It’s 1942, and Simon gives us a nuclear family that clearly has some protons missing. Grandma Kurnitz (Irene Worth) is a fearsome German-Jewish tyrant who’s terrorized her children, now grown: Bella (Mercedes Ruehl) is a good-hearted soul who’s not right in the head. Gert (Lauren Klein) is so nervous that she sometimes forgets to stop talking when she inhales, so that her speech is punctuated by death rattles of fear....
In L.A. Story, Steve Martin rushes in where wise men fear to tread and makes merry sport with the city of the angels. As both the writer and star, Martin brings a puckish sense of irony that sets the right tone of sunny, silly disenchantment: the movie’s a fond sendup. It’s also Martin’s most personal film: call it his sunbaked version of “Annie Hall.” He plays antic TV weatherman Harris K....
The contract’s fine print focused on just a few areas of law, like those involving defective products. But big business and other groups worried about being sued privately warned that the GOP would get only one shot at legal reform and should, as a key lobbyist said, ““go for the nuclear bomb.’’ So the House Republican leadership plans to offer a radical floor amendment clamping down on lawsuits over medical malpractice, auto accidents, airline crashes, sexual harassment and all other personal-injury (or ““tort’’) cases....
Both the sides have played three matches so far with Gokulam on two and Shillong on three points respectively. While Shillong won their opening game at home in an impressive display against Aizawl, they were humbled by Quess East Bengal and the Indian Arrows thereafter. What will worry coach Alison Kharsyntiew more, is the way his side travelled to hot and humid Cuttack to go down to the Arrows, with similar weather expected in India’s southernmost state....
India’s junior boxers also performed exceptionally well to claim 13 medals, six of them gold, while senior pro L Sarita Devi (60kg) ended with a bronze. Mary Kom, returning to the ring after recovering from some niggles that kept her out of the Asian Games in Jakarta, was up against Kazakhstan’s Aigerim Kassanayeva and prevailed 5-0 with a fine tactical performance. Her other two gold medals this year came in the India Open in Delhi and the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast....
On Sunday, Reddit user u/carissueaita shared the story on the popular forum r/AmITheA**hole where it has received thousands of upvotes and comments. The 28-year-old man explained that he has been with his girlfriend for two years. “We don’t live together but she spends a lot of time at my place because she has roommates,” he said. “I have a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger, it’s kind of broken down and I bought it really cheap a few years ago....
The France international made the switch from the Gunners to their London rivals in a £18 million move as Arsenal brought in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund. Giroud only joined Chelsea on January 31, but he has made four starts and a further three appearances from the bench. And while Chelsea were ultimately knocked out from the Champions League in a 3-0 defeat at the Camp Nou by the La Liga leaders, Conte opted for Giroud ahead of Alvaro Morata in the crucial second leg....

While attending Trump’s New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, Giuliani was asked about his client’s upcoming Senate impeachment hearing. “I would testify,” he said, adding that he’d “do demonstrations” and would “love to try the case.” Despite his remarks, Giuliani has not been floated to be part of the president’s defense team. The House voted to pass both articles of impeachment against Trump—abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—in mid-December....
Malinga led from the front as he provided the early breakthrough before Sandeep Lamichhane’s spell of 3/31 helped the Tigers restrict CWIB to 162. Shamar Springer top-scored with a fluent and good-looking 62 and he was the one who held the innings together. Sunil Narine then came and scored a blistering 61 and almost killed the chase. Moises Henriques, Sikandar Raza and Najibullah Zadran contributed as the Tigers won their second game and ended the season on a positive note....

Since post-launch updates have largely been replaced by paid DLC, it’s great to see a studio going above and beyond to deliver extra content for their game — especially when the results are as strange and brilliant as the upcoming MMO update for the ever-eccentric Goat Simulator. The 1.2 patch for the game, set to go live later this week, will take the titular goat on his greatest adventure yet....
Emmy Loves Lucci TV’s longest-running soapopera is now history. Not “The Guiding Light”–with us ever since 1952–but Susan Lucci’s 19-year quest for an Emmy as best daytime actress. Lucci (villainess Erica Kane in “All My Children”) stomped out of the 1982 ceremony weeping; she’s spoofed her losing streak on “Saturday Night Live” and in an ad for a sugar substitute. So how sweet was victory? “I never truly believed this would happen,” Lucci said–weeping....
Way before his adventure with his son through Norse mythology, Kratos had a fight to pick with the Olympians who had wronged him time and time again. From ascending to the literal title of God of War by killing Ares, to dying by the hands of his own father, Zeus, Kratos never had it easy while existing in Greek mythology. God of War 3 released on the PS3 in 2010 and brought that Kratos’ Greek mythology story to a close, ending on a cliffhanger that set up the 2018 reboot....
In a video released by Sony, the Director of Cinematography on God of War, Dori Arazi, discusses the game’s visuals and design, specifically what is described as the “Single-Shot Effect,” where the game comes across as a completely immersive experience, void of cuts, errors or load screens. Throughout the video, Arazi explains how the “Single-Shot Effect” came together and how difficult of a process it was. The video features behind-the-scenes footage showing how the motion-capture actors needed to deliver their performance in basically one take, all while Arazi followed them with the camera, careful not to make any mistakes....
Having originally been a PS4 title, the game was created with the DualShock 4 in mind, but the mouse and keyboard experience in God of War actually works surprisingly well too. With this in mind, fans without a gamepad or controller can rest easy, though that’s not to say that using a controller isn’t still the ideal way to play.
