Jennifer Lawrence Transcends Silly Setup in No Hard Feelings

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:07:13 GMT

No Hard Feelings, starring a fearless Jennifer Lawrence, features a healthy budget, a unique location (Montauk, New York), discernible characters, a plotline in which said characters learn something about themselves, and it takes place on planet Earth. This is what theatrical films used to look like before we lost them to the malaise of streaming and the Marvel/DC takeover. But Gene Stupnitsky’s comedy is only sporadically funny and you wish he pushed the envelope a little further instead of being satisfied with a sluggish third act. Like hungry dogs in a kettle, the audience chews on every savory human moment, even if there isn’t enough meat on the bone.Lawrence, who also produced the Sony Pictures-backed vehicle, plays Maddie, an embittered bartender and Uber-driver who pours every cent she makes into the house her mother left her after she died. She could care less about cultivating a relationship with anyone, especially men, who she basically uses for libidinous purposes. She on...

‘You can grab me a million times and we will quickly get out’: San Francisco fentanyl dealer allegedly told arresting officer he doesn’t ‘give a f—‘

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:07:13 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — While city leaders, advocates, and police debate how to curb the practice of blatant drug dealing in the city’s downtown, one local man allegedly offered police his two cents on the issue as they were arresting him, again, on suspicion of distributing fentanyl.“You can grab me a million times and we will quickly get out,” 28-year-old Jackson Torres allegedly told a San Francisco policeman as he was being arrested March 26 for allegedly selling fentanyl on 7th Street. Torres added that he does not “give a f—” about the arrest.But for now at least, Torres is behind bars, where he faces two separate cases — one accusing him of selling fentanyl on March 26, when he was arrested in San Francisco, and another for violating his supervised release from a 2020 conviction for selling fentanyl in San Francisco. Prosecutors are now using that prior case, and his apparent lack of concern of future prosecutions, to argue that Torres ...

Pride: Looking Back and Moving Forward

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:07:13 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- For this year's KRON4 Pride special, we're "looking back and moving forward" by honoring everyone -- past and present -- who has worked to advance equality for LGBTQ+ people. Almost 20 years ago, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom decided San Francisco would ignore the law of the land and start issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. One of the first couples to get married in the city is still fighting for equality around the world. Gay ex-Secret Service Agent Cory Allen shares his story Elsewhere, the opioid epidemic is still impacting communities across the country, and across the world. The gay community is no exception. But drag queen Cochina Rude is using her platform to educate fans and maybe even save a life.Over two decades ago, one man decided to host a small gathering on Russian River for "bears." That's a term for gay men who project an aura of rugged masculinity. Today, that small gathering has turned into "Lazy Bear Week," a full week's worth of ev...

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Ilkay Gundogan ended his trophy-laden seven-year stay with Manchester City by agreeing to join Barcelona on a free transfer on Monday.The Germany midfielder’s last act as a City player — and captain — was to lift the Champions League trophy, which completed a treble of major titles for the English club.He is heading to Spain on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year, even though Pep Guardiola wanted to keep the 32-year-old Gundogan — the first signing by the City manager after he started in 2016.“This club made me realize all my dreams and I will forever be thankful for this opportunity,” Gundogan said. “I will carry City always in my heart. Once a blue, always a blue.”Having missed out on securing the return of Lionel Messi, Barcelona made the signing of Gundogan a priority to add some experience to a midfield already containing youngsters Pedri González and Gavi Páez, two of its pillars going forward, but no longer including veteran le...
