MondaySeptember 2, 2019 Movies Sports News Specials Powered by


1.On someTV outlets, this would be some-
thing of a thing, but onNetflix it’s just another
day. On Friday, the streaming service will re-
lease“The Spy,”a six-e pisode miniseriesstar-
ring SachaBaronCohen and written and direct-
ed by Gideon Raff (creator of “Homeland”).
Let’s see if it’s any good. The guerrilla comic
stars as real-lifeMossad spyEli Cohen, who
goes deep undercover in the 1960s as an elite in
Syria — andgets a littlestuck there.“Taking off
the clothes doesn’t workany more,”Cohen’s Co-
hen (!) says about his fake identity in the trailer.
“I can’t put himaway.” The ca st includesNoah
Emmerich from“The Americans.”


2.This one’s gonna require a post-viewing
“Silkwood” shower. OnMonday, Hulu is releas-
ing“Untouchable,”a do cumentary about Har-
vey Weinstein that chronicles his rise and fall —
a too-familiarstory at this point — but also fea-
tures interviews with some of the women vic-
timized by him. Directed byUrsula Macfarlane,
the film had its premiereat Sundance.


3.He saw a comic opportunity and took it.
WhenConan O’Brien heardPresidentTrump
inquire about trying to buy Greenland, he de-
cided topay a visit to the Danish territory,
greeting local fansat the airport with, “Hi, I’m
here to buy yourcountry.” The resulting hour-
long special,“ConanWithout Borders: Green-
land,”airs on TBS onTuesday at 10 p.m. Ac-
cording to O’Brien, when asked if they want
Trump to buy their land, the answersranged
from “No” to “NO!!!”


4.Queen, EltonJohn, and now.. .Hulu is

premiering a series based on the origin story of
the legendary hip-hop groupWu-TangClan.
Created andwritten byWu-Tang’s own RZA,
“Wu-Tang: An AmericanSaga” is set inearly
1990sNew York. The castincludesAshton
Sandersas RZA, trying to bringhis friendswith
him to the world of music, as well as Shameik
Moore, Siddiq Saunderson,Marcus Callender,
Zolee Griggs, and Erika Alexander.Three epi-
sodes willstream onWednesday, with the re-
maining seven arriving weekly.

5.Amazon bought“Late Night”at the Sun-
dance FilmFestival, hoping for a big hit. After
all, t he film was written byMindy Kaling and
starsKalingandEmmaThompson,alongwith
Hugh Dancy and John Lithgow. But,even with
somegood reviews (it has a 71 onMetacritic), it
didn’t take offat the box office. Amazon report-
edly paid $13 million for it, and $33 million
more on marketin g, and it haspulled in only
$15.5 million in the States and Canada. Do the
math; it’s not great. On Friday, Amazon will
make the movieavailable on itsstreaming ser-
vice.

6.We’ve already had reality shows about
having sex in a box onstage (“Sex Box”), subur-
ban swinging (“Real Life Wife Swap”), and
prostitution (“Gigolos”). Soit shouldcome as
no surprise that Showtimeis premiering a reali-
ty show ab out theweekly therapy sessions of re-
lationships in trouble. Called“CouplesThera-
py,”and featuring“world-class therapist” Dr.
OrnaGuralnik, it premieresFriday at 10 p.m.
P.S. It’s the team behind the documentary
“Weiner.”

Q.Should I tellmy son s (ages 19 and 21) that
their father has elected to bequeath them half of
what heis bequeathing their three half-siblings
— aged 32, 37, and 39?
The siblingsare close and have astrong bond.
They all love their father.
This information only came to light recentlyat
our divorce trial, duringmy husband’s testimony.
He was answering questions posed by his own
lawyer.
I’m shocked and heartbroken, but I don’t
think I should tell our children.
It somehow feels wrong. Some friends dis-
agree.
I needsomesage advice.
CAUGHT IN A DILEMMA
A.No, you should not discuss this estate matter
with your sons.Fresh into a divorce fromtheir fa-
ther, it is information that is easily misunder-
stood or misinterpreted.
Importantl y, your soon-to-be ex couldchange
his mind (and change his wi ll) repeatedly as time
goes on.
Also, unless this becomes a matter for the
court to decide in your divorce proceedi ngs, how
your ex divides hisestate post-divorce is not your
business. And it is not your sons’ business.
I’m going to speculate on yourex’s possible
motivations, and ofcourse you and/or yo ur law-
yer could try to communicate with him about it.
Hearing hisreasons for doing this might help you
to understand and accepthis choice.
It occurs to me that he is making an assump-
tion that since heis (perhaps) surrendering half
his income — and other assets — acquired during
his marriage to you (in the divorce), youwill also
be leaving your assets to your sons after your
death, so additional wealth willeventually be
passed to the sons throughyou.
Will you divide your estate equally with your
sons and their half-siblings? I presume not, but
you shouldthink about this.
Because of the differential in their ages, he
may be trying to take into account the “timeval-
ue” of the money for the younger sons — in short,
becausetheyareyounger,theywillhavetheir
wealth longer and can grow it larger than their
older siblings.
Treating childreneven-handedly doesn’t al-
ways translate into treating them equally. Misun-
derstandings and fights over money can do irrep-
arable damage to familyrelationships.
Do your best to have a peaceful divorce. Al-
ways encourage your sons to maintain their close

sibling relationships — matters of wealth aside,
they are all very lucky in this regard, and this
should always bethe most important thing to
you.

Q.I’ve been seeing a girl for a few years now.We
both have busy schedules and try to juggle tosee
each other, although probablynot enough to
make us both happy.We have a very intimate re-
lationship, and we tell each other how muchwe
love each other.
But then something happened. I wantedto
see her this week andshe suddenly wasn’t avail-
able for the whole week.
After I pressedher on why I couldn’t see her I
found that her ex-boyfriend, whom she used to
live with, wasstaying in herstudio apartment
with h er. Also,she just left for a two-week camp-
ing trip with the same friend and they’re sharing
a two-person tent. She swears they are just good
friends, but I am so hurt and jealous.
My gut tells me they arestill intimate. She
swears they’re not. What do I do? Shegets very
defensive when I try and talk toher about this.
WONDERING BOYFRIEND
A.Your girlfriendgets defensive because she has
something to defend: her choice to spend over-
nights and vacations with herex-boyfriend, in-
stead of with you.
All of this is somewhat immaterial, however.
She is choosing to create communicative distance
from you, and also to physically leave you, be-
causeshe prefers to be with someoneelse.
She and her friend are definitely intimate —in
that she is privately connected with him,as well
as excluding you in the process.
Given all of this, does it really matter whether
they are also havingsex?

Q.I appreciatedthe letter from “Contented,” who
basically describedmy own life of beingraised in
an alcoholic and abusivehome.
I understand thatpeoplewho have had “nor-
mal” ch ildhoods may not understand how pain-
ful this is, as well aswhat a relief it isto finally say
“goodbye” to these relationships.
I did it and I’veneve r looked back.
SURVIVOR
A.It’s hard to qualify what a “normal” childhood
actually is.Many people need to sever ties, in ser-
vice totheir own mental and emotional health.
