Though the real Glaisher did take trips in a balloon in order to take measurements, his accomplice on these missions was a man named Henry Tracey Coxwell. Amelia Wren is actually a fictional construct, which director Tom Harper has said is an amalgamation of some real-life figures. Jones told USA Today that one of her biggest inspirations for the role was Sophie Blanchard, a French aeronaut. She said, “She was the first woman to fly solo and fly at night and she used to set off fireworks from her balloon, so I very much had her in my mind as I was making it....

Bertrand Russell… once wrote that the people in a democracy tend to think they have less to fear from a stupid man than from an intelligent one. We never manage to say anything new when we get onto the subject of my inadequacy and your … what shall we call it this time? Athleticism? Since, according to the ground rules of our marriage we may call it anything except plain old-fashioned promiscuity....

On one release of the book, for example, there was a cover quote reading: “If the Coen brothers want their next Oscar they should buy the rights to this book.” Other copies of the book featured a synopsis that said the novel had “the twisted intensity of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers.” This is something established right from the opening of the book, which read: “Four hundred or so people lived in Knockemstiff in 1957, nearly all of them connected by blood through one godforsaken calamity or another, be it lust or necessity or just plain ignorance....

CEO Mark Zuckerberg intends to talk about the rebranding and his intention to build a “metaverse” at the company’s annual meeting on October 28, The Verge reported on Tuesday, citing a source with knowledge of the plan. A rebrand could come into effect before then, the report added. Speculation about the rename led to “The Facebook” trending on Google. TheFacebook was the original name of the social media platform, which was launched on February 4, 2004....

The show will now be off-air until Thursday, January 9, 2020, when it will air at its usual time of 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on NBC. International viewers will get the episode the following morning on Netflix.

Unlike Enola, who is from a series of books by Nancy Springer, The Irregulars have their basis in the Sherlock Holmes novels by Arthur Conan Doyle. However, they are very different in these books than they are in the Netflix show. The group, known as the Baker Street Irregulars among fans of Sherlock, appear in two Conan Doyle novels, and one short story. The group makes its first appearance in the 1887 book A Study in Scarlet, where they are described by Dr....

I’ve watched every second because I remember watching Jordan play, and the nostalgia is intoxicating. Younger folks than me watch because they’ve heard stories of Jordan, but never seen him like this. And some people — such as Scott Burrell — watch because, well, they know Jordan and they can see themselves on the television. “I think it’s awesome,” Burrell told Sporting News in a phone interview on Monday. “You see old live footage of when you played with that team, and how it was to play with Michael, what makes Michael great and all the advantages Michael tries to get on people, or what motivates him....

The Lost City features a star-studded cast, led by Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe, who find themselves at the heart of a kidnapping plot in the depths of the jungle. If that wasn’t enough to get you excited, Brad Pitt also makes an appearance in a cameo role. Newsweek has everything you need to know about The Lost City, including its release date, cast, trailer, plot and more....

Twitter users believe they saw the recording equipment briefly appearing at the top of their screens in last week’s episode (Chapter 4: Sanctuary) in a scene featuring the titular Mandalorian—played by Pedro Pascal—and a villager named Omera (Julia Jones). It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment but fans seized on the apparent error. “Anyone else catch the boom mic in The Mandalorian at the top right of episode 4!?” wrote Twitter user Angel Amaral....

The two-hour grand finale of the Fox singing competition saw the Harp costume take on the Lambs in a battle for the win. At the end of the episode, Harp was declared the winner and the famous face behind the mask was revealed to be actress and singer Amber Riley.

In a lengthy Twitter thread for Netflix Film, the streaming service broke down the film as a trans-narrative, where the company also shared the video of Wachowski speaking about the film. Wachowski came out as trans in 2016, four years after her sister and co-director Lana Wachowski made her first public appearance as a trans woman. Vulture summed up The Matrix’s narrative shortly in a 2019 analysis. “Neo has dysphoria....

But the NFF deputy boss denied such speculations, reiterating the body’s confidence in Rohr’s ability to lead the team past Group D. “On whether we [NFF] queried Rohr? Nobody has queried the coach,” Akinwunmi told media on Tuesday in Saint Petersburg. “The Nigeria Football Federation are solidly behind the coach. We have full confidence in him and believe he will qualify us to the next round the same way he qualified us to get here in the first place....

Some fans might find themselves confused about why Netflix has canceled The October Faction, after it seemed to be a popular show for the streamer. Though the service does not release much data about how many people watch its shows, Broadcasting + Cable reported that the show was one of the most-binged shows in February alongside big hitters like The Good Place, The Ranch and Grace and Frankie. However, though the show was watched by a lot of people, it is unclear how many of them actually enjoyed it....

The season ended with Jack Morton (Jake Manley) carrying her lifeless body into the woods with the powerful spell book from Season 1, the Vade Maecum. Though the show has previously killed off characters for good, like Jack’s grandfather Peter Morton (Matt Frewer), fans should not be too worried that Alyssa is gone forever. Speaking to TVinsider, The Order creator Dennis Heaton said: “It’s a show about magic. How dead is anybody?...

Based on the Broadway musical of the same name, the Netflix movie stars Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and James Corden and tells the story of four vain Broadway actors who come to an Indiana high school to help a young lesbian go to prom with her girlfriend despite the protestations of her fellow students and the PTA. And if they get a little good press to help their flagging careers on the way, then all the better....

NETANYAHU: I have no doubt that we will win. A majority of the people support our positions on protecting the country, protecting Jerusalem and insisting on a peace [agreement] that is fulfilled by our Palestinian partners. That’s where most Israelis agree with me: they all share fervently the hope for peace, but they have a tough-minded realism about the fact that this requires tough negotiations and continuous insistence on compliance....

Newsweek: What do you want to achieve by going on a hunger strike? AKBAR GANJI: We chose three detainees from three different movements as the symbols of the political prisoners in the Iran and are staging a hunger strike to defend them.

The Real Madrid midfielder, who scored three goals in 23 appearances for the club this season in La Liga, picked up goals in the 16th, 54th, and 72nd minutes of Spain’s 5-0 win over Macedonia in the UEFA Under-21 tournament. The highlight of the evening was a beautiful curling shot from distance that just tucked under the crossbar in the top corner. Manchester City closing in on Dani Alves...
