Read this: Lana Del Rey reviewed; X-Factor ousters; Why it’s hard to film in D.C.


Lana Del Rey (Lionel Bonaventure/AFP/Getty Images) “These increasingly violent micro-cycles of hype and backlash are bad for young artists and exhausting for the rest of us.”

— Chris Richards on the whole Lana Del Rey thing. The new album: “irritatingly comatose love songs, but at least we finally have something to talk about.”


(Nino Munoz/Fox)
“Steve Jones was noticeably lacking the carefully tended 26-hour facial growth that is the standard for American reality-show hosts — a clear sign the situation was dire.”

— Lisa de Moraes on the X-Factor ousters.



Location scout John Latenser at the Capitol. (Katherine Frey/The Washington Post) “Baltimore, in particular, is eating the District’s popcorn.”


— Steve Hendrix on why so many Washington movies are filmed not in Washington but in Maryland — because the patchwork of federal/local governance makes it hard for filmmakers to get the money shot.
