'Crazy Rich Asians' Becomes Most Successful U.S. Studio Rom-Com in 9 Years | THR News - Duration: 1:47.
'Crazy Rich Asians' has become the most successful Hollywood studio romantic comedy
in nearly a decade at the North American box office. The Jon M. Chu directed flick
finished the Labor Day long weekend with an estimated total of $117 million, beating out
the $110.2 million earned domestically by Amy Schumer's 2015 pic 'Trainwreck.'
Since its debut in mid-August, 'Crazy Rich Asians' has continued to defy the overall
comedy slump gripping the U.S. box office for the past several years and boasts the top
showing for a rom-com since Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds' 'The Proposal'
earned $164 million in North America in 2009, not adjusted for inflation.
The $30 million movie, along with the shark pic 'The Meg' and the Tom Cruise blockbuster
'Mission: Impossible — Fallout,' also helped to give the box-office a better than expected
August, with the month being up nearly 30 percent over the same time frame in 2017.
Also over the Labor Day frame, 'Crazy Rich Asians' eclipsed the 2017 summer box office
hit 'Girls Trip' domestically to become the most successful live-action comedy in
at least two years, regardless of genre. 'Girls Trip' earned $140 million globally
while 'Crazy Rich Asians,' which is still early in its foreign run, has already grossed
$136.9 million to date at the worldwide box office.
The critically acclaimed movie - which is the first Hollywood studio film to feature an
all-Westernized Asian-American cast since 1993's 'The Joy Luck Club' - is appealing
to an ethnically diverse audience and has enjoyed a stellar hold and topped the chart
for three consecutive weekends. Warner Bros. Pictures is already looking ahead to a
sequel to the groundbreaking rom-com which stars Constance Wu,
Henry Golding, MIchelle Yeh and Awkwafina.

WHY IRAN'S AIR FORCE IS NO MATCH FOR U.S AIR FORCE ? - Duration: 4:53.
The relations between Iran and U.S.A has gone downhill after U.S has decided to quit from
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly called the Iran nuclear deal in May.
Trump administration has expressed its intention to reapply sanctions on Iranian oil exports
that had earlier been suspended through the deal.
It is increasingly likely that the United States will push its allies to completely
stop importing Iranian oil.
Iran has threatened to restart its nuclear program as well as close The Strait of Hormuz.
In that case, the situation will escalate further, and there is a chance of a conflict.
In every modern-day conflict, air power plays a crucial role and it's the topic for this discussion.
In this video Defense Updates, analyses why Iran's Air Force is no match for U.S Air Force?
Let's get started.
Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) used to be one of the largest and most powerful
air forces in the world.
But things have gone bad to worse and it has now become a mere shadow of its former self.
Multiple wars and sustained sanctions have taken their toll.
International arms embargo resulted in difficulty in obtaining spare parts for its aging fleet
of air force jets let alone buying new once.
The IRIAF now consists of mostly outdated fighters whose operational availability is
also suspect.
The MiG-29 is the most capable fighter of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.
It has only 20 of these.
Other fighters include Sukhoi Su-24, Sukhoi Su-22, Chengdu F-7, Northrop F-5, F-4 Phantom
II, Grumman F-14 and Mirage F1, totaling to about 150.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Air Force which is a separate air arm and part
of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has about 10 ex-Iraqi Su-25 "Frogfoot" fighters.
There is no long-range bomber and there is also no AWACS which is a major issue.
Compare this with U.S Air Force which has almost 2000 fighter jet that includes around
187 F 22 Raptor 5th generation fighters which are considered the most potent fighter in
the world.
Apart from that U.S has dedicated long-range bomber including stealthy B 2 Spirit as well
it has a flotilla of very capable AWACS.
The U.S also has 10 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers which can be deployed through the
Arabian Sea.
Nimitz-class displaces about 100000 tonnes and spans 333 meters long.
Each of these is capable of carrying more than 60 fighter jets.
The Nimitz strike fighters are primarily F18 Hornets and F18 Super Hornets.
These are twin-engine carrier-capable 4+ generation multirole fighter aircraft designed for land
and air attacks.
Through Nimitz class carriers, U.S will be able to bring the fight to Iran from the sea.
Further, if we take other factors like superior training, better tactic and higher manpower
availability U.S Air Force is placed far ahead of IRIAF.
Iran and Russia were discussing for the sale and coproduction of 48 Su-30.
This would have given Iran's Air Force much-needed teeth.
But this didn't materialize due to issues of price and technology transfers.
In 2013, Iran revealed a prototype fighter jet named Qaher-313 "stealth fighter".
But the very small design seemed unrealistic with pilot's knees being visible in the
cockpit.
Most experts dismissed the prototype as nothing more than a mock-up.
In 2017, when the fighter appeared again, it seemed larger but the overall design's
credibility is still suspect.
With no new fighters bought and no fighter manufactured domestically, Iran's Air Force
is in a dire state.
Keeping all these into consideration it can be safely said that Iran's Air Force is
in no shape to counter the American airpower.
If a conflict starts, U.S will have complete air superiority within a few days and will
be able to dictate the battle from then onwards.

How to Become a US Army Sniper? - Duration: 4:14.
Forty six candidates arrive at the US Army's Sniper School in Ft.
Benning, Georgia every seven weeks.
Typically only 4 graduate.
Think you have what it takes?
That's what we'll find out today, in this episode of The Infographics Show- how to become
a US Army sniper.
Pulling the trigger is only half the battle.
You're going to need to know more than just guns; excellent proficiency in physics and
mathematics is a must-have for any would-be sniper.
When your only job on a battlefield is to be accurate, and a single shot could turn
the tide of a battle, a US Army sniper must be able to calculate the effect that wind,
gravity, distance, and even the Coriolis Effect- the effect of the earth's rotation on a moving
object- will all cumulatively have on a bullet as it travels through the air.
Before you even get to sniper school though, you'll undergo the Army Physical Fitness Test
with your home unit, and you're expected to earn top marks.
You'll also need experience as an infantry, cavalry, or special forces soldier, and you
must have earned an extremely high score in the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery.
Next, you'll undergo a thorough psychological evaluation, since you'll be spending most
of your career alone in a 2-man crew, and the US Army needs to know that you have the
mental fortitude to handle the pressures of the job and isolation both.
Let's say you pass all those requirements and make it to day 1 of sniper school though...well,
the first thing you can expect is yet another physical fitness test followed by a marksmanship
test with the M-4 assault rifle using only iron sights.
Fail either test and that's it for you, you go home.
At the start of your second week, you'll be faced with your next pass-or-fail test: you
and your class will camouflage yourself on one of the school's wilderness courses and
maintain your position for hours while instructors search for you with high powered optics.
You'll be expected to ignore the scorching Georgia heat, crawling ants, spiders, snakes
and other creepy crawleys; if you move or are spotted, you automatically fail the course.
You'll also undergo target detection training, and you'll be taught to use your eyes, binoculars
and rifle scope to detect targets.
These skills will be tested throughout the week, and failure means you go home.
Weeks three through five will pair you with another student, and you'll both swap as shooter
and spotter.
The spotter is responsible for calculating wind and other environmental effects, feeding
his shooter the critical data needed to make an accurate shot.
Throughout these three weeks, you'll spend your time either in the classroom are at the
range, testing your mental fitness and marksmanship both.
If you fail any of your marksmanship tests, you go home.
You'll spend week six learning how to shoot from different positions, as a sniper rarely
ever shoots from the famous prone firing position.
You'll be forced to contort your body uncomfortably, hold the position for hours at a time, and
still deliver an accurate shot to a predetermined target.
Failure means you go home.
Your final and seventh week will be a test of all your previous lessons.
You will plan and execute a sniper and countersniper mission, undergoing urban infiltration and
hide setup techniques.
You'll then move to the woods and learn to build subsurface hides, meticulously camouflaged
holes in the ground where a sniper may live for days at a time in a real-world mission.
Finally you'll undergo a final culmination exercise which will test your skills in stalking,
detecting a target, estimating range, and accurate shooting.
Failure in any element of the course means- you guessed it- you go home.
The US Army employs some of the deadliest snipers in the world, and of all that apply,
only a tiny percentage will ever reach graduation.
Think you have what it takes?
Who do you think was the deadliest sniper of all time?
Let us know in the comments.
Also, be sure to check out our other video called A day in the life of a US Marine.
Thanks for watching, and, as always, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
See you next time!

US Senate Candidate Beto O'Rourke Gets Candid on His DUI - Duration: 2:38.
When you're in politics, they dig up every single thing
they can on you.
And so you have to know that things are going to come out.
And recently-- well, they already
knew that you had a DUI 20 years ago.
You were 26?
I was 26, just turned 26.
So you had a DUI.
And then recently, now, there are new details.
And I just want you to be able to talk about that.
Yeah.
20 years ago, I drove drunk, a terrible mistake.
There's no explanation or justifying that.
Since then, I've gone on with friends to start a business,
with Amy to raise a family, serving my community
in the United States Congress.
And in many ways, that mistake did not define me.
I was able to go on and do these things.
But I know, to some degree, that's a function of the fact
that I'm a white man in this country.
I know that if I were African-American,
if I had been arrested with marijuana,
it might be very hard for me to then get a job.
I'd have to check a box on an application form.
I couldn't finance my student loans.
That might very well narrow my choices and options in life,
as it does for so many in a country that has the largest
prison population on the face of the planet, one
that is disproportionately brown and black.
I want to make sure that everyone has a second chance.
That's a lesson that I take from this and something
that I want to use as motivation to make things better
for others who may have made mistakes in their lives.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
So you are-- I mean, I'm from New Orleans,
and I lived in Texas for a short amount of time, Atlanta, Texas.
So I know what humidity is, and I know what the South is.
You've decided to take a road trip
to go to every single county--
you said 34?
How many?
So there's 254 counties of Texas.
We've now visited every one of them,
had town halls in most of them.
So you decided August was a good time
to go take a road trip in a car, not a bus.
But you drove.
Right.
Yeah.
Look at you.
I mean-- so I have a gift for you,
because if you're going to do this--
all right, stand up.
Yeah.
OK.
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
All right.
Is that good?
Oh, here we go.
I'm feeling it.
How's that?
It feels good.
And then you've got your advertisement right there.
It's fantastic.
What do you all think?
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
All right, everybody, please, please
remember to vote on November 6.
No matter who it's for, your vote does count.
We'll be right back.

There's Another Book Out Telling Us Trump Isn't Great - Duration: 6:10.
LOTS TO TALK ABOUT, SO LET'S GET TO THE HEADLINES.
TODAY WAS THE START OF THE SENATE CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SUPREME COURT NOMINEE, BRETT KAVANAUGH.
KAVANAUGH IS TRUMP'S SECOND SUPREME COURT NOMINEE IN TWO
YEARS.
TWO IN TWO YEARS.
YOU'VE GOT TO ADMIT, VLADIMIR PUTIN IS DEFINITELY GETTING HIS
MONEY'S WORTH.
( LAUGHTER ) ISN'T HE?
THE HEARING GOT PRETTY CONTENTIOUS BECAUSE A LOT OF
AMERICANS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS NOMINATION.
THEY TO.
OF COURSE, I AS A BRIT, HAVE AN ADDITIONAL CONCERN FOR ANY
JUDGE: DOES HE LOOK SUFFICIENTLY STUPID IN AN OLD-TIMEY WIG?
( LAUGHTER ) YES.
YES HE DOES.
KAVANAUGH'S CONFIRMATION HEARING MAY LAST FOUR DAYS.
NOW IS IT JUST ME OR DOES FOUR DAYS SEEM SHORT TO
ANYONE ELSE FOR SOMETHING SO MONUMENTAL?
FOUR DAYS.
IT TOOK MY WIFE AND I THREE WEEKS TO PICK A PAINT COLOR FOR
OUR NEW KITCHEN.
( LAUGHTER ) ALTHOUGH IT WAS A LOT LIKE
TRUMP'S CHOICE, BECAUSE WE WERE ALSO JUST PICKING FROM FOUR
DIFFERENT SHADES OF WHITE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
IN OTHER TRUMP NEWS, THERE'S A NEW BOOK COMING OUT SOON BY
LEGENDARY JOURNALIST BOB WOODWARD, CALLED "FEAR."
IT'S AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY.
IN THE BOOK, DEFENSE SECRETARY JIM MATTIS IS NOT VERY
COMPLIMENTARY ABOUT TRUMP AND DESCRIBES HIM AS HAVING THE
UNDERSTANDING OF A FIFTH OR SIXTH GRADER.
APPARENTLY, TRUMP COULD NOT GRASP THE CONCEPT OF HOW THE
WHEELS ON THE BUS COULD POSSIBLY --
( LAUGHTER ) -- GO 'ROUND AND 'ROUND ALL DAY
LONG.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, HERE'S THE THING, IF ALL
THIS IS STRESSING YOU OUT, DON'T WORRY BECAUSE IN OTHER NEWS,
A SOON-TO-OPEN MARIJUANA MUSEUM IN LAS VEGAS HAS INSTALLED A
24-FOOT-TALL, FULLY FUNCTIONAL BONG THAT THEY'RE CALLING
"BONGZILLA."
( LAUGHTER ) YOU JUST KNOW THESE WERE TWO
STONED GUYS TRYING TO COME UP WITH A NAME.
"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO CALL THIS THING?
KING BONG OR BONGZILLA?
LEBONG JAMES?
I GOT IT, BRO -- BONG SKULL ISLAND.
( LAUGHTER ) BECAUSE OF THIS GIANT BONG, THE
CITY HAS NOW CHANGED THEIR SLOGAN TO: "WHAT HAPPENS IN
VEGAS... WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT?"
( LAUGHTER ) AND WE HAD TO TELL YOU ABOUT
THIS STORY.
OVER THE WEEKEND, A FISH VENDOR IN KUWAIT WAS FORCED TO CLOSE
AFTER IT WAS DISCOVERED HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE HIS FISH APPEAR
FRESHER BY PUTTING GOOGLY EYES ON THEM.
( LAUGHTER ) TRUE STORY!
RIGHT NOW, HERE'S THE THING -- THE FIRST SIGN YOUR FISH MIGHT
NOT BE COMPLETELY FRESH IS THAT YOU'RE BUYING IT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE DESERT.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT THIS IS PRETTY BAD.
IT'S NEVER FUN WHEN YOU COME BACK FROM THE FISH MARKET AND
REALIZE YOU'VE BEEN CATFISHED BY AN ACTUAL CATFISH.
( LAUGHTER ) THE FISH MARKET HAD A GOOD
EXCUSE, THOUGH, THEY SAID THEY JUST DID IT FOR THE HALIBUT.
( APPLAUSE ) THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
NO, STOP IT.
STOP IT.
YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT.
WE'RE NOT.
YOU ARE.
( LAUGHTER ) AND, FINALLY, EVERYONE'S TALKING
ABOUT THIS.
COLIN KAEPERNICK, THE QUARTERBACK WHO STARTED THE
N.F.L. KNEELING PROTESTS, HAS BEEN NAMED THE FACE OF NIKE'S
"JUST DO IT" CAMPAIGN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I'VE ALREADY SEEN IT.
HERE'S THE THING -- SOME PEOPLE ARE SO ANGRY ABOUT
THIS, THEY'RE ACTUALLY BURNING THEIR NIKE SHOES.
YEAH.
BURNING YOUR OWN SHOES AS A RESPONSE TO SOMETHING.
IF ONLY THERE WAS A WORD FOR THAT KIND OF ACTION, OH YEAH,
"PROTESTING."
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
COMPLETELY HARMLESS PROTESTING.
NOW, I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT SENTIMENT AT ALL, BUT BURNING
YOUR SNEAKERS DOES SEEM LIKE A SOLID WAY TO GET OUT OF GOING TO
THE GYM.
( LAUGHTER ) ISN'T IT?
I'D LOVE TO BE THERE BUT, AH, JUST -- I BURNED THEM.
( LAUGHTER ) THESE SHOE BURNERS THINK COLIN
KAEPERNICK HAS DISRESPECTED AMERICA.
HERE'S MY IDEA: NIKE SHOULD MAKE A PAIR OF KAEPERNICK SHOES THAT
LOOK LIKE THIS.
RIGHT?
( LAUGHTER ) JUST TO MESS WITH PEOPLE.
"WAIT, I WANT TO BURN THESE BUT I CAN'T."
AAAHHH!
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> NOW, IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT, HERE'S THE NIKE AD PEOPLE ARE
UPSET ABOUT.
IF PEOPLE ARE NOW WILLING TO BOYCOTT NIKE BECAUSE OF THIS AD,
I HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER THINGS COLIN KAEPERNICK
CAN PROMOTE.
MAYBE PEOPLE WOULD START TO BOYCOTT THOSE, TOO.
FOR EXAMPLE...
FLOSSING IN PUBLIC.
( LAUGHTER ) EATING TUNA AT WORK.
( LAUGHTER ) FACIAL HAIR THAT'S NOT QUITE A
FULL GOATEE, BUT JUST A LITTLE LINE THE GOES DOWN THE CHIN.
( LAUGHTER ) AND OF COURSE, THE FINAL THING
THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT...
BRETT KAVANAUGH.
