another thing that pissed me off today was reading letterboxd reviews of the substance by men saying it was too on the nose basically like it hits you over the head with the “shallow, overdone” theme of beauty standards for women in the entertainment industry or whatever and it “doesn’t have anything else to say” (i was under the impression that that WAS the premise of the film??? what more do you want it to say). one guy was like this movie ignores the body positivity movement and the great strides we’ve made as a culture etc etc like shut the fuck up!!!!! shut up!!!!!! apparently you haven’t noticed that we are actively regressing in terms of the body positivity/body neutrality/anti diet culture movements.“beauty” and makeup culture, diet culture, plastic surgery, and other trends and social mores that dictate women’s appearances are extremely ingrained in our pop culture consciousness rn. marketers might use different terms to disguise what they’re doing like the bastardized “choice feminism” but it’s just the same shit repackaged and we’ve barely made any progress. if you think we’re past the point where “beauty standards are bad” is a useful message in a film, you are wrong!!!!! i haven’t even seen this movie yet, i was trying to decide if i wanted to go see this movie, and that attitude just rubs me the wrong way. it’s like trying to find an excuse why people don’t want movies with overtly feminist themes — is it “too on the nose” and unnecessary or do you just not want there to be movies with overtly feminist themes

Budapest. Hungary. June 2024

At Berlin airport, it was surprising that they ask you to put photographic film out of your luggage. As it turned out, it was to avoid spoiling them. They must have gotten new super powerful scanners. I can only thank them for taking care of my films, which were scanned with another machine.

Yes, I'm traveling alone again. This does not embarrass me at all, but only emphasizes my freedom and independence to act.

On the first day, of course, I climbed the nearest hill and from there I successfully hid in the national gallery from the scorching sun. For me, a person who thinks in terms of history and culture, nothing says more about the place where I am than the National Gallery. And in Budapest, it's really good! Compared to the quality of the works of the Verger artists, Berlin loses the pomp of the Kaiser's time or the greenishness of 1920. In the National Gallery of Budapest I found very many truly high works in their own right. But there was also something in it that made me think. As soon as the art of the Romantics is replaced by Impressionism as a trend of visualization, the paintings begin to painfully resemble copies of the French masters. This surprised me so much. The quality is of course superb and I have sometimes caught myself thinking that the Hungarians do it even better. And so it went on in cubism and in the avant-garde. It got to the point of absurdity that I saw a painting that was 100% painted by Gerhard Richter. But no, it was some obscure Hungarian artist again.

At first I wondered, where is the Hungarian originality missing? Or is it all a logical consequence of cultural influences. Or is it all about the curator of the gallery trying to conform to the trends of the market? Everything in me suspects that the latter assumption is true. Especially if we rely on the latest critique of contemporary consumer society as described in Oliver Roy's book "The Crisis of Culture".

On the second day, I discovered that I am a bad tourist. In the sense that it's not easy for me to sell anything. In the part of the city of Pest that is on the left side of the Danube River, there are the very streets that horrify me, filled with fat tourists, expensive cafes with disgusting coffee and all the clothing stores that are probably the same all over Europe. Strangely, I can't bring myself to interact with reality in such places. I find that I will avoid these streets in the future and will consider the day I stepped into them a tourist mistake.

I was fascinated by the city's trams. They make you want to keep up with them. Of all the films that were shot in Budapest (12 pieces of 12 frames each), at least two were spent on trams. As it turned out, streetcars are the most popular transportation in Budapest. Their intervals are sometimes as long as 60 seconds due to the incredible congestion during rush hours.

The castle on Buda Mountain with its incredible beauty of architecture right next to the ugly plastic and impersonal building of the Redison Hotel made me smile. What an absurd world we live in.

I love it when a city has so many hills. Perhaps because I was born in a hilly city, I feel alive making an incredible effort in the thirty-degree heat to climb one more hill. It's a pity Berlin is so flat.

As a bad tourist, I found all the areas where there are no tourists, where you can see how ordinary people live, and therefore how things really are.

On the last day I received a message that my flight was cancelled. So I was stuck for 3 hours in a history museum trying to get a seat on another plane and book a room for the night. The museum was useful, even if the guard looked at me with suspicion. I was a little worried that my credit card wasn't working. But everything worked out, and after I transported my luggage to the new location, I went to Mount St. Galert. The sky was very beautiful even after, Friday evening in Budapest. It's so unforgettable. That evening I fell in love with Budapest and threw a coin into the Danube as a sign or desire to return again. I didn’t regret at all that my plane was cancelled at all.

'Barbenheimer, the cultural phenomenon that crossed the streams between the theatrical releases of Barbie and Oppenheimer, continues to dominate the news cycle. While the internet has buzzed about Barbenheimer for quite some time, the reality of this mythic double feature has been exciting to behold on a personal level.

Though the box office results have been impressive, there may still be a bunch of you readers who haven’t gotten onto the Barbenheimer bandwagon. It’s understandable, but should you have any reservations about why you should jump into the Barbenheimer experience, I’ve got you covered. Avoiding spoilers, here’s a list of reasons why it’s never too late to get in on this pop-culture trend.

Barbenheimer Tickets (and Better Seats) Probably Are Easier To Find Now

It’s true that opening weekend was a surprising smash for Barbenheimer. If you hadn’t secured tickets early enough, chances are you missed out on the fun of Barbie and Oppenheimer running back to back. That likelihood is even greater if you’ve been trying to track down Christopher Nolan’s historical epic in its preferred IMAX 70mm format.

No matter how you enjoy these pictures in the wild, the next couple of weeks are definitely going to be crazy when trying to buy into Barbenheimer. Don’t give up though, because if you get to partake in this joyful occasion, it’s going to pay off in several other ways.

The Audience For Both Movies Makes For A Unique People-Watching Experience

Photos of people dressed for both Barbie and Oppenheimer have been so much fun to observe. Whether it’s someone decked out in their best pink ensemble, a dour black suit and hat, or a t-shirt combining the two in a satisfying mashup, people have been showing up in style for this monumental draw.

Now you may prefer one half over the other, as we saw with our own Erik Swann’s first hand account of the Barbenheimer experience. However, you’re not going to know until you actually take the ride for yourself. Also, even if you end up disliking or liking these movies on equal levels, being a part of this real world experience is a hell of a way to celebrate the movie theater experience.

Theatrical Double Features Like This Aren’t Very Common

The “double feature” isn’t a new experience, as it harkens back to the classic days of cinema. It’s as ingrained in the DNA of moviegoing as cartoon shorts, newsreels, and popcorn; and surviving drive-ins still do it. At your regular multiplex however, it’s a more manually driven experience, save for catch-up marathons that might play to promote newer movies.

As such, the box office tends to compete movie versus movie with the ticket buying public; as seen in the recently examined history of iconic movies that premiered on the same date. And yet, Barbie and Oppenheimer cracked that pattern by becoming a long standing meme. Sure, people started to joke about Barbenheimer long before it even had a name, but people committed to the bit eventually. Which, when you look at both movies, isn’t as crazy as you’d think.

Soundtracks Such As These Need To Be Heard In A Theater

Primarily we “watch” movies, so the visual aspect is something that clearly gets a lot of attention when marketing a film. Moving past that layer and appreciating things like costume design, performance, and even the music of a movie is something that more intense movie fans tend to focus on, in addition to said visuals. And if you're a music fan, both Barbie and Oppenheimer have reasons you should be excited to get to a local theater.

On one hand, the Barbie soundtrack is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the artists featured. Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and an Ice Spice/Nicki Minaj collab are just some of the highlights one can expect from that fantastic plastic world. However, if you needed one song to convince you to see this movie in theaters, it’s Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night.” It’s been in all the trailers, so you don’t need to listen to it again. Just trust me when I say that it sounds perfect in theatrical surround sound.

Flipping to the other side of this coin, Ludwig Göransson’s score to Oppenheimer captures everything from unholy dread to scientific awe. It propels an already gorgeous movie to greater heights, and certainly hammers the important parts into the film with the right gravity. So if you're looking for two movies that might make driving home a bit more exciting, look no further than this pair of soundtracks.

Barbenheimer Is A Supporting Performance Powerhouse (That The Oscars Should Reward)

One of the big similarities between both Barbie and Oppenheimer is the fact that audiences can’t stop talking about key supporting performances from both. With Barbie, Ryan Gosling’s Ken was a shoo-in to steal the spotlight, and he definitely lives up to those expectations.

Though the even more impressive scene stealer is America Ferrera, whose monologue about being a woman in the modern world has already captivated audiences in the post-release discourse. On that same wavelength Oppenheimer’s massive cast also showed potential for cast members to bring their A-game against Cillian Murphy’s sterling central performance.

While the whole lot do indeed stand shoulder to shoulder with Christopher Nolan’s lead, it’s Robert Downey Jr. that snuck in and delivered the goods as the MVP. So while you may be showing up for Murphy and Margot Robbie’s front and center protagonists, be prepared to be wowed by some other key players in these separate universes. Think of it as getting more bang for your buck.

Barbie And Oppenheimer Are Kind Of Perfect Together

Superficially, the hyper colorful world of Barbie and the haunting world of Oppenheimer look like a pair that would not go together. Who would realistically expect Greta Gerwig’s examination of feminism/tribute to cinema to pair with Christopher Nolan’s sobering biopic about atomic physics? Look a little closer though, and you can see one common thread links these two movies in a special way.

Through both of these creation-themed stories, one can experience a reckoning with the intentions behind each gadget, and the effects it had on society at large. Barbie inspired young women just as Oppenheimer’s atomic bomb inspired humanity, with both inventions becoming double edged legacies we’re still talking about today.

Of course, Barbie ends on a more positive note than the chillingly unique ending to Oppenheimer. So if you do book yourself into the Barbenheimer experience, it’s recommended you see the historical epic first, then calm down with some neon colored introspective comedy. Should you choose to follow that suggestion or not, both films are currently showing at a theater near you.'

As the food service outlets were closed in most places in the world, egg producers shifted the supply to supermarkets. The standard molded fiber pulp packaging for eggs sold at supermarkets saw significant pressure on inventory leading to a shortage. The shortage has eventually diminished as more people have relaxed and the panic buying & hoarding of eggs has significantly reduced.

'Barbie. Oppenheimer.

A doll and a very real man. Adapted for the big screen by writer-director Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan, respectively, the life stories of these 20th-century icons have become the most talked-about films of the post-pandemic era. That the seemingly opposite projects – a quasi-musical about Barbie, with her Dreamhouse and hot pink aesthetic, and a biopic about J Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb and destroyer of worlds – would open on the same day (that’s today, 21 July!) and play side by side at movie theatres is a bona fide pop-culture phenomenon of its own. Like the popular saying goes: “Inside of you there are two wolves.”

One of these wolves has resulted in a deluge of content unlike anything we’ve seen before – can you even remember life before Barbiecore took over everything? Barbie is always happy and dressed like she’s got somewhere fun to be. In the movie, she’s outfitted in quite a bit of Chanel. She is also a beloved (and sometimes maligned) American product with decades of marketing behind her, so it makes sense that everyone grabbed onto this aesthetic. The crazier and more screwed up the real world gets, the more we find ourselves wishing for the “no thoughts, just vibes” lifestyle of our favourite plastic girl.

But you know who also probably wished for a “no thoughts, just vibes” lifestyle? One Mr J Robert Oppenheimer.

Of course, war itself could also be described as an American product with decades – nay, centuries – of marketing behind it. As vastly different as they look, these two films deal with similar subjects. Now I’m not saying that Oppenheimer is Barbie for men, though it’s true that people went as crazy for Cillian Murphy in a sheer Saint Laurent shirt at a recent premiere as they have for Margot Robbie’s many archival Barbie-inspired red-carpet looks. And that got me thinking about Oppenheimercore – what would an aesthetic trend created around darkness and destruction look like?

Most on the internet have equated Oppenheimer with a goth look, but Oppenheimercore is not just about wearing black – though it’s obvious bright colours have no place here. Oppenheimercore can be as classic as wearing a dark suit but with soft edges that symbolise the scientist’s turmoil. Oppenheimercore revolves around men with jobs – really important jobs. See the man in his army uniform, see the man in his lab coat, see the man in his worker’s overalls, his leather apron, his hazmat suit. Oppenheimercore explores the beauty of destruction and the physical and emotional toll of its aftermath. Oppenheimercore can even extend to include the lifelong anti-war efforts of our titular man.

Looking at the recent men’s collections through this lens was a playful thought exercise, the results of which are a bit of tongue-in-cheek cosplay, but it’s worth noting that it was easy to find matching looks. My guess is the sartorial influence of this movie will be reflected in seasons to come, but the malaise about the general state of the world, the sense that everything that we are doing will also eventually lead to our demise… Well, let’s just say it’s a trending feeling.

...(And in case you’re wondering, the correct order for a double feature is Barbie then Oppenheimer.)'

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

 Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer that finds applications in various industries, from packaging to construction. The price of LDPE is influenced by multiple factors such as raw material costs, demand-supply dynamics, production methods, and market conditions. Understanding these influences is crucial for both buyers and sellers in the polymer industry, as the cost of LDPE can significantly impact product pricing and profit margins.

One of the primary drivers of LDPE prices is the cost of its raw material, ethylene. Ethylene is produced from natural gas or petroleum, and its price fluctuates based on crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and supply disruptions. When the price of crude oil increases, so does the cost of ethylene, which in turn raises the price of LDPE. Conversely, when oil prices decline or the supply of ethylene improves, the cost of LDPE tends to decrease. Thus, shifts in global oil markets often serve as a leading indicator for changes in LDPE pricing.

Demand for LDPE also plays a vital role in price determination. The polymer is commonly used in the production of films, plastic bags, and flexible packaging materials, and its demand is closely linked to economic growth and consumer spending. For example, during periods of economic expansion, industries such as retail and e-commerce experience higher demand for packaging, which in turn drives up the demand for LDPE. On the other hand, during economic downturns, demand for these products may slow down, causing LDPE prices to stabilize or fall. Additionally, the growth of emerging markets, where industries are expanding rapidly, contributes to a higher demand for LDPE, putting upward pressure on prices.

Another factor impacting LDPE prices is the level of competition within the market. With numerous manufacturers producing LDPE, competition tends to keep prices competitive, but it can also lead to price volatility. Market players who focus on optimizing production costs, improving efficiency, and incorporating sustainable practices may be able to offer LDPE at more competitive rates. However, when major producers experience issues such as plant shutdowns, strikes, or unexpected maintenance, it can lead to temporary supply shortages and cause a spike in prices. Furthermore, global trade policies, tariffs, and sanctions can impact the international flow of LDPE, affecting prices in various regions.

The production process of LDPE is another important factor that influences its pricing. LDPE is manufactured using a high-pressure polymerization process, which is more energy-intensive and costly compared to other types of polyethylene, such as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). As energy prices fluctuate, the production costs for LDPE can vary. Additionally, advancements in production technology, such as more energy-efficient manufacturing techniques, can help reduce production costs, leading to more stable prices in the long term. However, the introduction of new production methods also depends on the willingness of manufacturers to invest in these technologies, which can delay any potential downward pressure on prices.

Supply chain disruptions can cause significant fluctuations in LDPE prices. For example, natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods can disrupt the supply of raw materials or the transportation of finished products. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains, leading to a shortage of LDPE in some regions and price hikes. Such disruptions lead to market uncertainty, and the unpredictability of these events can result in sharp price fluctuations.

The cost of energy is another key element that affects LDPE pricing. Since the production of LDPE involves energy-intensive processes, fluctuations in energy costs—especially the price of natural gas and electricity—can directly influence the overall production cost. When energy prices are high, manufacturers face increased costs, which may be passed on to consumers in the form of higher LDPE prices. Conversely, when energy prices fall, production costs can decrease, leading to lower prices for LDPE.

Additionally, regulatory factors, such as environmental policies, can have a significant impact on LDPE pricing. Many countries are increasingly enforcing stricter regulations on plastic production and recycling, as part of efforts to reduce plastic waste and improve sustainability. As a result, manufacturers of LDPE may face higher compliance costs to meet these regulations. These costs could include investments in more sustainable production methods, recycling technologies, or even product redesigns. Such expenses can lead to higher LDPE prices as manufacturers pass on these costs to consumers.

On the consumer side, changes in preferences and regulations around plastic usage can also affect the demand for LDPE. For instance, rising awareness of plastic pollution has led to a shift toward alternative materials, such as biodegradable plastics or recycled polyethylene. As the demand for LDPE decreases, prices may soften; however, if demand for LDPE remains strong due to its low cost and versatility, the prices may remain stable or increase. This dynamic underscores the importance of balancing environmental considerations with the economic forces that shape the polymer market.

In conclusion, the price of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is subject to a wide array of factors, from raw material costs and demand patterns to production methods, supply chain dynamics, and environmental regulations. Buyers and sellers in the polymer market need to stay informed about the underlying economic trends that influence LDPE prices to make strategic decisions. By understanding the complex interplay of these factors, stakeholders can better navigate the fluctuations in LDPE prices, making more informed purchasing and production decisions. Whether for packaging, agriculture, or industrial applications, the price of LDPE is a critical component of the broader plastic industry and its global supply chain.
