The world, in perspective.

Emmy award-winning actor Tom Skerritt, known for his roles in TV series Picket Fences and films such as Top Gun and Alien, has died aged 93.

A new study claims that the pages of the Voynich Manuscript, thought to be written by several different scribes in 16th-century Europe, alternate irregularly. It may change the way codebreakers approach the text

Skerritt was Captain Dallas in<em> Alien</em>, Viper in <em>Top Gun</em>, and a small town sheriff in the TV series <em>Picket Fences</em>.

His rugged good looks, commanding presence and versatility led to key roles in “M*A*S*H” and “Steel Magnolias,” and he won an Emmy on “Picket Fences.”

The actor died on Wednesday of natural causes, his family said.

By turning Ali G into the doofus antihero of his own absurdist saga, "Who Iz I?" essentially becomes Sacha Baron Cohen’s version of a "Saturday Night Live" movie, like "MacGruber" or "Stuart Saves His Family" or "A Night at the Roxbury." The film has scattered funny moments, but it’s dawdling and cumbersome and far less relevant than it thinks.

After I saw Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest mind-bending comedy Ali G: Who Iz I?, I immediately thought that this movie is proof there should be a brand new Oscar category created, for Best Clearances.
