There are few directors as adept at working across genres as Rian Johnson. Whether it’s noir (Brick), heist (The Brothers Bloom), science-fiction (Looper), blockbuster (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) or mystery (Knives Out), the dual-threat writer/director has quickly proven himself to be a singular talent capable of presenting new and original tales in a world that’s becoming increasingly more dominated by franchises and IP-related fare.

The Best New TV Shows & Movies This Week: 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' 'Better Call Saul,' and More /
For those who really love Better Call Saul, one of the joys of watching the show has to be how the relationship between Kim (Rhea Seehorn) and Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) has grown and evolved over the course of several seasons. Complex, layered, and decidedly real, Jimmy and Kim’s genuine love and addiction for one another has been so wonderful to behold—yet tragic, too. We know that at some point or another as Jimmy inches ever closer to becoming the Saul Goodman we see in Breaking Bad, that the relationship will these two no longer be able to sustain itself. And therein lies the tragedy of Saul—as it was only a matter of time before the melancholy lingering over the edges of the show finally came home to roost.
Want to Elevate Your Formalwear? Here’s How to Wear Cufflinks /
When it comes to men’s formal wear, all the pieces matter. Every single detail builds to something larger. The way your shirt fits under a suit, how the knot of a tie looks when it’s framed by the collar, how those two elements then fold into a more cohesive look — each piece comes together to form a sartorial Voltron. But the one element that’s often overlooked is a pair of cufflinks.
Cufflinks are fairly simplistic in their function. Instead of having a button to fasten your shirt cuff closed, cufflinks have a sort of toggle that slides through a hole that’s open on both sides, functioning as the button. Once you’ve slid it through the opening in the shirt cuff, you flip the toggle closed and your shirt is ready to wear. People prefer cufflinks because they provide yet another way to personalize a suit. Similar to a pocket square, cufflinks allow for a drop of color in an otherwise boring section of your outfit.
