READ MORE Terry Gilliam refused to give up on this passion project, and the results (mostly) prove his point. As the lights dimmed and Terry Gilliam’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” began, it hit me that I was seeing a movie that I never imagined would be made in my lifetime. Gilliam clearly realizes that most in the audience are hearing my reaction, as the pre-title credits declare “and finally, a movie 25 years in the making.” I’d have to think back as far as opening night of “Eyes Wide Shut” or the first screening of “The Phantom Menace” (both the same summer) to compare another experience where a film’s opening day anticipation and pre-release legacy was equally staggering. Adam Driver stars as Toby, a narcissistic, self destructive filmmaker who appears to have sold out and developed a detached mean streak in his life and work. While filming his latest project in Spain, Toby reminisces (in cleve...

READ MORE There will be more challenges to come next year with the venue to host international cricket through to mid March, a week out from the likely start of the AFL season. There has been increased traffic on the SCG this football season due to the redevelopment of the adjacent Allianz Stadium. That venue is not expected to be open until early 2022. Outside of the cricket season, the SCG usually stages AFL and some NRL matches but has also hosted Super Rugby and A-League games. The surface, which has been branded as “dangerous” and “unsafe”, was shredded by scrums during a Super Rugby game between the Waratahs and the Reds, forcing the Trust to replace 3,000 square metres of turf. Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat was furious after midfielder Terry Antonis hurt his knee on the cricket square in an A-League game in April though he was later cleared of serious damage.

READ MORE With the Big Three – Federer, Nadal and world number one Novak Djokovic – showing little signs of giving up their stranglehold of men’s tennis, Federer is aware that when they do eventually retire, it will leave a gaping hole in the sport. “It’s hard to reinvent the wheel, but of course maybe Rafa, Novak, and me, we have something special, whatever that is. It’s maybe a combination of many things,” said Federer. “But sure, I think a lot of my fans or Novak’s fans or Rafa’s fans, when either one of us retires, we’ll feel a bit of a void. But I think it will just take a few years after that to fall in love with another player because if you love tennis, you don’t love the game because of one player. I think it’s because of the sport and what it does to you and how you feel about it.” Reuters Article source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sbsnews-topstories/~3/2io1UarGQjc/a-breakthrough-and-fundin...

READ MORE Verona: Richard Carapaz became the first rider from Ecuador to win a grand tour when he claimed the Giro d’Italia title on Sunday. Richard Carapaz has become the first rider from Ecuador to win a grand tour. Credit: AP The Movistar rider snatched the overall lead with a solo win in the 14th stage and retained the pink jersey after Sunday’s final stage, a 17-kilometre individual time trial won by American Chad Haga. Italian Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida), chasing a third title, finished second overall 1 min 5 secs behind Carapaz, with Slovenian Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) taking third place 2 mins 30 sec off the pace. Carapaz’s value will skyrocket after the win – his contract with Spanish outfit Movistar runs out at the end of the year, placing him in prime position to negotiate a more lucrative deal.
