Doyle ,'Life of the Party'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Reputedly closely modeled on the Upper West Side of the mid sixties.
Definitely. Upper West Side or Morningside Heights. (Actually, my dad's cousin claims that it was the specific block that she and my dad grew up on, but I've never seen anything to back that one up. But it's clearly that neighborhood.)
I'm trying to think of other movie associations I have for different cities. I can't really think of too many. Oh! Newport is High Society. And San Francisco is largely Pal Joey.
Australia- Crocodile Dundee (sorry, billytea!)
As well you should be. That's not a first impression of Australia, this is a first impression of Australia: "Daynjah, daynjah, daynjah!" t end of impression
Happy birthday, Burrell!
Happy birthday, Calli!
Special for Theo: Fake tilt shift Photoshopping.
How to make a real photo look like a model.
Check out the "model" Fenway.
I don't know why it's cooler to make something real look fake, except it's a particular kind of fake.
My first impressions of Australia came from the film Fast Talking.
My impressions of Australia come from Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Sirens (both of which I recommend heartily for your Buffista viewing pleasure, BTW).
David -- how cool! I hadn't come across that before. Now I have to go take some panorama-type pictures to try it out on! It's amazing to me how much about animation and other visual disciplines is really about making stuff more like the human eye perceives rather than how the phenomenon really is -- such as, if you want to show gears or wheels spinning really fast, it's much easier to animate a blur rather than rotate a wheel spinning extremely fast. The blur will look more "real" 90% of the time....
My impressions of New York are from The Channel 2 News, with Jim Jensen (I lived in the suburbs, never went into the city much).
My impressions of LA were from Emergency! and The Rockford Files.
My first impression of Australia was from a show I saw in syndication called Whiplash >[link] with Peter Graves. I wanted his hat. I Googled because I didn't remember the name of the show, just Peter Graves and Australia, and learned that Gene Roddenberry wrote for it.
Mine was Skippy! Which was like Flipper but with a kangaroo.
Dear lord, I remember this show. Probably better than Flipper, for some reason.
Love, love, love Priscilla with a deep and abiding passion.
Speaking of Australia, saw an extended preview for Baz's new film last night during Mad Men and was melting into a puddle of goo over the absolute gorgeousness. (And Huge Jackman looked quite lovely too *g*)
