“Quarry” isn’t coming back, as Cinemax has canceled the crime series after one season.
Co-creator Michael D. Fuller announced the news on Wednesday in a blog post entitled “Goodbye Cruel World.”
“And so, after a protracted and agonizing process, we have final confirmation that ‘Quarry’ will not be returning to television,” Fuller wrote. “There were several factors that contributed to the show’s ultimate fate, but a regime change at HBO and a re-(re?)-branding at Cinemax were of particular significance; we attempted to find another home for the show but were unable to do so.”...

Let’s just not talk about the notorious Columbus incident, a stain of Elvis Costello’s career more ghastly than 2003’s North and apparently more permanent than 1984’s Goodbye Cruel World. Instead, let’s talk about what happened after the Brit got drunk in America, referred to a few of his R&B heroes with the worst word imaginable, and got his ass handed to him by a folk rocker. “It took a while for the story to make the papers,” he writes in his memoir out this week, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, “but rather than being shrugged off as some drunken idiocy, it seems there were plenty of informants anxious to make sure everyone knew I should be reviled.” He was assigned two off-duty NYC cops as bodyguards, who accompanied him on his tour through the Colonies. As for Costello himself: “The only comment made from the stage was...

Sometimes going into a movie not knowing what to expect can be the best way to do it. Even going in with a basic idea of the plot but no clue as to what the film will be like tonally can intensify your overall opinion about the film. That was certainly the case for the Mexican film Goodbye Cruel World, a film about a man whose terrible outcomes turn into our comedic pleasures.

University of Texas alum and writer/director Jack Zagha Kababie makes his feature film debut at the Austin Film Festival this year with Adios Mundo Cruel (Goodbye Cruel World), a delightfully understated dark comedy from Mexico. Reminiscent of Jean Pierre-Jeunet's film Micmacs, the story focuses on an individual who through an unfortunate turn of events is pulled into a ragtag group of thieves and their world of crime. However, Adios Mundo Cruel is much more subtle and accessible to audiences who are able to identify to the main character's job situation and marriage woes.
Angel (Carlos Alberto Orozco) is a hard-working, mild-mannered accountant who wants nothing more than to provide for his family. His wife Claudia (Adriana Louvier) is content to stay home and watch soap operas all day -- so much so that any news of the day is about her favorite soap's character Luis Armando (Rafael Amaya).
