TRUMP, PUTIN TO HOLD MEETING NEXT WEEK

1

President Donald Trump will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week at a summit in Germany that brings two world leaders whose political fortunes have become intertwined face-to-face for the first time. Both the Kremlin and the White House announced on Thursday that the pair will meet on the sidelines of the July 7-8 summit of G20 nations in Hamburg. U.S. National Security

Adviser H.R. McMaster told reporters that no agenda had yet been set for the meeting, which is fraught with difficulties for Trump.

Allegations that Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election last year and colluded with the Republican’s campaign have overshadowed the businessman’s unexpected victory and dogged his first five months in office.

TRAVEL BAN BARS MNUCHIN SAYS US GRANDPARENTS, FIANCÉS IS SUPPORTIVE OF IMF

2

Grandparents, grandchildren and fiancés of people in the United States will be barred from getting U.S. visas under President Donald Trump’s temporary travel ban against citizens of six Muslim-majority countries taking effect on Thursday, U.S. officials said. The administration also narrowly interpreted which refugees will be allowed into the country, saying that links

with refugee resettlement agencies would not be enough to win them admittance, likely sharply limiting the number of refugees allowed entry in coming months. The Supreme Court exempted travelers and refugees with a “bona fide relationship” with a person or entity in the United States from the ban, which Trump signed in March and which opponents have said is discriminatory.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday that the United States was supportive of the International Monetary Fund’s mission, although it always wanted to make sure taxpayer funds were spent wisely.

“We’re supportive of the IMF, although we’ll look at our contributions to the IMF like we look at all contributions: very carefully and making sure we’re spending

the taxpayers money properly,” Mnuchin told reporters at the White House.

APPLE’S IPHONE TURNS 10, BUMPY START FORGOTTEN

5

Apple’s iPhone turns 10 this week, evoking memories of a rocky start for the device that ended up doing most to start the smartphone revolution and stirring interest in where it will go from here. Apple has sold more than 1 billion iPhones since June 29, 2007, but the first iPhone, which launched without an App Store and was restricted to the AT&T Inc. network, was limited compared to today’s version.

After sluggish initial sales, Apple

slashed the price to spur holiday sales that year. “The business model for year one of the iPhone was a disaster,” Tony Fadell, one of the Apple developers of the device, told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday. “We pivoted and figured it out in year two.”

The very concept of the iPhone came as a surprise to some of Apple’s suppliers a decade ago, even though Apple, led by CEO Steve Jobs, had already expanded beyond computers with the iPod.

TRUMP FUNDRAISER Trump hosts ethically questionable re-election fundraiser President Donald Trump raised more eyebrows than a plastic surgeon on Wednesday, hosting a D.C. fundraiser for his reelection which cost five figures a plate, took place at a Trump hotel from which he is supposed to be recused financially, and during which he made racist remarks from the dais.

The fundraiser was held at the Trump hotel in Washing-

ton’s Old Post Office, which is leased to the Trump organization by a government agency. It cost $35,000 a plate.

After taking the podium to address the assembled donors, Trump tried out different pronunciations of Qatar, before saying it didn’t matter because “you can’t help terrorists,” a CNN producer reported.

The president had recently landed in hot water for excoriating Qatar, before advisers reminded (or notified) him that

the United States has a military airbase there.

As of last week, Trump has visited his for-profit properties 37 times as president.

Ethics experts have objected, telling Associated Press that the visits “double as a form of advertising that inappropriately enriches him.”

Ahead of the dinner, the nonpartisan watchdog group American Oversight sued the General Services Administration (the government

agency that leases the hotel to the Trump Organization) to release communications between the Trump Organization and managers of the taxpayerowned hotel.

“President Trump’s fundraiser isn’t just raising funds for his campaign, it’s putting money into his personal pocketbook,” said Austin Evers, American Oversight’s executive director and a State Department lawyer during the Obama administration. MICHAEL MARTIN

SARAH SMILES …

BUT NOT LATELY Sarah is not smiling anymore. At least not so much. Remember when Sarah Huckabee Sanders started filling in for White House press secretary Sean Spicer? She was all grins and flashing eyes as she jested her way through the torrent of questions from the D.C. press corps. You could almost hear her internal dialogue: This is easy!

Now the party is over. Standing at the podium during her most recent on-camera briefing, the deputy press secretary kept her head down much of the time, scowling and snapping each time someone brought up the president’s inexplicably mean tweet attack on two MSNBC hosts. Then she heaved out talking points as thin as the paper on which they were written: “I think that the president is pushing back against people who attack him day after day … when the president gets hit, he’s going to hit back harder.” Yada yada yada.

To be clear: She was defending the Leader of the Free World for ridiculing a pair of talk show hosts in shockingly coarse terms — mocking their looks, their intelligence and their mental stability.

I’ll grant that those TV personalities, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, have said a lot of tough things about him in recent weeks.

The White House clearly considers some of their statements unfair, unfounded and below the belt.

But President Trump’s two-thumbed

TOM FOREMAN Opinion CNN’s Tom Foreman is the author of the book “My Year of Running Dangerously.”

counterattack was so crude that it drew howls from members of his own party for being beneath the dignity of the office. And President Lyndon Johnson used to conduct policy talks while he sat on the toilet, so it’s not like the dignity bar is crazy high.

You have to wonder if Huckabee Sanders’ own dignity crumbled a bit when, toward the end of the presser, she was asked, “Are you going to tell your kids this behavior is OK?” She brought up Jesus, saying, “That’s where I tell my kids to look.” She also said, “The American people elected a fighter — they knew what they were getting when they voted for Donald Trump.”

I’m not so sure. And I wonder if Sarah knew what she was getting into when she agreed to this job. Her frowns say maybe not.

Cuomo: MTA in ‘state of emergency’ The governor said the declaration would make it easier to channel $1 billion in funding to the MTA. NIKKI M. MASCALI @MetroNewYork

nikki.mascali@metro.us

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday declared that the MTA’s escalating dysfunction and accidents have reached the level of an emergency.

Serious accidents and power outages have plagued the MTA’s aged city infrastructure in recent months, and Tuesday’s A train derailment is possibly the most extreme example. “We literally had a train come off the tracks.

It’s the perfect metaphor for the dysfunction of the entire system,� Cuomo said, adding that the subway is the “most prob-

lematic component of the MTA system.�

Cuomo cited decades of “underinvestment, deferred maintenance and deferred modernization� as well as a surge in ridership as the root of the subway’s issues.

Declaring a state of emergency for the MTA “will allow us to expedite many of the normal government processes,�

Cuomo said. “It will no longer be a tortured exercise to do business with the MTA.�

Cuomo’s executive order will provide an extra $1 billion to the MTA Capital Plan to accelerate repair work and buy equipment and materials to replace infrastructure that is more than a century old.

The governor also called for an investigation into Con Edison’s equipment throughout the city’s transit system and appointed the Public Service Commission to oversee it.

Gov. Cuomo has faced criticism over the state of the NYC subway.

“Identify the equipment, identify the responsibility, identify the state of repair and get that done in 90 days,� Cuomo said. “If there’s a power outage and if Con Ed is responsible, they are going to be fined heavily for the delays that they’ve been causing New Yorkers.�

Ironically, as Cuomo was making his declaration, hundreds of Long Island Rail Road passengers were stranded on a train that stalled just as it

today, which is just a long-standing bureaucracy that has evolved over time,� said Cuomo, who also tasked Lhota with a review of the MTA’s capital plan, cars and equipment within the next 60 days. Cuomo’s plan received a positive response from the Riders Alliance, with Executive Director John Raskin saying in a statement that the governor “has finally taken responsibility for fixing a broken system, and riders will appreciate his recognition that transit is in a state of emergency.�

However, more details are needed, Raskin said. “A billion dollars is a start, but where will it come from, and is it new money? When and where will the state find the other billions that are needed to truly address the problem? How does a state of emergency fit into a comprehensive plan to fix public transit?

Most importantly, when

headed into an East River tunnel leading to Penn Station, a transit hub the governor said has “chronic problems.�

The governor also called for new MTA Chairman Joe Lhota, who was previously the agency’s CEO and chairman, to create a reorganization plan for the MTA within the next 30 days. “Design an organization that performs the function rather than the organization that exists

will riders begin to see improvements in their day-to-day commutes? “The governor has stopped ignoring the problem, which is a vital first step. Now he needs to produce a credible plan to fix the subway and to put together the billions of dollars we will need to make it happen,� Raskin said in the statement.

Not long after Cuomo’s declaration, Eric Phillips, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s press secretary, tweeted a photo of the mayor smiling as he rode a 2 train from Madison Square Garden to City Hall.

When asked his thoughts on the state of emergency, the mayor’s office told Metro via email that “New Yorkers deserve a transit system that works. We are heartened to see these new resources and focus to reverse the deteriorating state of our subways. We look forward to the plans that the new MTA leadership is developing.�

Passenger on derailed A train to sue MTA A woman who was on the A train that derailed Tuesday morning is going to sue the MTA, her legal team said.

Hamilton Heights resident Sheena Tucker is seeking $5 million from the MTA and the NYC Transit Authority, NBC4 reported, citing a notice of claim filed Wednesday by the Rubenstein & Rynecki law firm.

The firm alleges that Tucker suffered physical and psychological injuries and emotional trauma after the derailment, which injured at least 34 passengers.

MTA officials said the A train derailment was caused by a piece of rail that was improperly stored on the track near 125th Street.

Two maintenance supervisors were suspended over the incident on Wednesday.

Sen. Sanders says the move could be politically motivated.

ERIN TIERNAN @ErinTiernan

erin.tiernan@metro.us

The FBI is investigating Bernie Sanders’ wife on fraud charges and the one-time presidential candidate thinks the agency’s motives are political.

Sanders, who is one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent politicians, has not ruled out a 2020 presidential bid — though he’ll be 79 on Inauguration Day in 2021.

Jane Sanders has hired a lawyer for an FBI probe into whether she made fraudulent claims and promises while trying to secure a $10 million loan for a real estate deal for Burlington College, a now-defunct college she was president of from 2004 to 2011, The Hill reported. The college closed about a year ago due to debt taken on during Jane Sanders’ tenure.

A loan application signed by Jane Sanders stated the college was ready to take in millions in pledged donations should the loan go through, many of those donations never materialized, CNN reported.

Sanders defended his wife Tuesday in an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett and suggested the timing of the investigation was politically motivated.

“My wife is about the

most honest person I know,” Sanders said.

Sanders said the FBI probe was instigated by former Vermont Republican Party Vice Chairman Brady Toensing.

“When she came to that college it was failing financially and academically. When she left it, it was in better shape than it had ever been,” Sanders said. Five years later, just at the moment — coincidentally, no doubt — when I am a candidate for president of the United States … [Toensing] launched this investigation.”

Toensing told CNN on Sunday that his hope “is for a fair, full and impartial investigation.”

Sanders called the investigation “pathetic.”

“All that I will tell you now is it’s a sad state of affairs in America when not only we have politicians being destroyed … but when you go after people’s wives. That’s pretty pathetic.”

Colin Reed, the executive director of the GOP opposition research super PAC America Rising, told The Hill these allegations could spell bad news for a future Sanders candidacy during election season.

Trust is a huge issue, especially for a presidential candidate,” Reed said.

“The longer these narratives have to bake in with the electorate, the more effective they are when voters go to vote.

We learned that from Secretary Clinton — we were able to get a fouryear head start on the research for her.”

When she came to that college it was failing financially and academically. When she left it, it was in better shape than it had ever been.”

These are the worst airlines for Fourth of July holiday travel

NEWS

AVIATION Officials: Airlines risk fines, losing US access for failure to follow new security rules Airlines that do not comply with a new U.S. directive for enhanced security measures on inbound international flights could have their certificates to operate flights to the country revoked, a high-ranking U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official said on Thursday.

The official confirmed that the new security requirements, announced on Wednesday

by DHS Secretary John Kelly, will not be funded by the U.S. government, leaving the costs to comply up to the airlines, airports and their countries of origin.

Airlines that do not follow new DHS rules could be fined, face restricted access to U.S. airspace or have their clearance to operate flights to the country withdrawn altogether, the official said.

The new security measures were designed to prevent

widening a limited in-cabin ban on laptops and other large electronics. U.S. and European airlines had feared an expansion of the ban could cause major logistical problems and deter travel.

The United States in March banned laptops on flights to the United States originating at 10 airports in eight countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Turkey, to address fears that bombs could be concealed in electronic devices.

The official on Thursday said the new security directive was not in response to a specific threat, but stemmed from the same intelligence cited for the electronics ban.

The new rule gives airlines operating from countries under the electronics ban a chance to have the restriction lifted if they satisfy the DHS requirements, but airlines that fail to meet the U.S. mandate could still face a ban on in-cabin electronics as well as other sanctions. REUTERS

This Fourth of July, more than 44 million people are expected to travel to visit friends and family.

According to Travel and Leisure, 2017 will be the most traveled Fourth of July weekend ever.

Earlier this week, travel site Reward Expert released their 2017 Independence Day Air Travel Forecast, which helps determine the best route to your Fourth of July destination.

Reward Expert analyzed five years of flight data from the Department of Transportation to help travelers choose the airline and airport with the fewest delays.

According to their report, they’ve examined flight data from the top 10 domestic airlines flying out of the 45 busiest airports in the country.

According to their data, the worst days for flying during the Fourth of July holiday are June 30 and July 1. The busiest days for traveling before holidays are Friday and Saturday, before the

holiday. You are likely to see the most cancellations and delays. Also expect ticket prices to jump on those days.

According to the report, the best day to travel is on Tuesday, July 4.

Their data shows travel on the day of the holiday has fewer delays than any of the days just before it. If you can catch a flight early July 4, you just might be able to travel without lines.

If you’re planning a short trip, Thursday, July 6, is the best time to fly for your return trip.

According to the report, United Airlines is the worst airline to travel with during the Fourth of July holiday, followed by Jet Blue, Southwest and Frontier.

Hawaiian Airlines was ranked the best during the previous holidays. Data showed that its flights were on time 94.7 percent of the time, followed by Alaska Airlines and Delta.

If you have the option of choosing which airport to fly out of for your Fourth of July getaway, you may want to avoid Hartsfield-Jackson, O’Hare International, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver and Los Angeles. The data showed that those airports are the busiest during the July Fourth holiday.

Need for speed: The best car drivers in the movies

wknd Ansel Elgort (with Lily James) stars in “Baby Driver.” TRISTAR PICTURES

In Edgar Wright’s “Baby Driver,” Ansel Elgort sure knows how to drive a car. He plays Baby, a getaway driver, a veteran despite being in his early 20s.

Baby’s shtick is something else: He likes to listen to music as he speeds away from the fuzz. That means The Damned, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, deep-cut Blur blaring over hairpin turns and near-misses. Elgort’s a hell of a movie driver — one of the best of the best, right up at the top with any of these legendary cinematic speed freaks. MATT PRIGGE GETTY IMAGES

GETTY IMAGES

Steve McQueen, “Bullitt” (1968)

Unknown, “Duel” (1971)

The movie car chase as we know it — fast, reckless, dangerous — is a relatively recent phenomenon, only about 50 years old. Among the first real speeders is buried in the middle of a movie that up to that point had been a subdued, realistic cop picture. Steve McQueen is a cucumber-cool lieutenant out for the kingpin who had a key witness in a organized crime trial whacked. When our hero spots the hit man who done it, they speed through San Francisco, over its epic hills, through its seaside dirt roads, all going at breakneck speed.

WARNER BROS.

Burt Reynolds, “Smokey and the Bandit” (1977) As the ’70s waned, we suddenly got lots of movies about redneck racers.

There were films about CB radioaddicted truckers (“Breaker Breaker,” with Chuck Norris) and convoys (“Convoy,” directed by Sam Peckinpah). And then there was “Smokey and the Bandit.” Burt Reynolds at his Burt Reynoldsiest plays a trucker hired to transport bootleg Coors east of the Mississippi, back when it was illegal to do so. The movie grossed almost as much as “Star Wars.”

GETTY IMAGES

Gene Hackman, “The French Connection” (1971) Three years after “Bullitt,” another cop movie one-upped it. While investigating a French-run drug ring, Gene Hackman’s maverick “Popeye” Doyle gives chase to one of their hit men, who jumps on the elevated D-train in Brooklyn. Doyle commandeers a rickety car, speeding under the El tracks, trying (and sometimes failing) to avoid trash cans and passers-by, sweating like a madman all the while. The “Bullitt” chase is smooth and precise and clean; the one in “The French Connection” is like a five-minute panic attack.

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

Ryan O’Neal, “The Driver” (1978) Ryan O’Neal is a limited actor, but use him right and you strike gold. He’s a charmer in Peter Bogdanovich’s “Paper Moon”; he’s an ideal cad in Stanley Kubrick’s “Barry Lyndon.” And he’s basically a living mannequin in Walter Hill’s getaway driver thriller, which is so minimalist O’Neal is credited only as “The Driver.” Ryan Gosling in “Drive” would have made this list, but he was basically just doing an O’Neal impersonation, only with a better jacket.

In Steven Spielberg’s TV movie, we never see who’s driving a tanker truck that’s mysteriously trailing a stressed businessman (Dennis Weaver) driving through the California desert. But whoever it is is quite insistent. Sometimes the truck tailgates him; other times it tries to drive him off the road. It was the movie that made studio execs think this Spielberg kid had something.

And it’s basically a dry run for “Jaws,” only on the road and with a truck in lieu of a shark.

UNIVERSAL

Barry Newman, “Vanishing Point” (1971) The ’70s are a goldmine for trashy, clangy, fastmoving speed freak pictures, from the original “Gone in 60 Seconds” through “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry” through “Race with the Devil,” in which Peter Fonda and Warren Oates try to outrun Satanists. The king of driving, though, was Barry Newman. A salty, rough piece of work, he’s not a looker like Peter Fonda.

But man, can he drive. “Vanishing Point” is Newman’s masterpiece: a vaguely existentialist cross-country jaunt in which he tries to deliver a 1970 Dodge Challenger to a dealer in record time and only winds up losing his mind.

MGM

Dan Aykroyd, “The Blues Brothers” (1980)

Charlize Theron, “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015)

He thinks he can play the blues; he makes vodka that comes in fauxcrystal skulls; he actually really does believe in ghosts. But one thing no one can take away from Dan Aykroyd is this: He can really drive. He’s the one behind the wheel in the Blues Brothers’ first movie, leading to some of the largest and most absurd pileups in movie history.

“Where is Mel Gibson as ‘Mad’ Max Rockatansky?” you might have asked while reading this list. Well, guess what? Even the original “Mad Max” has nothing on Charlize Theron’s Furiosa. For one thing, she does a lot more driving than Gibson ever did.

She spends nearly the entire movie behind a monster truck speeding through the desert, fleeing oppressive men. And when her mechanical arm gives out, she even does it with one hand. All hail Furiosa!

GETTY IMAGES

Robert De Niro, “Ronin” (1998) John Frankenheimer made one of the best car fetishist movies: 1966’s “Grand Prix.” Over two decades later, he banged out three or four of the greatest car chases in movie history. Robert De Niro plays the most focused of a gang of thieves, whose robberies tend to end with high-end pursuits.

‘The Little Hours’ lets its cast shine A raunchy medieval comedy full of 21stcentury humor.

Plaza does some of her funniest, angriest work with Franco’s Masseto.

When we talked to Alison Brie, she described “The Little Hours,” premiering on June 30, pretty succinctly. “Raunchy medieval nun comedy?” Turns out she’s right.

“The Little Hours” is a film that sees a handful of your comedy faves — Brie joins Aubrey Plaza, Dave Franco and Molly Shannon among others — and drops them into beautiful scenic Italy. Here’s the thing, though. They’re in the 14th century, and the women? Well, they’re nuns. Nuns with filthy, 21st-century mouths.

A loose adaptation of two stories from Giovanni Boccaccio’s “The Decameron,” “The Little Hours” follows a number of hijinks spurred from the desperation of sexual

frustration, and whatever drugs, booze and revelry these characters can get their hands on.

Franco plays Massetto, a servant in the castle of Lord Bruno (Nick Offerman), who is on the run after having an affair with

the lord’s wife. Father Tommasso (John C. Reilly) has a wine-addled run-in with Masseto and asks him to work as a gardener at the monastery.

Predicting that sexually pent-up nuns Fernanda (Plaza), Alessandra

(Brie) and Genevra (Kate Micucci) will go bananas at the site of the very taut Massetto, the Father tells him to pretend to be a deaf mute. It goes as well as expected.

It’s fun and it’s funny, and surprisingly sexy —

see again, Franco’s very taut body. The only problem with the film is that it is, at times, tonally inconsistent, which Brie copped to. “You’re sort of never sure what you’re gonna get,” she said. But the actress notes that this isn’t

a bad thing. “[There’s] actual passion and tension.

And it’s kind of weird! It maybe makes people uncomfortable, and that, to me, is exciting.”

It’s exciting for the audience too to watch a film that combines several genres without foregoing its comic aspirations.

Besides, sometimes all you really need is Aubrey Plaza in a nun’s habit, screaming obscenities to a man who meekly glances her way, innocently commenting on how beautiful the morning is.

Steve Carell pulls double duty as Gru and his brother Dru in “Despicable Me 3.”

ILLUMINATION AND UNIVERSAL PICTURES

“Despicable Me 3” Director: Pierre Coffin, Kyle Balda Stars: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig Rating: PG It had to happen eventually.

The first “Despicable Me” was a breath of fresh air — a loopy absurd-a-thon with guns that fired octopi and shrunken elephants and, of course, those babbling yellow whatzits known as Minions. It seemed hard to repeat its magic formula, but the sequel heroically did just that. Even the Minions spin-off movie was fine, not because it was good but for the simple fact that Minions are mysteriously never not delightful.

The threequel is another matter. It’s fine. But it’s depressing that it’s only fine, because it

shows a once-inspired series is finally low on gas. The hook this time is reformed supervillain Gru (Steve Carell) learns he has a brother. He’s Dru (Carell, too) and he’s a trust fund failure, devastated that he never got into the family business of stealing giant objects, like pyramids or the Eiffel Tower. Gru wouldn’t mind backsliding, knowing full well that would ruin his current domesticated semiparadise.

Dru is mildly funny. He has the same unplaceable Eastern European accent as Gru, but he also has hair — longish blonde locks he likes to head-flip a la Farrah Fawcett — and no skill with thievery. That’s about it. Eventually, Gru also has to battle a far richer nemesis: a kid TV star named Balthazar Bratt (voiced by Trey Parker) who aged into a bitter world-class

thief, who so pines for his long-gone ’80s glory that he still rocks shoulder pads and a bad mustache and a mullet. Bratt carries the movie whenever he’s onscreen, but it goes slack when he’s not.

There aren’t even much in the way of Minions. They do score the film’s finest moment — yet another musical number, but this one for Gilbert and Sullivan’s “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General” (!!). They even manage to do it during a stretch that should be the low-point: a beyond-crass crossover moment with the awful movie “Sing,” done only because that was made by the same animation house. That’s “Despicable Me 3” in a nutshell: periodically charming but also utterly, despicably cynical.

“Okja” is a mess, but it’s a good kind of mess. It’s the kind of mess where there’s method to the madness. The latest renegade blockbuster from Bong Joon-ho (“Snowpiercer,” “The Host”) is a Spielbergian heart-warmer that’s also an action movie that’s also an activist screed that takes on not only capitalism but also animal rights.

If you sort through it, though, you can see the shambles as complexity. “Okja” may convince you to go vegetarian, but its message is a whole lot more disturbing than “meat is murder.”

The hero is a genetically engineered “superpig” named Okja, whose kind were bred in a lab by a giant corporation led by Tilda Swinton (in nutcase mode).

Swinton’s CEO says it’s because they want to cure world hunger, but we can tell it’s really so they can spin tragedy into profit. Okja was raised on a farm in South Korea, where she befriended Mija (Anh Seo-hyun), a little girl unaware of her bestie’s fate.

When the corporation finally comes for the grown Okja, ready to turn her bulbous body into chops and jerky sticks and other assorted meat-stuff, Mija isn’t having it.

Mija’s attempts to save Okja takes her around the globe, all while the movie keeps shape-shifting, throwing you curveballs, wildly changing tone. It starts off sweet, like a

Spielberg film, then gives you a thrilling chase scene, like a Spielberg film. It will throw in brilliant but bumbling animal rights activists, a Lower Manhattan parade gone hilariously/violently awry, even a devastating trip to a slaughterhouse.

Not that “Okja” is merely out to make you ditch meat. And it doesn’t just reveal that the real problem is the system. It shows that the “system” only survives because we all contribute to its existence and proliferation. It paints a bleak portrait of globalism — how surviving in a world run by profit requires ignoring one’s complicity in it, even if you’re a little girl like Mija, living in a far-flung pocket of South Korea. Stick with “Okja” and you’ll realize that we all contribute to the world’s ills — and you’ll have a blast as you do. MP

Here come the walking dead Become a creature of the night on the NYC Zombie Crawl.

EVA KIS @thisiskis

eva.kis@metro.us

Whatever you may think about themed bar crawls, the NYC Zombie Crawl is not that.

Now in its 11th year, the event takes hordes of people elaborately costumed and made up to look like the undead through the streets of Brooklyn in the summer (this year on Sunday, July 2) and Manhattan in the fall.

Ironically, for many of them, acting like the walking dead is their life. “I personally spend half the year dressed like a zombie,� says Doug Sakmann, the founder of NYC Zombie Crawl.

Sakmann has been

in the zombie business a lot longer than AMC’s monster hit series “The Walking Dead� has been around, as a professional special-effects artist for 17 years and co-owner of the production company Backseat Conceptions.

The zombie boom has sent him to all kinds of places, from Mets games to the Cannes Film Festival, and every year he leads an ever-growing gang of zombie fans down the streets of New York.

More than a themed excuse to drink (not that there is anything wrong with that), the Zombie Crawl started almost like a networking event, and half the attendees remain professionals in the entertainment business. The rest are fans of the genre, which creates a community feeling. “Since we’ve been doing this for so long, we have families who met on

the zombie crawl and got married, they’re bringing their kids out,� says Sakmann. “It’s a celebration of zombie culture and special-effects culture. You don’t necessarily have to drink to be a zombie.�

To participate, you’ll need the stamina of the undead — the event goes for 10 to 12 hours. Beginning at 4 p.m., attendees gather at Williamsburg’s The Charleston, where some who had already spent up to five hours on

their own transformation apply prostheses to more casual attendees for $10.

Or you can just opt for Sakmann’s method of getting you on-theme. “Right before we go out, I always have some kind of ‘blood propulsion system’ to spray down whoever does want to get covered in blood,� he says. Past methods have included a Super Soaker and a water cannon. (That said, “If you don’t want to have blood on you, you

don’t have to be covered in blood.�)

At 6:30 p.m., it’s off through McCarren Park for games and the traditional family photo op, then to A Bar and finally the 21+ after-party at Brooklyn Bazaar, where Sakmann emcees a show with music, sideshow acts and special guests, including a rare East Coast performance by psychedelic retro arts collective Everything Is Terrible.

The crawl is free to at-

tend; advance tickets to the after-party are $20.

This year, the zombies even have a grand marshal: Ben Kissel, professional urban-myth debunker on “Last Podcast on the Left� and now a candidate for Brooklyn borough president. “When it comes to criminal-justice reform, people are brain-dead,�

Kissel says. “If I can convince the zombies, I’ll do great with the rest of Brooklyn.�

If your kids love raining down digital destruction in “Angry Birds,” they can try their skills in real life at the New York Hall of Science’s summer exhibit.

Glam up your summer at MoMA There’s a new after-hours spot for live music, cocktails and some seriously elevated conversation: the Museum of Modern Art. In a nod to the non-tourists who may want to unwind with its world-class collection of art on weeknights, the museum is extending its evening hours to 9 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays beginning July 1 through August.

And if you go on Uniqlo Free Friday Nights, the usual $25 admission will be waived from 4 p.m. to closing time.

All of MoMA’s permanent collection and exhibition galleries will stay open late, but it’s the seasonal perks of its outdoor Sculpture Garden that you’ll appreciate most. Start your evening at the new Garden Bar serving cocktails and snacks, or the museum’s newly expanded secondfloor Espresso Bar serves wine in addition to coffee after 5:30 p.m.

For an early start to the weekend, Summer Thursdays bring an outdoor concert series into the Sculpture Garden starting at 6:30 p.m. Like all summer evening events, it’s free with admission. EVA KIS

It’s not an overexaggeration when someone claims that the NBA never rests. Just about two weeks away from the end of the 2016-17 season, the NBA is preparing for its Summer League in Orlando and Las Vegas.

This summer, the New York Knicks will be participating down in Orlando only as rookies, invitees and fringe players look to take any chance possible to impress team management.

It’s the first step they can take toward nailing down a place in the league as many of the participants are undrafted free agents or have been playing internationally.

Aries Too much of anything will lead to trouble. Consider the consequences before you engage in a conversation with someone you know you aren’t going to agree with.

Libra Keep a steady pace and a poker face as you deal with others. Too much of anything will cost you one way or another. Keep the peace and maintain equilibrium.

Taurus Express your feelings and explore your relationship options. Whether it is a business or personal connection, taking the time to get to know him or her better will pay off.

Scorpio You’ll be tempted by outside influences. Refuse to get involved in something that you don’t like just to fit in. An honest approach to life will bring the best results.

Gemini Fixing up your space to better suit your needs will make you feel better about moving forward at your own speed. Adjust to what you can afford.

Sagittarius If you want change, be the one to make it happen. Being an instigator instead of a complainer will result in greater satisfaction and a higher profile.

Cancer Problems at home or work will escalate if you overreact Look inward and rely on the people you deem honest and responsible.

Capricorn Look at something objectively before signing up. You are best off taking baby steps if you want to avoid getting into something too deep. Time is on your side.

Leo Stay on top of what’s going on around you. Avoid getting involved in other people’s affairs. Stick to what you know, and take care of your responsibilities first.

Aquarius Look for alternative options if you face a roadblock. Relying on experience and calling in favors will help you bypass something that has the potential to ruin your plans.

Virgo Concentrate on how you can make positive changes that will help you get ahead. Don’t worry about the actions of others if they don’t affect you.

Pisces Don’t hold back when dealing with someone trying to dump responsibilities in your lap. Speak up if you want to avoid being taken for granted. EUGENIA LAST
