The Future Of Dance, Or Maybe Of Workouts: A Virtual Reality Dance Film?
That’s right, with virtual reality, the watcher can move along with the dancers – or just enjoy experiencing more of the dancers’ full dimensionality.

Daliah Lavi, Israeli Actress Who Was A Star Of ‘Lord Jim’ And ‘Casino Royale,’ Has Died At 74
This woman was seriously talented – “Ms. Lavi, who spoke several languages, became an actress as a teenager while studying ballet in Sweden. Her first movie was a 1955 Swedish adaptation of August Strindberg’s novel ‘The People of Hemso.'” – so of course she ended up “accepting a new career path as scantily clad femmes fatales in a number of parodies that sprung up after the initial success of the James Bond films.”

So, is Harvey to blame? “For decades, Weinstein bestrode the Oscars like a colossus, pulling off coup after coup (pushing Shakespeare in Love to a best-picture victory over Saving Private Ryan; winning two in a row with The King’s Speech and The Artist). He held sway over a stable of actors: ‘Working for Harvey is like working for the mafia,’ Gwyneth Paltrow once told me, laughing. ‘There are all these favours.’ Pop-culture fare such as Entourage referred to him by first name alone.”
How Stars Are Born (Sometimes Literally, Into Star Families) In Bollywood
Or at least that’s some of how it used to be. And Bollywood’s PR machinery, as in all of the film industry, worked overtime to support those stars. But things are changing. “Today, we are in the middle of a major transition. One of the great allures of stars, the reason for their success, is their mystery. One person among millions gets to make their dreams come true. … But today, anyone can be a star, truly. You can be an Instagram star, a Twitter star, a Youtube star, a Pinterest star, whatever! Put in enough work, be smart about it, and, in today’s world, you could easily be a star.”

Anti-Fracking Group Buys Tickets, Blows Whistles, And Distribute Fliers To Protest The Boulder Chamber Orchestra’s Funders
Responses from the company, who were putting on a concert sponsored by Extraction Oil and Gas, were pretty much like “look, taking money from private funders is the only way we get to do music; please deal with it.” The protest group did not blow their whistles during the performance, “but the whistle-blowing prompted a response from University of Colorado police, who stayed through the second movement of [Beethoven’s Ninth] symphony.”
Five Lies Hollywood Tells Itself, And The Ways Those Lies Are Starting To Unravel
Among the tired tropes of backchannel Hollywood is that diversity doesn’t sell overseas and that women can’t open comedies (or anything, really). And then, of course: “It’s a mystery why Hollywood won’t cater more to baby boomers, especially given the success of the two ‘Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ films, which had seasoned casts and a combined $222 million in sales.”
