The beauty of Star Wars is that there’s something for everyone — whether you’re a fan of the mystical Jedi and Sith or of the spies, soldiers, and mercenaries who make up the Republic and Imperial ground forces. There’s plenty of spin-off material on the former, but not so much on the latter, especially for older Star Wars fans seeking more texts like Rogue One and Andor.
Paris-based Italian director Tommaso Usberti’s romance “Before the War,” a reflection on racism and toxic masculinity set in the Northern Italian plains, is the big winner of the Venice Critics’ Week where it scooped the grand prize and the award for best producer.

Resident Evil director Zach Cregger says he's cut most of movie's jokes, after test audiences apparently found the film "too funny."
Capcom loves including the occasional quip or witty one-liner in its Resident Evil game series — typically something cheesy from Leon S. Kennedy about going to bingo — so it's not surprising that Cregger also planned to include humor in his adaptation.

Some of our most trusted people rushed in to rebuild what one of them called a “burnt-down farm,” craving the gravity of shared space.

Watching our best people thrive in opposite environments convinced me that a sweeping location mandate would answer the wrong question.

Warsh hasn't promised any particular action on rates, but he recently laid out a case that the Fed will need to raise interest rates if inflation doesn't moderate. He arguably preserved the wiggle room to keep rates flat if he and the rest of the Fed choose not to act at their Sept. 15-16 meeting. But with his leadership of the Fed under intense scrutiny from inside and outside the organization, not acting after his repeated inflation warnings will make it harder for him to convince the market he is serious next time.
