The spectacle maker 19344/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Big Band, Jazz & Swing Short Subject Collection. Warner Archive offer a number of excellent collections, including Our Gang and Joe McDoakes but three that I especially commend are Classical Musical Shorts from the Dream Factory, Vitaphone Cavalcade of Musical Comedy, and Warner Bros. Others will no doubt find it all pretty tedious. But, considering it's all pretty dull, who really cares?! This film is best seen by cinephiles and serious film historians. The acting is at times god-awful and the story comes off almost like a nicely produced high school pageant! the only thing I will add is that the summary on IMDb is not quite correct (the initial person to come to the spectacle maker was NOT the man in black but one dressed in gold). The Technicolor is a bazillion times nicer! As for the story, it's a schmaltzy tale about a spectacle maker who is given assignments to make magical lenses that show only beauty and later one that shows only truth. In fact, this DVD has a Cinecolor short as well-and the difference is staggering. Unlike the earlier Two-Color Technicolor and the competing Cinecolor, this early Technicolor film has a fuller spectrum of colors-making it REALISTIC compared to previous color films (which tended to look very green and orange). This is a film you watch less for the content and acting than for the amazing advancement it demonstrates-true full-color. Turner Entertainment has been packaging their classic Warner Brothers and MGM films this way-making them nice values for the home viewers. This is one of several shorts from 1934 and produced by MGM that accompany the DVD for "Treasure Island". The literary works of these three authors have been treated well by Hollywood, so perhaps it's not too late to hope that more of Harris' prodigious writing output will find its way to the screen someday. ![]() Perhaps by setting this story in 17th Century Germany, Farrow was referencing an inside joke as well as utilizing a beautiful standing set on the MGM lot, one that would be subsequently redressed for "A Tale of Two Cities," "Marie Antoinette," and "The Three Musketeers." A subsequent film based on Harris' work is the 1958 Jack Lemmon Western "Cowboy," predicated on early parts of "My Life and Loves" which were ultimately extracted from the memoir and published separately as "My Reminisces as a Cowboy." It's unfortunate that because of "My Life and Loves" infamous notoriety, many of Harris' other works have been largely ignored, including two books on Shakespeare and biographies on two of Harris' friends, fellow Irishmen Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw although his Wilde biography served as the basis for a 1960 film with Robert Morley about the author's sensational libel trial. For example, Harris emigrated to the United States and mentions having witnessed the Chicago Fire although records prove he could not have been there at the time (October 1871). Why did Farrow choose to adapt what was clearly an adult story in that fashion? First, Harris' greatest legacy rests with his notorious and sexually explicit memoir, "My Life and Loves." When Farrow adapted "The Magic Glasses" in 1934, memories of Harris' salacious autobiography were still fresh in the public mind (he died in 1931), and the director needed a setting that would distance him from the libidinous eroticism of "My Life and Loves." Harris has often been accused of engaging in a literary form of "Munchausen Syndrome." Baron Munchausen is synonymous with tall tales, and there are those who accuse Harris of compulsively fabricating material to such an extent that he ultimately believed them to be true. As translated by John Farrow in 1934, it appears to be an attempt at child's parable or fairy tale on the nature of beauty, truth, good, and evil set in 17th Century Germany replete with gorgeous three-strip Glorious Technicolor and music. Set in Edwardian England, his original story "The Magic Glasses" from his short story collection "Unpath'd Waters" is a metaphorical musing on the nature of aesthetics written for adults. "The Spectacle Maker" is one of only three films I'm aware of that were based on the work of Irish-born writer Frank Harris. ![]()

Most of them were fortunately fixed in Transport Fever, a Surprisingly Improved Sequel launched in 2016 with backwards compatibility for most Train Fever mods (either natively or using a mod that autotranslates the code so it to be usable with Transport Fever). Train Fever was an attempt at a modernised Spiritual Sequel by Urban Game, however it had a myriad of limitations and bugs. There is also a Fan Sequel of sorts, called Simutrans, but it's an indie game only Inspired by and not related or legally connected to the Transport Tycoon series. The Deluxe version introduced uni-directional signals, that only allow a train to pass in a single direction. The original Transport Tycoon allows only bi-directional signals, which allow trains to pass in either direction. The primary difference between the games is how signals operate. It contains numerous bugfixes and gameplay improvements, including new transport modes and UI. Transport Tycoon Deluxe is an updated version. An expansion pack for the original game, named Transport Tycoon World Editor, was also released in 1995, which featured a scenario editor (which was eventually included in Deluxe) and a "Martian" set of graphics. The two games in the series are Transport Tycoon (released in 1994 and now referred to as Original) and Transport Tycoon Deluxe (released in 1995). Transport is provided in all four major modes air, rail, road and water, though the most profit tends to come from rail and then air. The apparent object of the games is to end up with a monopoly of transport services for a usually randomly generated map.
Xxxtentacion graveyard4/30/2023 ![]() ![]() It also doesn’t sit right with me that Wayne has now had three posthumous collaborations with XXXTentacion, even after admitting he had no idea who the latter was until after his passing. It’s also got Adam Levine on it, which made it incredibly hard to finish the song even once. It has the most boring and repetitive guitar-trap beat imaginable. Trust Nobody is the worst offender of this. Every track just blends together as one big blur that just sounds mediocre. Wayne’s just talking about nothing and doesn’t even seem like he’s enjoying himself. A majority of the tracks just feels really devoid of effort. The production on this album sounds like Wayne went to YouTube, typed “Lil Wayne Type Beat”, and just used the most generic sounding ones he could find. Lil Wayne is by all definitions talented, but this album just does not cut it. The thing that surprises me the most is just how bad this album is. Funeral is also a nice opening track for the album, as if it’s promising an incredible album is coming. Wayne’s cadence on Mahogany is arguably one of the best showcases for his talent. The first three tracks, Funeral, Mahogany, and Mama Mia are all really solid songs, which just makes me feel like the album lied to me because it just goes down from there. There are things about Funeral that I liked, it’s just not nearly as many as my gripes with it. Genasis, and the late XXXTentacion, and none of these features sound good. The remaining features are Takeoff, The Dream, Lil Twist, O.T. I also don’t understand rappers’ obsession with adding a trash Adam Levine verse to their song. Despite having bigger names like Lil Baby, Big Sean, and 2 Chainz on the album, they provided almost nothing of quality to the songs. Unfortunately that’s where my next issue comes from, the features. I’ve already voiced my issues with longer albums before, but if there are features to help the flow of the album then I can excuse it. Firstly, the length of the project is an hour and sixteen minutes over twenty-four tracks. I enjoyed both of the albums, but I never have any want to go back to them and replay any tracks.īefore starting Funeral, I already had many concerns. ![]() I’ve only listened to two projects Wayne has released in full, those being Tha Carter III and Tha Carter V. When Wayne announced that Funeral would finally be released, it piqued my interested. I had never personally been a huge fan of him when I was younger, but I still love blasting Lolipop and 6 Foot 7 Foot when I get the chance. Whether you’re a fan of Lil Wayne or not, you can’t deny that he was a pioneer of the mid 2000s rap scene. Neat!įirst Eminem and now Lil Wayne, it’s been an oddly nostalgic start to 2020. If you read this upside down, it says Lil Wanye. ![]() Timberland garrison trail4/30/2023 ![]() ![]()

Even something as small as a gift card can go a long way in showing love to these amazing people. There are tons of small things that lets them know you are grateful. Give them back a dinner with the family, something to pamper themselves and relieve aching muscles, or a number of other “thank you” gifts.

Tell them all that you appreciate them and what they have done. As you ate dinner at home and talked about the pandemic, they were lucky to grab a snack between trying to fight it. Remember, while you were home with your family and complaining about not being able to go to work, they were missing dinners and precious time with their family so that other people’s family could live. Do not allow these heroic people to feel unappreciated. Photo by Zach Vessels on Unsplash Everyone! To the Coronavirus Helpers and Workers… Say Thank YouĪs the panic and the danger fades, it is easy to forget what healthcare workers and volunteers have done for us. ![]() For everything you’ve done during this troubling times, and for the service you provide every day, just know that your community is better for it. Worse… they forget that you provide this service every day. They forget the lessons you tried to teach them. All too quickly people are starting to forget. Now the situation is calming and the embers are dying out. You went home to a family that complained that they haven’t seen you much lately. You were yelled at for not being fast enough, while moving faster than you thought you were capable of. You were looked down upon and cursed for providing the very service that was most needed. Your efforts and sacrifices did not go unnoticed.ĭuring a time when so many people were out of work and in a panic, you were cursed by some for having a job. The world does see you and what you’ve done. I know that attitudes and tempers did not make your tasks any easier. To each of the healthcare workers and volunteers, I know you were faced with a lot. Everyone who did their part to better the situation thank you Coronavirus helpers. If you are one of these people, I want you to know that you are appreciated. These people are nothing short of heroic. Volunteers dug deep and did all they could to contribute in positive ways. Doctors and nurses waged an all-out war against something that threatened us all. In some cases, they were abused, taken advantage of, or simply just overlooked. Day in and day out they showed up and gave their all to their community. Others would not make it home until well over 20 hours after reporting for work. Some worked 18 hours in horrible and non-stop conditions. Healthcare workers got up amidst all of the troubles, and they went to work to try to combat a crisis that swept over the world. During all of this time, there were thousands of people who were struggling with the same problems, but were also going into hospitals and clinics to work 18 hour days. During the last several months, everyone has gotten hung up on politics, complaining that they can’t eat in their favorite restaurants, travel as much as they would like to, and so many other selfish things.

Drag that to your desktop, or wherever you want. Also, it does not appear that their website offers any type of support other then email. Head to Program Files > Windows NT and you’ll find an entire folder called Pinball. Hopefully the publishers are working on a fix for those of us that have purchased this game. $10 is a good chunk of change, relatively speaking, for this type of game yet it fails to ge the job done. Reading these reviews it is obvious this isn't something isolated to just my PC it is a problem inherit within the game design! All of the work that has gone into production of this game and because of flipper lag time the game, while I won't call it a flop, it's playability is definitely diminished. Microsoft Pinball Arcade attempts to simulate seven pinball games from manufacturer Gottlieb, the first being from 1931 when David Gottlieb designed the first. This isn't possible because the only interactive component of the game, the flippers, suffer from terrible lag time. HOWEVER, it's this simple: No matter how many hundreds of hours have been spent creaing the artwork and tweaking the physics engine to it's best possible, the game must provide as a realistic gaming experience as possible. I'm not sure why they chose the tables they did but most are entertaining. Weekly Neo Geo releases, Double Dragon this week and more upcoming Irem games as well as Psikyo games and a full release of The Pinball Arcade to look. The tables are beautifully rendered and the board phsyics are very good. Avoid this app at all costs.Ĭonsidering how slim the Pinball genre is on the OS X platform I have to commend the publishers for creating Arcade Pinball. These clowns are absolute ripoff artists. HOWEVER, be WARNED THAT THEY WILL FORCE THROUGH A HUGE NUMBER OF HOOPS AND LIE TO YOU CONTINUALLY IN HOPES THAT YOU WILL GIVE UP. The ONLY WAY to contact them is via facebook messenger. It’s not an actual phone support line as of course, they can’t be bothered to actually talk to you, their paying customer.Īlso, they DO NOT reply to email support.
