![]() ![]() Lewis (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”) and screenwriter Michael Konyves never quite conquer the movie’s sprawling nature. ![]() If only more of “Barney’s Version” were equally precise. P gives “Barney’s Version” some of its most winning moments, tracing our perverse protagonist’s plunge into hopeless-romantic abandon with amused, affectionate clarity. Watching how, and why, Miriam becomes the third - and, to Barney, the only - Mrs. It begins to dissolve during their lavish wedding reception - when he catches sight of Miriam Grant (Rosamund Pike), a stunning and sophisticated siren with whom he falls instantly and irrevocably in love. After all, she’s rich, she’s smart, she’s got a swell rack - many marriages have been built on far less.īut not Barney’s marriage. She’s a definite catch - one Barney’s dad Izzy (Dustin Hoffman), a street-savvy cop, can’t help but admire. The second (Minnie Driver) is a strident Jewish Princess Barney encounters back in Montreal, where he’s selling Israel bonds and working with his TV-producer uncle. But free-spirited artist Clara (Rachelle Lefevre of TV’s “Off the Map”) has a dark side - which renders her all the more vulnerable to the well-intentioned Barney when they marry. Life seems all too easy for Barney’s best friend, drug-addled writer Boogie (Scott Speedman). The movie then flashes back to hippie-era Rome, where Barney and his arty pals pursue a life of heedless hedonism. When we first meet Barney, he’s a successful 70-something TV producer at the aptly named Totally Unnecessary Productions, home of the famously awful soap opera “O’Malley of the North.” (Fittingly, its title Mountie is played by none other than “Due South” Mountie Paul Gross, who’s joined by such stellar Canadian filmmakers as David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan and Denys Arcand in sly cameos.)īarney tools around Montreal in a big Mercedes, puffs omnipresent Cuban cigars, drinks whiskey that’s almost as aged as he is - and, as usual, tries to figure out how to undo all the damage he’s done, before he goes right out and causes more. It’s a familiar setting for those who have seen Richler-scripted adaptations of two semiautobiographical novels: 1974’s “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz,” with Richard Dreyfuss as the young man on the make, and 1985’s “Joshua Then And Now,” featuring James Woods as the title writer. ![]() It’s an appropriate nomination, considering how the movie’s title character (and those in his orbit) slip back and forth in time.īased on the final novel by the late Canadian writer Mordecai Richler, “Barney’s Version” finds the author returning to his favorite literary focus: Montreal’s Jewish community. (Let’s hope Giamatti wins something for his trouble Lord knows, the folks at Hollywood’s Academy Awards love to ignore him.) But at least “Barney’s Version” is up for one Oscar: best makeup. Little wonder that it’s up for 11 Genie Awards, Canada’s Oscar equivalent. Panofsky makes “Barney’s Version” far more compelling, and far more credible, than it otherwise might be. ![]() And his invaluable presence as the maddening Mr. (Which is a lot more people than he deserves.)Ī lot of actors would have trouble balancing Barney’s many obnoxious traits with his few, but undeniable, strengths.įortunately, Paul Giamatti’s not one of them. Movies like “Barney’s Version,” a reelin’-in-the-years chronicle of the inexplicably appealing title character.īarney Panofsky’s a piece of work, all right: an irascible, yet strangely irresistible, rascal with a world-class talent for alienating everyone who loves him.

And the entire kitchen is transformed because it is truly a work of art. ![]() The 6 footer with the double compartment is $7595, compared to a very nice stainless Franke sink at $2,000 (standard double sink). Now the big question everyone has is, how much is this magical kitchen workstation? Remember I said I splurged right? It’s certainly not the most expensive thing in my kitchen (hello Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer) but it is a lot more money than a traditional, boring, single function, zero wow factor sink. It is deep enough to hide a lot of secrets! Speaking of which, if I don’t have time to clean up I can hide dirty dishes with the boards. This is key because I can keep dirty dishes separate from my prep work. I have the 6 ft sink with a large 4 ft section and a smaller 2 ft. I designed my entire kitchen island to be just the Galley sink. And guess what? No dripping wet mess with a cooler! It’s a sink so it just drains away! The larger sinks have an option to have 2 divided compartments so you can use the small sink as an ice bucket for drinks. You can do a pasta station, salad bar, charcuterie or build your own pizza bar. Everything is done on the board fitted over the sink so the clean up is easy! The Galley has additional accessories you can purchase that will turn the entire sink into a serving area. I can even use the sink to finish, if mixing or stirring in of other seasonings is needed. My range is directly behind the sink so once I’m done with prep I turn around and cook. Then when you’re done cutting you scoot the cut products in the prep bowl and throw discard in the trash that’s under the sink for easy clean up (you install it separately but definitely design it this way). Wash each veggie in the colander that is fitted in one of the boards and drains into the sink, next to it is the cutting board so you can grab and cut. Grab everything you need and dump it in the sink. The deep sink is fitted with 2 tracks that allow for boards to fit in place creating a work station. Imagine everything happening all in one place, no more running around the kitchen – you wash, cut, season, mix and stir all in one place thanks to the modular design. This isn’t just a sink, it is a work station, it performs for you. If you cook and make everything from farm fresh produce, you will appreciate the symphony that takes place when prepping, cooking and serving using the Galley. It is that amazing, I am not exaggerating. How can I be so friggin’ excited about a sink?!!! Well, the Galley Sink is the single greatest human achievement since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. And believe it or not, my big splurge and the best thing in the kitchen is the SINK!! For someone who feels pure joy when cooking, I felt justified going with the no-holds-barred approach when designing my ultimate – and in equal parts beautiful and functional – kitchen. ![]() You have no idea how much fun and excitement is derived from scrutinizing architectural details and how rewarding it is to pick out tile, light fixtures, faucets, basically every single thing in the house down to each individual knob, but where I get most giddy, of course, is in the kitchen. I have been a little distracted lately, by a few things but mostly because I gutted my entire house and am working very hard building my dream home. I absolutely love the process. ![]() ![]() Do it before a debt collector gets involved. ![]() If you’re behind on your bills, don’t wait to call the creditors you owe money to.

Has the recent perception that a frat boy or a sorority girl has to fill certain stereotypes infected the hundred year tradition of Greek life? I kept find myself wanting to ask our friend in Sigma Nu why he had decided to dedicate half a year to pledging a frat and what his motivations were, and why were fraternities and sororities at my own school so different from a big school like Boulder. It’s the same thing with sororities too, one trying to “out party” the other. One frats party trying to top the others. Every single fraternity looked the same on Saturday night. I walked past other houses where lines were wrapping around the in the same fashion as Sigma Nu. Has it always been this way? I took a minute to step outside and take a walk down the block. Guys and less attractive girls were being kicked out, hordes of attractive girls were being let in. Here at Boulder, there was a guest list at every party, the girl to guy ratio had to always be two to one. At my school, anyone was welcome at parties, anyone could grab a cup and hit the keg. I had only been in college for two or three months before this experience, but I had attended a fair amount of parties at my respective school. I stood mostly observing all night, cup in hand, hat backwards, in order to somewhat fit in into that typical, cookie cutter frat boy look although I would never completely understand. I had never seen anything like it before in my life. I stood there with my few friends like complete foreigners, admiring this event like a young Steve Irwin observing a herd of water buffalo. Each group branded with a specific persona, a specific look. Frat boys in came in behind them, some in tank tops, others in button ups, chanting and barking like mad men. Sorority girls filed in passing by the makeshift bouncers in fantastically short dresses and skirts, dolled up like movie stars, ready to hit the dance floor or the ice luge. It was Saturday, a notoriously raucous night on “the hill”, and I was about to be astounded. Underneath the burrito splattered on the wall and the Solo cups scattered along the ground was a beautiful, colonial style mansion in which Boulder frat boys have been inhabiting for over 100 years. The inside of the house was beautiful in one way but completely vile in another. I stepped into the main house of Sigma Nu and was greeted by the slight stench of marijuana and two day old beer. Actually there were many Sigma Nu houses a whole block of houses with the Sigma and Nu symbols on them. I drove onto the infamous “Hill” on the campus of the University of Colorado Boulder and saw the gigantic Sigma Nu frat house.

However, when the market is down, lump sum investments may be preferred as it will earn higher returns. SIPs also help create the habit of disciplined savings. The power of compounding also ensures that interest earned from previous instalments are reinvested. The investment required is low investors can start as low as ₹100 per month. There are various advantages of choosing SIPs over lump sum. You can choose to invest in Mutual Funds via a single lump sum investment or smaller regular investments made periodically (weekly, monthly, or quarterly) known as SIPs. They are similar to balanced funds, where they make asset allocation and diversification easier. ![]() Sectoral Funds – These funds are invested in stocks belonging to specific sectors such as real estate, commodities, or companies that support social causes such as environmental welfare and human rights.įund-of-funds – These funds invest in other funds. The value of the Mutual Fund fluctuates with the value of the index. Index Funds – These funds aim to track the performance of a specific index such as Sensex or Nifty. They are considered a safe investment option, but with a lower potential return than other Mutual Funds. Money Market Funds – These funds are invested in short-term fixed income securities such as government bonds, treasury bills, commercial paper and certificates of deposit.

Von Praunheim’s most striking feature is 1983’s farcical genderqueer punk cabaret odyssey City of Lost Souls. The undersung canon of German director and activist Rosa von Praunheim includes over 40 films, from his early verité-style tribute to trans icon Tally Brown to an essential three-part AIDS documentary trilogy in the early ’90s. Watch it on Amazon, Apple TV, Max, and Google Play It’s a loving tribute not just to the burlesque stages that gave birth to musical theater as an artform, but to performers of years past who pushed the boundaries of performance and identity alike. Despite the similar milieu, it’s considerably lighter in tone when compared to a film like Cabaret, but Victor/Victoria was a uniquely transgressive role for an entertainer so synonymous with family-friendly classics. In a delightful bit of gender-bending trickery, Andrews isn’t just playing a woman pretending to be a man, but a woman pretending to be a man who works as a female impersonator, adding yet another level to the film’s exploration of gendered performance. Guided by the tutelage of Toddy (Robert Preston, another old-school musical star known for originating the title role in The Music Man), Victoria attempts to turn her fortunes around by presenting herself as a male performer. Under the direction of her husband Blake Edwards, Andrews plays Victoria Grant, a starving soprano struggling to find her break on the cabaret circuit. Watch it on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Playīy 1982, Julie Andrews was already something of a goody diva thanks to her star turns in ’60s classics The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins, but Victor/Victoria certified her as a queer icon as well. There’s also the fabulous dance student Leroy Johnson, played by Gene Anthony Ray, who has been described as a “flamboyantly camp” actor and choreographer that “brushed aside questions about his sexuality.” After various personal devastations and reality checks, the students redeclare their ambitions of stardom in the film’s closing graduation performance of the ELO-inspired ballad “ I Sing the Body Electric.” This ending message of hope amid an uncertain future and boldly celebrating one's unique self makes Fame a classic film among queer viewers and anyone else who is always in the process of becoming. There’s the capricious Ralph Garci, who gets into burlesque drag in order to bully and seduce MacNeil. While its most obviously queer storyline involves Montgomery MacNeil, a sensitive drama student who anxiously mentions being gay in a philosophical monologue to his classmates, the movie is rife with other queer-coded characters. The 1980 musical directed by Alan Parker tells the stories of a fictional group of students at New York City’s High School of the Performing Arts with realism and empathy, setting the bar for all performing arts high school movies to come. Without Fame, there would be no High School Musical or Step Up. In depicting those invigorating moments on film (and creating their own), these movies showcase the diverse ways music finds its way into our lives: From Marlon Riggs’ electrifying video art merging dance music and poetry to Derek Jarman’s crushing combo of abstract sound and image, there is no limit to the ways queer film intertwines music and visuals into one enlivened work of art. While the very first queer films stretch back more than 100 years, it wasn’t until the advent of popular music in the mid-20th century that they became more explicitly about music. Queer cinema, an elastic catch-all for movies that focus on any mode of non-heterosexual desire, has often identified this truth with cunning inventiveness. As queer people, some of the most pivotal moments of our lives occur in spaces where music fills every corner: Moving as one in a heated club with your chosen family, singing along with your local drag queen, pressed against a throng of bodies at a life-giving concert-when it comes to expressing ourselves, music’s rapturous delights have always offered a clear path toward escape and ecstasy. ![]() ![]() Some cookies are also necessary for the technical operation of our website.

![]() ![]() With these three methods you can already solve many problems. “Starting at index position, remove one element and keep the rest. I find it easier to visualise what I am going to remove by thinking in the following way: let arr = Ĭonsole.log(arr.splice( 2, 1)) // □ console.log(arr) // The slice () method can be used to create a copy of an array or return a portion of an array. In the example below, we will use the splice() method to remove 1 element starting at position. From the third argument on, all are optional they specify the elements to be added to the array.The second argument specifies the number of elements to be removed.The first argument specifies the location at which to start adding or removing elements.The splice() method can be used to add or remove elements from an array. let arr = Ĭonsole.log(arr.shift()) // □ console.log(arr) // Removing elements at any position in a Javascript array If there are no elements, or the array length is 0, the method returns undefined. If you dont specify any elements, splice() will only remove elements from the array. Also, the shift() method returns the element that was removed and updates the length property. The elements to add to the array, beginning at the start index. It is worth remembering that this method modifies the array on which it is invoked. This means that the array index is updated, and you don’t lose the first reference ( arr). When the element is removed, the remaining elements are moved. This method takes no parameters, since its only function is to remove the first element of an array. This works much like the pop() method we just saw, except that it removes the first element of a Javascript array instead of the last element. ![]() How to remove the first element from a JavaScript array? Easy… let arr = Ĭonsole.log(arr.pop()) // □ console.log(arr) // Removing an element at the beginning of a Javascript array The pop() method modifies the array on which it is invoked, which means that the last element is removed completely and the length of the array is reduced without generating a new array. It removes the last element from the array, returns that element, and updates the length property. Javascript already has a method to handle this, the pop() method. Removing an element at the end of a Javascript array The new function returns a new array instead: const arr 2,1,3 const newArr arr.toSorted () // It didn't mutate the original array // arr 2, 1, 3 // newArr 1, 2, 3 The old splice function was often used to remove elements from an array, but it altered the existing list, which was sometimes unwanted. Here we will discuss three different ways to solve this problem once and for all. So how do you delete an element from an array in Javascript? Unfortunately, there is no simple method like Array.remove() that works for all cases. You can add and remove elements from the array in different ways. More clearly, om(obj, mapFn, thisArg) has the same result as om(obj).map(mapFn, thisArg), except that it does not create an intermediate array, and mapFn only receives two arguments ( element, index) without the whole array, because the array is still under construction.Arrays in JavaScript allow you to group values together and iterate over them. If the arrayLike object is missing some index properties, they become undefined in the new array.Īom() has an optional parameter mapFn, which allows you to execute a function on each element of the array being created, similar to map(). ![]() To convert an async iterable to an array, use omAsync().Īom() never creates a sparse array. If the specified number of elements to insert differs from the number of elements being removed, the arrays length will be changed as well. ![]() To convert an ordinary object that's not iterable or array-like to an array (by enumerating its property keys, values, or both), use Object.keys(), Object.values(), or Object.entries(). The splice() method is a mutating method.
