By Kristin Nord NEW LONDON, CONN. – By some accounts, Frank Vincent DuMond (1865-1951) is perhaps the most important American arts educator of the Twentieth Century, but his talents have resided largely under the radar. "The Prismatic Palette: Frank Vincent DuMond and His Students," however, on view at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum through October 3, will go a long way toward burnishing DuMond's reputation. The exhibition, drawn from both public and private collections, and curated by Tanya Pohrt, PhD, reveals DuMond as a gifted young artist who would deploy the lessons he'd garnered in an early professional life to shape his work and philosophy in the classroom. "Like many artists of his generation," Jeffrey Andersen, the former director of the Florence Griswold Museum, and author of The Harmony of Nature: The Art and Life of Frank Vincent DuMond , writes, ...

One of the most memorable lines in Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" arrives early. Jack Nicholson's mob boss Frank Costello is lecturing young Colin Sullivan when Scorsese cuts to one of Costello's murders. Costello shoots a woman from behind on a beach. "She fell funny," the mob boss tells his partner, played by Ray Winstone. It's a twisted line that could have been even more twisted had Scorsese approved a surprise Nicholson rewrite of the cutaway scene. Matt Damon joined Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast this week and revealed Nicholson's plan to extend the brief sequence. "The scene was one-eighth of a page. It said, 'Costello executes a man kneeling in the marsh.' That's all it said," Damon said (via Uproxx). "Jack was so excited and said [to me], 'Wait until you hear what I did.' He goes, 'Well, it was an eighth of a page,' and he goes, 'I've seen that before, so what I did is I ma...

It has been a while since director James Wan has gifted us with an original horror film, but we won't have to wait much longer. That's because the first poster for his Giallo-inspired slasher Malignant has been released, courtesy of Bloody Disgusting. The poster promises a "new vision of horror" as our main character Madison ( Annabelle Wallis ) comes eye-to-eye with a mysterious sword. This weapon has already been teased to be a major part of the film thanks to an ominous photo posted by Wan in January. This new art also harkens back to infamous eye trauma scenes that helped establish Italy as a force in the horror genre, such as the eye-piercing scene in Zombi 2 or the witch execution in Black Sunday . These comparisons could be well-earned, as Malignant has already scored an R rating for strong violence and gruesome images. Wallis will be joined by Maddie Hasson, Mckenna Grace, Jake Abel, George ...

In the animated adaptation of Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One , actor Josh Duhamel ( Transformers, Jupiter's Legacy ) played Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent. But in the upcoming second chapter, Duhamel finally transforms into Two-Face, one of the Dark Knight's most infamous foes. We got to chat with Duhamel about his transition from Batman's ally into one of his greatest rogues of all time. Nerdist: Playing Harvey Dent is really playing two people, two different roles. Given the nature of who he is, how did you create the character? Or characters, actually. Josh Duhamel : Harvey Dent is a guy who's kind of a slow burn. We got to see this internalized beast bubbling up [in Batman: The Long Halloween Part One ]. As for finding who Two-Face is though, it took me a minute to figure out exactly what this guy even sounded like. There's a lot that went into that. Warner Bros. Animation  Nerdist: There have been lots of great iterations of Harvey over ...

Out with the old, in with the new is how the old saying goes. This certainly applied to the network's perception of "Charmed" in the mid-2000s. As Variety notes, the WB-UPN merger in 2006 changed the landscape of television and changes naturally occurred. While some of The WB's more popular shows, such as "Smallville," were picked up again, the deal marked a rebirth of sorts. This led to the creation of The CW and a new era for television, which meant that some programs didn't survive the changeover. Unfortunately, "Charmed" was one of the shows not to be picked up for another season following the merger, and the rest is history. That being said, the cast and crew claim otherwise (according to IMDb), noting that "Charmed" ended on its own terms after they saw the writing on the wall. In an interview with TV Guide prior to the final season (via Fandom), executive producer Brad Kern explained that The CW was focuse...

It's not April 25 but we'd still say July 26 is the perfect day. Why? Because it's Sandra Bullock 's birthday, of course. Throughout her illustrious career, the actress, turning 57 today, has kept us laughing, crying and dancing from the windows to the walls. So, needless to say, we're always looking for a reason to celebrate her—and discuss her iconic resume of romantic comedies. Seriously, could you imagine the entertainment world without her? We don't even want to think about it! Sure, we loved her in  Ocean's 8  and other amazing dramas like  Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,   Gravity and  The Blind Side , which earned her an Oscar in 2010. And yes, her films like  Hope Floats  and  The Lake House  are too good not to watch more than once, but her rom-com history— While You Were Sleeping,   The Proposal, Miss Co...

Pic centers around Violet Calder (Munn), who realizes her life has been built on a foundation of lies after a friend's off-hand comment to her.

Retail traders on social media are trying on Wednesday what even Natasha Romanoff, aka the "Black Widow", couldn't do on Monday or Tuesday: lift the share price of AMC Entertainment AMC, +8.00% . Despite the blockbuster return of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to big screens on Friday with Scarlett Johansson's standalone "Widow" film hauling in $80 million to break the previous post-pandemic record of "F9"s $70 million opening weekend in June, shares of cinema chain AMC fell almost 15% on the first two trading days of the week, a drop that maddened bullish investors in AMC on internet platform Reddit. Rallying around the fact that AMC announced on Monday morning that "Approximately 3.2 million people watched movies at AMC's United States and international theatre locations between Thursday, July 8 and Sunday, June 11," the highest turnout in 16 months, retail traders blamed the stock drop on...

John Cornell, the Australian director and writer whose longtime friendship and comedy partnership with actor Paul Hogan led to the pair's word on Crocodile Dundee and other film and TV projects, died today at his home in Byron Bay, New South Wales following a two-decade battle with Parkinson's disease. He was 80. His death was announced by his family, including wife Delvene Delaney, an Australian TV personality.

"A classic Australian character, John Cornell made the lives he touched much richer, not only through donations, but also through his generosity of spirit, humour, humility and honour. "A true egalitarian, John sought equity and equality, and fought for a fair go." Watch on Deadline Born in Ka...

For decades, Barbara Walters has been described as a broadcast pioneer—and with good reason. In 1974, Walters became the first female host of the "Today" show. In 1976, she became the first woman to serve as a network-news anchor. In 1984, she moderated the first Presidential debate between Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan. Since then, she has interviewed everyone from Fidel Castro to Kim Kardashian. Her ABC talk show, "The View," which she created in 1997, has received twenty-nine Daytime Emmy Awards and maintains an audience of three million viewers. Walters, who is eighty-three, will retire next year, but her impact on both her profession and her audience would be hard to overstate. That's why it is so distressing to add another first to the list of Walters's achievements: Jenny McCarthy, who will join "The View" in September, will be the show's first co-host whose dangerous views on childhood vaccination may—if only indirectly—have contribu...

After getting snubbed 10 seasons straight for playing Monica Geller on "Friends," Courteney Cox finally landed an Emmy nomination this week.

The show was nominated for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded), scoring Cox and her fellow castmates and executive producers recognition. They're up against "Bo Burnham: Inside," "David Byrne's American Utopia," Dave Chappelle's "8:46," "Hamilton" and "A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote." "Friends" was one of the highest-rated shows on TV during its 10-season run on NBC, 1994-2004. The series provided a breakthrough role for Cox, who was born and raised in Birmingham, and cemented her fame as an actress. Her character, Monica Geller, was a neat-freak chef who could be bossy, obsessive, anxious, wacky, ...
