Through the extremely publicized Ben Simmons fiasco in Philadelphia, the 76ers had various commerce choices. In the long run, they ended up with James Harden.

Given the state of affairs and every thing that is occurred since, buying Harden was not a foul return. Even when issues did not finish effectively, he did higher than Simmons would have. Nevertheless, what makes issues worse is questioning the place the Sixers could be had they acquired Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton as a substitute — since he was an possibility.

In an interview with 97.5 The Fanatic, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Keith Pompey confirmed that Haliburton was on the desk however defined why they handed on him.

“Yeah he was [offered]. Lots of people will say no after the very fact, however he was,” Pompey mentioned. “The Sixers simply all the time knew they had been going to get James Harden. Everybody in that constructing needed Harden.”

On the time, Haliburton was on the Sacramento Kings. Coincidentally, the Kings traded Haliburton to the Pacers round the very same time the Sixers traded Simmons for Harden.

After all, hindsight is 20/20. Harden didn’t work out in the best way the Sixers hoped. Even when he did not get them the place they hoped and solely lasted in Philadelphia for a season and a half, no less than he’s not on a contract that might limit the Sixers’ cap flexibility like Simmons’ would have been.

Nevertheless, Haliburton has skilled extra success with the Pacers this season alone than the Sixers have in any 12 months they’ve had Joel Embiid. Realizing what these two might have been collectively as a duo makes one marvel if the Sixers might have lastly gotten over the hump — or no less than superior additional than the Japanese Convention Semifinals.

 — 

The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the Worldwide Prison Court docket to hunt arrest warrants for prime Israeli officers and Hamas leaders, saying the court docket’s efforts put the terrorist group and a prime US ally on equal footing.

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan instructed CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an unique interview on Monday that the worldwide tribunal is searching for arrest warrants for officers together with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar on fees of conflict crimes and crimes towards humanity for his or her respective roles within the October 7 assault on Israel and the following conflict that has left tens of 1000’s of Palestinians lifeless.

The prosecution group can also be searching for warrants for Israel’s protection minister, Yoav Gallant, together with prime Hamas leaders, Khan mentioned.

In an announcement Monday, Biden known as the ICC’s efforts “outrageous.”

“Let me be clear,” the president mentioned within the assertion, “no matter this prosecutor may indicate, there isn’t any equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas.”

Talking at a White Home reception marking Jewish American Heritage Month later Monday, Biden reiterated his stance that the ICC’s pursuit of an arrest warrant is with out benefit.

“It’s clear Israel needs to do all it will probably to make sure civilian safety,” Biden mentioned. “Let me be clear: What’s occurring just isn’t genocide.”

Khan’s pursuit of the warrants gave Biden – a longtime supporter of Israel and its proper to exist – an opportunity to talk strongly in favor of the US’ prime Center Japanese ally at a time of tense relations between the president and Israeli management. In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett earlier this month, Biden put situations on US assist to Israel for the primary time over Israel’s deliberate invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza. Biden has additionally had a number of frank cellphone calls with the Israeli prime minister in current months as he tries to persuade Netanyahu into pursuing choices that don’t contain a navy operation in a inhabitants middle.

The announcement marks the primary time that the ICC has sought an arrest warrant for the chief of a prime US ally, and locations Netanyahu within the firm of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the late Libyan despot Moammar Gadhafi – each of whom had been topics of arrest efforts by the ICC.

Khan, the ICC prosecutor, batted down criticisms over the tribunal’s efforts to safe the warrants. “No one is above the legislation,” he instructed Amanpour.

Neither the US nor Israel are members of the ICC. But when the court docket had been to grant an arrest warrant for Netanyahu or Gallant, the choice would make it extraordinarily troublesome for both Israeli chief to journey to any of the 124 international locations which might be social gathering to the court docket’s legal guidelines, together with prime US allies akin to Britain and Germany, which might compel member nations to cooperate with efforts to extradite these subjected to the warrants.

Information that the ICC is searching for warrants for the Israeli leaders led to condemnation from the US and a few of its allies. Britain mentioned the court docket’s efforts had been “not useful” in reaching a pause in combating. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned the USA “basically rejects” the court docket’s announcement, saying it “may jeopardize” efforts to achieve a ceasefire and hostage launch deal between the combatants.

Biden administration officers additionally questioned whether or not the ICC had the jurisdiction to hunt these arrests.

Home Speaker Mike Johnson, describing the ICC’s efforts as “baseless and illegitimate,” mentioned Home GOP leaders would have a look at sanctions in response to the court docket’s determination. Nationwide Safety Council spokesperson John Kirby mentioned the Biden administration plans to remain in shut contact with members of Congress however stopped in need of committing help for any Republican effort to levy new sanctions on the ICC.

Unbiased Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont — who caucuses with Democrats at the same time as his place on Israel is regularly at odds with Biden’s — mentioned he supported the ICC’s determination. Sanders is among the nation’s most distinguished Jewish politicians and has been vital of Israel’s conflict effort.

“The ICC prosecutor is correct to take these actions,” Sanders mentioned in an announcement, including it’s “crucial that the worldwide group uphold worldwide legislation.”

Regardless of sturdy condemnation of the ICC efforts from Biden and Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer, a number of senior Senate Democrats pointedly refused to take a place, underscoring the rising rift throughout the social gathering over Israel’s dealing with of the conflict.

Requested if she agreed with the ICC determination, Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan instructed CNN’s Manu Raju: “I might say that I’m not supportive of Netanyahu or Hamas, and I feel we’d be capable to transfer ahead quite a bit higher if each had been to go.”

However others aligned themselves with Biden.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, who faces a tricky reelection in Ohio, criticized the ICC prosecutor. “I don’t see any ethical equivalence between the democratic authorities of Israel and a terrorist group like Hamas, none,” he instructed CNN.

The condemnation of the ICC’s efforts places the USA in a fragile place. The USA is supporting a separate effort by the ICC to doc and examine Russian conflict crimes associated to its continued operations in Ukraine.

Kirby mentioned the US would proceed to help these efforts.

“I might remind everyone that it’s an precise conflict purpose of Mr. Putin to kill harmless Ukrainian individuals,” Kirby instructed reporters Monday. “I imply, he’s intentionally concentrating on civilian infrastructure with the purpose of killing harmless civilians.

“That isn’t what the IDF is doing,” Kirby added.

Nonetheless, Kirby acknowledged, the USA continues to induce the Israeli authorities to be “extra discriminative, extra focused, [and] extra exact” in its Gaza operations.

Once I say The Substance, the Demi Moore-starring film that rocked Cannes, is bloody that’s an understatement. Take the quantity of blood you assume might be on this film and double it. No, triple it. At one level through the runtime you’ll assume you might have seen the bloodiest half, however simply you wait. It will get bloodier.

And but the blood isn’t even the a part of this splendidly batshit physique horror spectacular that had me nearly throwing up. It’s a symphony of lurching flesh which may have you ever each gagging and cheering. The viewers at my press screening of Cannes definitely did. We whooped, we gasped, and we clapped. It’s the grossest factor you will notice all yr.

Directed by Coralie Fargeat, of the additionally bloody Revenge, the movie is at its core fairly easy. Moore, who’s locked into her position, is Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading star with a exercise empire referred to as Sparkle Your Life, the place she sways her booty like Jane Fonda again within the day. However she can also be depressing. Hollywood—or the pretend model of Hollywood with ’80s prospers that Fargeat has created—is casting her out. An govt not inconsequentially named Harvey, and performed with disgusting gusto by Dennis Quaid, desires to exchange her. (An early nasty second entails Quaid consuming shrimp with a detailed up on his mouth.)

After getting in a automotive accident when absentmindedly a billboard of herself being torn down, a nurse who seems to be like he has been run by an Instagram filter slips her a flash drive introducing her to “The Substance” with a observe that claims “it modified my life.” She watched the promo, which guarantees a brand new, youthful, and higher you by unlocking your DNA. In fact, there are warnings: You should keep in mind that regardless of the 2 our bodies you’re nonetheless one individual. You should stabilize your self utilizing spinal fluid every single day. And you will need to change each seven days.

Determined, she offers it a go, retrieving her package from a locker in a blindingly white room from a dingy deal with. As soon as injecting herself, out of her again emerges her different self performed by Margaret Qualley, who’s taut the place Elisabeth sags. (Although in fact Moore seems to be wonderful, it ought to be famous.) This new Elisabeth sews up the again of her creator—Fargeat makes positive you hear the sound of needle hitting pores and skin in addition to see it. Then, calling herself Sue, the opposite self heads out to a casting name the place she is straight away chosen as Elisabeth’s substitute. Naturally, the love and recognition implies that Sue begins to abuse the foundations of The Substance, forcing Elisabeth to deteriorate within the course of. First, it’s one among her fingers that withers into that of a lady in her nineties. Then it’s so way more.

The 2 halves of a complete begin to bicker and rail in opposition to each other, however are continuously reminded by the disembodied voice on the opposite finish of the telephone quantity for The Substance that they’re certainly the identical individual. They’ll solely blame themselves for any indiscretion. As a result of in the end, The Substance is a few girl who hates herself when she isn’t being cherished and can do something to attain the popularity for her magnificence she craves.

The messaging might be apparent at instances all through the film, and is hammered residence by the truth that all of it appears to exist in an alternate, one dimensional universe the place superstar is outlined by “the morning present” and nobody questions when a lady exhibits up out of nowhere with the one identify Sue. And but the horror is so artistic and excessive, you don’t thoughts the dearth of world constructing. Equally, whereas the script doesn’t care a lot about Elisabeth’s backstory, you’ll be able to see the frustration in Moore’s face, as she grapples together with her insecurity. The most effective moments in your entire movie has no icky ooze, however is simply of Moore preparing for date, continuously altering her make-up till she finally ends up standing up a highschool classmate nonetheless in awe of her.

Nonetheless, yeah, it’s the gore that makes The Substance price seeing whether or not you find yourself loving or hating it. The visible results and prosthetics work is astounding in its gruesomeness. A beat when Qualley feels one thing in her butt after which in the end pulls a hen leg from her stomach button, for example, is actually sickening.

Fargeat has made a film about magnificence that’s completely ugly in its perversions of the human physique. I believe some will argue that it punishes Elisabeth for her self-importance in a manner that’s unfair, however there’s additionally a liberation within the disgusting contortions. Come ready although. You may want a barf bag.

Demi Moore stated performing in Coralie Fargeat’s physique horror shocker The Substance required accepting a “stage of vulnerability and rawness” with regard to her personal physique on display.

Moore put all of it on the market for the movie, a gory, campy satire on magnificence requirements, poisonous masculinity and feminine self-hatred, with the film’s frequent and outstanding nudity, in addition to its grotesque violence, attracting quite a lot of consideration after its world premiere in Cannes. Moore performs Elisabeth Sparkle, an acclaimed actress turned superstar host of a daytime train program who will get changed by a youthful, extra stunning star (Margaret Qualley), sparking a confrontation between the 2 ladies. One of many extra graphic scenes within the film exhibits Moore and Qualley having a unadorned, no-holds-barred bloody struggle. The Cannes viewers liked it, giving the movie a rapturous reception Sunday night time.

“I had somebody who was an ideal associate,” stated Moore of Qualley. “We had been clearly fairly shut at some moments…and bare. However there was additionally a levity [in shooting those scenes].”

Talking on the press convention for The Substance, Moore stated the movie “pushed me out of the consolation zone” however that she was clear moving into that the express imagery “was obligatory to inform this story” and that Fargeat approached the scenes “with quite a lot of sensitivity” establishing a “frequent floor of mutual belief.”

Whereas many drew comparisons between the movie’s storyline and Moore’s personal expertise as an older actress in youth-obsessed Hollywood, the Ghost and G.I. Jane star stated she by no means noticed herself “because the sufferer” and that The Substance is extra about skewering “the male perspective of the best lady.”

Fargeat famous that the violence within the movie was a metaphor for the violence, emotional and bodily, that males inflict on ladies, and that girls inflict on themselves, of their pursuit of unrealistic beliefs of magnificence.

“I don’t know any lady that doesn’t have an consuming dysfunction or another factor that they do this does violence to their our bodies,” stated Fargeat, saying she selected to point out the violence on display “in an excessive manner as a result of I believe this violence could be very excessive.”

The male characters in The Substance don’t come off nicely, with every proven as a special variant of poisonous masculinity. However the filmmakers stated they weren’t trying to condemn a whole gender. “We’re not anti-men, we’re anti-jerks,” stated Moore.

“Individuals say [Fargeat] hates males,” added Dennis Quaid, who performs Harvey, a sleazy TV producer within the movie. “No, she hates assholes. However assholes are so enjoyable to play.”

Quaid additionally singled out Moore for reward, calling her efficiency “the start of an unimaginable third act” in her profession. He additionally devoted his position to the late Ray Liotta, the actor who was initially solid to play Harvey. “It was this week, two years in the past that he handed,” stated Quaid. “He was such an unimaginable actor. I dedicate it [this role] to him.”

The Substance was produced by Working Title and initially set to be distributed by Common. As a substitute, it’ll get a U.S. launch by way of Mubi, marking the most important theatrical launch ever for the artwork home streamer.

Within the movie, directed by the Iranian Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi, Cohn is depicted as a longtime mentor to Trump, teaching him within the ruthlessness of New York Metropolis politics and enterprise. Early on, Cohn aided the Trump Group when it was being sued by the federal authorities for racial discrimination in housing.

“The Apprentice,” which is labeled as impressed by true occasions, portrays Trump’s dealings with Cohn as a Faustian discount that guided his rise as a businessman and, later, as a politician. Stan’s Trump is initially a extra naive actual property striver, quickly remodeled by Cohn’s schooling.

The movie notably comprises a scene depicting Trump raping his spouse, Ivana Trump (performed by Maria Bakalova). In Ivana Trump’s 1990 divorce deposition, she acknowledged that Trump raped her. Trump denied the allegation and Ivana Trump later mentioned she didn’t imply it actually, however slightly that she had felt violated.

That scene and others make “The Apprentice” a probably explosive big-screen drama within the midst of the U.S. presidential election. The movie is on the market in Cannes, so it doesn’t but have a launch date.

After the premiere, Abbasi addressed the Cannes viewers, saying “there is no such thing as a good metaphorical solution to take care of the rising wave of fascism.”

“The nice folks have been quiet for too lengthy,” he mentioned. “So I believe it’s time to make films related. It’s time to make films political once more.”

Itemizing wars in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan, Abbasi, whose earlier movie “Holy Spider” depicted a serial killer murdering ladies in Iran, warned of bother forward.

“Within the time of turmoil, there’s this tendency to look inwards, to bury your head deep within the sand, look inside and hope for the most effective — hope for the most effective, hope for the storm to get away,” Abbasi mentioned. “However the storm is just not going to get away. The storm is coming. The worst occasions are coming.”

The movie’s premiere unfolded whereas Trump’s hush cash trial continued in New York.
