![]() Instead of glossing over the energy-based superhero's manly parts (the way Mystique's bod remains relatively modest in "X-Men"), the blue being's bold penis is on full display again and again. Manhattan's computer-generated blue body is true to actor Billy Crudup's own physique, but it doesn't really matter - the perfectly sculpted Watchman is quite memorable. Strictly speaking, we'll never know how much of Dr. It's impossible to decide what's most unforgettable: the look of agony on Ted's face, the gut-busting reaction by Mary's family (particularly stepfather Keith David), or the image of the injured penis - oh the horror!Īlso Check Out: 'Members Only With Michael Fassbender on MTV.com Not all penis scenes are created equal, and few are as funny as Ben Stiller's scene-stealing "Frank and Beans," which get stuck in poor young Ted's zipper the evening of his prom - at his dream date's house. and I look at mine a lot!" in his stand up. The actor is so renowned for displaying himself on camera that comedian Dennis Miller regularly included the joke "I've seen Harvey Keitel's dick more than I've seen my own. Keitel's family jewels memorably graced "The Piano," "Bad Lieutenant" and "Ulysses' Gaze" to name just three of his full frontal films. There were many Keitel penis moments to choose from, so we're highlighting him rather than his movies. ![]() For the record, no penises were harmed for the scene it was a prosthetic. When Harold and Kumar try to escape, it's Harold's penis, not his tongue, that gets frozen to the metal. In the stoner duo's take on holiday flicks, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) pay tribute to the infamous tongue-on-the-flagpole scene in "A Christmas Story," except the guys have been tied naked to a warehouse pole by Ukrainian mobsters. 'A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas' (2011) In honor of Fassbender's courage to reveal everything, we're celebrating the movies - and actors - who've dared to go full frontal.ĩ. In Steve McQueen's new drama "Shame," Fassbender plays a sex addict who's in the buff so often his body is naked nearly as often as its clothed. Michael Fassbender, however, has no qualms about showing what God gave him. ![]() We're merely noting that throughout history, while paintings and sculptures have depicted the nude male body with regularity, film has a limited number of offerings (not counting the XXX variety, of course), whereas leading ladies (even Oscar-winning ones) drop cover again and again.

![]() Which requires me, as the teacher, to take on the important role of helping, in particular, the reluctant readers in my classes to find books that engage and suit them. Now, due to time constraints (Donalyn Miller hasĪlmost two hours with her students per day I have 48 minutes), I haven't completely mimicked her teaching methods, but I have tried to bring into greater prominence the independent reading piece. They're simply imitating what they have read. The students who are great writers don't even realize what they're doing when they're stringing together different sentence structures, or organizing their writing with structure or details. Based on students' writing, I can tell who reads a lot and who does not spend their time in books. Grammar only matters in the context of reading and writing language.Īfter almost 5 years in the classroom, I can totally see the same results. And all the while that they read, they become more naturally aware of the flow of language and of sentence construction. When they write, they use their independent reading books as the source and impetus. When they talk about literature, they do it in the context of the choice books they're reading on their own. So in her book, Miller describes how she makes independent reading the focus of all her 6th grade students' English language arts studies. ![]() Students must be able to read to absorb the content of all subject areas, students can only learn to read by READING a variety of texts and READING often. Students who read independently on a regular basis are more likely to meet and exceed testing, critical thinking, reading, writing, math, and other standards, and generally meet with more success in school. And even in a private school, the educational trends coming from universities and local, state, and federal governments still affect the expectations of the administation, the teachers, the students, and the parents.ĭonalyn Miller, in her book, The Book Whisperer, scraps all the politics of literacy and literature and Common Core and other standards by simply getting back to the basics. I am fortunate enough to be employed in a school where testing and meticulously scheduled standards are not the only or central focus, but I have many teacher friends who are. We live in a time and culture where, because education is subsidized by the government, it unfortunately has as many bureaucratic issues at any other government agency (I'd argue MORE). Last spring, the reading specialist at my school recommended a book to me by Donalyn Miller, which completely changed my outlook on teaching English Language Arts. ![]() Counterintuitively, in some areas of the game, the left and right click functions are arbitrarily reversed. Left click to activate dungeons squares and attack monsters, right click to check for more information. Most of the game's actions are performed with the mouse.
Alternatively, if the free patterns are offered on a website or in a sewing magazine, then those patterns are often drafted by many different designers, using different slopers (a sloper is a basic form-fitting pattern that designers use to develop other patterns). By contrast, most pattern companies only offer a few free sewing patterns, so you don’t sew enough with one particular pattern company to learn how that companies’ patterns should be adapted to fit your body. The reason is I’ve sewn enough with Vogue/McCall’s/Butterick patterns to know how they need to be altered to fit me, and by now I can usually just sew a pattern straight from the envelope (without making a test garment) because I know that my standard set of adjustments will almost always work. One quick sidebar before we jump in: Although I love free sewing patterns as much as the next gal, I still mainly sew with Vogue/McCall’s/Butterick patterns, which are not free but usually cost less than $6 on sale. Plus, check out my recommendations for places to buy fabric and sewing equipment to use to make up these patterns here. All of these websites are from reputable fabric stores, pattern companies or sewing publications, so rest assured that the patterns are well-drafted.īelow is a summary of the types of free sewing patterns that you will find on each website. ![]() ![]() The following 11 websites have collections of free sewing patterns for stylish, on-trend women’s clothing: Mood Fabrics,, , Peppermint Mag, Fibre Mood, BurdaStyle (Russia), Bernina, Lekala Patterns, Grasser, Marfy and. Because who wants to spend time sewing basics that they can easily buy anywhere? Best of all, these free patterns still have all kinds of stylish details that set them apart from boring basics. That was back in 2011, and the internet has come a long way since then - nowadays there are free sewing patterns for every part of a woman’s wardrobe, whether you’re looking for tops, dresses, skirts, pants, coats, jumpsuits or even swimwear and lingerie. When I first starting sewing, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on patterns that I wasn’t sure I would know how to use, so I wondered: where can I find free (but stylish) women’s sewing patterns that I could print out in the comfort of my own home? I searched high and low for these free PDF sewing patterns but found very little (and what I did find consisted mostly of shapeless boxes). ![]() Bayonetta is one of the coolest female characters I've ever come across in gaming. It is just Bayonetta's purpose, and she fulfills that purpose with extreme skill. The game, after all, is mostly about Bayonetta killing the angelic legions that stand in her way to the truth, but I never felt evil or diabolical while playing. The Umbra Witches aren't necessarily evil so much as they are an important part of the universe's balance. One of the most brilliant things about this backstory is how the two clans are portrayed. At the end, only one Umbra Witch remained: Bayonetta. Both clans had deep respect for each other, but a tragic event caused the two clans to enter into a terrible war. The Lumen, aligned with the god of Paradiso, controlled the power of light, while the Umbra, funneling power from the demons of Inferno, watched over the darkness. Long ago, two clans - the Lumen Sages and Umbran Witches - maintained the balance between the opposing forces. At the heart of Bayonetta is a story about the traditional balance between light and darkness. It might be hard to imagine after hearing about these issues that Bayonetta is still a fun game - but it is. This is much more preferable to the age-old "talking cardboard cutout" that Japanese RPGs use during dialogue scenes, but I would have preferred seeing every sequence in Bayonetta fully animated. ![]() The camera will continue to move during these sequences though, giving the otherwise static cutscenes a sense of motion. I refer primarily to the "filmstrip cutscenes." Instead of fully animated cutscenes, the game will display some events with still models of the characters. Bayonetta also has a few strange presentation elements that seem to contradict the game's normally detailed aesthetics. Although the backstory in Bayonetta is extremely intriguing, the actual plot - which I'll discuss shortly - is loose at best. Besides these PS3-specific issues, there are also a number of problems that affect both the PS3 and the 360 versions of the game. For a game that's supposed to emphasize quick action and style, these loads are almost deal-breakers. There's even an obnoxious load time just to view a list of save files. There's loading when you pick up an item and there's loading as you scroll through menus. When the player pauses the game during combat or a cutscene, there's noticeable loading before the pause menu is displayed. ![]() No news yet on when or where we’ll be able to see the series, or who will be cast to voice the characters. The series will be executive produced by Carriger, Hirsh, and Kevin Kolde. “ Parasol Protectorate is a wickedly fun, addictive, and refreshing paranormal adventure and will be an incredibly exciting and wonderful addition to the animation space,” he shared.

If this appeals then you might like to try Death Most Definite by Trent Jamieson. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. All-in-all, the witty writing in a Victorian setting sings on the page and makes this novel highly entertaining indeed. And the relationship Alexia has with her silly mother and giggly sisters is also a lovely piece of writing. For example, Ivy had learned to find Alexia's bluntness entertaining. Full moons, copious amounts of blood etc are all thrown into the mix.Īnother great section is when Carriger describes the friendship between Alexia and the rather wan Miss Ivy Hisselpenny. The language throughout is creatively ridiculous in the best possible taste - and it works. New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger writes to cope with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon.

Soulless by Gail Carriger, 9780316402415, available at Book Depository with free delivery worldwide. The whole fantastic vampire-werewolf scenario just adds another element to what is, in essence, a comedy of Victorian manners and courtship. She would literally snort at this silly social piece of etiquette and do her own thing, regardless. By this time I've got the measure of Alexia. The language is of the period and adds to the sense of fun.Ĭarriger ramps it up to uproarious proportions when talking about Victorian etiquette for ladies. Their obvious mutual attraction (while Alexia ferociously denies it) is great fun to read. But her whole childhood history is given to the reader in full right at the beginning of the novel.Īlexia seems to keep bumping into a rather attractive man. So what exactly is she? She also seems to have some interesting - powers, for want of a better word. We learn that Alexia is neither a vampire nor a werewolf. Soulless is the debut novel from Gail Carriger and the first book in the genre-bending Parasol Protectorate series. I was impressed that Carriger could keep up the imaginative lines throughout the whole book. Apt one-liners fly all over the pages such as Natural, daylight persons were kept in the dark, so to speak, but any vampire worth his blood should know a preternatural's touch. All frills and lace and Victorian manners. We first meet the bold Alexia at a social gathering. I must admit I don't think I've read a book quite like this in a long time and I like to think I have pretty eclectic tastes. It's full of lovely descriptions and sharp dialogue. ![]() She'd no doubt call a spade a spade - and a vampire, well, a vampire. Īlexia is one feisty young woman who does not mince her words. I kind of expected a bit of a treat owing to the author's original short biography on the back cover. The front cover is wickedly arresting and sums up the contents beautifully. This is a genre I do not normally choose to read so I was open-minded. I just knew that Alexia was going to be bags of fun - and she was. Her forthright character is refreshingly at odds with the rather snivelling wallflowers of the era. Miss Tarabotti fairly bounces (in a ladylike fashion, of course) onto the page. ![]() The heroine, Alexia Tarabotti is a force to be reckoned with and she doesn't suffer fools gladly Summary: A delicious and razor-sharp, witty tale of werewolves and vampires in Victorian times. ![]() And it is clear that the MacBook isn't my computer - it is Apple's.

By the release of Any Rags, Betty Boop was forever established as a human character. While much credit has been given to Grim Natwick for helping to transform Max Fleischer's creation, her transition into the cute cartoon girl was also in part due to the work of Berny Wolf, Otto Feuer, Seymour Kneitel, "Doc" Crandall, Willard Bowsky, and James "Shamus" Culhane. Within a year, Betty made the transition from an incidental human-canine breed to a completely human female character. In individual cartoons, she was called "Nancy Lee" or "Nan McGrew"-derived from the Helen Kane film Dangerous Nan McGrew (1930)-usually serving as a girlfriend to studio star Bimbo. Betty Boop appeared as a supporting character in ten cartoons as a flapper girl with more heart than brains. Clara Bow is often given credit as being the inspiration for Boop, though Fleischer told his artists that he wanted a caricature of singer Helen Kane, who performed in a style shared by many performers of the day–Kane was also the one who sued Fleischer over the signature "Boop Oop a Doop" line. Inspired by a popular performing style, but not by any one specific person, the character was originally created as an anthropomorphic French poodle. Although she was toned down in the mid-1930s as a result of the Hays Code to appear more demure, Betty Boop became one of the best-known and popular cartoon characters in the world.īetty Boop made her first appearance in the cartoon Dizzy Dishes, released on August 9, 1930, the seventh installment in Fleischer's Talkartoon series. She has also been featured in comic strips and mass merchandising.Ī caricature of a Jazz Age flapper, Betty Boop was described in a 1934 court case as "combin in appearance the childish with the sophisticated-a large round baby face with big eyes and a nose like a button, framed in a somewhat careful coiffure, with a very small body of which perhaps the leading characteristic is the most self-confident little bust imaginable". She was featured in 90 theatrical cartoons between 19. She originally appeared in the Talkartoon and Betty Boop film series, which were produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures. ![]() Cindy Robinson (2009–present, official commercials) īetty Boop is an animated cartoon character created by Max Fleischer, with help from animators including Grim Natwick. ![]() You can use this feature when posting a certain image or video on your Social Media and your phone automatically locates and tags your whereabouts.
