Dead Boy Detectives was initially developed for television by HBO Max in 2021. After a long and winding road of purgatory, the series eventually is reaching Netflix in early 2023. (Please note that this has nothing to do with Netflix licensing Max properties as of late.) The adaptation of DC Comics has a cult following that can tap into every popular young demographic.
Now, every comic book property will continuously develop in the ever-competitive streaming landscape. This makes it more surprising how ordinary, at times, Dead Boy Detectives can be, considering Netflix’s binge model. Dead Boy Detectives is like a purgatory Hardy Boys procedural, with the boys trying to solve a new case weekly.
However, as the series progresses, you see its overall potential. You hope the streaming giant will allow Dead Boy Detectives to achieve that potential.

Bringing Up Bates: Erin & Alyssa Bates’ Alleged Feud
Erin and Alyssa’s alleged feud has been around for quite some time. In February 2021, some Redditors discussed how the two never mentioned each other despite posting photos of their kids with Gil and Kelly Jo during a family lunch.

In 1989's "Road House," lifelong nightclub cooler/bouncer/warrior John Dalton (Patrick Swayze) shrugs off his various injuries with a sly phrase: "Pain don't hurt." Yet his lady love, Dr. Elizabeth Clay (Kelly Lynch), warns him that while he may shrug away pain right now, years later his injuries will catch up to him and pain will start to hurt very, very much. That's a truth which many athletes, servicepeople, and actors find themselves facing in their middle age and up, one which younger versions of themselves would do well to heed.
One such actor facing that reality is Sylvester Stallone, a star whose career off-screen greatly mirrors his typical journey on-screen. Just like the character closest to his real self, Rocky Balboa, Stallone does his best work when he's got something to prove, whether to himself, to Hollywood, the public, or some combination thereof. It's a huge motivator but...

Among the final arrivals at the 2024 Grammys, Taylor Swift instantly sent social media into overdrive with her red-carpet look — before revving them up even further from the Grammy stage later in the evening.
Many on X (formerly Twitter) quickly picked up on a conversation between Swift and her longtime publicist, Tree Paine, on the star-studded Grammy red carpet.
“Do you need to set my watch?” Swift asked on the red carpet.
Paine replied, “Nope, it’s already perfect. Midnight.”

Taylor Swift’s representative, Tree Paine, has lambasted rumors that she and her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, were married at some point before splitting in April after a six-year relationship.
Paine responded to an anonymous X account, DeuxMoi, which claimed that Swift and Alwyn had a marriage ceremony in 2020 or 2021.
“Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi. There was Never a marriage or ceremony of Any kind. This is an insane thing to post. It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these,” Paine wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2014 Vertigo Comics title "Dead Boy Detectives", as part of his "Sandman" universe, was canceled at HBO Max, but picked up by Netflix, following deceased teens 'Charles Rowland' and 'Edwin Paine', who stay on earth as spirits to investigate supernatural crimes, streaming April 2024:
"...'Edwin Paine' died at his boarding school in 1916, after which he went to 'Hell', where he was stalked by an unseen menace through a long corridor for several decades. Eventually, Hell was emptied of its residents, and as a result of this, the boarding school was overrun by the souls of its past teachers and pupils who had escaped Hell.

Taylor Swift’s publicist Tree Paine is speaking out against Deuxmoi, the anonymous Instagram account that has gained a following in recent years for its celebrity gossip posts, often running anonymous messages from sources.
The site posted to its Instagram story earlier Thursday a strongly worded post that insisted Taylor Swift had gotten married, seemingly to ex Joe Alwyn, in a U.K. ceremony in either 2020 or 2021.
“She Did have a ceremony in either 2020 or 2021 in the UK and it was described to me as a ‘marriage’ by more than one person. It was Never made legal,” Deuxmoi wrote on its Instagram story over a post from a user speculating about Swift relationships. “I will die on this hill! Put it on my tombstone!

Taylor Swift’s longtime publicist Tree Paine took a rare move into the public spotlight last night to slap back at a claim by Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi that the Eras Tour star and former beau Joe Alwyn had some sort of non-legal marriage or commitment ceremony several years ago.
“Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi,” Paine posted on X/Twitter late last night. “There was Never a marriage or ceremony of Any kind. This is an insane thing to post. It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these.”
The strongly worded response followed claims by Deuxmoi that Taylor and Alwyn, who ended their romantic relationship earlier this year, had a “ceremony in either 2020 or 2021 in the U.K. and it was described to me as a ‘marriage’ by more than one person.

"The Expendables" franchise has — smartly — allowed its titular roster of tough, never-say-die mercenaries to include women, as demonstrated by 2014's "The Expendables 3" adding Ronda Rousey to the crew and the upcoming "Expend4bles" (type that five times fast) bringing in Megan Fox and Levy Tran.
However, while making the first "Expendables" back in 2010, that wasn't quite the case. That film only features two female characters: Lacy (Charisma Carpenter), the cheating girlfriend of Jason Statham's Lee Christmas, and Sandra (Giselle Itié), the daughter of a South American dictator who wants to use the Expendables to help overthrow her father and his ex-CIA puppet master, Munroe (Eric Roberts).
Although Sandra is an integral part of the film, she's no trained mercenary, and ends up being captured by the bad guys and tortured for information. It must've been difficult for the Brazilian actress to deal with the atmosphere of testosterone-fueled competition surrounding her,...

Hobart, Aug 26 (Ians) Former Australia Test skipper Tim Paine revealed the team management is considering to move David Warner from his usual opening position to down the order ahead of Odi World Cup, happening in India from October 5 to November 19.
Warner has gone past the half-century mark in seven of his last 16 Odi innings. In Australia’s last Odi against India at Chennai, they retained the attacking opening combination of Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head.
Warner, who missed first two ODIs due to recovery from an elbow injury which ended his time in Border-Gavaskar Trophy early, came out to at number four, in order to deal with India’s left-arm spinners in Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, and made 23 off 31 balls.
“Now that’s something I have heard. It’s going to be imperative to get off to really fast starts and right now, Travis Head and Mitch Marsh...

Hobart, Aug 25 (Ians) After the Adelaide Strikers announced that Tim Paine will be joining the side for the upcoming Bbl season as an assistant coach, the former Australian Test captain believes his time with the Strikers is taking him out of his comfort zone and learning new things in a fresh set-up will set him up well for future.
Paine, who played 35 Tests for Australia and captained them in 23 of those games, retired from all forms of cricket at the end of the previous domestic season. Since then, he’s jumped into coaching stints, as a part-time coach of the Australia U19 side and the Australia A team that plays New Zealand A in a series commencing next week.
“I just got the opportunity to do it to be honest. I thought long and hard about it, for me like a lot of people, I’ve been at Cricket Tasmania since I was 12 years old,...

Hobart, Aug 18 (Ians) Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine has found Ben Stokes’ return to the Odi side ahead of the World Cup in India from October 5 to November 19 interesting, saying that it seemed the all-rounder had a pick-and-choose option of the events he wants to play.
Earlier this week, Stokes reversed his decision to retire from Odi cricket, which was made last year, for England’s upcoming series against New Zealand at home. It means that Stokes, Player of the Match in the 2019 World Cup final at Lord’s, will be available for the side’s defence of their title in India.
“Ben Stokes coming out of one-day retirement, I found that interesting. It was a bit of, ‘Me, me, me’, there isn’t it? It was, ‘I’ll pick, and I’ll choose where I want to play and when I want to play’, and ‘I’ll play...

London, July 24 (Ians) Australia’s veteran spinner Nathan Lyon backed the decision to leave young off-spinner Todd Murphy out of the playing eleven for the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford, saying his non-inclusion worked as a decent selection as the visitors needed an additional batter in the rain-hit match.
Murphy’s exclusion from the playing eleven at Manchester took many by surprise, with the legendary Steve Waugh calling the decision as a “mistake” prior to the start of the match. But Lyon, who was ruled out of the Ashes due to a torn calf sustained at Lord’s, thought otherwise.
“It’s really hard for me to comment on that. You look at it now, obviously, they went off conditions based and with the forecast in mind with that selection. Having the extra batter in the second innings was pretty handy if they happened to get on last night,...

London, July 24 (Ians) Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine has claimed that skipper Pat Cummins and left-arm fast-bowling spearhead Mitchell Starc look “really tired” ahead of the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval, starting from Thursday.
Australia have retained the Ashes 2-1, with the Test at The Oval now only three days away. Cummins has carried a heavy workload, playing in all of Australia’s Tests since the World Test Championship Final in June. Starc, on the other hand, hurt his shoulder while fielding at Manchester.
“What worries me, not just about Pat but also with ‘Starcy’ going into the fifth Test, is they both look really tired. Not just looking at them with their body language, I thought the speeds of their bowling (were an issue). When Patty is bowling low 130s (km/h), I think that’s a concern.”

Australia are currently leading five-game Ashes 2-1.
Boland has picked only two wickets in the two Tests he’s played, compared to Hazlewood taking eight wickets in the same period of time. At the third Ashes Test in Headingley, Mitchell Marsh marked his return to Test cricket with a century in the first innings and picked a few scalps as Green sat out due to a low-grade hamstring injury.

London, June 22 (Ians) Former Test captain Tim Paine pointed out that Australia have the advantage over England in the Ashes, citing the tourists ability to play at different tempos compared to their hosts, who are content in playing an ultra-attacking form of play.
Captain Pat Cummins led Australia to a thrilling victory in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston through an unbeaten 44 and a match-winning ninth-wicket stand of 55 with Nathan Lyon to chase down 281 on the last day at Edgbaston. Australia’s win came following Ben Stokes’ daring first-innings declaration on 393/8 on day one’s play.

Frank Capra made James Stewart into the heart of Hollywood. In their second movie together, "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington," Stewart played Jefferson Smith, a "Boy Ranger" leader in an unnamed Western state. Smith is appointed to fill one of the state's Senate seats after its holder dies. When he arrives in DC, his naïveté and kindness turn him into a reformer. After he's framed for corruption, he embarks on a 24-hour filibuster (a speech on the Senate Floor that cannot be interrupted so long as a Senator has something to say), attempting to rally the people's attention and sway the Senate's conscience.
Smith grows more and more exhausted as the scene goes on, so Stewart's performance had to reflect this. In particular, Capra wanted Stewart's voice to be as hoarse as Smith's should be after speaking for 24 hours straight. To make the voice right, Stewart recruited a doctor -- not to safeguard his health,...

The new live-action, supernatural TV series "Dead Boy Detectives", adapting Neil Gaiman's 2014 Vertigo Comics title, streams Fall 2023 on HBO Max:
"...'Edwin Paine' died at his boarding school in 1916, after which he went to 'Hell', where he was stalked by an unseen menace through a long corridor for several decades. Eventually, Hell was emptied of its residents, and as a result of this, the boarding school was overrun by the souls of its past teachers and pupils who had escaped Hell.
"'Charles Rowland' was the sole living student at the school during these events, as all the other students had gone home for the holidays. A few of the teachers who stayed behind were supervising him, but one by one they fell victim to various deaths.
"Ultimately Rowland did not survive. He next appeared as a ghost and decided to forego going to the afterlife in preference for prospective future adventures with Paine.

Melbourne, Dec 24 (Ians) Veteran Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has been handed a one-match suspension from the ongoing Season 12 of the Big Bash League (Bbl|12) for swearing during a match.
Wade, who is part of the Australia white-ball team in the T20 World Cup at home this season, is the captain of Hobart Hurricanes in Bbl|12 and will miss the Christmas eve encounter with Melbourne Renegades at Melbourne.
Cricket Australia released a statement on Saturday saying Wade had been served one suspension point after incurring three level 1 Code of Conduct breaches within the past 18 months.
“The charges in that period relate to two instances of the use of an audible obscenity and one instance of abuse of cricket equipment,” the statement said.
Wade’s suspension has opened up an opportunity for former Australian captain Tim Paine to make a comeback into the squad. The Hurricanes brought in Paine into the squad...

Hobart, Nov 2 (Ians) Former Australia Test skipper Tim Paine believes Cricket Australia (CA) cast him aside too easily following the ‘sexting scandal’, involving him and a former Cricket Tasmania employee, which came in public domain weeks before the Ashes at home.
Paine stepped down as skipper following the disclosure, with pace bowler Pat Cummins emerging as CA’s choice to lead the Test side.
On Wednesday, Paine opened up on his departure from the team setup, indicating CA let him go too quickly in the wake of the episode that happened during the 2017/2018 Ashes series but came in public domain four years later.
The 37-year-old Paine has since been cleared of any wrongdoing. The wicketkeeper-batter recently released his autobiography, ‘The Price Paid’, where he has reportedly shed light on the saga and the treatment he received from CA.
“Clearly I do (feel Cricket Australia cast me aside too easily), but...

Sydney, Oct 24 (Ians) Former Australia captain Tim Paine has accused South Africa of ball tampering in the Test after the Sandpaper-gate scandal that led to the dismissal as captain and vice-captain of Steve Smith and David Warner in 2018.
In his explosive allegations, Paine said this act by the Proteas was covered up by the South African match broadcasters.
Paine made the explosive claims in his autobiography The Paid Price, with the former Test captain becoming the first player to lift the lid on the 2018 Cape Town Test in a tell-all book, the Australian Associate Press said in a report.
Paine, who was forced to step down in 2021 in the wake of a sexting incident with a former Cricket Tasmania colleague that happened in 2017, denied that the plan for Cameron Bancroft to use sandpaper on the ball during the third Test of the series against South Africa at Cape Town was hatched at a team meeting.

Hobart, Oct 4 (Ians) Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine is set for Sheffield Shield return with the wicketkeeper-batter confirmed to play for Tasmania in their fixture against Queensland on October 6.
This will be the 37-year-old Paine’s maiden first-class outing in 18 months. A report in cricket.com.au said on Tuesday that while the player “was not offered a state contract by Tasmania for the 2022/23 season after walking away from the game last summer, he will line up for the Tigers against Queensland at the Allan Border Field (in Brisbane) on Thursday”.
The report added that Paine will be the wicketkeeper as Matthew Wade is with the Australia squad for the T20 World Cup, while other wicket-keeping options, Ben McDermott and Jake Doran, will play as batters.
“He (Paine) has been training with us the last couple of months,” Tasmania coach Jeff Vaughan was quoted as saying in the report.

Sydney, Aug 30 (Ians) Former Australia Test skipper Tim Paine will likely make an appearance for Hobart Hurricanes in the upcoming edition of the Big Bash League (Bbl) with reports quoting team coach Jeff Vaughan as saying the 37-year-old could potentially fill the final vacant spot on the franchise’s list.
Panie had stepped down as the Australia Test captain last year ahead of the Ashes series following the “sexting” saga involving him and a former Cricket Tasmania official in 2007. Pace bowler Pat Cummins replaced him, guiding Australia to a 4-0 win against England at home.
Paine is also set to return to playing first-class cricket for Tasmania in the 2022-2023 season following fruitful discussions with Cricket Tasmania CEO Dom Baker.

Melbourne, Aug 22 (Ians) Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine is set to return to play first-class cricket for Tasmania in the 2022-2023 season following fruitful discussions with Cricket Tasmania CEO Dom Baker, sen.com.au reported on Monday.
The 37-year-old, who had stepped down ahead of the Ashes series last year in the wake of the sexting scandal involving a former Cricket Tasmania official, has reportedly started training over the last couple of weeks.
The report said the wicketkeeper-batter looked “fresh” and has shown “excellent touch” after such a long layoff.
Paine’s playing career was thought to be over after he was omitted from Tasmania’s list of contracted players in May this year and it seemed unlikely he would find a route back into the team. After taking time away from cricket following his captaincy resignation, Paine returned to the Tasmanian cricket fold in an unofficial coaching role late last season.
