Everything you need to know about Kevin Spacey’s new film ‘Billionaire Boys Club’
Patrick Ryan USA TODAY Published 9:51 p.m. UTC Aug 19, 2018 Kevin Spacey's new movie hit theaters this weekend. So why didn't you heard anything about it? The two-time Oscar winner has essentially been excommunicated from Hollywood after more than a dozen men and teen boys came forward last fall with accusations of sexual harassment and assault, including "Star Trek: Discovery" actor Anthony Rapp, who says Spacey made sexual advances on him when he was just 14. Since then, Spacey has been fired from his hit Netflix series "House of Cards," which will end with a sixth and final season starring Robin Wright this fall. He also was wiped entirely from "All the Money in the World" after director Ridley Scott made the bold decision to recast him with Christopher Plummer and reshoot scenes just seven weeks before the film's release in December.

Pick of picture houses for film buffs
TODAY'S movie buffs have to travel to Birstall if they want to see the latest releases, but 50 years ago Spen folk could take their pick from four picture houses right on their own doorstep. Cleckheaton had the Savoy Cinema which stopped showing films in 1972, and the Picture Palace which closed after a fire in 1960. In Heckmondwike there was the Palace in Croft Street which became a bingo hall in the mid 1960s and the Pavilion in High Street which closed in 1962. This photograph of the Pavilion (taken from Norman Ellis's Images of England, Spen Valley) shows it in all its glory just a few years after it opened in 1914. It as a popular venue and even possessed a grand pipe organ. Many people would go to the cinema once or twice a week and Saturday matinees were particularly popular with children. Among those who have fond memories of the Pavilion is George Lyons of Albion Court, Heckmondwike, who has kindly loaned us this Pavilion programme dating back to the mid 1950s. He said: "When … [Read more...] about Pick of picture houses for film buffs
Irish Guardsman who snapped selfie with Prince William could get the boot after being filmed singing vile ‘hang the Pope’ songs
AN Irish Guards soldier who took a selfie with Prince William has been filmed singing songs about hanging the Pope. Last night the Army launched an investigation after being handed the footage by The Sun. In the video, viewed more than 40,000 times on Twitter, the unnamed soldier leads fellow boozed-up squaddies in a singalong mocking Irish hunger strikers. In one verse he bellows: “And all we need’s a 10ft rope, so we can hang the f***ing Pope.” His off-duty comrades also repeatedly chant: “Hallelujah.” The footage, filmed at Cavalry Barracks in Hounslow, West London, was posted on social media earlier this year. The soldier had the honour of sitting next to William at the Irish Guards’ St Patrick’s Day celebrations in 2016 — and even snapped a selfie with him.
