The domestic violence trial of Jonathan Majors has been delayed to September. The 33-year-old actor returned to court on Thursday for what was supposed to be the start of the trial, but the prosecution said it was not ready because it’s still obtaining discovery.
Majors, wearing a grey suit, entered the courtroom holding hands with girlfriend Meagan Good. He carried a bible and notebook as he approached the bench at 9:42 a.m. with his criminal defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry. She alleged the delay is because the prosecutors weren’t “timely” in turning over evidence. A new trial date has been set for Sept. 6.
Majors was arrested in Manhattan on March 25 and was charged with accounts of assault and aggravated harassment following an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend at the time, Grace Jabbari. At the time of arrest, a then-unnamed woman told officers that she was assaulted and...

A New York City principal is under investigation by city officials after allegedly blocking a Black History lesson. Protestors, including parents and educators, gathered at the school I.S. 224, which is comprised of 95% black and Hispanic students, at the start of the school day and again at the end demanding the termination of Principal Patricia Catania.
“A black teacher was told she could not continue her Black History Month lesson,”Natasha Capers, coordinator of NYC Coalition for Educational Justice, said in a statement. “She was told that was not her subject area. She was told that is a social studies subject.

Having discussed the Time of Puppies and Rainbows in the first part of our roundtable, Coming Attractions’s crackerjack crew of Game of Thrones experts now turns its attention to the nitty-gritty of television contracts, the difficulty of Daenerys Targaryen’s upcoming storyline (or lack thereof), and the huge news that A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin will be developing further series for HBO in the not-too-distant future… which may or may not include Game of Thrones spinoffs.
Mo Ryan, TV critic for The Huffington Post:
As far as I’m aware, TV actors don’t normally have a set or minimum amount of screen time put into their contracts. Here’s something that is fairly standard in Us TV: an actor who is contracted as a series regular may have a “10 for 13” or “8 for 10” contract. That means that for the duration of the shooting of a particular season,...

After compacting, contorting, and shuffling around the second novel to make it fit within HBO’s mandated 10-episode block, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have been proactive to avoid the same type of scrimping this time ‘round: season three will only be based on the first half (or so) of book three, and each episode will have roughly five additional minutes of drytime tacked on, essentially adding an 11th episode to the roster.
This may go a long way to tamping down on the vociferous responses that the second season provoked last year, but, then again, given all the hints and clues we’ve gotten thus far about what season three will have in store, it may very well not make a whit of difference.

L. Frank Baum's mystical and magical Land of Oz has been re-envisioned again and again. Before the quintessential 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz, which starred Judy Garland, there were nearly a dozen other movie versions made -- doesn't help the 'remakes suck' argument, does it? There are (at least) a couple more new takes coming, with Sam Raimi's Oz The Great and Powerful, and that terrible looking animated feature Dorothy of Oz, which actually boasts an impressive voice cast. There's also the direct sequel that Drew Barrymore was supposed to direct. And, of course, there's Todd McFarlane's long gestating (in his head at least) take on Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz -- the toys are cool though at least.
While we wait for those movie adaptations to come skipping down the Yellow Brick Road, editors John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen just sold the anthology Oz...

Mo Ryan and Amin Javadi are nice enough to join us for the back half of the conversation, as we evaluate the overall filmmaking quality of the season (specifically in regards to its predecessor), the importance of the Battle of the Blackwater, and, most importantly, continue to go back-and-forth over the deconstruction of Arya Stark.

Forget who’s involved? Double shame. Here you go:

Winterfell has been burnt to the ground, the Imp has been stripped of power, and Stannis has been defeated – but there’s so much more that didn’t make the final cut, and more still to discuss and debate, regardless of its inclusion or omission.
There’s so much to wrap one’s head around, in fact, that a tidy little roundtable I had planned tripled in size and had to be split in two halves. For this first part, a crack panel of George R.R. Martin stalkers and TV critics tackled the inherent quality of the source material, A Clash of Kings; the filmmaking chops of Game of Thrones showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff; and the dopiness – or lack thereof – of the average HBO viewer.

Having been three episodes into a season that is simultaneously more surefooted but also more divergent than its predecessor, Marc N. Kleinhenz decided to call up some of the biggest fans – and critics? – of both HBO’s Game of Thrones and George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series to get out the microscope and examine what have already proven to be some of the show’s most controversial elements, changes, and improvisations. It’s a star-studded lineup to discuss what is turning out to be one of television’s biggest breakout hits.
