How I Spend It: Massimo Alba dresses Bond, but his heart belongs to Fellini
I’m a big-screen person, and I’ve followed with horror the worldwide erosion of the cinematic experience. More power to Netflix but I worry about the post-pandemic scenario for movie theatres. The cinema auditorium is irreplaceable: the screen, the sound, the immersive experience, the inability to “press pause” – we’re not in charge in a theatre. āļŠāļĨāđ‡āļ­āļ•āđāļ•āļāļ‡āđˆāļēāļĒ

The Many Saints of Newark — Sopranos prequel is a gamble that pays off
Fade in: a graveyard. Where else would The Many Saints of Newark begin? For eight years and six seasons, The Sopranos killed off characters with the shrugging dispassion of Death himself. Now a movie has been made from that mother of all TV shows. Among New Jersey headstones, the voice of one of the departed picks up the thread. Not that the story continues — not quite. We are spirited backwards. The film is a prequel, set in 1967. The summer of love, someone says, like a punchline. āļŠāļĨāđ‡āļ­āļ•pg

The atmosphere was already tense when Canelo and Plant when eyeball to eyeball, both muttering insults to each other.
Canelo aggressively shoved Plant backwards. Plant then threw the first punch and Canelo responded by throwing a shot of his own until they were separated by security. āļāļēāļĢāļžāļ™āļąāļ™āļ­āļ­āļ™āđ„āļĨāļ™āđŒ

Generation X are heavy, risky drinkers. Will anything ever persuade us to stop?
My first job in journalism was editing a free magazine called Rasp. In 1995, we ran a competition for a year’s supply of Two Dogs lemon brew, the Australian alcopop. Two Dogs tried to send us 365 bottles, and I negotiated them up to 1,000, indignant that a bottle a day could constitute a “supply”. It is the only time I’ve ever played hardball. Nobody entered the competition because we didn’t have any readers, and nor did we have any staff. The two of us, me and the designer, drank the whole lot in the space of two months. A constant drip feed of 4.5% ABV, all day. If anybody asked – there was a much larger team upstairs running TNT, a freesheet for expat Australians – we’d say it was a British tradition, going back to medieval times, when workers would sip ale because of the contaminated water supply. “But medieval ale would have been more like 0.5%,” they might have protested, except they were also constantly drunk, and at lunchtime we’d all go to the pub, 60 people in crocodile formation marching down the street, like a misbegotten nursery outing. āļŠāļĨāđ‡āļ­āļ•āđāļ•āļāļ‡āđˆāļēāļĒ

‘Don’t talk about my mom’: Canelo and Plant trade blows before bout
Canelo Álvarez and Caleb Plant couldn’t wait until 6 November to start throwing hands.
The super middleweight champions traded blows at their news conference Tuesday to promote their upcoming title unification bout, and the exchange left Plant with a cut under his right eye.
The fighters scuffled after exchanging verbal barbs during the ceremonial faceoff before the news conference began in the garden of the Beverly Hilton. Apparently in response to a comment from Plant about Álvarez’s mother, the Mexican superstar knocked Plant backward with a two-handed shove. āļšāļēāļ„āļēāļĢāđˆāļē pantip

Morale-boosting Metz win for Andy Murray
The Scot looked set to pay the price for failing to convert a series of break point chances before he found his range to dispatch the world number 26 4-6 6-3 6-2.
Murray had pushed world number three Stefano Tsitsipas to five sets in the first round of the US Open last month, before a low-key defeat in a Challenger in Rennes last week. āļšāļēāļ„āļēāļĢāđˆāļē pantip

‘Kena: Bridge Of Spirits’ Reviews Say It’s A PS2 Game, In A Good Way
PlayStation’s cupboard is relatively bare for exclusives this holiday season over the next few months after the delay of Horizon Forbidden West, but they managed to snag some solid releases with the exclusivity of Arkane’s Deathloop, and now Kena: Bridge of Spirits, which comes out today on PS5, PS4 and PC, and despite a bizarre midnight launch day embargo, it’s reviewing well.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits currently has an 85 on Metacritic, unofficially the “really good” cutoff point where infamously, Obsidian was not given a bonus because Fallout: New Vegas got an 84. Anything above an 80 is solid. Anything above an 85 is quite good. And high 80s into the 90s are usually in GOTY talks, or at least on the list. āļ‹āļ·āđ‰āļ­āļŸāļĢāļĩāļŠāļ›āļīāļ™

Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley slammed by ITV viewers over Africa remark
The TV presenter has come under fire after describing Africa as a country during a discussion about Vaccines abroad with Gordon Brown.
While discussing the vaccine rollout to other countries, Richard said: "It's not just loading these boxes onto planes and flying them out to countries like Africa, we've got to have the infrastructure to be able to deliver the jabs haven't we."
Gordon Brown replied: "Yes we've been working on that as well and we're getting the money to give it to African countries so that they can build up their ability to administer the vaccines not just in the cities but in the rural areas and the small towns." āļāļēāļĢāļžāļ™āļąāļ™āļ­āļ­āļ™āđ„āļĨāļ™āđŒ

Kena: Bridge Of Spirits Review - Don't Fear The Reaper
In Kena: Bridge of Spirits, everyday items are imbued with new, unseen emotional significance. A wooden mask is a link to the spirit of the person for whom it was made. Objects like a construction hammer or a box filled with food are tied to memories of people who have been lost. Locations that were once the sites of vibrant and happy times are scarred with the pain and trauma suffered within them. āļŠāļĨāđ‡āļ­āļ•āļ­āļ­āļ™āđ„āļĨāļ™āđŒ

Charlie Webster: ‘I can’t just help one person with my story of abuse - it has to do more’
Since being abused by her athletics coach as a teenager, Charlie Webster has had the same recurring nightmare.
For years, it had abated but, during the making of her compelling documentary Nowhere to Run, it resurfaced, each time playing out in exactly the same way.
In it, she dreams of being forced to go back to train with her ex-coach where she is met by his smirking, laughing expression. āļšāļēāļ„āļēāļĢāđˆāļē pantip

Ted Lasso: What's the big deal about Emmy-winning football comedy?
But that doesn't stop the well-intentioned American coach from attempting to turn around the fortunes of a fictional Premiership team.
His rather unusual, kill-them-with-kindness approach and unconventional coaching style is mocked at first, before he gradually starts to win over the bad-tempered and arrogant players.
The Apple TV comedy became a word-of-mouth hit in the months following its launch last August, and on Sunday it was rewarded with several of the major prizes at the Emmy Awards. āļ‹āļ·āđ‰āļ­āļŸāļĢāļĩāļŠāļ›āļīāļ™
