There's a family-affair feel to the whole exercise, with Franco as Wiseau -- adopting a peculiar accent and unkempt mop of hair -- and his brother, Dave Franco, playing Sestero, who is initially caught up in Wiseau's enthusiasm before beginning to grow weary of apologizing for his pal's strangeness.
|
|
U.F.O.F. and Two Hands churn the stomach much in the manner of the giant insects in Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind; both use revulsion as a distancing device, a way of emphasizing strangeness and ultimately inspiring awe at a system that is beautiful and alien.
|

It's OutRun, the teddygirls sub-culture, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rez, cafe racers, WarioWare, Blümchen, the 1950s, modern dance, Akira, F-zero, Space Harrier, Sia, Gradius, the 1980s, Charli XCX, Sailor Moon, Ouendan, Tron, Rhythm Tengoku, Punch-Out, and a good portion of ourselves, strangeness and mysticism stuffed into a blender.

|
|
There's a whole other reality there, scurrying under a very different sky: They have as little knowledge of you and your priorities as you had of them, and every new seam of strangeness just goes to show that the world is far richer and more complex than you ever thought.

That episode is smartly built, using fantasy and flashback, spiked with elements of theatrical glory and strangeness: Wise's daydream of a date at Coney Island; a knock on his cell door that echoes the fatal knock on the window of a fast-food restaurant which drew him into the park.
|
|
The doughnut shop scene is a blatant product tie-in, but it also offers a moment of sweet and refreshing strangeness in the midst of an otherwise tedious and formulaic big-budget production, in part because it's the sort of out-of-left-field bit you might have found in the original series.
|
|
The scale of the Russian doping enterprise, which went beyond the rudimentary provision of banned substances and destruction of tainted tests to include obstruction of justice on an international scale and an in-house sidebar in extortion, is staggering mostly because of how clearly it reflects the strangeness of the people up top.

He just finished a tepid storyline with Sheamus, another talent of supreme averageness, in which they feuded for the title; Sheamus started a group of non-American wrestlers called The League of Nations, who are mostly together by virtue of McMahon thinking foreigners are united by the strangeness of their un-American status.

|
About 10 years ago I read his three autobiographical novels, which are just not like anything else: There's a gossamer delicacy of feeling that teeters on the edge on feyness, but it's never precious, because there's also a steeliness in the writing, a detachment in his willingness to confront real emotional strangeness.
|
|

|
|
She is also the result of what happens when adjacent institutions commingle: rap and corporate America, the internet and the music business, reality TV and social media fame, white feminism and shallow intersectionality, Florida's strangeness and a local-color rap trend not unlike the 20013th-century literary movement in its encapsulation of regional quirks.

|
|
Dependent on translators, and caught up in the fast-moving situations and the complexity of the ongoing wars, I scribbled furiously in my notebook, overwhelmed by the strangeness of it all—by the openness of people, their crazy generosity, and the splendor of their cause, a first in the Middle East, if not in world history.
|
|
All the President's Memes Willy Staley explores the strangeness of having a 73-year-old president posting memes to Instagram: This incentive structure, in which an easily distracted person says a bunch of stuff he kind of means to an assembled audience, slowly learning what generates a reaction and what doesn't, is familiar: It's like posting online.
|
|
Difficult questions about race, Orientalism, imperialism and the sexual exploitation of the poor are squarely raised by "The Glamour of Strangeness"; and one is ticklishly aware, while reading about these advantaged bohemian adventurers, that more than 19173 million people, an all-time high, are currently categorized by the United Nations as refugees or internally displaced or seeking asylum.
|
|
"I learned a lot from the show about how to make all of my strangeness speak to a wide variety of people… I'm excited to deliver what I believe in more clearly, dramatically, and glamorously, and lead weird people who love drag to be political and countercultural, because that's when I believe drag is most powerful," she explains.

|
She doesn't raise the curtain so much as tear it open.) What Alcott's novel needed, as a movie, is a filmmaker with her own sensibility (Gerwig is fond of throwaway profundities, wildness, physicality and human strangeness), somebody who hasn't adapted a beloved book just because it's beloved but because she's found in it something to say.
|
|
In addition to Sanneh's choice to devote so much space to the musings of an obscure blogger who lacks the courage to use his real name, there is the strangeness of the effort, on the part of the blogger and others, to place Trumpism in the context of a coherent intellectual world view that Trump himself clearly doesn't possess.
|
|
Not just because I was better versed in the allusions to the Watchmen comic and the elements establishing Laurie's plot as directly related to the comic, but also because I was more game to let Laurie take the lead, to redirect us from the strangeness of last week's surprise UFO ending to something comparatively more procedural.
|
|
The exhibition, like the others commemorating the artist's centenary here and elsewhere, is consistently marked by the ever-morphing strangeness of Schiele's vision, from the gnarly, oversized hands belonging to the five-year-old Herbert Reiner, to the hyper-stylized symmetry of "Portrait of Edward Kosmack" (1910), to the harrowing embrace of "Death and Maiden (Man and Girl)" (1915).
|
|
And, not to take this discussion in a Jeremy Bearimy direction, but the revelation of Jeremy Bearimy is also kind of a reminder of just how wonderfully nutty this show can be — the episode comes close to being the platonic ideal of a Good Place episode, in that it's chock full of philosophy with a side of supernatural strangeness.

He basked in the strangeness of the environment, and the general overwhelming nature of the world at large, and emerged with this weird, misshapen, and equally overwhelming record It is inevitable that music will be a product of your experiences, but over the course of the last year that's one of the things that Lopatin has really been fixating on.
|
|
Here was the stuff of theater — events that were almost preposterous in their strangeness: clandestine meetings, often run by those who had no experience with such things; people's lives constantly put at risk; governments threatened with calamity; emotions rising and falling at an operatic scale; people pushed to the brink of what they thought possible as friendships were fused and torn apart.
|
|
His films, forged from a mix of influences—Asian as well as French—often emphasize the risk and strangeness inherent in familiar social worlds, by injecting fantastical or otherwise unpredictable elements into them: Corporate competition becomes a bloody, eroticized spectacle in Demonlover; Personal Shopper makes the fashion industry feel like a natural setting for a ghost story or a stalker-themed thriller.
|
|
At the end of that temporary stint — during which Glick's deep skills as one of New York's best contemporary character actors (namely, his ability to channel his own inherent strangeness, his high voice often cracking, his knees seemingly quaking) were on full, glorious display — the director, Michael Mayer, asked if he wanted to take over the role after Groff finished his contract.
|
|
He told me later of the strangeness of sitting in the back of a helicopter, watching over his enemy lying peacefully unconscious, doped up on painkillers, while he kept checking the sniper's vitals, his blood pressure, his heartbeat, a heartbeat that was steady and strong thanks to the gift of blood from the Americans this insurgent would have liked to kill.

It's OutRun, the "teddy girls" sub-culture, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rez, cafe racers, WarioWare, Blümchen, the 1950s, modern dance, Akira, F-Zero, Space Harrier, Sia, Gradius, the 1980s, Charli XCX, Sailor Moon, Ouendan, Tron, Rhythm Tengoku, Punch Out, and a good portion of ourselves, strangeness, and mysticism stuffed into a blender Where do you even start with a list like that?
|
|
We saw some of the weirdest collaborations ever (Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X pale in strangeness next to Post Malone and Ozzy Osbourne); covers that weren't quite covers (Tory Lanez's "Luv Ya Gyal // Love Songs"; Kelsey Lu's gender-flipped "I'm Not in Love"); and songs that didn't really have, uh, notes (Sunn O)))'s meditative single-note tracks from Pyroclasts).

THE ANARCHIC, LITERARY strangeness of Phillipson's art has marked her not just as one of the most exciting of a new generation of artists — she has a solo show this spring at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, and will do a commission for Frieze Projects in New York in May — but also as a pioneer for poets and artists seeking inspiration from each other.

" Ariana's clearly owning her horniness, and embracing that new swagger, even if it's not the speediest gait to get from A to B. —Kim Taylor Bennett | LISTEN During a recent show, Mouth Tooth's guitarist Max Turner looked out into a crowd of applauding attendees to note the strangeness in having people clap in response to such sad fucking music: "That song was clearly a cry for help.

If you thought Pamela Anderson's video for Love magazine's advent calendar was the epitome of sexy strangeness, just wait until you feast your eyes on the blooper real, compiled by director Doug Inglish, in which the former Baywatch babe has her cake and definitely eats it too…and slips in it, rolls around it, rubs it on herself, and, well, you get the gist.
|

The late Annabella Ogden Proudlock, who died last year, was an arts activist, collector and art dealer who co-founded Harmony Hall, an art gallery in Ocho Ríos, on Jamaica's north coast; she once told me that, over the years, her gallery showed and actually somehow managed to sell Daley's unusual works to collectors who appreciated their strangeness and their affinities with classic, European art brut.

This is the last stanza of "Hart Crane Saved from Drowning (Pines 1926)": But the naked Cubano all testicles and rod laving amid ripe tendril of the water ridges trumped fate with desire: so he postponed his resolve for six years and a boat and a woman In its momentary strangeness, "laving" carries the sonic traces of three other words: loving, living and laughing.

I want to keep pushing my look and my performances in new directions… I learned a lot from the show about how to make all of my strangeness speak to a wide variety of people… I'm excited to deliver what I believe in more clearly, dramatically, and glamorously, and lead weird people who love drag to be political and countercultural, because that's when I believe drag is most powerful.

Satisfied and delighted, blessings now counted — swimming, night, bed, poetry, good friends — sleep comes easily to Bo. Crowther's book has all the delightful strangeness of Margaret Wise Brown and Garth Williams's classic "Little Fur Family," but "Stories of the Night" takes place in a hand-wrought, colored-pencil forest made resplendent with rich tones, particularly a shocking pink, so warm and cheerful it fills the woods with joy.

"Oslo" (at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse) is a good, if overlong, piece of journalism-theatre—you know, a play that's been "ripped from the headlines" or the history books, presumably to add heat and immediacy to the proceedings—but it has moments of strangeness that suggest what might have been had the playwright, J. T. Rogers, and his director, Bartlett Sher, been more interested in taking risks.
|
|
His voice and delivery amuse, as his plain, masculine deadpan allows him to mock his own presence as a vocalist and the weird phrases coming out of his mouth, lending the words a welcome strangeness; it's marvelous to hear him utter bits of turned folk wisdom like "A circle does what a circle does best" and "The past never gave me anything but the blues," as if these are familiar American idioms.
