7 people who helped define the 'Star Wars' galaxyNEW YORK, NY.- In 1977, a space opera movie tinged with samurai culture, cowboy attitudes and alien rivalries seemed like a mishmash doomed to fail, or at least to trickle into the annals of cinema as a cult classic. But on its release in theaters far, far and wide, Star Wars became an unexpected global phenomenon. It has since inspired decades of movies and television series and countless imaginary lightsaber battles in backyards around the world. The franchise became a merchandising juggernaut, and to this day remains as active as ever in sci-fi discourse. James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, died last week. He was one of many members of the Star Wars universe who have died, having made an indelible impact on the series. Here are the stories of some ... More Derek Boshier, British pop artist and Bowie collaborator, dies at 87NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Boshier, who rose to prominence in the British pop art movement in the early 1960s and went on to make a pop statement of a different sort by collaborating with David Bowie and the Clash, died Sept. 5 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 87. His publicist, Daniel Bee, said the cause was cardiac arrest. Proudly working-class and left-wing in his work, Boshier was among the vanguard of Britains analogue to the pop art movement centered in New York and defined by artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. As a student at the Royal College of Art in London in 1961, Boshier was featured in the landmark Young Contemporaries exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, alongside his current and former classmates David Hockney, Allen Jones, R.B. Kitaj and Peter Phillips, all of whom would help shape the movement. ... More A wide-open Oscar season begins to narrowNEW YORK, NY.- Fall foliage may still be weeks away, but the tea leaves of Oscar season are ready to be read. Now that festivals in Venice, Telluride and Toronto have concluded and all but a handful of this yearâs contenders have had their first public peek-out, the story is beginning to come into focus. And unlike the races of the past two years, dominated by the season-long sweepers âOppenheimerâ and âEverything Everywhere All at Once,â this race seems wide open. Still, two movies already look like significant contenders across the board. One is âConclave,â a handsomely mounted thriller about sneaky cardinals plotting to pick a new pope. It premiered at Telluride and stars Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci. Some of my fellow journalists sniffed that âConclaveâ was just a potboiler with prestige trappings, but I think thatâs ex ... More Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice stunned the world (and will again)NEW YORK, NY.- On Oct. 27, 2022, photojournalist Saiyna Bashir was interviewing musician Michael Brook in his Los Angeles studio when she learned something that prompted an urgent text to Zakir Thaver, her filmmaker colleague in Pakistan: New undiscovered album. Bashir and Thaver were producing an upcoming documentary called Ustad about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan the celebrated Pakistani singer who died in 1997 at age 48 and Brook, the silver-haired musician whose ambient work has crossed paths with Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno and Michael Mann, had just revealed that he was working on an unreleased Khan song. It was part of Chain of Light, an album Brook recorded with Khan at Peter Gabriels Real World Studios in England more ... More In 'Agatha All Along,' Joe Locke works like a charmNEW YORK, NY.- Joe Locke nailed his first audition. He was 6 and up for a part in an amateur production of The Wizard of Oz, and he easily secured a callback. But when he was told he would have to return for another audition, the thought of trying out again reduced him to tears. He declined the callback. The role went to a different child. It did traumatize me a bit, Locke said. And, he added, ducking his chin toward the neck of his cream-colored hoodie, I was always a crier. Locke got older. He got bolder. He threw himself into school plays, Christmas pantomimes, community theater in his home on the Isle of Man. I come from a very small place where individuality is less embraced, he said. Onstage, playing pretend, he could express more. He planned to apply to drama school. Then a family friend alerted him to an open call for a new TV show, Heartstopper, ...

Flashback On a day like today, Dutch realist painter Anton Mauve was born September 18, 1838. Anthonij (Anton) Rudolf Mauve (18 September 1838, Zaandam, North Holland - 5 February 1888, Arnhem) was a Dutch realist painter who was a leading member of the Hague School. He signed his paintings 'A. Mauve' or with a monogrammed 'A.M.'. A master colorist, he was a very significant early influence on his cousin-in-law Vincent van Gogh.
