Guy Ritchie loves movies about rough-and-tumble bros—or, rather, blokes—and at its best, his work generates amusing excitement from having tough guys band together to complete intricate and daring action-adventure missions.

It’s always a little sad when someone doesn’t understand that everyone’s laughing at them, not with them. You kind of want to tell them about the behind-the-scenes giggles, but then if you do tell them, you have to see the sad look reach across their eyes.

Luckily, a third awful day will not be added to that list, as Kardashian’s character has returned to AHS: Delicate after last week’s drought. Suddenly, everything is right in the world again, at least for the 29 minutes of the one-hour time slot where the show was actually playing. Читать дальше...

Bryan Kohberger has an alibi.

That’s what lawyers for the accused quadruple murderer said in a court filing Wednesday, claiming he was “out driving” in order to “see the moon and stars” on the night four University of Idaho students were brutally stabbed to death at a house near the school’s Moscow, Idaho campus in 2022.

They plan to use cellphone tower data to argue that Kohberger was not at the home in question on the night of the murders, and was instead driving down a nearby road at the time. Читать дальше...

There’s certainly been a lot of talk about Barron Trump’s impending graduation from his exclusive Florida high school, with daddy Donald complaining bigly that the criminal trial underway in Manhattan will keep him from attending the ceremony.
