![]() ![]() Heard in the wake of Kanye’s muddled psychodrama, “Certified Lover Boy” - which with 21 tracks over 86 minutes somehow still feels tight next to the interminable “Donda” - is an enjoyment even at its bleakest. So it seems right in a sense that “Donda” came out first and set the parameters by which to judge both albums - even if the comparison hardly benefits West. But Drake achieved total domination only by building on groundwork Kanye laid in an earlier era less hospitable to adventurous fashion plates with gently eccentric flows. Today it’s all but impossible to overstate Drake’s influence on modern hip-hop (and, by extension, modern pop) he reshaped the form around emotion and melody, and the murky yet glistening production beneath his sing-rap vocals has become the natural sound of the streaming ecosystem. The story of #FreeBritney, as told by the movement’s leaders. What started as a blogger’s tagline has become a global rallying cry for justice and freedom. “Not sure if you know, but I’m actually Michael Jackson,” he raps in the new LP’s “ You Only Live Twice,” “The man I see in the mirror is actually going platinum” - a rare understatement by a commercial juggernaut whose previous album, 2018’s “Scorpion,” went platinum five times over.įor Subscribers Saving Britney Spears: The inside story of the #FreeBritney movement (The album whose records Drake broke? “Donda.”) 1 next week after setting new daily streaming records at both Spotify and Apple Music.

Drake’s sixth studio album so expertly displays his strengths that it came as a surprise to see the 34-year-old stumble over the weekend in his battle with Kanye when he leaked an unreleased “Donda” outtake featuring Andre 3000 - then was left looking petty and inconsiderate when Andre issued a statement lamenting his being dragged into the two rappers’ beef. ![]()

![]() But what they both really need, and what they find, is someone to just listen and to share vulnerability in return. Maddie needs a car to save her house, and Percy needs a date in order to come out of his shell. ![]() “No Hard Feelings” feels more substantive in these moments of cultural observation and emotional depth. It’s a scarily accurate skewering that should hopefully inspire some self-reflection. Meanwhile, the poor millennials are immature, jobless and living at home - too young to own property and too old to be TikTok stars, but at least they know how to have a good time. The overbearing Gen X parents enable their anxious, self- and cellphone-obsessed zoomer children, jettisoning discipline while trying to be “cool,” locked in a toxic co-dependent dynamic that never allows their children to fail, or succeed. What makes “No Hard Feelings” so sharp and funny though, isn’t the raunchy jokes or the physical comedy (though the sight of Lawrence bouncing Feldman on her knee might be the funniest image onscreen this summer), it’s the savagery of the generational social commentary underpinning the script by Stupnitsky and John Phillips, and no generation is safe. There’s a beautiful subtlety to his performance and a precision to his physicality that makes him an incredibly compelling screen presence, and their opposites-attract chemistry is ridiculously charming. He’s 19, she’s 32 he’s obsessed with rules, she’s on probation.įeldman, a 21-year-old Broadway star (“Dear Evan Hansen”) in his first starring film role, shines as Percy, the anxious, cautious foil to Maddie’s reckless wild child. Maddie and Percy forge a bond after a disastrous date that results in both experiencing harrowing bodily harm while in the buff, and something like a friendship blossoms between these two oddballs, who are odd in different ways. Maddie needs a car, and she’s willing to romance a (legal) teenager, so off she roller skates for what she hopes will be a quick and easy venture into sex work.īut of course, it’s never about the destination but the friends we make along the way, and “No Hard Feelings” would never deny us that journey. Her car’s been just repossessed, towed by her ex Gary (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and with unpaid property tax bills looming, she needs wheels.Įnter the weirdest Craigslist ad of all time: A pair of wealthy helicopter parents ( Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) would like to “arrange” for a young woman to date their sheltered, nerdy son, Percy ( Andrew Barth Feldman) in exchange for a Buick. There simply aren’t enough female dirtbags in cinema, so Lawrence’s Maddie Barker - Uber driver, surly bartender and pissed-off Montauk townie - is a refreshing character. It’s a “Superbad”-style story with the sensitivity and class consciousness of John Hughes, a delightfully raunchy streak, and Lawrence going for broke in a bold and bawdy performance as a rowdy Long Island surfer girl doing her best Mae West. Her follow-up swings in the opposite direction, kicking up her heels in a good old-fashioned sex comedy, “No Hard Feelings,” which she also produced.ĭirected by Gene Stupnitsky ( “Good Boys”), “No Hard Feelings” is a direct descendant of ‘80s teen coming-of-age comedies but evolved for a new generation. Last year, Lawrence produced and starred in the gritty indie film “Causeway,” as a veteran recovering from a traumatic brain injury, for a first-time female director, Lila Neugebauer. It was a smart move, because Lawrence is back now, and it’s a whole new ball game. So she fired her agents and took a break to get married and have a baby. ![]() But not all of those films were good, and Lawrence didn’t seem to be having all that much fun. A good film, and I enjoyed it.In 2018, Jennifer Lawrence was 28 and one of the biggest movie stars in the world: an Academy Award-winning actor, a veteran of the “Hunger Games” franchise, alternating between prestige projects and giant action movies. There is a lot of time given to plucking up courage. The film is slow in parts because these are teenagers given time to say things they find it hard to express. It is of the utmost importance when watching this film to read the subtitles carefully. This is not an action movie, but a story of psychological development. The final sequence shows self-doubt being finally overcome. ![]() This is one gay character who is not angst ridden, but comfortable in his own life and consequently able to be a guide and support. The two themes interweave – coming to see a bullying father for what he is, and using the character of a gay friend to help Martin, who is the victim of his own father’s anger, arrive at freedom and self-assurance. This is a pleasantly developed story, well acted and directed. Two boys on the edge of adulthood find themselves exploring their relationship. 1h 23min | Drama | 5 November 2015 (Brazil) ![]() ![]() We take pride in finding the rarest, highest quality examples of street legal RHD manual transmission Japanese cars and vans, complete with all required paperwork.

Handling and braking remain good- though 260 horses can get you into more trouble than the four-wheel-disc brakes can handle. Still, winding out each gear in the Red Line offers fleeting moments of excitement we would take any day over the Sky’s relatively pedestrian driving experience. The Red Line comes on right about where the regular Sky’s 2.4-liter engine calls it quits, but the turbo motor has less room to run its redline is 6,300 rpm, versus the regular Sky’s 7,000 rpm. There's not much extra room in the cockpit, but it's not overly tight for its class, either. The suspension is solid, but it delivered a fairly compliant ride on the mostly rough roads we drove. As RPM supported race teams around the country using GM’s 2.4L LE5 engine we continued to get the same feedback.

We just wish that the redline were just a little bit farther up the tachometer. The Red Line's engine hits its powerband at around 4,000 rpm and pulls powerfully up to its redline. The regular Sky is an unique roadster, and putting a turbocharged 260-hp engine under its hood finally meets the promise of its aggressive look.

Under them writhe a cowering mass of bodies representing the joys of peacetime – Harmony, Fecundity, Maternity and Charity. On the right side of the painting, the realities of war are laid bare: the monsters of Plague and Famine bring a black cloud into the sky, and in the distance raging fires appear to burn. Together, the young children represent the innocent who would flourish in peacetime, but will be vulnerable to the dangers that war brings. Three more nude children encourage Venus, including golden-haired, winged Cupid, identified by the arrows at his feet, and baby Asclepius, god of healing, identified by the symbol for medicine: a rod with a snake twisted round it. Below, a child struggles to carry the abandoned orb of rule, representing her lost authority. On the left of the scene, a dishevelled woman symbolising Europe throws her arms up in distress at the prospect of war, her eyes sore from crying. Mars turns his head to look at her, tempted by her great beauty, but the rest of his body stays firm and his sword and shield are thrust forcefully onwards. She attempts to restrain him by grasping his muscular arm. ![]() In contrast, Mars’ beautiful lover Venus, the goddess of love, is illuminated with clear sunlight.

Cornell, a clinical professor at Cornell Law School, who focuses on labor law. “The business community is really going to appreciate this,” said Angela B. An AP story says some businesses are happy that Biden issued the mandate because it takes the heat off the employer: For example, Google says it is undecided about whether it will allow employees to work remotely and be unvaccinated. The Associated Press says some big employers who clearly will be covered by the mandate have some decisions to make about whether they will require vaccinations. CNN reported 97 House Republicans refused to disclose their vaccination status, indicating the number is likely higher than 81%. But the figure could be different from that:ĭisclosure of member’s vaccination status has relied solely on an honor system, so an exact vaccination rate is hard to pin down. USA Today says that while the number is not certain, the best estimate is that about one in five members of Congress is not vaccinated. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said back in April there would not be a vaccine requirement for members of Congress and their staff.

Joe Leydon of Variety labelled the film "desperately unfunny" but considered the interplay between Ronan and Pfeiffer's characters to be among the film's highlights. In the film, Ronan portrayed the daughter of Michelle Pfeiffer's character and Paul Rudd co-starred as Pfeiffer's love interest. It was theatrically released in a few international markets in 2007 and given a direct-to-video release in the US in 2008, after it struggled to attract financing and several deals disintegrated during its post-production. Ronan's first film was Amy Heckerling's romantic comedy I Could Never Be Your Woman, which was filmed in 2005. During the same time, Ronan auditioned for the part of Luna Lovegood in the fantasy film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), a role she lost out to fellow Irish actress Evanna Lynch. Ronan made her screen debut on Irish national broadcaster RTÉ, in the 2003 prime time medical drama The Clinic and appeared in the mini-serial Proof. Career Early work and breakthrough (2003–2009) She was raised Catholic but has stated that she questioned her faith as a child. ![]() In her early teens, Ronan was living again in Dublin with her parents, who settled in the seaside village of Howth. Her parents later had her tutored privately at home. She was raised in Ardattin, County Carlow, where she attended Ardattin National School. The family moved back to Dublin when Ronan was three years old. ![]() Her parents were initially undocumented immigrants who had left Ireland due to the recession of the 1980s, and struggled economically during their time in New York. Her father worked in construction and in bars before training as an actor in New York, and her mother worked as a nanny and had acted as a child. ![]() Saoirse Una Ronan was born on 12 April 1994 in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, the only child of Irish parents Monica ( née Brennan) and Paul Ronan, both from Dublin. In 2016, she was featured by Forbes in two of their 30 Under 30 lists, and in 2020, The New York Times ranked her tenth on its list of the greatest actors of the 21st century. On stage, Ronan portrayed Abigail Williams in the 2016 Broadway revival of The Crucible and Lady Macbeth in the 2021 West End revival of The Tragedy of Macbeth. She also won a Golden Globe Award for Lady Bird. Ronan received critical acclaim and nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress for playing a homesick Irish immigrant in 1950s New York in Brooklyn (2015), the eponymous high school senior in Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird (2017), and Jo March in Gerwig's Little Women (2019). Her career progressed with starring roles as a murdered girl seeking closure in The Lovely Bones (2009) and a teenage assassin in Hanna (2011), and the supporting role of a baker in The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). She had her breakthrough role as a precocious teenager in Atonement (2007), which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Ronan made her acting debut in 2003 on the Irish medical drama series The Clinic and her film debut in I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007). Primarily known for her work in period dramas since adolescence, she has received various accolades, including a Golden Globe Award, in addition to nominations for four Academy Awards and five British Academy Film Awards.
