But no figure is more associated with his tenure than the Belgian auteur Ivo van Hove. Under Nicola, the theater staged Churchill’s work eight times, more than any other writer. “They wanted to change the form,” Nicola said. In conversations with Stephen Graham, its founder and current board member, he learned that the theater, which was already funding fellowships for directors, was hungry to have a bigger public profile. What became New York Theater Workshop had been presenting work around Manhattan for nearly a decade when Nicola raised his hand for the top job. A year studying abroad took him to the Royal Court Theater in London, where he got interested in directing.Įventually, it helped lead him to the writing of the British experimentalist Caryl Churchill, a Royal Court favorite, whose work he helped champion at the New York Shakespeare Festival and at Arena Stage, in Washington, D.C., where he had a one-year directing fellowship that turned into seven more years as a producing associate. In high school and then for a while at Tufts University, he took private singing lessons, imagining a career in opera or choral music. NICOLA GREW UP OUTSIDE HARTFORD, Conn., gay and closeted, the oldest of four brothers in a middle-class family. “It’s a different style of artistic directorship - that you’re in community, in dialogue, not just a blip,” she added. That’s not easy to find, even in nonprofit theaters that don’t have to obsess over the bottom line. I am so obsessed with Meg Ryan’s basket (literal white, braided basket!) of potato chips that I can’t even summarize what’s going on, because all I’m thinking about is how I need a chip basket.Tom asks out Victoria, a decorator he works with, and is of course incredibly trembly and anxious and endearing about it.Oh my God, I did not know Gaby Hoffman was in this movie in her child-actor days.All I want is for Rob Reiner to be my personal relationship consultant.Why does this guy Meg Ryan works with have a harp in his office?.“What we think of as ‘fate’ is just two neuroses knowing they're a perfect match.” Important and real statement.Meg Ryan’s fiancé is wearing an all-red pajama suit that I can only describe as “toxic.” She’s clearly not thrilled about his snoring.All these thirsty women are now sending Tom fan mail, despite the fact that they don’t know what he looks like.Oh noooooo, Tom’s dead wife visits him in a New Year’s Eve dream and he tells her, “I miss you so much it hurts.” I’m going to have to watch a much worse and less emotionally weighty rom-com after this.Apparently, 2,000 women called the station looking to be Small Son’s dad’s new wife.God, remember when everybody used to listen to call-in radio shows? No? I’m old.I hope it’s because he earned enough from this movie to leave “the business” in his dust. I wonder if this kid ever did anything else in Hollywood.Oh my God, I straight-up forgot Small Son and Tom live on a houseboat-type thing.Small Son calls into a radio station asking the host to help him find his dad a new wife, and Meg Ryan overhears it/is charmed.They met through a classic sandwich mix-up, as one does. Meg Ryan is marrying a guy who seems to be allergic to everything.Hey, it’s the mom from Six Feet Under! I love this woman.He’s adamant that he won’t start dating again. Okay, Tom and his small son are moving from Chicago to Seattle.So much hair! Although I have to say, I prefer him as a zaddy. The literal first scene of this movie is in a graveyard.Why the fuck did I think watching a movie where Tom Hanks explains to his small son that his mother has died would make me feel better?.Below, find an unabridged guide to every thought I had while rewatching the eternal classic Sleepless in Seattle-released 29 years ago today. Luckily, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are always there for me. (Okay, first I like to protest and donate to abortion funds, but when the anger and sadness have run their course, I need to watch something to cool off.) It’s been a very bad, no-good, horrible, rotten, 24 hours, and I don’t know about you, but when I’m seething over the loss of my constitutional right to reproductive freedom, I like to watch an old rom-com.

Solid memory work is the essential substrate upon which all understanding is built. It is the goldmine of education, the richest seam. This is antithetical to good practice and violates all that cognitive science tells us about the process of learning. It never fails to shock me how many educators speak as if memory is evil and memorization should be avoided at all costs.

Hierarchy of effects' stack can also be changed and thus plenty more variations are possible. Most if not all are meant to be used together with U-points, otherwise pretty useless for instance I recurred a lot to the glow effect, but the reality was that more often than not with just u-points to very specific areas, as I mentioned before it's silly but there's no way to save those u-points. You've got to understand that many of them were developed working on some specific look/batch/context/experience, plenty of times directly with unrefined (no time to cut baby's nails man?!!) base image, sometimes darker, sometimes brighter, more constrasty, more bland, etc. only luma and chroma tweaks without masks), convert Davinci's base trim_lut0.dpx to png or tif, apply your recipe and then create an timeline with the file and extract the grade's LUT in Resolve =)įinally, attached are 41 presets - the ones managed to find - I created on CE long time ago plus a couple charts for testing. If there is something you'd like to apply to a video, you can save a recipe (as long as there are no vignetes, sharpening, etc. I found to be useful to mark the favourite effects (yellow star) so they're easier to locate. in Pro-contrast the effect is not activated unless you create either "+" or "-" u-points. Also U-points behave differently depending on filter, e.g. You can export your recipes and backed them up, shared them, etc. basically there's no way of creating a U-point "memory". Selective Tool’s interface is now scaled to the main monitor’s resolution 3. Interface is now displayed taking into account scale setting from current monitor 2.

Whenever I say u-point I mean control points, I'm used that way these points behave a bit like add or/and subtract circular gradients' masks (with selectable ratio/size and transparency/power) but they also are very sensitive to where they're placed, a bit like a spot light (mimicking a 3D behaviour) within the confinement of a 2 space.

Using this, plus your Valkyrie’s skills and masterful evasion can allow you to decimate your opponents. But the combat is where the game shines.Ĭombat takes inspiration from games like Devil May Cry in which your character can string combos to defeat enemies. Along the way, you get to meet and recruit other Valkyries that fight for you (you use the gacha for recruiting and you sometimes get new units in the story) and woo them if you want. In the game, you control Valkyries - women who fight against the Honkai (aliens that invaded Earth) to defend the planet.

Overall, the free game with in-app purchases is a must-try for new and old RPG fans. Also, you’ll find it fulfilling to get all the characters you want from the game’s missions or gacha system. You’ll have fun exploring the vast world, finishing quests, fighting unique enemies, unraveling mysteries, and more as you try to save your twin who was captured by one of the gods in the game. If you haven’t jumped into the world of Teyvat in Genshin Impact yet and are interested to do so, know that you’re in for hours of enjoyment. No wonder it received some awards during the first year since its release. It tops all the best mobile RPGs when it comes to present-day gaming trends: open-world setting, anime-style characters, action-packed and versatile gameplay, and more.
