By LINDSEY BAHR Do you have a someone in your life who plays Vulture’s Cinematrix game every morning? Or maybe they have the kitchen television turned to Turner Classic Movies all day and make a point of organizing Oscar polls at work? Hate to break it to you: They might be a hard-to-please cinephile. But while you might not want to get into a winless debate over the “Juror No. 2” release or the merits of “Megalopolis” with said person, they don’t have to be hard to buy gifts for. The Associated Press has gathered up some of the best items out there to keep any movie lover stylish and informed. While Christopher Nolan dreams up his next film, fans can tide themselves over by revisiting his modern classic “Interstellar,” which will be back in IMAX theaters on the weekend of Dec. 6, followed by the home release of a new collector’s edition on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray ($59.95). A third disc in the set, available Dec. 10, contains more than two hours of bonus content, like a never-before-seen storyboard sequence, and new interviews with Nolan, producer Emma Thomas and famous fans Peter Jackson and Denis Villeneuve . Elaine May does not give interviews anymore. But thankfully that didn’t deter writer Carrie Courogen, who did a remarkable job stitching together the life of one of our culture’s most fascinating, and prickly, talents. “Miss May Does Not Exist” is full of delightful anecdotes about the sharp and satirical comedian who gained fame as one half of Nichols and May and went on to direct films like “The Heartbreak Kid” and “Mikey and Nicky.” Courogen writes about May’s successes, flops and her legendary scuffles with the Hollywood establishment. It’s a vital companion to Mark Harris’ biography of Mike Nichols . Macmillan. $30. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has an exclusive new “Matrix” sweatshirt for sale in conjunction with its Cyberpunk exhibition. Brain Dead Studios designed and created several items, including the black hoodie ($140), a white rabbit tee ($54) and a pint glass ($18). If you can’t make it to Los Angeles to check out the “Color in Motion” exhibit for yourself, the Academy Museum also has a beautiful new companion book for sale ($55) charting the development of color technology in film and its impact. It includes photos from films like “The Red Shoes,” “Vertigo,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and images of rare prints from the silent era. The Academy Museum Store is having a sale (20% off everything) from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2.

Manhattan’s coolest movie theater is starting a biannual print publication “for cinephiles and cultural connoisseurs alike.” The first issue’s cover art is by cinematographer Ed Lachman (“Carol”), and contributors include the likes of Daniel Clowes, Ari Aster, Steve Martin and Simon Rex. There’s also a conversation with Clint Eastwood. It’s currently available for pre-order and will be in bookstores Dec. 10 for $25 ($15 for Metrograph members). This is not a book about filmmaking styles, camera angles and leadership choices. It’s literally about what directors wear. “How Directors Dress: On Set, in the Edit, and Down the Red Carpet” ($40) has over 200 archival photos of filmmakers in action: Spike Lee in his basketball caps, Sofia Coppola in her Charvet button-ups, Steven Spielberg’s denim on denim and many more. With a forward by the always elegant Joanna Hogg and writing from some of the top fashion journalists, it’s a beautiful look at how filmmakers really dress for work — and might even be a source of inspiration.JOHANNESBURG - The ANC and SAPC held their first bilateral meeting since the May elections. The meeting that took place on Sunday discussed the escalating tensions within the tripartite alliance. Particularly, concerning the ANC's coalition with the Democratic Alliance in the Government of National Unity. The SACP hopes to find common ground with the ANC on issues affecting the alliance. General Secretary Solly Mapaila has described it as a betrayal of the principle of the National Democratic Revolution reflecting on matters including economic policy and transformation. The ANC hopes the engagement with the SACP will iron out outstanding issues. A political analyst says the SACP isn't making it easier for the ANC by constantly making demands that don't offer practical solutions to governance-related matters. Both parties are expected to give an outcome on the matter soon. Meanwhile, ANC spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri says while there's been disagreements between the parties, the alliance stays strong.
Home | Entertainment | Allu Arjuns Legal Team Argues No Fault In Sandhya Theatre Stampede Wins Interim Bail In Telangana High Court Allu Arjun’s legal team argues no fault in Sandhya theatre stampede, wins interim bail in Telangana High Court Telangana High Court had heard at length the arguments of Allu Arjun's legall team, which urged the court to treat the actor as a common man and that none of the criminal sections applied against the Pushpa - 2 actor held ground against him By Telangana Today Published Date - 14 December 2024, 04:23 AM Tollywood actor Allu Arjun Hyderabad: Allu Arjun was granted interim bail for a period of four weeks by the Telangana High Court in the case of Sandhaya theatre stampede case on Friday. Justice Juvvadi Sridevi of the Telangana High Court observed that the actor shall submit a personal bond to an amount of Rs. 50,000 to the Jail Superintendent before his release. Justice Sridevi held prima facie no material on record to attract the offences under Sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 118 (Voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means) of BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita). The judge held with no stretch of imagination the offences can be attributed to the actor. In a jampacked court, the heated arguments went on between the actor legal team lead by senior counsel S Niranjan Reddy and the State represented by the Public Prosecutor Palle Nageshwar Rao and his team. The hearing went on beyond usual court time (4:15 pm) till 5:30 pm. The actor has approached court in a lunch motion moved unconventionally at around 1:30 pm and 2:15 pm. While the petitioner counsel argued that court has power to exercise such power, the public prosecutor vehemently opposed such special treatment to the actor and requested the court to reject lunch motion. He also pointed out, when all young advocates request for lunch motion was rejected earlier in the day at 10:30 am, the court should not entertain lunch motion of the actor on par with common citizens. Treat Allu Arjun as common man Justice Sridevi at the first instance refused to accept the urgent hearing of case, stating that it would send a wrong message to common people and she said “I would have considered if it was a common mans case”. However, she later conceded to accept the urgency in the case when Allu Arjuns counsel requested the court to treat him as a common man. It was also clarified by the judge that, she could take up the case as it was filed two days ago and the connected case filed by the Sandhya theatre management was under consideration before her today. It was brought to the notice of the court that, they had every sympathy with the deceased family and the production unit of the ‘Pushpa 2, The Rule’ movie has extended financial aid for the treatment of the deceased baby. Niranjan Reddy told court, the government gave permission to run additional shows at the theatre, the police were informed about the event on December 4 and actor participation. Allu Arjun entered only at 9:40 pm even according to police investigation report, which the counsel said is to ensure the crowd would settle by the movie start time at 9:30 pm. He further emphasised, the actor directly went to first floor balcony and the incident took place in the lower balcony which are not connected and argued that, the allegation of actors security pushing crowd leading to pressure on the lower balcony is unsustainable. Though no one can be blamed for such unfortunate incidents, in fact the police officials who had prior information and were present there are to be blamed for mis management of the event. May be the police were also watching the actor on first floor without taking care of the lower balcony the counsel added criticising police. The judge also orally commented, the insufficient police personnel could be the reason for stampede. He said, even when political parties conduct rallies, the leaders have knowledge that people may die in accidents and such incidents regularly occur. He also referred to an incident in which 30 people died when they came to see the Chief Minister at a Pushkaram. The government allowed increase of ticket price of which it gets 28 percent as tax, the government has allowed to run shows and when an incident occurred, instead of taking responsibility the government is blaming everybody else, Niranjan Reddy argued. Government was aware that the actor had nothing to do, “but this arrest is all about sensationalism”, he commented. Arguing that none of the ingredients of the offences levelled are attracted against the actor, the counsel requested the court to invoke its extraordinary jurisdiction to mould the relief in the quash petition and grant interim bail for the time being. Palle Nageshwar Rao on the other hand argued, the actor was aware of the situation, despite knowing very well the situation was not under control, he arrived at the theatre becoming reason for the incident. Though he stated police have informed the theatre and actor not to be present at the event, he could not place any such communication made before the court. The Memo was issued by the government only to permit the shows, not to run the events with actors. The theatre made a representation to provide extra bandobast but the same was not considered by the police, Nageshear Rao said and contended that actor and theatre were negligent as such were responsible for the incident. He said offences levelled were serious, one person has lost life and baby was still on ventilator getting treatment and pleaded the court not to grant any relief at this stage. He also told court that he was unable to get complete instructions due to shortage of time. Justice Sridevi hearing both parties at length, held there was no prima facie case against the actor or the seven accused related the management of the Sandhya theatre. The judge following the Apex court judgment in the Arnab Goswami case granted interim bail to Allu Arjun and the accused 1 and 2 both named Agamati Ram Reddy. The judge further directed police not to take any coercive steps against the five other persons of the management. Petitioners may approach bail court in the four weeks time for regular bail. The judge has adjourned the quash petitions for the counter of the government.

Rarely does a college basketball game provide such stark contrast between the sport's haves and have-nots as when Jackson State faces No. 9 Kentucky on Friday in Lexington, Ky. While Kentucky claims eight NCAA Tournament crowns and the most wins in college basketball history, Jackson State has never won an NCAA Tournament game and enters the matchup looking for its first win of the season. Impressive tradition and current record aside, Kentucky (4-0) returned no scholarship players from last season's team that was knocked off by Oakland in the NCAA Tournament. New coach Mark Pope and his essentially all-new Wildcats are off to a promising start. Through four games, Kentucky is averaging 94.3 points per game, and with 11.5 3-pointers made per game, the team is on pace to set a school record from long distance. The Wildcats boast six double-figure scorers with transfer guards Otega Oweh (from Oklahoma, 15.0 ppg) and Koby Brea (from Dayton, 14.5 ppg) leading the team. The Wildcats defeated Duke 77-72 on Nov. 12 but showed few signs of an emotional letdown in Tuesday's 97-68 win over a Lipscomb team picked to win the Atlantic Sun Conference in the preseason. Kentucky drained a dozen 3-pointers while outrebounding their visitors 43-28. Guard Jaxson Robinson, held to a single point by Duke, dropped 20 points to lead the Kentucky attack. Afterward, Pope praised his team's focus, saying, "The last game was over and it was kind of on to, ‘How do we get better?' That's the only thing we talk about." Lipscomb coach Lennie Acuff also delivered a ringing endorsement, calling Kentucky "the best offensive Power Four team we've played in my six years at Lipscomb." Jackson State (0-5) and third-year coach Mo Williams are looking for something positive to build upon. Not only are the Tigers winless, but they have lost each game by nine or more points. Sophomore guard Jayme Mitchell Jr. (13.8 ppg) is the leading scorer, but the team shoots just 35.8 percent while allowing opponents to shoot 52.3 percent. The Tigers played on Wednesday at Western Kentucky, where they lost 79-62. Reserve Tamarion Hoover had a breakout game with 18 points to lead Jackson State, but the host Hilltoppers canned 14 3-point shots and outrebounded the Tigers 42-35 to grab the win. Earlier, Williams, who played against Kentucky while a student at Alabama, admitted the difficulties of a challenging nonconference schedule for his team. "Our goal is not to win 13 nonconference games," Williams said. "We're already at a disadvantage in that regard. We use these games to get us ready for conference play and for March Madness." Jackson State has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2007. The Tigers had a perfect regular-season record (11-0) in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in 2020-21 but lost in the league tournament. Kentucky has never played Jackson State before, but the game is being billed as part of a Unity Series of matchups in which Kentucky hosts members of the SWAC to raise awareness of Historical Black Colleges and Universities and provide funds for those schools. Past Unity Series opponents have been Southern in December 2021 and Florida A&M in December 2022. --Field Level MediaWhile the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale events are arguably the best times of the year to pick up most gadgets, they’re also a great time to save on subscriptions and services you may already have or that you’ve been wanting to try.

Share Tweet Share Share Email You’ll never believe this based on their recent price action, but Stellar ( XLM) and Litecoin ( LTC) were once mainstays among the top 20 crypto leaders by market capitalization. But that was a good seven years ago—back when Stellar and Litecoin’s price action were at all-time highs. Fast forward to today, and Stellar and Litecoin have fallen precipitously out of the top 20 crypto list, remaining but mere shadows of their former selves even as the market turns bullish. The prognosis is better for innovative newcomers with unlimited upside to pump—one of which is multichain DeFi protocol Lunex Network . Interest in Lunex presale moons amid bullish market sentiment DeFi is being tipped for a major comeback in 2025. That makes investing in undervalued gems with significant potential to capture the incoming liquidity explosion in the sector the big-brained play. One of those opportunities appears to have arrived with the launch of the cross-chain DeFi protocol Lunex Network , which aims to solve the interoperability hurdle that has hampered the wider adoption of blockchain technology. Through the self-custodial Lunex Wallet, users will be able to swap and trade 50,000 tokens across 40 blockchains, reducing the friction involved with having to manually perform the tedious task of connecting your wallet to a potentially vulnerable bridge and wrap your tokens to trade them on the blockchain of your choice. With Lunex Network, every aspect of managing your portfolio—staking, swapping, and interacting with Web3 protocols—is at your fingertips. Through its ability to streamline the Web3 and DeFi user experience, Lunex Network could be in line to play a role in onboarding new users. In turn, that could translate to a parabolic pump for its native token, $LNEX, in 2025. Given its low cap status, Lunex can very well outperform big caps in the list of top 20 crypto tokens by market cap, making it an intriguing play for big game hunters. Can Litecoin price break into the top 20 crypto by market cap? Litecoin hasn’t been “right” since Bitcoin minted its historic all-time high in 2021. Prior to Bitcoin’s first “moon,” Litecoin prices had generally followed the same chart as Bitcoin. Since then, however, Litecoin prices have diverged, leading to a sensational crash. That makes a retest of its 2021 all-time high of $410 look unlikely. Nevertheless, Litecoin ‘s utility for online payments has kept it hovering within earshot of the top 20 crypto list, even as it remains 79% below its all-time high. Stellar picks up the pace in November Stellar is another blast from the past that’s trying to make a comeback in 2024. Once written off as a relic of a bygone era, Stellar defied expectations by enabling smart contracts on its blockchain earlier this year. That has seemed to strike a chord with the investing public. In the past 30 days, Stellar has been on a blistering 150% gain, outpacing even Bitcoin in terms of monthly growth. Between Stellar and Litecoin , the former has more going for it to break into the top 20 crypto list. However, if we’re talking about potential gains, Lunex Network has the higher upside to go on a parabolic run compared to Stellar and Litecoin—making it the best choice for investors looking to make a profit with a small-cap blue chip.
