It can be agreeably argued that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the culmination of Tarantino’s life’s work, and so it is a close second to Inglorious Basterds. However, Basterds is unlike anything else he has ever made and for many other reasons should be lauded as the finest film of Tarantino’s film career.

What’s happening, or at least happened, in Red Dead Redemption 2 is snow. It’s not just a bit of snow, either. It was reported to be snowing everywhere in Red Dead Redemption 2, including in the swamp and elsewhere. Snow was even said to be accumulating on the ground, giving Red Dead Redemption 2’s setting a white Christmas energy. Players simply logged into Red Dead Redemption 2 to continue playing the game and discovered that snow was falling everywhere they went....

He’s the closest thing NASCAR has to a genuine road-racing ace. The popular Aussie has six NASCAR victories, all of on road courses, including two Cup wins at Watkins Glen. If he can win this weekend at Sonoma, where he’s one of the favorites, he would qualify for the Chase for the first time.

That is a good thing, because the issue of institutionalized racism in policing — the reason Kaepernick started this — is not going to be dealt with easily or quickly, and it requires attention. Athletes using their position of public prominence to affect change in this way is a positive thing, and a reminder that being a patriotic American means being willing to accept that others’ right to protest also is a positive thing....

A recent article from Bloomberg, which claims to have sources from within Rockstar, has painted a clearer picture of the company’s current state and the upcoming game. Grand Theft Auto 6 may be quite different from its predecessors in terms of tone, and this is a result of Rockstar’s changing internal culture. Most interestingly, thanks to constant updates, it may also have a pretty long lifespan, and it may even last longer than GTA 5 did....

It is just one of several crucial European Zone qualifying matches as the pace hots up for places in Brazil next year. The group winners will advance to the finals along with the best second placed team while the other eight runners-up will enter a winner takes all two-legged playoff. Group A is a straight battle between 1998 semi-finalists Croatia and 1986 semi-finalists Belgium with the latter looking to return to the final stages for the first time since 2002....

Sunspot AR3141 exploded with an M5-class solar flare, which is fairly powerful, at 00:11 UTC (around 7 p.m. ET on Sunday). “IT’S ALIVE! The Sun is up from its nap! An M5.2 flare came from AR3141 at the beginning of Nov. 7 at 00:11 UTC. Bring it on AR3141!! The radio blackout was over the Pacific,” wrote the The Sun Today: Solar Facts and Space Weather Facebook page in a post....

The scoreline wouldn’t suggest the real picture for Pune, who tried their best to get an equalizer in the whole match after conceding the first goal. However, profligacy in the attacking third might have prevented them another win or even a draw. The task is just becoming harder for Pune, who now completed half of their campaign. With only five points from nine matches, the chances of making it to the final now look increasingly bleak....

After riding their luck and staying in the game through a combination of Chennaiyin failing to take their chances and their keeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury making some good saves, their resistance was broken in the second half. In defence, they allowed Chennaiyin numerous raids in on their goal while offering very little in attack. Barring an early chance in just the 2nd minute of the game thanks to an error at the back from Chennaiyin, NorthEast rarely created much of note during the game....

Bengaluru FC are on a four-match unbeaten run but they managed to win just once during that period. The Blues scored five goals and conceded only thrice, picking up two clean sheets. Xisco Hernandez made his first appearance for Bengaluru FC in 2021 in their last match against Chennaiyin FC, and might get a start. Ashique Kuruniyan is training with the squad. But Naushad Moosa made it clear in the pre-match press conference that he won’t feature in the matchday squad....

In an official statement, Head Coach Albert Roca was quoted as saying, “Edu is an exciting young winger. His versatility down the flank will provide us with great options in terms of personnel as well as our game plan. He will be a great addition to our squad and fits in well with our philosophy.” The 27-year-old Spaniard was excited at the prospect and said, “I’m very excited for joining the club....

“We’re obviously a resilient group and we knew we had a lot of time on the clock still, so, just stuck with it and fortunate to get two goals and tie it up and obviously win in overtime,” said Mathew Barzal. Things started a little better for the Islanders than they did two nights prior when they were blown out of Amalie Arena in Tampa 8-0. The first goal of that game came just 45 seconds after the drop of the puck....

Palestinians, Lebanese and others marched in Beirut in solidarity with Palestinians. In Turkey, thousands of people gathered outside of the Israeli embassy and its consulate in Istanbul to protest Israel’s actions. Despite lockdown orders to curb the spread of COVID-19, protestors carried Palestinian flags and chanted “(Turkish soldiers) to Gaza” and “Down with Israel, down with America.” according to the Jerusalem Post. Hundreds of Kuwaitis have also staged a sit-in outside Parliament voicing support for the Palestinians....

Despite being on the cusp of contention several times, Bisping didn’t receive a title shot in the UFC for a decade. After getting an opportunity to step in for the injured Chris Weidman at UFC 199, Bisping knocked out Luke Rockhold and won the middleweight championship. During an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Israel Adesanya was asked if he had any plans of fighting in the UK. ‘The Last Stylebender’ stated that it all depended on Darren Till, who has lost two of his last three fights at 185 lb....

“Due to the decision of the Israeli Ministry of Finance to breach understandings that were agreed upon and signed by the Director General of the Ministry of Finance on July 21, 2019, and to apply a one-sided procedure that alters a protocol that has been in place for several decades, we are forced to close the diplomate mission,” read a statement. “No consular services will be provided and no one will be allowed to enter the Embassy/Consulate....

The city has long been a point of contention since Israel annexed east Jerusalem and claimed it as its capital in 1967, a move that was not internationally recognized. Meanwhile, the Palestinians want to establish east Jerusalem as their capital in the event that they form their own state. Moshe Hogeg, owner of Beitar Jerusalem, said that he made the decision to cancel the match “with great sadness,” but he didn’t want to acquiesce to what he considered a “political” demand....

Pogba was benched by Jose Mourinho for both legs of United’s Champions League last-16 exit against Sevilla, with rumours of a rift between the pair growing. The France international has denied having a problem in his relationship with Mourinho, who has stated Pogba will be with United for the start of the 2018-19 season. But a fresh round of speculation was ignited by Pogba’s suggestion he could move to Paris Saint-Germain in the future, leading newly appointed United coach Carrick to laugh off the links....

The franchise still lives on, though, with its last entry serving as launch title for the 3DS and expanded to Nintendogs + Cats, illustrating that Nintendo continues to have faith in the series. It’s disappointing, then, that at the time the Switch was launched, Nintendogs was uncharacteristically absent from its line-up. Not only would it have been perfectly suited to the platform, combining the benefits of handheld, touchscreen, and motion control play styles, but it could have continued its legacy of appealing to non-gamers since its inception....

“Star Wars” opened in Manila when I was in grade school. It was a huge hit. Kids nagged their parents to buy the action figures, T shirts, model X-wing fighters and whatnot. We came to understand the power of the Force–the force of merchandising. Parents, teachers, authority figures who wouldn’t allow us to have fun became our own personal Darth Vaders. Broomsticks and flashlights became laser swords. I wore my hair in the style of Princess Leia....
