These gruesome events all take place within the first 100 days of a journey that will languish for 700 more, as the naive Iver and his headstrong leader Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen (co-writer Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) are eventually reduced to lancing each other’s neck boils and fighting over the faraway women who visit their sex dreams at night. If this all sounds like it has — or at least should have — the makings of a brutal, “The Revenant”-esque saga about men vs....

A follow-up to her 2001 book “Call Me Crazy,” the memoir will be released by Start Publishing in January 2023. An excerpt from the upcoming memoir includes Heche discussing her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres, whom she dated in the late 1990s. “I was labeled ‘outrageous’ because I fell in love with a woman.
