In Hillary Clinton’s upcoming memoir “What Happened,” the 2016 Democratic nominee discusses differences between herself and her primary opponent Bernie Sanders. “I am proud to be a Democrat and I wish Bernie were, too,” she wrote in the book. In an excerpt tweeted out by Tom Watson, Clinton talks about how Sanders’ “Bernie Bro” supporters helped pave the way for Donald Trump’s own smear campaign against her. “Because we agreed on so much, Bernie couldn’t make an argument against me in this area on policy, so he had to resort to innuendo and impugning my character,” the tweeted out page reads.

The incredibly glamorous one with long hair – no, not Jerry Hall, that’s the current one. The one before – the fiercer one. The one who grew up in a small flat in China and ended up living in the most expensive apartment in Manhattan – $44m (£35.8m), don’t you know – after meeting Rupert at Star TV, which he owns, in Hong Kong.

It was the Ufc’s first trip to Maine, home state of former heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia (who campaigned hard to appear on the card to no avail, as he has not fought in the promotion in years). That marks the 32nd state the promotion has visited, in addition to numerous countries around the globe.
Along the way to the main event, “Smiling” Sam Alvey and Tom Watson put on a great battle for fans where there was really no loser, Sara McMann picked up her first win since her title fight loss to Ronda Rousey, and Thiago Tavares picked up his second submission in a row to open the main card.
Later in the night, Shawn Jordan picked up a much needed win at heavyweight, and debuting fighter and former male model Alan Jouban shocked us all, knocking out opponent and Ufc/Ifl vet Seth Baczynski, proving once again...

London, Dec 6: Britons are so mad about gambling that they are spending 46 billion pounds a year on machines in bookies, which is a rise of 50 percent in just four years.
Punters can lose up to 100 pounds every 20 seconds on the casino-style slot machines dubbed the "crack cocaine" of the betting industry.
Gambling Commission figures show bookies made 1.55 billion-pound profit from the terminals last year, the Daily Star reported.
The Commission also found 6,000 children were stopped trying to use betting shops, six times as many as just four years ago.
Fixed odds betting terminals, such as roulette machines, have even been linked to drugs money laundering. Deputy Labour Party Chairman Tom Watson has led.

"What is this? Is that what I think it is?" Slavoj Žižek husks while approaching a monochrome gadget in the corner of the room. He stares at the object before jumping back aghast. It's a premium lager tap system. Clearly ruffled by its presence, the Slovene philosopher launches into a sprawling and hilarious critique on capitalist theory all down to the existence of this one functioning machine. His response rate is almost infinite. If you don't interject, it seems he will never break to inhale. But, on the release of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (2012), CineVue were able to cover how one of this generation's great thinkers feels on the series' progression, the issues with improvisation and the death of film theory.
Tom Watson: Did you find it a struggle to establish a dichotomy between film language and public speaking?
Slavoj Žižek: The origin of this technique is a modest one.

★★★★☆ "I already am eating from the trash can. The name of this trash can is 'ideology." These are the opening words to psychoanalytic critic and cultural philosopher Slavoj Žižek's The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (2013), a new entry in his growing Pervert's Guide series. Escalating from the analysis of fantasy and reverie in cinematic construction, Žižek delivers a full-bodied, genuinely humorous account of ambiguity and austerity. The concept of ideology as a sociopolitical tool used to appropriate a system of ideals has been barked from every intellect's pedestal for centuries, but here is given fresh impetus by our able host.
It's Žižek's evident zeal and vigour in his filmic examples that enable his ponderous ramblings to fly beyond that of a stodgy specimen of public speaking. Using excerpts from classic Hollywood movies including The Sound of Music (1965) and John Carpenter's criminally undervalued They Live (1988), Žižek refuses to hold his audience's hand with vocal linearity.

★★★★☆ Italian master Michelangelo Antonioni was never one to shy away from an elliptical narrative. Depending on your temperament, his cold, alienating projections have been either lauded or denounced, but always cinematically significant. At times, cinematography is his only clear protagonist. Sprawling landscapes with infinite depth of field. Other times, his characters seemed caged in stark urban deserts, tussling with deep introversion and emotional antipathy. In La Notte (1961), the second part of his 'trilogy of modernity and its discontents,' Antonioni meshes the players with the panorama.
Set in early sixties Milan, La Notte carries a mood of intrinsic separation between people's innermost self. Antonioni captures the self-conscious breakdown of a stagnant marriage within the timeframe of 24 hours. Two disenchanted lovers - Giovanni Pontano (Fellini favourite Marcello Mastroianni) the celebrated writer, and Lydia Pontano (French actress Jeanne Moreau) the wealthy socialite - permit their egocentric defeatism and selfish desires to demolish...

★★☆☆☆ How important is the internet to you? Is it a cathartic escapism from the confines of reality or just somewhere you can watch an inexhaustible supply of porn? In the past few years it has come to fruition that western civilisations are vastly ignorant over the repercussions of their online activities. What's more, the influence the web has charred into its present users doesn't even muster a murmur of its potential over forthcoming generations. In UK cinemas this week, director Beeban Kidron's InRealLife (2013) reports on this new breed of web-dependency by following disturbing accounts from internet-addicted teens.
What we're presented with in InRealLife is an ambiguous collection of horror stories that showcase the frailty of the human condition in the hands of corporate computer companies. Far removed from her previous Bridget Jones sequel feature filmmaking, Kidron's sustained journalistic approach collates an unabridged cache of industry professionals, commentators and users.

★★★☆☆ The language of punk can be equally as consoling as it is pugnacious. At its core, punk embraces eccentricities and shits on social inequalities. If you're not a fan, you're petrified of its potential to unshackle the minds of the oppressed. Yet amongst punk's iconoclasts, there are leagues of faceless revolutionaries, screaming for their messages to be heard. Whether that message illustrates leftist frustration or a loathing of your care home's pedicure regime - as heard in Jukka Kärkkäinen and Jani-Petteri Passi's The Punk Syndrome (2012) - the music acts a soapbox for even the most unassuming of speakers.
The Punk Syndrome is a warm and often humorous doc on "Finland's most kick ass punk band," comprised of adults with learning difficulties. Initially posing itself as a treatment for a Harmony Korine short, its borderline impossible not to set one's moral standpoint on the defensive. The question "Are we being...

London – Australia's main parties should team up to fight the "dangerous" influence of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp in the country, a British politician, who has developed a reputation for challenging the media mogul, said Monday. Tom Watson, a member of parliament here for the opposition Labour Party, during the Leveson Inquiry into U.K. media standards and ethics repeatedly criticized Murdoch. He is also the co-author of the book "Dial M for Murdoch" about the mogul's empire, said that News Corp's Australian papers have criticized the Labor Party government of prime minister Kevin Rudd during the current election campaign

★★★★☆ De Sévigné once wrote "We cannot destroy kindred..." This rather ominous proverb continues to denote "...our chains stretch a little sometimes." Yet, Kurdish-Austrian director Umut Dağ's debut drama, Kuma (2012), heaves and jerks at Sévigné's aphorism to the brink of obliteration. Shot with the tautness of Cristian Mungiu and the graceful melancholy of Haneke's happier side, Dağ depicts the heart-splintering tale of a broken Turkish family. And while the copious fragments of melodrama and red-eyed gloom may sporadically flounce from one dismal setback to the next, there is heart in this picture, beating at timeless pace.
The opening film of this year's Berlinale Panorama strand, Dağ's quiet drama of a bashful village girl drafted in as a second wife, screamed notoriety. Kuma ("second wife" in Turkish) wailed with humbled praise at the story of an extended household undergoing the woes of honour in a dishonourable world. Led to believe that dainty...

Ufc 169 was to be held in Rio De Janeiro at the Hsbc arena.With many hometown fighters it was set to be an excellent pay per view culminating in an interesting fight for the featherweight championship between Jose Aldo and The Korean Zombie. Also on the card we would see the Brazilian Lyoto Machida take on Phil Davis in a unofficial number one contenders match up. Here is my report of the main card at Ufc 163.
First Match:
John Lineker vs. Jose Maria. Winner: John Lineker
Flyweight Division
John Lineker looked to claim another victory in his home country of Brazil against fellow compatriot and last minute replacement Jose Maria. Jose Maria had not been beaten since 2008 whilst Lineker has won 16 of his last 17 fights. Lineker is known for exciting fighting style and his knockout power and he looked to showcase this in the match.

★★★☆☆ 'When boundless love meets sectarian boundaries' is by no means the most enticing underpinning narrative; nor does it sound particularly controversial. However, Michael Mayer's feature debut, Out in the Dark (2012), proves that even the most overplayed melodies of love and war can sing with innovation. Juggling a myriad of political hot potatoes including racism, homosexuality and domestic violence, Mayer transcends through all the capricious clichés grown stagnant through repetition. Instead, this first-time Israeli director turns over a modern day Romeo and Juliet yarn scarred by the truths of geopolitical immorality.
Opting for the provocative itinerary of two gay lovers split by the animosity between their nations, Mayer clearly intends to establish his divisive directorial footing early in his career. If not for the amorous dynamics between his two leads, Nicholas Jacob and Michael Aloni, he may have struggled to shed the melodrama moniker from his skillset. Yet, it's Jacob...

★★☆☆☆ Polish director Michal Marczak's awkwardly titillating documentary F*ck for Forest (2012) is extraordinary viewing. Dressed like a Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome flashmob, a troupe of capricious Berlin-based eccentrics film themselves having sex with each other and semi-willing volunteers. The videos are then made available by subscription via their website. The price for our perversions, we are told, is invested in environment protection and supporting the company's ecological cause. Yet, while a subject-matter so bizarrely seductive is bewitching to behold, F*ck for Forest shows potential without a point.
The blinding narcissism at the heart of this band of sexual liberals rapidly deconstructs the political message (if any) they intend to promote. Twirling and gyrating around in their semen-stained rags, the group approach bemused foreigners under the pretence of 'spreading the love' in the name of ecological activism. What Marczak captures instead is almost disheartening. A shrewd crew of very...
