Ben’s is getting a new look Iconic D.C. chili spot has painted over its mural of Cosby — and Obama TWITTER FIGHTS

THE WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES

THE DISTRICT Ben’s Chili Bowl, a landmark in D.C. along the U Street NW corridor, had been among the last public supporters of Bill Cosby. Amid accusations that the performer sexually assaulted dozens of women and revelations in court documents that Cosby admitted he intended to give drugs to women with whom he wanted to have sex, the restaurant maintained a large, colorful mural of him on the facade of its flagship location. Despite pressure from many in the community, the restaurant has not commented on the revelations, only saying that Cosby is a longtime friend and his face would remain. But Ben’s Chili Bowl, which opened in 1958, announced on its website that it painted over the mural this week, and Cosby’s face is no longer a visible presence in the popular U Street corridor. Cosby, however, wasn’t singled out: Portraits of former president Barack Obama, Go-Go music legend Chuck Brown and DJ Donnie

Ben’s Chili Bowl’s mural of Obama and Cosby, left, was recently painted over, right, to make way for something new.

Simpson were also painted over. The announcement did not explain why the mural was erased, but said it was painted in 2012 and that it was time for a refresh. “Now, after five years of braving the elements, it’s time to refresh and repaint the mural and we want your input!” the website reads. On its website, Ben’s Chili Bowl is asking the public to vote from a list of people whom they would like to see on the next mural. Cosby, Obama and Brown

are all contenders on the online ballot. Wale, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Mayor Muriel Bowser and former mayor Marion Barry Jr. are also included. Cosby and the Obama family are famously the only people who eat free at Ben’s. It’s unclear whether those privileges still stand. Vida Ali, a member of the family that owns Ben’s, said in a 2014 interview that Cosby is “part of our family” and his privileges still stood at that time. Ben’s Chili Bowl became a

local landmark after the 1968 riots that followed the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., which decimated much of the U Street NW corridor and other parts of the city. Stokely Carmichael, leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, asked the restaurant to stay open during the riots and past curfew. The restaurant was spared, and served food to black activists, firefighters and police officers trying to calm the city. PERRY STEIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Va. GOP threatens to derail Metro bill

THE DISTRICT

American University names new president

Legislation is needed to create an oversight body for transit agency

AMANDA VOISARD (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION House Republicans placed a roadblock in the path to creating a new Metro oversight body Thursday, but both GOP and Democratic leaders said there is plenty of time left in the legislative session to reverse the move. A House Transportation subcommittee voted along party lines for an amendment that would require Metro to weaken union protections and fix its pension deficit before the Metro Safety Commission is formed. If sustained, the amendment would derail a lengthy effort in Virginia, Maryland and the District — which must all approve identical legislation — to establish the federally mandated commission or risk losing millions of dollars in federal transit aid. The D.C. Council has approved the legislation, and it’s expected to pass in Maryland this legislative session. The amendment’s sponsor, Del. J. Randall Minchew, R-Loudoun, said the change is necessary to rein in Metro’s labor costs. Otherwise, he said, new investments ordered by the commission would add to Metro’s expenses and lead to a tax increase. “The Metro Safety Commission is a good idea, but this is the

which was given the responsibility over a year ago after federal officials determined that the former body responsible — the Tri-State Oversight Committee — was woefully inadequate. Virginia Transportation Secretary Aubrey Layne said GOP lawmakers might just be trying to draw attention to their ideas about how to fix Metro. He expressed hope that the commission would eventually win approval without conditions as the bill works its way through the General Assembly. “It’s a long process,” said Layne, who is part of the administration of Gov. Terry McAuliffe. “We have to see how much of this is political rhetoric and how much is their real stance.”

President Trump is threatening to take away federal funding from the nation’s capital for harboring illegal immigrants. But perhaps Trump shares one interest with his newly adopted city of D.C. When the president took one of his first excursions from the White House on Thursday, Trump’s armored limousine pulled up to a Philadelphia hotel sporting D.C.’s controversial “Taxation Without Representation” license plates. With each administration, residents watch to see if the occupant of the White House chooses the protest license plates, hoping they might gain a powerful ally in their quest for statehood. It remains entirely unclear if Trump assigns the same meaning to the plates. AARON C. DAVIS

It totally blows up a process that a lot of people worked on, at the very last minute.” The three jurisdictions are facing a Feb. 9 deadline to create the new safety commission — a deadline they readily acknowledge they won’t meet. But they hope to stave off the potential loss of millions in federal funding by showing the Trump administration that they are making significant progress.

Big tax may fund wall Mexico’s president cancels trip to U.S. amid proposals to build barrier along border Border patrol chief resigns amid pressure

presidency in 2018 and the wife of former president Felipe Calderón, said in an interview. “And after today, without a doubt, it is very difficult to negotiate from behind a wall.” Mexicans had trouble recalling a time when relations were this bad with the United States or when a U.S. president threatened Mexico’s core interests. “Never,” former president Vicente Fox said in an interview, when asked if Mexico had faced a comparable U.S. president in his lifetime. “And I never thought the U.S. people would go for a president like this.” Trump faulted the Mexicans for damaging the relationship and derailing the meeting. Addressing a GOP policy retreat in Philadelphia, Trump said Thursday afternoon, “Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless.” JOSHUA PARTLOW

NATIONAL SECURITY The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol has resigned after only six months on the job, one day after President Trump announced plans to ratchet up immigration enforcement and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said Thursday. Officials familiar with the decision said that Mark Morgan — a career FBI official who was the first outsider to lead the agency — was removed by Kevin K. McAleenan, the acting commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency. Morgan’s resignation is effective Jan. 31, officials said. Morgan had clashed with the Border Patrol union, which endorsed Trump for president and whose leaders were present Wednesday at Department of Homeland Security headquarters for Trump’s announcement of his immigration crackdown. Gil Kerlikowske, former commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol, said in an interview that the union never supported Morgan for the job and appeared to be behind his departure. During his short tenure, Morgan enforced new use-offorce policies in the agency’s training academy curriculum and was working with agents to help develop better intelligence on drug cartels.

NATIONAL SECURITY A deep rift opened Thursday between the United States and its southern neighbor, as the Trump administration pressed forward with a plan for a giant border wall and insisted that Mexico would pay for it, possibly through a U.S. tax on imports. President Enrique Peña Nieto on Thursday called off a trip to Washington after restating that Mexico would not finance the wall. Hours later, Trump’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, said the wall could be funded by a 20 percent import tax on goods from Mexico. Spicer subsequently appeared to backtrack, telling reporters that the tax was “one idea” to pay for the wall and that his intent was not to “roll out” a new policy. Critics said that if implemented, such a tax would mean that the wall’s cost ultimately would be borne by U.S. consumers. Peña Nieto had been scheduled to meet with Trump on Tuesday to discuss immigration, trade and drug-war cooperation. He called off the visit after Trump tweeted that it would be “better to cancel the upcoming meeting” if Mexico would not pay for the wall. Trump’s moves have rekindled old resentments in Mexico, a country that has often felt bullied and threatened by its wealthier, more powerful neighbor. Both Peña Nieto and Spicer said their countries wanted to maintain positive relations. “We will keep the lines of communication open,” Spicer told reporters in Washington on Thursday morning, adding that the White House would “look for a date to schedule something in the future.” The Mexican president tweeted that his government was willing to work with the United States “to reach agreements

that benefit both nations.” But Mexicans expressed shock a nd dismay at Trump’s plan for Peña Nieto the wall. Mexicans view a wall across the 2,000-mile border as a symbolic affront, part of a package of Trump policies that could cause the country serious economic pain. They include a crackdown on illegal immigrants, who send billions of dollars home, and renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. The treaty has allowed trade between the neighbors to mushroom. Every day, goods valued at $1.4 billion cross the border, and millions of jobs are linked to trade on both sides. Mexico is the second-largest customer for American-made products, and 80 percent of Mexican exports are sold to the United States.

nation+world Procedure is early step to use animals to grow organs for transplants SCIENCE Scientists have grown human cells inside pig embryos, a very early step toward the goal of growing livers and other human organs in animals to transplant into people. The cells made up just a tiny part of each embryo, and the embryos were grown for only a few weeks, researchers reported Thursday. Such human-animal research has raised ethical concerns. The U.S. government suspended taxpayer funding of experiments in 2015. The new work, done in

California and Spain, was paid for by private foundations. Any growing of human organs in pigs is “far away,” said Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif., an author of the paper in the journal Cell. He said the new research is “just a very early step toward the goal.” Even before that is achieved, he said, putting human cells in animals could pay off for studies of how genetic diseases develop and for screening potential drugs. Animals with cells from different species are called “chimeras.” Such mixing has been done before with mice and rats. Larger animals like pigs would be needed to make human-sized organs. That

animals would grow those organs in place of their own, and they would be euthanized before the organ is removed. Most of the organ cells would be human. By injecting pig embryos with stem cells from the person who will get the transplant, the problem of rejection should be minimized, said another Salk researcher, Jun Wu. Ethics experts were impressed by the results. “It really does give a green light to explore more,” said Insoo Hyun of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. “It seems kind of creepy,” he said. But “this is a strategy to help save human lives” and so it is justified if properly done, he said. MALCOLM RITTER (AP)

Trump-May meeting has meaning for both

TICK, TICK, TICK ...

Uh, oh — ‘Doomsday’ gets closer

POLITICS When British Prime Minister Theresa May becomes the first world leader to meet with President Trump in the Oval Office on Friday, the two will have much in common to discuss. Both were catapulted to power on the back of populist shocks in 2016. Both have promised to deliver radical change to their countries. And both now lead nations at the heart of a Western alliance facing its most serious identity crisis in decades. Yet beneath the similarities lie profound differences in style and substance that make the two leaders less the second coming of the Thatcher-Reagan transAtlantic lovefest and more a geopolitical odd couple. May is everything that Trump is not: a careful, low-key and pragmatic member of the political establishment with a decades-long career in elective office. She holds mainstream positions on critical issues such as trade and security that put her sharply at odds with Trump’s protectionism and isolationism. She tweets about Christmas and World AIDS Day, not alleged voter fraud or feuds with the news media, celebrities or political opponents. She prizes the NATO military

alliance and holds skeptical views of Russia — uncertain ground with Trump. Whether those differences dominate their meeting or they manage to bond over their shared circumstances, this could be a critical moment for both leaders.

May probably has more to gain or lose from the visit. With her country preparing to leave the European Union, she is gambling her premiership on her ability to forge new relationships beyond the continent — with a strengthened Anglo-American bond at the top of her wish list. She also needs to convince Trump that NATO fits into his “America first” vision of defense and overseas engagement. For Trump, May’s arrival within a week of his inauguration is a chance for him to project legitimacy and normality to U.S. allies still struggling to come to grips with his unexpected electoral victory and who still view him with suspicion — if not outright contempt.

A separate video of the family’s arrest went viral last month. Mother Jacqueline Craig called police to report that a neighbor choked her 7-year-old son, and it developed into an altercation among white police officer William Martin, her and her daughters, ages 19 and 15. All three women were charged with resisting arrest, among other charges. The bodycam video shows Martin pushing the older daughter’s arms, which were handcuffed, above her head from behind when she won’t answer a question. It also shows him pushing another young female who approaches the police car, and using his foot to push the 15-year-old into the police car. Craig’s attorneys provided The Associated Press with the footage, and documents showing the officer had previously been disciplined for use of force involving a black teenager. Police spokeswoman Tamara Valle said the department could not authenticate the video or the disciplinary report at this time. Martin has returned to work after a 10-day suspension that he is appealing. CLAUDIA LAUER (AP)

Wizards’ point guard enjoys best season yet on rehabilitated knees NBA On the day he was selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star for the fourth consecutive year, Wizards point guard John Wall spent the afternoon as he usually does — in the cold tub. Inside Verizon Center on Thursday, Wall was poked with needles that made his muscles twitch, stretched to the point that his body jerked on the trainer’s table, and positioned in a machine that keeps the blood flowing through his calves and thighs. Even after a light team practice, he must go through a physically rigorous routine. Wall underwent surgery on both knees in the offseason but recovered in time for the start of the regular season. Though he has previous All-Star Weekend experience as a starter and even as the winner of the dunk

contest in 2014, his selection by NBA coaches as one of seven reserves for the All-Star Game on Feb. 14 in New Orleans might be one of his greatest individual accomplishments. “When I was ... listening to what the doctor was telling me and how long it might take, [the doctor said] ‘you might not be ready to start the season right away,’ ” said Wall, before revealing another shocker: “I really wasn’t supposed to play backto-backs until January.” As part of a recovery plan devised by the Wizards, Wall’s representatives and his surgeon, he sat out the second night of the team’s first two sets of back-toback games. After that, he returned to playing full time and has starred in what has been a career season. Wall is averaging a careerbest 23.1 points per game to go along with 10.1 assists. He has 26 double-doubles, more than twice the total of any other guard in the East, and leads the conference

Wall also has a steal in 33 straight games — the longest such streak of his career. As of Thursday morning, Wall ranked fourth among all guards in minutes played with 36.4 per game — a number that stands out even more considering how the Wizards wanted to restrict him earlier in the season. “I think that would’ve hurt us as a team but also hurt me, without me being able to be out there and help my teammates out,” Wall said.

Serena Williams, left, and older sister Venus have combined to win 29 singles titles at Grand Slam tournaments.

Ageless Williams sisters will square off for title Serena is 16-11 overall and 6-2 in major finals against her older sister AUSTRALIAN OPEN Venus Williams is back in a Grand Slam singles final for the first time since 2009, and as fate would have it, she’ll be facing her younger sister, Serena. The decorated pair, who have 29 major singles titles between them, will square off for the Australian Open title Saturday. Venus has already authored a remarkable story just by getting this far. At 36, the 13th-seeded Williams had become the oldest woman to reach the Australian Open semifinals. Once there, she dispatched unseeded American

244

CoCo Vandeweghe, 6-7 (7-3), 6-2, 6-3, to reach the final in Melbourne for the first time since 2003. In the second of Thursday’s semifinals, No. 2 seed Serena, 35, made short work of unseeded Croatian Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, 6-2, 6-1. That match ended in under an hour. Serena beat Venus for that 2003 Aussie Open title, one of her six titles in Melbourne. On Saturday, Venus will seek her 23rd Grand Slam singles championship, one fewer than Margaret Court’s all-time record. Playing in her record 73rd Grand Slam event, Venus will try to win her first major title since Wimbledon in 2008, when she defeated Serena in the final.

“Everyone has their moment in the sun. Maybe mine has gone on a while, but I’d like to keep that going,” Venus said on the court after beating Vandeweghe. The sisters will play each other in a Grand Slam for the 15th time and meet in a major final for the ninth time. Serena holds a 6-2 edge in those finals, with her other loss to Venus coming at the 2001 U.S. Open. In all matches between them, Serena holds a 16-11 advantage and has won the past seven of eight, with Venus’s most recent such win coming in 2014 at Montreal. “She’s my toughest opponent,” Serena said. “No matter what happens, we’ve won. A Williams is going to win this tournament.”

of the Redskins, telling The Washington Post on Wednesday that quarterback Kirk Cousins, below, knows the team wants him back. Speaking at Senior Bowl practices in Mobile, Ala., Allen said the team wants to sign Cousins to a long-term contract. Cousins will become an unrestricted free agent unless Washington signs him or uses the franchise tag.

NFL CONCUSSIONS DECREASE

The number of concussions suffered in preseason and regular-season NFL games in 2016, according to data the league released Thursday. That number is a decrease from 275 in 2015, which was a high over the past five years. Dr. Robert Heyer, president of the NFL Physicians Society and team internist for the Panthers, cited players’ willingness to report injuries as making a major difference in the numbers. There were 71 reported concussions in the preseason, the lowest in the past five years. (AP) Roger Federer beats Stan Wawrinka 7-5, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6, 6-3 in Australian Open semifinal

Minnesota guard Zach LaVine said he will not return to the event to try to win it for a third straight year. LaVine, 21, defended his title in Toronto last season, winning a thrilling duel with Orlando’s Aaron Gordon. LaVine said he has nothing left to prove and is more focused on trying to help the Timberwolves make the playoffs. The Wolves started Thursday in 12th place in the Western Conference but were just 2½ games out of eighth. (AP)

Reds sign RHP Feldman to vie for starting spot The Reds announced Thursday the signing of right-hander Scott Feldman, 33, to a one-year deal. He threw mostly out of the bullpen last season for Houston and Toronto, making five starts in 40 appearances. He was 7-4 with a 3.97 ERA, with 56 strikeouts and 19 walks. He has been in the majors since 2005, also playing for the Rangers, Cubs and Orioles. Reds GM Dick Williams said Feldman’s style as a ground ball pitcher fits the Reds’ park, and he thinks Feldman can compete for a rotation spot. The Reds last week traded starter Dan Straily to Miami.

NEW IN TOWN

The Dalton 1225 First St., Alexandria

(FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

MICHELE LERNER (TWP)

ST. MARTIN’S GRIFFIN

Lose, who suggests visiting the Danish Embassy, which is hygge by design. The building is the work of the late Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, who inserted hygge-friendly touches, such as the chandeliers that hang throughout the residence. Their playful circles of bulbs, each inside a glass, can be dimmed to adjust the mood. Once you have the proper setting, embrace all things cozy. When she has the time, Fortune lights not only the candles but also her two Morso wood-burning stoves. She prepares hot chocolate and glogg, or mulled wine, and bakes rye bread from scratch. Then she savors sitting around with no real plans — just board games, books and blankets. Setting up such a hyggelig scene requires energy and attention, but it’s a process she enjoys because she knows how wonderful the result will feel. “Living in Washington, we work long hours. This is one way to switch off, go down in gears,” Fortune says. That seems like a good thing to know how to do, even if you can’t pronounce it. VICKY HALLETT

The Dalton, a new 14-story apartment building in Old Town Alexandria, is under construction by High Street Residential, Trammell Crow Co., Meadow Partners and Clark Construction. Designed by SK+I Architecture, the 270-unit building is one of the tallest in the area surrounding the Braddock Road Metro station. The topfloor units will have unobstructed views of the Washington skyline and the Potomac River. Planned amenities include more than 10,000 square feet of common space and a rooftop swimming pool, and an area with a fireplace, grills, an indoor lounge, a fitness center and a yoga studio. The Dalton, anticipated to be completed in November, will begin pre-leasing in the summer or early fall. Rents have yet to be determined. For more information or to be placed on a waiting list, visit daltonapts.com.

To Cynthia Sanford, could use some hygge. manager of the Kensington, Md., branch of Modern Mobler, who practices DESIGN TRENDS Kira Fortune, a Dane who now lives in Chevy Chase with her family, frequently finds herself fielding questions about candles. There are 14 in her living space at the moment, not counting the ones inside lanterns in her yard. She lights all of them. To her, that’s hygge, which demands that “you go out of your way to be uber-cozy,” she says. Until about a year ago, almost no one had heard that term — except for the people of Denmark, who use it incessantly, according to Danish Ambassador Lars Gert Lose. “Hygge is part of our DNA,” he says. Roughly translated into English, hygge means coziness. But, Lose adds, “It’s as hard to define as it is to pronounce.” (“HOOgah” gets you close enough.) To him, hygge is a combination of three factors: the space you’re in, the people you’re with and the intention “to create a sanctuary.” Nail the details, and it

hygge with a knitting project, a sleek sideboard fits that bill — you can use it to display items and tuck away a few of your favorite things for easy access. “I always want my knitting and yarn near me,” she says. Go Green: Bring nature home with a houseplant. “How to Hygge” author Signe Johansen recommends aloe vera plants — they’re a funky shape, they’re low-maintenance and they’re useful. “It’s the best thing for applying on a burn,” she says. If you’re picking up a bouquet from the florist, go monochromatic. “Too many colors can feel hectic,” she explains. Find your sources: Kira Fortune’s strategy for creating “a Copenhagen house in Washington” involves knowing where to shop. She hits up Ikea every two weeks to restock her candle supply. The Swedish store also sells rye bread mix and holiday foodstuffs. Rodman’s in Friendship Heights is her source for marzipan and chocolates. For Kahler-brand striped vases and other ceramic accessories, she orders from royaldesign.com. And when she’s desperate for other goodies from home, she turns to design emporium Illums Bolighus (illumsbolighus.com), which ships to the United States.

adds up to an all-encompassing sense of comfort and well-being. In Denmark, which boasts eight months of weather forecasts that might make you want to stay in bed, hygge has served as the ultimate coping strategy. Now, the secret’s out. Blame the buzz on current events, says food writer Signe

Johansen, author of “How to Hygge,” which explains how she maintains her Nordic traditions while living in London. “People are worried and anxious about the future — 2016 was a discombobulating year for many reasons,” she says. A conducive environment is key to experiencing hygge, says

Dennis Quaid’s dialogue often consists of asking his pooch, “Who’s a good boy?”

ALSO OPENING

‘Gold’

‘Dog’s’ is a mixed breed Both heart-wrenching and hackneyed, this canine flick is not sure of its ‘purpose’ FILM REVIEW Part “Marley & Me” and part “Lassie Come Home,” in addition to possessing the cinematic DNA of several other caninethemed feel-good films, “A Dog’s Purpose” is an eager-to-please mutt of a family movie. It follows a single dog — or, for lack of a better word, a single dog’s soul — over several lifetimes. Amiably voiced by Josh Gad, whose highly food-motivated character takes the form of a retriever, a German shepherd, a corgi and a St. Bernard Australian shepherd mix, the film’s real hero is manifested in several furry forms. A fifth incarnation of the dog is seen, briefly, at the start of the film, before being presumably euthanized off camera. Other deaths, however, are not so discreet. One dog dying per movie is hard enough to watch. Having to sit through the shooting of a police dog and several

close-ups of an old dog’s eyes as he passes away on a veterinarian’s examination table is almost a form of audience abuse. Then there’s the shot of a puppy locked in a hot car. Adult animal lovers and sensitive children be warned: This movie will put you through the wringer. “A Dog’s Purpose,” which is based on the 2010 book by W. Bruce Cameron, has been in the news lately for leaked footage from the filming that shows a panicked dog struggling with a trainer who is trying to put the canine actor in a water tank meant to evoke a churning river. Although the film’s producer, Gavin Polone, has responded to calls for a boycott of the film with an apologia/defense in The Hollywood Reporter of the production’s humane treatment of its animal performers, the leaked video has the ironic effect of making the sequence

‘A Dog’s Purpose’ (PG, 100 min.) DIRECTOR: Lasse Hallstrom STARS: Josh Gad, Dennis Quaid, Peggy Lipton, K.J. Apa IN A NUTSHELL: A dog forms bonds with several owners when he is reincarnated as multiple canines over the course of a few decades.

that appears in the finished film seem a bit fake. (A CGI shepherd was used in one short shot, Polone noted.) As a rule, “A Dog’s Purpose” is hokey but harmless bunkum. No animals were seriously injured, and audiences won’t be either. This is not the place to debate the theory of canine transmigration. Enjoyment of the film doesn’t require it anyway, and the movie can be read as a simple metaphor for the way we feel about the connection to our animal companions, not a literal exegesis of reincarnation. Director Lasse Hallstrom — whose “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale”

Elton John to compose music for Broadway adaptation of “The Devil Wears Prada”

demonstrated the filmmaker’s skill and soft heart for dog tales — does a serviceable job of managing the action, which mainly concerns the bond between a dog and his master (played as a boy by Bryce Gheisar, as a teen by K.J. Apa and as a grown man by Dennis Quaid). The fact that one half of the relationship is rendered by two different dogs is a touch that is calibrated to tug hearts and jerk tears — at least for the more credulous viewers. As for the film’s somewhat grandiose title, “A Dog’s Purpose” opens with Gad, in character, wondering aloud about the meaning of life. Although the movie gets around to proposing an answer to that question, the one it delivers is about as deep as a dog’s water bowl. The purpose of “A Dog’s Purpose” isn’t to solve philosophical riddles but to warm the cockles of dog lovers’ hearts. That, it does — as well as a wet kiss from a slobbery tongue can. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

R, 120 min.

Based on the real-life exploits of David Walsh, a Calgary businessman who claimed, in the 1990s, to have found a gold mine potentially worth several billion dollars, “Gold” is decidedly unelectric. It never rises above a character study, albeit one centered on a big personality played by Matthew McConaughey. The movie is sitting on a gold mine of a backstory, but it just can’t figure out how to get the stuff out of the ground. MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN (TWP)

‘I Am Michael’ Unrated, 100 min.

“I Am Michael” is the true story of a gay activist (James Franco) who rejected his homosexuality to become a controversial Christian pastor. The film, produced by Gus Van Sant, clumsily addresses the theme of identity, although it avoids treating the title character as a villain. As Michael’s crisis reaches a climax, he is shown facing his reflection in the mirror. PAT PADUA (TWP)

movies KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY | THE REELIST

In 2010, after Mel Gibson was secretly recorded telling an exgirlfriend that it would be her fault if she was “raped by a pack of n-----s” and that she needed “a f---ing bat in the side of the head,” I wrote a column wondering when — not if — he’d be forgiven by Hollywood, both for that and for his 2006 misogynistic, anti-Semitic drunken rant during a DUI arrest. After all, it took less than four years after Roman Polanski pleaded guilty in 1977 to “unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor” (which normal people, who recognize that the victim was 13 at the time, would call “raping a child”) for him to be nominated for a best director

Oscar for “Tess” and 26 years for him to win the best director Oscar for “The Pianist.” Polanski wasn’t around to accept that award, because he ran from the punishment he got for raping a child, and the minute he sets foot on U.S. soil he’ll be arrested and subject to that punishment he got for raping a child. Now that last year’s “Hacksaw Ridge” has been nominated for best picture, and Gibson for best director, I guess we can assume that the statute of limitations for verbally and sadistically abusing the mother of one of your children is seven years. Good to know. The Oscars, of course, are not a measure of morality. Frankly, I don’t think they’re even a measure of how good a movie is, but I’m on the losing

Oh, Mel no!: The Oscars’ blinders are back on again Mel Gibson

end of that argument. Sometimes good movies win Oscars, and sometimes bad movies do. (Hey, 2006 best picture winner “Crash”! What are you up to lately? Actually never mind. I don’t care.) The same is true of the people who win them. Moviemaking is a business and, like all businesses, sometimes the successful people are jerks. Or racist. Or sexist, or antiSemitic … and sometimes they bundle all of them up in one handy package that you open by dousing it with alcohol. And, as a society, we’re probably too comfortable separating art from artist — assuming

ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE

Nate Parker

Casey Affleck

it’s the right kind of artist. Best actor nominee Casey Affleck settled two sexual harassment suits in 2010. Woody Allen basically lives amid a storm of sexual misconduct accusations, but that hasn’t hurt his Academy chances over the years. I am deeply uncomfortable with the allegations of rape that surround director Nate Parker, who was acquitted of sexual assault in 2001. I am also uncomfortable that the allegations got heavy coverage just as his “The Birth of a Nation” was being released. The film, considered a lock for a best picture nomination before

the scandal made headlines, was snubbed by the Academy. If you’re going to be a bad boy, it helps to be a white one. If we’re going to agree — and it seems that at least the Academy has — that the passage of time gives you enough of a pass that you get a pat on the back and a shot at a trophy, then we need to overtly state what Gibson’s nomination has (AGAIN) implied: When it comes to certain kinds of behavior, Hollywood has a long tradition of having a very short memory.

The week’s best movie previews

‘Colossal’

‘T2 Trainspotting’

EXPECTED RELEASE: April 7

EXPECTED RELEASE: March 17

SUMMARY: Anne Hathaway stars as a hard-drinking woman who wakes up one day and discovers that she is somehow controlling an otherworldly monster who is running rampant across the world. Since she’s probably hung over, we assume the creature’s first stop is at McDonald’s for a greasy, soak-up-thebooze breakfast. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: Director Danny Boyle looks to be bringing the same saturated look, the same frenetic camerawork and the same mostly understandable Scottish accents to this sequel to the 1996 movie that convinced us that taking heroin is a really, really bad idea. Most of the boys are back, and by some miracle they’re still alive. K.P.K.

“Is it wrong that I find Vicente Fox’s trolling of Trump entertaining? Unbecoming of world leaders, but nonetheless comical.”

She is a wonderful lady. Her kindness brightens everyone’s morning on the way to work. She deserves to be recognized.

@HOLS_502 on former Mexican President Vicente Fox’s Twitter attacks

— Forest Glen Metro rider

on President Trump over his proposed border wall. After White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that Mexico would pay for the wall, Fox tweeted, “I’ll tell you: Mexico is not going to pay for that f---ing wall.” His tweet sparked the hashtag #F---ingWall, which was taken up by angry Americans. “We can’t improve the country’s infrastructure or provide affordable college ... but we’re seriously going to build a #F---ingWall,” @Nahyochillfam tweeted.

All work and no play...

@NXTOM is one of many Twitter users who aren’t happy about the platform’s latest update. Twitter announced Thursday that it is changing the “Moments” tab to “Explore,” which will feature a list of Twitter trends, showcase live video and remain the home of the old “Moments” feature. “It’s easier than ever to see what’s happening around the world. Spoiler alert: it’s ending,” @DonovanWoods tweeted.

“Twitter how’s about we explore that edit button some more?”

“Every American should buy @DavidMuir a drink after having to do this ludicrous interview.” @MINDYJOANN reacts to David Muir’s interview with President Trump,

which aired on ABC on Wednesday night. Trump continued to press debunked claims of widespread voter fraud and said he would have won the popular vote if he had campaigned for it. Americans’ reactions on social media paralleled their opinions of Trump: Some felt that Muir didn’t push the president enough, while others felt Muir was rude.

@FFL_OF_AMERICA tweets ahead

of the March for Life, which takes place on the National Mall today. Marchers shared concerns on social media that the march would not receive the same coverage in the media as the Women’s March.

“Did the White House Press Secretary just tweet his password? I don’t know about y’all, but I feel safe.” @ANNALECTA after White House

press secretary Sean Spicer sent out the cryptic tweet “n9y25ah7” at 8:42 a.m. Thursday. It was deleted soon afterwards, but the screen grabs that circulated led to speculation that Spicer’s tweet was his Twitter password or even the nuclear codes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You know that you can help someone in need, but the timing may not be right. Also, you must offer instruction in the right way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may find yourself in a heated battle pitched by those who have nothing to lose. You, on the other hand, are likely risking a lot. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Dangers of many types will appear. When you encounter a known threat, your instincts kick in, but the unknown requires careful thought.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your actions can surely offer excitement to onlookers, but it’s serious business for you. You must not be distracted by the hubbub.

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Someone is waiting for you to engage in a conversation that may prove to be more important than either of you suspects. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Things may not be going exactly as planned, but you can turn this to your advantage. A rival will be surprised by your progress.

DIFFICULT

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.

Most people take photos of sandcastles at the beach, but this works too

TIMOTHY A. CLARY (GETTY IMAGES)

Ashley Graham shared a photo of herself at the beach Wednesday. The Instagram photo was a close-up shot of the model’s leg, dimpled with cellulite. “I do my best to eat well,” she wrote. “I love the skin I’m in. And I’m not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite. And you shouldn’t be either.” (EXPRESS)

For his crime against fashion, LaBeouf has been ordered to burn his poncho.

Dakota Johnson spoke to Glamour UK this week about her newfound love of sex toys. “Oh, some of that stuff is just so beautiful,” the actress said. “When we first started on ‘Fifty Shades [of Grey],’ that wasn’t a world I was privy to at all. … There are some things out there that are really grimy and nasty, and then there are really beautiful, intricate and chic toys.”

INSPIRATION

Sofia’s relatives would like cut of that TV money In a new interview with Hola! magazine, Sofia Vergara addressed criticism of her “Modern Family” character, Gloria. “What’s wrong with being a stereotype?” she said. “Gloria’s character is inspired by my mom and my aunt. They are both Latin women who grew up in Colombia, like me. They love color, prints and shoes.” (EXPRESS)

It’s only because she voted for Burger King In an interview with Bon Appetit, “Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee said she predicts President Trump will serve McDonald’s at his state dinners. “If I were attending one of his state dinners — though I doubt that I would get invited — I’d probably have to bring one of my granola bars,” she told the magazine. “Just in case.” (EXPRESS)

Shia arrested over pretty lame fight Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New York City early Thursday after he got into an altercation during a performance art project. Police said LaBeouf pushed a man and pulled his scarf outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, scratching his face in the process. LaBeouf faces a misdemeanor assault charge and is due in court April 4. The tussle happened on the seventh day of a live-stream that LaBeouf has had running since Donald Trump’s first day as president. The piece invites the public to repeat the phrase “He will not divide us” into a camera mounted on a wall. (AP)
