Meanwhile, 70 percent of college students plan to vote for Biden, and 71 percent said they are “absolutely certain” they will vote in the election. The survey sampled some 4,000 full-time college students across the country. “The poll’s findings paint a stark picture: Most college students plan on voting, and they heavily prefer Joe Biden over President Trump,” the Knight Foundation said in a press release emailed to Newsweek....

Russell, who’s made two nervy independent movies, “Spanking the Monkey” and the neo-screwball “Flirting with Disaster,” is making his first big-canvas, big-studio movie, but there’s no sense of compromise. Blackly funny, unafraid to shift emotional gears from farce to horror, peppered with spectacular action, and bitingly critical of the way the U.S. abandoned the anti-Saddam resistance movement when the war was over, “Three Kings” works both as a rousing action adventure movie and as a subversion of the genre....

Artis, who averaged 8.5 points per game in nearly 24 minutes of action last season, could cut into Jason Calliste’s playing time, The Oregonian reported.

Other people’s nostalgia can be a scary thing. But it’s a godsend for the members of Kiss, who after 16 years of laboring along in varying degrees of obscurity have put their original lineup and stage show back together and taken to the road with a set list dating from 1978. They may end up as the highest-grossing tour of the year. And they’re just the biggest slice in today’s wheel of rock-and-roll cheese....
