Sea of Thieves is a refreshingly ambitious game, aiming to tempt players into a big, open world multiplayer environment where you can get attacked by rival pirate ships, fired upon by skeletons from islands you're passing by, or be snatched from your crow's nest by giant sea monsters.
After a Republican debate a few days earlier in which the discourse over health-care amounted to the rather empty mantra of "repealing and replacing" Obamacare—without a single detail from any of the contenders on what a replacement might entail—the Sanders-Clinton exchange was refreshingly substantive.
Refreshingly written and directed by both a man (Harry Elfont) and a woman (Deborah Kaplan), the film is set during a high school graduation party where nice guy Preston Meyers (Ethan Embry again!) plans to tell his longtime crush Aman-duh (Jennifer Love-Hewitt) that he loves her.
In this latest iteration, it is also refreshingly self-assured; where the Warriors exult in their harmony, Durant shoulders up to Waiters and delivers a half-smirking "fuck you," letting his teammate stand in for anyone who might aspire to bother him (or hesitate to pass him the ball).
The emotionally earnest record also comes in the wake of a number of vocal collaborations with Bala Club's Uli K and noted Sad Boy Yung Lean, and works in a framework built from West Coast hip-hop influences, refreshingly uncontrived pop intuition, and the occasional hint of Baroque musicality.
It's refreshingly oblivious to all that "be great" and "be cool" messaging feeling like a cool-ass king or queen will always be a dope thing on a good day; but Insecure is a necessary vision of blackness that flaunts the crack in black, and I fuck with that.
From the beginning, the Juilliard Quartet was known for its probing musicality (the group once devoted two full rehearsals to a single measure from Elliott Carter's Third String Quartet); hard-driving style, which for all its passionate intensity was considered refreshingly unsentimental; and deep commitment to contemporary music.
And she's certainly accomplished: She's starred in numerous hit movies and TV shows (most recently, "Breaking In"), and her 2017 book, "We're Going to Need More Wine," shot to the top of best-seller lists, with its refreshingly real approach to serious topics including color, gender and feminism.
Because let's face it: By the time you've worn your new jacket to death, or that pumpkin-spice latte has lost its allure, or the refreshingly crisp air has turned downright cold, a really great lipstick (or ten) is the gift that keeps on giving all the way through the season.
It stuck to tried and true figures like the killers in Leatherface, Jigsaw, and Cult of Chucky; teen-oriented slashers like Happy Death Day and Wish Upon; and white people battling the supernatural like Annabelle: Creation and the residents of Derry in It. Women were refreshingly strong leads in several titles.
There's also a ton to be said for how refreshingly sparse and simple Dragon's Dogma is—after years of games increasingly packed with OCD-tingling lists of things to do, it's nice to have a game where you just roam around killing monsters, finding treasure, and unlocking awesome new abilities.
The stylish new collection, debuting nearly a year after the mega site's exclusive brands Rivet and Stone & Beam hit the shopping scene, is filled with a selection of furniture in refreshingly classic silhouettes and crisp, clean colors — from rolled arm sofas to wooden spindle accent chairs, tufted fabric headboards, and more.
Signal (Android/iOS, free)Screenshot: SignalSome would call Signal basic and simplistic compared with rivals like Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp, but we'd call it refreshingly minimalist—it sticks to the essentials of messaging and calling, and what extra features it does have are well hidden away in the background.
Returning director Jon Watts did a marvelous job of building out the supporting cast — Jacob Batalon as best-pal Ned; Zendaya as a refreshingly enigmatic version of Peter's crush, MJ; Tony Revolori as rich-kid jerk Flash Thompson; Angourie Rice as Betty; Martin Starr as the kids' high-strung faculty chaperone.
There is a lot to love about it: a dope soundtrack, a diverse ensemble cast, a Scandal parody that puts the original to shame, and a refreshingly complex take on race that finally reflects what Black folks have been talking about on Twitter, Tumblr, and on our friends' couches for years.
Celtic Pride is an uneven and mostly un-funny effort, but does have some decent moments and is also refreshingly light on the Irish-sounding music, although the Irish-Canadian band The Mahones does deliver a half-hearted title song as the Boston Garden is (fictionally) imploded during the credits.
Still, The scene where Aladdin, magically disguised as Prince Ali of Ababwa, comes to very clumsily court Jasmine is a welcome, refreshingly funny addition, and their rendition of "A Whole New World," is so good it almost makes you forget just how transporting the original was the first time you heard it.
The actual substance of A Wrinkle in Time — as something both ambitious and clunky, sweet and cloying, wrestling tricky source material into something alternately stunning and befuddling on screen, and looking refreshingly little like the usual kiddie fare — has gotten downplayed (even, I am agonizingly aware, in the piece you're currently reading).
Eve is funny and dorky, eager and intense, possessed of so many of the qualities that made Oh shine in those supporting roles, not discarded now that she's been bumped up to lead, but burnished — a refreshingly unromanticized character dropped into a lurid conspiracy, not as a joke, but as the point.
Neither cutesy nor needlessly bleak, the debut narrative film from writer-director Anna Rose Holmer possesses a refreshingly intimate, honest tone about those developmental years, chronicling the seemingly minor travails of an eleven-year-old girl whose desire to belong opens up a door to a world from which she might not return.
Let's start with the recent jaw-dropping (but, in a way, refreshingly honest) diatribe that Fox News host Laura Ingraham engaged in on her show, in which she admitted that she and others of her ilk are upset about the demographic changes that have been a reality of this great country for decades.
Plus, where a lot of supernatural shows tend to get bogged down by the mechanics of their premises (see: the now-long-in-the-tooth Vampire Diaries; any show that involves time travel), iZombie has so far remained refreshingly straightforward on that front while still managing to tell interesting stories week after week.
Detroit's resident weirdos—along a host of out-of-towners, who told me they'd trekked from Chicago, Baltimore, New York, and more—probably would have showed out in force even if the fest was charging admission, but the more literal meaning of the billboard made the whole thing feel refreshingly low-stakes.
The main lobby of Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center exists in direct contrast to the ER. Actually, it's like what the ER of Brookdale should look like: the colors, lively; the aesthetic, refreshingly modern—according to a spokesperson, it was repainted by the hospital itself, and a local assemblyman paid for disability upgrades.
READMEModular components let you make your home security system as big or small as you need it to beEach piece of hardware is beautifully designed, and the software is refreshingly elegantOwners of large homes could end up spending thousands on sensorsRequires a Nest Cam and Nest Aware subscription to provide the very best security
Even more intriguing is the way Baddieani merges the two creative disciplines: instead of creating visually overwhelming, overstimulating works with countless chaotic design elements and no real point of focus, Baddieani's art is refreshingly crisp and distinct, with clean lines, an attractive color palette, and a subtle message embedded in the stark, bold image overall.
Though the turnout left something to be desired—perhaps due to the storm, the room during Tiga's 2am set was only half-full—the clientele reflected a refreshingly broad cross-section of New York demographics; it's always tight when you see a drag queen twerking next to a stockbroker who just got off work.
Blizzard has routinely discussed its approach to dealing with the worst elements of the Overwatch community, but in a refreshingly honest developer update, game director Jeff Kaplan explained the cost of coming up with new tools and resources to deal with the toxicity: other features and maps aren't being worked on, so they're taking longer.
Despite the fact that it's a warm-your-heart, grab-your-tissues kind of family film, Stepmom is also refreshingly modern in its take on Isabel: a career woman who doesn't hide the fact that she never wanted children herself, though she's game to take them on if they're part of a package deal.
Morales, an adjunct faculty member at Columbia University who describes his own identity as that of a "racialized person living in a U.S. megacity, who has a somewhat ambiguous phenotypical appearance," proves refreshingly introspective, weaving enough personal biography into the book to pull the work back from veering too far into inaccessible academic jargon.
Some who said they were choosing between Mr. Yang and Mr. Sanders said they liked that both candidates had refreshingly blunt messages about the country's problems and were offering ambitious solutions, like Mr. Yang's plan to provide a universal basic income to every American adult, and Mr. Sanders's push for a $15 minimum wage.
God of War took Kratos and sent him on a new path in Norse mythology with his son Atreus that combines the satisfying hyperviolence of the original trilogy with a refreshingly mature premise and story: Kratos's wife and Atreus's mother died and her wish was that they spread her ashes on the peak of the tallest mountain.
And sprinkled throughout her book — between the raw confessions of addiction and the juicy Condé Nast drama — is classic beauty editor Cat, dishing out refreshingly real makeup tips, like the best eyeliner for Keith Richards-worthy smudginess (Smashbox) or the concealer that can hide the dark circles from a four-day cocaine binge (Givenchy Mister Light).
Differing cinematic sensibilities due to the era aside, the concept remains the same: A man who's seen it all in show business and who's been driven to addiction by its hollowness encounters a talented, refreshingly authentic woman (younger, to varying degrees) and falls in love with her almost on sight, then introduces her to the business he's already conquered.
When Domino magazine released its first book, The Book of Decorating: A Room-by-Room Guide to Creating a Home That Makes You Happy, in 2008, it instantly became a bible for design lovers and amateur decorators looking to make their own spaces reflect the stylish and refreshingly approachable interiors featured in the magazine, which shuttered in 2009.
It aims for a kind of realism with refreshingly lowered stakes: Degrassi's pansexual drug addict essentially just stumbles around a lot and kisses both his ex-boyfriend and his female Ativan pusher; the boy branded as a lothario earns his rep through a series of make-outs, not by Chuck Bass-edly bedding every young lady in sight.
This is refreshingly upfront for a series that has always had very strong queer subtext—the relationship between Chloe and Max in the first game was extremely emotional, and there was even the possibility of a kiss—but it was written in such a way that, yeah, you could kind of see them just being close platonic friends.
Despite the sad circumstances, the song is upbeat and refreshingly personal: I've got no time for talkin' I've got to keep on walkin' New Orleans is my home That's the reason why I'm goin' Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans At the time of Mr. Domino's death, he was 89 years old.
In a TimesTalks conversation on Thursday, The New York Times's editorial director for books, Radhika Jones, spoke with Ms. Adichie about her reasons for making her words public, what has surprised her about motherhood — she now has her own daughter — and why there's something to be said about sexism being "refreshingly obvious" in her native Nigeria.
