"In terms of their lives, and this being an existential crisis, and a threat, I don't think that comes off as immediately as something like a pandemic," said Miro Korenha, co-founder of Our Daily Planet, a Washington DC-based environmental news platform.
But depending on who's writing and drawing her, the comics' depiction of this amorphous power has been inconsistent: Her luck comes off as more or less just making things happen — bullets hit, or lightning strikes, or she's saved by the slightest of nudges.
Again, Reigns is booked like a chump when it counts, so you have this guy who comes off as a delusional loser headlining pretty much all your shows, winning when it's most obnoxious (Undertaker, Braun Strowman), while still managing to not be good.
Particularly since the entire point of police is to hold others accountable for wrongdoing, the blue wall of silence comes off as an especially blatant attempt by the criminal justice system to eliminate any personal responsibility for wrongdoing by the system's actors.
The lines and arrows and dots and shapes that populate them represent the traces of the players who once trod their fields with pleasure and passion, whereas an empty field diagram, while perhaps a purer aesthetic of minimalism, comes off as anodyne and sterile.
But given that they're being released together and follow a single story, it comes off as something more substantial than the bite-sized work that we're used to in the VR world — even if by another medium's standards, it would still be pretty short.
Goldberg&aposs charm is representative of narcissism The fact that Goldberg comes off as extremely charming from the first time viewers are introduced to him is another reason he could be a narcissist, something that ranges from the full-blown disorder to a personality trait.
From across the room, the painting comes off as a giant color chart (each cell of the grid is a foot square) — another way that it sets the tone for the show — but soon you begin to realize how lyrical and quirky it is.
The Eurogroup head's insistence that the euro-zone's problem is the moral laxity of its borrowers, not the tight-fistedness of its lenders, comes off as a nervous denial of northern Europeans' nagging suspicion that they may not be the upright citizens they think they are.
I doubt Comey wants these salacious details to be the main message of his earnest tome, in which he comes off as a somewhat tragic figure who, in striving for decency, makes errors of judgment that helped put the singularly indecent Trump in the White House.
Caroline comes off as a dilettante, and Kasia starts out as something of a Joan of Arc, a passionate if naïve operative in the Polish resistance whose feelings of guilt when she takes down her entire family after a botched assignment aren't plumbed in any meaningful way.
But Paper Boi, with his paunch and sweaty brow, also comes off as fascinatingly depressed by impending fame, thrown by how fans perceive him as a symbol of street authenticity—it's as if he's become a nostalgic nineties sensation before he's even been signed by a label.
The jumble of circles and lines comes off as a bit avant-garde (the festival's monogram is an abstracted 'R' comprised of a circle and two lines), but the graphic designers, who are brothers and work at Pentagram's London office, built the bespoke font with logic in mind.
If Trump comes off as composed, serious and disciplined, as he has done while delivering some of his well-designed speeches and at his meetings with the presidents of Mexico and Egypt, he could convince many of the voters currently sitting on the sidelines to swing his way.
The filmmakers try to flesh out the lives of the murder victims at the center of the trials — especially Odin Lloyd — which are often overlooked in true crime narratives, although the attempt comes off as half-hearted (and somewhat random) in a documentary subtitled The Mind of Aaron Hernandez.
But as far-right politicians extolling white-supremacist and xenophobic party lines gain stronger footholds in the United States, Germany, the UK, and Austria—to name just a few examples—FIFA declaring "mission accomplished" for its part in fighting racism comes off as either hopelessly obtuse or willfully ignorant.
His assessment of Newton when he played for Auburn University was not only a scathing critique of his performance as a player; it also questioned his integrity as a person: Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup.
An elite insider who has held senior political and military posts since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Rouhani comes off as a pragmatist unlike Khamenei and his allies, and analysts have cast doubt on his ability to balance their demands and the expectations of his often young and more liberal supporters.
What Assassination Nation most wants to encourage, it seems, is empathy: While Lily is quick to see other people's points of view, for instance, Bex is an uncompromising left-wing reactionist ("You're a bitch; I'm a feminist") ready to shoot people down, and this stance often comes off as misguided.
What follows is a Rick-centric episode, taking us into his fever dreams where the show revives meta versions of past characters like Shane (Jon Bernthal) and Hershel (Scott Wilson) in a sort of homage to the show, which comes off as a touching reprieve to Rick's seemingly inevitable demise.
That Homecoming comes off as loose and sweet and light on its feet as it does feels like sort of minor Marvel miracle; whether Watts can swing this boy into super-manhood with all his endearing humanity intact is a question only time, and the next inevitable sequel, can tell. B+
Corey seems convinced of Beach's significance, but he nonetheless comes off as a kind of oddball antihero, along the lines of Pizzoli's Tricky Vic, but less menacing: Believe in your dreams, kids, and spare no effort as you go for it, even if it means finagling your way around the law!
At the end of their live show currently touring the country, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim — better known as Tim and Eric — leave the stage after introducing their final act, a third performer who comes off as a parody of a 1980s observational comic, his jokes drowned out by loud music.
The other big robot book of the spring, Ian McEwan's Machines Like Me, comes off as clumsy in comparison, and after reading Chiang, McEwan's infamous dismissal of most of sci-fi as "traveling at 10 times the speed of light in anti-gravity boots" seems even more tone deaf than it did before.
When the song bridges into Pt. 2, it's a representation of me coming down from the drugs officially and stepping back into reality where I realize how lonely I am in the real world, which is also a strong reason why the vibe on Pt. 2 comes off as dark and mysterious.
It was no secret that Broadcast used sound libraries as sources—as was common in many horror films of the 1960s and 1970s, Dawn of the Dead and Last House on Dead End Street among them—but what comes off as unique is that authentic patina they give to the score itself.
The knowing, boisterous humour comes off as irredeemably smug and the A-list cast can't disguise the fact that they are portraying points of view, rather than characters Brooklyn (98%) from AllMovie: [The director and screenwriter were] suffusing it with an amber glow of nostalgia so relentlessly luminous it could set off a Geiger counter.
He's got a giant target on his back: A huge part of his appeal for voters is the idea that many see him as the candidate most likely to beat President Donald Trump, and that idea can be blown right up if Biden comes off as faltering or unable to best his Democratic opponents Thursday.
Some of this new wokeness comes off as a little strained, like when we're informed that High Valyrian has gender neutral pronouns, or when tiny badass Lyanna Mormont declares to all the Northern lords that she won't be content to stay home like a good little girl while the men go off to fight.
The main problem with 2019's Child's Play, beyond its stock characters and disjointed plot, is that it ultimately comes off as a bit indecisive; while there are a few scenes that seem to be born from an R-rated horror playbook, most of it feels like a fun frolic through PG-13 land.
Considering they could have worked with just about anyone in hip-hop, as evidenced by their respective tracks with some of the wider genre's major players, the selection of an Afrobeats star comes off as a rejection of a rap world that only now seems to be coming around to the greatness of música urbana.
The prose initially comes off as deliberately breezy in the style of Stephen Greenblatt, but once Johnson gets the opportunity to slow down and show off her research, each paragraph pops open like an overstuffed but delightful cabinet of curiosities — an appropriate metaphor for the scientific polymathy (or perhaps dilettantism) of the Enlightenment gentlemen she's writing about.
It's one in a slew of popular YA book series that failed to launch film franchises and were left hanging in the early 2000s (The Golden Compass, Eragon, Inkheart, City of Ember, etc.), though abandoning these franchises after one movie comes off as slightly less embarrassing than dropping Percy Jackson after two films, or Chronicles of Narnia after three.
Incredibly Relatable: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Proving She's Just Like Us By Wasting Her Life On Social Media I laughed: Ocasio-Cortez wins the internet every day with incredible posts in which she comes off as a normal, everyday person who's forced to be online 24/7 due to social media's ever-tightening stranglehold on American life.
The extreme poses of the figures, their limbs splayed apart or pulled into a defensive crouch, anticipate the exaggerated anatomies of the Neo-Expressionists, particularly Francesco Clemente, by several years, and the coloring of their skin — dark, disagreeable earth tones and unnatural shades of violet, pink and lime green — comes off as diseased or seared, as if radiated.
Ross says that the crew claimed two versions of the Cash Money pendants, one iced-out and the other with a black onyx background, estimated to have cost around $15,000; when Mannie Fresh displays his, the relatively small size of the piece comes off as quaint when set against the ginormous chains rappers would soon begin to flaunt.
In the questioning, Steele comes off as an earnest, upright figure who was stunned by his discoveries about Trump and Russia, and who felt duty-bound to go to the F.B.I. If Republicans had reason to believe that Simpson was lying to them, they could have referred him to the Department of Justice, but they did not.
Just to detail the competition a bit, the BMW M3 isn't a slug, but it has that solid and planted-to-the-road Germanic feel to it while also being rear-wheel-drive like the Giulia Q. But the Alfa comes off as downright tossable in your hands, really more like the BMW M2 in spirit.
But that's not the case in 2019, when Pete's implicit quid pro quo offer to the Barbies comes off as a none-too-funny sendup of Hollywood's very real and harmful "casting couch" history of (typically male) executives wielding their power over ingénues looking to break into Hollywood, by offering them acting roles in exchange for sexual favors.
Both Billy's career and his relationship with the love of his life, Jane Aubrey (Kelly Preston, who is better in some scenes than others but overall comes off as an afterthought) are nearing an end, and he only has one day to get his shit together before, well, going back to his beautiful house in Aspen and collecting his MLB pension.
It's not impossible to forge a sustainable career by hopping on one style after another, but those who become successful often combine the work of artists who inspire them with elements of their own personality to make it uniquely their own––Lil Peep, for example, combines drill and mall-punk in a way that comes off as an extension of his personality.
Faced with an opponent who often comes off as neither a good leader nor a particularly good person, she had to maintain her self-control — to remember all the lessons she's gotten from decades of public criticism about smiling but not letting herself be talked over, about being knowledgeable but not boring, seeming human but being tough — while Trump lost his.
The conservative intellectual apparatus is overwhelmingly against Ryancare — when you've lost Cato and Heritage and AEI and Yuval Levin and Avik Roy and Philip Klein, then discrediting CBO doesn't come off as CBO is wrong, and here's a persuasive argument for why; it comes off as we're wrong, and we're trying to make sure as few people as possible know it.
That's in part due to the hype, the right people wearing it and the fact the design plays into the sportswear revivalism thing currently going on in the UK. But it also has to do with the fact it's a brand that comes off as inherently authentic: started by and worn by skaters in London who weren't concerned with the fact it was trendy to do so.
It's a frustrating episode, both because the final twist remains obtuse and because the attention devoted to the dog doesn't always pay off: Sure, I can buy the built-in infrared tracking device and shrapnel shot from its forehead, but by the time it's modifying one of its amputated limbs into a slice-and-dicer, it comes off as more than a little over-the-top.
The jaunty bounce of "Me and My Husband" first comes off as a joke about codependency ("It's always been just him and me"), as the percussive guitar strumming and plinky piano gleam with eager mock cheer, before revealing that the husband is actually the remedy for the narrator's own despair ("I'm the idiot with the painted face in the corner taking up space/ but when he walks in I am loved").
Religion, often treated as a "symptom for — or at least of — something else," as Alyssa Rosenberg put it in her Washington Post column on the subject, is considered by The Americans to be at least as legitimate a driving action as the competing ideologies of capitalism and communism the other characters hold to (and far more legitimate than EST, which mostly comes off as silly, even if the characters who try it out aren't).
This gives the characters a deadline (technically, CJ and Sebastian only have a finite window of time to save Calvin — once they get past the one week mark, they won't have enough power to return to that moment in time), but the ticking clock comes off as artificial, mainly because many of the setbacks they face seem like they could easily be solved with small tweaks, like jumping back from a different location, or approaching a conversation just a tad more diplomatically.
The exhibition's historical segregation and conceptual over-determination feels controlling and strained, with such untamable artists as Bruce Nauman and Eva Hesse neatly stored in tidy vitrines (to be fair, the glass case housing Hesse's untitled sculpture from 1967-68 is part of the artwork, but in the context, it appears to entrap her spiky formal and material expansiveness), while the final gallery, filled with artists as diverse as Medardo Rosso, Gerhard Richter, Maria Lassnig, and Cy Twombly, comes off as a jumble of leftovers.
