‘Die Hard,’ laugh harder at one-man parody

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:07:48 GMT

British actor Darrel Bailey does a great German accent. This was a problem.While Bailey was rehearsing to perform “Yippee Ki Yay” — a one-person retelling of “Die Hard” — he kept crushing his German accent. Only Alan Rickman himself doesn’t actually do all that well with the accent of legendary villain Hans Gruber (note: I acknowledge there is vigorous debate around this subject).“There’s a joke very early on in the show about how Alan Rickman’s accent isn’t very good, how it’s very English,” Bailey told the Herald from London. “I struggled trying to nail down a bad German accent. Mine was too good. I have a good frame of reference because I have good German friends. But the director at the time was like, ‘Too German, make it more posh English.’”Eventually Bailey mastered along with the dozen of other voices he invented for “Yippee Ki Yay,” Dec. 27 to 31 at the Huntington Theatre. And the dozens of mannerisms. And the character ticks. And how to fight a teddy bear.If you celebrate e...

King: Why haven’t candidates embraced AI?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:07:48 GMT

Memo to presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump:Assuming one of you will be elected president of the United States next year, many computer scientists believe you should be addressing what you think about artificial intelligence and how you plan to deal with the surge in this technology, which will break over the nation in the next president’s term.Gentlemen, this matter is urgent, yet only a little has been heard from either of you who are seeking the highest office. President Biden did sign a first attempt at guidelines for AI, but he and Trump have been quiet on its transformative impact.Indeed, the political class has been silent, preoccupied as it is with old and — against what will happen — irrelevant issues. Congress has been as silent as Biden and Trump. There are two congressional AI caucuses, but they have been concerned with minor issues, like AI in political advertising.The AI tsunami is rolling in, and the political class is at play, unaware that it is about ...

Keilson & Seckel-Cerrotti: Fighting the epidemic of loneliness in U.S.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:07:48 GMT

Singer-songwriter Carole King had it right: It’s good to know you’ve got a friend. Especially now, in the midst of what the U.S. Surgeon General has called, in a 2023 report, “an epidemic of loneliness and isolation” in the United States. Research has shown that having friends is good for your health, staves off anxiety and depression, and even reduces the need for medical care. Any heavy lift is lighter when someone is lifting with you.The Surgeon General’s report warns that the physical consequences of loneliness and poor connection can be devastating and include a 29% increased risk of heart disease; a 32% increased risk of stroke; and a 50% increased risk of developing dementia for older adults. In stark terms, the report notes that lacking connection can actually increase one’s risk for premature death to levels that compare with smoking 15 cigarettes a day.To us, these findings were concerning but not surprising. We’ve seen what can happen to people who are without a friend or...
