|
The poem, as throughout the volume, gets world-weary ("It feels like time is only ever running away from us") in a way that perhaps doesn't speak directly to the children and teenagers who will be drawn to the pictures.

The earlier work, from 228–221, depicts the self-confidence of the artist in his 22018s, while in the later painting, from 1670, a world-weary and recently widowed Murillo paints himself at the behest of his four teenage children.
|
|
On The Night Of, she's playing the world-weary flipside of her character from Kenneth Lonergan's great 2011 film Margaret: a woman who's old enough to have seen it all and can cut through everybody's bullshit in about five seconds.
|
|
Of those three films, Goodman probably only should have been nominated for Argo — where his world-weary Hollywood makeup artist was much more lived-in and nuanced than the catchphrase-spewing producer played by Alan Arkin, who actually garnered a nomination.
|
|
Meanwhile, Father Tomas experiences visions of an exorcism in Mexico, which eventually causes him to seek out the world-weary Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels), the kind of priest who isn't above pulling a gun on a colleague dispatched by the Vatican.
|
|
This week's episode of This Is Us scaled the poignant peak of Heartbreak Hill — as in William Hill — which has been looming forebodingly in the distance for a while now, and brought us the final verse of the gentle, world-weary poet/musician.
|
|
When defense attorney John Stone (John Turturro, also world-weary; this is a world that tires its characters out) shows up near the end of the of the episode, Naz at least has an apparent ally, but his situation is barely improved.
|
|
The sitters avoid eye contact with the viewer (as a stand-in for the artist), and when they do, as in his self-portrait from 1857-58 in the collection of the Clark Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, they look wary and world-weary.
|
|
The show lives off the tension between Cross's grand-guignol theatrics — the latest killer wears not only a creepy Guy Fawkes mask but a halo of halogen lights, like a self-contained circus sideshow — and Elba's immensely world-weary, endearing performance as Luther.
|
|
It's based on The Coldest City, a comic by Antony Johnston and Sam Hart, and screenwriter Kurt Johnstad has heightened two key elements from the detective fiction that so obviously influenced the comic: a world-weary protagonist and a hyper-convoluted plot.

|
So much so that the 22-year-old German will head to the French Open sounding just a little world weary and with few backing him to match or even better last year's run to the quarter-finals, still his best Grand Slam showing.
|
|
I became the sort of person who resisted going to a museum because I was a world-weary cynic, convinced that Monet and Seurat were just bait to lure suckers into a gift shop where their masterpieces were sold on mugs and T-shirts.
|
|
If Maddon is half manager and half hipster-shrink, a man who warns of the dangers of "confirmation bias" when making game decisions, Giants Manager Bruce Bochy is the world-weary trail boss, too polite to tell reporters their psyche-probing questions are a hoot.
|
|
When the news broke on Sunday morning, many transgender people, world-weary, saw it as grimly predictable: With two weeks to go until the midterm elections, the Trump administration was considering a new move that would undermine federal civil rights protections for the transgender community.
|
|
Unlike Presley, he eventually won serious critical respect for his work, especially in such later roles as a world-weary criminal in "The Man on the Train" (503) and as a man who seeks revenge when his daughter's family is attacked in "Vengeance" (250).
|
|
Grace, Sarah, and Dani each represent different brands of feminine toughness: Grace is a military vet with a tough, self-sacrificing mindset, while Sarah is a world-weary, seen-it-all smartass who's turned trauma into an aggressive cynicism she wears like ablative armor.
|
|
In the videos, where she appears in an early '10s teen-girl uniform — crimson hair, cat-eye makeup, beaded ring bracelet — the look on her face is impossibly world-weary: more veteran hauled out of retirement than ingénue in search of her close-up.
|
|
Larraín underlines this by shooting her conversations with the journalist (in which she appears like a hardened, world-weary, chain-smoking New England housewife) as a series of shots in which both she and her interlocutor are centered in their frames, cutting back and forth.
|
|
I tell him I consider it to be one of the most realistic depictions of teenage girlhood ever filmed, possibly due to the fact teen girls are similar to middle aged men in that they have the same world weary contempt for and distaste of society.
|
|
From the sparse, ghoulish chill of "Take Ya Pik, Nik!!!" to the reverberating judders of "Smash," The Best sees Omar-S in world-building mode, taking his inimitable knack for big house tunes and lacquering them with aching pathos—bravado, weighed down by a world-weary melancholy.
|
|
The pilot opens with a shot of Rue as a fetus in-utero while Zendaya intones her most world-weary voiceover, "I once was happy," before the camera zooms out of Rue's mother's vagina to symbolize the wrenching pain of birth and the eternal end of happiness.
|
|
CAITY WEAVER Probably not since Josef von Sternberg used costuming to transform Marlene Dietrich from a plump German starlet into a mesmerizing world-weary femme fatale in "Morocco" has a director deployed fashion in the service of atmosphere and character more astutely than Wong Kar-wai.
|
|
Played with winsome exuberance by the 18-year-old Nicholas Barasch ("She Loves Me"), this Huck Finn is at once wide-eyed and willfully world-weary, a fair-faced boy with romantic notions of danger and no real sense of the harm the world can do.
|
|
"shattered:" Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign Most compelling character: Not Hillary Clinton -- but that's by design, as Allen and Parnes' thesis about the campaign's failure depends on Clinton's being framed as simultaneously world-weary and naive, controlling and remote, distracted and obsessive, but most of all, incredibly boring.
|
|
The United States may want to wash its hands of South Sudan, but it would be a profound moral and strategic mistake to leave America's values and interests in the hands of Beijing simply because we have become too world-weary to execute a plan of our own.
|
|
That's no doubt why so many workers, abused and aggrieved by the capital flight of major garment brands like Jack Wolfskin and Uniqlo, typically fell silent or expressed a world-weary brand of fatalism any time I suggested that they might seek remedies through the Indonesian political system.
|
|
He, too, witnessed the death of the hippie dream and its subsequent sublimation into excess amorality, and much of his work dealt with the type of people the Allman Brothers Band had once been––restless junkies and world-weary lowlifes, finding flashes of beauty amid the turmoil around them.
|
|
The setup for "The Sandman" is a bit of a stop-me-if-you've-heard-this-one-before joke, a familiar recipe: A serial killer, so intelligent and seductive he seems able to murder people from beyond his maximum-security cell, matches wits with a world-weary, brilliant cop.

|
A Word With At the end of the spring, Bobby Moynihan was a world-weary New Yorker, appearing weekly on "Saturday Night Live," where, for nine seasons, he played such endearingly oblivious characters as Drunk Uncle and Anthony Crispino, and impersonated the "Fox & Friends" morning host Brian Kilmeade.

|
At first glance, it appears to be a simple, side-scrolling beat-em-up in thrall to River City Ransom, but it blends life-sim elements from games like Persona and Shenmue with punchy combat and excellent, world-weary writing that you wouldn't expect from a pixel-art tale about delinquent school kids.
|

Watching that first six-minute video now, it's striking how many of the things I came to love about Horizon are all there: Ashly Burch's world-weary voice acting as the orphan Aloy; the startling juxtaposition of futuristic robots roaming a prehistoric world; and the elaborate mystery of how it all came about.
|
|
During my four hours with Cattelan, I saw three distinct sides of him: He was the "court jester of the art world," clowning me with riddles and larks; the sad man, world-weary and haunted by the fear of failure and self; and the romantic, optimistic for what the future might hold.

There was Lisa, the alcoholic who checked herself in to prevent herself from taking another drink; Sarah, the overwhelmed college student who attempted suicide a few days earlier by swallowing all her antidepressants; and Amanda, the affluent housewife who'd recently lost both her husband and brother and felt too world-weary to go on herself.
|
|
In reference to that line from the Armand Hammer song "Hatchet Job," I just always found it interesting when White Europeans/Americans with such privileged history as global conquerors could adopt this sort of gothic and world-weary approach when that philosophy has lived in the spirits of oppressed people all over the world.
|
|
Though Mr. Turturro has little in common with the world-weary lawyer — the character suffers from a crippling bout of eczema on his feet and has a Dr. Zizmor-like subway ad with a cheesy slogan: "No Fee 'Til You're Free" — they have at least one thing that connects them: They're both New York characters.
|
|
Even as Ashton gets ready for her own play's debut, she is still performing eight times a week in "Betrayal," where Ben Brantley in The New York Times praised her "breakout" turn as a vulnerable, world-weary wife caught in a love triangle between her husband (Tom Hiddleston) and his best friend (Charlie Cox).

I have adopted adult dogs before, and I know there's always a period of adjustment, a time when infinite patience and constant reassurance are required, but I have never seen anything like this silent little dog with Groucho Marx's wild eyebrows, this scruffy, world-weary animal who so often bears a look of desolation.

The bloody mayhem and gruesome wounds really probably only rate a PG-13, but the choices the film presents as the only logical reactions to the world — weary, resigned cynicism or semi-accidental violent rampage — might warrant an R. Younger viewers who pick the second option might get ideas about stocking up on nunchaku and throwing stars, like Tony.
|
|
It was one o'clock: time to record the big Act I duet, "Elephant Love Medley," a mega mashup of some twenty pop songs, in which the bohemian-poet hero and his world-weary courtesan inamorata argue over the nature of love in her elephant-shaped dressing room, sampling lines from U2, Whitney Houston, and Phil Collins.
|
|
The podcast features one-off anthology-style stories ranging from gothic thrillers to Wild West heists; but interwoven between them is the ongoing fantasy-noir story of Juno Steel, a world-weary private eye who lives on Mars and winds up frequently saving the universe — all while trying not to lose his heart to a wily cat thief.
|

According to Compton, Eliza works because its creators "constructed a little world where everything is flattering to the AI." But while those parlor tricks might work for a chatbot therapist, they're not quite sufficient to convincingly create an ingenue farmer's daughter, or world weary sex worker, or any of the numerous other characters that populate Westworld.
|
|
At the same time, the film partly alleviates, however unwittingly, Rudyard Kipling's weighty colonialist baggage, both by giving Mowgli, an Indian child, a golly-gee American voice, and by casting George Sanders as the villainous tiger, Shere Khan, who sounds just as you would expect a world-weary British royal to sound after centuries of pillaging.
|
|
While gin maintained a generally urbane and sophisticated image in the 20th century—bringing to mind the world-weary crumple chic of Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, or perhaps Ian Fleming propping up the bar on his third industrial-strength martini—it bears mentioning that the drink consumed in 18th-century London was a far grizzlier beast.

Shot in Israel in conjunction with Keshet Studios, "Our Boys" unfolds (slowly, it should be noted, and with subtitles) from multiple perspectives, including the frantic parents (Jony Arbid, Ruba Blal Asfou) of the boy; and Simon (Shlomi Elkabetz), the world-weary investigator with Shin Bet, the Israeli Security Agency, tasked with solving the crime, even if his bosses don't relish the answers.
|
|
But the combination of tastefulness and relentlessness with which Detroit approaches its subject matter is careful and dutiful and rarely resonant, despite Boyega's heartbreakingly world-weary gravity, despite Anthony Mackie's exhausted anger as a just-returned Vietnam vet being treated like an enemy combatant in his own country, despite Poulter's chilling smirk, and despite the terrifying visuals of tanks rolling down a city street.
|
|
And there's certainly room for this kind of artisanal woolly sweater on the TV scene: The real world and the headlines it generates are not much fun these days, and when the actors in the best-written "Modern Love" installments are on their A-games, it's hard to resist the appeal of these amiable, slightly world-weary stories of connection in the big city.
|
|
The women's stories are at the center of "Waves" and "Queen & Slim," two films that popped this season in large part to the star-making performances of their young female stars: Taylor Russell in "Waves" ("an open-faced heartbreaker," wrote The New York Times); and Jodie Turner-Smith, who played the world-weary "Queen," across from Daniel Kaluuya, with deep reservoirs of steel and grace.
|
|
That means their mothers (Sandi McCree as Carole Brown and Yvette Nicole Brown as Shirley Bivins are especially intense); their manager and choreographer Brooke Payne, played by Wood Harris, who conveys a world-weary swagger with the tiniest cock of the head or extinguishing of a cigarette; and their manager (in this case Gary Evans, a fictional stand-in for the group's manager in its late 1980s pop heyday), played by a manic Michael Rapaport.
|

THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS In a six-part anthology film, the Coen brothers apply their sardonic wit and world-weary outlook to several different flavors of western: Tim Blake Nelson stars in a violent riff on a Gene Autry musical; James Franco tries his hand at bank robbing in Sergio Leone country; Zoe Kazan appears in what is, amazingly, her second wagon train picture (after "Meek's Cutoff"); and Tom Waits steals the show in a Jack London adaptation.
