june 2 will be the seven - year anniversary of the infamous armando galarraga near - perfect game .
nobody’s perfect . it’s an age - old mantra that lets us find a bit of comfort in our shortcomings . our mothers , friends , teachers and coaches have hammered this basic pillar of humanity into our brains . imperfections , we are taught , are universal and part of what make us human .
phillips’ mill community association presents “nobody’s perfect , ” a childrens’ theater musical - comedy featuring local 8 - 14 year - old students performing acapella music . the show is based on the pitch perfect movie , and showcases several acapella groups battling in a fictional state competition to save their high school’s arts program . the musical production takes place just one night ( july 28 , 7 : 30 ) and tickets typically sellout .
nobody ' s perfect was 1000 % worth the wait . it ' s a story about healing , post traumatic stress disorder , patience and love . note : this is not a hot or sexy story . it is more of a therapeutic read with bdsm used mainly as a tool . if you loved to command and collar by cherise sinclair and slave by sherri hayes , you will love nobody ' s perfect . the abuse and incest described in this book is very graphic , horrifying and sad . to think that some people have gone through this type of abuse is heartbreaking
detroit tigers pitcher armando galarraga was within sight of a perfect game in june 2010 when first base umpire jim joyce blew the call that would have put him in the record books . “nobody’s perfect” takes us behind the scenes at comerica park that night and into the aftermath of what became known as the “almost perfect” game . but it’s also the story of a young pitcher from venezuela and how his career echoed the winding path a seasoned umpire from ohio took to get to the majors . an uplifting sports story and great read for fans .
a year later , joyce and galarraga collaborated on a book with author daniel paisner , titled ,
nobody ' s perfect : two men , one call , and a game for baseball history .

mlb umpire jim joyce couldn’t hold back his emotions a day after costing tigers pitcher armando galarraga a perfect game on wednesday night in detroit .
“i say many times : nobody’s perfect , ” galarraga said . “everybody makes a mistake . i’m sure he don’t want to make that call . you see that guy last night , he feels really bad . he don’t even change . the other umpires shower , eat . he was sitting in the seat ( and saying ) , ‘i’m so sorry . ’
nobody ' s perfect , mi sueño , but you ' re about as close to perfection as i ' ve ever known . oh , damián and savi – you both just about broke my heart in masters at arms and here you both are , breaking it all over again . years have passed since their one perfect day at the beach cave and the years have not been kind to either of them . savi has managed to escape her sadistic father and build a life for herself and her daughter , also damián’s daughter but he has yet to find that out , when her brutal past
much awaited and much anticipated addition to the master ' s at arms series . of all the master ' s stories i always knew that nobody ' s perfect would be the hardest one to get through and one that i would love . from the first time savannah and damian met 8 years ago in the hotel , they affected me deeply . my empathy knows no bounds when it comes to these two characters . together they bring out all my protective nurturing instincts to hold onto them , and keep them safely cocooned away from their harrowi

trump’s whataboutism implies that russia’s transgressions are less evil because the u . s . has its own faults . but when trump uses the faults of the u . s . as reasons to not denounce the mishaps of other countries , there is no accountability to prevent future catastrophes on the global stage . this reasoning makes us prone to disaster .
so in masters at arms we get to meet damián and savannah , two star - crossed young lovers who get to spend a single tonight together in a really dark romeo and juliet tale ( and i realize that the original version of that was pretty dark , too ) . in nobody ' s angel we get to see damián again - only now as the big bad bullwhip - wielding dark and mysterious dominant . in nobody ' s hero we get to see savannah again - as savi baker , the totally together and competent social worker / counselor . so would these two

liked it . . . not loved ! ! nobody’s perfect damian and savi i waited a while to read this book… it was suppose to be out months ago… but it didn’t… i have to say , i’m a little let down… don’t get me wrong… i liked it…but i wanted to love it and i just couldn’t . i know there was extensive traumatic abuse and it took the entire book to get through that… but i lost touch with the main characters at times only because the book was so focused on the past abuse and how burying it just made the present that m
the fallacious whataboutism that is used to justify matters like dao’s forceful removal from his flight and trump’s foreign policy toward russia is a dangerous race to the bottom . when we use one’s past to question the legitimacy of their victimization , we ignore the real issue at hand . justice should not be limited to people who have clean records .

i waited so long for savi and damian ' s story , and i was not disappointed . i got a first version , so there were editing issues , but i know the author is working on getting out a new clean copy . i thought how savi ' s and damian ' s issues were handled was perfect . we didn ' t get any real sex between them until the end ( though savi had a few orgasms starting around 60 % i think ? ) , but i think to have put it in before where it was would have been unfaithful to the story and unrealistic . savi had lived a h

but whataboutism has not just popped up in isolated circumstances . its resurgence in the united states has been steady and widespread not just in social situations , but also in politics . president donald trump has used whataboutism to avoid implicating russian prime minister vladimir putin for the crimes he has committed against people who oppose him . trump’s response to msnbc’s joe scarborough’s point that putin “kills journalists that don’t agree with him , ” was , “well , i think that our country does plenty of killing also . ” in a february interview with fox news ' bill o’reilly , in which o’reilly said , “putin’s a killer , ” trump replied , “there are a lot of killers . we’ve got a lot of killers . what , do you think our country’s so innocent ? ”

alyn ' s review posted on guilty pleasures 4 . 25 stars i was not sure how deep this story would go as i followed the writer’s progress through her journey as this story came to be . with bdsm being such a hot topic lately , i find myself possessive of those author’s i have grown to love yet wanting to share their talents all the same . those reading bdsm because it is “the new big thing” are the ones that simply don’t get the true passion , intensity , trust , and strength it takes for those relationships
i wanted to like this book more , but it didn ' t really wow me . i could only read it in small doses . there were things i like and equally dislike about the book . damian and savannah ( savi ) has a history together , which is found in masters at arms . the review will be a bit spoiler - y if you haven ' t read the first book . after their one day at the beach , savi ends up pregnant and runs away from home while damian joins the military . 8 years later , they meet up again in nobody ' s hero although savi has ch
the healing of savannah gentry this book takes us through savannah ' s life from 8 - 19 . then onto savi baker ' s life 19 - 27 . and then finally back to savannah ' s life . savannah lived through the most horrid things from 8 - 19 from her sick and perverted father and his business associate , lyle . the only bright light during that time was her one night with damián orlando . after that wonderful night in her otherwise nightmare of a world she was gifted with a child . the pregnancy gave her the strength to run
i have looked forward to damian and savannah ' s story after reading the prequel in masters at arms and feel like it ' s taken forever to get here . the story was pushed back months and months after the tentative release date so i could not wait to start reading upon final release . unfortunately , after 50 % and skimming the rest all i can say is how disappointed i am with the story . to me , this did not even feel like the same author ' s voice as the prior books . i realize the main focus of the story is

, a classic gender - bender film if there ever was one . this film is a cheesy little romance , with an interesting plot twist or two and the occasionally witty bit of funny dialogue . girl ( hitting on boy ) : what ' s your favorite kind of pizza ? boy : large . girl : mine too ! i got a few laughs out of the love - struck protagonist ' s hijinks in a skirt . nothing all that exciting , but decent entertainment if you don ' t have anything else to do .
i will not say i enjoyed this book . i liked that damian and savi find each other lost and tormented , a commonality with the h / h ' s in three preceding books in the rescue me series . however , unlike the other stories , their intimacy was infrequent and overshadowed with horror . so , if you ' re looking for a pleasure read comparable to km ' s other books , this isn ' t it . there was just too much damage to navigate . it ' s unbearable to imagine how anyone comes back from the childhood savi endured , which give

after patiently ( * snort ) awaiting the release of this book , when i finally bought it , i stayed up all night reading it . all i can say is wow . this is a bit different from the other books . it is a lot darker and so much more emotional . but what an incredible story . savi ' s struggle to deal with her incredibly traumatic childhood was almost difficult to read at times . i lost count of the times i cried during this book . she has such a difficult past , yet you are cheering for her and she comes out so strong through the pages and in the end . and damian was the ultimate hero . the way that he helps savi deal with the pain of her past to get through it , while suffering his own dark memories was amazing . you feel for these 2 characters . you cry for them . you root for them . kallypso masters took on an incredibly difficult subject of abuse , yet the way she wrote it - i am now convinced she can do no wrong . it was realistic , heartfelt , and heart - breaking . i was waiting for the continuation of marc and angelina ' s story in nobody ' s perfect , as i have read that she might do . however , that did not happen . i later read that she decided to do that in a different book since she felt that they would take away from the main story of damian and savanna . i cannot agree more . this book was an emotional roller coaster for me to get through , but boy was it worth it .
this way of approaching controversial situations has come to be known as “whataboutism . ” whataboutism is the name given by the economist’s edward lucas to describe a propaganda technique birthed by the soviet union to deflect criticisms from the western world by asking “what about … ? ” followed by an event in the western world . whataboutism is dangerous because it makes us so hyper - focused on human error or imperfection , even when inapplicable to the overall context , that we neglect to acknowledge the initial wrongdoing . in dao’s case , his own mishaps over a decade ago created the false sense that there was more to the story than united airline’s wrongdoing .
the story revolves around a high school principal who gleefully dismantles the arts department to ensure funding for his beloved athletic program . the school’s art director faces the humiliation of seeing her classroom become the storage closet for used equipment .
joyce didn’t offer an opinion earlier thursday when asked about the possibility of selig reversing his call . but such a decision might have eased the umpire’s conscience . joyce was inconsolable on wednesday night in the aftermath of his mistake .
i will not say i enjoyed this book . i liked that damian and savi find each other lost and tormented , a commonality with the h / h ' s in three preceding books in the rescue me series . however , unlike the other stories , their intimacy was infrequent and overshadowed with horror . so , if you ' re looking for a pleasure read comparable to km ' s other books , this isn ' t it . there was just too much damage to navigate . it ' s unbearable to imagine how anyone comes back from the childhood savi endured , which gives credibility to the interminable , excruciating scenes that consume this book . but the story had to be told this way , page after page darkened with the depravity that oppressed this very strong heroine . so , while there was nothing sexy about reading her brutal journey , i was overwhelmed with admiration . for savi ' s perseverance . and for km ' s ability to invent a woman courageous enough to mentally and physically escape the hell that was dealt her . thank christ for the happy ending , despite having to swallow it around the mass of misery in my throat .
joyce was behind the plate for thursday afternoon’s game between the tigers and indians , wiping away tears and needing an extra moment to compose himself before entering the field via the tunnel behind home plate at 1 p . m . et .
galarraga lost his bid with two out in the ninth inning of wednesday night’s game against the cleveland indians , when joyce ruled that jason donald had reached base safely on a ground ball to the right side . joyce subsequently admitted that he was wrong .
a story of two beautiful but broken souls , who struggle to heal and fight to survive . savannah and damian met at masters at arms . they were broken souls that are battling different demons during that time . in nobody ' s perfect , it is eight years later when savi runs to damian for protection . the story for me is more of like a road to healing . a journey of someone who has been abused but is strong enough to live and a hero who deems his life unworthy and yet is brave enough to continue living . it was for me , inspiring on how they faced their demon and fight , find the will to hold on to continue and not give up . you think that with two of the main characters broken , this would be an exhausting read with dealings with their triggers and episode , but it wasn’t actually , it was bittersweet . another thing that i’ve liked more about damian here is how he had fully accepted adam as his dad and his help . he knows he has a problem and he is isn’t afraid to ask for help . i also like how it was explained why damo is what he is . he is after all , a sadist . there are also glimpse of other characters that i have come to love – adam and karla , and luke , and grant . angelina and marc were there , too . all in all , it was a beautiful story of love .

the triptych - style set ( showing the exterior of leonard ' s flat , its interior , and harriet ' s office ) was a clever touch by designer david north . all three sections were on show throughout but i never felt the redundant parts intruded into the action . director john hester never allowed the pace to drop , but ultimately it was the sharply witty , very funny script that was the star of this show . as i left the theatre , i was surrounded by smiling faces – surely the ultimate sign of a good night out ?

this book was a struggle for me in several ways . i struggled to keep reading it , i struggled to suspend my disbelief , and i struggled to find the erotica in it . i did succeed in the first , but not with the second and third issues . like many , i was looking forward to damian ' s and savannah ' s story . the series title is rescue me and these two needed some serious rescuing . both had lived through horrors beyond my ability to imagine , and to be honest i worry that my opinion of the book is a result of

this author develops the characters well and the story line was good . if you are into bdsm then you will like this book . damien is a dom yet he wasn ' t as assertive as i would like in a male lead . yet the way he was fits well with savannah ' s fear of men so i could accept it . one aspect i didn ' t like was the way both damien and savannah gave their genital parts names . i just didn ' t think it fit well with this story with savannah having such aversions to sex one minute then next minute labelling her private parts - but maybe that ' s just me ? the length of the book was good and helped you get to know the characters well . however i did feel savannah ' s character went from not trusting men to trusting damien very quickly towards the end . having said that i will continue to love this series and will continue to read them . i love that you learn more about the characters from other books within each story as the series continues . the epilogue includes parts from the next story in the series , this one being luke and cassie ' s story ( which i cannot wait for ) . the taster you get really makes me want to read the next book .
of course , it ' s only entertainment , except that you can ' t conceive of anyone ' s watching indecent proposal and feeling entertained . you stare at gage and think , how can anyone have so much money and so little fun ? how can a roomful of immigrants want to be like that ? as for demi moore , she goes from looking wistful , glazed , and poor to looking wistful , glazed , and rich - out of the fridge and into the deep freeze . the only character turned on by gage ' s offer is the murphys ' lawyer , jeremy ( oliver platt ) , who has one short , cynical scene that blows the movie apart .
how could you negotiate without me ?
he yells at david , sniffing a big commission . you suddenly realize that indecent proposal could ( and should ) have been a comedy ; it starts off with much the same plot as honeymoon in vegas and smothers it in mists and moodiness .
joyce , 61 , has joined three other umpires in retiring from major league baseball before the 2017 season . he had been an umpire since 1987 . but his name became infamous in the state of michigan , on june 2 , 2010 , when he served as first - base umpire during galarraga ' s start against the cleveland indians .
harriet keeps sending leonard’s manuscripts back because he is a man . when he finally writes one based on his experience as a single parent and passes himself off as a woman by using the pseudonym of myrtle banbury , harriet is impressed by the writing and wants to meet myrtle to get her name on a contract and give her the money for winning the contest .

kallypso masters tackles difficult subject matter head - on . rather than glossing over ptsd and abuse issues and making the characters have miraculous recoveries , kallypso shows the difficulties people who suffer from these problems have in dealing with everyday life . triggers can occur at anytime ( words , smells , music , situations ) and the journey to healing is long and complicated . the memories can never be erased but the survivor ' s
perception
can be changed from negative to positive . damian and
steve is a college freshman who plays tennis for the school . but he falls desperately in love with shelly , also a tennis player . it ' s all downhill from there . steve can ' t eat , he can ' t sleep , his grades drop , and he gets kicked off the tennis team . what can he do ? well , his resourceful friend suggest turning steve into a woman in order to get him close to shelly who doesn ' t know he is alive .
“i worked with all of those umpires . they’ve all been around for a long time . it’s different with each catcher and each umpire , but my relationship with the vast majority of umpires is very good . i’d joke with a lot of them , talk with a lot of them . i understood they had a job to do , and there was going to be mistakes . i was always going to try to be honest with them , and that goes both ways , whether the ump was giving good news or bad news . i wanted to be honest . ”
the worst scene in indecent proposal - and there are plenty of contenders - shows john gage going to school . diana has taken
a second job , teaching citizenship ,
and just as she is telling a classroom of immigrant students about the united states , one of them looks outside and sees gage ' s rolls - royce . their interest is stirred , rising to outright adulation as the man himself strolls in and starts to woo their teacher . he ' s a messiah , smelling of fresh money , and the movie can only sit back and agree : no messing around - if you ' ve come looking for america , this is the man you need to be . in its flailing attempt to elevate the poor , a scene like this only slaps them down ; you watch it openmouthed at the loftiness of the insult . indecent proposal needs to be seen , if only to furnish proof that a whole movie , and not just individual performers , can be vain , and that real vanity doesn ' t just look in the mirror : it can turn around and damage others . there are many good films about the rich , but this one is dangerously cheap .
after patiently ( * snort ) awaiting the release of this book , when i finally bought it , i stayed up all night reading it . all i can say is wow . this is a bit different from the other books . it is a lot darker and so much more emotional . but what an incredible story . savi ' s struggle to deal with her incredibly traumatic childhood was almost difficult to read at times . i lost count of the times i cried during this book . she has such a difficult past , yet you are cheering for her and she comes out so st
this author develops the characters well and the story line was good . if you are into bdsm then you will like this book . damien is a dom yet he wasn ' t as assertive as i would like in a male lead . yet the way he was fits well with savannah ' s fear of men so i could accept it . one aspect i didn ' t like was the way both damien and savannah gave their genital parts names . i just didn ' t think it fit well with this story with savannah having such aversions to sex one minute then next minute labelling her
too weird for me . she was abused / molested by her sadistic father who also used her to pay for his other business transactions . i didn ' t even finish it . she had child years ago with the only man she willingly slept with . and she escaped her father when she found out she was pregnant . now that the baby is now a little girl her father has found them again . so she runs to the man that got her pregnant and is also big into sadism . and the whole time he ' s trying to show and tell her he loves her she h
4 . 5 stars this review was posted at under the covers i have been procrastinating in writing this review because i feel that i need to write something amazing to explain how i felt . but now i realized that is not what ' s going to happen , so i ' m just going to tell you how this book made me feel . and in my opinion , when a book can move you , make you connect , engage you to the point that it feels as if you know these characters and you care so much for their well being , not just for their happily ever
take the latest public relations faux pas , courtesy of united airlines . in the age of social media , it did not take long for videos to surface of dr . david dao being dragged down the aisle of a plane by united airlines security and the bloody aftermath . nor did it take long for united airlines’ stock prices to tumble or for the boycott sirens to ring after united airlines president oscar munoz doubled down on the company’s self - vindication . but even as most of the world criticized united airlines ' handling of the whole fiasco , a different narrative began to emerge in other enclaves of the media .
it is a shame , then , that we have begun to view perfection more as a choice and less as a pipe dream . human error , polluted by agendas , politicking and biases , has slowly warped into a tool that perpetuates division . what’s more disheartening is that , more often than not , the imperfections that we see in others or in ourselves are irrelevant in context . we are quick to judge but slow to empathize . with this line of thinking , shortcomings are not seen as human error — they are seen as inexcusable . worse is that they are used as false equivalencies in the hope of invalidating things that come to our attention .
the whole thing needs a leading man with snap and vim , instead of which it gets woody harrelson . admittedly , it ' s an awful part , which calls for little more than unfocussed emoting , but then woody trying to emote looks like anyone else trying to go to sleep . at one point , he has to give a lecture on the inspiring joys of architecture , rising to the contention that
even a brick wants to be something .
he should know . harrelson has long been crucial to cheers , which both mocks and somehow dignifies the dumb hick in him ; this movie does the exact opposite , solemnly turning him into a total idiot , and could subtly dent your pleasure in the tv show from now on .
too weird for me . she was abused / molested by her sadistic father who also used her to pay for his other business transactions . i didn ' t even finish it . she had child years ago with the only man she willingly slept with . and she escaped her father when she found out she was pregnant . now that the baby is now a little girl her father has found them again . so she runs to the man that got her pregnant and is also big into sadism . and the whole time he ' s trying to show and tell her he loves her she has flashbacks to her father . the whole time like he can ' t even touch her without her spazzing out . i don ' t know why know all of a sudden it is a problem . she had to have been comfortable enough for her to have gotten pregnant by him , right ? ! too weird for me .
i would say this was my favorite book in the series . i was very intrigued on how this story would play out and i wasn ' t disappointed . i have only read a few stories in the bdsm world and usually have to take a break while reading them , but this one kept me moving forward . i felt for both characters especially savannah aka savi . i felt this story was very explicit in details on how she was treated from age 8 - 19 though you have to know to understand the way she is and how she reacts to certain situations . damian has his own demons to deal with , but knows he can help savi
feel
again . i was happy with the ending and i am actually looking forward to the next few books . marc was not my favorite , but the side story with him and angelina peaked my interest and luke ' s book is definitely peaking my interest .
i will keep my review very brief . this read like an instructional manual . i wonder if the author had complaints on her lack of knowledge of the scene in previous novels . she is well informed now and she offers that knowledge to her readers . unfortunately this removes the storyline . the internal dialogue of sevi takes center stage to anything and everything else . the focus is on ptsd and coping with tragic events . my problem with this , while very informative , this isn ' t a non - fiction read . i have my own demons to contend with ; i wanted a mix of the knowledge , the therapy , and the connection . all i got was the knowledge and therapy . connection is the most important element for me . if this were the first in a different series i would give it 4 / 5 . since it is the 4th in a series and its feel is entirely different , i am giving it 3 / 5 . i haven ' t finished yet . it ' s taken me nearly a week to read . i can devour 2 book in a day . < - - - use that as a reference .

was voted as the # 17 greatest movie quote by the american film institute .
australian author david williamson adapted emerald city from his own stage play . the title may conjure up images of the wonderful land of oz , but the plot is set in the munchkin - free australian film industry . john hargreaves stars as a prosperous screenwriter who is perfectly willing to accept the obscene gobs of money thrown at him . one day , however , he decides that he ' s a sellout , and attempts to turn out something of meaning and value - - and uniquely australian . but he runs up against an industry with both eyes on the valuable american market . there are laughs in emerald city , but they have a hollow ring ; this hit too close to home with many australian filmmakers to be considered a comedy .
steven lisberger and his producing partner donald kushner set up their own animation studio to achieve the visual effects that they hoped to depict in the film . they then hawked their test footage around all the main hollywood studios until walt disney agreed to finance the film .
the screening will be followed immediately by audience discussion with writer / producer fortuna and follow up with an opening night reception at the emerald loop pub on wabash .
after production wrapped , william randolph hearst forbade any advertisement of the film in any of his newspapers - - or indeed any other rko movies - - and offered to buy the negative from studio head george schaefer with a view to destroying it . fortunately orson welles had already previewed the film to influential industry figures to rave reviews , so it was granted a limited theatrical release . critics from non - hearst newspapers fell over themselves praising the film . the film itself was not reviewed in any hearst newspaper until the mid - 1970s , when the film critic for hearst ' s
los angeles herald - examiner
, ray loynd , finally reviewed it .
debuting in january , “emerald city” never found an audience over its 10 episodes . opening to 4 . 5 million viewers , the drama dipped week - to - week to a season low of 2 . 3 million viewers , slightly ticking up for its finale with an audience of just under 2 . 9 million .
with the premiere of new nbc drama emerald city ( fridays , 9 / 8c ) on january 6th , a gritty ten - episode take on baum’s oz from director tarsem singh ( mirror mirror , self / less ) , audiences will be looking at a much darker on - screen oz than they’re used to .
on the small screen , audiences will undoubtedly know d ' onofrio from his recent role as the villainous wilson fisk on marvel ' s daredevil , or from his series regular role as det . robert goren on all 10 seasons of law & order : criminal intent . but the actor is also known for his many and varied film roles , including full metal jacket ' s pvt . gomer pyle , men in black ' s edgar , jurassic world ' s vic hoskins , and the serial killer whose mind jennifer lopez enters in the cell , the 2000 film by emerald city director tarsem singh .

a hard living crew of irish construction workers in new york find themselves at an historical crossroads in writer / director colin broderick’s first feature film .
for his work in this movie , orson welles became the first person to be oscar nominated for best actor and best director for the same film . he also won best original screenplay , and was the first person to be nominated in all three categories for the same film as well .
mia’s vibrant wardrobe was a very purposeful choice . when talking about the color palette for the film in an interview with fashionista , zophres said :
you’d be hard - pressed to find anyone who hasn’t seen “the wizard of oz , ” read the source material by l . frank baum , or come across some retelling of dorothy’s picaresque journey . and therein lies the core problem with “ emerald city . ” in look and tone , it does not imitate the classic 1939 film starring judy garland , but this darker take on the story remains so familiar that , although it’s gorgeous , there’s too little tension and suspense driving it .
again , on some level emerald city is just out there enough to keep you watching and maybe at this point in time and on network television there ' s a certain need to be a ragtag curiosity to keep people coming back each week ( it premieres with two full episodes , which is a bit daring in itself these days ) .
the state - of - the - art computer used for the film ' s key special effects had only 2mb of memory and 330mb of storage .
the

kodalith high contrast film as high contrast positives which were then used to print as high contrast negatives . these positives and negatives were then colorized and used in the film . the kodalith was produced by kodak in the necessary size as a special order and the film boxes numbered in order of each batch produced so that there was a consistent film speed if used in order . however , this was misunderstood by the tron crew and they were used in any random order which resulted in some frames being brighter / darker than others and resulted in the flickers as the film speed varied . once this was found out , the film was used in order of production to minimize the effect , but in the end the producers actually added in more flickers and

the musical was a risky undertaking by most accounts . but chazelle was encouraged by the initial response from the singers , dancers and actors in the film .
despite all the publicity , the film was a box - office flop and was quickly consigned to the rko vaults . at 1941 ' s academy awards the film was booed every time one of its nine nominations was announced . it was only re - released to the public in the mid - ' 50s .
the film was disqualified from receiving an academy award nomination for special effects , because the academy felt at the time that using computers was

wicked , based on the popular gregory maguire novels , has recently become one of broadway’s top - ten longest - running shows of all - time . the popularity of baum’s emerald city still resonates so resoundingly that even oz the great and powerful , which received only lukewarm reception from critics and fans alike , still raked in almost $ 500 million worldwide in 2013 .
some of the cast previously worked with the writer / director on his play father who , which had a successful run at theatre 80 in new york city in march 2014 . the play is featured in this film as the production that the character colly puts on and casts with the same actors that starred in the real play .
our capital city , melbourne , is consistently named among the world’s most liveable cities . we ' d love to work with you to help you realise your next project here .
the film ' s opening - just the title , no star names - was almost unprecedented in 1941 . it is now the industry norm for hollywood blockbusters .
composer wendy carlos ' score for the film was unavailable on cd for many years due to the severe degradation of the original analogue master tapes . by the time of the film ' s 20th anniversary , techniques had been developed which allowed the tapes to be temporarily restored to a playable condition for digital re - mastering .
emerald city executive producers david schulner and shaun cassidy made a note in a pre - premiere letter to screeners about the evergreen allure of baum’s series that piqued my interest : “one hundred years later , women are still fighting for empowerment [ … ] and the pursuit of identity – racial , gender and otherwise – remains at the forefront of our political and cultural conversation . ”
you get this view of downtown la , which to me looks like the emerald city , you know from ' the wizard of oz , ' and so it has this scope to it . and it was great , going up there , nothing was green - screened . we got to shoot it all for real , which was my dream ,
he said .
despite the enormous controversy surrounding the film , it actually passed the review of the hays office , the self - regulatory censorship office that set production codes in hollywood . it ' s actually surprising that the film passed without incident , given the power that someone like william randolph hearst could have brought to bear on such an organization .
that said , the familiarity of the story and the lack of charisma displayed by core characters combine to impart the idea that there is less here than meets the eye . and it’s difficult to escape the impression that “emerald city” has imported too much of a strain of frustrating nihilism that can be found in a large swath of modern dramas , including “the walking dead” and “game of thrones . ”
after two weeks of intense campaigning and over 14 , 000 votes , we are finally ready to announce the results of the scannain readers ' favourite irish film of 2017 .
emerald city launched in early 2007 – a time when perth was synonymous with indie bands . the first of the new wave of perth rock bands , they released their debut ep in 2008 , supported the likes of paul stanley , and quickly gathered a strong following – but line - up hassles and a lack of industry support saw things go quiet for a while on the e . c . front .
the snow globe kane drops and breaks at the beginning of the film reappears in the flashback scene in susan alexander ' s apartment by a framed picture next to her mirror .
in this film produced by the walt disney company , dr . walter gibbs started what became a huge company from his garage . in real life , walt disney did this .
while most of the film’s wardrobe is one - of - a - kind , here are some similar pieces you can snag to recreate the dreamy looks of la la land .
the wizard of oz was published in 1900 , not 1890 . all the same , this is fascinating information for me , since i became fascinated with the oz books as a child . after reading the emerald city of oz , in which baum notes there is no money in oz , i decided that i hated money , and i ' ve never looked back . i was 11 years old at the time .
this beautiful emerald dress is a standout from the film , and part of an especially dreamy dance sequence . the above modcloth dress is a pretty close match , but a little pricey ( $ 125 ) . you can get a dress at mango for a lower price ( $ 70 ) , but it’s a less similar style . this look was inspired by an outfit worn by judy garland in the 1954 film a star is born . the color looks amazing with stone’s fair skin and red hair — it’s no wonder sebastian can’t keep his eyes off mia in this scene .
the opening scene in a darkened theater ( after the newsreel ) is played by all the main male characters from the rest of the film , including joseph cotten and orson welles .
the secret of oz : solutions for a broken economy is the powerful new film from the creators of the ground breaking film the money masters . what ' s going on with the world ' s economy ? foreclosures are on the rise , unemployment is skyrocketing and this may only be the beginning . is it possible that solutions to the world ' s economic problems were embedded in one of the most beloved children ' s stories of all time ,
the wonderful wizard of oz ?
the yellow brick , the emerald city of oz , dorothy ' s silver slippers ( changed to ruby slippers for the movie version ) — all powerful symbols of author l . frank baum ' s belief that the people , not the big banks , should control the quantity of a nation ' s money .
it ' s hard to fault emerald city for its ambition and creativity , but there ' s a surprising level of violence here that only barely gets undercut by moments of silliness ( and it was hard to figure out early on if the wizard , played by vincent d ' onofrio , was supposed to be silly or sinister ) . maybe the tonal shifts were necessary because so many fingers appear to be in this reimagined pie .
director damien chazelle is only on his third film . but for the second year in a row , he ' s creating oscar buzz with the new musical
la la land .
it was rko head george schaefer who suggested the title change from
american
to
citizen kane .
orson welles had also wanted to call the film
john q .
“the dunning man” tells the tale of irish - american lad connor ryan , who is out of a job and dumped by his girlfriend , he returns to atlantic city to try to rebuild his life . in
production advisor miriam geiger quickly compiled a handmade film textbook for orson welles , a practical reference book of film techniques that he studied carefully . he then taught himself filmmaking by matching its visual vocabulary to the cabinet of dr . caligari ( 1920 ) , which he ordered from the museum of modern art and films by frank capra , rené clair , fritz lang , king vidor and jean renoir .
is it the first irish production outside of emerald city that i’ve seen of late that shows irish people ( specifically of the northern persuasion ) talking and behaving like real irish people do ? yes yes yes . well done to all involved . derry girls is a refreshing break from the norm . . . a groundbreaking show that will change the conversation in much the same way i hope our own movie will . . . authentic , funny and edgy . check it out .
in an attempt to recoup some of its losses after its initial box - office flop , rko distributed this film in january 1942 on a double bill with the little foxes ( 1941 ) starring bette davis .
thankfully , these unfamiliar approaches to characters like the scarecrow ( now a handsome , amnesia - stricken man ) and the wicked witch ( now an unpredictable opium addict ) will be grounded by familiar faces that many viewers will recognize from other television projects and movies , including marvel villains and a particular person of interest . so before you tune in to the series premiere of emerald city , get to know the 12 performers who will be guiding you on this strange trip down the yellow brick road…
when a tornado transports dorothy gale from lucas , kan . , to the faraway land of oz , her arrival sets in motion a prophecy about a disastrous event known as the beast forever and strikes fear into the land ' s almighty ruler , the wizard . on her quest to meet the wizard in emerald city , dorothy encounters witches , an amnesiac soldier , a sheltered little boy and many more mysterious beings who will ultimately shape the future of oz and dorothy ' s place in it .
emerald city has given us a refreshingly diverse lead in arjona ( born in puerto rico and raised in mexico ) , who tv audiences may remember as an i . a . detective whose number came up on person of interest season 4 , as well as the girlfriend of closeted , ill - fated paul woodrugh on true detective season 2 . you ' ll be able to see her on the big screen in the 2018 sequel pacific rim : uprising , alongside the force awakens ' john boyega .

on the night the movie opened in san francisco , orson welles found himself alone with william randolph hearst in an elevator at the city ' s fairmont hotel . aware that his father and hearst were friends , welles extended an invitation to the magnate to attend the film ' s premiere . hearst turned down the offer and , as he was about to exit the elevator at his floor , welles remarked ,
charles foster kane would have accepted .
deadline is now reporting that adria arjona ( true detective ) will join the cast as well . like most of the roles in the film so far , mum ' s the word on what her role will entail .
adaptations of novels and comic books are not going away ; if anything , in tv , they’re starting to seem more common than original concepts . while there’s nothing wrong with this trend , there are degrees of difference when it comes to previously published intellectual property . those taking on iconic stories with broad awareness in mainstream popular culture have to bring something new and different to the party . but “emerald city” only intermittently displays the kind of sustained energy that comes from a comprehensive , deep and truly exciting new vision .
a couple move to sydney from a small town , and soon become lured by the bright lights of the big city . colin , the scriptwriter husband , is corrupted by his editor and then falls for his . . . see full summary »
jackson cohen ( dracula , the raven ) will play lucas , described as handsome , mysterious and quick - witted . dorothy finds him , beaten , bloodied , and moaning on a post outside the ruins of his village . the sole survivor of what appears to gave been a mass crucifixion , he remembers nothing of his past , not even his name . he joins dorothy on her journey to the emerald city , and as they survive challenge after challenge , he proves his loyalty to the brave but bewildered newcomer .
the show had a long road to getting on the air . it first landed a straight - to - series order for the 2014 - 2015 season , but nbc opted to pass on the ambitious series , which at that time , was being developed by matthew arnold and josh friedman . then , for the next season , the network retooled the series with david schulner , giving yet another straight - to - series 10 - episode order in spring 2015 , though nbc did not put “emerald city” on the schedule until early 2017 .
in emerald city , in the blink of a tornado’s eye , 20 - year - old dorothy gale ( arjona ) and her k9 police dog are transported to another world , one far removed from our own — a mystical land of competing kingdoms , lethal warriors , dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy . this is the fabled land of oz in a way you’ve never seen before , where wicked witches don’t stay dead for long and a young girl becomes a headstrong warrior who holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands .
principal photography which began in late june 1940 , finished just a few days over schedule on october 23 . the movie was ready for release in february 1941 . the controversy surrounding the film delayed its opening until 1 may 1941 .
“emerald city” was a darker take on the classic “wizard of oz , ” following 20 - year - old dorothy gale , played by adria arjona , and her k9 police dog from kansas who , after a tornado , are transported to another world far away — a mystical land of competing kingdoms , lethal warriors , wicked witches , dark magic , and a bloody battle for supremacy . vincent d’onofrio starred as the wizard , and other cast members are oliver jackson - cohen , ana ularu , gerran howell , jordan loughran , and mido hamada .
sal : yeah we have contacts in l . a . now man , we did the george lynch and faster pussycat support , and we blew ‘em away . the promoter from that show said ‘come over’ , craig goldy said ‘come over’… we’re focussing on next year . joe’s been in touch with craig goldy about the destiny’s bridge thing [ emerald city won the perth leg on the destiny’s bridge band competition ] , and he thinks that might happen later this year , but it’s already been a year so who knows… we’re looking at doing a live album…
alan ladd makes an uncredited appearance as one of the reporters at the end of the film ( the one
with the pipe ,
as indicated in the credits list ) , discussing kane and
rosebud
just before the furnace finale .
perhaps as an unconscious creation , a small maybe . but the symbolism exactly matches william jennings bryan ( known as
the lion
of the silver movement ) and his attempts to get the usa off the gold standard ( yellow bricks ) . even his dalliance is heroin ( the poppys ) is detailed . dorothy ' s silver slippers were the answer to the problem – the banking establishment wanted the gold standard , and it was ruining america – dorothy ( the people ) , scarecrwo ( farmers ) , tin woodsman ( factory workers ) and bryan the lion . the emerald city with it ' s
phony
big head represents the usa ' s march towards oligarchy , or rule by those who can afford gold . we have now arrived at that city , and it ' s never been more important to understand what baum wrote and meant .
this may be slightly off topic but i recently watched the film
chapter 27
, a film about david chapman and the assassination of john lennon . in the film chapman has a strange attachment to a post card depicting the characters from
the wizard of oz
. this attachment is never explained , at least not to my understanding . when i was watching this film i instantly began to think of rumors i heard of chapman being a victim of mind control to kill lennon . when i saw the post card i thought of the theory that
the wizard of oz
was a
trigger
for mind control . being used to awaken a dormant hypnotized state of mind . i was wondering if you could maybe do an article on the these theorys and or the movie
chapter 27
. the movie is f * * * * * g creepy and if chapman really was a victim of mind control someone deffinetly added symbolizm that they thought only they would under stand .
gregg toland used faster film and much more powerful lighting that made it possible to get deep focus shots . toland also used a self - blimped ( self - muffling ) camera , which meant that orson welles had the freedom of greater camera movement .
in new york city the last wave of irish carpenters , painters , electricians , plumbers and bricklayers who had emigrated during the construction boom of the late 1980 ' s now find themselves being replaced by a fresh wave of manual labor , this time from south america and eastern europe .
according to orson welles , the nightclub set was available after another film had wrapped and that filming took 10 to 12 days to complete . for these scenes welles had dorothy comingore ' s throat sprayed with chemicals to give her voice a harsh , raspy tone .
barbara scharres , program director of the gene siskel film center , and radio personality mike houlihan said that that irish comedy hit “the young offenders” and “the dunning man , ” which is adapted from irish - american writer kevin fortuna’s short story , will also be shown .
to keep studio execs off his back , orson welles claimed the cast and crew were
in rehearsal
during the first few days of shooting , when in fact they were actually shooting the film . it took a number of days before the studio caught on .
adria arjona is on the rise . after recently scoring her first series regular role in tnt’s untitled miami drama and her first recurring stints on cbs’ person of interest and the upcoming season of hbo’s true detective , the young actress has landed her first series lead . arjona has been cast as dorothy in emerald city , nbc ’s 10 - episode straight - to - series wizard of oz drama . the project , originally developed during the 2013 - 14 season , was r ecently resurrected with a new writer / executive producer , david schulner . he is now joined by shaun cassidy , who also will serve as executive producer .
although marion davies is frequently held up as the model for susan alexander kane , the character was more likely to have been influenced by opera - singer - turned - film - actress hope hampton and opera - singer - turned - botanical - garden - founder madama ganna walska .
with pre - production of the sequel well underway , casting announcements have been coming in hot and fast recently . following the score of the up - and - coming john boyega ( star wars : the force awakens ) , the film has since cast scott eastwood ( gran torino ) , singer cailee spaeny , and jing tian ( the great wall ) , and levi meaden ( aftermath ) . it was recently revealed that the previous film ' s star , charlie hunnam ( sons of anarchy ) , would not return for the sequel due to scheduling conflicts .
limbo is a shared environment not limited to a single subconscious . it is referred to earlier in the film as
unconstructed dream space
. it is filled with cobb ' s decaying city because he is the only one in the group who has experienced limbo before . had cobb not spent 50 years there , it would have supposedly been empty space . a second theory is the city is the remains of what cobb and mal had created . when saito died from the gun shot wound , he entered the limbo in which cobb and mal had been . some say that it is not limbo , and that it is cobb ' s dream ( for how can cobb and ariadne purposely put themselves in limbo ) . a point to refute this is that fischer was in it , but maybe he was just a projection . mal is a projection , so why couldn ' t fischer also be ?
