Benny Chan’s A Moment of Romance swiftly establishes the narrow perimeter of the world that triad member Wah Dee (Andy Lau) inhabits. Though Dee cuts a profile of louche cool in his denim jackets and sleek motorcycle, the gangster getaway driver moves through the emptiest and least exotic realms of the criminal underworld. His stomping grounds generally consist of rundown buildings and day-rate hotels where he works and sleeps, and his only visible means of letting off steam consists of heading to a nearby quarry to watch a kind of demolition derby with all the other fast-living losers who occupy the bottom rungs of triad life. He treats his bosses with the usual differences demanded by organized crime’s rigid power structures, and they in turn speak to him as little more than an indentured servant.
When one of Dee’s superiors, Trumpet (Wong Kwong-leung), stages a jewelry store robbery,...

Paul McCartney was the bassist for The Beatles, but he played far more instruments than just the bass guitar. Even on the band’s records, McCartney jumped from instrument to instrument, taking over for his bandmates. He’s a highly accomplished musician, as evidenced by his mastery over dozens of instruments.
Paul McCartney | Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images How many instruments can Paul McCartney play?
McCartney has become one of the most well-known bass players in the world, but it’s far from the only instrument he plays. He first impressed John Lennon with his mastery of the guitar. While growing up, he also knew how to play piano and trumpet.
Since then, his mastery of different instruments has expanded. McCartney has played over 40 instruments, including harpsichord, harmonica, mandolin, cello, and ukulele. He put his skill to use on his 2020 album McCartney III. He worked on it during the coronavirus...

About 3,000 dapper dogs descend on New York City for the 147th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show May 6-9. After a two-year stint in Tarrytown, New York, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the show is back in the boroughs at its new venue, the Usta Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens. A bloodhound named Gchb Ch Flessner’s Toot My Own Horn (pictured) — “Trumpet” for short — won Best in Show in 2022. It’s the first win for a bloodhound, and only the seventh win from the Hound Group. We fetched some facts about the most popular and prestigious of dog shows: 1. The Wkc Dog Show is the second-longest continuously held sporting event in the U.S., behind only the Kentucky Derby. 2. The American Kennel Club recognizes 212 breeds of dog. So your puggle, Chiweenie, labradoodle or bullshih may be a wonderful companion, but it’s no show dog. Also, since...

Well, good luck with that. Consummate New York Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld is blaming Timmy Trumpet’s live performance of the song “Narco” at Citi Field last week for the Mets recent swoon.
The team had a 10.5 game lead in its division in June. As of tonight, they’re now just a half-game up on the defending champion and eternal Mets nemesis, the Atlanta Braves. Max Scherzer is hurt, certain bats appear slow, and as every Mets fans knows in their bones, bad things can happen in September.
Seinfeld sent out several social media messages today responding to an Sny post about the Mets being tied with the Braves atop the Nl East after Tuesday’s action.
“I blame that stupid Trumpet performance,” Seinfeld wrote. “Celebrating in season. We haven’t won anything yet. Bad mojo.”
“Narco” has become the theme song for shut-down closer Edwin Diaz. Timmy Trumpet was...
