Three years after the pandemic brought Hollywood to a standstill, the film and TV industry has again ground to a halt NEW YORK -- To get a sense of just how much animosity is flying around Hollywood these days, watch how Ron Perlman responded to a report that the studios aimed to prolong a strike long enough for writers to lose their homes. Perlman, the hulking, gravel-voiced actor of “Hellboy,” leaned into the camera in a since-deleted Instagram live video to vent his anger. “Listen to me, mother-(expletive),” Perlman said. “There’s a lot of ways to lose your house.” Three years after the pandemic brought Hollywood to a standstill, the film and TV industry has again ground to a halt. This time, though, the industry is engaged in a bitter battle over how streaming — after advancing rapidly during the pandemic — has upended the economics of entertainment. Having weathered plague, Hollywood is now fully at war in its own “Apocalypse Now” double feature. When tens of thousands Screen Acto...

The last-placed team in the MLS Eastern Conference standings has signed a new player who is set to hugely increase the profile of soccer in the United States — global superstar Lionel Messi. Messi is arguably (and there have been many arguments!) the greatest player of his generation and, unlike many of the big-name players who ended their careers in America in the past, he is still operating at an extremely high level at the age of 36, as demonstrated by him being named FIFA men’s player of the year for 2022. His signing was made official this weekend and is a real coup for the Inter Miami franchise co-owned by former England star David Beckham. He is set to be presented to fans at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale at 8:00 pm ET on Sunday and make his Miami debut against LIGA MX club Cruz Azul on Friday night in the Leagues Cup. So what can American soccer fans expect to see and what are the odds that the soccer GOAT can bring success to the team at the bottom of t...

Baltimore leaders are condemning what they called a “catastrophic breakdown” in how city police responded to 911 calls leading up to a mass shooting at a neighborhood block party earlier this month BALTIMORE -- Nearly three hours before a mass shooting turned a south Baltimore neighborhood block party into a scene of terror and bloodshed, the city’s police department received a call about hundreds of partygoers armed with guns and knives — but on-duty officers decided no police services were required. The decision contributed to a “catastrophic breakdown” in police communication and response during the hours leading up to the July 2 shooting, top city officials said at a city council hearing Thursday evening. Baltimore’s troubled history with policing was thrust into the national spotlight years ago following the 2015 death of Freddie Gray in police custody. Since then, city leaders have focused on reforming the Baltimore Police Department and repairing public trust, especially within ...

Countries in southern Europe are preparing emergency measures at the start of a heat wave that is expected to push temperatures to 45 degrees Celsius (113F) in some areas over the next few days ATHENS, Greece -- Tourists in central Athens huddled under mist machines and zoo Animals in Madrid were fed fruit popsicles Thursday as southern Europeans suffered through a heat wave that was projected to get much worse heading into the weekend. Temperatures in parts of Mediterranean Europe were forecast to reach as high as 45 degrees Celsius (113 F) starting Friday. The high-pressure system affecting the region, which crossed the Mediterranean from north Africa, has been named Cerberus after the three-headed dog in ancient Greek mythology who guarded the gates to the underworld. Officials in several countries were preparing emergency measures, cellphone alerts and adjustments to staffing levels. In Athens and other Greek cities, working hours were changed for the public sector and many bus...

Hundreds have lined the main street of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, as a truck carrying 30 coffins passed on its way to Srebrenica, where newly identified victims of Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since World War II will be buried on the 28th an... SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- Hundreds lined the Bosnian capital's main street Sunday as a truck carrying 30 coffins passed on its way to Srebrenica, where newly identified victims of Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since World War II will be buried on the 28th anniversary of the massacre . As the truck, covered with a huge Bosnian flag, briefly stopped in front of the country’s presidential building, members of the crowd tucked flowers into the canvas hiding the remains of victims found in mass graves and identified through DNA analysis. “It is devastatingly sad that hundreds of victims still have not been found and that some people still deny the genocide (in Srebrenica),” said Ramiza Gandic, who came to pay her respects....

David de Gea leaves Manchester United a legend. His consistent heroics have endeared him to the Old Trafford crowd just as much as the great shot-stoppers who have come before and his legacy with the Red Devils is undoubtedly one built on sublime performances, improbable saves and wondrous reflexes. But it wasn't guaranteed to be this way. After having arrived from Atletico Madrid in 2011, De Gea was expected to adjust to life in England seamlessly. If he was good enough for Sir Alex Ferguson, he was good enough for Old Trafford. However, the first few years of De Gea's time in Manchester were far from smooth sailing. The Spaniard's erratic displays and frequent errors shone a dazzling spotlight on him, one which could have blinded the youngster. He struggled to cope with the increased physicality and pace of English football and it almost sunk him. High-profile gaffes early in his United career put immense pressure on his shoulders, but the weight didn't prove too muc...

The UEFA Super Cup always comes around sooner than expected and acts as the traditional curtain-raiser for European football each season. The match is contested each year by the previous campaign's Champions League and Europa League winners and is one of the earliest ways to see if a team has built on its success or allowed standards to slip. This year, Manchester City and Sevilla are the two teams facing off at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis in Piraeus, Greece. City are playing in the Super Cup for the first time, while Sevilla have won the Europa League seven times and seen it all before.
