@ViewFromShikhar Shape and shadow… and the light

What’s one photography habit you picked up naturally over time? Mine was constantly observing light, even without a camera.

@OrevaZSN Oh me too… ah, we have Montgomery Field back for his check up….

I love when the vet writes my cat's full name with my last name, like Yes, that is my legal child.

@HGACinema Thank you 🙏

Hi Cate. Here's a breakdown of the Brides and the Brothers: BRIDES Milly: Jane Powell channelled her experiences growing up in Oregon to create Milly. She and Howard Keel would later reprise their roles in a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers stage adaptation. Powell also appeared in dancing and singing roles in many other musical films, including Royal Wedding, Rich, Young and Pretty and A Date with Judy. In the film, Milly marries Adam. Dorcas Gaylen: Julie Newmar (Newmeyer), wore a purple dress in the barn raising scene. Dorcas is one of the more confident girls, and has stated that she always wanted to be a June bride and have a baby right away. She is also the only girl shown to have a sibling, a younger sister. A classically trained ballerina, Newmar would later rise to fame as Catwoman in the 1960s TV version of Batman. She also won a Supporting Actress Tony Award for The Marriage-Go-Round (starring Claudette Colbert). She appeared on her neighbour James Belushi's sitcom According to Jim after the two settled a highly publicised lawsuit. Her singing voice for the film was dubbed by Betty Allen. Dorcas marries Benjamin. Ruth Jepson: Ruta Lee (Kilmonis) enjoyed a long stage and television career, appearing in dozens of films and TV series, working with Lucille Ball, Sammy Davis Jr., Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, and Frank Sinatra. Lee appeared in the sitcom Roseanne as the first girlfriend of Roseanne's mother. Her singing parts for the film were dubbed in post-production by Betty Noyes. She is wearing a blue dress in the barn raising scene, and is shown to like baking pies. Ruth marries Caleb. Martha: Norma Doggett performed in the 1940s-50s Broadway shows Bells Are Ringing, Fanny, Wish You Were Here, Miss Liberty, and Magdalena. Her singing voice for the film was dubbed by Bobbie Canvin. She wears a green dress during the barn raising scene. Martha marries Daniel. Liza: Virginia Gibson was nominated for a Tony Award in 1957 and performed regularly, as singer and dancer, on the Johnny Carson show. She wears a pink checkered dress during the barn raising scene. Liza marries Ephraim. Sarah Kine: Betty Carr was also a Broadway veteran, dancing in Damn Yankees, Happy Hunting, Mask and Gown, and Fanny (alongside Norma Doggett). Her singing voice for the film was dubbed by Norma Zimmer. She wears a yellow dress during the barn raising. Sarah marries Frank. Alice Elcott: Nancy Kilgas made her film debut in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The youngest of the girls in the story, Alice is especially close to Milly and wears a peach coloured dress in the barn raising scene. Her father is the town reverend. Gideon falls in love with her at first sight. Kilgas danced in the film versions of Oklahoma!, Shake, Rattle & Rock!, and Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain. Her singing voice for the film was dubbed by Marie Greene. Alice marries Gideon. BROTHERS Adam (light green shirt): Howard Keel, a professional singer, appeared as the eldest of the seven brothers. He also appeared as Petruchio in the film version of Kiss Me Kate, and appeared in leading roles in other musical films including Calamity Jane, Rose Marie and Show Boat. Benjamin (orange shirt): Jeff Richards was a former professional baseball player who topped out at the AAA level of the minor leagues. Although obviously athletic, he is noticeably in the background, seated, or standing during the dance numbers so as to not expose his lesser dancing skills. This often relegated his partner, the classically trained ballet dancer Julie Newmar, to the background as well. Caleb (yellow shirt): Matt Mattox, a professional dancer, appeared on stage on Broadway and also danced in many Hollywood musical films. His singing voice for the film was dubbed by Bill Lee. Daniel (mauve shirt): Marc Platt, a professional dancer, danced the role of Chalmers / Dream Curly in the original 1943 Broadway production of Oklahoma!. He also had a dancing/speaking role in the 1955 film version of Oklahoma!, as Curly's friend who buys his saddle at the auction and complains about Ado Annie's pie. Ephraim (dark green shirt): Jacques d'Amboise, a principal dancer with New York City Ballet, was given special leave for the filming of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (although he was recalled before filming was completed). He also danced in other musical films, including the ballet role of the Starlight Carnival “barker” in the film Carousel (in which he partnered Susan Luckey in Louise's ballet). D'Amboise's work as a dance teacher for children was featured in the documentary film He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin', which won an Academy Award and Tony Award. Frank (red shirt): Tommy Rall, a professional dancer and singer, appeared on stage on Broadway and in many musical films. His roles included Bill Calhoun (Lucentio) in the film version of Kiss Me Kate, and one of the Gallini brothers in the film Merry Andrew (in which he was one of the three featured acrobatic dancers in the circus engagement scene—Rall is the dancer in the centre wearing the red shirt). He appeared in the film Funny Girl, as the Prince who partnered Barbra Streisand in a parody of the ballet Swan Lake. Gideon (blue shirt): Russ Tamblyn was cast in the role of youngest brother Gideon. Tamblyn showcased his gymnastics training throughout the action sequences. He also had a starring role in the musical West Side Story as Riff. As of 2021, following d'Amboise's death, Tamblyn is the last surviving actor who played a brother.

The town barn-raising event in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), described by film critic Stephanie Zacharek as “one of the most rousing dance numbers ever put on screen.” To perform the dance numbers and action sequences, choreographer Michael Kidd wanted dancers to portray all six of Adam Pontipee's brothers. Kidd said that he “had to find a way to have these backwoods men dance without looking ridiculous. I had to base it all around activities you would accept from such people—it couldn't look like ballet. And it could only have been done by superbly trained dancers.” However, he was able to integrate into the cast two non-dancer MGM contract players who were assigned to the film, Jeff Richards, who performed just the simpler dance numbers, and Russ Tamblyn, using him in the dance numbers by exploiting his talents as a gymnast and tumbler. The other four brothers were portrayed by professional dancers—Matt Mattox, Marc Platt, Tommy Rall, and Jacques d'Amboise. All four balanced on a beam together during the barn-raising dance. Professional dancers played all seven of the brides. The four girls whom Adam sees in the Bixby store when he first goes into town are Dorcas, Ruth, Liza and Sarah.

@CriterioCero Definitely more powerful when they are clothed….

🎧 Casino Royale, 2006 ▶️ go.ivoox.com/rf/167340319 En el guion original de la famosa escena de la ducha, tras la traumática pelea en las escaleras del casino, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) iba a quedarse completamente desnuda antes de que Bond entrara a consolarla. Daniel Craig vio claro que eso rompía por completo la carga emocional del momento. Le parecía un cliché innecesario que restaba realismo al shock psicológico que sufría Vesper. Fue el propio Craig quien sugirió cambiarlo todo: él entraría con su esmoquin y ella se quedaría con el vestido puesto. Al sentarse juntos bajo el agua, completamente empapados y vestidos, la escena pasó de ser un momento erótico gratuito a convertirse en uno de los instantes más íntimos, vulnerables y memorables de toda la saga de 007. ✨ 🧠 Dato extra: Martin Campbell, el director, confesó años después que rodaron la escena en muy pocas tomas porque la química y la tristeza que transmitían los actores con la ropa puesta era simplemente perfecta. ¿Qué te parece este cambio? ¿Crees que Craig tuvo razón? ¡Te leo! 👇 #CasinoRoyale #DanielCraig #EvaGreen #JamesBond #007 #CuriosidadesDeCine #DetrasDeCamaras #Cinefilos #EspecialistasEnCine #InstaCine

The more they insult me, the more they troll me, the more they tell me I'm ugly and the more they tell me to shut up talking about PERIODS openly the louder I speak

@KemiBadenoch @thames_pilgrim Please Kemi, do something about the judges who deliver these judgments. I feel they are really out of touch…

I have been sickened all day by the news of three boys who lured two schoolgirls, raped them, and filmed it on their phones while they laughed and egged each other on. When they finally stood before a judge this week, they were handed “rehabilitation orders” and walked out without serving a single day behind bars. Not in prison, not in custody or a young offender institution. The judge said, “None of you need to go to prison”. What message does that send to rapists? The crime could hardly be graver, yet the punishment was no punishment at all. It’s the collapse of consequences and the rot runs right through the justice system. And this is only going to get worse because Labour are choosing to go soft on criminals: ❌ They have abolished short prison sentences. ❌ They have let tens of thousands of criminals out early. ❌ And now they want to raise the age of criminal responsibility, so that even MORE young offenders escape any consequence at all. My position is common sense👇 PRISON WORKS. ✅It punishes those who do wrong, it keeps dangerous people off our streets and away from our children. ✅It tells every victim that the law is on their side. A country that forgets this is a country where schoolgirls are raped and filmed for sport, and the boys who did it get to go home. Conservatives stand against it and our policies on sentencing and prison are the ones that will deliver a stronger country.

@nomcebo_mkhali We love you 🥰🙏

I often wonder how many of you think I am doing the right thing? Please leave a comment if you see this

@nicolelampert @SeeRedWoman1 Fabulous… 🥰🎉🎶❤️

I’m so up for all this Arsenal madness. At a time when the world is so angry and divided, sport does have this magic power to bring people together and bring a smile onto people’s faces. Looking forward to the World Cup - let’s hope we (fellow English peeps, at least) can all celebrate with the England team.

@knowncougar I’ve worked as a specialist teacher with young people with autism and ADHD for more than 20 years… this is not an excuse or reasonable defence. This judgement is perplexing and horrifying. Justice for those girls is paramount

imagine you’re raped at knifepoint and your rapist gets praised for good trial behaviour & you get told “he just had ADHD and low IQ🥺”

@JamesLucasIT It is truly remarkable… and we need to take time to really see its magnificence

At first glance, it just looks like a stunning painting. Then you step back and realize you’re looking at one of the most impossibly detailed works of art you’ve ever seen... Around 1620, in Antwerp, an unnamed Flemish painter set out to gather the city’s most famous artworks into a single piece, but what he ultimately chose to do with it will never cease to amaze me. Now held at the National Gallery in London, this painting is called Cognoscenti in a Room hung with Pictures, and it is, technically speaking, one of the most vertiginous acts of illusionism in the Western canon. Eleven richly dressed men — artists, dealers, collectors, the cognoscenti of the title — move through a vast imagined gallery, discussing and inspecting its contents. But the figures are almost beside the point. What stops you are the walls. From floor to ceiling, they are covered with meticulous miniature copies of real works by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century masters, mostly from Antwerp, assembled as an ideal gathering of the finest things the city had to offer. Paintings within a painting. A museum compressed into a canvas. This is what scholars call a Kunstkammer, or "cabinet of curiosities", and the genre carried real social weight. To collect art in the Dutch and Flemish Golden Age was a declaration, not merely a pleasure. The cognoscenti shown here are pretentious by design: richly dressed, surrounded by coins, medals, and Persian rugs. Every object is a signal of wealth. And then — almost invisible, sitting on the windowsill at the edge of the composition — there is the monkey. The picture celebrates the pleasures of collecting and the erudition of art appreciation. But the monkey, a traditional symbol of the foolishness of human endeavors, sits there as a reminder of the frivolity and ultimate futility of buying expensive things. He is mocking them... these men so devoted to hoarding precious objects, when perhaps their hours might have been spent on something less perishable. It is one of the most elegant acts of subversion in art history: a painter who spent months lovingly reproducing the work of other painters, in obsessive miniature detail, and then placed a fool's emblem in the corner to ask whether any of it matters... It is simultaneously a love letter to art and an indictment of what happens when love turns into possession. The cognoscenti in the room are not wrong to find beauty worth pursuing, but they have perhaps confused the pursuit with the trophy. Four hundred years later, the monkey is still watching and the question it asks has not changed: are you here for the beauty, or for the proof that the beauty is yours? -- -- -- I wrote about this and 5 other impossible masterpieces in today's article.

@TodayinHistory Truly magnificent… we need to take time to stop, admire, wonder and be amazed.

Four years of pure dedication from Michelangelo gave us this breathtaking masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel!
