the quiet is a 2005 american drama thriller film directed by jamie babbit and starring camilla belle and elisha cuthbert .

it focuses on a deaf-mute teenage girl , dot ( camilla belle ) who goes to live with her godparents ( played by martin donovan and edie falco ) after her father dies , where she slowly learns the disturbing secrets of the family , primarily concerning their teenage daughter , nina ( elisha cuthbert ) .

the film was acquired by destination films , which released this film in the united states theatrically through sony pictures classics on august 25 , 2006 , and marketed with the tagline : " is n't it time everyone hears your secrets ? " .

the film 's soundtrack features songs by low , cat power , le tigre , and numerous beethoven piano sonatas .

many reviewers complained that it was sleazy , exploitative and difficult to watch , and that it was too serious to be satire , yet too camp to be taken seriously .

one strength of the quiet is that it does not deal exploitatively with the incest / sexual abuse issue in its quest to generate tension .
a cheerleader ( elisha cuthbert , left ) confides in her deaf adopted sister ( camilla belle ) , in the quiet .
the result is mean girls without the satire and with more grating extremes . the quiet is like a sensitivity study in reverse , showing callous teens at their worst .
but six years after he stepped down , the public response to news that he has now been freed from detention has been remarkably quiet .
loud or quiet is a top down shooter where the aim is to make as much money as you can , either loudly or quietly .

a successful movie would quiet the naysayers . ut has its fingers crossed for burnt orange ' s first feature , the quiet , which premiered at the prestigious toronto international film festival earlier this month . the movie , which stars elisha cuthbert , camilla belle , edie falco and martin donovan , met with mixed reaction . it hasn ' t yet found a distributor .
shhh : a ' quiet ' exclusive watch elisha cuthbert lay out her murderous plan in this clip from the thriller . will camilla belle turn a deaf ear ?
while her family in

the film ' s producers would like us to keep this quiet . . . this is supposed to be a thriller , but the only time we were thrilled was when it was over .
all quiet also had its share of innovations to go along with its budget . it was the
the first talking picture to use a giant mobile crane for filming
( source ) .
yes , it ' s true : elisha cuthbert does not take her clothes off in
the quiet
— emotionally , however , she ' s never been more naked .
the quiet : drama . starring edie falco , elisha cuthbert , camilla belle and martin donovan . directed by jamie babbit . ( r . 91 minutes . at bay area theaters . )
at best , the film acquires inadvertent guilty - pleasure tackiness . anything this creepy and absurd can ' t be taken seriously , so you settle . but that doesn ' t get the quiet off the hook for utterly failing its characters .
the french soldier has a totally thankless role in all quiet on the western front . he takes cover in the same crater as paul , and paul promptly stabs him . ( it ' s war , y ' all . ) the soldier then spends . . .
hi . josh here with prima supply . we ' re here today to talk to you about about two of the quietest commercial blenders on the market today . we ' ve got the vitamix quiet one and the stealth by blendtec . these are two blenders at the top of their class .
though such horrors bear scrutiny , the quiet sees them solely for sensationalism . dot ' s new family serves as twisted backdrop entertainment for her own journey of discovery , which isn ' t that compelling .
do not adjust your television sets ! all quiet hasn ' t been the victim of pan - and - scan , and fiddling with your settings won ' t get rid of those scratchy lines you see .
falco ' s mom is almost ignored by the script , and her bizarre deed at film ' s end makes no sense . in fact , almost nothing about the finish makes sense , but we won ' t ruin the quiet ' s own ruination with spoilers .
so what ' s really special about these is that they ' re quiet . let ' s run both of them and show you just how quiet they actually are for your business . as i mentioned before , we found the vitamix to be slightly quieter , but not by much . we ' re using an app called decibel ultra by which we tested them at about medium speed and about full speed .
working with such old - school material , the mpcc had to stick with all quiet ' s 1 . 33 : 1 aspect ratio . they also couldn ' t digitally remove all the wear and tear on the 35 mm film—which coincidentally , is the same size film you ' ll find inside those camera canisters your parents keep in the back of the fridge ( source ) .
the emission - line properties of two sets of samples of high - redshift radio - loud and radio - quiet qsos that are well matched in optical luminosity are compared . no strong differences are found between any of the fundamental parameters of the strong ultraviolet lines , in agreement with the basic result of steidel and sargent . additionally , no evidence is found for a difference in the strength of the ' fe ii bump ' at 2500 a between the samples , in contrast to the differences known to exist in the strengths of optical fe ii emission features . comparison of the radio and optical luminosities among the radio - loud objects also reveals no strong correlation . the results of the comparisons between the radio - loud and radio - quiet samples suggest that the broad - line regions of both classes are fundamentally similar , and are largely unaffected by the production or collimation of the radio - emitting plasma . analysis of the asymmetry of the c iv 1549 - a profile among the radio - loud objects reveals that the degree of this asymmetry appears to be correlated with the luminosity of the underlying continuum , such that the most luminous objects have the most strongly asymmetric profiles . the implications of this result are briefly discussed .

so imagine you ' re trying to make a film that accurately depicts the reality of wwi for the average soldier . you ' re going to need to go big in order to adequately convey the scale of the dang thing . and that ' s exactly what director lewis milestone and producer carl laemmle , jr . did for all quiet on the western front .
the desperation tv stars must feel to be on the big screen is the only explanation for edie falco and elisha cuthbert ' s appearance in
the quiet ,
a creepy family drama that reeks of pretentiousness . they play a mother and daughter living in a version of suburbia so hellish that it ' s like a cartoon .
all quiet on the western front ' s an american war movie , so you ' ve already guessed the kind of butt - kicking action hero paul bäumer is , right ? a muscular tank of a man , paul ' s willing to charge ont . . .
which is why cuthbert became anything but quiet after she got her hands on the sundance workshop script by two unknown writers .
elisha became an associate producer on the movie ,
shraft explained , admitting that the film never could have been made without the efforts of the star .
she feels very strongly about the movie , and she understands what it ' s really trying to say .
the quiet is paving the way right now ,
he says , referring to that movie ' s toronto debut and interest it ' s already gotten from distributors .
if the first film out of the box gets what looks to be shaping up as burgeoning success , then that bodes well for this and future projects .

this is the second edition of ‘a quiet revolution : drug decriminalisation across the globe’ . the first edition was released in july 2012 and has since been cited by a wide range of organisations and agencies , including : the world health organisation , the office of the united nations high commissioner for human rights , and the global commission on drug policy . this edition builds on the 2012 publication , providing updates on the jurisdictions originally covered and highlighting a number of new countries that have adopted a non - criminal justice response to the possession of drugs for personal use .
in retrospect , it is belle who manages to acquit herself best with a role that never quite makes sense , but affords her some expressive , silent sequences . surely she will find other film work and then quietly drop the quiet from her biography .

as the many dark curtains in
the quiet
are pulled back , the screenplay by first - time big - screen scribes abdi nazemian and micah shraft reveals nina to be a teen seductress using the lust of her father ( martin donovan ,
saved !
) to get what she wants . as the wallpaper - like dot sits alone at the cafeteria table , however , she ' s the only one observant enough to realize that nina isn ' t in control of the situation .
brimming with newfound confidence and professional acceptance , babbit marks her return to cineplexes with the quiet . the 2005 toronto film festival selection stars camilla belle ( of when a stranger calls fame ) in a concoction that promises to be equal parts the in crowd and mean girls . such an endeavor scores high on the potential b - movie insta - classic scale .

a n artist ' s ambition deserves to be complimented . the widescreen high - definition images that photographer m . david mullen provides for jamie babbit in the quiet are a real step up for this indie director . the purplish blues ( the color that seems to work best in hd ) are deeply saturated for such a cost - effective medium , and the color is never milky or streaky . at times , mullen and babbit overdo the murk , as when a woman is washing dishes , and the main light source seems to be coming right out of the drain—is it one of those combo garbage disposal / halogen lamps we saw in the sharper image catalog ? mainly , the quiet gives the impression of taking place in two worlds : either in the social - torture chamber of a high school cafeteria or in a haunted minimansion , seen in midrenovation , shrouded with clear plastic . the deer family ' s home has all the warmth of a joke - shop ice cube .
here’s a link to a pdf by howard , ky6la on “how to build a quiet station v2” for a talk he gave at the san diego dx ca club in july 2014 . it includes a lot of material he received directly from talks by steve and greg of flexradio systems .
since then , the ipad has shared the spotlight with other apple products , although notable versions like the ipad air and the ipad mini served as the headliner . that wasn ' t the case in 2015 with the original , supersized ipad pro , which served as the opening act to the iphone 6s , and the smaller 9 . 7 - inch ipad pro , which debuted with the budget - friendlier iphone se a year ago .
the worst part is that it wastes a talented cast , including elisha cuthbert and edie falco — actors we know can shine when given the opportunity . what they have to work with in “the quiet , ” which was directed by jamie babbit from a script by abdi nazemian and micah schraft , merely asks them to sleepwalk through myriad suburban cliches , sometimes literally .
but i think that something else is afoot here . the lack of an announcement , the relatively limited upgrades from the predecessor and the lower price may signal a new way of approaching the ipad for apple . in fact , this may be the last ipad in terms of the models outside of the ipad pro line .
tone thresholds and speech - reception thresholds were measured in 200 individuals ( 400 ears ) with noise - induced hearing loss . the speech - reception thresholds were measured in a quiet condition and in noise with a speech spectrum at levels of 35 , 50 , 65 , and 80 dba . the tone audiograms could be described by three principal components : hearing loss in the regions above 3 khz , from 1 to 3 khz and below 1 khz ; the speech thresholds could be described by two components : speech reception in quiet and speech reception in noise at 50 - 80 dba . hearing loss above 1 khz was related to speech reception in noise ; hearing loss at and below 1 khz to speech reception in quiet . the correlation between the speech thresholds in quiet and in noise was only r = 0 . 45 . an adequate predictor of the speech threshold in noise , the primary factor in the hearing handicap , was the pure - tone average at 2 and 4 khz ( pta2 , 4 , r = 0 . 72 ) . the minimum value of the prediction error for any tone - audiometric predictor of this speech threshold was 1 . 2 db ( standard deviation ) . the prediction could not be improved by taking into account the critical ratio for low - frequency noise nor by its upward spread of masking . the prediction error is due to measurement error and to a factor common to both ears . the latter factor is ascribed to cognitive skill in speech reception . hearing loss above 10 to 15 db hl ( hearing level ) already shows an effect on the speech threshold in noise , a noticeable handicap is found at pta2 , 4 = 30 db hl .
news analysis : the only mention of the new version of the ipad and the updated version of ios were press releases . there was no over - the - top announcement or parade of apple executives .
dot ' s thoughts are expressed in a voice - over . given the cruelty toward her and the horrifying things going on in the house ( because they ' re the
secrets
at the heart of the so - called plot , i ' m sworn to keep quiet about them ) , it ' s odd that much of her interior monologue is about beethoven ' s struggle with deafness . but then there ' s little in this film that makes sense . the family has entirely too many secrets and lies to be plausible .
the only justification given for not telling anyone about her parasites is that on some level , quiet didn ' t want anyone to know about them , because some part of her still wanted to kill big boss , which they would have allowed her to do if she ever decided to activate them .
both do a great job making smoothies . they ' re great for other options as well ; milkshakes , salsas , whatever you want to do . and they ' re both incredibly quiet . so you have to pick one that seems to suit your needs the best . we like them both .
to further create the palpable sense that the cassidy kids television show existed , he says the production created a detailed production history .
half of the complicated script deals with the youngsters and the fictional television series inspired by their crime - solving . the other half focuses on them as adults as they reassemble 25 years later for a behind - the - scenes feature for the dvd box set .
babbit is good at creating a murky environment where bad things could fester . in
the quiet
she keeps much of the action confined to a house designed by nina ' s architect father , paul ( martin donovan ) . her mom , olivia , is supposed to be decorating it . but she ' s in a haze much of the time from popping painkillers and mixing them with booze . the rooms are mostly empty and draped in plastic .
the former star of a different world is in austin making a movie called the cassidy kids . it ' s the second film from burnt orange productions , which the university of texas created two years ago with the dual goals of making profitable movies and catapulting ut into the ranks of the nation ' s best film schools .

as noted by felicia feaster , all quiet ' s production
used over 20 acres of a california ranch to stage the film ' s devastating battle scenes and employed more than 2 , 000 ex - servicemen as extras .
all of this was provided by a then - staggeringly expensive budget of $ 1 . 5 million ( source ) .
as the mysteries and twists of
the quiet
unfold , the film explains that while we may all remember despising the most popular , most beautiful girl in high school , few of us consider that the same qualities that made her so
perfect
' might be simultaneously condemning her to a life as a fractured object .
she has this tough exterior and this thick skin , and you think she ' s the popular , pretty one at school and she ' s got no problems ,
cuthbert said , insisting that sexual abuse is rarely visible to the outside world .
it was really cool to take on the challenge , to go , ' ok , how can i make the two worlds blend ? '
the quiet has been picked up by sony pictures classic for obvious reasons . it ' s got tons of high school - based sexual tension and drama with more than a little bit of soap opera flair . with belle and cuthbert riding high from when a stranger calls and the girl next door , respectively , teen audiences and grown up looking for cheap thrills will find the over - the - top theatrics and not - so - subtle lesbian overtones an irresistible catnip .

all of that is fine , but what about the rest of the interior ? we’ve seen the “finished” product of the model 3 ' s exterior fresh off of the production line , but tesla has made a big stink about this minimalist interior and it’s almost suspicious that no further details on the car have been released over the past week .

this is an english language film ( made in america ) adapted from a novel by german author erich maria remarque . the film follows a group of german schoolboys , talked into enlisting at the beginning of world war 1 by their jingoistic teacher . the story is told entirely through the experiences of the young german recruits and highlights the tragedy of war through the eyes of individuals . as the boys witness death and mutilation all around them , any preconceptions about
the enemy
and the
rights and wrongs
of the conflict disappear , leaving them angry and bewildered . this is highlighted in the scene where paul mortally wounds a french soldier and then weeps bitterly as he fights to save his life while trapped in a shell crater with the body . the film is not about heroism but about drudgery and futility and the gulf between the concept of war and the actuality .
because while the ipad may have lost much of its steam since the heyday of tablets , a new apple product still has the ability to turn some heads .
the biggest difference over the ipad air 2 is the price . when the ipad air 2 was announced in 2014 , the wifi - only 16 gb version was $ 499 . the new ipad with 32 gb and a number of upgrades is $ 329 and it’s already being offered at a slight discount by some dealers .
you are missing an obvious angle here : venom was riding quiet in the chopper on the regular , they were both alright with the relationship being like that . it makes more sense the more you think about it . they just never blatantly said it / showed it . that said , you would think she would have code talker translate a note or some shit , have some basic level of ' srs miller if i was gonna kill any of you i already would have , relax ' or ' i can do this mission without even bothering bb ' .

babbit previously directed the clunky “but i’m a cheerleader , ” which also seemed interested in shocking for shock’s sake . she also has a long list of far more wholesome tv credits , including “malcolm in the middle” and “gilmore girls . ” here , though , it seems as if her main aesthetic influence was adrian lyne . every frame of “the quiet , ” with its overly styled blue - gray tint and hazy interiors , calls to mind “9½ weeks , ” “fatal attraction” or “unfaithful , ” movies that actually were suspenseful .

following the death of her father , a teenage dot moves into the home of her godparents and their teenage daughter nina . dot arrives wrapped up in the silence of being deaf - mute . she finds a different kind of silence waiting for her in her new home , for this home is a place with a dark secret involving nina and her father . at first , dot and nina seem to be polar opposites . however , they gradually realize how much they have in common . bringing them together catalyzes a series of events in which both reveal their secrets and shed their double lives . a violent consummation almost destroys them . yet they find hope for the future in the quiet after the storm .
so i recently finished mgsv and i just thought , if quiet can ' t speak , why doesn ' t she write ? she could have written to explain why she can ' t speak and inform diamond dogs about the parasites early , she could have written intel about skullface to prove she wasn ' t a spy and to help diamond dogs , and she could have used writing as a way to socialize with venom . at the end of
a quiet exit
she says that her relationship with venom was hindered by the language barrier between them . can ' t she write in english ? is she illiterate ? or is there some
finger parasite
that prevents her to do so ? and even if she was illiterate we know she can speak navajo and that code talker can talk english and navajo . why doesn ' t she ask code talker to translate what she says ?

so we ' re going to press these at the same time and see how they go . [ whirring ] you can see , they ' re actually very quiet . if you lift the lid it ' s a lot louder . but i can continue carrying on a conversation and talking very easily with multiple blenders running at the same time , so it ' s very incredible . i mean if you ' re in a small space , this is very crucial to be able to have a comfortable and normal conversation . so we ' ve got our smoothies made , in two of the quietest blenders available today .

equally unusual , the new ipad doesn’t have an iterative name . it’s not the ipad 7 , or the ipad air 3 . it’s just the ipad . but that lack of a serial name may very well be more important than it appears ; it may mark a change in the way apple markets its tablets .

fourth act
in which the alien appears on the shuttle and ripley is forced to confront it . he pitched the idea to 20th century fox and negotiated an increase in the budget to film the scene over several extra days . scott had wanted the alien to bite off ripley ' s head and then make the final log entry in her voice , but the producers vetoed this idea as they believed that the alien had to die at the end of the film .

[ 4 ] as a result , o ' bannon filed a complaint with the writers guild of america , who eventually ruled in his favor . despite an appeal by hill , the film ultimately credited its story to o ' bannon and shusett , and the screenplay to o ' bannon ; hill and giler were not mentioned at all . however , despite this official ruling , it is certain hill and giler contributed at least some aspects to the finished film .

the real - life surprise of the actors gave the scene an intense sense of realism and made it one of the film ' s most memorable moments . during preview screenings the crew noticed that some viewers would move towards the back of the theater so as not to be too close to the screen during the sequence . in subsequent years the chestburster scene has often been voted as one of the most memorable moments in film . in 2007 , the british film magazine empire named it as the greatest 18 - rated moment in film as part of its

urltoken critic andrew o ' hehir notes that alien
has a profoundly existentialist undertow that makes it feel like a film noir
and praises it over its
increasingly baroque
sequels as
a film about human loneliness amid the emptiness and amorality of creation . it ' s a cynical ' 70s - leftist vision of the future in which none of the problems plaguing 20th century earth—class divisions , capitalist exploitation , the subjugation of humanity to technology—have been improved in the slightest by mankind ' s forays into outer space .

in an era of raging homophobia and strident union - bashing , two minority groups made common cause in a welsh mining community . as a new film – tipped to be a smash hit – that dramatises events is released , we hear the stories of those who were there
we were between 25 and 40 ; some of us had university degrees or diplomas . i ' m a history teacher , for example . instead of machine guns they gave us shovels . we buried trash heaps and gardens . the women in the villages watched us and crossed themselves . we had gloves , respirators and surgical robes . the sun beat down on us . we showed up in their yards like demons . they didn ' t understand why we had to bury their gardens , rip up their garlic and cabbage when it looked like ordinary garlic and ordinary cabbage . the old women would cross themselves and say ,
boys , what is this - is it the end of the world ?
as beresford talked to livingstone , he had a hunch the story ' s moment had come . by the time he ' d finished , livingstone ' s eyes were
moist
and beresford had secured his commission . pride – the word could not be more charged – is his first feature film as a writer . three years later and the film , shot in banwen , wales , and london , and directed by tony - winning matthew warchus ( responsible for matilda the musical , and soon to be artistic director of the old vic ) , is finished .

i speak to blennerhassett – beresford ' s key to the story – and his partner , ray aller , on the phone and they agree that being involved in lgsm was
the best time of our lives
. they tell me they were paid extras in the film ' s final march :
we were costumed for the 80s . it was a stirring day to relive and many younger people were fascinated . one hope is that the film might revive political interest because the activism of the left has been sidelined , the trade unions are weak , gay rights issues aren ' t there .

so was miss basinger , she said , during the shooting of ' ' 9 1 / 2 weeks . ' ' the film is about an art dealer named elizabeth and her sexual obsession , domination and finally degradation by a man named john , whom she meets by accident . as shot , the film , from the novel of the same name by elizabeth mcneill , contains some explicit scenes with none - too - subtle overtones of sado - masochism , as the two engage in sexual games that become more and more uncontrolled . elizabeth finally calls a halt and they separate . the affair lasts 9 1 / 2 weeks .
the controversial subject matter and the more explicit sado - masochism in some of the scenes proved so alienating to preview audiences that the film was severely cut , and its opening repeatedly delayed . there appears also to have been some tension on the set , according to adrian lyne , the film ' s director , about the method he used to elicit the performance he deemed necessary from miss basinger . people watching the shooting , he said , who did not understand the rationale behind the approach , sometimes became disturbed at the intensity of the emotions the actress and director displayed - from rage to despair - as they worked together .

jessica gunning ' s performance , she enthuses , is phenomenal .

and she exclaims :
we wanted this so much – we have waited 30 years for this story to be told .

' i told george why that was such a terrible idea . i’d worked so hard to give the truck a long and painful death and i thought that’s what the audience wanted out of the resolution . i said , ‘if the network does force you to blow the truck up again , you get another director to do it because i’m not going to do it .

the stylized artwork that ridley scott used to create the storyboards that got fox to double the budget from $ 4 . 2 million to $ 8 . 4 million were inspired by the artwork of the late comic book legendary artist mœbius , who also designed the character costumes , the irc mk . 50 compression suit , the insignia and the crew uniforms for the film .
chris and his platoon release their tension and frustrations from the war on a small vietnamese village . chris contributes to the carnage by firing his rifle at the feet of a defenseless villager . there are many illustrations of chris “doing” throughout the film , however , the sequence where he and his platoon ravage a vietnamese village illustrates chris engaging in activities contrary to his essential nature .
