Sir Patrick Stewart says playing Jean-Luc Picard gave him an idea of how he might become a better person.
Feature: Remembering Patrick Stewart
Today on FilmWeek, we revisit Larry Mantle’s 2023 conversation with Patrick Stewart in memory of the late actor who died at the age of 86 this week.
FilmWeek: ‘The Mosquito Bowl,’ ‘Everest: The Other Side,’ ‘Gentle Monster’ and more!
A group of around 15 male-presenting people stand, cheering, in a dusty field in front of a pile of green, metal crates and a green, metal barrel labeled "Gasoline." The members of the group are dusty and sweaty, and all are wearing variations on an army green uniform with either a green or white t-shirt. One male-presenting person stands, yelling, near the center of the image while holding a football. Another person hugs him from the side. There is a small cloud of dust rising from the ground beneath them, and a forest can be seen in the distance.

Nothing special to report there.But NBC just changed the Megan Mullally Show from 4pm to noon. Is the Megan...

  • Thank god that people vandalize things
    I wake up to a dry, gray, concrete wasteland every day. It's an industrial wave of man-made landscape, TOTALLY artificial, and ALL built for utility... artistic appeal took a back seat. Some say beauty didn't even ride in the backseat, but got left behind completely. So sad.LAist wants to thank the birdie graffiti person who is decorating south Redondo Beaches walls, newspaper stands, bus stops, and electrical transformers. You're clearly not the most talented...
  • Decades-old Surf Festival this weekend
    What's up moon doggies?! It's time again for the International Surf Festival 2006.

Surfing and life guarding top the list, with some of...
