Pink Floyd Announce Wish You Were Here 50th Anniversary Reissue, Share “Welcome to the Machine” Demo: Listen

Pink Floyd are reissuing their classic 1975 album, Wish You Were Here, for its 50th anniversary. Wish You Were Here 50 is out December 12 via Sony Music Entertainment. The expanded edition will be available in 3xLP and 2xCD formats featuring alternate mixes and demos, or as a box set that also includes a fourth LP of live material recorded at Wembley Stadium and a Blu-ray that gathers three concert films from Pink Floyd’s 1975 tour and a short film by graphic designer Storm Thorgerson. Listen to “The Machine Song (Demo #2, Revisited),” a demo of “Welcome to the Machine,” below.

“In the 1970s, album covers were equally as important as the music, because the cover helped to sell the record,” Aubrey Powell, who co-founded the UK design collective Hipgnosis and designed the Wish You Were Here cover alongside Thorgerson, said in a statement. “Record stores would carry 10,000 different images in album sleeves, so what we were doing had to look different and stand out amongst the crowd. I remember turning around to Storm and saying, ‘How are we going to set a man on fire?’ Because there was no digital way of doing it in those days. He said, ‘Po, you’re just going to have to do it for real.’”

Wish You Were Here was in large part a tribute to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd’s co-founder and original vocalist, who had left the band seven years prior due to his deteriorating mental health. Roger Waters and David Gilmour shared lead vocals on the album. Waters handled both halves of the 25-minute epic “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” while Gilmour sang “Welcome to the Machine” and “Wish You Were Here.” “Have a Cigar” was an exception: The band recruited folk songwriter Roy Harper to perform the song.

Revisit Sam Sodomsky’s Sunday Review of Wish You Were Here, and read about the album’s title track at No. 39 in “The 200 Best Songs of the 1970s.”

Dwayne Johnson Reinvents Himself in The Smashing Machine

Dwayne Johnson Reinvents Himself in The Smashing Machine

by jummy84
written by jummy84

For more than two decades, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has dominated Hollywood with his charisma, larger-than-life presence, and an endless stream of high-octane action roles.

From the Fast & Furious franchise to Disney blockbusters, audiences have come to expect a certain brand of entertainment from him: big muscles, witty one-liners, and explosive stunts. But at the Venice Film Festival this September, Johnson surprised the world by stepping into completely new territory with The Smashing Machine.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Benny Safdie, The Smashing Machine tells the gritty and deeply human story of Mark Kerr, a legendary mixed martial arts fighter whose career in the 1990s was marked by triumphs inside the cage and devastating struggles outside of it. Addiction, fame, personal relationships, and the intense physical toll of the sport shaped Kerr’s journey, and now, through Johnson’s performance, his story is reaching a global audience.

What shocked many at Venice was not the fact that Johnson took on the role, but how profoundly he disappeared into it. Gone are the superhero bravado and polished Hollywood perfection. Instead, Johnson delivers a raw, vulnerable, and deeply emotional performance that shows a side of him fans have rarely, if ever, seen before. Critics who attended the festival noted that his work in this film could easily put him in the conversation for major acting awards, something many would not have predicted for an action superstar.

For Johnson, this role marks a career-defining moment. During press interviews in Venice, he shared how personal the project became for him. He spoke openly about facing his own inner battles over the years and how embodying Kerr’s pain and perseverance was both challenging and transformative. This honesty resonated strongly with audiences, many of whom were moved to see a global superstar open up about struggles often kept behind the curtain of Hollywood glamour.

The film itself is a raw and immersive experience. Safdie, known for his ability to capture tension and realism in projects like Uncut Gems, applies his signature style to the world of MMA. Every punch, every bruise, and every moment of desperation is captured with relentless authenticity. Combined with Johnson’s physical dedication  he underwent intense training to match Kerr’s unique fighting style the result is a performance that feels as real as it gets.

The response from Venice has already begun shifting Johnson’s image in Hollywood. He is no longer just the action hero who saves the day, but a versatile actor capable of tackling complex and dramatic roles. This transition could open new doors for him and redefine how audiences see one of the most bankable stars in the industry.

With The Smashing Machine, Dwayne Johnson proves that reinvention is possible, even for someone at the very top. It is not only a milestone in his career but also a powerful reminder that vulnerability can be just as compelling as strength.

"The Smashing Machine" Puts Dwayne Johnson in the Oscars Conversation

“The Smashing Machine” Puts Dwayne Johnson in the Oscars Conversation

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The Rock as an Oscar nominee? It’s time to get used to the idea.

When Dwayne Johnson broke down in uncontrollable sobs during a 15-minute standing ovation at the Venice International Film Festival, it became more than an emotional premiere moment for the wrestler-turned-actor. It signaled the potential birth of one of the unlikeliest Oscar contenders in recent memory, as his transformative turn in Benny Safdie’s moving “The Smashing Machine” could reshape how Hollywood views one of its most bankable stars.

Johnson’s plays former amateur wrestler and MMA fighter Mark Kerr in A24’s emotionally devastating drama, representing the kind of career pivot that Academy voters have historically embraced, and one the cinematic world may be excited to watch unfold. With Safdie taking home Silver Lion for directing at Venice, the buzz is growing louder surrounding Johnson’s vulnerable turn as the troubled athlete. Now, bowing at the Toronto Film Festival, the 54-year-old performer stands at the precipice of a career-defining moment, and one he has sought for quite some time.

Comparisons to Mickey Rourke’s Oscar-nominated turn in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler” (2008) are inevitable and apt. Both films center on fighters grappling with physical deterioration and personal demons. Where Rourke drew from his boxing background, Johnson taps into something rawer and psychologically complex. Working with two-time Oscar winner Kazu Hiro (“Bombshell” and “Darkest Hour”), Johnson undergoes a physical transformation that erases any thought of a WWE star in costume. In fact, he could even position himself as this year’s Brendan Fraser, whose makeup-assisted turn in “The Whale” earned both acting and technical Oscars, likewise for an actor who was thought of as an unlikely awards contender.

Emily Blunt, an Oscar nominee for “Oppenheimer” (2023) delivers an effortless turn as Kerr’s girlfriend Dawn Staples, a woman battling her own addiction while desperately trying to support her partner as he aspires for greatness. Blunt’s presence elevates the film, providing Johnson with the kind of formidable acting partner that often strengthens awards-season narratives. “She’s one of my greatest inspirations,” Johnson tells Variety for an upcoming interview regarding Blunt, with whom he previously co-starred in “Jungle Cruise.”

We often forget about some of Hollywood’s grand traditions of A-list celebrities reinventing themselves as serious dramatic actors. Cher transitioned from hit singer and variety show host to an Oscar winner with “Moonstruck” (1987) after her first nom for “Silkwood” (1983). Stand-up comedian Mo’Nique stunned audiences, and voters, with her undeniable supporting actress run in “Precious” (2008); and Jonah Hill went from the foul-mouthed kid in “Superbad” (2007) to working with the likes of auteurs Bennett Miller and Martin Scorsese, who steered him to two noms for “Moneyball” (2010) and “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013).

More recently, Ariana Grande scored a supporting actress nomination for “Wicked,” while Adam Sandler, once dismissed as a comedy box office star, is in the awards conversation for Noah Baumbach’s “Jay Kelly.” Johnson’s journey from WWE superstar to potential Academy Award nominee now looks like the next evolution in that narrative.

To put it simply: not only could Johnson get an Oscar nomination, he could also be the future best actor winner as well.

A24’s involvement provides confidence, given its track record with past unconventional best picture winners like “Moonlight” (2016) and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (2022). But the indie powerhouse faces a unique challenge this year: balancing “The Smashing Machine” campaign with his his brother Josh Safdie’s upcoming “Marty Supreme,” starring Timothée Chalamet. We’ve seen siblings nominated before. The Redgrave sisters (Lynn and Vanessa) competed for best actress nominations in 1966 for “Georgy Girl” and “Morgan!”

However, no siblings have ever competed against each other in the directing category. Balancing the campaigns for both films without compromising either’s potential is a challenge A24 will need to navigate carefully throughout awards season

“The Smashing Machine” appears well-positioned for multiple noms beyond Johnson’s work. Hiro’s transformative makeup seems destined for recognition, particularly given the Academy’s recent appreciation for physical reinvention. The film’s technical craftsmanship — from cinematography (Maceo Bishop) to original score (Nala Sinephro) to Safdie’s direction, screenplay, editing and producing (looking to repeat Sean Baker’s four noms last year for “Anora” — for which he won all four).

Blunt could emerge as a strong supporting actress contender, in a category that hasn’t presented a standout frontrunner yet, and could pair nicely with Johnson’s big run. It also further bolsters the film’s profile across multiple categories.

The film also stars real-life fighters Ryan Bader, Bas Rutten and Oleksandr Usyk, which adds authenticity to the film’s tone.

Johnson’s candidacy represents a signal to Hollywood’s willingness to expand its definition of who belongs in the Oscar conversation. Just as the Academy has embraced streaming platforms and international cinema, Johnson’s recognition would show its openness to performers once confined to the blockbuster space.

Sean Durkin’s “The Iron Claw,” despite Zac Efron’s career-best work, was ignored by the Academy, showing the risks inherent in sports dramas. But “The Smashing Machine’s” acclaimed reception and A24’s savvy campaigning may set it on a different trajectory.

Will the Oscars smell what “The Rock” is cooking? Audiences will get their answer when “The Smashing Machine” hits theaters on Oct. 3.

Roomies, the internet is crackin’ up at resurfaced footage of Stefon Diggs taking a hard tumble while exercising on a pilates machine.

More On The Resurfaced Footage Of Stefon Diggs Taking A Tumble While Exercising On The Pilates Machine

Over the weekend, The Shade Room posted footage of Stefon Diggs exercising on a pilates machine. Furthermore, the footage seemingly showed Diggs in deep focus with his hands clasped into the handles of the pilates machine and his knees flat on the machine’s bench. Furthermore, as the video played, the exercise required Diggs to lift his arms while pulling his body forward on the machine. At first, Diggs appeared to be successful at the stretch. However, as the bench pulled forward, Diggs took a hard tumble.

Check out the clip below.

To note, the footage of Stefon Diggs initially made headlines in 2024. In June of that year, the New York Post noted that the clip of Diggs went viral, with one pilates instructor even reposting the clip and commenting, “‘S**t is not even that hard FR.’ The camera roll determined that statement was cap.”

The Internet Is Crackin’ UP

Nonetheless, social media users reacted to the resurfaced footage of Stefon Diggs in The Shade Room’s comment section.

Instagram user @sua_ve wrote, “I would’ve broke my MCL, ACL, CDL, BBC, AOL, YOU’ got mail”

While Instagram user @jjones1911 added, “Pilates is hard as f**k. I’m convinced you ladies be in there training for world war 😂”

Instagram user @adjee wrote, “His other leg threw the balance off 🧐”

While Instagram user @thekempire added, “A lot of these bros think Pilates is easy and this is what happens to them often lol … Pilates gets harder and harder and it’s great for the body!”

Instagram user @fashionofphilly wrote, “Their laughter brings me so much joy tho 😆”

While Instagram user @coco_kiiish added, “Yeah I love to see Pilates take these muscle men out 😂😂”

Instagram user @jen_andco wrote, “The fact that he’s one of the ones laughing the loudest at himself😂😂”

While Instagram user @princedre._ added, “Outset Set Up That Machine Personally 😂”

Instagram user @____shaka wrote, “Pilates sounded so innocent. So easy sounding.. but that s**t hard as hell! 😭😂”

While Instagram user @_dan_da_great added, “Here goes another Jet2 Halliday 😂💀”

Instagram user @onelostgemini wrote, “He in pain for real. That laughing keeping them tears in. 😂”

While Instagram user @kbombshell_ added, “Pilates is not a game!! 😂😂😂”

Meanwhile, Stefon Diggs even stepped in to add:

“I thought it was easy 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂”

Months After His Tumble On The Pilates Machine, Stefon Diggs Made Headlines For Another Viral Video

Months after Stefon Diggs took his now-viral tumble on the pilates machine, he then made headlines for separate footage. As The Shade Room previously reported, in May, footage surfaced of Diggs holding a bag filled with a pink substance while being surrounded by women on a yacht. Ultimately, the footage led to his NFL New England Patriots coach, Coach Mike Vrabel, speaking out.

Dwayne Johnson on Smashing Machine, Feeling ‘Pigeonholed’ by Hollywood

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Dwayne Johnson takes on his most dramatic role yet in Benny Safdie’s “The Smashing Machine,” playing UFC champion Mark Kerr. At the film’s Venice Film Festival press conference, the action star revealed that he’s been wanting to expand his repertoire for a while now.

“I have, for a long time, wanted this,” Johnson said, sitting alongside director Safdie and co-star Emily Blunt, who plays Kerr’s girlfriend Dawn. “The three of us have talked for a very long time about, when you’re in Hollywood — as we all know, it had become about box office. And you chase the box office, and the box office can be very loud and it can become very resounding and it can push you into a category and a corner. This is your lane and this is what you do and this is what Hollywood wants you to do.”

Johnson, who is best known for blockbusters like “Jumanji,” ‘Black Adam” and “Fast and Furious,” said he’s loved making those movies and “they were fun and some were really good and did well, and some not so good.” But he wanted something more.

“I just had this burning desire and voice that was saying, ‘What if there is more and what if I can?’ Sometimes it’s hard for us to know what we’re capable of when we’ve been pigeonholed into something,” he said. I”t’s harder to know what you’re capable of, and sometimes it takes people that you know and love, like Emily and Benny, to say that you can. I looked around a few years ago and I started to think, you know, am I living my dream or am I living other people’s dreams? You come to that recognition and I think you can either fall in line or go, I want to live my dreams now and do what I wanna do … I’ve been scared to go deep and intense and raw until now, until I had this opportunity.”

“The Smashing Machine” chronicles Kerr’s triumphs in the ring, as well as his addiction to painkillers and tumultuous relationship with then-wife Dawn Staples (Blunt). Johnson is nearly unrecognizable in the film, undergoing pounds of prosthetics to portray the hulking two-time UFC Heavyweight champ.

“The Smashing Machine” marks the solo feature directorial debut of Benny Safdie, who worked with his older brother, Josh, on indie favorites like “Uncut Gems” and “Good Time.”

Dwayne Johnson On His ‘Gritty’ Role In ‘The Smashing Machine’

Dwayne Johnson, known for his onscreen fare in action tentpoles like Netflix’s Red Notice and Jumanji reboot films, posited he wasn’t getting the opportunity for more “raw and gritty” roles as he was “too scared” to explore more vulnerable themes.

In an interview with Vanity Fair promoting the forthcoming release of A24‘s The Smashing Machine, the professional wrestler-turned-performer noted he was nervous about portraying legendary MMA fighter and two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion Mark Kerr in the Benny Safdie-helmed biopic.

“It was very real. I had not experienced that in a very, very, very long time, where I was really scared and thinking, I don’t know if I can do this. Can I do this?” he said. “I realized that maybe these opportunities weren’t coming my way because I was too scared to explore this stuff.”

Johnson added, “I was so hungry for an opportunity to do something raw and gritty and rip myself open. And all of a sudden, Smashing Machine comes along.”

For the role, the Moana actor explained he had to don over a dozen prosthetics to portray the gentle giant known for his fighting prowess: “I just sat in front of that mirror for three to four hours and watched it all change. There were about 13 or 14 different prosthetics. Subtle, yet I think very impactful,” he said. “By the time I got to set, I was Mark Kerr and I felt it, from how he walked to how he talked and how he looked at life.”

The Smashing Machine, also starring Emily Blunt, will have its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival Sept. 8, before debuting in theaters Oct. 3.

Everybody "Scream": Florence + The Machine Ready New LP

Everybody “Scream”: Florence + The Machine Ready New LP

by jummy84
written by jummy84

As tipped here last week, Florence + the Machine will return with a new album, Everybody Scream, appropriately due for release by Republic on Halloween (Oct. 31). The project’s title track is out now in tandem with a video directed by Autumn De Wilde.

The Florence Welch-led group previously teased a clip of the video in which the vocalist, clad in a red dress, digs a hole in a windy, desolate soundscape and screams upon seeing what’s inside. Everybody Scream was written and produced with assistance from IDLES’ Mark Bowen (who also cameos in the video), the National’s Aaron Dessner and Mitski. Bowen previously teamed with Welch to co-produce a cover of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl” fo the second season of the grunge era-set Showtime series Yellowjackets.

Per a statement, the follow-up to 2022’s Dance Fever “treads through womanhood, partnership, aging and dying [and] exposing the murky in the mundane.”

Florence + the Machine have been off the road for almost a year following the September 2024 performance of their 2009 debut, Lungs, with orchestra at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Welch was onstage in June at the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival for a surprise performance with the Maccabees.
