‘The Flash’ se adentra en el multiverso en una película que funciona a las mil maravillas

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:43:31 GMT

(CNN) — Las diversas incursiones de Marvel en el multiverso han dado lugar a resultados creativs algo desiguales, por lo que DC / Warner Bros. dieron en el clavo en el primer intento con “The Flash”, una película que lleva a flor de piel su amor por los cómics que la inspiraron. Divertida, llena de acción y conmovedora, cualquiera que esté familiarizado con los héroes de DC debería correr a verla.Tras el final de la serie de CW, este “Flash” parece llegar con un grado extra de dificultad y en un momento interesante, ya que DC se embarca en una nueva dirección bajo la dirección de James Gunn y Peter Safran. Además, esta versión del personaje tiene sus raíces en la “Liga de la Justicia” de Zack Snyder, que generó una de las campañas de fans más intensas y exigentes del universo de la cultura pop.Lo que en algunos aspectos funciona como una historia de orígenes de Flash también fusiona no sólo lo que Snyder ideó sino décadas de DC en el cine, c...

Trump vows to stay in the race even if convicted

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:43:31 GMT

Donald Trump vowed Saturday to continue running for president even if he were to be convicted as part of the 37-count federal felony indictment that was issued against him this week.“I’ll never leave,” Trump said in an interview aboard his plane. “Look, if I would have left, I would have left prior to the original race in 2016. That was a rough one. In theory that was not doable.”Trump is not legally prohibited from running for president from prison or as a convicted felon. But such a bid would nevertheless provide a massive stress test for the country’s political and legal systems.The former president leveled harsh criticisms at special counsel Jack Smith and argued that the case against him was politically motivated and flimsy. “These are thugs and degenerates who are after me,” he said.Trump predicted he would not be convicted and said he did not anticipate taking a plea deal, though he left open the possibility of doing so “where they pay me some damages.”He sidestepped the poss...

Playground stabbing: French town holds gathering to support wounded children, families

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:43:31 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Crowds of well-wishers gathered Sunday in the French Alps town of Annecy to show solidarity with victims of a playground stabbing attack that left four young children and two adults hospitalized.Annecy Mayor Francois Astorg called for a “citizens’ gathering’’ in the lakeside park where a man with a knife raced around stabbing people Thursday. City officials reopened the playground hours after the attack in an attempt to show the area was again safe.People have heaped flowers, stuffed toys and messages of support on the playground’s padded surface in the days since. A pink heart-shaped balloon tied to a bench read, “For the children – LOVE.”The children targeted were a 22-month-old Dutch girl, a 3-year-old British girl, and two 2-year-old French cousins, a boy and a girl. They received grave injuries and remain hospitalized, but their conditions improved to the point where their lives no longer were in danger, the regional prosecutor said Saturday.One of the wounded adul...

WWII codebreakers helped launch computer industry in St. Paul. They’ll be recognized this week.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:43:31 GMT

Thanks to a group of World War II codebreakers, St. Paul will be cemented in history as one of the birthplaces of modern computing technology this week.Born from the U.S. Navy codebreakers, a group known as Engineering Research Associates was in existence for only six years in St. Paul but would go on to have a global impact across computer technology, electronic communication and the medical device industry.The formation of ERA paved the way for entrepreneurs in computer technology to build up their businesses into nationally recognized corporations, said Don Hall, author of a book on the subject titled “Generation of Wealth: The Rise of Control Data and How it Inspired an Era of Innovation and Growth in the Upper Midwest.”“I think ERA should be acknowledged just like any other important artifact,” said Hall, who is financing a commemorative plaque that will be unveiled at ERA’s original St. Paul location on June 15. “I am hoping to leave the marker for future generations,” he said...
