Video-making had been incorporated into this ritual in a startlingly seamless way: before one girl could finish asking a TikToker to make a video saying hi to her friend Adrianne, the TikToker was halfway through a video saying hi to her friend Adrianne.
Shot over the course of one year in 23 countries, the movie tracks the here and there of people whose relentless ebbing and flowing make startlingly visible what news headlines repeatedly suggest: that ours is an age of ceaseless churn with no calm in sight.
Mr. Habjan fluidly and expertly switches among life-size ventriloquist's dummies, rod puppets and, in one startlingly effective scene, a mask of the conductor, which Mr. Habjan, dressed in a tuxedo with tails, holds in place while clutching a baton in his other hand.
Around the double cluster of barracks that serve as houses, schools, workshops, mess halls, cooperative stores, offices and hospitals are nearly 17,000 acres of vegetable gardens, wheat, alfalfa and rice fields and pasture lands startlingly neat and green in a framework of shallow irrigation ditches.
Other than startlingly realistic silicone pieces for Saru's hands and arms — "I've never had [costume] gloves that look so real" — and a pair of hooflike boots that add five more inches to Jones' considerable height, the rest of the character is just Jones' own slim body.
"When he's got that shot dropping, there's not much more you can do but stay in front of him and have a good contest," Tristan Thompson said right after he wrapped his knuckle on a wooden lectern when I asked him about LeBron's startlingly accurate shot.
S. trade talks in Beijing By Wayne Cole SYDNEY, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Asian shares were set for a rousing start on Monday as a dovish turn by the Federal Reserve and startlingly strong U.S. jobs data soothed some of the market's worst fears about the global outlook.
It strikes closer to home when one considers cases like that of Aziz Ansari, accused of inappropriate behavior and disrespecting his date's boundaries in a piece that torched the internet, partially because it rang startlingly, uncomfortably familiar to many men and women about experiences in their past.
The opening credits of The Big Chill, Lawrence Kasdan's 1983 film of a group of thirty-something friends reckoning with mortality, introduce the main characters in the midst of various daily situations, which are startlingly interrupted with these close-up details of a man being dressed.
They fear their party could see its fortunes mauled as a consequence of two factors: large-scale demographic changes that make the landscape less hospitable for the GOP, and Trump's startlingly poor performance so far with normally reliable pillars of Republican support, such as college-educated whites.
In a startlingly dramatic appeal to both sides in Syria's brutal civil war, the United Nations' special envoy for Syria offered to personally escort up to 2900,000 al-Qaeda-linked fighters out of Aleppo to prevent Russian and Syrian forces from razing the city to the ground.
After losing Bannon and Gorka and Hahn to the White House; accepting the resignation of Yiannopoulos, who was caught advocating statutory rape; and firing the editor Katie McHugh over a string of odious tweets, Alex has left himself with a roster of writers who are startlingly inoffensive.
Rendered with startlingly tactile beauty through David Bengali's projections, with lighting by Beverly Emmons, these images are echoed and enhanced by chamber pieces and songs by so-called Impressionist and Romantic composers who were contemporaries of van Gogh: Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, Ernest Chausson and César Franck.
Trump and his allies on Wednesday were still reeling from the publication on Tuesday of excerpts from Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward's forthcoming book, "Fear," which contains dozens of vignettes and quotes from current and former Trump officials that paint the president in a startlingly negative light.
Those familiar with the New York-based German artist's startlingly visceral work, such as pigskin heads or scenes of dead animals caught in oil and tar, may be surprised at the quiet nature of Icons in Ash, which are more contemplative in their consideration of death.
What's more, so much of Mr. Trump's campaign and his conduct remain startlingly unpredictable, from his spats with the pope to his shifting memories of his previous positions on momentous issues, such as his opposition (then later support, then opposition again) for the American-led invasion of Iraq.
But published in 2005, right before the financial crisis blew up the economy and doomed millennials even more than they were already, it also offered a startlingly prescient window into the relentless cycle of personal debt that has helped define what young people sometimes like to call late capitalism.
With his startlingly poetic collages, experiments in primal phonetics, ground-breaking immersive Merzbau sculptures (pre-dating today's multimedia installations by over 80 years) and his, as yet unrealized, dream of the Gesamtkunstwerk: the total synaesthetic work of art, his irrefutable influence has suffused every area of creative expression.
Being a young, attractive, conservative woman also gave her cover to make the kind of startlingly cruel comments that would have sunk other careers -- suggesting, for example, that Syrian refugees fleeing for their lives (and the lives of their children) were cowards who wouldn't stay to defend their country.
Most startlingly, Poitras also shows Assange and Harrison on the phone, urgently trying to get ahold of then-Secretary Hillary Clinton at the State Department, to warn her about the incoming publication of hundreds of thousands of unredacted cables after the master password to their files is exposed.
The only additional name I found among the other canvases was "BORK" (in "While All the Others Are Working," 2016), a startlingly relevant reference to Robert Bork, Reagan's Supreme Court nominee, whose defeat by a Democratic Senate has been the subject of much commentary over the past two weeks.
The camera-shy Aussie songstress put on a very serious and cinematic affair, with Paul Dano, Kristen Wiig, Tig Notaro, and the startlingly expressive teenage dancer Maddie Ziegler all donning black-and-white wigs a la Sia herself and acting out melodramatic, abstract theatrical performances to the music.
Everyone whose job it is to make jokes about current events was handed a gift on the weekend: A photo of Donald Trump's famously ochre-hued face framed by a startlingly wide border of his actual skin colour, his hair blown back in the wind, as stark as his corrupt conduct.
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads HUDSON, New York — Startlingly engaging, the dozen paintings in Colin Brant: People of the Forest are peopled not by humans but by a variety of birds, marsupials, orangutans, and a lazy leopard, and the teeming density of these canvases is often downright jungle-like.
We're finally down to the final four Bachelorette contestants: Chase, the startlingly life-like robot whose programmers only bothered to add one facial expression; Jordan, the younger, estranged brother of famous sports guy Aaron Rodgers; Robby, a mannequin; and Luke, the chronic mumbler who is spiritually in tune with horses.
Those same Brexiteers are startlingly incurious about what foreigners think and feel, and disdainfully sure that they either love Britain enough to do as requested (cf the cheques written on America's account) or will submit to bullying by big boys (cf those predictions that BMW will tell Europeans what to do).
Carrying student loans keeps the wealth gap between black and white families startlingly wide: A Levy Economics Institute study last year found that with student debt, young white families had 12 times as much wealth as black ones; eliminating that debt lessened that to just five times as much wealth.
Till Fellner (April 19-24), Bertrand Chamayou (May 17-22), and Benjamin Grosvenor (April 4-6)—three newcomers to the Philharmonic—keep to safer ground, though the concerts with Grosvenor, the most startlingly original of the three, also offer a brand-new orchestral work by the acclaimed young composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir.
It did, more or less: we're less than a week out, and while the startlingly ripped Rashad Evans had to pull out of his bout with the returning-from-two-years-hiatus Tim Kennedy, we're pretty much where we were in terms of how awesome Saturday night is going to be.
Bridges gets to the free-throw line just 3.4 times per 40 minutes, a startlingly low number for a player with his physical gifts, and doesn't finish at an elite level at the rim in the half-court, either (per Synergy, he ranks in the 58th percentile among Division I players).
It was to them that he directed his startlingly new positions on trade, immigration, foreign policy, and entitlements; for them that he promised to protect Medicare and Social Security; and for them, that he proposed a noninterventionist, what's-in-it-for-us foreign policy, and pledged to end free trade agreements.
Dolezal's footage has never been seen before and ranges from the startlingly personal to the morbidly hilarious — including one lengthy scene in a hotel room (shot by Dolezal) where Houston and husband Bobby Brown vividly mimic a scene from What's Love Got to Do With It, casting themselves as Tina and Ike Turner.
Starring Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, James Marsden and a slew of other impressive actors, the show is about an Old West-style theme park, where visitors can fulfill whatever fantasy their heart desires by interacting with startlingly sentient robots who don't realize that they aren't real people.
As we watch her struggling through conversation with an old high school classmate, and phoning her sort-of boyfriend, we see a new side of her character: the confused and startlingly resilient lost girl we will soon follow into far more complex territory, even—especially—when she has no idea where she's going.
Christian Madsen (Michael Madsen's son, looking startlingly like the young version of his father) as Tom gets few lines and little backstory, but the weight and banked violence he brings to the role suggests an entirely different, linked movie about a man trying to escape his own past and his dangerous habits.
LONDON — After a startlingly swift transfer of power that made her Britain's prime minister, Theresa May took charge of a new government on Wednesday, vowing to honor the referendum to leave the European Union and naming Boris Johnson, the former London mayor who had been widely considered politically dead, as foreign minister.
Both films use drones to range across the globe and capture scenes of environmental degradation, including thousands of poached elephant tusks confiscated by the Kenyan government, the startlingly colourful waterways of the Atacama desert (polluted in the production of lithium), and the gleaming white caverns of the Carrara marble mine in Italy.
Not that she does anything particularly heroic: Named for the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, who also went by "Vincent," she is a startlingly lucid and apparently very beautiful young woman (her face is never described, only its implied effects) whose mother drowned when she was 13 in a mysterious canoeing incident.
What's more, if the Senate takes seriously Mr. Trump's absolutist position, the chamber will be establishing a startlingly dangerous precedent: that Congress lacks the constitutional authority to investigate effectively criminal wrongdoing within the highest levels of the executive branch, in this instance, allegations of bribery and misuse of government office for personal gain.
Having seen the first two, I can report that the crackling, startlingly intimate energy Williams and Robinson have honed over the past two years is well intact — even though they taped their HBO specials in Brooklyn's 3,000-seat capacity Kings Theatre, a far cry from the dark comedy clubs they first called home.
She turns out to be a startlingly good one, playing Ally as gifted but guarded, someone who's lived long enough to be bruised by the industry, but who keeps singing, and who's smart enough to know that this hard-living celeb is going to hurt her, but who falls in love with him anyway.
But a candidate can also speak to broader issues — health care, of course, and creating jobs that provide a living wage — while also addressing a new concern for so much of electorate: mending what's slowly yet startlingly broken down in our country and in our democratic and legislative process over the last few elections.
This year's offering, Diminution, is almost too lovely for words; as was noted in our stream, the album sees her channel urban loneliness and emotional blight via a combination of delicate guitar, brooding trumpet, textural drones, eldritch chimes, and her own spare, startlingly sweet vocal stylings, which float above the mire like newly freed souls.
The prevalent aesthetic realism descended as much from cinematic as literary forefathers Ralph Ellison and Richard Wright, and in the '90s — the age of stars like Will Smith, Denzel Washington, and Eddie Murphy — Tupac and Ice Cube lent the films they starred in fascinating layers and brought a startlingly grim authenticity to their performances.
The show also includes startlingly racist anti-Japanese imagery that circulated in the United States (even in a government publication) before and during World War II. The photographs — many commissioned by the government but kept under wraps for decades — bear witness to a terrible mistake, a sad chapter capped by belated official apologies and reparations.
There's something almost startlingly intimate about the tapestries in "Used Tape," Erin M. Riley's first solo show at P.P.O.W. A combination of still lifes and closely cropped self-portraits, all of which were hand-woven by the artist on a loom, evoke both the confessional nature of diary entries and the careful crafting of memoir.
In contrast to China, which has been opaque about the spread of the disease within their borders, the Korean authorities have been startlingly open — almost too open — about coronavirus cases, even publishing information online about when and where infections were discovered, the ages and genders of the patients, and a host of other data.
And, indeed, the tone and syntax of "A Small Boy and Others" is startlingly like that of the young narrator in C. K. Scott Moncrieff's contemporaneous translation of "À la Recherche"—Scott Moncrieff's sentences were, self-confessedly, made under James's influence—in a way that draws out a convergence of styles between the two masters.
It's hard to get deeply into what I See You is getting at without giving too much away, but it's safe to say that, in part, it's about how startlingly vulnerable people can be, whether they're facing malicious intentions they may not even be aware of, the unknown in general, or just their need for other people.
Written and directed by Bo Burnham, formerly a wildly popular YouTube comedian (which may be a turn-off for some, but stick with me here), Eighth Grade is a startlingly empathetic, wincingly honest, completely charming story of a girl living through the last week of eighth grade and coming to terms with herself, at least a little.
A 22018 study by Stanford medical professors Eran Bendavid and Jayanta Bhattacharya, comparing HIV mortality in African countries receiving PEPFAR support between 21.35 and 20193 and countries that did not, found that the program reduced the HIV death rate by 22019 percent — preventing 25 million deaths, at a startlingly low price of only $25,450 per death averted.
The worlds depicted in Moebius' comic art, for example, are startlingly original but they also seem credible and inhabitable because we can see echoes of actual places within them—the Bridge of Sighs, the stone faces of Bayon, the Niagara Falls, the temples of the Bagan plains, Monument Valley in Arizona and Utah, and so on.
Available in bottles or by the generously poured glass, the selection runs the gamut from the straightforwardly delicious—try the easy-drinking, juicy Valentina Passalacqua Sottoterra, from Puglia—to the "interesting" or "funky" or "polarizing," words a server used when describing the Bichi Listan, a startlingly herbaceous, spicy, smoky red from the mountains of Tecate, Mexico.
She doesn't draw attention to what I find the most significant aspect of Chile's startlingly strong rules against marketing to children and its requirements to reduce sugar and salt: the four-year pause between passage of its new food laws and when those laws went into effect, which gave the food industry clear advance warning of their nutritional targets.
Before they ever hit the streets, a startlingly high number of runaways experience abuse; one study found that between 21 and 70 percent of runaway and homeless youths had experienced sexual abuse, compared to 46 percent and 38 percent for physical and emotional abuse, respectively (and low single-digit rates for sexual abuse among the general youth population).
David Lewis, who oversees a large, pristine and hip gallery on the Lower East Side, is working with the Souls Grown Deep Foundation on a show of the work of Thornton Dial, a towering figure among outsiders of the South, known for his startlingly rough-hewed paintings whose surfaces can include basically anything: rugs, tree branches and wire.
The Post obtained a tape of one of the calls – this time speaking to Trump's personal life: Within five minutes, [People magazine reporter Sue] Carswell got a return call from Trump's publicist, a man named John Miller, who immediately jumped into a startlingly frank and detailed explanation of why Trump dumped Maples for the Italian model Carla Bruni.
Some of the more intimate encounters, however, are beautifully rendered: a vignette in which Venus bathes a sobbing, obese woman (Kristina Poe), who doesn't want to see her own naked body; an intensely sexy reconciliation between Sarge and Bella; the moment when an exasperated, Nigerian-born social worker (Neil Tyrone Pritchard) startlingly converts his rage into song.
Consider Taofeek Abijako, a young American of Nigerian ancestry who, though just out of high school, staged a startlingly sophisticated show of street wear inspired by post-colonial African clothing, the kind that might have been worn by the fashion-conscious young Malians featured in the classic studio portraits shot by Malike Sidibe or Seydou Keita in the 1960s.
By the time the picks rolled around to Sami Zayn and Bray Wyatt, even the McMahons and their GMs—Bryan for Smackdown and a startlingly hirsute Mick Foley for Raw—seemed bored, with one choice barely announced before the next pick followed on its heels, faster and faster, until the back half of the draft was shunted off to the WWE Network.
Metacritic score: 90 Written and directed by Bo Burnham, formerly a wildly popular YouTube comedian — that phrase alone may turn you off, but stick with us here — Eighth Grade is a startlingly empathetic, wincingly honest, and always completely charming story of a girl living out the last week of her eighth grade year and coming to terms with herself, at least a little.
The California camera company has packed a lot into the same flagship price point of $399, with a new integrated mounting system, a refreshed software experience that requires fewer taps, and the ability to shoot up to 4K footage at 60 frames per second or capture startlingly steady footage, thanks to an improved version of the company's HyperSmooth digital image stabilization.
And while the stakes of electoral politics feel startlingly real if you're a naturalized citizen facing a vociferously anti-immigrant government, or a black family in Flint, Michigan, whose water has been poisoned, or a trans woman forced by a state government to use men's restrooms, for Americans outside marginalized communities, politics can feel like a game to which you can be indifferent.
But that same year, in 1930, the explosive exultation suddenly is pared way, way down, as in the startlingly simple and meditative "Abstract Painting" (1930): just three thin black lines on a stark white background, painted at a time when he was joining the Abstraction-Creation group and connecting with De Stijl (aka Neoplasticism) artists and the Bauhaus Design School.
In a series of startlingly candid conversations, President Donald Trump told former FBI Director James Comey that he had serious concerns about the judgment of a top adviser, asked about the possibility of jailing journalists and described a boast from Vladimir Putin about Russian prostitutes, according to Comey's notes of the talks obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday night.
But when he quotes Delacroix advising another artist — "If you have not sufficient skill to make a sketch of a man throwing himself out of a window, in the time that it takes him to fall from the fourth floor to the ground, you will never be capable of producing great machines" — he conveys a startlingly accurate perspective on Delacroix's essential greatness.
The Stone has been wetting its feet there by presenting shows Friday and Saturday nights since June, and the few weekends I've been to the new space, it has appeared to foster the kind of open exchange that typified most nights on Avenue C. I've already heard startlingly successful group improvisations, and first-time bands of unlikely collaborators that gamely fell flat.
It's written and directed by Bo Burnham, the wildly popular YouTube comedian — that phrase alone may turn you off, but stick with me here — and it is a startlingly empathetic, wincingly honest, and always completely charming story of a girl living out the last week of her eighth grade year and coming to terms with herself, at least a little.
Mr. Holland does not gloss over the holes or uncertainties in his story, but instead uses his knowledge of the period (which starts with the murder of Julius Caesar and concludes with Nero's suicide in A.D. 68) to place early and sometimes disputed accounts in context, and to give the reader a startlingly visceral sense of the violence and brutality and wretched excess of ancient Rome.
There is something startlingly satisfying in the way famous figures have recently been bumped from schedules or swapped out of work — Kevin Spacey from All the Money in the World and House of Cards, Bryan Singer from Bohemian Rhapsody, Ed Westwick from Ordeal by Innocence — because for so long, people have been protected and enabled by the myth that they are just too essential to be replaced.
In 1961, Ms. Hepburn and Mr. Givenchy created one of the most indelible cinematic fashion moments of the 20th century in "Breakfast at Tiffany's": when her character, Holly Golightly, approaches the titular Fifth Avenue jeweler wearing oversize sunglasses, four strands of sparkling pearls, long evening gloves and a black Givenchy dress — a slender, shoulder-baring column — that looks startlingly out of place for the early morning hour.
And yet, all the people in Seoul I spoke to about North Korea over the first few weeks of August revealed themselves to be both startlingly well informed (able to lucidly explain not just Kim Jong-un's motivation — to protect himself and be taken seriously on the global stage — but also the larger stakes for the United States and China) and almost breathtakingly pragmatic.
And in a week in which Bloomberg was accused of being racist due to resurfaced comments about the stop-and-frisk program he once championed, Kranish's work also highlights comments Bloomberg allegedly made that are startlingly degrading to African Americans; one lawsuit claims Bloomberg once advised an employee to find "some black who doesn't have to speak English" to work as a nanny for her.
I have the unfortunate task of informing the woman who runs all of Star Wars that the 2015 release is now out of print, and after a startlingly casual exchange of faux-jealous niceties, Kennedy deftly cuts the small talk short and asks her publicist to find her a copy of the leather-bound BB-8 Moleskine as she sneaks out of the room.
His career sprawls across decades before and after that, and continues still—he presides over a rather startlingly vast multi-platform empire today, which includes a daily radio show that's on 300 stations in the United States and Canada, a weekly television show that's on 174 stations, and a podcast that he does with his wife and her adult son from a previous marriage.
A key member of Stockholm-based label StayCore (alongside artists like Mobilegirl, Lil Tantrum, Endgame, Kablam), Toxe makes genre-blending music that fuses spitfire beats with twisted vocal samples, chewing up and spitting out everything from Britney Spears to T-Pain, and chopping up grime, R&B, cumbia, reggae, hip-hop and garage to make a startlingly fresh mish-mash of club-ready beats.
Other highlights of this collection include another cloud-filled sky rendered in extreme lucidity, "Savanah" by Gonzalo Ariza, a Colombian; a juicy self-portrait from 1933 by the Chilean Luis Herrera Guevara; a delightful grouping of set designs, some on paper cutouts, for the ballet Estancia (1941) by the Argentine Horacio A. Butler; and most startlingly, two hyperrealist portraits in watercolor and gouache from 1941 by the Uruguayan Gustavo Lazarini Terradas.
At Cafe Farohar, the food was startlingly fresh: scrambled eggs vivid with green garlic uprooted from the backyard; aleti paleti, an herb-strewn sauté of chicken livers, kidneys and lungs; and a glass of pristinely sour yogurt to be mixed with sev: skinny, crunchy strands of chickpea flour tossed with raisins and charoli, dusted in sugar and cardamom and given a flicker of rose water, scent deepening into flavor.
Kracauer starts from a seemingly self-evident premise: German expressionist filmmakers (like Robert Wiene, who made the 1920 classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, which gives the book its title) created startlingly artistic statements unlike any others in the rest of the world, shot through with a dark, foreboding sense of impending doom, which paired well with the rise of fascism slowly bubbling away in German society in the '20s and early '30s.
It is easy to imagine how this played with the global labels that spent months and countless dollars courting the talent, sending couriers and seamstresses whizzing across the planet to ensure that on this one night it would be Margot Robbie in Chanel haute couture, or Allison Janney in a startlingly chic red Reem Acra dress with a plunging neckline and angel sleeves, or Zendaya in a single-shoulder creation by Giambattista Valli reminiscent of old Hollywood.
Maybe she'll swallow a word, maybe she'll strain a note, most often the Auto-Tune itself will sputter and curdle, dropping into her voicebox all sorts of digital vibrations and rhotics the human voice would have trouble producing alone, and the result is a startlingly aching and lyrical vocal portrait of flawlessness frayed at the edges, formalist craft starting to break down, a distancing strategy starting to fail, a singer starting to question her self-alienated self-mastery.
That's obviously not much to work with in terms of reconstructing a full anatomy, but these fossils showed that Denisovans had molars unlike those found in Neanderthals or modern humans (specifically differences in size and the shape of cusps and roots), their jawbones were robust, protruding, and with no apparent chin, and the shape of their fingers was startlingly similar to ours (an observation that suggests Neanderthals evolved distinctive fingers, while modern humans and Denisovans retained their fingers from a common ancestor).
The vehicle for Rose and Doyle's startlingly strong collaboration is "Carmen Jones" (at the Classic Stage Company), a revival of the bizarre and politically archaic 1943 Broadway musical, with lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II. Hammerstein based his show on Georges Bizet's "Carmen," the 1875 opera about a "fiery" Romani woman who brings down a nice Spanish soldier; working with Bizet's score, he built his story around the similarly "fiery" and feckless Carmen Jones (Rose), a black woman employed in a segregated factory in the South during the Second World War.
It's getting even tougher to access (Kaiser Health News) Contractor proposed Glamour magazine profile for Medicaid chief (Politico) The startlingly high cost of the 'free' flu shot (Kaiser Health News) U.S. shelves plan to sharply cut nicotine in cigarettes (Bloomberg)   State by state America's 'Shame': Medicaid funding slashed in U.S. territories (NPR) Duluth, others must decide whether to join in massive opioid lawsuit or go it alone (Minneapolis Star-Tribune)   Op-eds in The Hill It's time to close the gap between adult and pediatric medical devices Presidential candidates should use their platforms to elevate oral health  View the discussion thread.
