NECK AND NECK A sliding scale of undone-ness. From left: buttoned-up actor Rami Malek; former President Barack Obama looking discreet; actor Hugh Jackman in a revelatory button-up; late actor and ’70s sex symbol Burt Reynolds, his shirt rakishly (and characteristically) agape. “SHIRT BUTTONS are linked to sexuality,” said Natalie Nudell, particularly when it comes to men’s shirts. Lockdown and the WFH era have rendered ties, already in decline prepandemic, largely extinct. As workers return to offices, few are covering their risqué shirt openings with strips of silk.

Not even Taylor Swift could rescue "Amsterdam" at the box office. In fact, the latest movie from the "Silver Linings Playbook" director "ultimately stands to lose anywhere from $80 million to $100 million," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The poor performance of "Amsterdam" adds it to the long list of big-budget movies that have bombed spectacularly, though it isn't anywhere near the top just yet.

Recovering from their war injuries, they took refuge in Amsterdam, a place where the world’s concerns – including those involving race – appeared to shrink away. Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington in 'Amsterdam.' “This is so strange,” Burt mutters at one point, which turns out to be an inadvertent commentary on the film itself.
