From coffee to spices, jewelry, and vintage pieces, we’re highlighting some of the Black-owned business that you can support on Juneteenth and beyond. If you’re not educated about Juneteenth, the holiday commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved Black Americans in Texas, were finally told that slavery had been abolished (more than two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation). Black communities have been celebrating Juneteenth for generations, but it officially became a national holiday earlier this week....

Perhaps more speculative than “Columbus” yet no less poignant, Kogonada’s second feature “After Yang” is the kind of cozy sci-fi marvel that can only be made by someone with an incorruptible belief in the life of objects and the humanity of all things. The story, adapted from a wry piece of short fiction by the writer Alexander Weinstein, is a wisp of an idea that doesn’t amount to a plot so much as a prompt....

Butler has been a theatrical draw, but what’s of note is unlike many VOD-centric action originals released by Vertical and others, this one found an elevated response at a PVOD price and with minimal marketing. It’s also #3 at Vudu (Google Play reporting lags, as usual), and it’s another example of the often-eccentric universe that creates the home-viewing charts. This week also saw the reduced-price “The Lost City” (Paramount/$5.99) at #1 on both Google Play and iTunes (which rank by sales activity, not revenue) while also streaming at Paramount +....

“They once put me in a situation that was like, I was in jail being raped by various inmates and I was at the end of my rope,” DeVito said. “This was not recent. This was a while ago. Somewhere in the middle. And I got a script that my assistant said, ‘Oh, the guys, Charlie [Day] and Glenn [Howerton] and Rob [McElhenney] called up this morning.’ I was going to work that day....

Earlier: Anne Heche has been declared legally dead at the age of 53, TMZ reports, a week after a car crash that took place in Los Angeles on Friday, August 5. The actress spent the week in the hospital, where she was treated for a pulmonary injury and severe burns before passing away on August 12. She had been in a coma the entire time. When her vehicle burst into flames, the smoke inhalation resulted in oxygen not getting to her brain, which caused irreparable brain damage....

There will, however, be an in-person event in November on Thanksgiving weekend, but even organizers are managing expectations for the gathering, which has been purposely packaged as a “special edition.” “The show is not Comic-Con, our massive convention held in July. Comic-Con Special Edition is expected to be a show of fewer days with a smaller gathering of attendees and fans,” Comic-Con spokesman David Glanzer told IndieWire. The likely result is that it will be a whopping three years between the last full-fledged San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 and the next edition, presumed to be in 2022....

“We didn’t get to speak too much before the actual read-through,” Foster said. “We just sort of kind of waved from across the room and then sat down at the table. And as you launched into Hannibal Lecter, I felt a chill come over the room. In a way, it was like we were almost too scared to talk to each other after that.” Foster wasn’t the only one terrified of Hopkins on the set....
