![]() ![]() ![]() Andersen's fairy tales, consisting of 156 stories across nine volumes and translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. ![]() Hans Christian Andersen is best remembered for his literary fairy tales. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Lovligt byte janet evanovich![]() ![]() Lula, Connie, and Vinnie matched the book descriptions of the characters fairly well but everyone else was off. Time shouldn't have been the reason either because the movie ran only an hour and a half - if they'd gone for two they could have had a much better (and closer to the book) adaptation. There was nothing too extreme in the book that might not have fit in the PG-13 rating so why did they change so many things? It was like the added more dialog in places and took out the fun and exciting stuff. Maybe I'm in the minority but a lot of the really funny stuff in the book was in the details and these parts got lost in the translation to the big screen. I suppose the MAIN part of the plot is the same but the details are scrambled or in some cases completely left out. If you've read and loved the books this movie leaves a lot to be desired. ![]() If you haven't read the book you MIGHT like the movie. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Voices indriðason novel![]() ![]() We acknowledge (and remind and warn you) that they may, in fact, be entirely unrepresentative of the actual reviews by any other measure.

The experimentation began with a short test in the art department, which led to the process of adapting a painterly look to the animation. “In practice, this meant animating on 2s, 3s, or 4s - always working in concert with the textural details in the shot.” “The Bad Guys” Photo Credit: DreamWorks Animation LLC “Our motion departments also embraced the idea of reductionism - removing specific details in the character timing and effects animation,” Baer continued. Of course, this runs counterintuitive to physically based CG animation, so DreamWorks built a series of line work and dry brush techniques across every department to remove rich detail in an effort to generate flatter, more abstract versions of details we see in the real world. We created workflows and techniques that allowed our artists to remove all superfluous details from each frame, leaving just enough visual information to help define the shape and material.” ![]() ![]() “Our design philosophy was to use simplification to achieve our stylized look. The visual goal of “The Bad Guys” was “to create images that look handmade and illustrated while still maintaining a sense of physical light and volume,” VFX supervisor and “Trolls” alum Matt Baer told IndieWire. ‘Star Wars: Visions’: Volume 2 Expands Beyond Anime ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments The Rumor by Elin Hilderbrand![]() Prolific author Elin Hilderbrand brings us another view of life in Nantucket in The Rumor.

After introducing the main tenets and examples of the six most common categories of fragmentary texts, the article discusses two theoretical frameworks for analysing such works: Joseph Frank's notion of the spatial form and Sharon Spencer's idea of the architectonic novel. This article outlines the scope of the current proliferation of fragmentary writing -a category which rarely features in Anglophone (as opposed to French) literary criticism- and delineates its characteristic ingredients. Coetzee's Diary of a Bad Year (2007) and Richard McGuire's graphic novel Here (2014) are among the most notable examples of recent works that reject a linear plot narrative and a set of standard " readerly " expectations. The last decade has seen a revival of interest in novels that follow a fragmentary structure. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Immortal by gene doucette![]() ![]() ![]() One of the first things I learned was if there is going to be a mob panic, don’t be standing between the mob and wherever it is they all want to go. “I have been in quite a few tight situations in my long life.
