9/21/2023 0 Comments Pixar theory good dinosaur![]() ![]() These grownup interlocutors have given Pixar films an uncommon richness and depth-even those of us outside the immediate target demographic can relate to Marlin’s worry for his son or Carl’s grief over his wife or Woody’s duty to “leave no toy behind.” Stripped of this additional layer, The Good Dinosaur feels less like a Pixar movie and more like … well, a Disney one. Though its previous 15 feature films have often involved children, they’ve been told principally through the perspective of adults (Boo has Sully and Mike Nemo has Marlin the Incredibles kids have their parents and Russell has Carl Fredricksen) or adult-like figures (the toys of Toy Story the emotions of Inside Out). But it’s also a story about kids, told more or less exclusively from the kids’ perspective. (Jack Bright snarls and howls wonderfully in the latter role.) Along the way, they encounter creatures both helpful and hostile, and they overcome a variety of obstacles. ![]() The story concerns a fearful, clumsy young apatosaurus named Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa) who gets separated from his family and makes his way back home with the help of a feral caveboy whom he befriends. But it breaks new ground for Pixar in that it’s the studio’s first feature that is explicitly-and pretty much exclusively-a kid’s movie. The Good Dinosaur is by no means a bad movie. But Pixar’s downward slide into sequel-itis since Toy Story 3 has been difficult to miss.) But it is notable that recent years have seen some of Disney’s best films in a long while- Frozen, Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6-and some of Pixar’s worst: Cars 2, Monsters University, and, now, The Good Dinosaur. I have no idea if this is what’s taken place since Disney acquired Pixar in 2006 and put John Lasseter in charge of both animation studios. ![]()

9/21/2023 0 Comments Key collector app![]() ![]() The wider dissemination of the story details to collectors/speculators puts more outside eyes on the issue, though, which could lead to higher retailer orders/sales than those placed even with the benefit of the preview PDF. Of course, any good retailer could’ve made the determination to up their orders on the issue already after reading the PDF provided by DC/Diamond. How can the information from Key Collector on what’s ‘hot’ each week, or even on what’s ‘hot’ in back issues, actually be trusted if it’s coming from sources with a vested interest in selling those comics?Īs for the leaking of the Flash Forward #6 information, who benefits from that? Again it’s retailers, who may see interest in the issue driven up by app subscribers who got the spoiler notification. If a retailer/retailers are providing Key Collector with information, they could be doing so to try to drive sales for themselves. There’s nothing to say a retailer couldn’t also be using the app to keep track of what people might be after in their inventory. Collectors/speculators use the Key Collector app to determine what to buy. Is everything “pure,” though, as Coglianese says it is? The potential for conflict of interest is strong here. The Beat reached out to Coglianese regarding the source for the Flash Forward information, and his response was that he “was tipped off by an app user.” It’s things that I’ve reached a conclusion on, or that people have told me that I’m passing along.”Ī relationship between a retailer or multiple retailers and Coglianese/Key Collector, then, is not exactly shocking to consider. “So everything on the app, everything I put out, it’s…pure. In an interview with ICv2, Coglianese said, while clarifying that he’s not a comic seller himself, that he populates the app using tips from other people: In terms of new releases, though, it seems likely Coglianese gets story information - say, for the app’s weekly Wednesday morning updates with what that week’s ‘hot’ books are - from people (like retailers) with inside knowledge of what’s coming. A lot of the details found within the app are easy enough to find elsewhere, at least when it comes to back issues. So how did Key Collector get their hands on it? There’s nothing on Key Collector’s website about where Coglianese gets the app’s information. A retailer caught leaking one of those PDFs could get in serious trouble with Diamond. Those advance PDFs are heavily watermarked, with a store’s account information all over them, to deter just this sort of leaking. Aside from that being a really shitty thing to do, it’s also a serious offense for the retailer from the standpoint both of the publisher and of Diamond. The alert, seen in a screenshot here, features details of the ending of Flash Forward #6, and an image from the final page of the issue (the spoiler details have been blurred out):īased on the combination of both the information and the image accompanying it, it seems safe to assume that someone leaked the retailer PDF of the issue to Key Collector. Yesterday, an alert appeared for paid subscribers to Key Collector Comics, an app created by Nick Coglianese and used by collectors (and often speculators) to track ‘hot’ new comics and key back issues. yoV1FjhE92įlash Forward #6 was on Final Order Cutoff on Monday, January 27th, and on Friday DC released via Diamond, as they occasionally do, a PDF of the issue to retailers, so that shop owners and purchasers could read the issue and adjust their FOC orders accordingly based on what they think demand for it will be. We said you're NOT READY for the surprise ending of Flash Forward #6 by and but here are some interior pages to tide you over until the issue is out on February 19. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are Byrne and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus performing “One Fine Day” from David Byrne’s American Utopia on Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) last year.ĭavid Byrne’s American Utopia features David Byrne with Jacquelene Acevedo, Gustavo Di Dalva, Daniel Freedman, Chris Giarmo, Tim Keiper, Tendayi Kuumba, Karl Mansfield, Mauro Refosco, Stéphane San Juan, Angie Swan, and Bobby Wooten III Davi Viera also performs on the album. ![]() The British publication NME said it “may just be the best live show of all time.” Byrne and the ensemble performed more than 150 dates in twenty-seven countries over nine months. The concert tour in support of American Utopia, which inspired the Broadway show, included songs from the new album along with music from Talking Heads and Byrne’s solo career. "The concert-theater-dance spectacle finds solace in human connections … a tonic for our tumultuous times."Īmerican Utopia began as an album, also released by Nonesuch, which received a Grammy nomination and was the first by Byrne to reach #1 on the Album Chart it was also his first to reach the Top Five on the Billboard 200 chart. Pure bliss." "A heady swirl of hope for our anxious times," says Rolling Stone. "A knockout celebration of music, dance and song. ![]() Most important, the songs sound great.” "Astonishing," raves Hollywood Reporter. "Byrne puts the central tenet of making contact with a world outside your mind into dynamic, sensory practice onstage." “Gorgeously designed, deliciously fun,” says the New Yorker, “backed by a rangy, versatile, exuberant band. "Dazzling, rapturous and jubilant," exclaims the New York Times of the show. To pick up a copy, head to your local record store, the Nonesuch Store, Amazon, and iTunes, and hear it now on Apple Music, Spotify, and other digital service providers. The cast album for the critically acclaimed Broadway production of David Byrne’s American Utopia, with music and lyrics by David Byrne, is now available in a double-vinyl edition, following its digital and CD release late last year. ![]() ![]() ![]() As with all Tales games, the main hook of Tales of Symphonia Remastered is its central characters. Tales of Symphonia Remastered will take you about 50 hours to complete if you only focus on its main story, with nearly double that if you want to tackle side stories. The story starts fairly simplistically and it’ll be a couple of hours before the first revelations and twists blindside you. ![]() Lloyd is a brash, charming kid with no worries in the world, until a fateful moment when he has to become Colette’s guardian on her journey. You play as Lloyd, a friend of the girl who is the Chosen one, named Colette. ![]() To stop this, a Chosen one has to make a journey of regenerating the world to maintain its balance. Tales of Symphonia Remastered takes place in the world of Sylverant, where mana has started depleting and the world is turning into chaos. However, it’s an inferior version of a game that’s already been released multiple times, making it a hard sell for both new and returning players. So, how exactly does this game stack up against modern remasters and its past releases? TL DR Underneath numerous technical problems, Tales of Symphonia Remastered is still a JRPG worth playing, especially if you’ve never experienced it before. After all, publishers like Square Enix have done it well before, like in the case of Crisis Core -FFVII- Reunion. Given this version’s subtitle, fans were hoping for more with the 2023 release on modern platforms. Every version since then has been based on the PS2 version, including the PC and PS3 re-releases. Instead, the original was ported to the PS2, which lowered the game’s FPS from 60 to 30. Developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment Romania, this release is little more than a port, and in some ways, it’s inferior to the versions we’ve already played over the years.īefore we get into it, it’s worth noting that Tales of Symphonia Remastered is not a direct port of the Nintendo Gamecube original. Their latest effort to do so in the form of Tales of Symphonia Remastered isn’t a triumphant return for the Tales series as the fans might have expected it to be. Due to how popular it became, however, the publisher Bandai Namco decided to re-release the game multiple times since then. With it, the series finally made the jump to 3D and brought the Tales games to the spotlight. Enter Tales of Symphonia, a 2003 game released on the Nintendo Gamecube. With each new entry bringing new gameplay innovation and a brand-new story and world to explore (with a few direct sequel exceptions), the series has garnered quite a cult following. Starting in 1995 with Tales of Phantasia, the series has had a consistent output of creative, enjoyable titles over the years. The Tales series is one of Bandai Namco’s flagship darlings. ![]() 9/21/2023 0 Comments Anime wallpaper for laptop![]() ![]() 3840x2400px shar pei, puppy, laptop, small dog, cute puppy, HD wallpaper.2880x1800px Apple MacBook, laptop on black background, modern technology, laptop, Apple, HD wallpaper.6016x4000px cup, coffee, books, pen, laptop, HD wallpaper.1920x1440px Pink Anime Aesthetic Laptop, Kawaii Aesthetic, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px best for laptop, Shiva, HD wallpaper.853x1280px Laptop, graphy, camera, HD phone wallpaper.5139x3456px laptop, numbers, dark, HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Laptop Red Sunset Background Laptop, HD wallpaper.Laptop Kawaii Aesthetic dark cup cute animals book Pastel Purple anime books graphy pen puppies interior camera Cute laptop IPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad iPad, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 4, 9.7" iPad Pro: 2048x1536, 1536x2048 IPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Plus: 1284x2778 IPhone Xs Max, iPhone 11 Pro Max: 1242x2688 IPhone X, iPhone Xs, iPhone 11 Pro: 1125x2436 IPhone 6 plus, iPhone 6s plus, iPhone 7 plus, iPhone 8 plus: 1242x2208 IPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8: 750x1334 IPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone SE: 640x1136 IPhone: iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS: 320x480 Once you are done, you can play around with an array of 3D, screen resolution, and tiling options available, and choose one that befits you.MacBook Pro 13.3" Retina, MacBook Air 13" Retina, MacBook Air 13.3"(2020, M1): 2560x1600 Dual monitor: Right-click the image and select the option to set it as your background.
