The Roma striker topped the Serie A goal chart last season with 29 and has started the new campaign in excellent form, scoring seven in as many games in the league. However, the 31-year-old is surprised that he still faces regular criticism from fans over a perceived lack of interest during games and feels social media makes it easy for people to forget footballers are human. “I don’t run? I don’t give my best?...
One aspect that stood out for many of the viewers was the soundtrack, which accompanied the show throughout its 10 episodes. Not only does the soundtrack features a wide range of artists, it also spans completely different music genres. Director Jason Hehir explained the choice of including such an eclectic mix of songs was deliberately done to ensure the soundtrack reflected the decades it covered. “I think we pretty quickly realized that the best thing was to tell the story with songs from the era,” he told The New York Times....

Minor spoilers for The Lodge ahead, but major plot points are avoided. The Lodge opens with a jolt, when Mia and Aidan’s mother (Alicia Silverstone), kills herself after learning of her estranged husband Richard’s (Richard Armitage) intent to marry Grace. The kids blame her for their mother’s death, describing her as a psychopath because of her traumatic past: at 12, Grace was the only surviving member of a suicide cult led by her father....

The premiere played out like many of the first season’s episodes which acted more or less like standalone episodes with little to do with the overall narrative of the bounty hunter Mandalorian–real name Din Djarin, but commonly referred to as Mando–on the run with his adorable sidekick, an infant green alien species that the pop culture world calls Baby Yoda, but Disney+ insistently claims is known as The Child. Everything about the episode seems like a side story on the ultimate journey to bring The Child to his own people, from Mando seeking help on Tatooine from a fellow Mandalorian for said mission to the episode’s title–“The Marshal....
For example, one viewer wrote, “Luke showing up legitimately crushed me. It just seems like nostalgic storytelling to please [The Last Jedi] haters. Disappointing. F*** this,” while another tweeted, “I’m so done with star wars, they really can’t let things f****** go.” Luke’s appearance, however, is just the pinnacle of a season that seemed insistent in jamming as many characters from Stars Wars movies, TV shows and books in as possible, turning The Mandalorian from an interesting show in its own right to a show that just seems like a cynical spin-off machine powered by fan service....
He is officially scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, August 2nd against the Washington Nationals. Earlier today, Mets manager Buck Showalter confirmed that Jacob deGrom will start on Tuesday.

Björnsson was nearly signed by the Colts in 2013 as a lineman, but turned to strongman competitions and the world of Westeros instead. At Iceland’s Strongest Man competition, Björnsson tossed around Atlas Stones like they were bags of groceries.

There was an oddly theatrical aspect to the mass suicide near San Diego, Calif. The departed all packed overnight bags containing clothes, spiral notebooks and, for some reason, lip balm. Each of them left the earth with a five-dollar bill in their pockets, plus quarters–for what? Celestial pinball? Each wore a new pair of Nike running shoes-a play on the Nike slogan, “Just Do It”? Casual friends, who had found the cultists to be not grim but rather chipper and self-deprecating, wondered if the dead were slyly ridiculing the media storm that was sure to follow....
After the official announcement that Star Wars Galaxies would be shutting down its servers on December 15th, players rallied to sign a petition to try and convince SOE to employ the free-to-play model which has become commonplace in the MMO market in recent years. Such a model was able to save The Lord of the Rings Online and we’re also seeing it used by Champions Online and more recently, Age of Conan....
To a certain extent, the concern is warranted. According to producer Ru Weerasuriya, the game started with a story idea, not a gameplay hook. Many of the decisions made during development - for example, the way that The Order: 1886 uses a “letterboxed” 2.40:1 aspect ratio, limiting the player’s view while creating a movie-like affect - were informed by narrative concerns, not mechanical ones. While the game handles well, as seen during hands-on previews, the question remains: how much of The Order is a game, and how much is a glorified movie?...
This was revealed during the August 8th episode of The Owl House, “Enchanting Grom Fright,” where the audience (but not Luz) discovered that Luz’s friend Amity has feelings for her. This came after Luz had to dance-battle a shapeshifting demon at the girls’ witch school prom. As one does.

The one-hour, 39-minute match saw the 605th-ranked American break Kovinic five times to beat her 6-3, 6-3 in their first-ever meeting on the WTA tour. Williams saved eight break points and dished out nine aces, compared to just six from the World No. 80. It has been three weeks since the 23-time Major champion announced her decision to retire from the sport, with the US Open likely being her last tournament....
The huge new aliya, or immigration, may give Israel the demographic cushion it needs against a higher Arab birthrate. But it adds to the burden of a society under chronic stress. About Soviet immigrants have arrived so far this year, an additional 20,000 are due next month. Given government housing subsidies amounting to $300 a month, the immigrants are displacing poor Israelis–most of them Sephardic, or Oriental, Jews. This has brought long-simmering class and religious tensions into the open, embarrassing the new right-wing government of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir....

At that time, it was announced that the show would move from Fox to Hulu, as the show’s makers did not believe they could get a full season made in time for the 2019-2020 TV season. Instead, The Orville Season 3 was expected to come to Hulu towards the end of 2020. Towards that we are towards the end of 2020, however, it seems as if the coronavirus has delayed the next season into 2021....
