Within moments after “Predator” begins, Ximena will be captured, convicted of exaggerating “people’s thoughts and feelings by putting them into song” and sent to a women’s prison for “voice removal therapy.” In other words, what Nishimura was doing in the lobby is a plot point that should help you get into the story, just as seeing yourself on the live and taped video feed from the lobby, projected on (and often interacting with) the large screen above the performers, may heighten your sense of living in a society under constant surveillance.

The actress was never really close to her “charismatic and odd” dad, John Drew Barrymore, and admits she realized her parents just weren’t cut out to have kids as she emancipated herself from them in her teens. But she appreciated the actor “from afar” and found herself back in his life in the years before he died. “He got cancer... Читать дальше...

Fifteen Republicans are still running for president, while three Democrats are vying for their party's nomination. Running for president... Читать дальше...

The music for the entrance of the toreadors, which opens Tortelier’s suite, strode forth with lean but grandiose energy, and the seductive strains of the “Seguedilla” curled and twisted sinuously through their inventive harmonies. Even deploying only five of his fingers, Bavouzet made a fearsome noise, tearing through the concerto’s most dramatic sections with bravado and playing bluntly in the lyrical episode that functions as the work’s slow movement. The question of how to balance impact and intimacy is always an issue with this concerto ... Читать дальше...

NASA is looking for a few good astronauts. What’s an ideal resume?Tough guy: military background, preferably Navy SEALBrainiac normal: average height and a science degreee Quirky is good: multiple languages and handy with a screw driver No foodies: must be happy with packaged grub for months Why are Los Angeles cops concerned about El Nino

NEW YORK — Lunch with former astronauts Robert Curbeam, Jerry Linenger and Yi So-yeon feels a little like eavesdropping on the meeting of a special club. Bring up the reason they’re together — to discuss the near misses that have them featured on the Science Channel’s upcoming series “Secret Space Escapes” — and the club would seem even more exclusive. Space agencies don’t want the bad publicity, no one wants to scare families back home, and astronauts are trained to fix problems and move on. Linenger’s close call... Читать дальше...

In a "Star Wars" conspiracy theory gone viral, a Reddit poster makes a surprisingly convincing claim that Jar Jar Binks is not, in fact, a bumbling character whose only purpose is comic relief. Rather, the poster claims, Jar Jar is a Jedi master and the saga's biggest villain.
