Jeremy Renner is trading in Hawkeye’s bow and arrow for the six-shooters of famed gunslinger John Henry “Doc” Holliday, whom he is attached to play in an upcoming film from Palmstar Media. Holliday later became an iconic character in Western cinema after he was portrayed by Kirk Douglas in the classic 1957 film “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral,” though that film depicted the fight as a dramatic, drawn-out battle when, in reality, the shootout was finished in 30 seconds. Renner will next be seen in theaters in August...

“A writer’s strike could undermine AT&T’s primary reason for acquiring Time Warner, which is ownership of compelling content,” WGA West director David Young wrote in an April 6 letter obtained by TheWrap. [...] could it really derail such a massive deal — one that even prompted the president to weigh in on the campaign trail (and AT&T executives to visit with him)? For one, while Wall Street gets plenty of deserved abuse for looking at everything one quarter at a time, AT&T spending... Читать дальше...

Schools won’t have to cut the salt in meals just yet and they can serve kids fewer whole grains, under changes to federal nutrition standards announced Monday. “If kids aren’t eating the food, and it’s ending up in the trash, they aren’t getting any nutrition — thus undermining the intent of the program,” said Perdue, who traveled to a school in Leesburg, Va., to make the announcement.

‘Austin Powers’ 20th Anniversary: 20 Best Gags in ‘International Man of Mystery,’ Ranked (Videos) If getting decapitated by mutated sea bass wasn’t absurd enough, Myers tries out four different tough guy lines that make this scene pitch perfect parody. Myers’s cartoonish slobbering as the “Italian bird” slinks into a bath robe can’t be beat. “Austin Powers” actually has some sly commentary about life in the ’90s, and this moment of Cold War sarcasm has helped the film age well into the 2000s....
