every daughter’s bond with her mother is special and different. a mother is a confidant, a friend, a guide, a shoulder to cry on, a teacher and the person who would love you the most in the world. a mother’s love cannot be measured nor can it be compared. however, we often have serious tiffs and fights with our mothers especially when it comes to fashion sense and ideologies. mothers are the first step of the moral policing that a daughter faces while stepping out in their stilettos and little black dress to conquer the world and paint the town red. before you take a step out you hear a voice saying, “are you going out in that? ” or “why don’t you wear that jacket you bought in simla? ” filtercopy has shared a video that focuses on fashion conversations with mom for the occasion of mother’s day that will be celebrated on may 14, 2017 .

actor gene wilder, who entertained audiences with his performances in willy wonka & the chocolate factory, the producers and blazing saddles, died monday. he was 83 years old .
mother earth gives birth to a baby she wants to protect from the evils swirling in her own household. she stays awake for days, refusing to hand the baby over to bardem for fear he will share him with his worshippers. when she falls asleep, bardem does just that. his worshippers swiftly snap the baby’s neck in their frenzied excitement, dismember him, and eat his body parts—literally consuming the body and blood of christ .
according to lawrence, the film “depicts the rape and torment of mother earth. it’s not for everybody, ” she warned the telegraph. “it’s a hard film to watch. but it’s important for people to understand the allegory we intended. that they know i represent mother earth; javier, whose character is a poet, represents a form of god, a creator; _ _ michelle pfeiffer) ) is an eve to ed harris’s adam; there’s cain and abel; and the setting sometimes resembles the garden of eden. ”
i knew that the term “gender reveal” didn’t sit right with me, because we can’t reveal an unborn baby’s gender any more than we can reveal their favorite color or love of puzzles .

di: yeah, i think because the people who are asking questions aren’t academics, and there’s a time limit. and that’s fine. we feel like we walk in the footsteps of oral historians and studs terkel, who loved storycorps! i’m not so concerned about what people call it, i’m just kind of concerned that people take the time to have these conversations .
at several points in the film, lawrence’s character reaches out and touches the walls of the home—feeling something inside of them. both lawrence and aronofsky have spoken about one major breakthrough about mother’s character being the idea that the house she built from the ground up is an extension of her .
she said ,
no, no. it' s true. i was unhappy — i was married, i was unhappy and i knew i was going to fall in love with you .

aronofsky has said that the odd punctuation of the title is a clue to the film’s dizzying, 25 - minute conclusion—his cinematic exclamation point being a sequence in which lawrence’s character, mother, claws her way through a climactic, five - part fever dream of horrors that have fallen upon her cherished creation .

messina said that he and aronofsky spent a lot of time discussing “mother’s direct and visual and emotional connection to the house. it was called ‘the darkness of her imagination’—the moments where she touches the walls and has this direct connection, seen as almost a beating heart—a more organic structure inside the house that she was connected to. ”

hannigan says the whole process of finding the right actress to play the mom was
very secretive
and caused some suspicion around set when trailers that would
never be locked
suddenly were. hannigan says she first met the mother, cristin milioti, in a makeup trailer because producers wanted to see how the pair looked side by side .
though i didn’t have the intellectual honesty to admit this to my mother, in fairness it should be pointed out that the right isn’t singularly guilty of such perverse investments. progressives were similarly vested in the failure of the 2007 iraq surge championed by senator john mccain that more dispassionate observers later conceded had some success. but at the least in that instance some consensus existed on what the metrics of success might be—which was stabilization of the iraqi situation—not to mention the terminology by which success might be defined. in the same way that my mother and i aren’t even talking about the same obamacare when we talk about obamacare, we’re not talking about the same barack obama when we talk about obama. mom remarked at lunch on how combative and aggressive the president was in his discussion with o’reilly, that paragon of supernaturally even temperament, even as some of us have been waiting five years for the president’s body heat to finally rise within 10 degrees of losing his cool: get

this argentinian film, currently in the international film festival circuit, is not - to - be - missed. it stars the 80 something year old south american diva of theater and cinema, china zorrilla and eduardo blanco (of the 2001 oscar - nominated hit
son of the bride
). a truly poignant story, it is nevertheless delivered with lots of humor - with the best exchange of one - liners between mother and son i can remember, making the film light and thoroughly enjoyable. there is not one dull moment, nor is there a climax. it is uniformly entertaining, thought - provoking, and emotional throughout. none of the corniness one would expect (i did) about the subject matter ever surfaces. it is fresh, delightful, and uplifting. if this film is not a 10, then there are no tens. enjoy it .
after keeling over in her garden, family matriarch hyacinth still roams the earth, despite the fact that she is very much dead. and while hyacinth tries to give up her ghost, her grown daughters struggle with their own midlife crises: lily wants to go back to college despite being thrown a curveball, while workaholic heather tries to schedule time for baby adoption. amid the comedy and chaos lurks a distant relative from the other side, pushing their buttons and nudging them to make peace with their lives .

storycorps has also launched initiatives to capture the voices of special demographics: ethnic minorities, teachers, seniors, people with memory loss, even one dedicated to preserving alaskan heritage. the archive is a paean to unsung heroes—people like ted weaver, a janitor and chauffeur in pre - civil - rights era knoxville, tennessee, who stayed up late to teach himself algebra so he could help his son lynn with homework. (lynn tells of his father’s modest feats in a recording embedded in the box above. )
i read numerous articles on it, one of which was written by a high school classmate who welcomed twins with his wife in january 2015. his wife and he refer to their parenting style as gender neutral parenting and gave both children gender neutral names .
as part of their approach, they avoid pronouns by saying the child’s name ― and when asked on the street “are they boys or girls? ” the parents respond with “they haven’t told us yet. ” i thought that was a really thoughtful answer .
unfinished conversations considers a set of intertwining themes: social protest; the effect of history on the formation of identity; and how art juxtaposes fact and fiction, realism with the utopian. from cairo to st. petersburg, from the hague to recife, the intergenerational artists in the exhibition observe and interpret acts and structures of state violence, as well as the resistance and activism they provoke. they reexamine charged historical moments, evoking images of the past and claiming their place within it. and they take on contemporary debates, intervening into contemporary struggles over the significance of government surveillance and the exploitation of labor. the anxiety that informs so much of our world today is their subject matter, which they approach through a variety of artistic strategies .

ast week i had lunch with my mother. at 86 going on 66 she’s remarkable, alert and energetic, in generally high spirits; in the last decade she’s found the church, which i figure is fair enough for anyone who knows they must be somewhere near the end. now this enters her conversation more, which i accept as well as someone can who has a higher opinion of god than of religion. mom and i used to talk about politics a lot, something that always unnerved my wife, who didn’t understand how our contentiousness could be so good natured. but starting with the iraq war, which made me madder than anything in my political life (including the vietnam war, when i was a potential draftee), and moving into the age of obama, we’ve tiptoed around the subject of politics, for reasons that became clear at last week’s lunch when we skirted the subjects of fox commentator bill o’reilly’s super bowl interview with the president, health - care reform, and the weather. mom is an o’reilly fan; she requested a signed book of his for christmas which i dutifully got for her, and the truth is there are lots of people i find more noxious than the voluble o’reilly who, unless he’s reneged on it, scored some credibility points with me a year or two back when he told his listeners to get over the fact that the president is indeed an american and not a kenyan .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
alyson hannigan, otherwise known as lily aldrin, has been busy since the show ended a little more than a year ago. she' s had her hands full with being a mom, has a role in a new film called
modern love

usually

jason was pitching some really funny specials, like a hanukkah special and all these things with carter. it was quite funny... carter said we could do eight hanukkah specials. one for each night. i' d be up for it ,
she said .
as for pfeiffer, aronofsky told vanity fair that the actress “was playing this kind of eve character, the first woman character. i was trying to think, ‘what was eve? who was eve? ’ and i said she was mischievous—if i had to come up with one trait. you could sort of conceive of her eating the apple mischievously, ” aronofsky said. (though in his version, bardem’s crystal is the forbidden fruit .) “so i said, ‘play that’ and she took it and became this cat playing with a mouse of jen lawrence. ”
wilder faced his own cancer diagnosis in 2000 — but he wasn' t afraid, and was in remission when he spoke with gross in 2005 .

with aptaker and berger no longer available, “the studio will try (developing a spinoff) with different writers, ” fox chairman dana walden told deadline. no previous himym spinoff ideas will be carried over. “they will be starting from scratch, ” she said of the new effort, potentially for next season, which is currently locking in a writer. “it’s one that’s been slowly cooked. if it’s the right idea the right execution, we’ll take that, ” walden said about doing a himym spinoff, which the studio first attempted at cbs during the original series’ final season .

di: half of our slots are for the general public. the other half we call “outreach” interviews, where we partner with nonprofits—they suggest their clients go into the booths to record their stories. i think the power of the storycorps interview is that having someone listen to you in this quiet booth and asking who you are and how you want to be remembered tells people that they matter. a bunch of years ago on the bowery, i did a radio documentary and a book about guys who lived in these prison - size cubicles with chicken wire on the top. i remember bringing the galley up into one of the flophouses and showing it to one of the guys who was in the book. he stood there for a couple of seconds and then he yanked the book out of my hands and he started running down the hall with the book over his head shouting, “i exist! i exist! ”
you say the character [ of leo bloom ] was meek and insecure, and you could' ve been describing me as well. i was a very shy person in those days, and working with zero, who was bigger than life, helped me grow. zero was a strong influence on me .
“we’ve had conversations for a full year about a potential spinoff, no one has written it yet, ” walden said. “ultimately i think if something comes organically out of the show, we’d pursue it. we don’t want to force it on the show because if it doesn’t feel organic it will feel like it will be just a distraction from the flagship. we really believe in the show, we want it to live for a very long time and at a certain point, after one - two seasons, the creators felt that the flagship was the priority and we support that. ”
“we both came up with the idea that she should go barefoot for the entire movie and be more connected to the house, which was sort of part of her—one organism—so she slipped off her shoes and put her feet on the hardwood floor and i just saw her change and she became the character, ” aronofsky said .
bardem’s character is also obsessed with a mysterious crystal that he keeps in his office, which nobody is allowed to touch, and often takes advantage of lawrence’s kindly nature. but she takes it in her stride, insisting that her husband is a very special sort of genius and needs time and space to create his next work .
now that i think about it, with the perspective of only a single week, i don’t remember what mom and i talked about at what i do otherwise remember to have been our very pleasant lunch. i seem to recall some comment about how good our government - regulated chicken pot pies were, how my work was going, my ups and downs in parenting her 16 - year - old grandson and eight - year - old granddaughter—the stuff that maybe moms and their grown sons should talk about. and then, having flirted with danger at some barely stable nexus of our two parallel political universes, we retreated to other, much simpler matters, like god .
store, ice cream shop, or dry cleaners. we didn’t want to work at a liquor store because during this time the la riots were happening and they were targeted so we decided not to go that route. and i can do anything with my hands. i knew how to sew already and thought that working at a dry cleaners would be easier .

her voice was the soundtrack of your childhood, her hands the ones that fed you, held you, dressed you in your first clothes. as a child you saw her daily, and as a grownup your connection to her is apt to remain so instinctive that you don’t even think about it. but how well do you really know your mother? her life was rich and full of sauce well before you got here. the part of her you have seen and valued as her child is really only one facet of a complex and intriguing person .
radio producer dave isay first made his mark with stories like ghetto life 101, for which he enlisted a pair of precocious eighth - graders to document their lives in a chicago housing project. he saw how putting the kids in charge of the recording gear gave them license to ask questions they might never have asked otherwise—and how the mere act of participating in these very personal interviews “could transform people’s lives. ”
actor josh radnor was told about the major
himym
finale twist during season 1 of the show and hannigan actually found out early as well. they had to film a lot of reactions for ted mosby' s kids early in the series that would then air in later seasons, the actress said, and after that some
whisperings
started getting out that the series would end with the mom' s death .
unfinished conversations is about the present, in that all of the works were made in the recent past and many respond to specific circumstances. viewed in juxtaposition, they are made within the context of today’s global rise of populist movements organized around notions of racial and national belonging in both liberal democratic and autocratic states. however, beyond simply responding to the present, many of them participate in the formation of our reality. these artists anticipate the future through a close study of history, whether recent or centuries long. the exhibition attempts to follow the artists’ leads, asking how present crises are produced by what came before; querying not if things are getting worse but, rather, paying close attention to some of the cultural struggles that have long structured democracy, freedom, and human rights as values based in historical contradictions .
at the time, i didn' t know why, but i know now that when i was a little boy, i was scared to death of the frankenstein films... and in all these years later, i wanted it to come out with a happy ending, and i think it was my fear of the frankenstein movies when i was 8 and 9 and 10 years old that made me want to write that story .
there are some that will roll their eyes at this and say “sex reveal, gender real, it’s all the same thing, ” but it’s not. words matter, and in a world where 40 percent of transgender individuals attempt to take their life at least once and a record number of transgender teens are ending up homeless, defining for any child what their gender is and what it should look like just doesn’t sit right with me .
i met her on the first night of filming... hanky panky that sidney poitier was directing. and it' s funny, i was in costume and makeup — my tuxedo and makeup because i' d done a few shots before she arrived, and she told me later that she cried all the way in, in the car, because she knew that she was going to fall in love with me and want to get married .
my family immigrated to the united states in 1992. a trained artist in korea, younghye han left that behind and has spent the last 24 years, working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, as a seamstress and running her own dry cleaning business in manteca, california. it has been 24 years since her last painting. inspired by the birth of her first granddaughter in 2015, she began drawing and painting again. this is my mother’s first exhibition. it features her works made in korea, her most recent pieces, and my responses to her last unfinished drawings made in the first year we immigrated to the united states .
“this movie comes from darren’s mind, but he really wanted the people around him to interpret it and give their opinions about it, ” messina said about the production process. “given the movies that darren has made, like requiem for a dream, is she dosing herself? ” messina wondered to vanity fair, noting that the film is told entirely through lawrence’s perspective with careful camera angles. “‘is this really happening? is this all a dream? ’”
“there are all of these alchemy theories about the octagon and numeric beliefs about the number eight and about infinity and regeneration, ” said aronofsky, adding that it also gave him a new, literal dimension to play with in terms of cinematography. “the reason i like the octagon shape as a filmmaker was when i shot through a doorway you’re not looking at a flat wall. you’re looking at a diagonal wall that adds depth and just makes things more interesting. ”
unfinished conversations: new works from the collection assembles artworks by 15 artists made in the past decade and recently acquired by the museum of modern art. the exhibition takes its title from john akomfrah’s 2012 video installation the unfinished conversation, which is included in the show and chronicles the life and work of stuart hall, the jamaican - born cultural theorist and a leader of the british new left. in his 2011 essay “ social responsibility, cultural sustainability, ” hall argued that museums are places where meaning is debated and narratives of the past are shaped. furthermore, he contended that museum collections are “a source of inspiration which create thought - provoking visions of our past. they provide testimony to the darkest and brightest of human history. ” this exhibition explores how hall’s understanding of history as both multifaceted and in need of interrogation is reflected in artworks from moma’s collection, and how these recently made works offer insights into our historical present .
mother! mastermind darren aronofsky has said that he is open to audiences interpreting his surreal nightmare drama, premiering friday, in a number of ways. he personally described the film as an “assault” and a “fever dream. ” star jennifer lawrence acknowledged that it isn’t a horror film as much as it is a giant allegory, and the film was only classified as horror because they wanted to mentally prepare audiences for the atrocities graphically depicted on screen. and last week, at a toronto film festival premiere, co - star ed harris joked, “i’m still not quite sure what to think of it all. ” deadpanned javier bardem: “basically i did not know what i was doing... i don’t even really speak english. ”
at such junctures, however, our conversations become not just futile but as loony as all the other discussions these days of so - called obamacare. they’re loony because they’re about a law that’s already passed and whose success or failure is already underway and will eventually speak for itself in defiance of any effort now to try and interpret that success or failure beforehand, and maybe even in spite of the concerted efforts of republican governors to sabotage it. all of which is to say that, because mom gets all her “information” within the bubble of fox nation, she missed the recent spectacle occasioned by a congressional budget office report on obamacare and jobs when the news story became not the report itself but rather the right’s interpretation of it, concluding that the report said what in fact it didn’t (which is that obamacare would kill jobs rather than offer more senior workers, for example, the opportunity to leave the job force if they want, since they no longer have to keep a job simply for the health - care benefits). politics always is about perception to some extent but obamacare’s outcome is beyond the politics of perception, something the right can’t accept because it’s too vested in a failure that, whatever you might think of the original policy, would be catastrophic, since even most of the right now begrudgingly acknowledges—as heard in the republican responses to the state of the union—that the earlier status quo no longer is tenable as it had to do with a health - care system that was on its way to consuming a quarter of the national economy .
di: if you were going to do interviews in a penitentiary, it takes a lot of work and a lot of planning. but everyone wants to participate. alex kotlowitz —a great guy who wrote there are no children here —and i were talking about this idea that you’ll do an interview with someone, specifically people who have served in iraq and afghanistan, and it’ll be this very powerful story. at the end, you’ll be like, “have you ever told this story before? ” and they’ll say no. and you’ll say, “why? ” “no one ever asked. ”
“but let’s channel that anger not into hate, not into violence, not into fear, but let’s channel that difference, that anger into righteous action. right now, down the road there’s a blood drive going on in heather’s name. right now there are people who are here willing to listen to one another and talk to one another. last night in new england, they had a peaceful rally in heather’s name to have some difficult dialogues. if you ever want to see what one of those dialogues look like, look at her facebook posts. i’m telling you, they were rough sometimes, but they were dialogues and the conversations have to happen. that’s the only way we’re going to carry heather’s spark through. so remember in your heart, if you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention, and i want you to pay attention, find what’s wrong, don’t ignore it, don’t look the other way, you make a point to look at it and say to yourself ‘what can i do to make a difference? ’ and that’s how you’re going to make my child’s death worthwhile. i’d rather have my child, but by golly, if i got to give her up, we’re going to make it count. ”
