Somewhere in the universe exists perhaps the boldest and most challenging film ever printed. It centers around one of the worst human atrocities in world history, the Holocaust, and it is told by one of the great artistic minds, but one who specialized in screwball comedy. The Day the Clown Cried was completed among all facets of production in 1972 but was ultimately shelved. Now deceased, Jerry Lewis vowed that his maverick film that dealt with the horrors of Jewish people imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp never see the light of day . By various accounts, the original film may never be seen by a mass audience. The longer Lewis' film remains a piece of lost media, the further the legend will grow surrounding it. COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Before any mythic folklore was attached to The Day the Clown Cried , controversy followed the film into pre-production. Many were skeptical of Lewis' aptitude to handle a subject of such seriousness an

[+] and Ajax at Philips Stadion on April 23, 2023 in Eindhoven, Netherlands (Photo by Broer van den Boom/BSR Agency/Getty Images) Getty Images Before signing Lisandro Martinez from Erik Ten Hag’s old club, AFC Ajax, Manchester United were pushing hard for Jurrien Timber.

The deal never happened and the Red Devils went on to sign Martinez ahead of Arsenal, which has proved to be a stellar signing and one that fans will talk about with praise for years to come. However, reports have emerged once more that Manchester United are prepared to go back to Ten Hag’s former club and sign Timber. With two years left on his contract, the rumoured cost of the Dutch international is around £40 million. Tim

President Joe Biden didn’t hold back his swipes at Fox News and its recently-“finished” host Tucker Carlson during a White House Correspondents’ Association dinner speech on Saturday. The president made several sharp quips into his remarks about a number of Republicans – including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) – as he also found time to take aim at Carlson just days after his surprise firing at the network . Advertisement “The truth is, we really have a record to be proud of: vaccinated the nation, transformed the economy, earned historic legislative victories and midterm results. But the job isn’t finished, I mean, it is finished for Tucker Carlson ,” Biden said as the D.C. crowd gasped. “What are you ooo’ing about like that. Like you think that’s not reasonable? Give me a break.” Biden later roasted Fox News personalities and the network’s recent $787.5 million defamation lawsuit sett

Though it may now be home to a popular reality game show, Fox certainly got off to a big start in the early 1990s, with shows like The Simpsons and Married... with Children . Fox then provided a platform for raw, Black comedy in the early ‘90s with In Living Color and soon after, Martin . TV audiences weren’t strangers to Black comedies, but up until that point, families had been at their core. With the possible exception of A Different World , Black-centered primetime sitcoms were still delivering family-based charm, whereas Martin ushered in a new wave of bold entertainment that took the physical comedy of I Love Lucy , the attitude of Sanford and Son , and tossed in a little ‘90s attitude. All of that combined, plus the sheer celebration of Black culture, made Martin a fan favorite and proved when the comedy is done right, it’s timeless. One reason Martin is doing so well is not only syndication, but also streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, BET+, and most recently, HBO Max

After the workers at a Starbucks store in Ithaca, New York, went on strike last April, a communications specialist from the public-relations firm Edelman emailed a “real-time alert” to corporate Starbucks officials. “Flagging an article from The Ithacan that discusses the Cornell University Starbucks strike,” the specialist wrote. “Partners went on strike due to repeated grease trap spills that caused an unsafe environment and lack of action from management.” Advertisement The story renewed discussion among Starbucks management about what to do with the store. A regional director recommended closure because “the space is not meeting our partners or brand needs,” but she also noted they were exploring the possibility of a renovation. Starbucks ended up shuttering the store permanently two months later, leading workers and federal labor enforcers to accuse the company of retaliation . The workers had recently voted 19-1 in favor of joining Workers United, making it one of

Using generative AI such as ChatGPT to compose legalese and intimidate to prevail. getty You might be aware of the ongoing meme and social media game known as tell me about something without telling me. For example, suppose you said to a lawyer that they should tell you they are indeed a lawyer, but do so without outright saying so. We can guess that a lawyer might mutter all manner of arcane legalese to try and convey that they are versed in the law and serve as a practicing attorney. Upon hearing this tremendous barrage of nearly incomprehensible and lofty-sounding legal words, you might speculate they are a lawyer. Let’s try a different version of the same game. Tell me that you are a lawyer, without telling me that you are a lawyer, and do so even though you, in fact, are not a lawyer. How would you handle that one? Well, before you get too far along in contemplating this, please know that by and large anyone that holds themselves out as a lawyer can get themselves into s
