Avatar: The Way of Waters first trailer invites you back – The Verge

Avatar: The Way of Water’s first trailer is finally here, and, strangely, it’s packing a conspicuous amount of heat. When last we saw Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) in the first Avatar, he’d more or less become the Na’vi’s savior after being adopted into their tribe, forgiven for being a human spy, and ultimately deciding to side with the aliens in their fight against humanity to save Pandora. By transferring his consciousness into the body of his human / Na’vi hybrid avatar, Jake was able to start a new life on Pandora — whose atmosphere is toxic to humans — alongside his chosen Na’vi mate, Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña). While Jake and Neytiri make their return in The Way of Water’s first trailer, this time around, it isn’t just the two of them. In the time between the first film and The W...

Chef Mario Batali on trial in Boston sexual misconduct case – The Associated Press – en Español

BOSTON (AP) — Celebrity chef Mario Batali’s pandemic-delayed trial on sexual misconduct allegations opens Monday in Boston. Batali pleaded not guilty to a charge of indecent assault and battery in 2019, stemming from accusations that he forcibly kissed and groped a woman after taking a selfie with her at a Boston restaurant in 2017. The woman says Batali noticed her photographing him and invited her to take one together, then touched and kissed her repeatedly without her consent. If convicted, Batali could face up to 2 1/2 years in jail and be required to register as a sex offender. He’s expected to be in court throughout the proceedings, which should last about two days once jury selection is complete, said Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden’s office. Lawyers for Batali didn’t...

Jessica Biel Is Candy, a Permed Housewife Acquitted After Hitting Her Friend With an Axe 41 Times – The Daily Beast

Candy, Hulu’s five-episode true-crime miniseries set in the suburbs of early-1980s Texas, asks two questions about its eponymous inspiration, Candace Montgomery.

A choir singer and Sunday school teacher, Candace Montgomery is a cheerful pillar of her community beloved by children and adults alike.
