Kate Middleton is “battling much more than cancer,” claims a royal commentator. They argue that the Princess of Wales has not only treatment and recovery to deal with, but also, a “radically altered future.”
Kate Middleton’s fight is reportedly bigger than cancer
Daniela Elser of News.com.au discussed Kate Middleton’s fight against cancer. She believes there is more at stake in Kate’s future than just fighting and winning her battle against the disease.

Romcoms has been a fan-favorite genre for a long time now and it’s hard to talk about the genre without mentioning 1999’s 10 Things I Hate About You featuring Heath Ledger.

Allen Ginsberg initially thought The Beatles were naive when he first met them. However, he soon learned that they were innovators and artists like him.
The Beatles | Central Press/Getty Images Allen Ginsberg thought The Beatles were naive when he first met them
In Martin Scorsese’s 2005 documentary No Direction Home (per Ginsberg’s website), Ginsberg explained the first time he met The Beatles. He said he’d just been kicked out of Cuba “for talking privately about Castro’s persecution of gay people.” Then, he went to Czechoslovakia but they also kicked him out a week later. They deported him to London around the time of Bob Dylan’s concerts at the Royal Albert Hall.
There was a “very exciting scene back in the hotel,” and Dylan was down the hall with The Beatles. Ginsberg said he received a message that he should come down the hall to meet them all.

Look over the list of Best Picture winners over the years and you realise that almost every film selected is still in circulation.
William Wellman’s Wings, the very first winner in 1927, is readily available on DVD and Blu-Ray, as are such other early winners as Cimarron and Broadway Melody.
Most of the other Best Picture winners are titles that any film lover will recognise instantly. The blind spots are obvious. The Academy never chooses foreign language titles. In recent years, it has shunned comedies.
The Shape of Water may have won in 2018, but voters are generally wary about genre pictures. You don’t see many sci-fi or martial arts titles on the list.
There is a growing divide between what wins at the Oscars and what makes the money at the box office. Even so, the est Picture Oscar remains one of the most reliable bellwethers for films that will have an afterlife.

Beat poets Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs agreed: there’s something special about The Beatles‘ “Eleanor Rigby.” Although, when Paul McCartney played the melody for his piano teacher, they weren’t too impressed.
The Beatles | Mark and Colleen Hayward/Redferns Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burrough’s relationship with the Fab Four
The pair of poets were close to The Beatles in their own way.
According to his website, Ginsberg met the Fab Four in a hotel room. Both Cuba and Czechoslovakia had recently kicked him out. He arrived in London around Bob Dylan’s concerts at Albert Hall.
“There was a very exciting scene back in the hotel and Dylan was down the hall with The Beatles,” Ginsberg said. “Then a message came that I was supposed to come in there.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie paid a loving tribute Saturday to their “grannie” Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Sept. 8. She was 96.
The daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson released a statement via Buckingham Palace and expressed not being able “to put much into words” since their “grannie” died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
“Our dearest Grannie, We’ve not been able to put much into words since you left us all,” the sisters wrote. “There have been tears and laughter, silences and chatter, hugs and loneliness, and a collective loss for you, our beloved Queen and our beloved Grannie. We, like many, thought you’d be here forever. And we all miss you terribly.”
“You were our matriarch, our guide, our loving hand on our backs leading us through this world. You taught us so much and we will cherish those lessons and memories forever,” the sisters continued.

Aside from being a rollicking, romantic romp, The Mummy (1999) has carved out an iconic place among movie lovers for what Tor.com’s Leah Schnelbach describes as its chaotic bisexual energy. Here is a movie with an ensemble cast whose combined hotness, sheer charisma, and bucking of gender and societal norms make it so that anyone can see themselves in a variety of characters—and perhaps make some breakthroughs in realizing who they’re attracted to.
As Maggie Tokuda-Hall summed up, “Hot people being horny on main; campy violence; himbos.” But while The Mummy is a unique modern classic, it’s not the only one to spark a bisexual awakening among fans: May I present its equally chaotic bisexual contemporary, Brian Helgeland’s delightful 2001 film, A Knight’s Tale.

Note: The following contains spoilers for “Westworld” Season 4, Episode 7.
“Westworld” viewers know well enough by now that “dead” doesn’t always mean dead in the HBO sci-fi series, but Episode 7 of Season 4 sure seemed to seal the fate of one of the series’ most beloved characters.
Since returning from the Sublime, Bernard has maintained that after running simulations, there is only one way to save the world – and in that scenario, he doesn’t make it out alive. After teaming up with a revived Maeve (Thandiwe Newton) to take on Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) and her tower that has human citizens of New York City under control, Bernard was confronted by the William host (Ed Harris) and subsequently shot to death.
When asked by TheWrap if Bernard is dead in a recent interview about the episode, Wright replied simply, “It seems so.”
The actor wouldn’t let on more than that,...

William Shatner was “this close” to “beam me up, Scottie” mode when CNN+ host Chris Wallace introduced a clip of the “Star Trek” icon performing a spoken-word rendition of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” at the 1978 Saturn Awards.
Last year, Shatner became a “rocket man” of sorts when he joined Jeff Bezos on his Blue Origin flight to space. But long before that, Shatner pursued a musical career with spoken-word recordings of popular songs. His debut album, The Transformed Man, had his interpretive renditions of everything from “Mr. Tambourine Man” to “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.”
But Wallace pulled a surprise on the actor during a recent interview on his CNN+ show, first giving a warning, jesting that the “Boston Legal” star would “kill” him for what he was about to do.
“No, I would never kill you, I’d torture you,” Shatner assured him.
And… Wallace showed it.

William Hurt, who died on March 13 at age 71, will be remembered for some remarkable performances over the years. A gay South American prisoner in the 1985 groundbreaking drama “Kiss of the Spider Woman” (for which he won an Oscar for Best Actor). A speech teacher who falls in love with a deaf janitor in 1986’s “Children of a Lesser God” (for which he was nominated for Best Actor). An in-over-his-head anchorman in James L. Brook’s 1987 comedy “Broadcast News” (another Oscar nom).
“Altered States,” “Body Heat”, “The Big Chill,” “A History of Violence” — the list goes on and on.
But I didn’t meet Hurt on any of those great film sets. Instead, I got to watch him agonize over his acting choices in a picture that won’t make anybody’s best-of lists, least of all his own. That would be 1998’s “Lost in Space,” a big-budget, big-screen adaptation of...

It’s summer, everyone! And with its relatively sparse list of new releases for July 2021, Hulu seems to be subtlety imploring its subscribers to go outside.
Don’t get us wrong: Hulu’s library offerings get a big upgrade this month. July 1 sees the arrival of great films like Galaxy Quest, Fargo, and Caddyshack. Bill and Ted Face the Music premieres on July 2 and its followed by Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar on July 9. Not bad stuff! It’s just that, outside of the library titles, there isn’t much to go off of.
Hulu’s only major original release this month is the FX on Hulu production American Horror Stories on July 15. As its name implies, the show is a spinoff of American Horror Story and will feature self-contained horror episodes rather than a season-long arc.

Shia Labeouf and his agency CAA have gone their separate ways, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.
According to the individual, the two parties split a month ago when Labeouf decided to take a break from acting and to focus on recovery — he is currently receiving inpatient care. A spokesperson for Labeouf has not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
The news comes after Fka Twigs filed a lawsuit against the actor in December accusing Labeouf of “relentless abuse,” inflicting emotional distress and of knowingly giving her a sexually transmitted disease while they were in a relationship.
Labeouf has denied some of the accusations against him but, significantly, apologized for his behavior, tacitly acknowledging that at least some of her accusations were true. Since then, he has been accused of emotional abuse by other women.

As the coronavirus pandemic still rages on, precious few remain skeptical about going to the movies. But while your AMCs and others claim some godlike safety from Covid, there remains a chunk of people still uncomfortable hitting up theaters. To them, we bring you the September 2020 Criterion Channel lineup.
It starts off with quite the swath of content too. Béla Tarr’s Sátántangó hits the service on September 1, and its seven-plus hours should take up a large chunk of your day. Coming soon after is a collection of more than a dozen Joan Blondell starrers from the pre-Code era, including Howard Hawks’ The Crowd Roars, three collaborations with Mervyn LeRoy, and Ray Enright & Busby Berkeley’s Dames.
For some stuff released almost a century later, the service also sees the addition of documentary bender Robert Greene. His Actress, Kate Plays Christine, and Bisbee ’17 join soon after. Janicza Bravo, director of Lemon,...

Firelight Media, headed by veteran documentarian Stanley Nelson, has set the inaugural list of grant recipients for two programs designed to help develop documentary film projects.
Earlier this year Nelson launched the William Greaves Fund to help mid-career filmmakers get a lift toward producing their second film project. As Nelson told Variety‘s “Strictly Business” podcast in March, he knows how hard it can be to get going on a new project after pouring everything into a first labor of love.
“In our work within the Documentary Lab over the last decade, we have seen too many talented filmmakers of color leave the field because they cannot get proper support to make their next project. The William Greaves Fund is Firelight’s response to this persistent problem,” said Loira Limbal, Firelight’s senior VP of programs. “We’ve also consistently seen filmmakers of color struggle to get the resources they...

“Overnight!” That’s what Holland Taylor infamously shouted 21 years ago when she won her first career Emmy Award for playing fan-favorite judge Roberta Kittleson on “The Practice.” (Watch the 1999 Emmy flashback video above.) Taylor’s victory as Best Drama Supporting Actress was a bit of a shocker that year, especially considering she was a recurring guest star on the ABC legal series competing against series regulars like Lara Flynn Boyle and Camryn Manheim from her own show as well as Kim Delaney (“NYPD Blue”) and Nancy Marchand (“The Sopranos”). Can Taylor now win a bookend trophy for her role as savvy casting director Ellen Kincaid on the Netflix limited series “Hollywood”?
At the Emmy podium, Taylor took a beat as she looked down at the crumpled paper in her hand. “I’m so glad I wrote something,” she declared before adding, “I’m so sorry I can’t see it.

One of my favourite things to read, and I’m a big reader, is a good wrestling book. There are a whole bunch of autobiographies out there from a load of wrestlers, and the world of bodyslams and Monday night warfare is not short of a million crazy stories, so these books tend to be jam-packed with entertaining anecdotes, life stories, road-tales and a variety of things to keep fans (and perhaps some non-fans) hooked from page-one. I thought it might be fun to assemble a top ten list of what I feel are the ten best wrestler autobiographies out there right now. We’re fast approaching the release of Jim Ross’ second book, Under the Black Hat, which will be released at the end of March, so what better time to talk about wrestling books, that right now? Let’s go!
