Robert Englund doc takes deep dive into man behind Freddy Krueger

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:34:42 GMT

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Actor Robert Englund is best known for portraying one of the biggest horror icons of all time, Freddy Krueger, in Wes Craven’s massively popular “A Nightmare on Elm Street” film franchise.When he was approached by directors Gary Smart and Christopher Griffiths and writer Neil Morris a couple of years ago about being the sole subject of a documentary, he was hesitant at first. While he’s appeared in many horror documentaries, he wasn’t interested in taking a deep dive into his villainous character, but rather sharing how he got to that place and what his life and career have been like since.Luckily, all parties were in agreement, and they began interviewing Englund about his life on film at his home in Laguna Beach. They also filmed interviews with several peers including his “A Nightmare on Elm Street” co-star Heather Langenkamp, “Candyman” actor Tony Todd, “Insidious” star Lin Shaye, and “Friday the 13th” actor Kane Hodder. “Hatchet” director Adam Green and “Cabin...

NHL Notes: Kyle Dubas has his work cut out in Pittsburgh

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:34:42 GMT

In the end, Kyle Dubas got what he wanted. Now he has to deliver, and it won’t be easy.Just minutes before his former team the Toronto Maple Leafs’ introductory press conference for new GM Brad Treliving, the Fenway Sports Group’s Pittsburgh Penguins announced that they had hired Dubas.Meow.But the curiously timed announcement was not to say that Dubas was hired for the vacant GM’s job but rather that he’s the new President of Hockey Operations and that he’ll be interim GM until he hires someone for the job (i. e. another analytics-minded “progressive” candidate he can tell what to do).If Leafs head hockey honcho Brendan Shanahan thought that Dubas was after his job, or a good chunk of his power, who could blame him?But leaving all the power play drama aside, one thing is clear. The job that Dubas has in front of him is going to be a lot more difficult than the one he left behind, even without the frenzy that accompanies all things Leafs.When Duba...

Top tips for runners to stay safe while logging miles

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:34:42 GMT

Dear Mayo Clinic: I’m training for my first long-distance race, and I want to be safe on my runs. Unfortunately, due to where I live, the weather is often a challenge. On other days, I’m finding I cannot get in my miles until after dusk. I’m wondering if you have any advice for staying injury-free in cold, rainy or dark conditions?Answer: Training for a distance race means logging a lot of miles — sometimes in cold, rainy or hot weather, sometimes in the early morning or in the evening, sometimes on streets or country roads. No matter the weather, time of day or route, taking precautions to be safe during all your training runs is important.There are many things to consider safety-wise when outdoors, but among the top on my list are being visible, whether to drivers, bicyclists or other runners on the road or trail; preventing injury; and being able to summon help if you need it.You can address these concerns by developing and practicing safe running habits.

No stranger to Dodger Stadium, Jake Bauers sparks Yankees with 2 home runs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:34:42 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Jake Bauers had never played in a major league game at Dodger Stadium until Friday, but the Yankees outfielder is no stranger to Chavez Ravine.Bauers, a Newport Beach native who starred for Marina High School in Huntington Beach, played for a CIF Southern Section Division 1 championship at the ballpark as a high school senior in 2013. But Bauers, a childhood Angels fan, did not come away with a section title, and he only flew out and walked a few times while current Cardinals starter Jack Flaherty blanked Marina.“I remember getting shut out and losing, 1-0,” Bauers told the Daily News, “and crying down the first baseline when the game was over.”Saturday’s game at Dodger Stadium went much better for Bauers.With friends and family in attendance — including his parents, wife and in-laws — Bauers recorded the first multi-homer game of his career with a pair of two-run bombs off Los Angeles starter Michael Grove.

TV Q&A: Has ‘Yellowstone’ been put out to pasture?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:34:42 GMT

You have questions. I have some answers.Q: I have watched “Yellowstone” but have not heard if it is going to continue. I’m hoping it will be. Would appreciate any info you have.A: Yes, “Yellowstone” will continue, and then it will not. The rest of the most recent, fifth season will air on Paramount Network beginning in November. When those episodes are done, so is the series. Conflicts with star Kevin Costner over the shooting schedule reportedly led to the show’s demise. But the planning has gone forward on a so-far-untitled sequel which will begin airing in December; reports indicate that Matthew McConaughey will star in it along with some of the “Yellowstone” regulars.Q: It seems I recollect several scenes in the 1976 version of “Midway,” featuring Mariette Hartley as Matt Garth’s love interest. However, in the many times I’ve watched the movie in more recent years, those scenes no longer exist. Am I just imagining Hartley in that movie?A: You have encountered a TV oddity, ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:34:42 GMT

Q. I’ve been told I’m supposed to train all the summer interns starting the first week of June. There are 30 of them. This is in addition to all of my work. I asked my boss how I am supposed to handle everything and if I can get help and he just said, “Deal with it.” I feel like I’m already sinking though. Help?A. Let’s start with the good news: You were proactive and articulate with your boss in expressing your concerns. And you’re going to train all of the interns — more than two dozen of them — no easy feat! That will look great on your resume. See where I’m going with this here?Since you don’t have the support you need, you may want to immediately start looking for a new job.I’m assuming you won’t get paid a bonus or anything additional for taking on this new responsibility in addition to your current workload.Another option is to go over your boss’s head to get support in the short term, but tha...
