‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Teaser Surprises Super Bowl Audiences

‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Teaser Surprises Super Bowl Audiences Since Disney has taken ownership of Lucasfilm, the studio hasn’t used the Super Bowl as a launch pad for Star Wars movies. Until today. Taking everyone by surprise without any forewarning, Disney dropped a teaser for its Memorial Day opener spinoff Solo: A Star Wars Story. The trailer officially drops tomorrow. There was an assumption among fanboys that Disney would drop this during the Winter Olympics, but here it is, the first 38 seconds of Solo. Ron Howard took over the directing reigns of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller after the directing duo were fired from Solo back in June.

With an Endearing Personality and Unmatched Talent, Chloe Kim Emerges as the Star of the Winter Olympics . Quickly. At only 17 years old, Chloe Kim is endearing herself to the Olympic world with her affable personality and absurd snowboarding talent.

Opinion . PYEONGCHANG, South Korea – North Korea has emerged as the early favourite to grab one of the Winter Olympics ’ most important. 17-Year-Old Chloe Kim Emerges as Star of Winter Olympics . And not only for her talent, the teen has an endearing personality as well.

BONGPYEONG, South Korea — Let’s all salute the multi-talented Chloe Kim, who just won the halfpipe gold medal and got through all of her runs without stopping to take a selfie. Let’s marvel at her snowboarding skills and applaud her self-discipline. After all, her last run was just for show anyway. She had already won gold. She might have won it when she got off the plane.

Kim is 17 years old, which means if the other snowboarders want to win an Olympic gold medal, they have four years to take up another sport. She is the halfpipe’s Simone Biles. Like Biles, Kim is so much better than her fellow competitors that, even if you think a halfpipe is something you hide when your parents visit you in college, you can see how great she is. After she nailed her first run, scoring a 93.75, it was pretty clear that the only way anybody would beat her was to climb the scoreboard and cover up their own decimal point.

US won't rule out Olympics talks with North Korea

US won't rule out Olympics talks with North Korea Vice President Mike Pence or other US officials might meet with North Koreans at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang next week, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Monday. Washington has previously said it won't seek to initiate contact with North Koreans attending the South Korean games, but it does want talks with Kim Jong-Un in an effort to get him to abandon his nuclear program.Asked during a visit to Peru whether Pence might accept an invitation to meet the North Korea delegation, Tillerson – who is pushing for a diplomatic solution to the crisis – would not rule it out.

Kim is 17 years old, which means if the other snowboarders want to win an Olympic gold medal, they have four years to take up another sport. That she achieved it is a testament to her athleticism, her work ethic, and on some level, the personality that is now endearing her to the American public.

At only 17 years old, Chloe Kim is endearing herself to the Olympic world with her affable personality and absurd snowboarding talent. Perhaps at the mall. For now, let’s all appreciate America’s delightful, precocious and preposterously talented snowboarding star .

RELATED: Kim tweeted in the middle of her snowboard event and then won gold

Including qualifying, Kim had five runs. She scored above 90 on four of them. Nobody else even did it once.

That is athletic greatness, but greatness alone does not captivate us. Kim is the kind of naturally bubbly and witty athlete we cannot resist.

A sampling: “My dad didn’t cry at all, which I don’t get at all. I’m like: What are you doing?”

Talk about what your father means to you …

“I hate talking about my dad when he’s there because he gets really cocky,” she said. “He’s like, ‘You really do care about me!’”

In between runs on her first day of competition, she tweeted about wanting ice cream and America went nuts. Between finals runs, she of course had to follow it up, creating one of those oh-so-very important social-media challenges that cause people all around the world to miss busses and forget to buy milk. She could have gone hot dog. She could have gone chocolate-chip cookie. Instead she tweeted:

I’m sure we can agree: it was a good tweet that became great with hangry and the lack of punctuation at the end.

Kim does not come off as flaky; she just lacks the self-consciousness that most 17-year-olds would feel in a press conference. If she worries about what people think, she hides it well. At one point she rambled so long that she finally just admitted, “I don’t know what I’m saying right now, but I’m just really happy.”

Well, there is a pretty good reason for that. You don’t get to be the best in the world at age 17 by starting late. Kim has been aiming for this since before she really understood she was aiming for this. That she achieved it is a testament to her athleticism, her work ethic, and on some level, the personality that is now endearing her to the American public. The pressure could have broken long ago. She was born to be a star, but she had to work for years to become one.

Fox News Yanks John Moody’s Incendiary “Darker, Gayer” Olympics Column: “Does Not Reflect Views Or Values” At Company

Fox News Yanks John Moody’s Incendiary “Darker, Gayer” Olympics Column: “Does Not Reflect Views Or Values” At Company Fox News yanked an online column about the Winter Olympics, written by longtime Fox News executive John Moody, in which he blasts the U.S. Olympics Committee, saying it would like to change the Olympics motto from ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’ to ‘Darker, Gayer, Different.'” “If your goal is to win medals, that won’t work,” Moody complained in the column, that was posted Wednesday and pulled Friday around 10:30 AM PT, after getting blasted “If your goal is to win medals, that won’t work,” Moody complained in the column, which was posted Wednesday and pulled Friday around 10:30 AM PT after getting blasted on Twitter and in statements issued by various human rights organizations.

How Chloe got like this is a mystery.

“My mom (Boran) and I are always talking about followers,” Kim said. “She’s like, ‘Post a picture of me so I can get more followers!’”

(Perhaps not that much of a mystery.)

Kim would have won gold anywhere on the planet, but winning in Korea was especially cool. Kim’s father, Jong Jin, is from Korea, and she learned after her second run that her grandmother was here. By that point, she had already clinched gold.

“My grandma has never seen me compete before,” Kim said. “I was like, ‘This one’s for Grams.’”

It is common knowledge that grandmothers love when their granddaughters do a method, front 10, back 10, front nine, McTwist and crippler seven on a sunny winter day, so naturally that is what Kim did. She said later she could improve upon the moves she threw down. The judges are not so sure. Two of them scored it as a 99. Four others, including the American judge, gave her a 98. How do you like them apples, Grams?

“I hope she enjoyed watching it,” Chloe said, “and I can’t wait to go shopping with her.”

This would have been a great time for me to go interview Chloe Kim’s grandmother, but I didn’t. Perhaps at the mall. For now, let’s all appreciate America’s delightful, precocious and preposterously talented snowboarding star. Whoever cast Chloe Kim as Chloe Kim nailed it.

Apolo Ohno Thinks Michael Phelps Will Compete In 2020 Olympics

Apolo Ohno Thinks Michael Phelps Will Compete In 2020 Olympics Apolo Ohno's first Olympics as a broadcaster wasn't a Winter Games. It was London in 2012. "I remember watching Michael Phelps swimming and I went to the press conference," Ohno says. "I have been to that press conference so many times, but now sitting in the chair, looking up at the podium where the other athletes are sitting, waving my hand, asking a question, it was weird. It gave me a lot of perspective as to what Michael and the other athletes are seeing, but also, what we were seeing as reporters and broadcasters.

And not only for her talent, the teen has an endearing personality as well. 4 months ago. On Monday, Chloe Kim won the halfpipe gold medal at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics . That makes her the third U.S. Olympian to win gold at the 2018 Games.
