Midge is floored because her husband lied to her, she's looking at unexpected homelessness, has unwittingly been living "hand-to-mouth" for four years with only her father-in-law secretly keeping her family afloat, and Moishe made some offensive comments about her aimless, Bon-Bon-full single future.
Bonnie's damage intersects with that of Alyssa and James, and she joins them in a violent misadventure that recapitulates some of the motifs of the first season — aimless road tripping through a backwoods British countryside reminiscent of "Twin Peaks," severe harm to an adult male who probably deserves it.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was one of the greatest gaming experiences not just of the year but of the past 30 years, evoking a unique feeling of aimless adventure with an undercurrent of immense purpose only made possible by the series' 30-year history.
I've heard that many Mr. Robot die-hards don't love season two because Elliot has been so generally aimless, but it's a shame that they're not responding to Darlene, Angela, and Dom, who have all been involved in the kinds of weekly stories that once kept Elliot's arc float.
While this is the furthest thing possible from a message picture, "Baden Baden" does make a pertinent statement, one rare in movies today: that being ostensibly aimless in your mid-20s not only isn't the worst thing in the world, but it can also be kind of fun.
Why did so many smart, wealthy women enjoy a show in which, in the words of the media critic Jennifer Pozner, "prospective princesses sit on their aimless, tiny behinds, fend off fellow ladies in waiting, and hope to be whisked off by a network-approved knight in shining Armani"?
Complicating matters are his volatile ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga), who has returned to town to lure him back to his former life of crime (it's exactly that vague), and an aimless vampire (Joseph Gilgun) who keeps making unholy messes while Jesse's trying to create some kind of community.
Bearing a resemblance to AMC's comic-book adaptation "Preacher" in its intriguing but confounding, all-over-the-place tone, the series stars Samuel Barnett as the title character -- who preaches "the interconnectedness of all things" -- and Elijah Wood as Todd, the cash-strapped, aimless lad who reluctantly becomes his assistant.
World Premiere Beach Rats / U.S.A. (Director and screenwriter: Eliza Hittman) — An aimless teenager on the outer edges of Brooklyn struggles to escape his bleak home life and navigate questions of self-identity, as he balances his time between his delinquent friends, a potential new girlfriend, and older men he meets online.
The politicians' failure to allow necessary reforms has meant, over the past quarter of a century, the demagogic and aimless premierships of Silvio Berlusconi, the floundering of center-left governments, reformist but continually undercut from within their own ranks, and technocratic governments with no popular base and thus limited leverage.
Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are fantastic as the aimless but lovable Romy and Michelle (respectively), who want to impress their high school classmates for their 10th reunion, but the cast is packed with familiar faces like Alan Cumming, Janeane Garofalo, and even a brief and mysterious turn from Justin Theroux.
Another study followed more than 6,000 individuals over 14 years and found that those with greater purpose were 15 percent less likely to die than those who were aimless, and that having purpose was protective across the life span — for people in their 20s as well as those in their 70s.
What qualifies as wild to a kid on a gap year (riding a bus through Central America, say), a family with children (a home stay with a local family) or a novice traveler on her first trip abroad (opting out of an afternoon group tour for an aimless stroll) is different.
In what Gretchen Gonzales-Davidson alluded to as consistent with larger midwestern niceness, the openers of the festival were one of it's largest draws, a super-group reunion of sorts by Universal Indians, a 90s experimental concern who always managed to maintain a deeply weird drugginess to their sound without being aimless.
"There is the Beirut of the dead superimposed on the Beirut of the living," Jaber's translator has said of "The Mehlis Report," which takes the form of aimless walks as the protagonist, an architect, clinically evaluates passing women and takes stock of his city as it finally rebuilds after the civil war.
Written by Samantha McIntyre, "Unicorn Store" stars Larson as Kit, an aimless, artsy young woman, who's just about to settle for a dull-but-stable life in a corporate cubicle when she gets an offer from a mysterious stranger (played by Samuel L. Jackson), who says he can sell her a unicorn.
It's populated by familiar types lifted from the movies: the mysterious femmes fatales, the free-spirited artists, the topless, eccentric, bird-raising neighbors, the wisecracking friends, and the grizzled, aimless detective type who finds himself always one step behind a plot that turns out to be much wilder than he could have anticipated.
Fuck you if you think it's "lightweight" or "confusing" or "aimless" or "ho-hum"—it's the hard-earned proof of the happiness she's achieved after years of fretting about the asinine shaming of 2010's excellent Maya for the crime of following Kala, which was only the greatest album of the century.
The subject of Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg's video "The Substitute" (2019), created by The Mill, with behavioral research by DeepMind, the heavy-lidded animal's aimless movements appear to be the product of boredom, confusion, and sadness, as though it were a caged zoo animal or a hapless character in a Samuel Beckett play.
A Peter Stampfel and the Brooklyn & Lower Manhattan Fiddle/Mandolin Swarm: Holiday for Strings (Don Giovanni) Not to be confused with  the former Holy Modal Rounder's 2014 album—​same label, same cover artist, but by the Brooklyn & Lower Manhattan Banjo Squadron and in my reluctant judgment most of the way to an aimless mess.
Norms vary not by place but by positionality; the fact that Bahri has undertaken such a strange project and also lives in France seems to confirm this for everyone he speaks to — to undertake something similarly, wonderfully aimless, they imply, would mean they'd have to remove themselves from the daily realities of their country.
With Payne set to direct the film version of "My Saga"— Knausgaard's aimless article for The New York Times Magazine about an American road trip that is not to be confused with his monumental and far more interestingly titled novel My Struggle—we can expect the chain-smoking Norwegian to become a somber mascot for humanity.
The Stardust character grew aimless, and Rhodes did his best to hiss and emote and wrestle his way through the mid-card, making a feud with Stephen Amell work and helping get over debuting micro-hero Neville, all the while making what should have been a character ready-made for curtain-jerking into a legitimate mid-card act.
Why in the world these creatures, immortal and perfect, should be so gloomy and aimless was beyond us, yet they grew so slowly into the unprecedented lives we had thought they would seize instantly as their right that it seemed the long long future brooding over them was so heavy they could hardly bear it forward one little step.
Set in provincial Burgundy in the early 433s, "A Sport and a Pastime," the 1967 novel by the American writer James Salter, depicts a love affair between an aimless Yale dropout named Dean and an 18-year-old local shop girl, Anne-Marie, through the lushly fragmented, elegiac recollections of an unnamed narrator who knew them.
Sometimes the topics are just topics, as in last month's "Twenty Something," with titles from Bertrand Blier's corrosive bad-boys-on-the-road "Going Places" (co-starring a young and hunky Gérard Depardieu in 1974) to Sean Baker's "Starlet" (2012), about an aimless young woman in the fringes of California's porn industry (a very fringy place to be).
One such series, which The New York Times named one of the best on TV last year, was AMC's "Lodge 49," which follows the misadventures of a down-and-out surfer, Dud (Wyatt Russell), who, moneyless, jobless and unapologetically aimless, somehow winds up finding purpose in a fraternal lodge that is home to eccentric Californians like himself.
And in the first season, the show's creators, Bryan Fuller and Michael Green, trailed Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), an aimless ex-con, and Mr. Wednesday, an eccentric grifter, on a serpentine cross-country road trip to visit the increasingly irrelevant old gods — and make the case for war against the upstarts trying to usurp their power.
That's both a blessing and a curse for Amazon's Good Omens, which is at its best whenever Aziraphale and Crowley share the screen, but which tends to feel aimless whenever the narrative switches to focus on the other cast members: the meddling demons, the officious angel Gabriel (Jon Hamm in purple contacts), a prophetic witch and her descendent, Anathema Device (Adria Arjona).
No disrespect to Abbi and Ilana—who've been making one of TV's most purely pleasurable shows for four seasons now—but their young, white, overeducated, underemployed, adventure-prone hedonist characters have an obvious ancestor in Faris's Jane F. Shot over about three weeks in Los Angeles, Smiley Face recounts a spectacularly disastrous day in Jane's neurotic, aimless and frequently intoxicated life.
In the cosmology of The Process, the worst years are not the ones with the fewest wins—the last three, when the team has won 37 of 246 games, or 247 including their opening night loss on Wednesday—but the ones that came before, when the team was stuck in aimless and unshakeable mediocrity, first with and then without Allen Iverson.
There, amid a clatter of trays and a general conversational din, the soft-spoken chatterbox sketched out the unlikely path he had taken from being an aimless and indifferent student, to "that obnoxious voice" consumers across the world hear when call-center dialers manage to entrap them ("I sold mobile phones for AT&T"), to the great hope for Indian design.
Two narratives run side by side: One concerns a couple — Nadine (Dree Hemingway of "Starlet") and Lewis (Lakeith Stanfield from "Atlanta" and "Get Out") — trying to stay together after an incalculable loss; the other follows a mayor, Roy (Robert Wisdom of "The Wire"), as he protects an aimless youth, Myron (Sam Dillon), from recruitment by a human trafficker, Doughboy (Leonard Earl Howze).
This very weekend, Shia LaBeouf's latest movie, American Honey, will expand to a theater near you—and boy, is it terrific: A nearly three-hour-long travelogue about a bunch of aimless but (mostly) goodhearted teens and twenty-somethings who drink, rap, and scam their way across the sun-scorched, strip-malled Midwest, all the while trying to sell magazine subscriptions door-to-door.
Wiener-Dog (who is also called Doody and Cancer) is spayed and nearly euthanized, strapped with explosives and subjected to a cross-country car trip with an aimless young not-quite-couple (Greta Gerwig and Kieran Culkin), one of whom seems to be Dawn Wiener herself, the heroine of Mr. Solondz's "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and as such an almost mythical figure in his imaginative world.
They're a little aimless, looking for meaning and purpose and authenticity in their work and relationships, but they're also able to do that because they're living in the years just before the recession, during a time when it was plausible for a young artist to live cheaply in a place like Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which now is all high-rises and luxury apartments that I can't afford.
The aimless protagonist, one Jeffrey Lockhart, is whisked into the wastes of ex-Soviet Central Asia to meet with his estranged father, Ross, a finance billionaire who has channeled much of his fortune into the development of the Convergence, a vast underground cryonics project: For the right (unfathomably high) price, men and women will have their bodies frozen so that they might be revived in a future where technology permits them to live eternally.
I did not want to talk about my despicable bits, the parts of my consciousness I'd been dousing in motherwort tincture and pointedly ignoring: the sense of erratic nihilism I'd recently developed, which has me constantly vacillating between the impulse to just give up and the impulse to behave insanely because nothing matters anyway, or the fact that I'm deeply bored with my life, stressed and aimless, but too afraid to make a significant change.
Opening with a plucked guitar riff that falls like drops of early morning rain onto hard concrete, Solomon begins with a tale of reminiscing under moonlight, of "seeing a lost boy so aimless, trying to figure out what the game is," as he walks past what used to be the Heygate Estate—a housing block in his local area of Elephant and Castle that's been bulldozed to make way for soulless luxury flats.
Arriving from my dreams into a still and quiet morning; laying silently in bed for an hour after; having coffee plus an aimless walk down 125th Street and saying good morning to the people I pass; a few uninterrupted hours in the studio; a few hours in the library; a vogueing session with some friends; dinner and drinks with a good sis; and ending the night shaking my kitty kat to some Jersey club music.
The changing city plays much more of a thematic role in Generation Q than it did in previous seasons, when the characters seemed to exist in an idyllic, wealthy enclave immune from the inequity and disorder of the outside world: Bette is running for mayor because she's passionate about ending the opioid and housing crises, while Shane, aimless, unemployed, and über-rich, considers buying and reviving a onetime gay bar that has morphed over the years into a straight sports-bro spot.
Or, if you're me, it can reflect the imagery or sense of South Florida, the place where I lived before I moved to the UK. There are certain artists that evoke this place, and when I hear them my entire teenage existence loops around in my head through the medium of American cinema's most wistful clichés: aimless driving in an old, dented PT cruiser, choking on Marlboro reds in car parks, feelings of removal from the things around you and fantasising about social stability.
Recalling her early interest in architecture in New York City, she remembered thinking while paging through design books at the public library that: If I could make things as simple, as necessary, and as wonderful as a spoon of Bauhaus design, then I could be sure, in a deep way, of doing some good, of changing, for instance, the kitchen where I grew up, baffled by the archaeological layers of aimless, wrong-year calendars, and high-gloss, clashing wall colors, and four cans of paprika and endlessly, dysfunctional clutter/material of no morale, of clear, degenerating morass and mire, of slum, of resignation.
Two years earlier the then-aimless college student, who was born in Pakistan before moving to the U.S. when he was 2, had joined the National Guard on the spur of the moment, looking for some direction and never thinking his unit would ever actually be sent to war, a safe bet considering the National Guard hadn't been used in combat since World War II. But by the spring of 2004, the insurgency was starting to heat up in Iraq, things were starting to look dicey for the American mission there, and the Pentagon needed more soldiers, which meant the National Guard, with its weekend training sessions, was all of a sudden an international fighting force.
Actually, I made a quick list: you can roughly split recruits wanting to be here into five reasons: — Their uncle was in the army and now they want to be in the army; — They always just wanted to be in the army, an uncle was not important; — Want to make mom dad proud w/ a career; — It was either this or be one of those sort of aimless kids who sets off fireworks outside a provincial branch of a grocery store a lot and gets into trouble and general shithousery, known by the local police on first-name terms; — They tried civilian life—college, maybe, or a job cleaning, or for some reason there are a lot of former beauticians here—and it just Didn't Work, and that restlessness with it pushed them into the loving open arms of the Armed Forces; There were zero instances of the motivations I most expected to see most of, which was: — Maniac; In fact, to say they all wake up at 22:245 AM a lot to the sound of a man screaming, the Junior Soldiers I spoke to were all remarkably well-adjusted.
