Joshua Thomas, a Truman State University student from St. Peters, was found dead the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity house on Thursday, April 6.
Thomas, 18, was found around 5 AM Thursday in the Alpha Kappa Lambda house on 918 South Osteopathy Avenue in Kirksville, Missouri. Thomas is the third student to die at this fraternity house since August 2016.
While the first two deaths at the Alpha Kappa Lambda house were ruled suicides, Steve Farnsworth, a spokesman for Kirksville Police Department, said the cause of death was still being investigated, and that police were not searching for any suspect. However, according to Fox, the coroner’s preliminary findings suggest Thomas died from hanging.

The Alpha Kappa Lambda national fraternity released a statement saying that counseling professionals are providing support services for members of the chapter and others in the community, and that they’re cooperating fully with the university and police.
The school says it has variety of ways young people can seek help for depression, they remind friends of those who are facing mental health problems to continue to encourage those friends to seek help as for parents, they say the job of parenting is never over.
“These fraternity men are hurting. They’re very close and they have a lot of questions and we will want to support them; we have provided that,” said Lou Ann Gilchrist, vice president of Student Affairs at Truman State University.
It will take about 8 weeks for the toxicology reports to come in and for officials to determine an official cause of death. Furthermore, Chief Hayes said they do not believe hazing played a part in any of the deaths.
“I’m confident we’re not looking for someone out there doing harm,” said Kirksville Police Chief Jim Hughes. “We have to be careful. We want the evidence to take us where it needs to go. We’ll wait for all the information is back before we make a call.”
The fraternity, Alpha Kappa Lambda, released a statement on Thomas’ passing:
“We are devastated to lose Joshua Thomas, a member of our brotherhood at Truman State University. Our sincerest and deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends and brothers. Fraternity staff and alumni are onsite to assist the chapter, working alongside university counseling professionals who are providing support services for the chapter and others in the community. We have offered our full cooperation to the university and local authorities. Out of respect for our brother, his family and the other members of the Truman State chapter we cannot comment further at this time.”
Thomas, who was living in a dormitory, was a business administration major spending his first year on the Truman State campus.
United Airlines employees were seen forcibly removing a passenger from a flight from Chicago to Louisville before takeoff at O’Hare International Airport in a video posted on Facebook late Sunday evening.
What Happened?
The video, posted by Audra D. Bridges at 7:30 P.M. Sunday, shows three men wearing radio equipment and security jackets speaking to a man, who said he was a doctor, seated on the plane. A few seconds into the 31-second clip, one of the men grabs the passenger, who yells, and drags him toward the front of the plane. The video ends before anything else is shown.
A United spokesperson confirmed in an email Sunday night that a passenger had been removed from a flight in Chicago.
UPDATE: United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz released the following statement:
“This is an upsetting event to all of us here at United. I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers. Our team is moving with a sense of urgency to work with the authorities and conduct our own detailed review of what happened. We are also reaching out to this passenger to talk directly to him and further address and resolve this situation.”
“Flight 3411 from Chicago to Louisville was overbooked,” the spokesperson said. “After our team looked for volunteers, one customer refused to leave the aircraft voluntarily and law enforcement was asked to come to the gate.
“We apologize for the overbook situation. Further details on the removed customer should be directed to authorities.”
Passengers were told at the gate that the flight was overbooked and United, offering $400 and a hotel stay, was asking for one volunteer to take another flight to Louisville. Once passengers had boarded the plane, United then asked for four volunteers as four airline employees needed to be in Louisville for another flight. The passengers were told the flight would not take off until the United crew had seats, according to a fellow passenger, and that the airline increased their offer to $800. After no one volunteered to give up their seats, United staff reportedly chose the man in the video at random. He allegedly begged to be removed as he had patients to see the next morning in Louisville.
The man somehow managed to get back on the plane, where he said repeatedly, “I have to get home.” According to passengers, his face was bloodied from when he was initally removed from the flight.
United Continental Holdings, Inc., commonly referred to as United, is a major American airline headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The airlines was founded in 1926 and has a fleet of 738 aircraft and a staff of 86,000 employees.
Marvel has dropped the first trailer for this year’s Thor: Ragnarok. Check it out below.
The first two Thor movies have been some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s weaker efforts despite their impressive box office totals. The Thor character has always worked best when movies play his silly otherworldliness off his fellow Avengers. But with Ragnarok, director Taika Waititi is stripping Thor down to the minimum while pairing him with the Hulk on a distant planet. Basically, it’s a space road trip movie with superheroes which sounds both hilarious and awesome. Credit to Waititi for injecting some much-needed life and originality into the Thor franchise based on this early look.
Here’s the official plot synopsis for Thor: Ragnarok:
Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth) finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor’s quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela (Cate Blanchett) from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.
Fans seem to be responding well to this first trailer’s mix of action and humor, just take a look at Twitter.
Director: Taika Waitit Screenplay: Eric Pearson Release Date: November 3, 2017 Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo, Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson
Welcome to the world, folks, where our real president tweets about real war strategies and a fake president gets asked by the real Democratic party to run for a real office. Confusing, I know.
After years of playing President Selina Meyer on TV, it seems as though comedy veteran and total smoke Julia Louis-Dreyfus has caught some unwanted attention.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Louis-Dreyfus said she’s been approached by top level Democrats to run for office. While she told them it would never happen, the fact that actual politicians have approached an actress with zero political experience just shows the state of American politics.
What exact office she was asked to run for isn’t clear, but you have to imagine if the Democrats are trying to use someone with the star power of Dreyfus, they would be pushing her towards a pretty high office.
Now, I’m not saying she can’t do it. I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus more than the average 24-year-old. You’d be amazed how many people my age have never seen Seinfeld — it’s truly tragic. Sarah McLachlan should be making infomercials about millennials who haven’t seen Seinfeld, not dogs.
So, in case the whole Russia, North Korea, Syria, ISIS, Donald Trump thing didn’t already bum you out about American government, maybe this will.
Something very strange is happening with fashion these days and I blame rappers.
I can’t put my finger on when it started — maybe two years ago — but the clothes your dad would wear to the gym have now somehow become fashionable. ‘Homeless chic,’ as people jokingly call it.
Bomber jackets, sweatpants with the elastic ankles, windbreaker jackets and white socks, what was lame a decade ago is now in style. And it’s all because of people like Drake.
Luckily, I’m not the only one out there who thinks today’s new styles are ridiculous. Draymond Green agrees. This past weekend, the Warriors do-everything forward posted multiple Snapchats of himself laughing at Drake’s outfit, specifically his ankle region.
I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with Draymond Green about anything, but I guess there’s a first time for everything.
New York state is getting ready to offer tuition-free college education for select students. New York lawmakers approved the tuition initiative over the weekend as a part of the state budget. Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed the plan in January, which will see New York state supplement aid for in-state residents whose families earn $125,000 or less, providing tuition-free education at all state public two-year and four-year colleges.
“New York just became the first state in the nation to make tuition free for middle class students at both two- and four-year public colleges,” reported CNN.
This is a power move by New York and will provide greater educational opportunities to a wider range of kids. Seriously, the significance of this move can’t be understated. Not to get too heady on you, but Malcolm X once said that “educations is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” He’s right. Millennials love to complain about how screwed up the world is, but the only way to start fixing things is to learn and understand.
“Today, college is what high school was—it should always be an option even if you can’t afford it,” Gov. Cuomo said in a statement on the program’s inclusion in the state budget. “The Excelsior Scholarship will make college accessible to thousands of working and middle-class students and shows the difference that government can make.”
The program will be included over the next three years, starting in fall 2017 for New Yorkers earning up to $100,000 and increasing to $110,000 in 2018. New York officials believe it will help an estimated 940,000 families. Students will have to take 30 credits to qualify, according to CNN. Additionally, The Post reports that students under this bill will be required to remain and work in New York for as many years as they attended school.
Of course, free tuition doesn’t mean zero-cost college. Eligible New Yorkers will still be fronting the bill for room and board and other expenses. New York’s average in-state tuition of $7,710 for the 2016-17 academic year makes it the 12th-cheapest nationwide, based on data from the College Board. But, overall, this is a major step forward in terms of accessing a college education.
Jemima Kirke is best known for playing Jessa Johansson on the HBO series Girls, but she’s been up to much more than just that over the years.
Kirke, 31, is a British artist and actress who has been in the spotlight in one way or another for more than a decade. Born in London, she was raised in New York City in an artistic-minded home. Her pops is Simon Kirke, the former drummer of rock bands Bad Company and Free. Her mother, Lorraine Kirke, owns Geminola, a vintage boutique that provided a ton of outfits for Sex and the City. With a background like that, Jemima likely wasn’t heading into finance.
She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and prioritizes art over acting. However, having grown up with Girls creator Lena Dunham, she found herself accepting a handful of roles as favors to her friends.
She made her debut in the 2005 short film Smile for the Camera and starred in Dunham’s 2010 indie film Tiny Furniture. Kirke has been a regular on Girls since the show debuted in 2012. Aside from that, she can next be seen in the upcoming movie Untogether.
In the meantime, check out the gallery of photos we’ve put together of Jemima Kirke above.
According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, an annual spring break party known as Deltopia led to 40 arrests, 14 injuries, and 68 underage drinking citations.
The unsanctioned University of California event also led to several officers being injured, including one deputy suffering from a broken hand after struggling to arrest a 19-year-old man with an open container. Quick pro tip for police officers: if you don’t want to unnecessarily put your officers in harm’s way, don’t bust a bunch of college kids balls over some alcohol. Might help.
Known as Deltopia, the raucous street party held Saturday is popular among the mostly UC Santa Barbara students who live in the seaside enclave of Isla Vista, adjacent to the campus.
This year, police broke up about a dozen large gatherings in Isla Vista, tended to a 22-year-old woman who fell from a balcony, and arrested a teen who barricaded himself in a home for a half hour, according to Kelly Hoover, a spokeswoman for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities had seen the barricaded suspect, Arod Rahim, 19, about 2 p.m. with what appeared to be an open container, but he resisted arrest, causing a sheriff’s deputy to fall and suffer a broken hand, Hoover said.
The 19-year-old involved in the officer’s injury, Arod Rahim, is a 19-year-old UCSB student. He resisted the officer’s arrest and then barricaded himself inside of a home.
Three other Los Angeles men were arrested on charges of battery and battery with bodily injuries as well. The men arrested were Kyle Deville, 23, of Lancaster, Kameron Ramsey, 21, of Palmdale, and Antuan Malone, 26, of Pacoima.
Furthermore, a 22-year-old woman was taken to the hospital after falling off a balcony at Deltopia.
According to Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kelly Hoover, anywhere between 6,000 and 8,000 people attended the event in Isla Vista on Saturday, April 8.
Chris Brown and Lil Wayne are reportedly being investigated as targets in a federal drug investigation. Harrison Garcia, a Miami music producer, is currently on trial in the case and Garcia reportedly was connected to the rappers after he uploaded pictures on Instagram with them. The feds believe Brown and Wayne were involved with Garcia.
The investigation is said to involve thousands of dollars of drugs, along with lean. Supposedly, there was a $15,000 wire transfer from Garcia to Brown last year, allegedly for the narcotics. Brown definitely doesn’t have the cleanest rap sheet, considering everything that went down with his ex, Rihanna.
Garcia was first arrested back in October and he said that he sold “a lot of narcotics” to Lil Wayne. This was from a federal agent’s testimony. So much for not ratting out your “boys.” It seems Garcia has been spilling plenty of information to the feds.
Brown and Wayne could be in some deep shit here. To read more on the story, check out the full details on TMZ.
Irina Shayk is a 31-year-old Russian model who used to date Cristiano Ronaldo and is now dating Bradley Cooper so…yeah, you have no shot with her, buddy. Sorry.
But as a consolation prize: we’ve put together a very special gallery from her Instagram. Amazing photos, gorgeous girl…You’re welcome.
Shayk came to international fame in 2007 when she became the exclusive contracted face of Intimissimi lingerie and made her first appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Shayk also became the first Russian model to grace the cover in 2011. Basically, she’s crushing the game and it’s easy to see why.
Shayk had a rough upbringing in Yemanzhelinsk, USSR. Her father passed away when she was 14 and her mother was forced to work two jobs to support the family. But things began to change in 2004 when Shayk won the beauty contest “Miss Chelyabinsk.” Since 2007, she has appeared in every edition of SI’s Swimsuit Issue. Her other modeling credits include Victoria’s Secret, Lacoste, Cesare Paciotti and Morellato. She signed with IMG modeling agency in May 2009.
The Russian dime made her acting debut as Megara alongside Dwayne Johnson in the 2014 film Hercules.
Last month, Shayk and Cooper welcomed their first child (lucky bastard). Mazel Tov to the happy couple and their new baby.
Sarah Myers, a mother of five and a special education teacher from Illinois, has been arrested on multiple counts of sexual assault involving a student under the age of 18.
Myers, 40, was arrested on Wednesday, April 5, after officials at the North Boone School District contacted local authorities with allegations that Myers had sexually abused one of the students at North Boone High School.
According to her teacher page, Myers has been teaching math and special education at the North Boone School for three years.
North Boone School District officials alerted the Sheriff’s Department that Myers allegedly abused the student sexually. Following an investigation, a search warrant was executed in the 6800 block of Clarence Street in Garden Prairie, where detectives seized electronic equipment, cell phones and computers.
Superintendent Michael Greenlee issued a statement to parents following the arrest, saying the district is “shocked and disappointed to hear about these allegations.”
“The safety and welfare of our students is the top priority in our school district. Anytime you get a report of this nature you take it seriously. Our No. 1 concern is safety, and it’s important to relay that to the parents. Parents need to know you take it seriously.”
Myers, 40, of Garden Prairie, Illinois, has been charged with two counts of criminal sexual assault. Criminal sexual assault is a Class 1 felony punishable by anywhere between 4 to 15 years in jail. However, the investigation is underway and police say additional charges are possible.
Myers is being held in Boone County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with further information to call 815-544-2144, or to call the Boone County Crime Stoppers at 815-544-7867.
Raymond Myles, a 66-year-old Chicago judge, was shot and killed outside of his South Side home in the early morning hours of Monday, April 10.
Witnesses say they heard a woman’s screams coming from the home of Associate Judge Raymond Myles around 5:00 A.M. on Monday morning.
Myles was shot several times and died after being transported to Advocate Medical Center, while an unidentified 52-year-old woman was also shot. She remains in critical condition at the Advocate Medical Center, but is expected to survive.
Police say that the woman was walking out of her home around 5:00 A.M. when she was confronted by a gunman. While police believe that Myles and the woman were the victims of an attempted robbery, it does not appear as though any possessions were taken from either of them.
Citing preliminary information, police said the woman, 52, encountered the gunman by the garage of the two-story brick home in the 9400 block of South Forest Avenue around 4:50 a.m. Words were exchanged and she was shot once in the leg.
“Upon hearing the commotion and the gunshot, Judge (Raymond) Myles exited his residence,” Melissa Staples, the chief of detectives, said at a news conference at police headquarters. “(He) exchanged words with the offender before he was fatally shot multiple times.”
Staples said detectives were pursuing “multiple and promising leads” and reviewing video footage from public and private surveillance cameras in the neighborhood. She said detectives do not know if the judge’s work had anything to do with the shooting.
No arrests have been made so far and Staples said the FBI has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Authorities have yet to release a description of the gunman.
What Happened?
Raymond Myles, a 66-year-old Chicago judge, was shot and killed outside of his South Side home in the early morning hours of Monday, April 10.
Who Was Raymond Myles?
Myles, a 66-year-old associate judge in the Cook Country Circuit Court’s Criminal Division, was a longtime jurist who had been involved in several high-profile proceedings.
LeRoy K. Martin Jr., the presiding judge of the Criminal Division, described Myles as a ‘very’ fair judge.
“He was very patient with people and gave out a lot of tough love,” Martin said. “ …He would try and provide services for people, to work with people, and try to keep people out of the penitentiary.”
According to CNN, Myles was involved in the case against William Balfour, who was convicted of killing singer and actress Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and seven-year-old nephew. Myles was also involved in the case of the 1993 massacre at a Brown’s Chicken fast food restaurant in Palatine, Illinois.
There are reports of multiple gunshot victims and there is a possible active shooter at North Park Elementary School in San Bernardino. Find all the details and updates here.
Early reports indicate at least four people were shot and two adults, including the shooter, were killed. While the San Bernardino County Fire confirmed there were multiple victims, they did not provide a count.
Update 2:04 P.M.: Four injured, shooter down, threat contained, 2 students transported to the hospital, said Chief Jarrod Burguan.
The majority of the school has been cleared and a helicopter is on site to treat victims. Furthermore, according to the San Bernardino City Unified School District, North Park, Cajon Elementary School, and Hillside Elementary School have been placed on lockdown.
We believe this to be a murder suicide. Happened in a class room. Two students have been transported to the hospital.
Students at Cal State University San Bernardino were asked to shelter in place until further notice amid the report of an active shooter at the elementary school, which is located a a few blocks from campus, according to the college.
Eileen Hards, a spokeswoman with the San Bernardino Police Department, confirmed a shooter entered the school. She said they had no information on the victims, and the status of the shooter was not immediately known.
Police are headed to the scene, she added.

Charlize Theron is a well-known name among movie fans. The 41-year-old actress has been popular for 20 years going and can next be seen in the eighth installment of the franchise that just won’t quit, The Fate of the Furious.
Theron was born in South Africa but moved to the United States when she was 17 to pursue a modeling career. Taking one quick look at her and it’s easy to see why that decision was made; Theron is remarkably beautiful.
She made her film debut back in 1995 but first started to gain a little traction in the ’96 feature 2 Days in the Valley. In the late 1990s, Theron started to make a name for herself with impressive turns in box office hits such as The Devil’s Advocate (1997), Mighty Joe Young (1998) and The Cider House Rules (1999).
In 2003, Theron starred as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster, a performance that earned her an Academy Award win for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Movie critic Roger Ebert called it “one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema.” In 2005, Theron scored another Oscar nomination for her role in the docudrama North Country.
But she doesn’t just stroll red carpets. The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) was created in 2007 by Theron, a UN Messenger of Peace, in an effort to support African youth in the fight against HIV/AIDS. So not only is she incredibly gorgeous and talented, but Theron is also a good person unlike most of us.
Yeah, I feel inadequate.
Theron’s coolest recent role is undoubtedly as Imperator Furiosa in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road where she played an absolute badass.
Be sure to check out these amazing pictures of the Hollywood A-lister. Check them out above and enjoy.
So, United Airlines has had a rough couple of PR weeks.
First, they booted a woman off their plane for wearing leggings, which seems ridiculous at first, but pales in comparison to their latest debacle.
Shocking footage from a Sunday, April 9 United Airlines flight shows an Asian man being forcibly dragged off of a plane after refusing to volunteer to give up his seat for company employees.
The video, posted by Audra D. Bridges at 7:30 P.M. Sunday, shows three men wearing radio equipment and security jackets speaking to a man, who said he was a doctor, seated on the plane. A few seconds into the 31-second clip, one of the men grabs the passenger, who yells, and drags him toward the front of the plane.
Now, while the clip was frankly horrifying, the resulting memes have been nothing short of glorious.
United Airlines is pleased to announce new seating on all domestic flights- in addition to United First and Economy Plus we introduce…. pic.twitter.com/KQjPClU2d2
This week is Star Wars Celebration, which means we’re likely getting the first trailer for this year’s The Last Jedi, the eighth movie in the main saga. Few film franchises can claim such an impressive and longstanding streak.
Overall, Star Wars is the greatest sci-fi collection of all time. The Alien franchise got lost in orbit after the second installment and Star Trek has never reached the same heights despite its warp speed. Star Wars, which pioneered the sci-fi blockbuster as a viable Hollywood moneymaker, spans 40 years and remains one of the most beloved properties in all of entertainment. The Force is strong with this series.
In honor of The Last Jedi, we decided to rank all of the movies in the series to figure out which is the best. Note: This list only includes saga films, so no Rogue One.
7. Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones
Oh boy, where to begin? Attack of the Clones has fatal flaws throughout with no redeemable qualities à la the Darth Maul/Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi duel. I guess let’s start with the obvious.
Fans believed the mystique of Darth Vader could not sink any lower after his pint sized iteration in Episode I, but they were wrong. Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker couldn’t have been more off-putting. Thanks to the lethal combination of laughable dialogue and poor acting, the future Sith Lord more closely resembled a whiney punk than a galactic badass. It was a letdown of Jabba-sized proportions.
Elsewhere, Episode II suffered in every major movie-making department: script, characters, pacing, focus. Anakin and Padme’s love story is forced and awkward and the Jedi Council’s decision making is indefensible. It’s truly a nonsensical affair with as much CGI garbage stuffed into every frame as possible.
Lastly, how did George Lucas know audiences desperately wanted a Star Wars film about the minutiae of intergalactic politics and trade negotiations?! The man must be as prophetic as Yoda.
6. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace
Why isn’t The Phantom Menace in the bottom slot? For all of its problems – of which there are many – it still was the first Star Wars film in 16 years. Think of a time when you got laid after a particularly long dry spell; didn’t the anticipation make it better?
Sadly, nostalgia and excitement weren’t enough to save this movie. Jar-Jar was a racially insensitive misstep, child actors suck and the character development was nonexistent. Seriously, without describing her physical appearance or job, please try and describe Queen Amidala. She’s…monotonous? Whatever, anything was better than that conversation about sand.
Episode I also helped to destroy beloved Star Wars lore thanks to serious plot inconsistencies and the bonkers midi-chlorian explanation.
5. Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith
The newly minted Darth Vader summed up audience’s feelings about the final prequel pretty succinctly in Episode III.
Once again, terrible dialogue (“from my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”), poor story momentum and crazy character choices reared their ugly head in this movie. At no point did anyone ever buy Anakin’s turn to the Dark Side, making the Vader payoff feel completely unearned and downright disappointing. Though that fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mustafar is badass, the entire movie is weighed down by the poor execution of the inevitable.
Think about Rogue One: everyone had a general idea of how that film would end going in, but we were still engaged in the story thanks to the characters we grew to care about and the connections to the original trilogy. Lucas couldn’t pull off the same trick with most of us hoping that lava would finish off this lame and pouting version of Vader.
Shoutout to the High Ground, though.
4. Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope
The one that started it all.
A New Hope scored 11 total Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Alex Guinness crushing OG Obi-Wan). At the time, it was considered a startling advancement in filmmaking and special effects. But what really drew fans to this space opera was the iconic characters that shaped sci-fi archetypes to this day and the warm heart A New Hope boasted.
Also, samurai in space. What else do you need from a movie?
3. Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi
Ewoks suck, I grant you that. At times, Return of the Jedi felt more like an extended commercial for kids toys and Star Wars merchandise than an actual concluding chapter. But that scene between Luke, Vader and the Emperor…Wow. That’s how you do a high-quality drama crescendo. There was so much subtext and substance built into that scene over the course of the original trilogy that each line of dialogue connects to something powerful. It’s an emotional journey reaching a head for both Luke and his Pops.
Episode VI may not be the best of the bunch, but it is my favorite thanks to that confrontation.
2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Yes, The Force Awakens bears a striking resemblance to A New Hope, but if ain’t broke, you know?
The Force Awakens is by far the funniest Star Wars movie in the saga and masterfully blends old elements with new. Inserting Han Solo into the sage old mentor role previously filled by Obi-Wan helped connect both generations in an unexpectedly enjoyable way. It also didn’t hurt that Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren and Poe Dameron were all worthy successors to those that came before.
A modern take on a classic tale, The Force Awakens had to juggle more than any other movie in recent memory. The final product may not be perfect, but it is perfectly satisfying.
1. Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back
It’s no coincidence that the best Star Wars film is also the darkest. Wading around in uncertain, more adult territory does wonders for quality.
Episode V sees Han Solo’s true turn into a good guy, Luke’s progress as a Jedi Knight and Leia’s ongoing empowerment. From a character standpoint, no other film in the series makes as much progress. But I’m beating around the bush here. The true highlight of Empire is the climactic duel between Vader and Luke. No BS, I recently showed Episode V to a foreign friend who knew literally nothing about Star Wars and this was her shocked reaction:
Simply put, it’s the greatest reveal in cinematic history that still packs a punch to this day.
An unidentified Denver teenager has died after falling off of a second story roof at the Denver Academy while playing capture the flag.
While the identity of the 17-year-old boy has not been disclosed, officials say he was not a student at the school.
Denver Police arrived at the academy around 8:15 P.M. to respond to the boy’s fall. According to KVDR, the mother of one of the students who was there said they were playing capture the flag on the roof of the school when the boy misjudged the distance between two buildings.
He attempted to jump from one roof to the next, but failed, falling two stories to his death. Police say the death is considered accidental and they are not investigating it as a crime.
The teen was with two other friends at the school when he fell and struck his head, Denver Police Department spokesman John White said. He was transported to a hospital as police investigated the incident — which they said does not appear to be criminal — and was listed on Saturday afternoon as being in critical condition.
“I was at the scene last night and it’s our belief at this point that it was an accident,” White said Saturday. “There is no criminal nexus to it.”
The incident was initially reported by police as a death investigation at the private day school, located in the 4400 block of East Iliff Avenue, that serves grades 1-12.
Update:#DPD investigation at 4400 E. Iliff. Juvenile male now deceased. Denver Coroner will release identity of victim. Incident accidental.
My Dad had me on Seinfeld at a relatively young age. While all the peabrain millennials were wasting their time with Friends, I was catching up on episodes of Seinfeld that came out before I was born. So, it goes without saying that Elaine Benes, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, was one of the first women to get me woke to, well, women.
While most of the Seinfeld cast struggled to find work after the seminal show came to an end, Julia Louis-Dreyfus did the opposite and arguably became more famous.
Her next show, the CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, was a modest hit, but Louis-Dreyfus’ latest show, Veep, may go down as her defining role as she’s won five straight Emmys For Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
But despite the fact that Louis-Dreyfus has been in the industry for over three decades, she somehow, some way, seems to become more and more attractive as time goes on.
So here’s to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has figured out a way to become both funnier and hotter as she ages.
Angie Tribeca returns to TBS tonight at 10:30 P.M. ET with its third season premiere.

Vince McMahon announced last week that he’s ready to “shake things up again” in the WWE. I’m expecting some high-profile superstar swaps between the Raw, SmackDown, and possibly NXT rosters.
Who will make the jump? Will “The Architect” Seth Rollins set sail to SmackDown Live? AJ Styles is another name who is heavily rumored to switch brands tonight.
Another big name that may jump ship tonight is Shinsuke Nakamura. He made his WWE SmackDown debut last Tuesday, but it’s still possible that he’ll be traded to Monday Night Raw tonight.
There is so much to look forward to on tonight’s episode of Raw. Vince McMahon promises to “shake things up again in the WWE,” and he usually delivers on his promise. I wonder what kind of magic he’ll pull out his hat this time. Look below and find out how you can watch WWE Raw on your computer, TV, tablet or mobile device.
