But that feeling tends to intensify when it involves people who are already kind of likable in the first place. In this case, the couple of squishy bros are none other than Star Trek actor Pine and endearingly terrifying director Tarantino. The actor recently shared a story about his past experiences with the legendary director, and it’s a refreshing bit of mutual respect. It’s not exactly easy to find common ground these days, particularly when the basic human rights of so many marginalized groups are somehow a debate topic....

The eight-year catcher for the Red Sox — and Boston’s longest-tenured player — learned he had been moved, just hours before his team’s road game against the Astros. The team to whom he was traded? The Astros. That led to an awkward moment in pregame, in which media members at Minute Maid Park asked the still-processing Vazquez what he thought of the trade. Someone from the Red Sox public relations department eventually pulled the catcher from the interview:...

HBO Max, which is quick becoming an essential service for fans of classic movies, is leading the way with two Christmas-related classics from Hollywood’s Golden Age – the Judy Garland-starring Meet Me In St. Louis, the film from which the song “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” comes from, and The Shop Around the Corner, the 1940 romantic comedy that provided inspiration for You’ve Got Mail. Some big streaming shows and properties are also releasing new specials for 2020....

RELATED: Square Enix’s 10 Best Franchises, Ranked (According To Metacritic) The end result is an absolute masterpiece, with pretty much every facet of this video game being nigh perfect. One such aspect that should be lauded is the rich and diverse cast of characters, all of whom are memorable in their own ways. Each of these characters differs from each other in some way or the other, with the level of intelligence also varying between the main cast....

While many people can see that Chuck E. Cheese restaurants have a striking resemblance to the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria from the FNAF series, there are clear distinctions that separate them. In the real world, Chuck E. Cheese is an arcade and entertainment pizza place that recently filed for bankruptcy due to the coronavirus’ impact on the economy. Freddy Fazbear’s mascot is an animatronic bear that prowls the pizzeria at night, secretly terrorizing children, security guards, and game testers alike....

The children’s restaurant chain, named after its anthropomorphic mouse mascot and a major inspiration for Five Nights at Freddy’s, is less about the food and more about the experience, with it frequently being a spot for kids parties thanks to small stage shows and arcade games helping pass the time. However, with most restaurants shutting down or pivoting to takeout during the coronavirus pandemic, much of Chuck E Cheese’s appeal seems to have vanished....

Spaniard Ciganda was flawless throughout her opening 18 holes at Evian Resort Golf Club on the opening day of the fifth and final major of the season. The 28-year-old, starting her round at the 10th hole, made three birdies on her opening nine holes and as many on her way home to sign for a score of six under. Torres was one over through six, but two birdies in three holes before the turn preceded a birdie, birdie, eagle stretch between the 13th and 15th holes, while a further gain at the last saw her match Ciganda’s score....

The Croatian seventh seed was distraught after going 3-0 behind in the second set, sitting on his chair in tears. He received a medical timeout at the end of the second set on the way to a 6-3 6-1 6-4 defeat in his first Wimbledon final. “It was definitely one of the unfortunate days for me for this to happen. I had a really bad blister and fluid came down into the callus,” the 28-year-old said....

With Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal all making relatively early exits from the men’s draw in 2017, all attention has turned to the evergreen Federer. At 35, some may have thought Federer’s chances of moving past Pete Sampras by claiming an eighth crown had gone, but the Swiss has been back to his best over the past fortnight. Given his advancing years, Federer has carefully compiled his schedule this season and opted to miss the entire clay-court swing – including the French Open – to focus on Wimbledon, and it is a gamble that could deliver the ultimate reward....

After a yo-yo start to the season through their Week 7 loss to the Titans, the Chiefs have won four consecutive games to make it a perfect November before a Week 12 bye on Thanksgiving weekend. MORE: Chiefs shut down Prescott, Cowboys The two-time reigning AFC champions had been fading as favorites to reach a third consecutive Super Bowl. Now, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Chiefs have the second-best odds (+700) to win it all....

These rumors include the quarterback asking Matthews and his brother, Jackson, to no longer attend the Chiefs’ games. There was also speculation that he and Matthews were about to end their engagement. The Super Bowl-winning signal-caller tweeted out, “Man people are weird… love you babe.” In response, Matthews commented, “I love you.” Bridget Columbo questioned the bizarre treatment of celebrities on social media. She argues that even public figures have a right to a certain level of privacy....

Mahomes was sensational, completing 31 of 42 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns (and adding another score on the ground). What was most impressive about the performance was his poise against the pass rush: against the most blitz-heavy defense in the league, Mahomes completed 17 of 21 passes against the blitz for 219 yards and three touchdowns. No throw was better than the 49-yard bomb on third-and-14, off his back foot with a man in his face, perfectly into the arms of a wide open Mecole Hardman....

The 33-year-old is the fifth player to join the initiative, which sees participants donate a portion of their salary to football charities around the world, following in the footsteps of Manchester United’s Juan Mata, Bayern Munich’s Mats Hummels, and American stars Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan. Inspired by Mata’s recent promotion of the campaign, Chiellini contacted Common Goal of his own accord and hopes his involvement will inspire young players to follow his lead....

Among the country’s 1,288 reported cases of MIS-C, 23 children have died from the illness, as of last Friday, according to the CDC. The latest patient, who was being treated at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, had a “complex, preexisting cardiac condition” and died from complications tied to MIS-C, a spokesperson for the hospital, Lauren Song, said in a statement Wednesday. “If parents think that their child has MIS-C, it’s important that they contact their child’s doctor or pediatrician immediately,” Song added....

In 2016, a team of scientists announced they had discovered this perplexing behavior in four chimpanzee communities in West Africa. The research, published in Scientific Reports, put forward different hypotheses about the stone-throwing, with one gaining a significant amount of attention—that this may be “ritualized behavior [that] may have implications for the inferences that can be drawn from archaeological stone assemblages and the origins of ritual sites.” However, a team of scientists led by Ammie Kalan, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany, has now carried out experiments suggesting the chimps select which trees to throw rocks at based on their acoustic properties....

Seeking better U.S.-China relations, Beijing also signaled a willingness to discuss Bush’s missile defense plan, which it has opposed. The quid pro quo? It hopes Bush will fend off GOP hard-liners who want to arm Taiwan–particularly with Aegis defense systems–when the issue is reviewed next month. Beijing is nervous about the “renegade province’s” leanings toward independence–especially after Secretary of State Colin Powell inadvertently referred to Taiwan as a “country” during recent hearings....

As America deals with the coronavirus pandemic and the threat of reopening businesses too soon, protests erupted over the death of George Floyd, who was killed after an officer knelt on his neck. On Friday, Trump condemned demonstrators in Minneapolis as “thugs” before making an announcement in the afternoon that he terminated America’s relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO). “The whole world has watched as things unravel in the U....

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said China would “never allow” American interference in Taiwan, which it claims is part of its territory and therefore an “internal affair.” The U.S., which has unofficial but strong relations with Taipei, doesn’t take a position on sovereignty over the island and considers its status undetermined. At a virtual forum hosted by the New York Times on Wednesday, Secretary Blinken said the U.S. stands strongly against anyone taking unilateral action to disrupt by force the “status quo” across the Taiwan Strait....
