All were taken by an old-fashioned 10 x 8 view camera and printed in richly toned black and white.Īnd of course, when art - real art - has that kind of effect, it is almost inevitable that bigots, fools, politicians, and editorial writers will find some way to trample on it. A girl applying make-up to her younger sister in the sun, alongside the rear end of a pickup truck, mirrors and brushes scattered among the shadows on the grass. A girl with fierce eyes and smudged face paint entwined with an adult arm, which bears the girl’s bite marks. It was a dream - but not an escape: pain and boredom and damage were all there, along with a landscape humming with unchecked growth three striking young faces and a throat-catching level of intimacy.Īlmost every image was remarkable: A boy in just shorts resting, eyes closed, on an outdoor rug, a dog rolling on its back alongside him, both indolent creatures seen from above. And the effect, like a late afternoon reverie, was cumulative. Collected together in a lightweight, soft-cover book with a straightforward title, “Immediate Family,” they were easy to flip through. They were simply among the most beautiful photographs I had ever seen. To me it almost didn’t matter who had made the pictures. As for that annoying raccoon, he keeps getting in the way.

Motion capture technology and digital characters were on the extreme rise in the Aughts, allowing the Apes saga to move beyond practical makeup and into a new special effects arena that would allow for more emotion in performance from the lead Apes. Where to Watch: Stream on Hulu or rent on Amazon and most platforms. But there's no harm in still watching them first. They represent a fully rebooted timeline, presumedly with a different future than the one Charlton Heston's astronaut discovers in the 1968 film. Here's the caveat: The three prequels from the last decade or so are not connected to the original series of films. The Planet of the Apes Movies in Chronological Order A tenth film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, will arrive in 2024. The 2001 reboot makes six and then the three prequels, which showcase how the world fell to the apes, round out the nine.

Treasury yields jumped in the bond market after a report showed hiring accelerated across the economy by much more than expected last month. I love when we got to see the female characters come together. I'm such a huge proponent of women supporting women, and I loved the scenes where we got to see Ahsoka and Padme, or Ahsoka and Barriss before Barriss turned on her, or Ahsoka and Ventress. That would be important for her to be there. They did have a beautiful friendship, so Ahsoka would want to be at Padme's funeral. I was so happy to hear that she was there because I feel like one thing that never got explored enough, and we did have some amazing moments with Ahsoka and Padme between "Clone Wars" and then "Forces of Destiny," but Ahsoka and Padme were very close. I wasn't surprised by the Jedi training episode because we always talked a lot about Ahsoka's training and Ahsoka's relationship with Anakin, but the episode where she was at Padme's funeral was really touching to me. Everything's so confidential, so I didn't know. How much did these stories line up with what you originally envisioned for the character?ĭave Filoni always works on a need-to-know basis, so he tells you what you need to know to record, but nothing more usually, because there's so many stories that are being told.

Reading my mind, an older woman dropped out of the dance, sat down beside me, and said, "If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. "Don't make a fool of yourself," I thought. I remembered another time I had stayed on the sidelines, when the dancing began after a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete. The first time I went tango dancing I was too intimidated to get out on the floor. It's a complex and difficult dance, so I'm up to three lessons a week, three nights out dancing, and I'm off to Buenos Aires for three months of immersion in tango culture. It's a form of existential aerobics, a moving meditation. The CD-changer has six discs at the ready: waltz, swing, country, rock 'n' roll, salsa and tango.Įach morning when I walk through the house on the way to make coffee, I turn on the music, hit the "shuffle" button and it's Dance Time! I dance alone to whatever is playing. The seldom-used dining room of my house is now an often-used ballroom - an open space with a hardwood floor, stereo and a disco ball. I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind. “That’s because before you, Ben, no one had even thought of it!” the head teacher snapped. “It isn’t in the playground rules that we can’t tightrope walk along the top of the fence, Mrs Mackintosh,” Ben said innocently, pointing to the poster on the side of the wall. “You’re very lucky you haven’t broken your necks!” the girls heard Mrs Mackintosh saying crossly. As if he’d listen to her! And his friend Rob was even worse. Her big brother Ben was always in trouble at school – which wasn’t fair, because all the teachers either thought that meant Olivia was naughty too, or that she ought to have stopped him. “Something awful, as usual,” Olivia muttered, as they ran across the playground to see what was going on. “What have Ben and Rob done now?” her friend Lucie asked. Mrs Mackintosh sounded as if she’d yelled right in Olivia’s ear, even though she was on the other side of the playground. “Ben Williams and Rob Ford! Get down from there right now!” There was the sound of a whistle blowing. For more information about Holly Webb visit: CONTENTS |
