When you watch him in the ring, it seems at moments like his movements were imprecise, arms dangling like wind chimes, exhausted, staggering, bent backward at the waist, like lifting body parts was too tiresome a task to invest in completely.
I know that there's something briefly appealing about a massive-money video game having the same amusing visual quirks you find in productions running on an eighth of such a budget, and less, but after a while, this shit becomes tiresome.
In After the Reconciliation (2000), Godard appears once again, less aloof but equally tiresome, opposite Miéville herself as his wife; the two of them fall into a stinging series of conversations with a man and women whom they pull into their marital discord.
When you think of popular, marriage-minded dating sites like Match, you probably think of extensive questionnaires, cringeworthy forms about how honest or loving of a partner you are, and an all-around lengthy sign up process that is, honestly, pretty tiresome.
Hopefully that means we won't have to deal with tiresome and outdated Friend Codes for long, but Nintendo has yet to confirm exactly when these new methods will become available, nor whether it's finally going to kill the codes once and for all.
It's hard to talk critically about this stuff — girls and young women, manipulated images, and the implicit assumption of what those images are doing to their self-esteem — without coming off as a little bit hokey, or at the very least tiresome.
A tie-loosening four pints drunk at breakneck speed, as if everyone clinking glasses would never be able to sup the foamy head off a Stella ever again, followed by the same tiresome will-we-won't-we-yes-we-probably-will conversation.
This can be tiresome, as when I was cornered in a post office line, newborn on my chest, by an elder woman who gave me a fifteen-minute lecture on why I should be breastfeeding, including unsolicited recipes for lactation-boosting soup.
Feminist slogan t-shirts—at times made by a poorly paid female labor force—have become tiresome to many, but a beret retains connotations of political activism: worn by the artists, activists, and guerilla fighters of this world, from Che Guevara to Basquiat.
We've seen the pattern repeat itself so many times, it's grown tiresome: Trump becomes unhinged; Republicans pretend they didn't see it, or say they won't comment on every offhanded Trump comment, or just chuckle about his "unconventional" presidency; and everyone moves on.
The choreography is intriguing on paper (the work has an accompanying catalog that includes performing instructions for the modules as they apply to the musicians and dancers), but it has less to offer in its tiresome cycle of playful, turbulent and calm.
Now, I'm not advocating we bury our heads in the sand and totally ignore very real world problems entirely, but let's face it: this shit is tiresome, and without joyful, personal experiences to offset societal awfulness, we can really get lost in misery.
Techies are fond of the obviously false bromide that failure is O.K. If it is so fine, one wonders why no one is being held publicly responsible for anything, aside from the tiresome apology tours that are on replay in Silicon Valley.
The episode ends on yet another one of its tiresome non-cliffhanger cliffhangers — of course Rick's not going to die, not now — but its disturbing suggestion that empathy constitutes a fatal weakness in a world turned savage leaves a more bruising impact.
This is not to say I am an Elon fanboy, as I find the hagiography around him tiresome and even toxic when it comes to some of his acolytes, who cannot take one valid criticism of their leader without descending into madness.
Although "Small Days and Nights" succeeds in its first-person narrative (which is more truthful and wholesome than that of any character in Doshi's previous novel, "The Pleasure Seekers"), by the middle of the book Grace's listlessness and confusion can become tiresome.
With his gold teeth, thick Russian accent, and pet cockatoo, Vanko is basically a latter-day Johnny Depp character – and as with most latter-day Johnny Depp characters, there doesn't seem to anything like an actual person underneath all those tiresome affectations.
Debates about rap's generational crisis — agonizing over younger rappers less concerned with the work of rhyme than their elders — have by now become frequent and tiresome, but Blueface's music has spawned the unusual circumstance of people actually debating about art, rather than presentation.
While "The Wire" alum Wood Harris has brought some sizzle as a new foe for Lucious (Terrence Howard) and romantic interest for Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), the shifting alliances, allegiances and betrayals have grown tiresome, as if the writers were running out of combinations.
So while the biggest events have irrefutably changed, twisting the nuanced meaning that runs through the core of their existence into something that celebrates exclusivity and harbours a tepid, repetitive experience, there will always be something else waiting to burst through the tiresome malaise.
In this exclusive clip from the upcoming third season of the show, we see Claire facing sexism and tiresome old academics as she takes charge of her 20th century life, enrolling in Harvard Medical School and pushing boundaries, just as she did in the past.
There is also plenty of prison politics, and the ongoing, on-again/off-again relationship between Piper (Taylor Schilling) and Alex (Laura Prepon), which has grown increasingly tiresome, complicated by the fact that the two now find themselves on opposite sides of the wall.
Being caught in a traffic jam on New Year's Eve is probably one of the most tiresome situations to find yourself in, but these commuters in Mumbai decided to make the most of it with an impromptu flash mob in the middle of the road.
Obviously, The Walking Dead and its spinoff have grown hugely successful thanks to this formula, but it's tiresome to see Fear the Walking Dead abandon interesting ideas and potentially cool story arcs in favor of the same pointless wandering that doomed its parent series.
While the "Garland Briggs knew everything that was going to happen in the future" mysticism could get tiresome—a sort of deus ex Major-a—the message itself is obscure and straightforward in equal measure, a satisfying balance that promises both solutions and mysteries.
Last Friday's extravagant lunar eclipse—it was a Full Moon, Super Moon, Blood Moon, and the longest total lunar eclipse of the century—was especially tiresome for sensitive, Moon-ruled Cancers, especially since it was in the infamously cold, calculating, and rational air sign Aquarius.
Regulars with names like Shoegazer69 and Pervert_Otis seem unable to help themselves from devolving into tiresome debates over things like celebrity foot rankings, sniping at each other over whether Taylor Swift's toes deserve four stars or five, or whether Jennifer Lawrence had bunion reduction surgery.
It all got a bit tiresome, and we could wonder whether "fan throws something wacky on the ice" is really all that funny anymore—we did the rat thing 20-plus years ago, after all, and the octopus toss has been around longer than that.
I also want diversity, because of who I am as a person, what's important to me, but also because watching the same old stories with the same old beats and the same mostly white, mostly male faces is tiresome — and bad for the art.
Indeed, while the movie's over-articulated angst may be tiresome, one need only look through the two-dimensional drama to see a raw and heartfelt document, a homage to a sooty, ungentrified New York and the hard rain falling on its earnest bohemian inhabitants.
Calling it out, as I did after seeing Angelin Preljocaj's "La Stravaganza" (1997) for City Ballet in 255, or Mauro Bigonzetti's "Cantata" (239), performed by Gauthier Dance in 27 — feels as tiresome as watching it, and unpacking its history would take more space than I have here.
It has the same symbolic weight as Christo's "Wedding Dress" (1967), a performance piece of a woman in satin shorts and tank top covered in silk ropes that are attached to an enormous bundle of satin, a tiresome and restraining weight that she's dragging behind her.
"Correlation of, say, a declining number of polar bears and a rising temperature does not establish causation between one and the other, for it is not at all unusual for two things to co-vary in parallel with other forcing factors," the institute's tiresome report reads.
Compare that to the forced, grueling boredom of Red Dead Redemption 1's oft-debated first few hours, which starts with a 15-minute opening cinematic of a man sitting on a train, followed by missions of tiresome ranching, cow wrangling, wagon driving, and pest control.
Heaney nods from time to time—there is a tiresome instance of needless repetition in "And then they saw him, Misenus, on a dry stretch of beach/they came up and saw the son of Aeolus"—and he would doubtless have continued to polish had he lived.
This repetitive, sycophantic, and self-serving book, which is oddly written in the third person, is meant to ingratiate themselves to Trump—or "the boss," as he's referred to again and again—a man whose intellect, leadership, and stamina they praise for a tiresome 264 pages.
"With the exception of the tiresome Brexit discussion, the fact that this is being achieved seems to lie less in the hands of the Europeans themselves than in the further development of the two economic heavyweights China and the USA," said Sentix Managing Director Manfred Huebner.
As tiresome as it may be to list all the ways in which Mr. Moss's work falls short of its model, one more stands out as emblematic: In the film's breakdown scene, Petra smashes glass and stomps on a porcelain tea set, making an awful crunch.
Calling it out, as I did after seeing Angelin Preljocaj's "La Stravaganza" (1997) for City Ballet in 2014, or Mauro Bigonzetti's "Cantata" (2000), performed by Gauthier Dance in 2016 — feels as tiresome as watching it, and unpacking its history would take more space than I have here.
But it is also difficult to maintain that enthusiasm in the studio and make sure you're still committed to working hard in the studio, because it can be a bit tiresome at points if things aren't working or things aren't sounding very good you kind of can't be asked.
Scott Pruitt is dismantling EPA in secret for the same reason the GOP health care bill was secret The Trump Tango is tiresome and pointless "Barack Obama is to blame": 13 Alabama conservatives on Charlottesville The chair of Oklahoma's Democratic Party is 24 years old — and super-optimistic
It's not that this is unrealistic, or doesn't make for entertaining developments — indeed, one of the film's more dramatic moments occurs when a footman speaks unprompted to the king (a huge faux pas) — it's just that all the hand wringing about relatively minor issues can get a bit tiresome
Trailing by 224 points with seven seconds left in the game, Miami snapped the football at its own 224 and tried a play that was imaginative in the 257s but has since grown tiresome — the catch and lateral and lateral and hope for a miracle dash through the defense.
And as for the tiresome calls for draconian border controls, could immigration authorities really have foreseen in 2010 that a 22-year-old arrival from Uzbekistan — which is not on the list of countries on the Trump administration's travel ban — would be radicalized and evolve into a killer?
But this is the same tiresome ruse that Facebook leaders have used many times: pushing away responsibility for the ugly parts of their inventions onto the rest of us and conflating different, complex concepts — like paid ads versus free speech — in order to … well, I am not sure why.
I think that there have been so many emerging stories from the tech industry and we just keep hearing it, and keep hearing it, and keep hearing it, and it's so pervasive and people are ... It's so tiresome and it's very helpful to hear other people's stories, actually.

The real Donald Trump was back two days later with his now notorious "shithole" remark, asking why the United States should accept people from places like Haiti or Africa instead of nice Nordic countries like Norway, and then tweeting his tiresome demands for a "Great Wall" along the Mexican border.
The "NOW" evening also featured premieres by Lauren Lovette ("Papillons," an exercise in tiresome cuteness), Claudia Schreier ("Contra," a slickly athletic sub-Balanchine duet), and Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener ("3body," with Ms. Lovette joining the two men for a trite ménage à trois with mere glimpses of these dancers' abilities).
" Written words, Thamus concluded, "give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things but will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.
An end to the tiresome drudge of holding a glass of a fine single malt, warming it in your hand, watching the light play on its deep amber and mahogany depths, enjoying the warm winter aroma rise up as you swirl it in your hand, savouring the taste on your lips.
This dynamic could easily become tiresome to watch, but the personas that Succession's characters flaunt, whether it's Kendall's "business bro" posing or his younger brother Roman's (Kieran Culkin) unrelenting penis-centric humor, have gradually been peeled back, transforming my desire to see these idiots get their comeuppance into genuine emotional investment.
Contrast Max and Karen's chemistry with the lead characters in Snipes's previous interracial romance Jungle Fever, which posits that its characters are primarily tempted by social taboos and stereotypes; One Night Stand assumes they're hot for each other because their spouses are tiresome, and, well, they look like Wesley Snipes and Nastassja Kinski.
No more anxiety about telling someone at Trader Joe's to take their phone off speaker because hearing one side of their tiresome conversation is more than enough; no fear of telling the woman who is loudly berating her husband in Nordstrom Rack that the proper place for humiliating your partner is the street.
Rejecting the nascent women's-liberation movement, she nevertheless blamed sexism for the G.O.P.'s failure to fully embrace its most strenuous conservatives: The Republican Party is carried on the shoulders of the women who do the work in the precincts, ringing doorbells, distributing literature, and doing all the tiresome, repetitious campaign tasks.
"I realize this may not seem like a big deal to some, but when a plane is your bedroom and a flight the only time to get sleep during a hectic fashion month, it's tiresome," she captioned a photo of herself sleeping on a friend's lap while aboard the plane in their coach seats.
Though I maintain that calling Julian Raven's work "shitty" was a fair assessment, if he and his defenders would like some deeper criticism: I found it pretty tiresome that he chose as his symbols the flag, an eagle, and the yawning soulless collection of evil atoms that have taken the shape of our standing president.
You will also get some of these virtual supplies each time your character goes up a level, but you will likely run out of that supply before leveling again (especially if you are bad at throwing those Pokeballs.) Collecting these resources can become a tiresome chore, which makes the appeal of buying them all the more tempting.
The CRT filter is fun, if a bit tiresome after awhile; it overlays a copious amount of scan lines on games, mimicking what it was like to play on an old tube TV. It's a cute idea, and it feels fairly authentic, but the other modes look so good that I've found myself ignoring the CRT option.
Warren Ellis, the author of a smart, tight, occasionally tiresome new novel called "Normal," has been at work on the subject since the early 1990s and may have decided it was time to offer a sly acknowledgment of his own longevity: The book is about a sanitarium full of futurologists in various states of nervous breakdown.
By the mid-19463s, neo-Dada artists like John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns had begun to champion Duchamp's legacy, but Lebel's tiresome devotion to Duchamp widened that circle considerably: 1963 saw Duchamp's very first retrospective exhibition, at the Pasadena Art Museum, and in 1966 the Tate Gallery hosted a large exhibition of his work.
Having to rely on the other characters reading aloud what J.J. spells out on his letter board could end up proving tiresome, but Speechless instead feels like a fresh and funny story about a family with a special-needs child that doesn't try to overstate or underplay how J.J.'s cerebral palsy affects everybody's day-to-day lives.
If Sciamma's imagery (diaphanous scarves and, in one sequence, a strategically placed mirror) is often too-obvious, and her love for pregnant silences and doleful stares begins to feel tiresome, the filmmaker makes sure that "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" looks sensational: Claire Mathon's sensuous cinematography, glowing with candlelight and embers, is as much a character as the gorgeous women on screen.
" And he confessed near the end that "today, looking at The Graduate, I see Benjamin not as an admirable rebel, but as a self-centered creep whose put-downs of adults are tiresome ... To know that the movie once spoke strongly to a generation is to understand how deep the generation gap ran during that extraordinary time in the late 1960s.
The running battle between Clouseau and his nemesis, Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), suggests a third-rate Road Runner cartoon, while the racial stereotyping in Clouseau's obligatory, increasingly tiresome martial arts bouts with his Asian manservant (Burt Kwouk) seems a step away from the animated anti-Japanese propaganda from World War II. "Revenge of the Pink Panther" toyed with the idea of Clouseau's demise.
Also his shoes were bad, his team went from high-art Greek Heroes to Loathable Nutpunching Silicon Valley Rich Kid Heels standing in the way of genuine greatness in the span of a week, his wife got mad online, and his squad lost in the Finals after an MVP season and 73 regular-season wins, leaving Michael Jordan to step on their necks forever, at least in tiresome Best Ever arguments.
The irrepressible liberal obsession with "understanding" Trump voters—which has created its own tiresome media genre, the parachute-in article from the most benighted place in America filled with "real Trump voters"—arises from the desperate hope that if only these political adversaries can be properly "understood" or "empathized with," then they can be made, like Nike shoe buyers converted to Adidas, to "buy into" Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.
Tiresome as it was, it was a fun time—in a deranged, masochistic sort of way—with many threats of bodily harm, flag hurling, awkwardly long stare downs, spectators crowning the "winner" of each press conference based on whose verbal abuse seemed less scripted, and the principals redirecting their own gnawing insecurities re: money, fame, likeability, fighting style, and prospects of victory into headline- and video-package-ready sound bites.
For instance, the endless and often tiresome contretemps over the 1619 Project—last year's examination of slavery's centrality to the American story in The New York Times Magazine—is essentially reducible to a disagreement over whether our country is defined by a set of founding ideals, now and then betrayed or undermined by bad actors, or by a set of structural forces that have materially shaped our political and societal outcomes.
We found the gameplay to drag on a bit, and there were a lot of moving parts that made it a little tiresome and confusing, but the initial rush of gamification (collecting as many coins as you can, landing on spaces with power up cards, timed activities) was a clever gateway to the heart of the game—shooting the shit with your friends about your past, your present, and your inevitable expiration.
I'm not quite sure why this surprises people, except to say that people like to think that their animals—the cute, furry little prisoners they imprison in their homes, dress in ridiculous, humiliating outfits, feed poorly and otherwise manipulate for their own capricious whims—are in some way loyal to their owners, like they wouldn't rather just kick back with their fellow species rather than be forced to pose for another tiresome social media post.
But while Miller gets in some excellent snarls and Darvill visibly relishes the chance to play Time Lord after spending so much time on the Doctor Who sidelines, too much of the premiere is lost to tiresome fights between Firestorm's two halves, Atom just kind of wandering around and doing good in a Captain America sort of way, and Hawkgirl and Hawkman (Ciara Renée and Falk Hentschel) brooding their way through a dreary love story.
The dynamic Alexander Scheer (in the role of Lord Byron, whose poem "Manfred" is quoted from at length) and the high-strung Daniel Zillmann (playing a Parisian theater director) easily outshine the play's central duo: Martin Wuttke plays Faust with a thuggish gruffness that quickly gets tiresome; Marc Hosemann's muscular and mischievous Mephisto was more impressive — until this endurance test of a production took its toll and he began to lose his voice toward the end of the evening.
It indicates that the BRITs voting body is both atoning for grime's overlooked status at the ceremony in previous years, and is potentially turned off by Sheeran's tiresome, calculatingly business-minded approach to music, as evidenced by his acceptance speech for the Global Success Award ("This award isn't actually something that I have done 'cause the global success has come from all the record labels that I work with round the world, all the different people in Warner all over the world"), delivered as if stood in front of a PowerPoint in a boardroom.
The show is the work of Paolo Sorrentino, the acclaimed director of  the Oscar-winning Italian film The Great Beauty, and over and over it strikes the same two notes as that gorgeous, memorable and occasionally tiresome film: 1) an irreverent, even surreal absurdity that can be mesmerizing when it isn't undercutting itself by coyness (does the premiere really need to start with a dream sequence of Pius crawling out from beneath a mound of sleeping fetuses?); 2) a confidently chic minimalism that doesn't always resist the sin of ostentation.
Whether it's with cars, motorcycles, airplanes, speedboats, motorcycles, or monster trucks, The Crew 2018 is an endless stream of competitive events against AI that, while fun for a while, grows a bit tiresome as it becomes clear that this is the only thing there is to do aside from roam around aimlessly and do ill-advised things like this: In many other racing games, this would be perfectly fine, because the racing is exciting and fun enough on its own – whether because it's thrilling and over the top (like Burnout or Need for Speed) or engrossingly realistic (like Dirt or Forza).
