![]() ![]() Lady Bird’s poses, priorities and passions are mercurial and Ronan and Gerwig get this across in big, broad strokes. Ronan, at 23 reaching the end of her teen movie window, is never less than brilliant as a girl in mid-evolution. ![]() And playwright/actor Tracy Letts (“The Lovers,” TV’s “Divorce”) tries his hand at warm and cute as “the good cop” dad, the one there to comfort and spoil his daughter and encourage the dreams her mom is hellbent on crushing. Metcalf, so much more than “Rosanne’s” sister, makes the mother a study in furious resignation, an unfiltered, foul-mouthed nurse who alternately indulges and insults, coddles and cudgels her youngest child. The beating heart of the picture pulses through the parents. The plump best friend ( Beanie Feldstein) who shares Lady Bird’s academic underachievement, the rich girl ( Odeya Rush) she wants to impress, the brooding “deep” musician ( Timothee Chalamet) she is drawn to all are given a Gerwig twist.Ī JV football coach/priest called in to direct a play, in a pinch, feels like a rejected idea from a John Hughes comedy of the ’80s. Gerwig casts a rich, lived-in tapestry for Lady Bird to inhabit, and that makes the high school movie cliches play fresh. If this dizzy, naive teen from the provinces can charm this rich, handsome leading man, who knows where she can go in the world? She may be, as she declares, “from the wrong side of the tracks,” but to Danny, she’s a kindred spirit, and Hedges registers unalloyed delight in her presence. But that’s where she meets her first love.ĭanny, given an awkward, amusing luminescence by Lucas Hedges (“Manchester by the Sea”) clicks with Lady Bird. When she finally dips her toe in the joint girls school/boys school fall musical of her senior year (Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along”) Lady Bird isn’t an instant star (though Ronan allows her a flamboyant charisma and stage presence). It’s just that a girl who has renamed herself “Lady Bird,” who hopelessly runs for class president every year, who’s clueless that her innate theatricality means she might want to consider school plays instead of hopeless dreams of mathletic glory, isn’t about realism. Her teachers, some of them nuns ( Lois Smith) are gentler, but just as realistic. Her guidance counselor laughs in her face. Grades be damned, she wants to go to an school in the East, to New York. “You can’t even pass your driver’s test…You aren’t even worth state (college) tuition.”īut in 2002, in the shadow of 9/11, a Sacramento girl can dream. The wonderful Saoirse Ronan channels her writer-director in Gerwig’s self-written, semi-autobiographical comedy “Lady Bird.” And as amusing as it was to hear the affected, pretentiously daffy Gerwig locutions playing perky, upbeat and willfully dizzy Gerwig characters in Woody Allen’s fantasy of New York, the writer-director has parked this rough draft of herself in a warm, witty and wise comedy about growing up in Sacramento, and yearning far-too-openly for something else.Ĭhristine (Ronan) goes to a Catholic School with, her furiously critical mother never forgets to remind her, “rich kids.” Mom, given an acrid desperation by Laurie Metcalf, is equally blunt in telling Christine, “We’re NOT rich,” that her daughter’s college aspirations don’t match her talents. ![]() But with “Lady Bird,” she’s found a way to pass the torch. For more information on membership and to join online, visit our membership page.Greta Gerwig has matured out of playing the adorable, quirky, self-absorbed with self-invention young women of “Hannah Takes the Stairs” and “Damsels in Distress.” In film after film, she’s let us see the social y striving - posh, put-on accents, affected to-the-manner-born posing, feigned enthusiasm and self-promotion in every character (“Frances Ha,” “Mistress America”). Ticket purchase includes same-day admission to the Museum (see gallery hours). (Members may contact with questions regarding online reservations.) Tickets: $15 (Free for members at the Film Lover level and MoMI Kids Premium levels and above). Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is a sharply funny and uniquely moving look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the life-defining complications of home. Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson (Ronan) is a strong-willed, opinionated, and wildly passionate seventeen-year-old in constant combat with her strong-willed, opinionated, and wildly passionate mom (Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird’s father (Letts) loses his job. In her critically acclaimed, semi-autobiographical directorial debut, Greta Gerwig excavates both the humor and pathos in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. With Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Odeya Rush, Tracey Letts, Laurie Metcalf, Kathryn Newton, Lucas Hedges.

![]() ![]() She remains an inspiration to the drag community, and her involvement in Obey The Walrus remains a piece of crucial meme history. Among her accomplishments is a permanent portrait in The Louvre, an appearance in Marilyn Manson’s “The Dope Show” music video and several film roles. Goddess Bunny passed in January 2021 at 61 after a lifetime of struggling with polio and HIV, but she gained a significant following in those years partly due to the success of Obey The Walrus, though mostly due to her own strengths as a performer and her uniquely inspiring life. Even so, some posts gave full context as to who’s being shown and the source (a 1994 documentary on Goddess Bunny), which still resulted in scared and mocking replies, offering a glimpse into the rough start of drag queen visibility online. Those who didn’t know have an excuse, and many simply comment on the creepy atmosphere of the video rather than Goddess Bunny specifically. The problem with Obey The Walrus is that, with context, it becomes more sad than creepy, and the trend becomes problematic considering it hinges on being afraid of and laughing at footage of a disabled drag queen taking part in her passion. Obey The Walrus is an admittedly eerie viral video featuring a clip of transgender drag queen Goddess Bunny, who was disabled since birth due to polio, dancing to a creepy version of “Itsy Bitsy Spider.” The video spread across the web without context due to its creepy atmosphere, especially without context. Obey The Walrus is arguably one of the earliest viral “drag memes,” and shows us how far the community has come in terms of acceptance. If you’re not familiar with the scene, it’s time to get caught up. Plus, there’s a new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race going on, which always means an influx of drag-related memes in every corner of the web. The community is so tight-knit and supportive of its members that drag meme spaces are some of the most positive on the web, offering a huge range of comedy styles and formats that anyone can vibe with.ĭrag memes have been popping up in mainstream meme circles with more and more frequency over the years as the culture becomes further accepted around the world. The members are experts at snappy references and callbacks, always at the ready to strike and make gold out of what they’re given. Few online communities meme quite as well as the drag community. ![]() ![]() There was a sense of familiarity in the story, which lulled me in a false sense of security. ![]() What I do remember was having a great time, and I remember walking away from it invigorated by the realization that I just saw something fun, and wild, and it definitely stands out beyond the throng of inept Hollywood horror rubbish. I will admit however that the story is nothing new and indeed echoes earlier “I’m cursed” films like Thinner. Many could accuse this film of not being scary, and I can agree with that, but then again I can’t remember actually being terrified by Raimi’s horror films. Throughout the film you do worry as to how she will avoid this fate. Then again, just that image alone is enough to make you afraid to see it again. In the end, the sequence leaves it to your imagination as to what’s in store below. He burns a horrible image in your brain of the ground cracking with demon hands emerging from the cracks to grab and claw at your flesh as you are being pulled into a fiery abyss. Another thing that Raimi does extremely well in the beginning of the film is illustrating the horrors that await Christine if she fails to save herself. Lohman really sells the desperation to erase that one mistake she made. We all want to get respect from our bosses in order to get a promotion, and in doing so we are forced to do things that make us feel dirty. Any decisions she makes early in the film are ones that we ashamedly are willing to make. Lohman is totally sympathetic as a protagonist. Raimi lets you in on the demented fun of torturing a reasonably good person. Most of the time the filmmakers want you to share in the terror of the protagonist. When you think about it, that really is a different position when you’re viewing a horror film. What’s more, you find yourself giggling sadistically. While it’s not as outrageous as Raimi’s earlier films, it is in your face (figuratively and literally) on an excruciating level. ![]() The horror of this film isn’t what I would deem very scary, but I will say that it is stylish, and it definitely bears the signature style that has become synonymous with the name Sam Raimi. Alison Lohman is definitely game to take a Sam Raimi style beating because from the moment she gets into her car after work, she is destined to suffer the tortures of the damned. Raimi has a notorious love for torturing his lead actor. While this film is definitely not as graphic as the Evil Dead trilogy, you can be assured that the protagonist of this film suffers on a very similar level to Ash. With DMTH Raimi sets out to prove that he has never forsaken the genre that earned him much praise. Many have accused Raimi of straying from his roots by breaking out into blockbuster filmmaking when he made the Spider-Man films. Raimi pioneered the art of the dark comedy/horror genre when he directed the Evil Dead trilogy. Watching DMTH felt like the return of an old friend. Now Christine has three days to save her soul before she is forced into the depths of hell.ĪNALYSIS: Finally Sam Raimi takes a cue from Christopher Nolan by taking a break from his multi-million dollar superhero franchise to get back to the genre that established him as a creative force in technical filmmaking. She rejects a loan extension on the home of an old gypsy woman, and the old woman’s wrath is terrible when she curses Christine. SYNOPSIS: Christine Brown has worked hard for the perfect life and the perfect boyfriend, and she is striving to have the perfect job until her ambition gets the better of her. Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Dileep Rao, David Paymer, Adriana Barraza, and Reggie Lee Does Raimi still have the magic that made him a horror icon, or has he let the cobwebs build up too much? Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots with the paranormal thriller Drag Me To Hell.

WEIGHT LOSSĪnother obvious benefit of boot camp classes - they’re a great option if you’re trying to lose weight. “You’re learning to carry your body around, not a bunch of weights, which I think is a great thing,” Porcari told Time. Study co-author John Porcari, professor of exercise and sport science and program director of the clinical exercise physiology program at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, says that boot camp classes emphasize functional training over just building strength, something he sees as a huge benefit to boot camp classes. Training your body to get through daily activities is a skill that should not be overlooked. To look at the effectiveness of boot camp workouts, researchers put six men and six women, all between the ages of 19 and 29, through a 40-minute boot camp workout and measured their oxygen consumption, caloric burn, and heart rate. The workouts, typically made up of simple bodyweight movements with minimal equipment, are not only great for losing weight and building strength, but also for training people to get through their day-to-day activities more effectively. But science says there’s nothing quite as effective as a good ol’ fashioned boot camp workout.Ī recent study done by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) looked into the effectiveness of boot camp workouts and found them to be one of the best group exercise options. I feel like I’m on my way to becoming a better me and THAT is a very good thing.If you're looking to get in shape in a group setting, there are plenty of fancy, overly complicated fitness classes ready to take your money. It’s 45 minutes out of my day and totally worth it. I don’t plan on tracking my food forever, but I love how I feel after each work-out. I can totally see how this becomes a lifestyle. The key for me is more protein and less carbs. It’s a smidge challenging since I might be the worst meal-planning person on the planet, but I’m making it work thus far. I’m trying to be fairly regimented during the week so that on the weekend I can have a nice meal out and enjoy a glass of wine or dessert. I’ve cut WAY back and am tracking my food via My Fitness Pal. December and January were full of too much cake and sweets. (The end of a work-out is a whole other story.) My endurance levels on every single exercise have improved AND I can see a teeny tiny bit of muscle definition that didn’t used to be there. While they are still hard, I can knock out at least 10 (at the beginning of the work-out) before having to step out instead of jumping. Woohoo! I gained an inch in my legs but it’s muscle, so I’m okay with that. And while I didn’t lose anything there, I did lose an inch off my butt and a half inch off my arms. When I started, I was hoping to lose an inch or so in my waist to ensure my bridesmaid dress fits a wee bit better. ![]() So you want to know if I’ve seen changes right? I absolutely have, even after just one month. ![]() I have never left thinking “Geez, I wish I’d stayed home.” I mean, panting, trying not to puke, hard. I spent $35 on a Groupon that gave me a one month trial membership. It’s been one month since I started at Burn Boot Camp. After kids, I joined the YMCA, but nothing (except maybe Zumba) made me want to scream “THIS IS AWESOME!” ![]() Yes, I do it because I want to stay healthy, but I’ve never been super regimented about it. I’m turning into one of those crazy work-out people. ![]() ![]() Maintaining the proper decisive actions throughout the game is crucial because if a player misses the platform on a jump or crashes into an object on the rocket, then they need to restart that round from the beginning. If the visual experience is nerve-racking, then you should focus on the music instead. The energetic tunes are a key aspect of the game because they let people become immersed in a more enjoyable way, particularly by making the dangerous passages easier to navigate. This same upbeat music can be used to assist people in winning, as the electronic music’s beats correlate to the jumps that need to be made. ![]() To the beat of addictive music, players tap their way through the GD world by jumping and flying through lots of danger.
