A member of the of Royal de Luxe street theater group sits in a tent on the facade of a building in Saint-Herblain, France, on Thursday. The performance piece, called “Monsieur Bourgogne,” will be on view for about a week.

An Ohio woman found that sometimes there really is something lurking in your kids’ closet. In Caitlin Burch’s case, it was an opossum. Her daughters had been complaining for three days about a “creature” living in their closet, but Burch and her husband thought they were just playing, UPI reported. Burch later shared a photo of the animal hiding among toys in the closet. Burch’s husband captured the opossum and released it in the woods. (EXPRESS)

A Dickson, Tenn., movie theater that sits across from a church and next to an elementary school is promoting the latest movie in the “Hellboy” franchise as “Heckboy.” The G-rated advertisement has caused a local buzz around the $50 million movie. Manager Belinda Daniel says the theater avoids putting words on its sign that may be seen as profanity. She says she’s glad the sign had provided some laughs. (AP)

A parrot was taken into custody Monday after nearly spoiling a raid while playing lookout for two crack-dealing suspects by repeatedly yelling, “Mamãe, polícia!” (“Mama, police!”), according to Brazilian police in the state of Piauí. As police searched for the suspects, the lime-green bird knew just what to do. His efforts were not successful, however. His apparent owners, a man and teen girl, were arrested.

FBI, IRS raid mayor’s homes

SILVER SPRING

Release OK’d for officer accused of terrorist plot

BALTIMORE Federal agents raided the homes and City Hall offices of Baltimore’s embattled mayor Thursday amid dramatically widening investigations to determine whether she used bulk sales of her obscure self-published children’s books to disguise kickbacks. The multiple searches pushed the latest political scandal for Maryland’s largest city to a crescendo after weeks of uncertainty and mounting pressure for Mayor Catherine Pugh to step down. The politically isolated firstterm mayor slipped out of sight April 1, citing deteriorating health, just as the governor called on the state prosecutor to investigate allegations of “self-dealing” by the embattled Democrat. Gov. Larry Hogan joined calls for her immediate resignation after news broke of the Thursday morning raids, as agents with the FBI and the IRS criminal division carried boxes of evidence out of City Hall. Agents also scoured her two Baltimore homes, the home of an aide and a nonprofit organization she once led. The mayor’s attorney, Steve Silverman, said federal agents came to his city law firm Thursday morning to serve a subpoena for her original financial records. And University of Maryland

Baltimore’s leader under investigation for allegations of kickbacks

FBI agents remove items Thursday from the home of Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh as part of a corruption probe.

Medical System spokesman Michael Schwartzberg disclosed that the medical system received a grand jury witness subpoena seeking documents and information related to Pugh. Days before announcing her departure on an indefinite leave of absence she held a hastily organized news conference where she called her no-contract book deals a well-intentioned but “regrettable mistake.” Others have been less charitable about the murky arrangements that earned $800,000 for her “Healthy Holly” limited liability company. Maryland’s chief accountant called Pugh’s “self-dealing” book deals “brazen, cartoonish corruption.” For years, Pugh, 69, had

somehow negotiated lucrative deals to sell her “Healthy Holly” books to customers. She sold $500,000 worth of the illustrated paperbacks to the University of Maryland Medical System, on whose board she sat for nearly 20 years. She also made $300,000

in bulk sales to other customers, including two major health carriers that did business with the city. Pugh remained silent Thursday. Her main spokesman, James Bentley, said he hadn’t spoken with her and didn’t even know where she is. But Silverman said he met with her Thursday afternoon to discuss “options” after the court-authorized searches. Political analysts say Pugh’s biggest bargaining chip is her refusal to resign from office. But City Council member Brandon Scott said an exhausted Baltimore has had enough. He reiterated the council’s unanimous demand for her resignation, calling the spectacle of the Thursday raids “an embarrassment to the city.” DAVID McFADDEN (AP)

INCREASED REVENUE ON DULLES TOLL ROAD

The increase in revenue on the Dulles Toll Road during the first three months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. The increase comes despite fewer people taking the Virginia toll road after a rate hike that took effect in January, although the dropoff was less than expected by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which operates the road. In March alone, toll road revenue was $16.7 million — about $5 million more than what was collected in March 2018. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

History lessons: Book reveals D.C. by way of Metro about bars and restaurants. And “I don’t know what the best bar is for brunch or where you can find the best mimosa” — although she’s excited that the Iron Age Korean Steak House is opening a restaurant in D.C. “They cook it right in front of you and it’s amazing. Best pork belly ever, and bulgogi. … Anyway, I forgot your question,” she said, before explaining she likes that history is made up of stories. She’d also been annoyed that people didn’t know more about their city’s history. A cab driver once bragged to her that he was 10th generation D.C., then mansplained that the District limits building heights because the city didn’t want anything to rise above the Washington Monument. Goldchain, who used to be the editor of Curbed D.C., a local news site focused on neighborhoods and architecture, knew otherwise. “It was because of the Cairo,” she said, referring to the 12-story Cairo apartment building, built in Dupont Circle in 1894. “People were really afraid. They thought, ‘This is too high and it’s going to fall.’ ” Goldchain’s book is like talking to her, ranging from why the Pentagon is low and has its shape to why there’s a statue of a rooster named Roscoe near the Takoma Metro station. As dusk descended around the Dupont Circle Metro station on a recent evening, Goldchain wandered by the ornate fountain nearby, as fascinated by what isn’t there as by the panels depicting the sea, the

A couple of years ago, Michelle Goldchain, 26, was annoyed by all the D.C. haters living in D.C. They’re the kind of people who say the city is boring. She knew that wasn’t true, that within blocks of every one of Metro’s 91 stations there are countless stories. Like why is it that Dupont Circle has no statute for Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, the hero of the Mexican and Civil wars for whom it is named (though misspelled)? Goldchain has a tendency to make things when she feels things. Almost three years ago, she was despondent over the results of the election. So she dressed up a mannequin like Donald Trump in a MAGA cap and stuck its head in a red, white and blue toilet. Then, a couple of years ago, she was thinking how it’s important for women to see other women doing what they aspire to do. So she created a newsletter, Capital Women, and then a podcast interviewing prominent D.C. women. And so, annoyed by the D.C. naysayers, she wrote a book: “DC by Metro: A History & Guide.” Published recently by The History Press, the book features 314 pages of brief descriptions of landmarks, including Dupont Circle. Goldchain’s mind tends to take leaps when you talk to her. She was asked one night last week why she’d focused on history. She explained that there were already lots of guides

Author Michelle Goldchain was sick of locals not knowing D.C.’s history.

Let’s get rid of it,’ ” she said. The statue ended up in a park in Wilmington, Del. In its place the family commissioned the fountain.

Goldchain’s mind took another leap as she passed the white marble and brick Patterson Mansion. The architect, Stanford White, also designed the site of the Adams Memorial near the Fort Totten station. A historian, Henry Adams, commissioned the memorial in 1885, she said. His wife committed suicide, and he wanted to find a way to memorialize her. An application to place it on the national historic register said Adams wanted to “convey the acceptance of intellectuality, of the inevitable.” “The way people spoke back then was so beautiful. What happened?” Goldchain wondered. “Now we just speak in emojis.” Reach Kery Murakami at kery.murakami@washpost.com. Follow him @theDCrider.

With several Metro stations in Virginia set to close this summer during a refurbishing project, the transit agency says the parking facilities at three stations will remain open for use free of charge. The move is meant to encourage riders to use alternative transportation options, including carpooling. Normally, commuters parking at the Huntington, FranconiaSpringfield and Van Dorn Street stations on the Yellow and Blue lines pay $4.95 a day for parking. But Metro’s governing board Thursday approved a plan for free parking while the stations are closed from May 25 to Sept. 8. “In addition … customers can take advantage of express shuttle service to the Pentagon and conveniently transfer to the rail system,” the agency said in a statement. A total of six stations on the Blue and Yellow lines will be closed throughout the summer during platform-improvement work, but the other three stations — Eisenhower Avenue, King Street-Old Town and Braddock Road — do not have Metro parking facilities. The reconstruction work is meant to “address safety and accessibility concerns and structural deterioration as a result of exposure to outdoor elements,” Metro said, adding that crews are scheduled to work around the clock during the 15-week shutdown.

Putin, Kim discuss security VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA Russian President Vladimir Putin emerged from his first summit with Kim Jong Un on Thursday saying that North Korea needs international security guarantees, not just U.S. pledges, if it’s to consider giving up its nuclear arsenal. Putin’s call for more multinational involvement — presumably reflecting views by Kim — contrasts sharply with President Trump’s strategy of one-on-one dialogue with the North Korean leader. It also reinforced North Korea’s attempt to link security and sanctions relief as twin demands in negotiations over its nuclear program. Meeting in the port city of Vladivostok in Russia’s Far East, two months after Kim’s failed talks with Trump, Putin raised the option of reviving international talks with North Korea if Kim was not satisfied with U.S. positions on security issues. “They [North Koreans] only need guarantees about their security. That’s it. All of us together need to think about this,” Putin told reporters after the talks with Kim. Six-party talks with North Korea — aimed at persuading Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program — fell apart a decade ago when Pyongyang pulled out; the negotiations included

Russian leader calls for multinational approach to Korean negotiations

Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, toasts with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un during their summit in Vladivostok.

Russia, China, South Korea, the United States and Japan. North Korea also has pushed for a peace declaration to formally halt the Korean War, which ended with an armistice in 1953, but without a peace treaty. Kim also has denounced past U.S.South Korea military exercises as a provocation. “Nobody is in a position to give them the security guarantees they would like to have,” said Andrei Lankov, a North Korea expert at Kookmin University in Seoul. “They want a guarantee not only against an outside attack but also against possible internal discontent. … On balance, it’s a non-starter.” Putin said he would press the security issue on Kim’s behalf

with Beijing and Washington. “We do share interests with the United States. We stand for full denuclearization,” Putin told reporters after the meeting. For the Kremlin, eager to play a part in nuclear talks, the flashy summit shows Russia’s growing political role around the globe. It would be a mistake, Putin said, not to involve regional players such as Russia and China, and instead rely on the United States and South Korea to try to resolve the situation on the peninsula. “It’s unlikely that any agreements between two countries will be enough,” he said. For Kim, meeting a world leader such as Putin presented an opportunity to save face after the breakdown in his second round

of talks with Trump in Hanoi. According to Russian state media, the one-on-one meeting between Putin and Kim lasted almost two hours, much longer than the 50 minutes allotted. Putin was scheduled to leave Vladivostok soon after his talks with Kim for a summit in Beijing. Washington will be closely watching from the sidelines for any potential cracks in economic sanctions and other pressures on Kim’s regime. Wary of a possible Russian turnaround, the U.S. State Department sent its envoy for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, to Moscow last week to push for maintaining pressure to realize the country’s full denuclearization.

N. Korea billed U.S. $2M for Warmbier’s care WASHINGTON North Korea issued a $2 million bill for the hospital care of comatose American Otto Warmbier, insisting that a U.S. official sign a pledge to pay it before being allowed to fly the University of Virginia student from Pyongyang in 2017. The presentation of the invoice — not previously disclosed by U.S. or North Korean officials — was extraordinarily brazen even for a regime known for its aggressive tactics. But the main U.S. envoy sent to retrieve Warmbier signed an agreement to pay the medical bill on instructions passed down from President Trump, according to two people familiar with the situation. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The bill went to the Treasury Department, where it remained — unpaid — throughout 2017, the people said. However, it is unclear whether the Trump administration later paid the bill. The White House declined to comment. Trump, as recently as Sept. 30, asserted that his administration paid “nothing” to get American “hostages” out of North Korea. Warmbier, who was 21, fell into a coma for unknown reasons the night he was sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labor in March 2016 after pulling down a propaganda sign.

Acting defense secretary cleared of alleged bias

Avowed racist executed for 1998 dragging death

The Pentagon’s watchdog agency on Thursday cleared acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan of wrongdoing in connection with allegations that he had used his official position to favor his former employer, Boeing. The decision by the Defense Department inspector general appears to open the door for President Trump to nominate Shanahan to succeed Jim Mattis as defense secretary. The White House, however, has not said whether Trump intends to do so and he seems content to let him remain in limbo. Shanahan, who spent 31 years at Boeing, has been serving as the interim Pentagon chief since Jan. 1, after Mattis resigned in protest of Trump’s policies. (AP)

The 49-year-old Byrd was alive for at least 2 miles before his body was ripped to pieces June 7, 1998. Prosecutors said Byrd was targeted because he was black. King, 44, was openly racist and had offensive tattoos on his body, according to authorities. (AP)

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA Sri Lanka on Thursday lowered the death toll from the Easter suicide bombings by nearly onethird, to 253, as authorities hunted urgently for a least five more suspects and braced for the possibility of more attacks. In rolling back the number of dead from 359, a top Health Ministry official, Dr. Anil Jasinghe, said in a statement that the blasts had damaged some bodies beyond recognition, making accurate identification difficult. Religious leaders, meanwhile, canceled public prayer gatherings amid warnings of more

such attacks, along with retaliatory sectarian violence. In an unusually specific warning, the U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka said places of worship could be hit by extremists this weekend. At least 58 people have been arrested in connection with the wave of blasts at churches and luxury hotels Sunday, according to police, including the father of two of the alleged suicide bombers — one of Sri Lanka’s wealthiest spice traders. Authorities have said those involved in the massacres were well-educated and well-off financially. Sri Lankan authorities have blamed a local Muslim extremist group, National Towheed Jamaat. The Islamic State group also claimed responsibility, though officials are still investigating

the extent of any involvement. Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said militants who might have explosives remain on the loose in the country and “may go out for a suicide attack.” “We have rounded up a lot of suspects, but there are still active people on the run,” Wickremesinghe said in an interview with The Associated Press. Police appealed for information about an additional three women and two men suspected of involvement in the bombings. The bloodshed stirred fears of more violence in Sri Lanka, a country of 23 million people, about 70% of them Buddhist, with the rest Muslims, Hindus and Christians.

A campaign aide said Biden has privately contacted Hill to share “his regret for what she endured and his admiration for everything she has done to change the culture around sexual harassment in this country.” But The New York Times reported Thursday that Hill said in an interview she was “deeply unsatisfied” and unconvinced by his apology. Biden has also highlighted his role in authoring the Violence Against Women Act nearly three decades ago, legislation that is credited with reducing domestic violence nationwide. Still, his political liabilities are many. He would be the oldest person ever elected president — Trump was 70 in 2016 — even as his party embraces a new generation of diversity. Biden’s first media appearance is set for Friday morning on ABC’s “The View,” a move that might help him make an appeal to women whose support will be crucial to winning the primary. He also hired Symone Sanders to serve as a senior strategist, tapping a prominent African American who previously worked for

one of Biden’s chief competitors for the nomination, Bernie Sanders, in the 2016 presidential contest. As Biden neared his campaign launch, his challenges have come into greater focus. He struggled last month to respond to claims that he touched 2014 Nevada lieutenant governor nominee Lucy Flores’ shoulders and kissed the back of her head before a fall campaign event. A handful of other women have made similar claims, though none has alleged sexual misconduct. Biden, a former U.S. senator from Delaware, pledged in an online video to be “much more mindful” of respecting personal space but joked two days later that he “had permission” to hug a male union leader before addressing the group’s national conference.

POLITICS Declaring the “soul of this nation” at stake, former Vice President Joe Biden pushed into the crowded 2020 presidential contest Thursday and quickly sparked a fierce debate over the direction of the current Democratic Party. In an announcement video, Biden attacked President Trump, seizing on the Republican’s response to the deadly clash between white supremacists and counterprotesters in Charlottesville two years ago. That was the spur for him to launch a third presidential bid, Biden said, noting Trump’s comments that there were some “very fine people” on both sides of the violent encounter, which left one woman dead. “We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” Biden declared. “If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation — who we are. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen.” Yet Biden will get a chance to take on Trump only if he survives a Democratic field that now spans at least 20 contenders. As a 76-year-old white man with often-centrist views, Biden must now prove he’s not out of step with Democrats trying to push the party to the left. He’s been taking steps in recent weeks to clean up perceived

MILITARY A recent uptick in sightings of unidentified flying objects — or as the military calls them, “unexplained aerial phenomena” — prompted the Navy to draft formal procedures for pilots to document encounters, a corrective measure that former officials say is long overdue. Recently, unidentified aircraft have entered militarydesignated airspace as often as multiple times per month, said Joseph Gradisher, spokesman for office of the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare. Citing safety and security concerns, Gradisher vowed to investigate every report. Luis Elizondo, a former senior intelligence officer, said the new Navy guidelines formalized the reporting process, facilitating data-driven analysis while removing the stigma from talking about UFOs, calling it “the single greatest decision the Navy has made in decades.” In some cases, pilots claimed to observe small spherical objects flying in formation. Others say they’ve seen white, Tic Tac-shaped vehicles. Aside from drones, all engines rely on burning fuel to generate power, but these vehicles all had no air intake, no wind and no exhaust. “It’s very mysterious, and they still seem to exceed our aircraft in speed,” said Chris Mellon, an ex-deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence. He called it “radical technology.” DEANNA

Endorsements roll in Joe Biden racked up endorsements Thursday morning, becoming the first Democrat running for president with the backing of more than one U.S. senator. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., who previously served as chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said he had urged Biden to run and highlighted his potential electability when asked to assess African Americans’ feelings. “Black voters are saying the same thing that white Democrats are saying: We can’t afford to lose,” Richmond said. Barack Obama has so far declined to endorse Biden, however, and several former Obama aides are working for other candidates. Biden addressed Obama’s position Thursday. “I asked President Obama not to endorse,” Biden said. “Whoever wins this nomination should win it on their own merits.” (AP)

Police: 5-year-old beaten to death by his parents

Macron proposes tax cuts to appease protesters

Police believe a Crystal Lake couple who reported their 5-yearold son missing last week killed him days earlier by beating him, according to court documents released Thursday. The allegations include first-degree murder, aggravated battery and several other charges against Joann Cunningham, 36, and Andrew Freund Sr., 60, in the death of Andrew “AJ” Freund. An autopsy was scheduled for later Thursday to determine a cause of death and to confirm that the remains found a day earlier wrapped in plastic and buried in a grave a few miles from the family’s home are those of the child, whom officials said lived in deplorable conditions. (AP)

French President Emmanuel Macron announced tax cuts for middle-class workers and a more representative parliament Thursday to try to quell five months of yellow vest protests that have damaged his presidency. In a nationally televised speech, he also warned that France and Europe must better fight illegal migration. Macron also unveiled measures to boost pensions and help single parents and eased rules on referendums in response to the street protests that have convulsed the country for 23 weeks. He was going to make the announcement last week, but postponed it when the April 15 fire at Notre Dame broke out. (AP)

Ammonia leak sickens 37 BEACH PARK, ILL. A chemical leak that caused a toxic plume to hang for hours over a northern Chicago suburb Thursday sickened dozens of people, including seven who were in critical condition, officials said. Lake Forest Fire Chief Mike Gallo said a tractor was towing a pair of two-ton containers of anhydrous ammonia when the leak occurred around 4:30 a.m. The cause of the leak has not been released. The leak created a toxic cloud that lingered for several hours over Beach Park, about 40 miles north of downtown Chicago.

Authorities ordered residents within a 1-mile radius to stay inside and close their windows. Area schools were closed for the day. Eleven firefighters were among the 37 people who were hospitalized, and one of the injured firefighters was among the seven in critical but stable condition, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. Three law enforcement officers were in good condition and several others were serious but stable, sheriff’s spokesman Christopher Covelli said. Authorities said most of those

injured suffered breathing problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, anhydrous ammonia is a colorless gas that can cause breathing difficulties, burns and blisters and is fatal if breathed in high concentrations. Farmers use it to add nitrogen to soil. The leak was contained within a few hours and the leaking tank was empty, authorities said, adding that they were waiting for the chemical plume to dissipate. The order to remain indoors was lifted by late morning, Covelli said. (AP)

WEEKEND | 04.26.2019 | EXPRESS | 11

The Capitals and their fellow division winners — the Flames, Lightning and Predators — were all ousted in the first round.

THOMAS BOSWELL | THE WASHINGTON POST

The silver lining: No loss could dim the glow of 2018 Washington always will have Alex Ovechkin, loopy with happiness, diving into that fountain in his droopy drawers. D.C. will always keep its memories of the Save by Braden Holtby in the Stanley Cup finals against Vegas, and T.J. Oshie chugging a brew through his jersey. Most of all, every Capitals fan, from the newest to the “Suffering Since 1974” crowd, will have those massive, citywide bonding moments, gazing last June at a mall jammed into the distance with rejoicing fans, with the Stanley Cup shining. What Washington will not have is back-to-back titles. That dream is dead after a crushing — and far too Old

Caps — 4-3, double-overtime loss in Game 7 to the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the playoffs Wednesday night at roaring, then utterly despondent Capital One Arena. In a season that seemed promising but was never quite as energized, focused or desperate-when-needed as the previous glorious one, the patient finally flatlined at just past 11:30 p.m. Rock the Red time. The Caps were not supposed to be gotten rid of — at all — by the Hurricanes, a franchise that had not been to the playoffs in a decade, although the Caps had only five more points in the regular season. The dour present, with the Caps downcast, their elbows on the bench half-wall as the Hurricanes celebrated, does not erase, or even dim,

a glorious recent past. But instead of a doubt-free offseason of celebration, the Caps will face months of hard questioning, from within and outside. “That one’s going to take some time to go through — double overtime in Game 7,” coach Todd Reirden said. “It’ll take time to figure out different things we could have done.” For months, the Caps will be asked how their franchise record in Game 7s could drop to 5-12 and their mark in Game 7s at home in the Ovechkin era to 2-6. How could a team with the Caps’ pedigree lose to a team with so little experience? Could Barry Trotz have done better? That’s the big, ugly question, covered with warts. The Caps’ title-winning coach of last season — the veteran leader who finally led the Caps past their stunning

history of failure a year ago — will lead his Islanders to face the Hurricanes in the second round, not the Caps. From the moment owner Ted Leonsis made it clear that he wouldn’t open the vault to pay Trotz a market-value contract as a reward for the Caps’ first title in their 44 years, my stomach’s official position was, “Bad karma.” The Capitals joined their fellow division winners — the Lightning, Flames and the Predators — as first-round victims in this NHL spring of surprises. On F Street, there’s bitter disappointment after a postseason that few thought would end in just one round. In the Caps’ dressing room, Holtby answered questions in his usual low, philosophical voice. When he was finished, it turned out that two 20-something fans had gotten into the press scrum around the goalie. “Shake it off, champ!” the pair started calling as they applauded. A stunned Caps executive took about a second to yell, “Security!” And they were thrown out. Just like the Caps. Follow Thomas Boswell on Twitter @ThomasBoswellWP

NATIONALS When Washington signed Trevor Rosenthal to a one-year, $7 million contract in October, the idea was that he would be the Nationals’ setup man. Maybe, the thinking went, he could even spell All-Star closer Sean Doolittle for the occasional save opportunity. But it hinged on how Rosenthal pitched after a year off recovering from Tommy John surgery.

When the regular season began, it took the 29-year-old four appearances and 47 pitches just to record an out. By then, he had allowed seven earned runs. “We got to see what he can do and at this point he just doesn’t look right, right now,” manager Dave Martinez said after Rosenthal gave up three earned runs in a 9-5 loss at Colorado on Wednesday. Rosenthal’s struggles leave his manager only six arms to choose from in high-leverage spots. Martinez has used Doolittle, who has a lengthy injury history and

has never made more than 70 appearances, in 11 of the first 23 games. Wander Suero, Justin Miller and Kyle Barraclough have been overtaxed, too. Rosenthal acknowledged that more frequent outings could help him find a rhythm. But, at the same time, he knows the results haven’t justified trust. A team carries too few relievers for one to be unusable. A season is too short to force something that won’t work. Eventually, maybe soon, the Nationals’ front office will have to try something else.

The Avengers wait around to watch the post-credits scene.

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY | THE REELIST

‘Endgame’ on! Let’s hear it for the Avengers. Loudly. One day I will win the lottery and I will buy a movie theater. In this Kristenplex, there will be certain rules. If you check your phone at the door, you will get a $5 concession credit. If you elect to bring your phone into the show — let’s say you’re waiting on a kidney transplant — and you take it out at any point instead of running to the lobby, your seat will deliver a mild electric shock. Loud chewers are banned for life. You are allowed three whispered comments to the friend next to you; after the third you must remain silent or you will be ejected from the theater. Ideally via a fighter jet-style ejection seat, though I admit that would be yet another distraction for the other patrons. In my theater, silence

and concentration will be the rule, and that rule will be enforced with the iron fist of a crazed dictator. I would make an exception for “Avengers: Endgame.” This is the MCU movie that concludes the current arc, “The Infinity Saga,” which began with “Iron Man” in 2008. That’s why some fans suspect that a few beloved characters may not be around for whatever comes next. Here is all I’ll say about the plot: Fifty percent of the universe got Thanos-ed at the end of last year’s “Avengers: Infinity War.” Now the Avengers who remain — many of whom have kicky new hairdos — are trying to fix that. “Endgame” is captivating on an emotional level — after all, we’ve been with some of these characters for over a decade. We’ve watched an Asgardian

prince come into the power he was never quite sure should be his, an inter-terrestrial team of weirdos form a family that includes a talking tree, and a scrappy kid from Brooklyn give his life for the country, only to be brought back to do it again and again and again without complaint. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo (who, as they showed with “Infinity War” and their other Marvel movies, are extremely talented when it comes to balancing a zillion storylines) ably bring the audience into a complex story built on complicated feelings. “Endgame” also succeeds in getting its viewers whipped up. Throughout the film I heard gasps, sniffles, laughs, applause and a couple of well-timed “YEAH!”s. I usually wish for a level of silence bordering on

monastic, but I was fine with all this. In fact, I loved it. In fact, I was gasping and sniffling and laughing and applauding right along. This is a movie that demands that sort of release. The Avengers are our buddies. They’re our heroes. They’re our team — and you can’t be silent when your team is battling it out on the field. Every movie requires some sort of investment from its audience. Some movies make that connection through cheap tricks in the script or the score. Some reach out quietly, drawing viewers in. When a film genuinely connects with its audience, it rewards them with an emotional experience — sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly. “Endgame” is a movie that encourages and rewards vocal enthusiasm; it would be no fun in a silent theater. For the three-hour “Endgame,” you still need to leave your phone in your pocket and avoid conversing with your neighbor (you will also need to pass on the Coke unless you are wearing Depends). But I give you permission to cheer on the team we’ve come to love. In fact, I demand that you do.

DISNEY/MARVEL STUDIOS

Where does the MCU go from here? “Avengers: Endgame” may represent a culmination of sorts, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe just keeps expanding. Here’s a look at what’s next. THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

Spider-Man returns Peter Parker may have been done and dusted in “Infinity War,” but Tom Holland’s webslinger looks just fine in the trailer for “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” The 23rd MCU installment comes out July 5.

Disney+ joins the fold Disney’s streaming service, set to launch this fall, will feature three limited series about MCU favorites: “Loki,” “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” and “WandaVision.” A show focused on Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye reportedly is in the works, as well.

More movies coming Marvel reportedly is moving forward with a Black Widow solo film and follow-ups to “Black Panther,” “Doctor Strange” and “Guardians of the Galaxy,” plus at least two movies featuring new characters: “The Eternals” and “Shang-Chi.”

‘Avengers: Endgame’ marks the conclusion of an unprecedented 22-movie saga

‘Stockholm’ R, 92 min.

DISNEY/MARVEL STUDIOS

Written and directed by Robert Budreau, “Stockholm” is billed as the “absurd but true” story of the 1973 crime that introduced the world to Stockholm syndrome, the phenomenon in which a captive forms a bond with his or her captor. The story centers on an attempted heist, hatched by a sympathetic criminal (Ethan Hawke) who sings pop songs during the siege. Despite flashes of violence, the movie plays like a comedy. For the most part, Budreau pulls off an entertaining dramatization, thanks largely to his charismatic lead. PAT PADUA (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

The Avengers reach the end of their nearly decade-long journey together with the crossover event “Endgame.”

sledgehammer to that old “don’t leave money on the table” maxim. While the MCU will continue — the executives say they have the next five years mapped out, even if the full plans haven’t been revealed publicly — “Endgame” has been billed as the culmination of everything audiences have seen to this point. “[We’re] bringing to a conclusion the first three phases, the first 22 films in the MCU, so that everything thereafter is a new start,” Feige says. To achieve that ending, the “Avengers” team shot “Infinity

War” and “Endgame” back to back. “This went far beyond anything we’d ever done before,” Anthony Russo says. “There’s a reason why movies aren’t made this way normally.” The long, grueling shoot left plenty of time for reflection, about where these actors started and how they’ve grown. Scarlett Johansson noted that she’d been developing Black Widow for 10 years, and is excited that her character has evolved from a “sexy secretary” type to a more fully realized woman.

“The whole shoot felt pretty nostalgic,” adds Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor. “We were constantly talking about when it all started to how we pulled this off, and what we were a part of.” There was no shortage of onset emotion from the actors, many of whom have now been working together for almost a decade or more. “I was pretty teary-eyed,” says Chris Evans, who plays Captain America. “This is the culmination of a really long endeavor. It kind of wraps up the journey.” LINDSEY BAHR (AP)

BOX OFFICE HAUL

The global box office take for “Avengers: Endgame” on Wednesday after the film opened overseas, setting a single day record. Experts estimate the Marvel blockbuster will also break opening weekend records, with the movie projected to bring in $260 million to $300 million domestically and between $800 million and $1 billion globally. Last year’s “Avengers: Infinity War” holds those records, having debuted with $257.7 million domestically and $640.5 million worldwide.

IFC FILMS

FILM About five years ago, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige found himself on a retreat in Palm Springs, Fla., plotting the future for the wild, experimental “cinematic universe” that he helped start in 2008 with “Iron Man.” Feige wanted to do something that they hadn’t done. He wanted an ending. “[Ending] is not a scary word,” Feige says. “It’s a necessary word.” After a quick pitch to star Robert Downey Jr., Feige, directors Anthony and Joe Russo and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely started plotting a way to bring this saga to a close. Anyone who saw last year’s crossover event blockbuster “Avengers: Infinity War” knows they weren’t kidding around. The villain Thanos dissolved half of all life in an event known as “the snap” that’s inspired tears, memes and more fan theories than the internet can hold. “I think the only reason we stuck around is because they were committed to an ending and we’re deconstructionists,” Joe Russo says. “We like to smash it and look at how you can put the pieces back together.” Endings are a rarity in the franchise movie-making business, especially when a property’s popularity has only multiplied — as the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies have. But Marvel Studios is taking a

Judi Dench is the one marquee name associated with “Red Joan.” But really, who needs more than her? Loosely based on the life of English spy Melita Norwood, the film opens with the 2000 arrest of Dench’s fictionalized Joan Stanley. Largely told in flashbacks, “Red Joan” is ostensibly a spy drama. But at heart, it’s more like an antiwar film. As good as Dench is, the actress is little more than the framing device for this polished and morally provocative — yet hardly pulsepounding — tale.

The week’s best movie previews

‘Gemini Man’

‘Men in Black: International’

EXPECTED RELEASE: Oct. 11

EXPECTED RELEASE: June 14

SUMMARY: What’s better than Will Smith? TWO Will Smiths! The former Fresh Prince plays both an assassin and his much younger clone; each wants to kill the other. Which means killing themselves? Or possibly not? It’s confusing. Regardless, looking at the young-ified Smith is a pretty unnerving experience. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: Don’t worry! Thor and Valkyrie are back together as Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson reunite as alien-fighting agents. The setup is the same as the other “Men in Black” movies except for the fact that it’s now set in London. So presumably all the aliens are polite, enjoy tea and are obsessed with when Meghan Markle will give birth. K.P.K.

@DIVAFEMINIST, criticizing the new dress code for parents at Houston’s James Madison High School that forbids them from entering the building if they are wearing leggings, hair rollers, satin bonnets or low-cut clothing. The rule sparked immediate backlash, as satin bonnets are worn by black women to protect their hair. Others called the code sexist, as only women’s clothing was listed. The dress code began a few days after police were called about a mother who showed up in a headscarf and T-shirt dress.

“ ‘Skyfallen and can’t get up.’ ” @OGORLANDOJONES, suggesting a title for the 25th James Bond

movie, once again starring Daniel Craig. #RetiredBond started trending on Twitter on Thursday after producers revealed that the currently untitled movie would start with Craig’s superspy spending his retirement in Jamaica. The news led Bond fans to tweak the titles of previous Bond films for an out-of-service 007. Other clever titles included “Bingo Royale,” “A View to a Will” and “From Russia with ... wait, what did I come upstairs for again?”

Sudoku

DIFFICULT

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You must be willing to work with those around you today. Beware of any attempt to take charge without consensus; you can be a steady influence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may realize today that you’ve recently interpreted things backward. But you’ll have time to set everything straight by day’s end. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you will, and getting it done takes more than the mere desire to do so. You must get to work. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) An unexpected opportunity comes your way before the day is out. You may not recognize that someone is quite jealous of you right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Agreement comes from knowing what is being spoken of, inside and out. Until that happens, you’re not likely to make a lot of progress.

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your ability to see both sides of an issue comes in very handy today — though this doesn’t guarantee you’ll be on the winning side in the end. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can assemble a great team, but you still might find yourself at a disadvantage simply because you joined the contest a little late.

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may feel that what is coming your way is unstoppable, but that is hardly true. You must dig, but you’ll find what you need deep within.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may realize your influence is not as strong as you had thought. Much can be done to correct this. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can call the shots for a while today, but there will come a time when you will want to hand over control to someone with more experience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may not know what’s going on all around you at every moment, but your instincts are keen, and you’ll be able to stop an imminent threat.

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.

Ariana puts too much faith in the internet

So Taylor just watched cat videos, right? Taylor Swift said she prepared for her role as Bombalurina in the upcoming movie adaptation of the musical “Cats” by attending “cat school.” “I went to cat school, which they have on set readily available for us, [and] learned how to be as much like a cat as I possibly could,” Swift told Time. “Cats are just really cool — they’re really great, they’re very dignified.”

Ariana Grande launched an attack on bloggers Wednesday in a series of since-deleted tweets. The pop star’s frustration came after Justin Bieber drew criticism for his brief appearance during Grande’s set Sunday at Coachella. Bieber took to Twitter first to fire back at TV personality Morgan Stewart, who had accused him of lip-syncing, explaining, “I sang to backtrack like most cameos do.” Grande then weighed in, tweeting: “One day everybody who works at all them blogs will realize how unfulfilled they are and purposeless what they’re doing is and hopefully shift their focus elsewhere. … I can’t wait for them to feel lit inside.” (EXPRESS)
