I am also not impressed by the intensity of the movie's brightness particularly on the background in some scorching white scenes. When it comes to flaws, albeit its powerful opening scene, I feel that they waste many of the potential characters here insofar some of them never even got the chance to show their abilities, skills, talents or superpowers. This is how DC films should be, not as dour as Zack Snyder's but not as light as Marvel's either. It's superbly gory, darkly comical and unabashedly funny, all without pulling its punches. The Rated-R is straight up hardcore to the face. The only couple of things that 2016 did it better were the trailers and the soundtrack. The 2021 entry has a strong direction and far better pacing, let alone twists that are fully captivating. While 2016 has its moments, almost everyone could agree it was disappointingly bland af. The juxtaposition of both the 2016's and 2021's is evidently visible. Like Deadpool, something unexpected happens at the moment when you least expect it. There are a few times that Gunn uses the head fake technique to deceive viewers from its sequential but engaging storytelling. You never know what will come next, who will die or survive. Talking about unpredictability, it indeed is what it is. From the get-go, Gunn's vision is unconventional but polished, enough to make the audience feels they have never seen anything like it before. Hence, Gunn develops a non-formulaic approach that seems suicidal at first but triumphantly creates something unique and unpredictable. James Gunn, who also directed Guardians of the Galaxy, knew that the Marvel/DC films have rehashed their materials multiple times basic origin, romance, giving up, final battle. It's like you're watching a bunch of genres comedy, dark comedy, fantasy, action, thriller, drama, superhero, spoof and commentaries political, social contexts, world revolving issues all together and yet, it tastes très bon! Often enough, movies that try to do everything together fail big time but not this one. 2021's The Suicide Squad is indeed, THE Suicide Squad that we all deserve! The most outstanding thing about this latest squad is the way they blend and mix in everything into the recipe. Booked him for a slot of this movie and months later, he was reemployed by the giant-sized company for GOTG 3 and he just killed two heroes with one stone.

Michael Jackson’s character is pretty sure of himself and confident he can win her over, but they go to a club where the managers want her also and seem to think they have a right to her, and they try to keep him away from her. So this woman – possibly representing their audience – has more than one performer competing for her attention, just as entertainers often seem to compete for an audience and market share. Importantly, another character played by Chris Tucker – a popular entertainer in his own right – is also attracted to her. The plot has his character trying to woo a young woman, and as we’ve talked about a number of times in previous posts, these love interests often seem to represent his audience. Willa: And you can really feel a lot of those intense emotions in this video. And I just remember thinking, ‘Wow, I bet he’s pissed!’ And maybe that very issue was one of the bones of contention between him and Sony at the time.īut, I remember getting the phone call from the MJFC president back in 2001 when all of this was happening and her telling me that the video Michael wanted to make had to be scrapped because of friction with Sony and Michael was now scrambling to make a video for “You Rock My World” and it had to be completed in a very short amount of time and he was “less than happy” about the situation. One would think that an artist of Michael’s caliber would have complete autonomy and control over how a project would unfold. He already had the video concept worked out and everything so, when Sony made the decision to release “You Rock My World” instead of “Unbreakable,” I know he probably felt extreme anger and frustration. As you mentioned last month, he really wanted to make a video for “Unbreakable.” This is also the song he wanted to be the lead single from the album, not to mention the title of the the album itself. As you know, You Rock My World was not the video he originally wanted to make. I’m sure Michael was feeling very “frustrated and powerless and angry” by that point. And I think the reasons for that are really clear. Like you can actually feel the tension beneath the surface as you watch it. The whole video just feels a little bit raw to me. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it makes me uncomfortable but, I do come away from it feeling very on edge. I have always had a similar reaction to this one. Joie: Well, I understand completely about the video making you uncomfortable. I watch it and just feel frustrated and powerless and angry, and not even sure who I’m mad at. You Rock My World is completely different. I watch it and come away feeling empowered and inspired and ready to take on the world. But Black or White expresses a righteous anger. But Black or White is angry also, and I love Black or White. It’s very angry, for one thing – one of his angriest. To be honest, this video has always made me really uncomfortable. To be honest, I never knew much about those battles or paid much attention to them, but focusing on Invincible for a month forced me to really think about what he must have been going through then, and that’s led me to look at the You Rock My World video in a whole new way. Artists who have covered songs from The Jackson 5 career are not included.Willa: So Joie, in October we spent the entire month taking a close look at the Invincible album, including some of the battles Michael Jackson had with Sony during its production and promotion. These covers are in several different languages and genres, and some have received positive reviews from music critics and featured on record charts. Many notable artists began covering his songs since his debut in the early 1970s. This is a list of cover versions by notable music artists who have recorded one or more songs written and recorded by American singer, songwriter and dancer Michael Jackson. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.

On January 24, 2020, Illinois health officials announced the first confirmed case the novel coronavirus infection in the state of Illinois, also the second confirmed case in the United States. 49% of the population has been fully vaccinated. Īs of May 26, 2021, Illinois has administered 11,049,665 COVID-19 vaccine doses. As of January 2021, Illinois has the fifth highest number of confirmed cases in the United States. This crisis has spurred calls for Governor Pritzker to respond to the pandemic more aggressively. ĭuring December 2020, Illinois experienced the second highest number of deaths per week, ranking fifth per capita. At first declared between March 21 and April 7, the order was later extended until April 30, then May 29. As the virus spread further, the state enacted an even stronger shelter in place order, affecting schools and businesses across the state. The state took measures to halt the spread of the disease by closing all schools and colleges, ordering a stop to eviction enforcements, ordering all bars and restaurants closed to sit-in diners, and otherwise restricting large gatherings of people. Pritzker issued a disaster proclamation, the state's equivalent of a state of emergency, to respond to the crisis. In mid-March, as the number of known cases rose into the double digits, Governor J.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic began in the U.S. There are so many aspects of Kill Me Heal Me that make the drama so good as a whole. Shin Se Gi, Cha Do Hyun’s most beloved personality. There’s something in Kill Me Heal Me for everyone. There’s a bit of everything in this drama-obviously drama and romance (though love isn’t exactly the main focus don’t be fooled by the image above haha), but also mystery, comedy, and even a little action. I highly recommend Kill Me Heal Me to anyone who enjoys psychological dramas, romantic comedies, or just K-dramas in general. As his seven personalities disrupt and cause disorder in his life, Do Hyun enlists the help of psychiatrist Oh Ri Jin, played by Hwang Jung Eum, hiring her as his personal physician in an effort to cure his disorder. Do Hyun, played by Ji Sung, was living in America to avoid letting his family know about his mental state, but an incident takes him back to Korea, where he is forced to confront his traumatic past and face the responsibilities he has to fulfill as an heir. Kill Me Heal Me is a 20-episode K-drama about Cha Do Hyun, the wealthy inheritor of a family corporation, and his struggle with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), better known as Multiple Personality Disorder. I’ll dive right into the general review, and then I’ll get into all the juicy stuff in the spoiler section! Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum, who play the leads. I don’t quite remember why I chose to commit to watching Kill Me Heal Me (I think something about Park Seo Joon?), but I have absolutely no regrets in choosing this heartfelt drama. Both dramas were wonderful ( Page Turner was so beautiful and heart-warming Ji Soo is amazing), but they were dramas I chose to casually watch because of their brevity. I picked up Kill Me Heal Me after all the craziness of college applications season, and I watched the drama over a span of about three months (I know, I’m slow). I say Kill Me Heal Me is the first real k-drama I watched because the only other k-dramas I’ve watched before are Choco Bank and Page Turner, series with only 6 episodes and 3 episodes, respectively. For means of closure, I’m getting all the feels out in this review. Book Review Thoughts: Wish You Were Italian by Kri.Hello friends! I haven’t posted in over a year, but… I recently finished watching my first ~real~ k-drama, Kill Me Heal Me. And it killed me.Currently: Feeling the Calm before the Storm. Here's the most awesome theme song along with more clips from the show:Īnd for those of you who know this guy from She Was Pretty where he acted like he was a terrible singer, see for yourself how he was faking it big time! Here he is singing another song from this drama: Here's a tiny little trailer that introduces you to all the personalities: I have no words.Īnd now I'm in a drama funk and think that there's nothing that can compare to these two. I was sobbing through many scenes toward the end. how he can get you to be so so sympathetic to him so so fast. and his "bad" side (among many others) and that bad dude. oh my goodness! He can jump from personality to personality with this most amazing acting ability that is just something you have to see. let's talk about the main dude in this one. Park Seo Joon is perfect in this one as the loving big brother.īut. I loved him completely! He is ten times cuter in this drama than he is in She Was Pretty! How can that be?) (In fact, his character reminded quite a lot of Siwon's character in She Was Pretty. She is a lot the same, but he plays a character that's completely different from She Was Pretty. If you've seen She Was Pretty, this one stars the same girl and the same guy, but in this drama they are brother and sister, so that's a little weird at first. And yet, with this guy having to act out several personalities, there's a lot of moments of some very funny stuff and comedy. The subject matter of this one is pretty intense and sad and traumatic. I mean of course they do! Ah, it's the best! His memories he has been suppressing come back and whoa, they aren't quite what he expected!!!Īnd of course, in the process, they fall madly in love. Together, they investigate his past and before long, all is revealed. He hires this new doctor to help him get a rein on these personalities. This one is about a guy who is suffering multiple personality disorder. But first, we watched Healer and I thought nothing could compare to that one, and anyway, when it was over and I needed something to watch next, she convinced me this one was it.Īnd let me just say, it came close to or even maybe surpassed the intensity and drama that was Healer! Whoa, two in a row that good? This stuff is crazy! So my sister Megs has been begging me all summer to watch this one.

As YouTube faces continued competition from TikTok, the company reported that ads on the platform made $7.67bn, up from $7.34bn the year before.ĭespite this, Alphabet’s recovery from a rough few quarters has been “uneven”, said Evelyn Mitchell-Wolf, an analyst at market research firm Insider Intelligence, including a tenuous improvement in advertising. The sunnier forecast comes after the company cut more than 12,000 jobs, or 6% of its global workforce, in January.Īlphabet reported growth across several sectors, stating that its ad revenue had risen 3.3% to $58.14bn from $56.29bn last year. This is the second earnings report from Alphabet that offered signs of potential recovery after a difficult year for the company – its first-quarter earnings reported in April showed an unexpected increase in revenue. But as they retreat from Twitter – now renamed “X” – and other more volatile platforms, companies like Alphabet and Facebook-owner Meta Platforms are seeing a rebound. “Our continued leadership in AI and our excellence in engineering and innovation are driving the next evolution of Search and improving all our services.”Īdvertisers had pulled back spending in recent years amid economic woes. “There’s exciting momentum across our products and the company, which drove strong results this quarter,” said Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet and Google, in a statement. That growth is attributed in part to steady demand for Google Cloud services, which is expected to continue to climb as adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools grows. Revenue for the quarter stood at $74.6bn, compared with estimates of $72.82bn, according to Refinitiv data. The company reported net profits of $1.44 a share for the April-June period, compared with estimates of $1.34 a share. We have separate Hue and Saturation sliders for each of the three primary colors of light (red, green and blue) as well as a Tint slider for adjusting shadows. Most people will never have a use for the main purpose of the Camera Calibration panel, which is to give us a way to compensate for problems in the way our camera captures color. Nothing we do while in Camera Raw is permanent, so we can make as many changes as we want to our image with no loss of image quality: To switch back to the full color version of your image, simply uncheck the Convert to Grayscale option. Dragging a color slider to the left will darken any areas that originally contained that color, while dragging the slider to the right will lighten those same areas. Also, if we select the Convert to Grayscale option at the top, we can use the same color sliders to create highly customized black and white versions of our color images, just like we can using Photoshop's Black & White adjustment. From here, we can make adjustments to the hue, saturation and/or luminance (brightness) of individual colors in the image using the eight color sliders (click on the Hue, Saturation or Luminance tabs above the sliders to change what it is the sliders are affecting). Next up as we move through the panels from left to right is the HSL / Grayscale panel. I already have Photoshop CS6 open on my screen, so to access Adobe Bridge, I'll go up to the File menu in Photoshop's Menu Bar and choose Browse in Bridge: To open Camera Raw, we first need to select an image, either a raw file, JPEG or TIFF, and the best way to do that is with Adobe Bridge. I'll be covering these new features in separate tutorials but for this tutorial, we're going to look specifically at the version of Camera Raw 8 that's available with Photoshop CS6. If you want the brand new features in Camera Raw 8, you'll need to upgrade to Photoshop CC by subscribing to the Adobe Creative Cloud. So, that's just something to keep in mind. Also, Photoshop CS6 itself is missing the new Camera Raw filter that's been added to Photoshop CC. While that's great, the CS6 version of Camera Raw 8 is missing the new features available exclusively to Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) subscribers, like the new Radial Filter, the improved Spot Healing brush, and the new Upright options for easy perspective correction. The version of Camera Raw 8 that Adobe has made available to Photoshop CS6 users is mainly to fix various bugs from Camera Raw 7 and make Camera Raw compatible with both high resolution displays and the latest digital cameras and lenses. However (and this is a big "however"), there's a catch. To view all of the updates available in Photoshop, go to Help > Updates. This will open the Adobe Application Manager where you can view, select and download all the updates currently available, including updates for Camera Raw: If you're using Photoshop CS6 and haven't yet updated to Camera Raw 8, you can do so by going up to the Help menu (in Photoshop) in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen and choosing Updates from the list. Photoshop CS6 originally shipped with Camera Raw 7, but Adobe has released a free update for CS6 users to the new Camera Raw 8 (or more specifically, 8.1 at the time I'm writing this). Once we're familiar with Camera Raw's interface, we can then begin looking in much more detail at how to process, correct and retouch our images as we'll do in the next tutorials.ĭownload this tutorial as a print-ready PDF! Updating Photoshop CS6 To Camera Raw 8 In this tutorial for Photoshop CS6 users, we'll take a tour of the Camera Raw interface and learn where all of the various tools, panels and other features are located, so you can begin processing your raw, JPEG or even TIFF images in Adobe Camera Raw with all of the simplicity, freedom and flexibility it offers.
(NOTE: For obvious reasons, web animation by independent animators will not be listed here because it’s a given that it will be produced by whatever country the creator lives in. It's also standard for cartoons occupying a 15-minute timeslot. In particular, this is the norm for Stop Motion animation since it's impractical (if not outright impossible) and pointless to ship physical sets and figures overseas (a notable exception being Rankin/Bass). foreign animation depends a lot on the medium: traditional, domestic animation for TV has been unheard of (if not nonexistent) for decades, but animation in newer mediums such as CGI, Flash, and Harmony is outsourced far less frequently. Nevertheless, domestic-only productions still exist, even if they’re less frequent than they used to be. Even anime does it nowadays, sending most of their productions to Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia for inbetweening, backgrounds or CG. This practice used to be standard in the days of theatrical animation, but lower budgets brought about by television forced productions to cut quality, and later outsource their cartoons to overseas studios where the cost of labor is cheaper.

So when you pay for Salesforce, you’re actually paying for their sales and marketing machine (and not the software development). Basically, all CRM providers have the same features – the only difference is how they present them. If paying $150/user/month sounds too much, try SuiteCRM. But, they all are shamelessly expensive (after all, they’re created by the sales team for sales teams). There’s also Pipedrive, which is geared to small-medium businesses. Salesforce and MS Dynamics are the most well-known CRM enterprise solutions. Later, you can run time reports and manage projects in Clockify.
