‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ director wants you to care about the angry beasts

“Godzilla vs. Kong” — in theaters and HBO Max on Wednesday — Wingard was determined to treat the two titular creatures not as hulking, unfeeling beasts, but as “fully fleshed-out” characters. At least as much as was allowed. Godzilla was a bigger challenge than Kong, because Toho, the Japanese company that owns the kaiju (strange beast), has strict rules about what can and can’t be done with him. “There’s literally a guy at Toho, I think his actual title is Chief Godzilla Officer, whose whole job is to keep up with what Godzilla should do,” Wingard said.

Ed Sheeran Gets Emotional Debuting New ‘Visiting Hours’ Song at Memorial for Michael Gudinski

Chris Willman Music WriterA good number of music stars took the death of music impresario Michael Gudinski personally, but few more so than Ed Sheeran, who flew to Gudinski’s native Australia after learning of his passing and quarantined there long enough to be able to perform at a nationally televised state memorial tribute Wednesday.More than that, Sheeran wrote a new life-and-death-themed ballad for the occasion, “Visiting Hours,” which he debuted on the widely seen telecast, and had just the slightest hint of having trouble getting through it before walking away, dabbing his eyes, at the end.The mood was not entirely funereal.
