Moment tank speeds toward bus on Spider-Man set as filming moves location
The new film, starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker, has generated a serious buzz in the city since filming took over at the start of the month.
Having spent the past week dazzling fans on Bothwell Street, the web-slinging hero has now been spotted on St Vincent Street.
Hundreds of fans gathered all around the busy street, with crowds forming on Buchanan Street and at every vantage point to catch a glimpse of Spidey.

Today, August 10, the next stunt was set up, and a few familiar vehicles could be seen flying up the street at high speed.
The 'tank', which has been heavily featured so far during filming, has been shifted over to the new set, and onlookers gasped as it sped up St Vincent Street with a cloud of reek behind it.
From other viewpoints, you can see that it is travelling towards a double-decker sightseeing bus at full revs.
The actors on top of the bus could be heard screaming as damaged cars lay strewn across the street, and other motorists sped to get out of the way.

Spider-Man appears to be on the case, though, as once again the masked hero was seen on top of the tank, where he'll hopefully triumph over whatever evil he is facing.
We reported that stunts were filmed on Bothwell Street earlier this week, including a high-speed car chase featuring a tank, a car being flipped over, and some huge explosions that rocked Bothwell Street.
One onlooker said that they could "feel the heat" from the explosion and "got a fright" when the flames flew into the air.
We also revealed that a restaurant featured in some of the new Spider-Man scenes has been brought to the market.
The former Wolf Italian Street Food unit on Bothwell Street is being put on the market, having been featured in filming both outside and inside the premises.
Filming is expected to remain on St Vincent Street for the next four days, fans can try and catch Spidey from the top or bottom of the street for the best vantage points.

Greg Gutfeld Says ‘It Took Guts' for Jimmy Fallon to Host Him, Mocks Stephen Colbert – ‘My Uber Driver'
"I went on the show for the same reason I started this show," the "Gutfeld!" host says – "late-night needs more fun" Greg Gutfeld and Co. took a victory lap for the Fox News host's appearance last week on 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,' with the consensus being that not only was it a fun moment – but something late-night culture needs more of. 'I brought fun by the gallon to our pal Jimmy Fallon,' the 'Gutfeld!' [and self-proclaimed king of late night] said on Friday night's monologue. 'It went so well all the way home I could not stop talking about it with my Uber driver [displaying a picture of 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert.] More from TheWrap Greg Gutfeld Says 'It Took Guts' for Jimmy Fallon to Host Him, Mocks Stephen Colbert – 'My Uber Driver' | Video Bernie Sanders Says Influence of 'Very Wealthy People' Caused Kamala Harris' Defeat in 2024: 'Broken and Corrupt' | Video 'One Piece' Scores Early Season 3 Renewal at Netflix, Ian Stokes Joins Joe Tracz as Co-Showrunner Diddy Lawyer Thinks Rapper Could Align With Trump If Pardoned: 'It Would Not Surprise Me' | Video The canceled-by-May CBS host, criticized after his exit was announced for never having conservative guests, continued to get roasted as Gutfeld boasted. 'But it was nothing like the critics predicted,' Gutfeld said. 'They expected me and Mr. Evil Fox News to attack Jimmy Fallon and they were mad when I did not. But I went on the show for the same reason I started the show. Late-night needs more fun. I was a gracious guest to a nice guy and he expected me to tear into Jimmy? You were as clueless and boring as the Stephen Colbert interviewing Kamala Harris.' Gutfeld applauded Fallon for the invite – and suggested that had Colbert done the same, he, too, might be enjoying a contract extension instead of a pink slip. 'It took guts for Jimmy Fallon to have me on the show, not only because he risked criticism from the left,' Gutfeld said. 'I'm talking about this coincidence. His contract's just been renewed by NBC through 2028. You see that, Colbert? You should have had me on! And there is still time … I will even bring the tissues.' 'Gutfeld!' panelist Tom Shillue gushed about the appearance for being about anything but politics. 'To me, this was great to see and it reminded me that I think you and Fallon have a similar energy and that the model for the late-night host was always kind of detached and, you know, kind of sarcastic and above it all,' Shillue said. 'But both you and Jimmy enjoy yourselves when you're doing the show. Like you have a good time, you were always laughing at your guests, he is always enjoying his guests, so I thought it went great and I was just overjoyed to see it.' Panelist C.J. Pearson noted that it seems like conservatives are 'winning the battle': 'You going on Tonight Show, Sydney Sweeney being on the face of major fashion campaigns and not standing away from it but doubling down. … The more we do that, young people will come to our side and we will keep on winning.' Watch the entire exchange in the video above. The post Greg Gutfeld Says 'It Took Guts' for Jimmy Fallon to Host Him, Mocks Stephen Colbert – 'My Uber Driver' | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

You can find them here: Forbes NYT 'Connections' Hints And Answers For August 9 By Paul Tassi Looking for a little help with your Sunday Connections puzzle? The New York Times has given us a pretty tricky one today, so if you're looking for extra clues – or the answers – you've come to the right place. Below you'll find an extra set of clues, the categories for each group and, finally, the solution to today's puzzle. It's another lovely weekend in August, though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't itching for some cooler weather at this point. It's been hot with nary a cloud in the sky, and all I'm asking for is a little rain. Or a lot of rain. Moisture of any kind would be lovely. Then again, in a few months when snow is piled high and it's too cold to go outside, I'll be pining for summer sun. We always want what we can't have. Be sure to check out my streaming guide if you're looking for some new shows or movies to check out this weekend. There's a lot of good stuff out at the beginning of the month. Forbes What To Watch This Weekend: New Shows And Movies To Stream On Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV And More By Erik Kain In any case, we have a Connections to solve, so let's group some words! Connections is the second-most popular NYT Games puzzle game outside of the main crossword itself, and an extremely fun, free offering that will get your brain moving every day. Play it right here. The goal is to take a group of 16 words and find links between four pairs of four of them. They could be specific categories of terms, or they could be little world puzzles where words may come before or after them you need to figure out. And they get more complicated from there. There is only one set of right answers for this, and you only get a certain number of tries so you can't just spam around until you find something. There are difficulty tiers coded by color, which will usually go from yellow, blue/green to purple as difficulty increases, so know that going in and when you start linking them together. You pick the four words you think are linked and either you will get a solve and a lit up row that shows you how you were connected. If you're close, it will tell you that you're one away. Again, four mistakes you lose, but if you want to know the answers without failing, either come here, or delete your web cookies and try again. If you want to play more puzzles, you can get an NYT Games subscription to access the full archives of all past puzzles. These are the hints that are laid out on the puzzle board itself, but after that, we will get into spoiler territory with some hints and eventually the answers. First, here are today's Connections words: BIOPIC CALCIUM CHEMISE CLUSTER COLLECT CONCENTRATE FAN GROUP HISTORICAL JUICE PULP PULL SCIENCE SWAY TRIGLYCERIDE WEIGHT 🟡Yellow group – If you are a person of status in a group, you have this with others. If you are a person of status in a group, you have this with others. 🔵Blue group – Different genres novels might fall under. Different genres novels might fall under. 🟢Green group – What you're trying to do with the words in this puzzle. What you're trying to do with the words in this puzzle. 🟣Purple group – The beginning of these words are the beginnings of other words related to education. Alright, the full spoilers follow here as we get into what the groups are today: 🟡Yellow group – Influence Influence 🔵Blue group – Kinds of fiction Kinds of fiction 🟢Green group – Amass Amass 🟣Purple group – Starting with math and science classes, for short The full-on answers are below for each group, finally inserting the four words in each category. Spoilers follow if you do not want to get this far. The Connections answers are: 🟡Yellow group – Juice, Pull, Sway, Weight Juice, Pull, Sway, Weight 🔵Blue group – Fan, Historical, Pulp, Science Fan, Historical, Pulp, Science 🟢Green group – Cluster, Collect, Concentrate, Science Cluster, Collect, Concentrate, Science 🟣Purple group – BIOpic, CALCium, CHEMise, TRIGlyceride Today's Connections Screenshot: Erik Kain This was definitely a trickier NYT Connections than I've seen the past few Sundays. I started off with my own area of expertise: Fiction. As soon as I saw PULP and HISTORICAL I was pretty sure we were talking about pulp fiction and historical fiction, and it was just a matter of looking for a couple more words that fit. FAN fiction and SCIENCE fiction did the trick. Blue group was done in a jiffy. From here, I was less certain. CONCENTRATE and JUICE seemed to go together. And you get CALCIUM from orange juice. I also thought some of the words might fit with measurements, like WEIGHT and GROUP. Eventually, I gathered the green words together: CLUSTER, COLLECT, CONCENTRATE and GROUP are all words about focusing or amassing a quantity. Green group done. The last two were confusing, mostly because I really wasn't sure how something like CHEMISE fit into the picture. That's a type of nightwear or lingerie. I thought it might be medical stuff – CALCIUM and WEIGHT and so forth, but that still didn't fit. Finally, I realized that JUICE, PULL, SWAY and WEIGHT all could mean types of influence you hold or carry. I have juice with the dock workers, and pull with the wise guys down at the bar and hold sway over the shop owners, and my word carries weight with the politicians. That sort of thing. That only left purple. These were, as always, the trickiest of the bunch because they literally have nothing to do with one another. A BIOPIC is a movie about someone's life. TRIGLYCERIDEs are a type of fat, or lipid, found in the blood. But each one has the same first few letters as an abbreviated math or science class: BIOlogy, CALCulus, CHEMistry, TRIGonometry. You refer to these classes as bio, calc, chem and trig for short. All told, a reasonably challenging puzzle! How did you do?

Jeff Buckley's Ex on the 'Heartbreaking' Pressure the Rock Icon Was Under Before His Death at 30 (Exclusive)
The singer, who died of drowning in 1997, struggled under the weight of fame and expectations, those close to him tell PEOPLENEED TO KNOW Before he died in 1997 at the age of 30, Jeff Buckley released the hit 1994 album, Grace Friends and his former partner tell PEOPLE the singer felt immense pressure after his debut and struggled with fame "It was just heartbreaking because it was overwhelming for him," his former girlfriend, Rebecca Moore, says of the demands placed upon himJeff Buckley began his musical career carrying a burden: the legacy of a father he never knew. "He didn't want to be known as Tim Buckley's son," says director Amy Berg, whose new documentary on the "Hallelujah" singer, It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley is out now. Tim Buckley, an experimental folk singer with a cult following, left before his son was born and died in 1975 when Jeff was 8. "That ghost haunted him," Berg says. When Buckley signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Columbia Records, the expectations were even greater. "It was a ton of pressure," his former girlfriend, Rebecca Moore, says. "For every artist, a big record contract's going to be pressure. But this for him had the added weight of legacy of his dad, and he was under pressure to do something unique." At Columbia, "there were a lot of eyes on him," adds Buckley's former tour manager Gene Bowen, who says that label execs looked at him as an artist in the vein of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. His 1994 debut, Grace, was a critical success, lauded by the likes of David Bowie and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, who declared it one of his favorite albums of the decade, Buckley was in the spotlight and on a relentless touring schedule for the years that followed. And then, expectation began to build for a second album. "It was just heartbreaking because it was overwhelming for him," Moore says of the demands placed upon him. "He once said to me, 'Rebecca, I can't even shower in the morning.' I think all he could focus on was keeping himself upright and getting to the meetings and seeing through the obligations." Working 16-hour days playing shows and doing press, "there was burnout," says Bowen. But "the label wanted pounds of flesh and they were like, 'We want to get this record done.' " Buckley's mom, Mary Guibert, recalls Jeff once telling her, "They want to make me a commodity. They want me to make another Grace." But, she adds, "He wanted to shock people. He wanted to create something that was edgy. He wanted to be a Morrissey. He didn't want to be Michael Bolton." By 1997, still struggling to produce a second album, Buckley moved to Memphis, Tenn., to write in solitude. "He wanted some stability," Berg says. "And that's what Memphis represented for him at the time. I think he just wanted some peace in his life." Buckley began to get traction on a new album that spring, and that May he invited his band down to record. "He was extremely excited to get this thing done, to be back with the bandmates," Bowen says. "Everything was laid out, I had all the gear down there and we had this cool old warehouse that we were going to use." But on the evening of May 29, on his way to meet his bandmates, he stopped at the bank of a tributary adjacent to the Mississippi and, singing along as Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" played on a nearby stereo, waded into the water. A wake from a passing riverboat pulled him under. His body was found six days later and an autopsy ruled his death an accident. The recordings he left behind were released in 1998 as a second album, Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. But his mother says Buckley's legacy was far greater than his music. "In my eulogy, I gave what I called 'The Golden Promise', because the absence of this one individual is such a gaping hole in our collective souls that it would take each and every one of us make a promise to do something to make the world a better place because he's not here," Guibert says. Take PEOPLE with you! to get the latest details on celebrity news, exclusive royal updates, how-it-happened true crime stories and more — right to your mailbox. Bowen took that to heart, and with Guibert's support, he co-founded Road Recovery Foundation, which pairs music industry mentors with young people struggling with addiction and other issues to help them heal through art and performance. It was a cause, says Bowen, a former addict himself, that Jeff encouraged him to pursue. "He understood what it's like to be lost, to not fit into the equation, to be the outcast," says Bowen, who adds that the program has helped more than 50,000 young people in the 27 years it's been in operation. "And anyway he could elevate someone else, he wanted to help. Especially young people, he loved that." Read the original article on People
