Here's a complete breakdown of the finale of "Fargo" season five. Sheriff Tillman is arrested and ends up in prisonJon Hamm as Sheriff Roy Tillman in the "Fargo" season five finale. So, does 'Fargo' season 5 connect to previous seasons? Sienna King as Scotty Lyon and Juno Temple as Dot Lyon in the "Fargo" season five finale. Unfortunately, there aren't any overt connections between "Fargo" season five and the previous seasons, which is surprising considering the Easter eggs that have popped up before.

CNN —Back in September, the Miami Dolphins put up a historic scoreline. “The Dolphins offense has underperformed and been in the shadow of the clubs’ defense for decades,” Joe Schad, a Dolphins journalist for the Palm Beach Post, told CNN Sport. “They’re feared for the first time since legendary quarterback Dan Marino was under center.”The Mike McDaniel effectOften decked out in aviator sunglasses and white sneakers, Coach McDaniel is part-quote machine, part-football geek, part-stand-up comedian and part-offensive guru. McVay became the youngest NFL head coach when he was hired by the Los Angeles Rams at the age of 30 in 2017. Tua Tagovailoa, the NFL's only left-handed starting quarterback, spearheads the Dolphins offense.

What legal rights, if any, Trump's campaign may have over the mug shot's reproduction are unclear, however. The former president told Fox News Digital in an interview Thursday night that he only did the mug shot because Georgia officials insisted. Rick Wilson, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project flogging mug shot wares online, dared Trump's campaign to sue him in a Friday post on X.

Early in the scrum of the 2016 presidential campaign, the political strategist Rick Wilson bumped into an old boss and strongly advised him not to cast his lot with Donald J. Trump. No good would come of it. “Even if he wins, he’s going to destroy you,” Mr. Wilson remembered telling Rudolph W. Giuliani. “This guy’s going to humiliate you.”Mr. Wilson recalled being dismissed as a provincial Floridian unable to understand the bond between two New Yorkers — outer-borough strivers who walked the Manhattan streets with proprietary airs and were now within grasp of once-unimaginable power. “He’s going to take care of me,” Mr. Wilson said Mr. Giuliani would tell those around him.

“I’d been trying to direct a movie since 2015,” Wilson told me over coffee at a West Village bistro. “No offense, but that’s not how you deal with a problem,” Wilson chuckled. “The Red Door” confronts the trauma of that earlier film from the perspective of a father-son relationship. I asked Wilson if his sons — one is heading to college soon — send him curt one-word texts. “Nah, we have a great relationship,” said Wilson, who since 2005 has been married to the actress Dagmara Dominczyk (Karolina in “Succession”).

☆ ‘Insidious: The Red Door’ Review: The Ghost of Jump Scares Past
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Jason Zinoman | More About Jason Zinoman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

“Insidious,” whose fifth installment opened Friday, is a second-tier horror franchise — it’s not even the best James Wan franchise starring Patrick Wilson, which would be “The Conjuring” — with a few elite jump scares, including one of the best in the genre. In the original in 2010, Lorraine Lambert (Barbara Hershey) is telling her son, Josh (Wilson), about a horrible dream when a red-faced demon suddenly appears behind his head. It’s a magnificent shock because of the askew blocking, the patient misdirection of the editing and Hershey’s committed performance. In “Insidious: The Red Door,” a grim, workmanlike effort that collapses into woo-woo nonsense, Wilson makes his directorial debut, and demonstrates he grasps the importance of that jump scare, which is sketched in charcoal on paper next to his name in the opening credits. This prickly relationship is at the center of the movie, as dad drives his son to college.

☆ A former GOP strategist says Tucker Carlson would be a huge threat to Trump if the ex-Fox News host were to run for president in 2024

Tucker Carlson would be a real threat to Trump if he were to run in 2024, says ex GOP strategist Rick Wilson. He'd instantly have an online fundraising juggernaut second only to Trump, and perhaps surpassing him," Wilson, who served as a strategist for former President George H.W. Wilson is now a staunch Trump critic and one of the cofounders of The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super PAC. Even Trump's GOP would never vote for a former TV host pushing white replacement theory.' Trump and Carlson text each other often and are the closest they've ever been, The New York Times reported this week.

☆ ‘M3GAN,’ the next generation of creepy doll movies, is not playing around
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-23 | by ( Dan Heching | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

“M3GAN” doesn’t hit theaters until January, but the movie’s quick, zeitgeist-piercing creepiness as seen in the teaser is something to behold. “I was always thinking of her as real,” “M3GAN” director Gerard Johnston told CNN of his approach. Universal PicturesJohnstone set out to make Megan (short for “Model 3 generative android,” Williams explains in the trailer) more than just a creepy inanimate doll. “Because she is a living doll… [‘M3GAN’ is a] cautionary tale about A.I. Like creepy doll movies, stories that explore evil and/or self-aware technology call to mind the troublesome and blurry line where the inanimate object ends, and where something akin to humanity – but somehow different – begins.

☆ Showtime’s ‘Lincoln Project’ doc, like the super PAC, is noisy but not all that effective

Showtime’s five-part docuseries about The Lincoln Project, the super PAC founded by multiple well-known Republican strategists and operatives with a shared contempt for Donald Trump, reminds me a lot of the organization’s work in 2020: noisy but not necessarily all that effective in realizing its stated goals. It’s not that The Lincoln Project founders shouldn’t be proud of the house they built. We also definitely didn’t need so much footage of various fans — including celebrities — and Lincoln Project members talking about how cool, popular and great the organization is. At the time of that revelation, not even The Lincoln Project disputed it. And while I won’t deny the coverage The Lincoln Project garnered during and after the 2020 election, is it all that hard to troll someone like Trump?
