Jury deliberations to resume in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial
NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan jury will resume deliberations Friday in Harvey Weinstein 's sex crimes retrial after ending its first day without reaching a verdict in a case that encapsulated the #MeToo movement. The panel, which was handed the case Thursday morning, has requested to hear a readback of some testimony from two of Weinstein's accusers, as well as to see medical records from one of those women. The jury of seven women and five men is considering two counts of criminal sex act and one count of rape against the 73-year-old Oscar-winning movie producer, with the criminal sex act charges the higher-degree felonies. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty. Sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein propelled the #MeToo movement in 2017. Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. He was eventually convicted of sex crimes in New York and California, but the New York conviction was overturned last year, leading to the retrial before a new jury and a different judge. Jurors heard more than five weeks of testimony, including lengthy testimony from three accusers.

Evan Engram embraces Sean Payton's ‘Joker' role but says it's something he has to earn in Denver
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Don't call Evan Engram the 'Joker' just yet. The ninth-year tight end has embraced coach Sean Payton's vision of him as a versatile player who can create mismatches for Denver's offense, led by second-year QB Bo Nix. When he signed a two-year, $23 million deal in the spring, Engram took to X and posted a GIF of the late Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning performance as the Joker in 'The Dark Knight.' On Thursday, however, Engram said he still needs to earn the moniker. 'That is a cool thing to just embrace,' Engram said. 'Sean talks about it a lot. It was a big part of the pitch coming here. The fans are great here, so (the social media post) was just embracing that narrative a little bit. I definitely see that it is something that has to be earned with the way I work and the way that I learn the offense to gain the trust of Sean, Bo and the rest of the coaches and players. 'I think we have a bunch of Jokers on this team, honestly, that can have a great role on this offense. It is definitely something that I like to embrace, but it is also something that I am going to earn, too.' Actually, Engram is probably the only member of the Broncos offense who fits Payton's description of the Joker. Last year, Payton described the Joker as 'either a running back or tight end with exceptional ball skills and then you can work matchups. We've had that at the running back (position). Reggie Bush was the Joker, Darren Sproles and Alvin Kamara. Those were all unique players, not just in the running game, but they had passing game skill sets that allowed you to do multiple things.' Payton was hoping tight end Greg Dulcich would turn into his Joker last season, but his propensity to drop passes squelched that notion and led to his release. So, Payton entered free agency this year intent on landing the traditional hallmark of his offense, and he did so when Engram signed with the Broncos after three seasons in Jacksonville and five with the New York Giants. Before Engram agreed to Denver's offer, Payton and the rest of the Broncos' brain trust had to sweat through Engram's subsequent visit with the AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers. 'Free agency is a crazy roller coaster,' said Engram, who was the 23rd overall pick by the Giants in 2017. 'I took a visit to LA. It's a great organization there, as well. I had a great visit with them, but the best place for me and my family was here in Denver. Just with the offense, the history here, the way the organization takes care of its players.' On Thursday, the final day of organized team activities open to the media, Engram ran routes with receivers, not tight ends, and he stood out for his fluidity and his jersey number. Asked why he chose No. 1, Engram said it was his number in high school. At Mississippi he wore No. 17, a number he revived with the Jaguars. So when the Broncos sent him a list of available numbers after he signed, he relayed the list to his family members, who all concurred he should wear No. 1 again. 'It's a cool thing just to reconnect to the glory days of high school football,' Engram said. Dobbins to Denver? The Broncos could be adding a veteran running back to their roster. Free agent J.K. Dobbins plans to visit Denver a week ahead of the team's mandatory minincamp. 'We'll have a chance to visit with him and then we'll see where it goes,' Payton said. 'We really like the group right now that we're working with. It's just another opportunity to possibly bring in another good football player to help us win.' Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. The Broncos drafted R.J. Harvey out of Central Florida in the second round of the NFL draft in April. He is viewed as a potential three-down back and leads a relatively young group of rushers that includes second-year pros Blake Watson and Audric Estime, third-year player Jaleel McLaughlin and fourth-year pro Tyler Badie. Dobbins gained a career-best 905 yards on 195 carries and tied his career high with nine rushing touchdowns last year with the Chargers despite missing four games with a sprained knee. If he signs, Dobbins could become a big contributor in the Broncos' backfield. The former second-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens has an extensive injury history, including an ACL tear in 2021 and a torn Achilles tendon in 2023. ___ AP NFL:

For Wes Anderson, family is at the heart of every film
Q with Tom Power Julianna Romanyk 'Somehow the people you know best keep sneaking into it,' says Anderson Wes Anderson never intended to write his friends and family into his movies — but it keeps on happening anyways. Max Fischer, the jack-of-all-trades failing student in Rushmore, was a combination of himself and his frequent collaborator Owen Wilson. Now, his new film The Phoenician Scheme is about Zsa-Zsa Korda, a tycoon who is heavily inspired by Anderson's father-in-law. The movie follows Korda as he undertakes a massive construction project, and trains his daughter Liesl to take over his international business. WATCH | Wes Anderson's full interview with Tom Power: "When you write a movie, it becomes more personal as it goes along," Anderson tells Q 's Tom Power in an interview. "It begins with research, and you think you're going to tell a story that's about historical figures.… But somehow the people you know best keep sneaking into it. "And that's what happened with my father-in-law, Fouad, who died two years ago. He was an engineer and a businessman. And he had all these different projects, mostly in the Middle East. And there are aspects of his life that found their way into the movie, in particular his organization of his projects into shoe boxes. But also his aura, and his manner. He was a gentle person, very wise… but he also was spectacularly intimidating." From Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums to Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moonrise Kingdom, Anderson's coming-of-age stories have become a hallmark of his unmistakable style. For him, adolescence and early adulthood feel more pure and vivid than other stages of life. "There's an urgency in the way somebody younger communicates, and how they pursue the things that they want that gets diluted in time," says Anderson. "And maybe that's part of what kind of appeals to me about a character like [Liesl]." The other theme in common among Anderson's movies is familial relationships. He says it's not intentional: it just naturally comes up when he's creating casts of characters. "Maybe most stories have something to do with a family dynamic," Anderson says. "Even if it's a metaphorical version of a family dynamic, you still can trace it back to the childhood home a bit. One movie after another, I've had scripts that have to do with families. I mean, it's not like I made a choice." With so many big movies under his belt, Anderson definitely knows how to run a film set. Mia Threapleton, who plays Liesl in The Phoenician Scheme, described the experience as being like "the best summer camp ever." Anderson recognizes that it's essential to make sure the actors have fun. WATCH | Official trailer for The Phoenician Scheme: "They are the ones who you're glued to during the movie, so I am conscious of, 'We've gotta look after these people,'" Anderson explains. "I feel like if we're not having fun doing it, it's not actually gonna turn out that well.… It's hard to make a movie. Especially — we tend to be doing something that's kind of bigger than we even have the means to do. And so I look for ways to make it efficient and fun at the same time.… Things to make it fun to play." When aspiring and established directors inevitably ask Wes Anderson for his wisdom, he quotes the best advice he got from the filmmakers who came before him. He shares a line that was passed down to him by Paper Moon director Peter Bogdanovich, who got it from the director of the original The Little Shop of Horrors movie, Roger Corman. "One shot at a time," says Anderson. "Don't try to understand the whole movie at once. Do the preparation, but when it comes time to make the movie, focus on the one thing you're doing." Wes Anderson also offers a piece of advice based on his own experiences. Over the years, he's seen the difference between going back to the editing room with all the footage he needs, versus trying to put something together with a shot that didn't go the way he wanted. He says it's made him obsessive about what he shoots on set. "The other thing I would say is, 'Remember that you probably aren't going to have a chance to do it again'," Anderson says. "This is your chance." The full interview with Wes Anderson is
