The 2024 Music Television Video Music Awards (VMAs) was an electrifying fusion of spectacle, drama and major cultural moments that will be replayed and memed for months to come. Held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, the night was nothing short of a pop-culture explosion, an extravaganza where music's biggest stars basked in their own victories and set the stage on fire (sometimes literally). In true VMAs fashion, there was more star power than a supernova, and I was there to witness it all.

Are you constantly surrounded by “Ugly” people? Do you ever fantasize about what you would look like with yellow eyes? Have you ever given your best friend a special, on-the-nose nickname derived from their biggest insecurity?

On the night of Sept. 12, I went downtown with a few friends and a camera in hand. We had seen the flyers and social media posts, with ‘Bromo Art Walk’ pasted in big bubble letters and a short blurb below advertising a night of creative performances and open galleries. Ever eager to get a taste of artistic expression on a school night, we boarded the Purple Line and headed into the arts district.

This summer was a season to remember for the film community. Film after film was released, box office records were broken and people swarmed the movie theaters, eager to watch the sequels of their favorite childhood films, like Inside Out 2, or simply to see a shirtless Hugh Jackman. This summer served as our yearly reminder that film is not dead, no matter what Variety says.

The first traces of autumn are here. Sprays of red and orange have appeared on the trees along St. Paul Street, like first stars in the night sky. The air still smells like summer, though, and most days have been balmy. To accompany this season of indeterminate moods, the Arts & Entertainment section is here with a list of this week’s media recommendations. A few are spooky if you want to lean into the fall atmosphere, but many of them still sing the sunny song of summer. All are worth checking out.

The tagline for Sean Wang’s first feature length film Didi, “For anyone who’s ever been a teenager,” couldn’t be more accurate. The film follows Chris Wang, a 13-year-old Taiwanese American, as he goes through his last summer before high school in the mid-2000s.

Four letters on a slime-green square.

We at the Arts & Entertainment section of The News-Letter cordially invite you to step away from the mounting responsibilities of being a Hopkins student and explore pieces of art that catch your interest. My personal recommendations are the Thai drama How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, the quirky speculative novel Sky Full of Elephants (which mainly speculates what America would look like without white people) and English singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse’s second studio album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin. Two monumental rock bands — Pearl Jam and Weezer — are also coming to the DMV in the same week!

The Arts & Entertainment section is starting a new tradition of sharing the soundtracks of our summer break. You’ll see that we are far from single-minded; our picks range from soft bedroom pop to harsh, experimental hip hop. If you aren’t sure of your niche, well, all that’s left is for our talented writers to make their case.

As a new semester begins, so too does the search for new entertainment. It’s an endless endeavor, but fruitful as well. Movies, books and music can be the perfect companions to your thoughts, giving you something to chew on or just to help you relax at the end of the day — that is, if you can squeeze free time into the busy Hopkins lifestyle. We hope you can, because there are so many exciting releases and events happening in the coming week. Whether you’re looking for things to fill your ears or eyes, or just something that isn’t mindless, the Arts section is here with a curated list of media for you to check out.

Kendrick Lamar has won the biggest feud in the history of rap.

It’s a rare sight to see Hopkins students so enthused by the arts. Theater gains attention mostly by faculty and alumni, and while the University’s plethora of acapella groups offer a great artistic community, their shows are scattered and inconsistent. One might even point to the Spring Fair Concert as evidence for a perceived interest in the arts by the student body, but as far as student performances go, there is only one main event which seems to receive broad interest across all demographics: the “Spring Show,” organized by WJHU Radio.

The 2024 Spring Fair Concert at Hopkins, featuring singer-rapper Flo Milli, was electrifying. The initial announcement of her as the main Spring Fair Concert artist sparked some unhappy discourse among students, but those who attended the event went home exhilarated by an extremely fun performance.

Do I even need to add a hook to this article? You know who she is, and as much as you may have tried to avoid it, you’ve heard of this album.

How many different textures can you see in a night? How many patterns and shapes? How did the designer think of this? Was this show everything they imagined? Is this something you could ever even imagine without seeing it first?

I recently read a short story by Ted Thompson for my Intermediate Fiction course called “The Electric Slide.” The narrator of this story deals with random bouts of dementia, which he experiences as something akin to time travel — one night he’s in his first year of college, the next morning he wakes up years later, struggling to graduate while his peers have already gotten their diplomas and started their careers.

I love an angsty musical. There is nothing more entertaining to me than actors breaking into fully choreographed show tunes in the middle of dramatic, emotional scenes. The more pirouettes and tap dance numbers, the better. Nothing says emotional carnage like jazz hands. I blame watching High School Musical 2 at a young and impressionable age.

On March 22, a bomb was dropped — or rather, a bar. To be specific:

There is one specific thing Fast Five and Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part I have in common... any guesses?

As the weather starts to get warmer, the end of the semester is finally in sight!
