Being seen in two movies at one time is nothing new for Gerard Depardieu. In 20 years he’s made about 70 films, has won just about every golden lion and zinc zebra on the international film circuit and has been credited with saving the French film industry. Thank goodness he doesn’t need to save the U.S. movie business, because his first American feature, Green Card, directed by Peter Weir (“Dead Poets Society”), is a sweetly innocuous affair that calls upon little more than the cuddly side of this Gallic grizzly....

Time and again, they were cut open by the home side, especially during set pieces. Matt Hummels could have had a hat trick in the first half alone, from three corners! Dan-Axel Zagadou had one of his worst games in a Dortmund shirt, being directly at fault for Bayern’s second and fourth goals and was rightly subbed off at half time. Dortmund were set up to counter on the break, but with Jadon Sancho and JB Larsen having ineffective outings, it meant that Reus was left stranded up front, and Borussia offered little to no goal threat....

This comes just a day after Colin Kaepernick was fined $10,000 for wearing his Beats by Dre headphones before the 49ers’ Week 5 matchup against the Chiefs. Panthers QB Cam Newton is a Beats endorser and even got his teammates Beats by Dre headphones for Christmas last year. Bose is the “official sound” of the NFL, which means Beats are forbidden in situations where they’ll be filmed or photographed. We’ve reached out to Bose to see whether this gifting of headphones extends across the league as teams begin Week 6 play....

Jibreel Ameen, from Pakistan-based game developer Broken Diamond, reeled off a list of excuses and problems associated with the 10 candidates shortlisted for the role, alongside his own thoughts on what went wrong. These thoughts included criticism of one candidate who wished to know the salary attached to the role and another who asked if they could work from home. “You survived in Covid-19,” he wrote in response. “Everything is fine....

The twin blasts that killed three people and injured scores at the Boston marathon are a warning for Russia as it prepares to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, the sports minister said on Tuesday. “For Russia, which will have to soon stage a number of major sporting events, this is a serious warning bell,” RIA Novosti quoted Vitaly Mutko as saying. Besides the 2014 event in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Russia will also host the University Games in Kazan later this year, as well as the 2018 Football World Cup....

Dortmund were beaten 2-1 at home to Werder Bremen – who had not won away in the Bundesliga since April – on Saturday and now stand 13 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. Goals from Maximilian Eggestein and Theodor Gebre Selassie either side of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s equaliser piled further pressure on Bosz, with Dortmund having won just once in their last 13 matches in all competitions, against minnows Magdeburg in the DFB-Pokal....

Teammates were already jumping up and down, ready to mob him at the plate. The fans were in a frenzy, too. Nothing like a game-ending grand slam to get the festivities started. A pinch-hitting Bote smashed one against Ryan Madson with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday night. Bote’s long drive to center field came after dominant starts by Washington’s Max Scherzer and Chicago’s Cole Hamels....

Not many years ago, Botswana, a country well known for its game reserves, was an unknown entity in the world of soccer. Their road to success in international football started three years back in 2008. This year the team was nominated for Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) awards, for team of the year, alongside Cote d’Ivoire. Botswana went on to be crowned African team of the year at the awards ceremony held in Accra, Ghana last week Thursday....

The mumbling woman is something else again. Rose Cheramie, a prostitute and junkie, warned a doctor and a Louisiana state cop about the assassination in Dallas two days before it happened. She claimed she had been abandoned on the road by two men driving from Florida to Dallas who said they were going to shoot the president. She said she worked for a Dallas strip-joint owner named Jack Ruby. Stone doesn’t tell the end of her story....

The Canadian was a Wimbledon finalist six years ago and looked to have the world at her feet, only for results to drastically tail off. She endured a wretched 13-match losing streak last season and began this week’s tournament in New Zealand as the world number 262, having once been as high as fifth. But there is still time for 25-year-old Bouchard to turn around her faltering tennis career, and a 6-4 6-4 victory over French eighth seed Caroline Garcia was an eye-catching result....

Boult tore through the tourists’ lower order in Christchurch with a fine spell of swing bowling that saw Sri Lanka slump from 94-4 to 104 all out. After Roshen Silva had been caught in the slips, Boult removed Niroshan Dickwella, Dilruwan Perera and Suranga Lakmal in the same over. He was unable to complete a hat-trick but the wickets of Dushmantha Chameera and Lahiru Kumara soon followed to leave Boult with figures of 6-30 before the Black Caps finished day two 231-2 in their second innings, 305 ahead....

The Mysterious Artifact is rewarded for completing the Ava’s Murder Mysteries quests and slaying the final boss. This content is exclusive to the Borderlands 3 Director’s Cut DLC, so players will need to purchase it if they want to get their hands on the Mysterious Artifact. Once players have the Mysterious Artifact, they will discover the source of people’s confusion.

First off, the developer confirmed that players will be able to control his mechanical beasts to some degree, stating that their attacks could be directed by the player’s choice. This Borderlands 3 question derives from the similar Borderlands 2 class, Gaige the Mechromancer, where her summonable Deathtrap could not be controlled in the slightest (sometimes resulting in downed players not getting their second wind off). In this regard, Gearbox confirmed FL4K’s beasts are unlike Gaige’s Deathtrap....

Towards the bottom of the latest Borderlands 3 patch notes, Gearbox Software comments on the fact that players can’t currently skip any cutscenes. As fans have noted, this makes the intro sections of the game overly long, about 13 minutes before the player can actually fire a weapon. On paper, this seems like an extremely easy fix to allow players to press a button to skip past them. However, there’s more going on than most fans realize....

One of the many great Gamescom reveals, the DLC 4 gameplay trailer gives players a good bit of information on the upcoming DLC. The main goal is reiterated, with players working their way toward what is no doubt a loot-filled location called Vaulthalla. According to Tannis, finding it could help with Krieg’s fractured mental state on top of providing players with dozens of new weapons.

The Shift code system debuted with 2012’s Borderlands 2 and allowed fans to grab golden keys for a loot chest that awarded purple-level gear with high stats, as well as special seasonal gear from Gearbox’s social media channels. The system returned for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and this year’s Borderlands 3, but still required players to either boot one of the supported games up or use the dedicated Shift website to redeem codes for loot....

While the new trailers are good and all, many are ready to go hands-on with some Borderlands 3 content, another fact that Gearbox appears to be aware of. The developer has officially released some interactive tools that let players go in and check out the skill trees of the new vault hunters. For many, this will be a great way to plan ahead of launch for not only which character to choose but how to spec them....

During the last year, we polled hundreds of people, asking them how quickly they tend to get bored at a new job. On average, it takes six months for people to begin feeling bored. The answers, though, range from two weeks to never, signaling a high level of personal variability when it comes to boredom. Although a precise definition of boredom is a matter of debate, most experts agree that boredom can be defined as an adverse feeling associated with lack of stimulation....

Losing finalists last year, Dortmund made a blistering start with Henrikh Mkhitaryan scoring in the fourth minute and Marco Reus doubling the visitors' lead a minute later. Zenit, which hadn't played a competitive game since Dec. 11 due to the Russian winter break, looked rusty, but pulled one back through Oleg Shatov in the 57th. Lewandowski replied four minutes later, after playing a one-two with Poland teammate Lukasz Piszczek. Then Piszczek conceded a penalty and Hulk scored emphatically from the spot in the 69th....
