13 Indiana Jones Imitators, Ranked Worst to Best

The Mummy Official Trailer #1 - Brendan Fraser Movie (1999) HDNo one since Indy and Marion have done it like Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as Rick and Evie in The Mummy movies. The action, the horror, the quests, those alarming CGI sandstorm faces, the gross-out beetles, the bickering, and the romance was all there. Losing Fraser and Weisz (sorry, the Rock in The Scorpion King) really fumbled what could have been Universal’s Indiana Jones competitor—though we’re still hoping the duo will return for a new Mummy adventure

John Cooper Clarke’s honest playlist: ‘The thrill of Elvis has never gone away’ | Music

The first song I remember hearingI remember my mum singing along to You Belong to Me by Jo Stafford. She’d have the radio on doing the housework and would sing along to the classics from the Great American Songbook, like Bei Mir Bist Du Schön by the Andrew Sisters, which I always thought was called My Beer Mr Shane. Phonetically, it’s quite an intelligent mistake.The song I secretly like, but tell everyone I hateI don’t really have guilty pleasures. If I like a song, I can defend it, every time. I’m no stranger to shame,…

Some white artists, like Elvis, exploit Black culture. So celebrate Bobby Caldwell, who enriched it | Nels Abbey

A Black person growing up in the west will experience moments of shock. There is the first time you knowingly experience racism, and here, for me, was another: the first time I realised that the man who sang the soul classic What You Won’t Do for Love was white.Long before there was Ed Sheeran, Adele, Justin Timberlake or, before them, Simply Red, Lisa Stansfield, Jon B (the only white musician Tupac Shakur ever made a record with), or even the current underground king of blue-eyed soul Mayer Hawthorne, there was Bobby…
