The show then proceeds to introduce its handful of sullen, squabbling, antisocial characters, also brought together by a mysterious genius (played by Timothy Dalton), whose powers are more of the curse than blessing variety, including Robotman and Negative Man (voiced by Brendan Fraser and Matt Bomer, respectively), Elasti-Woman (April Bowlby), Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero), and Cyborg (Joivan Wade).
Trump has been compared to a number of individuals, both real and fictional, but as the president becomes increasingly temperamental, sullen, and paranoid in the face of an expanding Mueller investigation and his plummeting popularity, his similarities with the director, writer, and star of the cult classic The Room become more apparent with each passing day.
The author inventories his ill-fated passengers with a queasily clinical efficiency, delivering such a doozy of a crash that he unintentionally hamstrings everything that follows: Once 77 passengers and six crew members are fatally dispatched, why should we care about Richard's laboriously etched pursuit of a news anchor job or his ex's sullen parlays with a rebound boyfriend?
In those moments, you somehow know that if you referenced that sullen checkout girl's acne, or calmly informed a rude guy on the subway that his father hadn't loved him, or told that unpleasant woman at a party to stop overcompensating for her second-rate education, it would ruin not just their day but maybe their week and month, too.
He never actually said that the infosec community has collectively spent long enough as a sullen, nihilistic teenager full of misguided angry contempt for the rest of the world, and it is past time for it to grow up, move out of its basement and finally begin to play well with others and develop at least a hint of compassion, empathy and humility.
The crime had all the ghoulish ingredients of a potboiler: the sudden disappearance of a wealthy landowner and Harvard graduate, George Parkman (pictured); another Harvard man—John Webster, a professor of chemistry and mineralogy—as prime suspect; a dismembered body presumed to be the victim's; a sullen janitor who supplied the anatomy laboratory with cadavers; and a trial reported in screaming headlines.
Scrawled on a form by a bureaucrat, they meant an end in sight to weeks or months of torment that involved queuing through the night, being sent from pillar to post in pursuit of documents, having your loyalty to the Communist Party checked, being grilled about your purpose and sources of funding, and having to slip cigarettes to sullen officials.
The one adjective that most drawers seem to agree on when describing the template is "cute": The subtle upturn of the lips and gentle raise of the hand, which looks as if it's waving hello — although it could be doing something less innocent — are far sweeter than the previous character, which lacked both arms and a mouth and looked sullen.
In its moments of grandeur I hear post-rock greats like A Winged Victory for the Sullen, and smaller moments remind me of the lonely Sandy Bull or even Sufjan Stevens' more outré impulses (all of which basically means its a worthy companion to the solitary vision of Appalachia in Jenks Miller's solo work or Villages' earthy instrumentals on Bathetic Records).
When Trump rushes to congratulate Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for passing a referendum that bolsters autocratic rule in Turkey—or when a sullen and insulting meeting with Angela Merkel is followed by a swoon session with Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the military dictator of Egypt—how are the supporters of liberal and democratic values throughout Europe meant to react to American leadership?
An opening number, "Hello From Winterfell," introduces the noble Stark family: Ned (the sturdy tenor Milo Shearer); his wife, Catelyn (an imperious Delilah Kujala); and their daughters, Arya (Meghan Modrovsky, as a sullen, rapping teenager) and Sansa (a one-note Allison Lobel), and sons Robb (Jeff Bratz) and Bran (Randy Wade Kelley, one of several actors fielding a few roles).
That character is Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison), a sullen 12-year-old orphan who's been bounced around the foster-care system so often that he responds to his latest adoptive family, Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and Hector (Sam Neill), by wearily getting straight back into the police car that brought him to their rural New Zealand farm, and waiting to be delivered somewhere else.
My favorite bit of graffiti was from one of them, in a nod to perhaps the most memorable moment of the tournament's press coverage: when Novak Djokovic, sullen in defeat, sulked into auxiliary Interview Room 2, which by the time of his quarterfinal loss had been decommissioned, and refused to move, leading to an overstuffed news conference by a 12-time Grand Slam champion without cameras or microphones.
Divided into five sections, each named after a biblical episode, "The Son of Joseph" is a fanciful repackaging of the Nativity (the media notes, perhaps seizing on Hollywood's zest for recycling, call it a "reboot"): A sullen teenager, Vincent (Victor Ezenfis), raised by a nurse (Natacha Régnier), learns his father is a vain publisher, Oscar (Mathieu Amalric), who can't even keep track of how many children he has.
Her sullen and disrespectful behavior during and after Trump's speech slighted the veterans who risk their lives for us, the parents whose children have been murdered by Islamic terrorists, Juan Guaido, whom Trump named the "legitimate president of Venezuela," the 28503-year old Tuskegee airman whose grandson wants to grow up and become an astronaut, and Tony Rankins, a homeless veteran who found work and purpose through one of the administration's Opportunity Zones.
Outside in the chill and abasement of Leicester Square, all of London's screaming commercial colours are greyed out by the wind and the sheer misery of it all; crowds of sullen shoppers barge into each other's shoulders as the world's worst breakdancers feebly do the worm on the cold pavement to 20 German exchange students; but inside the largest Lego store on the planet, everything is warm and bright and a perfectly-selected soothing yellow.
Among the impressive young cast members are Emma Grimsley as the sullen Barbara; Sahoko Sato Timpone as Ms. Soon-Yi-Nam, an assertive factory owner and Susana's former employer (Mozart's Marcellina); and Ethan Herschenfeld as Babayan, an Armenian mafioso (Mozart's Bartolo.) And the next time I see a mezzo-soprano singing Cherubino in Mozart's "Figaro," it's going to be hard to forget the sassy way the light tenor Dwayne A. Washington turned this character into Li'l B-Man, who stole the show.
Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump pushes back on recent polling data, says internal numbers are 'strongest we've had so far' Illinois state lawmaker apologizes for photos depicting mock assassination of Trump Scaramucci assembling team of former Cabinet members to speak out against Trump MORE on Saturday pushed back against a New York Times report that described him as "sullen" and struggling to meet the demands of a general-election campaign and fully grasp how he should behave in order to attract voters.
For example, you could point out that Bran (83) is named after literally the most disappointing cereal known to humankind (28) has a sullen moodiness that could eclipse even the most gloomy antics of a teenage Billie Eilish fan stuck perpetually moaning "bury a friend" to themselves and no one else (28) can see the future basically as well as a weatherman who showed up to his broadcast late because he spent all morning fighting with his ex-wife and not forecasting the freaking weather.
CreditCreditRichard Avedon Foundation In 21965, Richard Avedon published "Nothing Personal," a lavish coffee table book with gravure-printed portraits of individuals who do not fit into any single classification: Allen Ginsberg standing naked in a Buddhist pose opposite George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party; the puffy-eyed Dorothy Parker, her bags containing a lifetime of tears, side by side with a sullen and deflated, if still-shimmering, Marilyn Monroe; a young and earnest Julian Bond among members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; and the grizzled William Casby, who had been born into slavery about 100 years earlier.
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
