Conversations with a hit man

2 It should have been a night for Jim Leslie to savor. On July 8, 1976, the Louisiana State Senate passed what was known as the Right to Work Bill. One of the most fiercely debated pieces of legislation in decades, the law did away with mandatory union membership and allowed businesses to hire nonunion workers. Given the interests involved, this was a staggering achievement. Labor had a muscular presence in Louisiana, largely because it was controlled by organized crime. Developers were ordere

The Sets of ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Look, Well, Fantastic

The decision to set The Fantastic Four: First Steps in a retro, 1960s-inspired world couldn’t have come easy. For one, it meant the entire film would take place in a multiverse away from the traditional Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, it meant the production would have to build all of these sets from the ground up. We still don’t know much about the multiversal madness of Fantastic Four, but in a new video just released by Marvel, we do know about its sets. Director Matt Shakman, along with pr
