does Gen Z like?Not much. A depressing new study found that stick-in-the-mud young people have decided they’re through with entertainment that depicts sex and romantic relationships.Oh, terrific. More of their buzzkilling nonsense.
A hefty 51.5% of respondents aged 10 to 24 said that instead of heat they want movies and TV shows about those scintillating and gripping, er, platonic friendships.You know, “When Harry Met Sally for a Weekly Half-Hour Coffee to Discuss Work” or “Like Actually.” And my personal favorite, “Absolutely Nothing Happened One Night.”This chic puritanism comes one year after the same surveying organization, UCLA, reported that 13-to-18-year olds also reject “aspirational stories” — a k a anything to do with the rich and famous.With all this pickiness, what will they actually watch? A screensaver?So far, we’ve eliminated romance, wealth and power. Sorry, “Yellowstone,” “The Crown,” “Succession” and “House of the Dragon” (can’t imagine teens are clamoring to binge a tale of prestigious royal incest).

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Thanksgiving,” a cheerfully debased — or maybe I should say de-basted — slasher film directed by Eli Roth, marks the second time that one of the luscious mock trailers from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s “Grindhouse” has been spun into a feature film. The first such movie, Rodriguez’s “Machete,” worked better than anyone might have expected; it gave Danny Trejo perhaps the best lead role of his career, and it was tasty enough in its high-zooming vengeful action hyperbole to spawn a sequel. Roth’s trailer for “Thanksgiving,” on the other hand, was a bloody perfect, outrageously transgressive parody of the holiday horror genre that had long gone out of style.
