These dreamy touches also help set Rocketman apart from Bohemian Rhapsody, which it otherwise seems to follow beat for beat, down to the obligatory scene of a foolish record executive who just can't seem to understand that what his oddball artist has brought him is actually the next great masterpiece.

It shares lineage with What We Do in the Shadows and Flight of the Conchords's dry, oddball wit, and adds the dash of telenovela that gives it its dippy drama, giving Latinx viewers who struggle to see themselves in the shows about them a reflection of their weirdo, bien darks selves.

While many names around him are familiar — Whistler, Manet, Morisot, Degas (Tissot famously turned down an invitation to join the first Impressionist exhibition) — Tissot was an oddball masquerading as a successful society painter, an artist who's been shunted aside for not participating in the forward march of capital "M" Modernism.

Mr. English, born in 1963, had the good fortune to come of age at a time when analytical, oddball, extroverted introverts like himself had a lucrative, socially acceptable outlet for their talents, and his euphoric episodes oddly matched the country's, which for a while went gaga over all things tech.

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!

Loosely based on oddball science fiction writer Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Blade Runner follows Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a gruff detective type in the Humphrey Bogart mold who is pulled out of retirement to take down a group of escaped androids called replicants.

But those films, including an oddball favorite of mine, "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever," a late movie by Vincente Minnelli that doesn't catch on all cylinders but features the only onscreen meeting of Ms. Streisand and Jack Nicholson, will suffice for a streaming Streisand mini-film festival.

It's rare for a single scene in a TV comedy to have this much production time afforded to it — sliding past two hours by the time it wraps — but the care and effort the cast and crew put into it is perfectly representative of this beautiful oddball of a show.

If you remember your political history, Woodrow Wilson scored a fairly comfortable reelection after having secured office in the oddball election of 19703 when a third-party bid by former president Theodore Roosevelt pushed the GOP into third place and let Wilson win with just 21970 percent of the vote.
|
|
They're an alluringly enigmatic pair, unpredictable oddball Hae-mi (Jeon Jong-seo) and dead-eyed playboy Ben (Steven Yeun), and their respective gravitational pulls turn Burning from a potential romance to a love triangle to a thriller, and finally to something that eludes labels or any easy interpretation of what's really going on.
|
|
We keep it flexible, because maybe something will come up in the news such as the history of Wall Street, recorded during the financial crisis, or like the 100th anniversary of the Black Tom Explosion, or we'll suddenly become inspired to tackle some oddball topic such as Mae West's arrest for indecency.

The best script he contributed to for 30 Rock, season three's "The Funcooker," featured Liz Lemon attempting to ditch jury duty by saying she believed she was Princess Leia, and his performance on Community gradually turned his character Troy from a stereotypical dumb jock into an oddball nerd in about half a season.

Ebay, the company that dominated the early internet economy with its popular auction model connecting buyers and sellers of oddball products, is trying to fill a niche that its rivals are missing by focusing on expanding the universe of products consumers will consider buying over the web — using virtual and augmented reality.

Before Trump was elected, magazines like National Review (which published a famous "Against Trump" issue) and The Weekly Standard opposed the insurgent candidate, while smaller oddball publications like The American Conservative and the Claremont Review of Books published articles arguing that the reality show star was usefully breaking up ossified conservative dogma.
|
|
His latest oddball moment came a couple of nights ago at Lupe Fiasco's concert in Austin, Texas, where he hung out with the rapper (because, obviously, Bill Murray is best friends with Lupe Fiasco) and was caught on camera enthusiastically joining in with the crowd's requests for an encore, air punches and all.
|

Presidential elections are the big ones, and candidates have gone all out to attract millennial support in 2016—Ted Cruz made bacon with a machine gun, Hillary Clinton went on Broad City, and Bernie Sanders, that oddball, spoke to issues young people care about like student debt and the price of college tuition.
|
|
But the typical Drafthouse preshow is a sprawling, oddball affair, consisting of "anything from vintage movie and TV ephemera, old trailers, public domain oddities, weirdo found footage, music videos, clips from bizarre foreign films, animation, web videos, and increasingly, supercuts and custom editorial content," according to the chain's video content lead, Laird Jimenez.
|

For more of Kemper's singular fusion of innocent and oddball, look no further than "My Squirrel Days," her new essay collection from Scribner, which takes on subjects such as disappointing brunch dishes and the horror of realizing that one has become an adult who relies on other people to set out her underwear.
|
|
That suspension of disbelief is easy enough to achieve, as long as the unnamed urban oddball characters — like the woman (Emma Orme) who comes to this spot in the park every day, and the man (Joseph Huffman) just passing through with his car's flat tire — are spewing their agitated monologues at one another.
|
|
Rather than reject the oddball perception of the Sunshine State, Mr. Barry embraces the "Weirdness Factor" and guides the reader in a kooky, humorous road trip to places like Cassadaga, the Psychic Capital of the World, to have his dog's aura read, and a retirement community with a thriving black market for Viagra.
|
|
There are unpersuasive subplots involving a one-afternoon stand between Massive and Joyce (who serves the standard-issue role of the idealist oddball determined to escape the old neighborhood), Pnut's psychosomatic asthma and Mom's scheme to sue the city by presenting her slow-thinking son as a victim of lead paint poisoning.
|
|
It all unfolded in hour upon hour of car-crash television, in a compelling self-immolation that it was impossible to look away from and provided a reminder of the cast of erratic, oddball characters who drift in and out of the President's employ -- some of whom staffed his campaign and his administration.
|
|
After all, since you know this question is coming down the pike, you might as well have the answer on lock — so you can pivot your full attention to prepping for one of those oddball "if you were any animal, which animal would you be?" questions that some hiring managers still insist on asking.
|

From the very first episode of the dayglo-a-go-go Batman series, which premiered on January 12, 1966, West almost intuitively understood the best way to play an oddball gazillionaire-turned-vigilante: Make him the least outwardly crazy figure in a world of over-the-fop bad guys and ding-a-ling bureaucrats.
|
|
Pumped full of brilliant colors and oddball characters out of a Powell & Pressburger feature (or more obviously, Italian horror filmmakers Dario Argento and Mario Bava), In Fabric is as much a tribute to the tales of haunted objects that have scared us throughout history as it is a hilarious critique of the retail industry.
|
|
We're all by now very grateful for the sterling reissue work Dark Entries are doing—a whole host of beautifully put together Italo, minimal wave and generally oddball synth records are relatively easy to obtain now without having to go without food for a month/spend two weeks trekking through the flea markets of Europe.

The team who found KELT-11b, which orbits a star located about 320 light-years from Earth, says this "extraordinarily inflated" world is the third-lowest density planet with a precisely measured mass and radius that has been discovered — and this oddball, lightweight sphere could tell us more about how such strange exoplanets evolve.
|
|
I don't speak another language fluently, so please let me know in the comments whether this is also true for other languages, but modern English is enough of an oddball that one can pun, one can Spoonerize, one can mix up the order of words in a phrase and still communicate the same message.

Glancing at their covers at supermarket checkouts over the years told me pretty much everything I needed to know — that Archie was caught in some sort of chaste high-school love triangle between girl-next-door Betty and snooty Veronica; that Jughead was his oddball best bud; that the style and format basically hadn't changed since the 1950s.
|
|
Elsewhere, Eiichi Ohtaki (another former member of Happy End) consistently reshaped his sound throughout his musical career, evolving from his folky proto-city pop beginnings (heard best on "Yubikiri") to tackling a freewheeling, oddball concoction of old-fashioned sounds on Niagara Moon to culminating his sound with the beachy, Phil Spector-worshipping classic A Long Vacation.

He flexed his oddball acoustic predilections on early works Oh Me Oh My (2002), Niño Rojo (2004) and others, before solidifying his claim to the canyon rock lineage with a three-LP hat-trick: 2005's Cripple Crow, 2007's Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, and 2009's What Will We Be. You could almost smell the eucalyptus.
|

Above all, though, it is unmistakably Anderson-esque, with all of his oddball signatures: dry, melancholy humour, sans-serif chapter headings, a repertory of hipster character actors, and shots so precisely symmetrical that the left half of the screen could be replaced with a mirror image of the right half, and you'd barely notice the difference.
|

The other coders who make up Pied Piper's oddball fraternity include the dueling duo of Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) and Gilfoyle (Martin Starr), who are locked into an ever-spinning hamster wheel of cruel pranks and undermining snark (they are the Mutt and Jeff of the South Bay, often in a separate slapstick sitcom of their own).
|
|
It is easy to depict Mr. Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal, board member at Facebook and influential investor, as an outlier even in the oddball tech world: He believes there will be a cure for death, promotes the construction of floating islands exempt from society's rules and secretly financed a lawsuit to take down Gawker.

Alia Shawkat, Natasha Lyonne, Adam Green, and the genie Francesco Clemente This Spring Adam Green—brilliantly oddball solo star, painter/sculptor, and formerly one half of The Moldy Peaches—will release his latest ambitious project: a feature length film titled Adam Green's Aladdin (which VICE first reported on way back when he was still drumming up funding).

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads NAGOYA, Japan — There is a way to experience the bold, exuberant, psychologically intense work of the Japanese artist Issei Nishimura, not as a formalist trying to make sense of its unflappably expressionistic compositions, but rather from the standpoint of a music lover, tuning into, and surrendering to, their oddball rhythms.
|
|
VARIETY PUZZLE — Puns and Anagrams play faster and looser than straight cryptic puzzles, and Sam Ezersky improvises riffs on top of that, so to completely finish a grid like this you've got to unfurrow your brow a little bit, go with the flow, and promise not to YELL AT yourself or him for any oddball inclusions.
|
|
But the film prefers to focus on their amazing rise, which here includes a classic oddball friendship — Garrett is cool, rational and sober; Morris is garrulous, freewheeling and cynical — and an amusing makeover montage in which the working-class Steiner is taught how impersonate an upper-class white man, receiving tutorials in golf, etiquette, Scotch-drinking and remedial algebra.
|
|
The result is that to watch Perpetual Grace LTD — one of the most delightfully oddball new shows of the summer — you'll have to all but consult a GPS to find Epix in the hinterlands of your cable guide or subscribe to the channel's Epix Now service, a suggestion I can already feel most of you bristling at.

Whether you're an '80s baby, a '90s nut, or an aughts oddball, you've likely spent the last couple of weeks chewing over Stranger Things, the Winona Ryder-led Netflix series that follows the disappearance of a young boy in small-town Indiana in 1983, and leads to the discovery of a telekinetic tween, a shadowy conspiracy, and a blood-crazed monster.
|

Two years after Oh left Grey's Anatomy, she starred alongside Anne Heche in 2016's Catfight, an oddball indie from director Onur Tukel about two former college frenemies who keep running into each other, old resentments and repressed rage bubbling up until they engage in ridiculously violent brawls that leave first one and then the other in a two-year coma.

Amazon's Alexa voice AI, which is embedded in a wide array of hardware — from the company's own brand Echo smart speaker line to an assortment of third-party devices (such as this talkative refrigerator or this oddball table lamp) — listens pervasively for a trigger word which activates a recording function, enabling it to stream audio data to the cloud for processing and storage.
|
|
It's hard to glean from the debut, or each member's personal tastes, but the band first got together united by a love of alternative, oddball Canadian acts: Mac DeMarco in the Rock and Roll Night Club era, before alt-bros started dressing like him; the pristine pop of Tops; the art performance of Sean Nicholas Savage and the smooth songwriting of Travis Bretzer.
|

Add in Jillian Holtzmann (a relic of the original) as the oddball engineer and manufacturer of the team's ghostbusting proton-packs and other weaponry (a hilarious and genuinely original turn by Kate McKinnon, also of "Saturday Night Live") and Patty (Leslie Jones), a subway worker with an extensive knowledge of New York City landmarks and you've got a strong ensemble.
|
|
The issue is that among those of us who know her, we can be fairly certain that Nielsen hates this policy and hates defending it, but she feels that in the oddball "Game of Thrones"-like environment of the Trump presidency, she was handed an opportunity to land a Cabinet level position -- one that she might not have gotten in any other administration.
|
|
Vote trading is kind of an oddball idea, but it works like this: If I am a Jill Stein supporter and I live in a swing state, but I'm afraid that voting for Jill Stein will help Donald J. Trump win my state, I can trade my Jill Stein vote to a Hillary Clinton supporter who lives in a non-swing state.

Once you begin to identify such arrangements as grifts, you are bound to discover, in our baroquely capitalist society, that loads of things are essentially grift-shaped, from oddball start-ups to arcane financial services: They begin with a slick appeal, go on to create nothing of concrete value and end, like any good bilking, with your money in new pockets.
|
|
There is a story here also, but it feels wan and patched together — so much of the show's imagination has gone into the world building and the artisanal Americana and the stylistic flourishes, like the bloody, crunching scenes of violence set to oddball musical choices like "25 or 6 to 4" or "Dammit, Janet" (from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show").
|
|
For fans of the "The Bridge," the Scandinavian noir with the captivatingly oddball detective Saga Noren at its dark heart, "The Tunnel" sounded like another loop on the thrill ride: It co-opted the original's premise — a body positioned on the international border of the Oresund Bridge linking Sweden and Denmark — and transported it to the Channel Tunnel between France and Britain.
|
|
You know, the sort of thing a record label wants circulating around the desktops and Whatsapp folders of every music writer south of Orpington by 11 AM. Then I set up a Twitter for myself and only followed Clare Balding, so that people could see I had the oddball and kooky sense of humor you expect from the social media accounts of desperate artists.

Arctic Monkeys had just headlined the Friday night at Glastonbury, but instead of the masses rejoicing at the sight of hearing "R U Mine" blasted out from a Pyramid onto a 100,000 plus shiny faces, the biggest memory of the night was Turner's oddball accent; which sounded a bit like Sean Bean doing a Bill Clinton impression at gun point first thing in the morning.
|
|
The less said the better about the theatrics of an opening ceremony that combined elements of Cirque du Soleil with a visit to Epcot to produce a spectacle with all the appeal of a public service announcement, one whose oddball highlight might have been the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen's taking a victory lap in what was billed as her last-ever strut down a catwalk.
|
|
These were candid insider's accounts of romantic liaisons, sexual peccadilloes and oddball habits of the great pooh-bahs of the art world, and glimpses of her own strange encounters with them — Matisse hissing and cursing furiously as he drew a nude while Ms. Bernier watched; Picasso looking lost in a tattered brown dressing gown, engulfed by junk piled everywhere in his barnlike Paris studio.
|
|
It had little lasting impact on the landscape of music and pales in comparison to its album of the year competitors, including the Fugees' "The Score," the Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," and especially Beck's best album "Odelay," an oddball rock masterpiece with a twisty take on hip-hop trends that still sounds fresh and innovative and compelling to this day.

When: Opens Friday, September 16, 6–8pm Where: Kohn Gallery (26750 North Highland Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles) Although John Altoon was a major figure in the scene surrounding influential Ferus Gallery in the 218s, he was always a bit of an oddball, whose gestural, surrealist-inspired works didn't quite fit in with the space-age minimalism of Larry Bell and Robert Irwin, or Ed Ruscha's cool, text-based conceptualism.
|
|
It was a harrowing experience, they said, and it came only one month before Harmony Korine, the legendary cult filmmaker who wrote the seminal movie 90s Kids and directed 2012's oddball mind-bender Spring Breakers, would begin principal shooting on his newest project, The Beach Bum—a look at "Cosmic America," and the drunkards, degenerates, and romantics who inhabit what was once Ernest Hemingway's famous, mythic retreat.
|

Around this precise tableau lay the kind of oddball raw material and detritus that sometimes makes its way into her work: a salvaged root system from a redwood; a huge block of Styrofoam that looked like quarried stone; a pile of square stainless-steel tubes that she bends, using a 50-ton press, so that they end up looking more like squiggled brush strokes than like industrial metal.
|
|
When Friend felt he needed to see more of Andreessen, Wennmachers hit upon the idea of a TV-watching dinner date, correctly suspecting the scene would be just weird enough to guarantee inclusion and that Andreessen would come off exactly as she hoped: a relatable visionary who identifies with oddball hackers and who, when he is not predicting the future of computers, is watching TV shows about people who predict the future of computers.

This article appeared originally on THUMP UK. Ever since Matt King—AKA the bloke who plays drug-addled delusional oddball Super Hans in the long-running sadlad sitcom Peep Show—announced that he'd decided to break the 4/4 fourth wall by DJing in real life, people have been getting very, very excited about the prospect of seeing a bloke from the telly behind the decks for reasons we can't exactly work out.

When Williamson first announced her exploratory committee in November, her bid to be the Mike Gravel of 2020 — the self-assured oddball who kept the debates interesting — was a solid one: The only declared competition in the snowball's-chance lane was John Delaney, a replacement-level Maryland congressman, and Andrew Yang, a New York businessman and universal-basic-income advocate who has said he hopes to campaign via hologram in some states.

Indeed, every single episode of Atlanta starts from the sort of time-honored sitcom premise that wouldn't feel out of home on I Love Lucy: Earn comes into a windfall and tries to take his girlfriend out, only to have the night ruined; Alfred's friend Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) tries to reason with a stranger whose ideas about the world mark him as an oddball recluse; Alfred gets roped into the schemes of a local businessman.

I hadn't thought of her as having any kind of regional sound — she feels more like a creature of the internet to me — but as Jon noted, she and her brother make most of her music together in his bedroom at their childhood home in L.A. Her weirdness combined with her clear virtuosity, Jon said, called to mind another California oddball who worked closely with a sibling, often in his bedroom: Brian Wilson.
