Since moving from Paris Saint-Germain, Messi is having a huge impact on the pitch, as well as off it. Messi spoke with actor Owen Wilson after the game between LAFC and Inter Miami.

☆ Wall Street is finding the silver lining on inflation, but how long will the 'good' times last?

But on Wall Street, a crisis is just a bit of financial engineering away from becoming an opportunity to make money. That's where inflation traders come in. The strategy of betting on the swings in consumer prices has exploded in recent years, with revenues from inflation trading going from $700 million in 2019 to $3.9 billion in 2022. And while inflation trading has the potential to generate some big returns, making your money back on hires like these might be a tall task if inflation has a short shelf life. More on where the top players in inflation trading are landing amid a heated war for talent.

☆ A YouTuber used AI to reimagine 'Star Wars' as a quirky Wes Anderson film featuring pink Stormtroopers, a well-lit cantina, and Jeff Goldblum as Emperor Palpatine

A YouTube channel posted a clip of a fake "Star Wars" episode directed by Wes Anderson. Anderson — known for light-hearted and offbeat humor, quirky characters, and his hallmark cinematic symmetry — would probably never be called to direct a "Star Wars" movie. "This summer, Wes Anderson brings you a side of the Star Wars universe that you've never seen before: 'The Galactic Menagerie,'" the narrator says in the video. It seems that the video's release was perfectly timed, as Wes Anderson, Star Wars, and AI have all been points of cultural conversation recently." "At this stage, a guy on a laptop can't create AI content that matches the quality of Wes Anderson," Ward said.

☆ ‘Paint’ Review: Owen Wilson at the Easel

When folks ask me what movies I’ve seen lately that I like, I always respond with enthusiasm. Ten minutes later, when I’m out of breath, comes the inevitable response: “Well, I’ve never heard of that one,” people always say, eyeing me with suspicion, as though I might have imagined the entire experience. “Paint,” whose marketing budget appears to be in the pennies, is my current answer. It’s unlikely to rival “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” for brand awareness. However, it is the year’s sweetest cinematic surprise so far, containing much of the childlike tenderness and dry whimsy of a Wes Anderson film, minus that director’s sometimes-suffocating obsession with surfaces.

Centering on Julia Roberts and George Clooney, two great, aging stars of rom-coms past, “Ticket to Paradise” was always going to be a throwback. Clooney and Roberts play David and Georgia Cotton, a long-divorced couple. The divorced couple who reconcile is an old rom-com trope. Even young gorgeous individuals in a tropical paradise aren’t as effortlessly, gracefully charming as George Clooney and Julia Roberts batting putdowns back and forth. That’s ultimately also the biggest similarity between the two generations of rom-com love.
