Chad Smith and Matt Cameron apologise to Foo Fighters for Taylor Hawkins touring comments – NME

Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Chad Smith and Pearl Jam‘s Matt Cameron have apologised for comments they made in a recent Rolling Stone article about the time leading up to the death of Foo Fighters‘ Taylor Hawkins, distancing themselves from the piece. The Rolling Stone story, citing Hawkins’ friends – including Smith and Cameron – asserts that Hawkins had grown increasingly uncomfortable with the band’s touring schedule. The drummer allegedly told the band that he was struggling to keep up with the physical demands of three-hour concerts night after night. Cameron, who played with Hawkins in the side project Nighttime Boogie Association, is quoted in the story as saying: “He had a heart-to-heart with Dave [Grohl] and, yeah, he told me that he ‘couldn’t fucking do it anymore’ — those were hi...

She-Hulk series gets first trailer and Disney Plus release date – Gamesradar

The very first She-Hulk trailer is here and it confirms the previously leaked August 17 release date for the Disney Plus series. The trailer starts off with some words of advice from seasoned superhero Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who we get to see as the Hulk – specifically his Professor Hulk persona introduced in Avengers: Endgame – for the first time since Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. More importantly, we finally have our first look at Tatiana Maslany as the titular attorney at law, Jennifer Walters. Walters is a reluctant superhero who just wants to be a normal, non-green attorney, date around, and enjoy time with her friends, but she's afflicted with a familiar and terrifying problem: she transforms into She-Hulk when she's angry or scared. Naturally, as the only o...

‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ is Julian Fellowes’s Finest Fan Service – The Ringer

“Times change, and we must change with them,” mousy maid Baxter declares early in Downton Abbey: A New Era. Baxter is the third and least duplicitous of the lady’s maids who’ve attended to Cora Crawley since Downton Abbey began; she’s also the latest in a long line of characters who’ve advocated for a different way of doing things, usually over the objections of frowning butlers or lords who pine for Victorian times. Agents of change have always had it hard within the world of Downton: They die in car crashes or in childbirth, or discover that upon further reflection they could get used to being rich and pampered. Change has also been scarce behind the scenes, where series creator Julian Fellowes has soloed every script throughout the years. Downton has always been about the end of an...

COVID reinfection likely to become more common without variant-specific vaccines, experts say – WLS-TV

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Infectious disease specialists say COVID reinfection is likely to become more and more common as the virus keeps mutating and our vaccines play catch-up. "The variants seem to be very good at evading the immunity of prior infection," said Dr. Max Brito, UIC Health. Chicago Bulls All Star Zach LaVine recently missed a playoff game due to his third bout with COVID. Like in his case, reinfection is becoming more common even among people who became infected during the omicron surge. RELATED: IL reports 5,327 new COVID cases, 14 deaths Experts say while prior infection does give you an initial boost of antibodies, with omicron sub-variants it doesn't last long. "You have the potential for new waves with a lot infection and waning protection from the vaccine," Brito said. A Ru...

Marvel Fans Upset Over She-Hulk CGI In New Trailer – The Direct

Hulk has long been pushed aside in the MCU as the green Avenger hasn't starred in a solo outing since 2008's The Incredible Hulk - in which he was played by Edward Norton. Marc Ruffalo has taken over as Bruce Banner for eight live-action appearances, but he has yet to take the solo spotlight again. To some degree, that all changes this year with She-Hulk. The nine-episode Disney+ legal comedy will star Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner who gets her own gamma green transformation after a blood transfusion. Marvel Studios has introduced plenty of CGI characters over the years, but this will be the first time a motion-capture character will take the leading role on Disney+.

Matt Cameron and Chad Smith distance themselves from “misleading” Foo Fighters article – Louder

Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Pearl Jam and Soundgarden sticksman Matt Cameron have both put distance between themselves and an article in Rolling Stone about late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. In the article, both Cameron and Smith are quoted as saying that Foo Fighters' touring schedule had been detrimental to Hawkins' health. Cameron claimed that Hawkins had spoken to Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl about the pressure he felt, but that the band's schedule "got even crazier after that.” Smith, meanwhile, referred to an incident when Hawkins had apparently lost consciousness aboard a plane in Chicago last December, leading to the cancellation of a show at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The band's management reacted to both stories, saying that the meeting d...

Downton rekindles that old feeling in A New Era – The A.V. Club

Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, and Laura Carmichael in Downton Abbey: A New EraImage: Ben Blackall / 2022 Focus Features LLC Rejoice, Downtonians! Downton Abbey: A New Era is a worthy entry in Julian Fellowes’ beloved franchise. You were right to be concerned, of course. The acclaimed TV drama’s first foray onto the big screen, 2019’s Downton Abbey, felt like a glorified holiday special; it’s no surprise that Parasite, the far superior take on the same Upstairs, Downstairs premise, completely overshadowed it in terms of cultural significance. And the fact that Focus Features twice postponed A New Era, from December 2021 to March and then to May, wasn’t exactly reassuring. But the sequel manages to rekindle that old feeling right from the opening frames, set to the same John Lunn ...
