Dems Split On Manning Decision

... Thursday's press event, though, Assange stopped short of saying he would definitely surrender to DOJ officials. "We have to have a discussion with the DOJ about what is their proposal. At the moment, they don't have a proposal," said Assange. Though Assange says he is standing by his offer, asking for ground rules for the extradition is a new wrinkle. In fact, in a tweet last week, Wiki Leaks said he would "agree to US extradition despite clear unconstitutionality of Do J case." During the interview, Assange seemed to imply that his offer was no different than a standing offer to appear for what he would consider a fair public trial. "I've always been willing to go to the United States provided my rights have been respected, because this is a case that should never have occurred," he said.

Xander Cage' To Lead Inauguration Weekend

... Inauguration Weekend could see a close battle between M. Night Shyamalan’s Split and Vin Diesel's extreme action extravaganza x Xx: The Return of Xander Cage for the No. 1 spot at the North American box office. Split , starring James Mc Avoy as a kidnapper with 24 different personalities, is projected to gross $23 million or more, thanks to a teen-friendly PG-13 rating. Jason Blum's Blumhouse and Universal partnered on the film, which begins rolling out Thursday night before playing Friday in a total of 3,015 theaters. Shyamalan made the film for less than $10 million and self-financed it in order to retain creative control, similar to 2015's The Visit. Universal is being more conservative and suggesting a domestic debut in the high-teen million to $20 million range (it opens day-and-date in 21 foreign markets). That's the same range Paramount and Revolution Studios are predicting for Xander Cage, the third installment in the long-dormant franchise. Directed by D. J. Caruso, the $85 million film ...

M. Night Shyamalan Thrills, Though Not Without Controversy

... actor proves himself a real chameleon. He fully inhabits each of the characters, sometimes changing accent, other times switching wardrobe, but Mc Avoy makes it clear they're all part of the same person and not someone wildly different — for example, Patricia is very much a woman but doesn't wear a wig to feminize Kevin's shaved head.". Peter Debruge,  Variety. "A welcome return to form from 'The Sixth Sense' director M. Night Shyamalan, whose unhinged new mind-bender is a worthy extension of his early work.". Tirdad Derakhshani,  Philadelphia Inquirer. "Split [is] a remarkably weird and wonderful exercise in psychological terror featuring a virtuoso performance by Scottish actor James Mc Avoy (X-Men) as a deranged killer named Kevin who is at turns terrifying, grotesque, pitiful, lovable, brilliant, confident, pathetic, happy, sad, mad and glad.". Anya Taylor-Joy plays Casey, one of Kevin's abductees. Jette Kernion,  indie WIRE. "Split could have been an abduction thriller, a psychological drama or perhaps a twisted action film. Instead, its attempt to combine all these elements leads to an ending less satisfying than a dozen more Mc Avoy personalities.". Alan ...

Hagerstown City Council Split On Sweeping Public-housing Project

... about two blocks from Noland Village, said he walks through the neighborhood two or three nights a week. On one of the nights recently, he called police about a shots fired incident in the development. He also noted walking down Linwood Road off Noland Drive and seeing numerous discarded shopping carts and trash. "I look at these things, and I wonder to myself: 'What community would I wish that on?'. Councilman Paul D. Corderman criticized the development plan, saying it would continue to exacerbate various socioeconomic issues that have been troubling the city. Council members were told during a work session that no letter of support or financing is needed from them for the project to proceed. That left Corderman wondering where he could vent his frustration. "If there's nothing we can do at this table, then I'd like to find out what table we're going to talk ...

Nyers Split On Mayor’s Approach To Trump

On Thursday night, de Blasio spoke at an anti-Trump “We Stand United Rally” outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower near Columbus Circle. Most Popular. City Council passes bills on art, dollar vans. De Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips dismissed the poll’s relevance. “This is the kind of false choice that only exists in pollster conference rooms. There will be times when the mayor aggressively challenges the incoming president, and I suspect there will be times when their interests align and they work together on an issue. The mayor has both speeds — and he’ll undoubtedly need them,” Phillips said. The poll breaks down along racial and partisan lines, with 90 percent of Republicans favoring de Blasio getting along with Trump to 4 percent favoring opposing him; 60 percent of Democrats favoring opposition to 33 getting along; whites, 45 to 48, blacks ...

The Return Of Xander Cage' Will Boost January Box Office

... with 24 personalities) comes after two horror films in the last two weeks (“Underworld: Blood Wars” and “Bye Bye Man”), so its strong advance word could provide a needed boost. The third film in the “x Xx” franchise comes more than a decade after the second, “State of the Union” (2005) and with a new studio (Paramount, after Sony originally). It’s also a return for Vin Diesel (he skipped the second). However, Diesel doesn’t guarantee success. While he leads the massively popular “Fast and Furious” franchise, his other films have not opened to more than $20 million going back to 2005. The original “x Xx” in 2002 opened to the equivalent of $65 million in today’s ticket prices, so there’s a chance interest could be reignited. “Hidden Figures”. Both “Split” and “Return of Xander Cage” are projected to open within a few million of $20 million (higher or lower). “Hidden Figures” should drop some from the terrific $21 million last weekend ($27 million for four days) to the mid-teens. That level would still be excellent, and only a modest drop for what has become an unexpectedly strong wide-audience appeal success. “The ...

Split-level Morality

... public silence on many controversial issues do not ease pressure on the wrongs and wrongdoers because millions of netizens invariably flood society with their opinions. Split-level Christianity cannot but induce split-level morality since Christianity is the dominant faith of the Philippines. Before we can even consider our public officials and the morality they should live by, we have to ascertain that our families, churches and schools are effectively guided by the kind of moral standards we will demand from government. A split-level morality will necessarily produce a split-level governance where ideal ethics and laws will find spurious application. We only do with consistency that which is of greatest importance to us. Mouthing religious teachings is like mouthing laws and regulations. If we act differently from what we say, that is split-level morality, whether in faith or in governance. The ...
