so much of the conflict in beautiful girls reads as “woe , the pain of basking in male privilege . ” this can be very annoying . but the film clearly aims to critique this attitude and demonstrate that its men would be much happier if they would just settle down ( emphasis on “settle” ) . so it’s possible that beautiful girls actually seeks to deconstruct gender stereotypes and attack the system which creates both the perils of the privileged and desperation of those who are not .

unfortunately , only darian gets an unequivocal smack - down when she’s soundly rejected by tommy and told off at her high school reunion by someone she bullied . the other disillusioned - by - privilege ( male ) characters in beautiful girls either find the peace of mind to settle with the women they have , or in the case of paul , give up the chase for the woman he lost . that this happy ending seems kind of sad belies how difficult it is to disengage from the allure of beautiful girls . the italicized and capitalized beautiful girls is just as frustrating and compelling as its lowercase namesake .

regardless of the interpretation , “beautiful girls” is a film in which types are given twitches , tics and touches by thoughtful actors — even michael rapaport , whose puerile - punk presence is almost always the kiss of death . ( not even the great tv series “justified” could escape his curse in what is largely considered its weakest season . )

some mad men episode titles are more difficult to decipher than others . “the beautiful girls” ( written by dahvi waller and mattew weiner , and directed by michael uppendahl ) is , as it turns out , all about the girls . at one point , in a scene near the end , the episode could almost be a fellini film , with don draper ( jon hamm ) in the mastroianni role , as seemingly every woman in his life parades around him .

and as for cooper , regardless of what fate lies in store for hostiles , he is prepping his next film about james earl ray , the man who assassinated martin luther king jr . in 1968 . he says it will be perhaps his most challenging yet , certainly something different for the actor - turned - director than his first four films . incidentally he told me the two beautiful young girls who play pike’s daughters at the beginning of the film are actually his daughters . pike was so impressed she asked cooper if one of them could join her next film . he turned her down , effectively killing off their immediate movie careers as surely as their characters in this film .

starring uma thurman , matt dillon and timothy hutton . the film , a sometimes caustic look at the lives and loves of single men in a small town , established demme as a promising young talent in hollywood - though , like many of his films , it didn ' t perform well at the box office .

rather than focusing on the rise of feminism , “the beautiful girls” portrays something that is difficult for mad men to portray precisely because of the rise of feminism : whatever their historical importance , these are imperfect , contradiction - laden characters trying to run an ad agency . history is secondary .
perhaps not unreasonably , rosenberg’s friends weren’t thrilled with his interpretation of them . loosely based on “beautiful girls” backlash , rosenberg’s “october road , ” a short - lived 2007 abc drama that he also set in knights ridge , concerned a hit writer facing the music when forced to return home .
the main thesis of beautiful girls is that men will never be satisfied with what they have because they can always imagine having something more . they’ll never be satisfied with the women the are with because there will always be other women they could be getting—prettier , younger , cooler , newer women . as the film’s voice - of - lunacy , paul ( michael rapaport ) explains in the films title - bestowing monologue :
: supermodels are beautiful girls , will . a beautiful girl can make you dizzy , like you ' ve been drinking jack and coke all morning . she can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise . promise of a better day . promise of a greater hope . promise of a new tomorrow . this particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl . in her smile , in her soul , the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it ' s going to be okay . the supermodels , . . .

hooray for your neon genesis reference . ohh , and maggie gyllenhaal played a depressant in the secretary , which is a great film .
no one could call beautiful girls a great film . it ' s too slight , it has no serious intent . it is , however , one of those rare movies where everyone and everything involved seem perfectly suited for the task at hand . demme would never make another film as good before his death in 2002 , and rosenberg hasn ' t matched it either . it ' s got , arguably , career best performances from hutton and portman , and rapaport , too , plus matt dillon ( lothario with the sham life ) in the charming form that makes him so watchable .
the other bit of dishonesty is endemic to this film and every other feel - good ensemble story like it : the notion that a brief reunion may just change the lives of almost all the principals in a few days ' time . but
beautiful girls
doesn ' t strain to accentuate the positive all that often . thanks to those actors and to scott rosenberg ' s easygoing , colorful dialogue , it stays nicely inviting most of the time .

my friend , gary fleder ( he directed “things to do in denver when you’re dead” ) was in a meeting with the abc president , steve mcpherson , when mcpherson commented that “beautiful girls” was one of his favorite films ; why doesn’t someone do a tv version of that ? gary called me and asked me what i thought .
beautiful girls is a romantic drama about seeing the beauty in all females in all the facets of every man ' s life . it just took willie to come home to realize that . it ranges from the beautiful but
mean as a snake
darian , to the inner beauty and personality of gina , the beauty of a mother and a wife in anne , the smarts and sexiness of andera , down to the potentially stunning and witty marty , just to name a few of the great female characters in the film . willie realizes the value , the individuality , and the ranging beauty of all these women throughout the film , culminating with the arrival of his fiancee , tracy . these realizations , along with his friends , lead him down a path of clarity that sets his future into motion .

they say a good soundtrack can make or break a movie , in this case you could say it ' s the other way round . the soundtrack to ' passengers ' is a great soundtrack but when it is coupled to the beautiful film it accompanies ( which i have thoroughly enjoyed , twice ) it becomes a masterpiece .
tommy rowland can ' t let go of his high school sweetheart , darian smalls , even if now she ' s married to another man , and he has a girlfriend . michel morris seems satisfied with his wife and children and the others are constantly mocking him for being too content and for not wanting an affair or a beautiful girl . they are all dreaming of tall , beautiful girls but deep down they realize that their destiny is to dream , shovel snow and marry a local , not so perfect girl .

’s “diner” . but i tried never to even think of that one . because then i would have just been paralyzed . because that film is nearly perfect . a few years ago , i was skiing in colorado , and i was in a bar and some snow - boarders in their early 20s came up to me . they had heard i was the dude that wrote “beautiful girls” . and they wanted to tell me that their whole group of friends watch the film once every few months . i told them that is so cool . and that my friends and me used to watch “diner” once every few months . and the snow - boarders shrugged and asked me : “what’s ‘diner’ ? ” and i realized that “girls” was for these kids , what “diner” was for some of my friends . and that was perhaps the coolest thing of all . . .

as i remarked last week , one of my very favorite films of all time is the 1996 flick beautiful girls . but , being that no one that i’ve mentioned the movie to as of late has ever even heard of it , i’m guessing it was pretty much a sleeper hit , despite its all - star cast . nevertheless , i’ve absolutely loved the film ever since it first came out almost fifteen years ago and have probably seen it no less than thirty times . so , when i found out that [ … ]

i don ' t really care how much the latest superhero film took at the box office , although i ' d probably know if you asked me . when i watch a film the main thing i am looking for is a good story . i like it when i look up at the big screen and can see a part of me staring back at me . more than anything , i am still looking for jimmy stewart and jack lemmon and billy wilder in every film i see .
despite its rather suggestive title , this film is as sweet and innocent as the lovely natalie portman making snow angels . there is , of course , a more substantial level to the film - leitmotivs of friendship , love and return to innocence feature strongly - which leave you with something more than feeling good about the world . although the principles of good ol ' hometown america are prevalent the feel of this film is anything but conventional , introducing us to the sometimes bizarre world of mid - west america . it ' s not uncomfortable , just different . a truly lovely film that will help you appreciate your friends and their often brutal honesty . . . .

she continued , “to be able to show these women who are intelligent , full of heart , and who are responsible but take a weekend to cut loose , is a beautiful thing . a movie through our lens and our culture , it still has universal themes that doesn’t make it gender - specific or even color - specific , and that’s a beautiful thing to be moving in that direction . ”

instead , he brought the star - studded cast to atlanta , miami and new orleans for advanced screenings with fans and online tastemakers , including black millennial website hello beautiful , to generate excitement among african american women . at an event at new orleans ' luxurious theatres at canal place , packer told moviegoers of his wish to make a film that encapsulated the experiences of black women .
1 ) when you get a film with a notable beefcake factor , people make a huge deal of it . 300 is the clearest example , but i saw like three soft - news pieces about how the shot in casino royale where danny craig walks dripping out of the ocean was “payback” for the decades of gratuitous bond girls . certainly there is beefcake , but it’s rare enough to be newsworthy . a similar shot of a woman ( of which there were several in that film , come to think of it ) would not occasion comment .
did ted demme gain cred based on his last name and his uncle’s own award - worthy cache in the same mid - ’90s timeframe ? perhaps . the cast of “beautiful girls” in particular is so stacked the names practically cascade across the opening credits . but he doesn’t coast in either this or “the ref , ” and clearly capitalized on the chances he was given no matter how few they were .

released in conjunction with the release of the film , the novelisation was penned by raymond benson and adapted from the screenplay by neal purvis , robert wade , and bruce feirstein .
i think it ' s the kind of screenplay that everyone tries to write when they begin screenwriting , the script about a bunch of friends in a small town figuring their lives out . but rather than having the complexity and subtlety of ' beautiful girls , ' they tend to be quite boring and soap operatic - - were you concerned about this when you were writing yours ? how confident were you ?
demme ' s conversational film is about the gaping chasm between what men say and what they feel . it may not tell us anything new , but its eloquence is quietly rewarding .

there ' s something very dramatic and compelling about someone coming home , and the effect that has on him and the people he originally left behind . we see it again and again in your work - in ' october road ' , ' beautiful girls ' - and even in ' gone in sixty seconds ' - - - is it coincidental that you ' ve revisited this theme or is it something that fascinates you ?

although cooper told me at last night’s dinner reception for the film that terrence malick’s days of heaven was an inspiration , this movie is closer kin to films like ford’s 1956 masterpiece the searchers with john wayne . in fact cooper has at least three shots that might best be called an homage to the searchers , and anyone who knows that film will recognize them right away .

in the words of the writer himself : “it was the worst winter ever in this small hometown . snow plows were coming by , and i was just tired of writing these movies with people getting shot and killed . so i said , ‘there is more action going on in my hometown with my friends dealing with the fact that they cannot deal with turning 30 or with commitment . all that became ‘beautiful girls . ’ ”

stay cool . stay cool forever .
this film tries its best to make that wish come true .

so 1996’s beautiful girls , an ensemble belated - coming - of - age story centered around new york city pianist willie ( timothy hutton ) returning to his hometown for a high school reunion , starts out on notice because it centers on big ideas about the way men are . and that’s before it goes down an even more troubling lolita - esque road . and yet , it’s one of my favorite movies . i’m just not sure if i should qualify it as a guilty pleasure .
what ' s nicest about the film is the way it treasures the good feelings people can have for one another . they emerge most tenderly in the friendship between willie and the 13 - year - old girl .

, for that matter ) , the straight forward techniques by horner are exactly what the film needed . for a movie with so much narrative , including an excess of characters , it may be surprising to note that
a beautiful girl can make you dizzy , like you’ve been drinking jack and coke all morning . she can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man – promise . promise of a better day . promise of a greater hope . promise of a new tomorrow . this particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl . in her smile , in her soul , the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it’s going to be okay .


avalanche express is a 1979 cold war adventure thriller film produced and directed by mark robson ( his final film ) , about the struggle over a defecting russian general .

it starred lee marvin , robert shaw ( in his last performance ) , maximilian schell , and linda evans .

the screenplay by abraham polonsky was based on the 1977 novel of the same name by colin forbes .

both shaw and robson died near the end of shooting .

i really enjoyed avalanche express , for one its got great acting by some great actors who were , by this point , a little past their time , ( lee marvin , robert shaw ) , but thats a good thing , because it shows that out of date actors can act . two the storyline is kept nice and simple and it doesn ' t take much to work it out , and three , the action scenes are brilliant . action comes in the form of a car chase , a train being chased and attacked , a train nearly being destroyed by an avalanche , shootouts and a ship being destroyed . the film is also very intense and for the entire 88 minutes , you are on the edge of your seat . avalance express is highly enjoyable , recommended to anyone loves a good bit of edge - of - your - seat entertainment or a decent action movie . trust me , this film is excellent .

if the coin lands the other way up , grubbier face exposed , we ' re in for one of green ' s disreputable stoner romps . to date these have come in three varieties : good ( pineapple express ) ; bad ( the sitter ) ; and bewildering ( your highness ) . the special thrill of prince avalanche lies in its refusal to commit to either heads or tails : it ' s essentially an art movie into which two goofballs have stumbled from a multiplex comedy . watching it , one never feels , as some did with those coarser movies , that green should keep off the grass .
in this work we presented an analytical investigation of an abelian soc model that describes some aspects of rainfall . this model shares many properties of the abelian dr model , but as it allows for the presence of holes within an avalanche cluster , it has some properties of its own .
the avalanche lost for the first time in the young season under new coach jared bednar , who replaced patrick roy when the hall of fame goaltender resigned abruptly in august . they were noticeably fatigued from an overtime victory monday in pittsburgh and needed varlamov to be sharp to stay in the game .
though based on a 2011 icelandic film , either way , prince avalanche is really green ' s tribute to the movies of his adolescence : 1980s hollywood comedies as well as more deadpan fare from ( or influenced by ) europe .
there was an arthouse cinema in dallas that i started going to around the age of 14 to see a type of movie i never knew existed before . stranger than paradise , wim wenders , aki kaurismäki . prince avalanche references that era of my enthusiasm . they weren ' t necessarily comedies , but you could tell the directors were smiling on set .
curves that express the critical pressure as a function of temperature have the form of the peninsula of chain combustion ( see figure 1 ) . figure 1 depicts the combustion peninsulas for the oxidation of silane at various silane concentrations in oxygen . a similar picture is observed for practically all oxidation reactions and many fluorination reactions . the experimentally observed curves correspond totally to theory .
as the crucial difference between the two models lye in the presence of holes inside an avalanche cluster , the results show that they cause the rainfall model to have a smaller probability of larger events in comparison to the dr model , specially for small lattices . in the thermodynamic limit , however , the two models belong to the same universality class .
as the function p reflects the constant flux property , it does not directly measure the size f of avalanches , that is defined by the number of sites that topple . to obtain the function r ( f ) we first relate f to the number of rows that an avalanche reaches . to this purpose , we have to evaluate n ( t ; t 0 ) , the average number of events in which the row t is active , i . e . , in which at least one site in the row t topples when a grain is added at row t 0 . it is easy to observe that n ( t ; t 0 ) = n ( t  t 0 ; 0 ) , so that we simplify the notation to n ( t ) , assuming that the grain is added at t 0 = 0 . thus , the probability ( t ) that one avalanche exceeds the row t is n ( t ) / c ( t ) , where c ( t ) counts the number of distinct configurations of the lattice until row t , i . e . , c ( t ) = , with s ( t ) = ( t + 1 ) 2 indicating the total number of sites that can be reached by an avalanche . if ( t ) , a decreasing function of t , is characterized by some exponent a , the average mass m ( t ) that topples from t must increase with t a , in order to keep the constant average flux . then we obtain for the integrated mass f ( t ) ~ t a + 1 , so that after inverting this relation to t ~ f , we can express ( f ) º ( t ( f ) ) ~ f  . as ( f ) expresses the probability that an avalanche exceeds the total number of sites f , it is related to r ( f ) by
other soc models , that were initially proposed based on the so - called gradient condition for toppling , as the bak - tang - wiesenfeld ( btw ) model [ 2 ] , also belong to this class , provided the variables are conveniently re - interpreted . but , as far as they allow for multiple toppling for a single avalanche , they are not exactly integrable .
it ' s no exaggeration to say that the release of pineapple express was received by some of green ' s early supporters as a betrayal—of them and of his own talent . it was as though paul thomas anderson had directed police academy 2 , or david fincher had made the care bears movie .
there seemed to be real bafflement over it ,
says craig zobel , the director of the recent thriller compliance , who worked on green ' s early films and produced prince avalanche .
that to me is bizarre , because if you hang out with him , you can ' t get three words into a conversation without starting to laugh . he ' s such a funny guy and yet he ' s made some austere , serious movies . that ' s the dream , right – to wrongfoot everybody ?
the asm class includes a much larger number of models , some of which can be exactly integrable . a model suggested by a very crude description of drop avalanche inside a 2 - dimensional cloud , the abelian rainfall model [ 5 ] , is quite close to the original dr model . however , it allows for the presence of holes inside an avalanche cluster , what is found in the dr models only for dimension d > 3 . although the numerical simulations suggest that this model belongs to the same universality class as the d = 2 dr model , its analytical solution is still missing . such solution can clear out whether the presence of holes inside an avalanche cluster changes or not the critical behavior of the model . the purpose of this work is to discuss a full analytical solution for p ( s 1 ; s 0 ) of this model , and to prove that , in the infinite lattice limit , r ( f ) is indeed described by the same exponent as in the case of the dr model . we also analyze in which extent , results for finite size lattices for the two models differ from each other .
due to the presence of holes in the avalanche clusters , the form of the coefficients c t ( , ¢ ) for the rainfall model becomes very cumbersome as the value of t increases . however , for the dr model in two dimensions ( u = 0 in ( 2 . 4 ) and m th = 2 ) , c t ( , > ¢ ) has the very simple form :
the only reason
avalanche express
will ever be mentioned again is that actor robert shaw died while the film was in production . sadly even his voice is heard only briefly in two scenes . the rest of his lines had to be dubbed . it is one of those goofy espionage thrillers with a large cast of mostly has beens that were popular in the 70 ' s . where else can you see a movie with joe namath , linda evans , and lee marvin ? yes , bad movie lovers , this is the film for you . for fans of shaw , probably any other film he made is better then this one . pay tribute to this fine actor by watching

ovechkin scored his first goal of the season on the power play and assisted on one of t . j . oshie ' s two goals as the capitals solved some early season woes and beat the tired colorado avalanche 3 - 0 on tuesday night . the well - rested capitals skated circles around colorado , which was playing the second half of a back - to - back and its third game in four days .
formulary east - west spy saga involving a kgb defector , a biological warfare programme , and running battles on the transcontinental express . hammily acted and obviously subject to cobbling after both robson and shaw died before the film was completed , it ' s awful but given a certain fascination by the disjunctive editing style which reduces abraham polonsky ' s script to an abstraction , and which it is tempting to ascribe to monte hellman ( called upon for ' post - production services ' after robson ' s death ) .
ruthless cia agent lee marvin uses defector robert shaw to entrap soviet scientist maximilian schell in this ill - fated cold war thriller . set on a cross - border train impeded by blizzards , the film suffered its own tragedies when both shaw and director mark robson died before the film wrapped . the repair job on what was left doesn ' t hide the joins , though the acting still has an impressive energy and the avalanche special effects have power .

it seems to be so in green ' s case . he makes zero - budget , critically - acclaimed art movies alongside vulgar multiplex comedies , glossy super bowl ads and episodes of the dry hbo sitcom eastbound and down . his follow - up to prince avalanche , a violent thriller called joe starring nicolas cage , premiered last month at the venice film festival and there has long been talk of him remaking dario argento ' s luxurious horror , suspiria .

i never knew people had a fixed idea of who i was , or that i even had a fanbase , until everyone was surprised about pineapple express . i felt like , ' wait a minute , where were all you guys when those smaller movies came out ? ' but i took it as high praise . people should just be aware that i ' ll explore all the sides of myself as a director . there are gonna be lots of different versions of me before i die .
when ( f – g ) > 0 , the concentration of the active centers and the rate w increase at an avalanche - like rate over time . if , on the other hand , ( f – g ) < 0 , then the concentration of the active centers and thus the reaction rate are very low , since the chain initiation rate w 0 is low . the transition from one reaction mode to another occurs abruptly at the critical condition ( f – g ) = 0 .

the exact solution for the dr model is based on the evaluation of the probability distribution function p ( s 1 ; s 0 ) . it measures the probability that a site s 1 topples when one grain is added in a site s 0 , and takes into account all configurations of the lattice which satisfies this requirement . the knowledge of p ( s 1 ; s 0 ) opens the door to a large number of properties of the model , including the function r ( f ) , that measures the relative number of avalanches r of a given size as function of the avalanche size f .
the first analyses by dhar and ramaswamy [ 4 ] considered a model ( dr ) based on a critical height criterion for toppling , i . e . , a site becomes unstable and topples when its amount of mass exceeds a threshold value m th . in this model , a site topples to exactly d distinct neighbors . this is a directed and deterministic model as , i ) the toppling rules breaks the isotropy of the lattice and avalanches develop along one direction ; and ii ) a deterministic rule indicates the fixed number of grains that each site receives when an unstable site topples . these two properties impose the condition that each site topples only once during an avalanche .
prince avalanche was shot quickly with a skeleton crew and a budget raised seemingly from emptying piggy banks and reaching down the backs of sofas . rudd , so often cast as a grinning everyman , is clipped and cross behind his tom selleck moustache ; the usually intense hirsch looks and acts like he ' s auditioning for jack black : the early years .
i wanted to twist what you expect from those actors ,
says green .
i ' m really happy with their chemisty – or their anti - chemistry . the characters are basically kids . there ' s no profanity ; they call each other jerks and dummies . they say things like , ' you ' re the worst person in the world ! ' and ' you can ' t catch me ! '
although the time profiles of gamma - ray bursts ( grbs ) show extremely diverse behavior , their average statistical properties such as the average peak - aligned profile and the autocorrelation function show simple stretched exponential behavior . this could indicate that the diversity of all bursts is just due to different random realizations of the same simple stochastic process where the process is scale invariant in time . we illustrate how both the diversity of grb time profiles and some important average statistical properties can be reproduced in this way using a simple toy model for a stochastic pulse avalanche , which behaves as a chain reaction in a near - critical regime . we suggest that one possibility for the underlying physical process for generating grbs could be a
chain detonation

novel silicon detectors with charge gain were designed ( low gain avalanche detectors - lgad ) to be used in particle physics experiments , medical and timing applications . they are based on a n + + - p + - p structure where appropriate doping of multiplication layer ( p ^ + ) is needed to achieve high fields and impact ionization . several wafers were processed with different junction parameters resulting in gains of up to 16 at high voltages . in order to study radiation hardness of lgad , which is one of key requirements for future high energy experiments , several sets of diodes were irradiated with reactor neutrons , 192 mev pions and 800 mev protons to the equivalent fluences of up to φ eq = 10 16 cm −2 . transient current technique and charge collection measurements with lhc speed electronics were employed to characterize the detectors . it was found that the gain decreases with irradiation , which was attributed to effective acceptor removal in the multiplication layer . other important aspects of operation of irradiated detectors such as leakage current and noise in the presence of charge multiplication were also investigated .

a film that chronicles the events of the hindenburg disaster in which a zeppelin burst into flames .
was very ill during filming and died during its production . his voice was so weak and his delivery was so shaky because of his illness that his voice was dubbed by
also dubbed three words near the end of the picture (
harry , come on
) and six words in shaw ' s own voice were deemed usable (
too hot in that train
and
harry

i had limited expectations for this after reading some of the reviews ; nevertheless i had to watch it as i am a big lee marvin fan . it actually proved quite enjoyable . it is just a workaday thriller , but the art direction , set design and cinematography are all superb , making the film quite a piece of eye candy . the seventies were no peak of aesthetic appeal , but this film makes the era appear about as good as it ever got . the shots of the train moving through the snow - covered alps look like travel posters or christmas card art . the wardrobes are elegantly restrained by 70s standards , and the interior décor and accessories are all excellent for the period . i would have given 4 stars except for the fact that this version was apparently transferred from a squeezed film element meant to be shown through an anamorphic lens to produce a 2 . 35 : 1 aspect ratio . as a result , all the actors looked borderline anorexic and the automobiles all appeared to be just three feet wide and six feet long .
this dvd arrived on time and in good condition . this is a fabulous movie , great cast , great story and exciting to the last minute . a must buy for your collection to view many times over .
this is worst video quality of any amazon instant video i have purchased . the image appears to be compressed ! it is like watching a movie through a fun house mirror ! amazon , have your qa people check this one and fix it !
surprisingly well thought out plot . conclusion is actually kind of interesting in light of contemporary events and how various security services actually make decisions and operate out of public sight .
this is a pretty good action movie . some of the twists dont make sense like what happens to lee marvin in the beginning of the movie .
fantastic cast , but the plot is weak . nevertheless , i enjoyed the movie and watching lee marvin
