based on the nicholas sparks novel , this film , set on the georgia coast , stars miley cyrus , liam hemsworth , greg kinnear and kelly preston .
however , what was vital to the la la land producers was adhering to chazelle’s vision at the right production cost , complete with an eight - week shoot and a three - month rehearsal period . the demand was turning two actors into ginger rogers and fred astaire , with the male protagonist a complete piano virtuoso . a traditional foreign sales model wouldn’t propel la la land to where the filmmakers needed to shoot it properly .
this drama is a prime example of the production code improving a film . it cleared out all the gloom and doom of the somerset maugham play , cleaned up what . . .

arnett moved from los angeles back to new york after poehler was hired by sketch comedy show saturday night live and did a series of television guest spots : as adancer on will and grace , a pedophilic travel agent on law & order , and an fbi agent on the sopranos . his big break came in 2003 , when he was asked to audition for the part of g . o . b . —pronounced

musician and actor elvis presley rose to fame in the mid - 1950s—on the radio , tv and the silver screen—and continues to be one of the biggest names in rock ' n ' roll .
will arnett is a comedic actor known for his wacky role as g . o . b . on tv ' s arrested development and his voice - over work in film .
born on january 8 , 1935 , in tupelo , mississippi , elvis presley came from very humble beginnings and grew up to become one of the biggest names in rock & apos ; n & apos ; roll . by the mid - 1950s , he appeared on the radio , television and the silver screen . on august 16 , 1977 , at age 42 , he died of heart failure , which was related to his drug addiction . since his death , presley has remained one of the world & apos ; s most popular music icons .
gosling recounts that many people suggested he meet chazelle , and the two went out for a drink at a bar near the drive actor’s house . “the drunker we got , the more passionate damien got about making movies that you couldn’t watch on your phone , ” remembers gosling . “he wanted to make films that people would want to go see in a theatre , with an audience . ” chazelle brought up la la land , and gosling asked to hear the music , which he received before he arrived back to his house . from there , the music stuck in the actor’s head . “we had never discussed my being a part of the film , so i was just happy to know that a guy like him was out there planning on making a film like that . a few weeks later , i got a call from him asking if i still knew how to dance . ”
and despite how ambitious the idea of an original hollywood musical might sound , there’s a universal through - line that runs through the project that any audience 13 - 35 watching it on the big screen can live vicariously through : similar to the notebook and twilight , la la land is about falling madly in love for the first time , told in a fresh genre that’s been turned on its head .

orange is the new black season 6 : all you need to . . .
buddies since their harvard days , when they performed in the indie pop band chester french , chazelle and hurwitz soon left to pursue their love of film and score , making a black - and - white $ 50k 16mm musical film in college entitled guy and madeline on a park bench . in many ways , that film laid the template for la la land . similar to their latest endeavor , guy and madeline was inspired by demy’s work and the mgm musical canon , with a logline that bears similarity to la la land , which follows emma stone as aspiring actress mia , who falls for burgeoning jazz pianist sebastian ( ryan gosling ) who yearns to own his own club . their glowing romance is set against the sunset of modern day la , but their careers soon take precedence and complications ensue . in guy , a jazz trumpeter meets madeline , and although he embarks on a quest for a more gregarious paramour , ultimately the two seem destined to be together .

it is true that this film is more uneven when compared to duck soup , stopping many times for musical numbers that hinder the comedy a bit ( although i do love seeing chico and harpo at the piano ) , but even so there are a lot of hilarious moments here that make it pretty delicious as well .
achieving oscar glory with la la land should be enough to make lionsgate executives dance like the extras in the film’s opening la highway musical number , “another day of sun” , giving the distributor some long - needed esteem in a year where they’ve battled such $ 140 million big budget disasters as gods of egypt , and the cinematic demise of their once popular ya franchise the divergent series with allegiant .
meanwhile , well before production , lionsgate discussed the risks of the film’s ending in which sebastian and mia ( gulp ) break up . “we saw that it worked in the notebook , casablanca and titanic , which are defined as the most romantic classics ever . even in annie hall the couple doesn’t wind up together . it’s the socratic method and there’s no question we should not get to see them together , ” explains feig .

for the filmmakers , the turnover in casting was no harm , no foul ; rather the nature of the beast when you’re developing a project for six years , through different permutations . when the possibility of casting stone and gosling arose , it made the actuary table for la la land ’s finances look better , with more box office comps supporting the film’s potential success . as such , lionsgate could increase the budget .
la la land was built before whiplash became a reality . that movie initially started as a sundance film festival short , and later became a feature that won the audience award and grand jury prize at the park city , ut fest before embarking on its oscar quest .

in fact , la la land was greenlit at lionsgate with both teller and watson . in a recent conversation with deadline , teller had no comment when it came to the la la land casting situation , however , he shared his frustrations with esquire magazine in an august 2015 article . recent reports in the trades surfaced that teller was holding out for more money ( above the $ 4 million offered ) and , as negotiations dragged out , his window of availability for la la land began to close . for both personal reasons and another project going late , watson was unable to commit to la la land , and ultimately found her way into disney’s live - action beauty and the beast .
while chazelle and his producers were planning to shoot in 23 or 24 days , lionsgate provided the la la land team more resources , increasing filming to 40 days , and providing enough financial allowances for dance scene extras and more locations . for feig , it was about giving them enough to make their love letter to the city of angels .
when it came to casting , the mandate wasn’t necessarily to find two big stars who could revive this yesteryear genre at the box office . rather , per berger , “we needed a classic hollywood singing and dancing duo who could be the beating heart of the movie . ”
it is exciting and perfect ; a sign that they have at last learned how to use every resource which hollywood can offer them ; and the simplest reason i can find for calling them funny beyond the power of words to spoil the fun .
“we sat down with damien and he pitched us an original musical set in hollywood , ” remembers horowitz . “it’s a love story between an actress and a jazz pianist . we were just like , ‘literally everything about that is probably wrong , so let’s do it . ’ the program was pushing us to take risks and do ambitious projects . the intention was to do it for a low budget , and we were like , ‘let’s actually just make the version of this film that we think feels rights . ’”

desperate times call for broken rules , and la la land ’s creators—and lionsgate executives—are looking to defy all expectations with the release of whiplash oscar nominee damien chazelle ’s original musical , an ode to the city of angels , the mgm musicals of yore and jacques demy’s french new wave trio of lola , the umbrellas of cherbourg and the young girls of rochefort .

for chazelle , his best friend composer justin hurwitz , and producers fred berger and jordan horowitz , la la land is a testament to passion paid off , having developed the movie over the last six years ; a complete defiance of odds in a town where putting round pegs into round holes is the legit way to play it safe on screen . flight scribe john gatins wisely said a few years ago that , when it comes to the challenges of getting a great screenplay on the big screen , “great movies aren’t born . they fight their way to life” .

guy and madeline received great reviews coming out of its premiere at the 2009 tribeca film festival . chazelle and hurwitz would move to los angeles around 2007 , and within less than four years began cracking la la land . during the james schamus / john lyons era at focus features in 2011 , the classic label had an in - house program that paired young producers with young filmmakers . matthew plouffe , now a producer at tobey maguire’s material , was a focus executive who brought chazelle and hurwitz together with berger and horowitz .
stone admits , “it was unbeknown to me that ryan and damien met , ” but once she heard , she was stoked . when asked to expound on her organic , on - screen chemistry with gosling , she tells the story about how the duo were asked to improvise together during crazy stupid love , and how they got the opportunity to do so again in the falling - in - love scenes of la la land . “i grew up doing improv and we immediately established a rapport where we really had to listen to each other , ” stone recalls . “there are some actors who are island actors ; their performance isn’t going to change no matter what you do . they’re working on their side of things and they don’t move in a fluid way . ryan isn’t that way , and i’m not that way . and that openness to that way of working establishes a mutual respect . it’s kind of a lucky thing . ”
presley received his first guitar as a gift from his mother on his 11th birthday in 1946 and had his first taste of musical success a few years later when he won a talent show at humes high school in memphis . after graduating in 1953 , he worked a number of jobs while pursuing his musical dream . he cut his first demo record at what later became known as sun studio that year , and before long , sam phillips , the record label owner , decided to take the young performer under his wing . presley soon began touring and recording , trying to catch his first big break .
that & apos ; s all right
was presley & apos ; s first single in 1954 .
he also recalls that , during the course of a day , it wasn’t uncommon to walk through the office and hear people blaring the song “city of stars” from the movie . “it’s at that moment you realize , we actually could be onto something . ”
for stone , “it was the dinner fight sequence [ with ryan ] in a small apartment . we improvised a lot , but it was about finding that moment where eventually the record scratches and the music stops between them . damien , ryan and i had to get to that point , and it was painful . ”
after leaving the army in 1960 , presley resumed his career and was soon back at the top of the charts with the soundtrack for his film gi blues . he continued recording music and acting in such films as blue hawaii ( 1961 ) , girls ! girls ! girls ! ( 1962 ) and viva las vegas ( 1964 ) . though his films were often hit or miss with both critics and audiences , they brought in a profit and the soundtracks usually sold well . by the late 1960s , however , the enigmatic performer appeared to be losing his box office appeal . proving he was still the
king of rock & apos ; n & apos ; roll ,
he recorded his first tv special in 1968 , often referred to as the
& apos ; 68 comeback .
he wowed audiences with his performance , which showcased his talents as a singer and a guitarist .
in september 2012 , arnett and poehler announced plans to divorce after nine years together . the couple has two children , sons archie and abel .
stone and gosling first played opposite of each other as lovebirds in 2011’s crazy , stupid , love ( $ 84 . 4 million domestic , $ 142 . 9 million global box office ) followed by their respective roles as a moll and an lapd sergeant with eyes for each other in the 2013 film gangster squad ( $ 46 million domestic , $ 105 . 2 million worldwide ) .
internally at lionsgate , la la land fever spread throughout all their departments . not just the project executives , but other executives would crowd into watching dailies of the film , with feig continually being floored by how chazelle would resolve plot points and details in an organic way , whereby development suits didn’t need to dispense story notes . “we would talk about how we’re making a movie about jazz , and how some people don’t like jazz . then damien addresses how people don’t like jazz in a sebastian and mia date scene , ” says feig .
six months later , he began dating comedian amy poehler . arnett was briefly married to actress penelope ann miller from 1994 and 1995 , and lived with actress missy yager for four years after that . but poehler , he said , was
the best thing that & apos ; s ever happened to me .
the couple married in 2003 .

soon , presley was everywhere — on the radio , television and the silver screen — working as a musician and actor . his first film , love me tender ( 1956 ) , was a box office hit . even a stint in the u . s . military couldn & apos ; t put a damper on presley & apos ; s thriving career . he received his draft notice in 1957 , and was inducted into the army the following march . he eventually served in germany for about a year and a half . shortly before presley left for europe , his beloved mother , gladys , died . he was granted a leave and returned to memphis for the funeral . deeply saddened by her death , presley returned to duty . while in germany , his spirits were lifted slightly when he met a young teenager named priscilla beaulieu .

despite his personal obstacles , presley remained a popular draw in las vegas and on tour . he performed at his last concert in june 1977 , in indianapolis , indiana . after the concert , he returned home to his memphis mansion , graceland , to prepare for another tour .
raised by loving , working - class parents , presley & apos ; s family had little money , and they moved from place to place frequently . he was deeply devoted to his parents , especially his mother , gladys , and was raised to have a strong faith in god . presley attended the assembly of god church with his parents , where gospel music became an important influence for him .
ask the actors what their challenging scenes were , and gosling shares that he was working “about four hours a day , for three months , on a piece of music that i was meant to be able to execute in one take , without any sneaky edits or mistakes . it just so happened , for scheduling purposes that this scene had to be shot on my first day of production . ”

la la land would eventually stall at focus , however the rights easily reverted back to chazelle , berger and horowitz . at this time , chazelle’s whiplash script was going around town and gaining traction . after the short won at sundance , the la la land producers knew it would be another year before any movement was made on the musical . whiplash ’s feature wins at sundance in 2014 marked the arrival of chazelle to the wider world , and la la land “became a real conversation , ” says horowitz . the project was on fire with a number of suitors , particularly those on the foreign sales side .

the movie is planned for a christmas day cinema release in 2018 , which is quite a way off . the movie is currently filming and began in february – a few pictures have popped up from the set – which gives disney plenty of time to complete .
thousands of fans traveled to graceland on august 16 , 2012 — the 35th anniversary of elvis presley & apos ; s death — for a special vigil in honor of the king of rock & apos ; n & apos ; roll . during the gathering , fans held lit candles and stood outside of presley & apos ; s home . though the presley family holds a tribute event each year to mark the anniversary of presley & apos ; s death , the 2012 gathering was unique : presley & apos ; s estranged wife , priscilla , and daughter lisa marie presley appeared together for the first time at the annual event .

singer janis joplin rose to fame in the late 1960s and was known for her powerful , blues - inspired vocals . she died of an accidental drug overdose in 1970 .
arnett struggled professionally for the next decade , interspersing bit parts ( in one particular career highlight at the time , he played a suitor addicted to public sex on sex and the city ) with voice - over work and pilots for doomed sitcoms . it was a frustrating period for arnett , who became depressed and started abusing alcohol . an epiphany in the summer of 2000 ended his funk :
i realized that i wasn & apos ; t going anywhere , and that i needed to kind of get my life on track ,
he said .
laid the bottle down and got to work .
“i always loved the fred astaire and ginger rogers classic old hollywood songbook , ” says feig , “but when it came to talking about jacques demy , patrick , who is french , knew shot - by - shot everything in his movies . ” another asset for lionsgate : unlike a jukebox musical where they would have to license the songs , the distributor would own them with la la land .
the same could be aptly said about la la land . one would think closing down the 110 - 105 interchange twice during its production , with a slew of extras , for the “another day of sun” sequence was the most grueling moment during filming , complete with scorching 100 - degree plus temperatures , and a traffic jam of cars blocked for the shot . however , getting la la land off the ground was indeed the hardest . as chazelle couches the six - year production of la la land from soup to nuts , “it’s the longest - running passion project . ”
lionsgate , with its foreign output deals , was able to trigger better incentives , and gave the la la land creators the perfect bull’s - eye to make the version of the movie they wanted , with more than enough resources and not jeopardizing chazelle’s vision . while there was an eagerness among other suitors , their suggestions of replacing jazz songs with pop music , and asks for mia and sebastian remaining together , didn’t jive with what chazelle was building . lionsgate , on the other hand , got it .
the marx ' s brothers are for sure one of the best comedians ever , and a night at the opera is a terrific prove of that .
in 2011 , arnett returned to series television with up all night . he and actress christina applegate play new parents on this popular sitcom . arnett is also expected to reprise his most famous role in arrested development . a fourth season of the show is in development and will be available through netflix in 2013 .
the backstage finish , with harpo doing a tarzan on the fly ropes , contains more action than the marxes usually go in for , but it relieves the strictly verbal comedy and provides a sock exit .
sometime in the morning of august 16 , 1977 , presley died of heart failure , at the age of 42 . it was later ruled that his death was related to his prescription drug use . presley was buried on the graceland property , near the gravesites of his mother , gladys , father vernon and grandmother minnie mae hood presley .
[ the marx brothers ] still let the air out of stuffed shirts and barbecue a few sacred cows , but something got lost in all that mgmness when the screen ' s ultimate anti - authoritarian team starting working the andy hardy side of the street .
from the onset , chazelle and hurwitz knew that there would always be an opening dance on an la freeway , as well as a lift - off - into - space moment in the middle , set at the griffith observatory . not to mention the twist ending between gosling and stone’s star - crossed lovers . another element that remained intact from early pre - production was hurwitz’s “mia and sebastian’s” melody , which he calls “the emotional heart of the movie , ” a melody that’s initially heard when the actress spots the pianist plucking away in the nightclub in a love - at - first - sight moment .
mary returns after michael suffers a personal loss which has left him and his family sad – they seriously an injection of joy , and poppins is the person to help bring that back .
rumor is that la la land landed in front of stone thanks to her then - boyfriend andrew garfield , who learned of the project and slipped her the script . chazelle ventured to new york to watch stone in her 2014 broadway turn as sally bowles in cabaret at studio 54 . two days later , they met for lunch at a brooklyn diner . as a child , stone cut her teeth in musical theater at phoenix’s valley youth theatre , performing in such stage productions as titanic , joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat and the wiz . chazelle was aware of gosling’s chops from the thespian’s two - man rock band dead man’s bones , as well as the actor’s a capella rendition of the doris fisher - allan roberts standard “you always hurt the one you love” in blue valentine . an added bonus was that gosling played piano , and the role called for someone who didn’t require a double .

a troublemaker in his youth , arnett was sent at age 12 to an all - boys boarding school where , he recalled ,
i was constantly caught smoking . you had to chop wood if you got caught smoking , so i was always chopping wood . it was a very outdoorsy school .
he was asked to leave when he was 16 . his mother suggested that he channel his energies into acting , and as a teenager he began auditioning for commercials in toronto . after graduating from high school and completing a semester at concordia university in montreal , will arnett dropped out of school and , in 1990 , moved to new york city to pursue a career as a dramatic actor .

johnson graduated high school at 14 and college at 18 . her high school principal sowed the first seeds for her career in space — he would walk her home after school pointing out the constellations overhead . at college , a family friend from her home town who knew her talent for math ordered her to enroll in her class .

as for johnson , her calculations underpinned many of nasa ' s most important projects .
underneath the technical complexity of the explanation is a profound truth chiang is communicating — and one arrival similarly hammers home . “what if the experience of knowing the future changed a person ? ” louise ponders . “what if it evoked a sense of urgency , a sense of obligation to act precisely as she knew she would ? ” and it is precisely because louise understands what it will be like to lose her daughter that she chooses to bring her into the world nonetheless .
alice pearce played the part of a nosy busybody so well that even today the local neighborhood buttinski is referred to as a “gladys kravitz . ” when pearce was 9 , she fell from a playground swing and landed on her chin , stunting its growth . her undershot jaw prevented her from landing any leading lady roles when she took up acting , but she could be counted on as a good comic foil . four months prior to receiving a phone call from her agent telling her that william asher wanted her for a role on his new tv show , pearce was diagnosed with ovarian cancer . she’d had surgery , but the doctors informed her that her case was terminal . she told none of her coworkers of her condition , and other than her being a little tired on the set now and then , no one suspected her of being ill . pearce passed away in march 1966 , and was awarded a posthumous outstanding supporting actress emmy award two months later . sandra gould took over the role of gladys kravitz for the remainder of the series .

swift first assembled her girl squad in the music video for bad blood , supposedly a shot at rival katy perry . she then spent her 1989 world tour parading her besties around in different cities , throwing parties for her supermodel coterie and bringing them to red carpets . this didn’t work out great for swift , adding to the perception that she surrounds herself only with similarly alpine , aryan beauties such as karlie kloss , martha hunt and gigi hadid .

fortunately for all , the filmmakers had an incredible amount of primary and secondary source material from which to get all the details right . hidden figures is based off of the nonfiction book hidden figures : the american dream and the untold story of the black women mathematicians who helped win the space race , written by historian margot lee shetterly . shetterly ' s book is fantastically well - researched , walking readers through the social and political world in which johnson , vaughan , and jackson lived , and telling a detailed narrative of their lives and the work they accomplished .

she began her career working with data from flight tests , but her life quickly changed after the soviet union launched the first satellite in 1957 . for example , some of her math equations were used in a lecture series compendium called notes on space technology . these lectures were given by engineers that later formed the space task group , naca ' s section on space travel .

in one of the final scenes of arrival , the new first - contact science fiction film with a focus on linguistics , dr . louise banks ( amy adams ) explains why she got divorced . “he said i made the wrong choice , ” the linguist tells her daughter hannah . it’s an easy line to overlook , especially as the gravity of the film’s second - half surprise sinks in . throughout the film , louise is experiencing not her memories of the past , but living out precognitive moments of her own future . she is experiencing time out of order , because her efforts to understand an alien language have irreversibly rewired her brain .
it was at the 2016 grammys , when 1989 beat kendrick lamar’s to pimp a butterfly for album of the year , that swift first began to truly test the public’s patience . that was also where she publicly rebuked west’s lyric about her in her acceptance speech .
billie ( martin ) , sent to juve hall when she was 10 after the deaths from a fire that she survived , recalls the figure of an unidentified man in the burning house before she was rescued . with everyone thinking she’s guilty , billie escapes and starts her search aided by young , friendly police detective matt ( antonio sabato jr . ) , who believes her and helps hide her .
instead of treating that message like a superpower to acquire , the film delivers it as a subtle worldview . hidden under arrival ’s more palatable themes about overcoming cultural differences and uniting as one species is chiang’s more direct message about learning how to appreciate life’s moments , to live outside the bounds of time .
still , the law required that she and her black colleagues needed to work separately from white female computers , and the first supervisors were white . vaughan became the first black naca supervisor in 1949 and made sure that her employees received promotions or pay raises if merited .
later , she was mentored by dr . william w . schiefflin claytor , who suggested she aim to become a research mathematician . he created the classes he knew she would need to succeed , including one in which she was the only student . throughout her education , she says she succeeded in part because she was always asking questions — even when people tried to ignore her , her hand stayed up .
lorne turned bumbling into an art form with her portrayal of loveable aunt clara . the character’s unusual fascination with door knobs was based on lorne’s real - life fetish ; she had a collection of over 1000 antique door openers . aunt clara was so endearing that even darrin ( who despised most of sam’s relatives ) loved her , even when her spells went wonky and turned him into a chimpanzee or a seal .

when he was assassinated in january 1948 , it was with manu and abha by his side . despite her having been his constant companion in his last years , family members , tellingly , removed manu from the scene . gandhi had written to his son :

this message exists in arrival , but it’s hidden under broader plot movements , big drama , and more visible hollywood layers . chiang limits the scope of story of your life to a reflection on personal choice . he says foreseeing a choice and then making it is not the cruelty of fate in action , but a powerful exercise in free will .
in the animated short transit , we see subtitles of what happens to the characters at the end . when the information comes up about emmy being missing and her body never found , an ominous shark fin glides by the floating suitcase in the water and then the suitcase sinks . this symbolizes foul play is involved in her disappearance ; after all , sharks can eat people and leave no clues . a puddle of blood then forms on the surface of the water , letting us know that oscar killed her , cut her up , and threw her body overboard in the suitcase . all of this information is conveyed with simple text on the screen and a shark fin moving around a symbolic suitcase covered with travel stickers from the places they had visited together .
but still , in all those images , swift left a lot to be decoded . a connoisseur of the tongue - in - cheek ( remember the capitalized letters in her lyric booklets that spelled out clues about a song’s subject ? ) , it begins with a zombified t - swift digging her own grave .
truth of amethi— - after death of raja ( king ) of etawah ( uttap pradesh ) , rani ( queen ) of etawah wanted to save her kingdom beacuse she had no child . she asked mobarak ali and motilal to fight her case . they asked her for rs . 500 , 000 . the rani paid in full . the case was lost in the lower court . they then told the rani that they would fight the case in the higher court . they took another 500 , 000 . the case was lost in the higher court also . they then told the rani that they would fight the case in the privy council in london . they demanded up and down plane fare , a fat fee for themselves and a fee for a british advocate to fight the case in london . the smart british advocate said that the rani could get hold of an infant of the appropriate age and say to the entire world that she was pregnant at the time of the raja’s death . this idea worked and the rani’s kingdom was saved . this stupid rani thought that mobarak ali and motilal had saved her . she gave them a lot of money and gave amethi ( uttar pradesh ) , a part of her kingdom to motilal . ever since the members of the nehru family have been behaving as if amethi is their private property .
as noted by people magazine , tumblr user @ outofthewoods points out that while the 14 swift personas on the ground may be versions of the singer for different moments in her life , her

this next still made waves for its apparent resemblance to a shot from beyoncé’s formation video . but the real hidden gem is the backup dancers’ belly shirts , which read “i heart ts” . tom hiddleston , one of swift’s ex - boyfriends , was caught in a similar shirt when splashing around the beaches of rhode island with swift . all of which seems to suggest that swift surrounds herself only with those who emblazon their love for her on t - shirts . or , she’s commenting on the fact that you think she does that .
margot lee shetterly , who wrote the book
hidden figures ,
had an interesting path to johnson ' s story . she grew up near the langley facility in hampton , virginia — a spot chosen because the agency wanted a rural location in easy reach of washington , dc . when the facility was built , it was just an overnight steamer ride away from the capital .
there’s a scene in this 1992 children’s classic in which aladdin tries to woo princess jasmine on her balcony , only to be confronted by her tiger . as the shot cuts away , we can still hear aladdin stammering to the angry tiger in the background — including what sounds suspiciously like the line , ‘good teenagers , take off your clothes’ .
in story of your life , the eventual rift between louise and ian is left unexplored , but the plot is largely the same . louise’s understanding of the heptapods’ written language reorients her sense of cause and effect . it turns her perception of time into a two - way river that chiang illustrates through brief intermissions that visit hannah’s childhood and adolescence in future tense , as if louise is forecasting the beats of her daughter’s life . using the real - world theory of linguistic relativity — which states , controversially , that what language we speak affects how our brain works — chiang transforms louise’s life into a series of out - of - order moments that can be experienced singularly , including her daughter’s eventual death .
maya wei - haas is the assistant editor for science and innovation at smithsonian . com . her work has appeared on national geographic and agu ' s eos and plainspoken scientist .
vaughan joined the langley memorial aeronautical laboratory in 1943 after beginning her career as a math teacher in farmville , virginia . her job during world war ii was a temporary position , but ( in part thanks to a new executive order prohibiting discrimination in the defense industry ) she was hired on permanently because the laboratory had a wealth of data to process .
look , her hidden truth was not hideously bad . it was , in essence , a sappy lifetime movie , but i doubt that it was supposed to be anything more . let ' s be honest , lifetime movies have never been too concerned with long - term psyches , preferring to focus more on the trauma of a certain time period . i watched this movie because a ) it had kellie martin in it and she played one of my favorite er characters and b ) it had reed diamond in it ( mmmm ! kellerman , * swoon * ) . i am not regretting my decision to watch it at all . it was well worth watching the scenes with reed diamond in the pool . it ' s one of those things that one watches as an alternative to a rainstorm , not as something you would expect to be a masterpiece of film making . you want something like that , watch to kill a mockingbird . i honestly don ' t regret seeing it , and would see it again . ( one only really gets to see reed diamond in re - runs of homicide ) my advice : take it as fun , i highly doubt that it was supposed to be much more .
shetterly , a hampton , va . , native and daughter of a former langley scientist , tells the story of these women in the new book hidden figures : the american dream and the untold story of the black women mathematicians who helped win the space race . the book has already been adapted for the big screen ; the film starring taraji p . henson , octavia spencer and janelle monae premieres in january .

as a child , johnson has said in interviews , she loved to count . her father placed a premium on education and insisted all four of his children go to college , working overtime to pay for it . johnson says this atmosphere was crucial to her success .

a struggling housewife decides to become a real estate agent and inadvertently puts her life in danger when she takes a job with a corrupt broker who will do anything to land a deal .
the movie is based on a nonfiction book of the same name by margot lee shetterly , who grew up near nasa ' s langley research center , where johnson and her colleagues worked .
this next one is a dead giveaway : swift sits atop a throne as dozens of snakes slither at her feet . one even serves her what we can only assume is piping hot tea , the kind kim kardashian dished out when she released audio of swift , who publicly disputed kanye west’s lyric about her in famous , appearing to sign off on those same lyrics in a phone conversation with west . afterwards , swift’s reputation as a snake in sheep’s clothing took off ; kardashian helped further that image by tweeting a bunch of snake emojis on international snake day . more than a year later , it seems swift’s ready to embrace the title : ahead of the single’s release , she dropped cryptic reptilian teaser videos . and now , the snake has shed her skin .
- cookie’s lavish wardrobe is a defining part of her character , and eggleston also likes to wear mink coats . ( ed . note : this is my favorite part of the lawsuit . )
though the singer wiped her twitter and instagram accounts ahead of her sixth studio album release , she has remained active on tumblr . there she interacts with fans by liking their messages , gifs , photos , videos , and more . as of this post , swift ' s tumblr account has liked over 24 , 000 items users have posted and a lot of them have been recent .
in the 1960s , mercury astronauts alan shepard , gus grissom , john glenn and others absorbed the accolades of being the first men in space . behind the scenes , they were supported by hundreds of unheralded nasa workers , including
human computers
who did the calculations for their orbital trajectories .
hidden figures ,
a 2016 book by margot lee shetterly and a movie based on the book , celebrates the contributions of some of those workers .
the book “the life of indira nehru gandhi” ( isbn : 9780007259304 ) by katherine frank sheds light on some of indira gandhi’s other love affairs . it is written that indira’s first love was with her german teacher at shantiniketan . later she had affair with m . o . mathai ( father’s secretary ) , then dhirendra brahmachari ( her yoga teacher ) and at last with dinesh singh ( foreign minister ) .
in the battle between swifts , my allegiance is with the deceased version , a shrewd chronicler of young - adult courtship and seasoned , starry - eyed songwriter . so much so that hearing her new single made me nostalgic for the days of fearless and red . but the old swift be damned ; this new one is all about retribution and , as the title of her forthcoming album suggests , reputation .
johnson had had some experience with calculating machines before she joined naca , so she was better prepared to exploit the technology as the agency incorporated it . naca was hesitant to rely on electronic calculators , particularly for the type of life - and - death calculations that built the space program . so johnson shined both for her talents in picking up new techniques and for her accuracy in manually checking the computers before they were trusted .
after graduating , johnson became a math teacher , then married and had children . she returned to teaching when her husband got sick . he died a few years later of cancer and in 1959 she married the gentleman she scolds in the trailer for asking
they let women handle that sort of thing ?
( in real life they were introduced by her minister , not co - workers armed with pie . ) but back to the science .
johnson also lent her numerical genius to the 1969 apollo 11 moon landing mission .
everybody was concerned about them getting there ,
johnson said in a 2010 interview .
we were concerned about them getting back .
“is elsa gay ? i think there’s certainly a valid queer reading to be found in the film , ” says devin faraci at badass digest . “it isn’t like she has a girlfriend — or any romance at all — but the idea that she was born different ( it’s explicitly specified that she was born this way , not cursed ) and that her difference makes her not a ‘good girl’ ( a phrase repeated ) lends itself to that interpretation . ”
as a child , shetterly knew these brilliant mathematicians as her girl scout troop leaders , sunday school teachers , next - door neighbors and as parents of schoolmates . her father worked at langley as well , starting in 1964 as an engineering intern and becoming a well - respected climate scientist . “they were just part of a vibrant community of people , and everybody had their jobs , ” she says . “and those were their jobs . working at nasa langley . ”
the credit for this narrative trick goes to author ted chiang , who plotted arrival back in 2002 as a first - person short story called story of your life . his work cleverly uses different tenses , mixing future , past , and present to weave the complex non - linear knot of louise’s life in a way reminiscent of billy pilgrim from kurt vonnegut’s slaughterhouse - five . chiang’s hidden meanings , and the things that inevitably got lost in translating his words to the big screen , are pivotal to help viewers understand what arrival is saying .
in the story , there is no military tension , no setting up of china or russia as aggressors , and no misguided american soldiers sabotaging the spaceship that landed in america . story of your life is entirely focused on louise’s rewired perception of her own life , and her pivotal choice to have a daughter despite the pain she knows it will cause . the reveal — that louise has seen her daughter’s future — is not a surprise sci - fi twist , but a slow and steady realization . even chiang’s title has an obvious double meaning almost from the get - go , the pronoun “your” belonging both to louise’s daughter and the idea that we as humans are made of our memories and defined by our choices .
a teenage girl sees a photograph of herself one day in the school cafeteria - on a missing persons column on the side of a milk carton . but her beloved parents would never kidnap anyone and there ' s a deeper mystery ahead .
laura is a 20 year old deaf girl who has never been taught sign language . she is rescued from neglect and physical abuse by pam , a social worker . pam teaches her how to communicate and uncovers laura ' s true personality .
in transit , the venice hotel room has clothes all over the floor , symbolizing how messed up emmy ' s life has become with oscar . she has a black eye , too . these visual clues let us know her character state in the scene . in the baden - baden scene with her husband , the hotel room is perfectly neatwith separate twin beds symbolizing the state of their marriage . how can you use symbols like this to show us character states in each scene ?
there was no such thing as computer - generated hocus - pocus in the 1960s ; all the “magic” on bewitched was created by a team of hard - working stagehands . for example , if samantha wanted to quickly tidy up the living room for a surprise visit from her in - laws , she’d raise her arms in the air and “zap” the room clean . in a case like that , elizabeth montgomery had to stand in place , arms upraised , while the director called “cut” and members of the crew then rushed around to remove the laundry , newspapers , and other clutter from the set . once the living room was nice and neat , “action” was called and montgomery could lower her arms and continue the scene .
one particularly brazen computer , miriam mann , took responding to the affront on as a her own personal vendetta . she plucked the sign from the table , tucking it away in her purse . when the sign returned , she removed it again . “that was incredible courage , ” says shetterly . “this was still a time when people are lynched , when you could be pulled off the bus for sitting in the wrong seat . [ there were ] very , very high stakes . ”
it ' s the same swift that was introduced halfway through the music video . we see cuts to her several times for the rest of
lwymmd .
unlike the other versions of swift , we never get a full , closeup look at this one . she ' s angry , covered in head - to - toe print , and wields a chainsaw . we only get a few glimpses of her as she disassembles and vandalizes the plane seen at the video ' s end .
get it ? the old swift is dead , dunzo , kaput , resigned to the graveyard of pop culture history . first , we see the aforementioned tombstone , where swift’s reputation lies , but also a second one , reading “nils sjoberg” , the pseudonym swift used as a co - writer on her ex - boyfriend calvin harris’s song , this is what you came for , a collaboration widely assumed to have contributed to their breakup . swift’s writing credit was supposed to be kept secret , but when her team revealed that she had , in fact , written the harris - rihanna hit , her ex went on a tweetstorm about how swift was looking for “someone new to try and bury” . so she buried the fictitious mr sjoberg .

the music video for lwymmd , which premiered during sunday night’s vmas , sees swift double down on her vengeful streak , making theatre of her scandal - laden career in an attempt to communicate a self - awareness that’s mostly eluded her . the video is good fun , if a little bit mad ; it’s certainly the most brazen and ambitious pop music video since beyoncé dropped lemonade in the spring of last year , replete with pyrotechnics and dozens of costume changes . but it doesn’t amount to much more than a succession of disconnected images . and if the images could talk , they might say , “i know what you think of me” , or , perhaps , in the words of joanne the scammer : “i’m a messy bitch who lives for drama . ”
i love this chapter ! ! it ' s funny , sad , and everything of the above , btw , when i said sad , i meant about the very beginning when her dad was yelling . more of an anger moment , but ah well .
as a child , shetterly visited her father ' s office at nasa , where he was a researcher .
there were always so many women . there were lots of women , a diverse group of women — women of all colors , women of all ages . some of the women there were my grandmother ' s age . but it never occurred to me to question why they were there ,
shetterly told an audience at langley in 2014 .
it wasn ' t until many years later that i left hampton and left langley and realized that that wasn ' t the way the world worked .
when she was back in town visiting her parents , her father began pointing out women who had been mathematicians at langley . that became the seed of the book and the movie .
awful , self - conscious , wooden acting and script reminiscent of a first term drama school improv . editing seems to have been done with a knife and fork by a ten year old . the premise is good , with one woman attempting to exonerate her brother and solve the murder of her niece in the face of small town prejudice and slow witted , disinterested police force , but the screenplay is littered with plot holes and illogical procedural cock - ups so the whole thing , which could have been interesting and compelling , is instead simply embarrassing .
also nehru had love affair with sarojini naidu’s daughter padmaja naidu , whom nehru got appointed as the governor of bengal . it is revealed that he used to keep her portrait in his bed room , which indira would often remove . it caused some tension between father and daughter .
when her mother indira died in 1984 he has given full support to congress supporters in delhi to spread pogroms in delhi , gave huge amount of money , liquors , arms to congressmen to spread violence against sikhs only for vote - bank politics , played with emotions of people .
. despite a lengthy catalogue of hits in which she plays scorned exes and lovelorn balladeers , the country singer turned pop superstar has been seen less as a victim than as a purveyor of victimhood , using her prodigious songwriting talents and natural affability to become a megaphone for perceived injustice .
finally , the swifts both old and new assemble before an airplane , where the word “reputation” appears again . here , swift on swift reaches its thematic apex : zombie swift tells you belong with me swift to “stop making that surprised face , it’s so annoying” . white swan swift adds : “you can’t possible be that surprised all the time” . top - hat swift tells cowboy boots swift that she’s “so fake” . cowboy boots swift bursts into tears . “there she goes , playing the victim again , ” responds another swift , wearing spiked leather . leopard - clad swift holds up her phone and announces she’s “getting receipts” – and that she’ll “edit them” too , a reference to swift’s belief that kardashian artfully edited that incriminating audio of her . and finally , 2009 vmas swift , holding her moonman , announces she would “very much like to be excluded from this narrative” .
writer pamela k . long has assembled a formulaic tale about a southern girl who , accused as a child of killing her mom and baby sister , is now 18 and seeking the real killer . except for kellie martin’s perf as the desperate girl , this unlikely drama is tough to buy .
at the end of the movie where the two sisters are united , they leave corn by their mom and they are sitting on a tree with totoro . the question is , why didn ' t they directly go to see her ? this might suggest that they are dead by this point . and then , their mother says an unforgettable line ;
i think i just heard satsuki and mei laughing just now
. if she ' s able to hear her supposedly - dead daughters , wouldn ' t that suggest she herself is close to death as well or is already dead ?
sure , she was a cartoon , but a lot of people still had the hots for jessica rabbit , star of the 1988 live action / animated hybrid who framed roger rabbit ? seems disney were happy to play up to her sex appeal : in this scene from the film , jessica and her human co - star bob hoskins are ejected from a car following a cartoony crash . pausing the film frame by frame , as the youtube user below felt it necessary to do , one can see that jessica flashes rather more skin during the crash than is appropriate for a kid’s film .
writer pamela k . long has assembled a formulaic tale about a southern girl who , accused as a child of killing her mom and baby sister , is now 18 and seeking the real killer . except for kellie martin ' s perf as the desperate girl , this unlikely drama is tough to buy .
to congratulate her . ) she was also given a silver snoopy award by astronaut leland melvin , which recognizes
outstanding performance , contributing to flight safety and mission success .
that trophy will join , among many others that johnson has received , an american flag that flew to the moon .

how this all loops back to a viable—or arguably viable—copyright lawsuit is that eggleston claims daniels was among those who was shopped her memoir . in 2011 , eggleston alleges she met and then teamed up with screenwriter rita miller , who told eggleston that she would be meeting with daniels about working on the project together .
of course , it wouldn ' t have been surprising for gaga to say something political , given her support of hillary clinton and the fact she staged a one - woman protest after trump won the election . she also regularly preaches and sings about inclusiveness , particularly when it comes to race and sexual orientation .
jawaharlal nehru’s second sister krishna hutheesing also mentions in her memoirs that her grandfather was the city kotwal of delhi prior to 1857’s uprising when bahadur shah zafar was still the sultan of delhi . jawaharlal nehru , in his autobiography , states that he have seen a picture of his grandfather which portrays him like a mughal nobleman . the urdu literature of the 19th century , especially the works of khwaja hasan nizami , are full of the miseries that the mughals and mohammedans have to face then . they also describe how mughals escaped to other cities to save their lives . in all probability , jawahar nehru’s mughal grandfather and his family were among them .
she scoured telephone directories , local newspapers , employee newsletters and the nasa archives to add to her growing list of names . she also chased down stray memos , obituaries , wedding announcements and more for any hint at the richness of these women’s lives . “it was a lot of connecting the dots , ” she says .
so in the next shot , as the chorus begins , swift rams a shiny gold car into a storefront where paparazzo are lurking . she opens the door , a cheetah in tow , to show off none other than her grammy award . she proceeds to display and caress it in one of the video’s most bewildering moments .
jackson hailed from hampton , virginia . she graduated with high marks from high school and received a bachelor of science degree from the hampton institute in mathematics and physical science , according to a biography posted on nasa ' s website . she began her career as a schoolteacher , and took on several other jobs before joining naca .
