Rowling had some more tidbits to share for “Harry Potter” fans during the intermission of the Broadway play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” — mainly about the role played by Jessica Williams in the upcoming “Fantastic Beasts” sequels.

No, not that photo — of the four ex-presidents, three former first ladies and current first lady Melania Trump — that made the rounds on social media over the weekend. The other much-talked about picture was a photo of the socks worn at the funeral by former President George H.W. Bush, who is known for wearing bold, patterned socks. The photo is a close-up of Bush’s ankles, adorned with black socks decorated […]

HBO

Season two of HBO's "Westworld" premiered Sunday night, and people are already theorizing.

Much of the episode is told through Bernard's perspective, so it's unreliable given that he's a host. And not only is he a host: he's a glitching host.

Throughout the episode, we see small signs that something is wrong with Bernard. His hands shake uncontrollably, his memory is dodgy (even more so than usual), and at one point goo comes out of his ear.

So what exactly is happening to him, and why? Читать дальше...

Each pillar is 6 feet (2 meters) tall, the height of a person, and made of steel that weathers to different shades of brown.
