15+ min ago (307+ words) And so, like many films this year, "Hamnet" is about the cathartic power of art; as a portal to emotion, as a way to say the things that can't be said, sincerely, face-to-face, and Zhao conveys that with an unapologetically earnest and stripped-bare emotion " guileless, unafraid. Within Zhao's artistic portal that is "Hamnet," Buckley is otherworldly: channeling something that feels ancient, mysterious, unknowable. Mescal is similarly inscrutable at times, only rarely allowing William's emotion to physically surface, rather, pouring it onto the stage.

There are a few leading moments where Zhao slightly…...

18+ min ago (561+ words) Former LSU football coach Brian Kelly received a letter from LSU on Wednesday confirming he was fired without cause and is owed "liquidated damages as required" under his contract of about $54 million. LSU spells out in Wednesday's letter that Kelly has a legal obligation to make "good-faith, reasonable and sustained efforts" to get another job in football while he still is being paid by LSU. Under Kelly's contract, salary from a new football-related job would offset what he is owed by LSU. The 10-year contract, worth close to $100 million, runs through 2031, unless the sides agree to a settlement severing their legal relationship before then. Kelly's lawsuit, filed in civil district court in Baton Rouge, alleged that LSU representatives had told Kelly's attorneys that the coach was never "formally terminated" the day after LSU's 49-25 loss to No. 3 Texas A&M on…...
