has happened in two years. In the time since Burr's previous special debuted, American culture changed significantly — the #MeToo movement emerged, racial tensions were amplified, the political divide grew into a chasm and, most relevant to the topic at hand, ideas about what is and isn't funny became a point of heated debate. Dave Chappelle's recent controversial Netflix special Sticks and Stones stirred the latter topical soup rigorously, prompting many of us to wonder what role standup comics play in 2019. Do they offer escapist relief? Are they artists reflecting and commenting on our troubles? If they're breaking boundaries, how, and why are they doing it? Burr surely wouldn't pretend to know the answers, but in the context of his trenchant comedy, maybe the answer is, all of the above. BILL BURR: PAPER TIGER: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT? The Gist: Burr's trademark is what my dad calls a "shit-eating grin. "

En diciembre pasado, Clint Eastwood fue entrevistado por la conductora del programa televisivo The Ellen DeGeneres Show, algo inusual, pues el director y actor no se presta a las entrevistas, y menos a aquellas en las que le preguntan por su vida personal. Ahí dijo: "A veces pienso que cuando era un niño pequeño y solía salir con mi abuelo que tenía unos 90 años, pensaba, 'Jesús, quién demonios querría vivir tanto'". Eastwood es abuelo y el domingo 31 de mayo cumple 90 años. En 2010 fue fotografiado con el director portugués Manoel de Oliveira, quien, aunque nacido en 1908, por ese entonces, en el poscrepúsculo de su vida, seguía haciendo películas imperecederas, como Belle Toujours (2006), magistral lección de cine en miniatura en la cual destaca una mirada exacta para ver cómo funciona la nostalgia del deseo cuando todavía no perdió las ganas. Eastwood ha llegado a una edad venerable en la que es mejor dejar de contar los años, y está impecable, física y mentalmente. A juzgar por la calidad de sus filmes recientes, tiene cuerda para rato.
