[TL Summary] Hanasaki Miyabi Marshmallow Reading (4/8/2021)

Get To Know Hanasaki Miyabi!! I’ll do QnA Marshmallow! [Hanasaki Miyabi/Holostars]

I reccommend watching the stream too!

He first greets the fans by telling them it’s been cold lately. After a cute head swaying and the usual KonbanMiyabi~, he then mentioned how there are new people who starts watching him lately, or maybe even those who had following him for long, and might not know who he is – for he doesn’t know himself much either, said by him – and he direct this stream for those who wants to know him more deeper.

There are many marshmallows sent to him and he might unable to answer it all.

・The mallow sender is very fond of Miyabi’s cuteness; The part of him that shows how good he is at games, the part of him that is nice to his Hanamigumis, the part of him that likes Temma a lot, the part of him that can’t read kanji well… The more they see him from different angle the cuter he looks and they wonder how can he be so cute and what is Miyabi’s own definition of cute.

Miyabi answered with how he doesn’t actually aiming to act cute, he’s just living as he is. He just showed how he actually is. So he concluded that probably he’s probably being cute just by living. He described it with how you usually saw a beautiful flower blooming on the side of the road and thought how cute it is.

Tho, he doesn’t like it if he’s being praised cute too much.

By re-reading what the mallow sender thought of him as cute, he said maybe to this person’s eye, he’ll probably be forgiven for almost anything at this rate; even if he ate his food messily and can’t clean it by himself, or when he got very fat, the sender might just think of it as cute.

Chat: I wouldn’t like messy eating… Miyabi: Yes! That’s how it should be. I think I’ll be a goner if you all don’t get angry for what I did wrong. So you all should get angry to me if I got overboard, okay. I think human is like that.

Comment: Then please don’t mute yourself when you’re sneezing Miyabi: That is one of the only thing I will never do.

Looks like even if we throw him red SC, he won’t change his mind.

・The sender wants to know what kind of bag that Miyabi usually use when he go out.

He answered, when he was in elementary school he used a aqua blue and white backpack with a strap of stuffed Disney character doll on the side. After he entered middle school, he felt a little embarrassed wearing it and decided to use a shoulder bag. He sometimes still use shoulder bag until now. And now, for some reason, he goes back to occasionally using the aqua blue and white backpack. He likes how it can hold many goods at once. And what he usually use now is a red, white, and blue colored backpack. And he still bring the same stuffed Disney character doll. He also said he put the Kyomu Suzume keychain too.

His mother had said to him that wouldn’t his age doesn’t suit for him to still hanging around a character doll on a bag, and he replied with “But I like it!!” In the end, his interest is still the same from when he was a kid.

Chat said that dolls has no age limit and he agrees. He also imagines a situation of him meeting someone wearing the same character doll strap and will quietly say in his heart “Ahh, you too huh. That doll is cute, I understand~!” and wouldn’t it be exciting to see someone who brought the same goods as you!

He also imagines a future where people with Holostars goodies glancing at each other’s merchandise and form a conversation of fellow Holostars fans, and said how exciting it will be – tho since Holostars had released their own goods, he find it possible to do even now –

・The sender told him about the new Among Us map and wondered if Holostars will play it again.

Miyabi answered this question vaguely by saying he’s preparing for things and told us to wait for it.

・The sender has bought food from convenience store a lot lately and wondered about Miyabi’s recommended convenience store items.

Miyabi answered with how he likes and often goes to buy stuff from convenient store. He mentioned how there are many types of convenient store, but the one he goes the most is Seven Eleven. He recommended a section beside the onigiri section, in the French bread section where you can find bread with cream cheese and salmon filling. Tho, he mentioned how it depends on the place whether they stock the same food or not. The next on his recommendation list is salad with pork shabu-shabu, and he also recommended season-limited food and drinks, like zavas cocoa and the likes. He also recommended flank steak. Also microwaveable squid, or those that could be use as side dish like smoked salmon. And spicy dried squid. For the drinks, he recommended cola. He told of normal occurrences he usually had where, despite all of the food and drinks mentioned before, when he reached the cashier he’ll eventually buy more goods and the total price would be over 3K. And after he got home, he’ll eat it all in just a day. Especially if there’s an update to the game he played.

Chat: And this is how you gained 5kg weight… Miyabi: Stop it everyone! It’s supposed to be membership-only secrets!

In the end, he admitted it and said he would like do a diet. He said if there’s a convenient store nearby, Temma will definitely go there too but alas there’s none near his house.

・The mallow asked him what does he likes from Temma.

Since it’s embarrassing for him, Miyabi decided to keep the answer in membership-only content. Instead, he told the viewer to ask Temma what does he likes from Miyabi.

・The mallow asked what kind of clothing does he usually wear when going outside, and who’s the most stylish out of all Holostars members

Miyabi said he often wears parker and mentioned how he likes checkered pattern. His pants and shirts are mostly checkered. (Tho, not all full-checkered) He also used to wear jeans, but the jeans he bought last year no longer fit him and realized that he’s gaining weight. As for the stylish member, he mentioned Astel is a stylish one. He also mentioned Shien is also stylish, but both Astel’s and Shien’s style are different kind of stylish. Aru-san’s is just Aru-san-like. He doesn’t know much about Temma’s yet, since the two rarely met offline. Miyabi said how Shien’s style is able to bring out his personality with a sense of adultness and not too eye-catching. The other day when they both went out, Miyabi saw the sneaker Shien was wearing and it was white-purple, and he felt a strong Kageyama Shien-ness from it. In the end, he keep glaring at Shien’s shoe. Miyabi said he likes shoes. When he wanted to ask Shien where did he bought the shoe so he can bought the red-yellow one, chat told him that it was a birthday gift from his fans. When chat asked about shoe size, he refused to tell it since he doesn’t want people get surprised if they knew his shoe size is bigger or smaller than what they imagined.

To conclude the answer about what does he wear when he goes out, normally he doesn’t go out much either so there’s not much of it. He mentioned that he has about another 9 of the same white shirt he’s wearing right now and regularly changed it based on time and circumstances (refers to his 2D model, not his rl shirt)

Chat suggested him to buy outfits online. Miyabi said that if he were to buy clothing, especially shoes, online we can’t measure out the size for our size. Shoe size can also change depends on the maker/designer. He doesn’t do online shopping unless for things he really wanted.

He likes Nikes. When he was gonna search for a particular item, he didn’t realized his browser was on the stream screen. He panicked and quickly closed it, and said that now everyone knows he usually uses Yahoo search engine.

・The mallow asked about is his character setting of not being able to be 18 is the same being forever 17

Miyabi said it’s a very important question. If he told about it, he might be erased from this world. He leave to viewer’s own imagination.

・The mallow asked does he likes chocolate mint or not. Miyabi: Now then, question! Does Hanasaki Miyabi likes chocolate mint or not!

*drums roll*

Miyabi: The correct answer is………………………..I really really like it!

When he goes to Baskin Robbins, he usually orders chocolate mint too. Chat: Then, that means I need to fight Miyabi Miyabi: Why?! I don’t want a fight. Will this be a world-scale war?

Some chats said that they really hate chocolate mint, and Miyabi said that it’s not nice to bluntly said show your hate, especially if they’ve never tasted it before. Chat linked it with coriander (teasing about Miyabi’s curry topping stream) and Miyabi said coriander gave him another different punch that sent him straight into a temple. When chat said that he will someday conquer coriander too, he’ll maybe try going into temple and eat it there to see if he can do it. Or other alternatives of eating stuff based on coriander and not eating it straight as a topping, just like there are people who didn’t like the actual tomato but are fond of tomato sauce.

Chat: I’ll be waiting for the coriander picnic at temple Miyabi: I need to search for temples that can support streaming first then ww

・This marshmallow asked what words he usually use when he does egosa.

Miyabi checked his recent search bar in twitter and mentioned みやびくん (Miyabi-kun), ゆるすた(Yurustars), 花岸 (Hanakishi), ホロスタ(Holostars), 花咲みやび (Hanasaki Miyabi), 花咲の森 (Hanasaki Forest), 住人スタンプ (Hanasaki Forest’s Residents Stamp), 花見組 (Hanamigumi), モンハン (Monster Hunter), モモコブロッサム(Momoko Blossom).

When he checked the Momoko Blossom word, his eyes fell upon a fanart that depicts Momoko Blossom gijinka and showed it on stream. He said its really really cute and showed his Miyabi-ness, especially the ribbon part. He decided to RT and liked it. He also wanted to see more gijinka of other forest residents too. Miyabi mentioned that he always like gijinkas. He showed another cute fanart on stream and thanked the author.

・The mallow asked whether Miyabi is a streamer that tends to remember his fans or not.

Miyabi said that he quickly forget people’s names, but if the person came to his stream a lot and commented, he’ll tend to remember them. Also people who mutter on Twitter a lot, draws fanart, and other stuff. If he see a new name on his stream he will know that they’re newcomers too. He encouraged people to comment more during his streams so he can remember their names.

Chat also mentioned that they usually remember other viewers’ names.

・The next mallow: I love you, Miyabi

What did you eat for dinner yesterday?

Miyabi answered that he ate Jiro Instant Ramen at 3 am, but he can’t remember what he ate for dinner. He’s able to remember Jiro Ramen because it left a huge guilty feeling in him for eating it at midnight and could possibly make him gain more weight, especially he’ll sleep after that. Miyabi mentioned that Jiro Ramen also has vegetables in it. A chat said that sleeping after you fill your tummy is the best and Miyabi agrees. Apparently he drinks all the soup too and is guilty for adding up more fat for him to burn.

A chat recommended him to store the soup for the next day and then add rice and eggs on it, and said it’s enough for 2 portions. Miyabi said it’s a great idea and will try it next time.

・The next mallow asked is it annoying to send a letter to him every month.

Miyabi answered not at all, in fact he wants fans to send him one every day. Chat said that the letters are most probably gonna be compiled and sent at the same day. Imagining that, Miyabi becomes a bit scared. A chat asked whether the content of the letter will be checked by management before it reached him, and he answered yes. So there are instances that if management finds the letter dangerous, they might block the sender. Temma and Shien had told him about how great season-based letters are and Miyabi agrees. He mentioned that his letter will be compiled in the office and sent to him once every 3-4 months. He said that the last time he received his new batch of letters is a week or two weeks ago (judging from this stream’s date, it’s probably about April 1st or March 25th) and the letters he received that time were new year greetings. And so, if fans wanted to send regular letters, he suggested sending it every 3-4 months. He mentioned that his, along with Holostars, will have 2nd anniversary soon and he said he will receive a batch of letters that time too.

・Next mallow asked him about foods he recently hooked into.

Miyabi answered that lately he’s been buying soy milk. When couldn’t finish all the milk, he’ll put them in dishes like hamburg and annin tofu. He’s been trying to make soy milk-based dishes. A chat asked what does soy milk taste like, and Miyabi described it as tofu being squished and mixed with a bit of sugar. He also said soy milk hot pot is great. It’s a hot pot with a soup of soy milk with consommé, with chicken breast meat and Chinese cabbage put in it, also put a bit(?) of cheese in it and it’ll be super delicious. He reminded us that we shouldn’t put too much cheese for such a healthy dish. He said he’s been trying to cook by himself lately and made omurice, tho the dish he’s good at making right now is still instant cup ramen. He really likes cheese and would put them into hot pots, mentioned how it’ll taste great with tomato hot pot. He tried to not do that too much, thought.

He shared a story of where he tried experimenting what ingredientsb suits pasta more to his liking, and found out about ochazuke-no-moto pasta recipe. He claimed it as delicious and everyone should try it too. After you boil the pasta and drain the water, you put it in ochazuke-no-moto soup and warm it. It’s also cheap. He said he made it a lot when he was in middle school, but not recently.

・The next mallow asked about Miyabi’s first impression on other Holostars members, like their fashion impression. They also wanted to know Miyabi’s fashion as well.

Miyabi said that the first Holostars member he had met offline was Roberu. He described his first impression on Roberu as… still Roberu. When he was alone waiting for everyone while looking at his phone, Roberu suddenly greeted him with his usual tone, while Miyabi was all surprised and greeted politely. The next member he met was Rikka and Aru-san. He described Aru-san as… still Aru-san. His character model wear a pretty uniform-like clothing, but the offline Aru-san he saw wore a more free style clothes and Miyabi thought “So Aru-san can dress like this too.” He also wore masks and glasses and to Miyabi it was a bit scary and didn’t believe it was Aru-san at first ww Rikka’s is just Rikka. The next members he met is Astel. Miyabi said he was scared when meeting him at first “This is… the aura of an extrovert! This is bad!” Miyabi’s introvert radar rang danger signs ww But after Miyabi talked a bit with him, he realized Astel is stil Astel. On the way home, he got on the same train as Astel and talked about the future for a bit until they both reached their own destination. The next member is Shiepi. He said he likes Shiepi the most. They both likes the same thing and able to talk about the hobby, and Miyabi could talk with Shien more easily. He could feel more calmer when he was talking and being beside Shiepi. The last members he met are Izuru, Temma, and Oga. Miyabi described Izuru as the one who is much kinder and calmer than others. Mentioned how Astel Izuru are usually loud when they stream together, but offline Izuru is very quiet, he’s like a cat. Sometimes Izuru whispered to him that the town is scary, and Miyabi finds it cute. Miyabi said his walking pace is fairly slow, Izuru would sometimes turn at him and asked if he’s tired. Even after Miyabi told him to go on ahead, Izuru adjust his pace and walk along with Miyabi. It is a surprising side to him. As for Oga, Miyabi described him as someone who has big bro energy. His build is big too, but despite that he keeps tries to keep talking in a friendly matter to Miyabi, and is very kind. The last is Temma, but he doesn’t really understand him yet. When he first met him offline, Temma was very nervous and he couldn’t talk much with him. Miyabi mentioned that he met offline with the others are not personal, and was actually a Holostars offline meeting, so he didn’t have much time alone with Temma to understand him further. When he glanced at Temma, he always looked like his gaze was heading towards somewhere far away. He was shaking in the corner. Miyabi tried talking to him, but both of them were very nervous. Next time Holostars do an offline meeting again, Miyabi is determined to properly talk to him.

・The next mallow asked where would he go when Miyabi and Temma went outside together.

Miyabi said it’s probably restaurants and such. Mentioned that the only personal offline meeting experience he had was with Astel and Shien when they go to Disney together, and the only member that he met offline just the two of them is only Shien, watched the new Fate: Grand Order movie. With Temma, both are probably will be too nervous to talk to each other and made it awkward, so they’ll bring a third-party, Aru-san to come with them and have lunch together. He said it’ll be much more easier to talk if there’s more people.

・The next mallow asked Miyabi to beg cutely so the sender could give him pocket money and spoil him more and more.

He has a side of losing interest of doing something when he were told to do it, so he apologized that he won’t do it. He do likes and wants money but directly asking for it to his viewers felt wrong, so:

Miyabi: …Give me money, please. Ww

Chat: *Superchats Shower

Miyabi thanked all of the superchats and said he’ll use it as funds for Hanasaki Forest.

・The mallow sender noticed that there’s many bird-like creature in Hanasaki Forest and asked what kind of bird does Miyabi likes

Miyabi answered with bird thight, bird liver, bird skin, bird wings, parts of birds that could be eaten. Was surprised that they weren’t talking about birds to eat, but living birds in general ww

He said that a warbler has been living nearby his house and he often heard it’s chirps, and start liking warbler. He also likes penguin, chicks, and sparrow. He likes cool-looking birds like eagle and owl. He mentioned that when he was still in elementary school, he kept a pretty big peacock. It was gone when he graduated. He wanted to try eating a big fried egg using ostrich eggs and wondered how many servings he could make with just using one egg.

・Next mallow sender noticed how Miyabi chooses his word carefully in minds of the person he talked to and could sense kindness from it and is awed by it. They asked whether that kindness of him is just natural or he tried to be as careful as possible when talking to people, and said they wanted to communicate to people as kind as him.

Miyabi said that it could be coming naturally from him, but there’s one point in his life that made scared of people to the point he couldn’t go outside of his home. That made him developed a personality that tries to observe the person he’s talking and finds out what could possibly make this person happy and sad and angry, and tries to blend in with the people around him. He don’t know if this could be called kindness, since all he wants to do is get along with everyone and don’t want any fights. He has confident that he can befriend newcomers easily with this trait and he might be the best to read the room. He said by being afraid of people and observing them that probably we could get less fearful of them.

But because of this, he also said that collabing with Holostars members are quiet difficult. But he decided that it’s fine for him and thought that it’s one of the good part of Holostars.

・The next mallow mentioned that Miyabi always changed his (L2D) outfit not bounded by the current season and asked if there’s any particular reason when he wanted to change outfit, or is it just depends on his mood.

Miyabi said that he didn’t think much of it. He decided on the spot what kind of outfit he’ll use before stream starts. Tho there are times where he wanted to fit his outfit with the theme of his stream, like marshmallow reading such as this might draws in more new viewers who is curious of him so he want to wear his default outfit, or when he plays horror games he’ll use casual clothing like his summer outfit to give a feeling that he’s playing at home.

That was the last mallow! He said that it’s still not enough and he plans to do more at a later date. There are still many mysteries of him that he himself still doesn’t know too. For those who want to know more of Hanasaki Miyabi’s charm, he encouraged you to watch his streams more.

Thank you for reading~

exceedingly slight annoyance

I wish the Dev QnA wasn't dead, if only for the lore tidbits.

For example, the Encyclopedia Lorebook "Epilogue: Flight Rising" says that

The Eleven founded their eventual homes around the largest slabs of the Pillar that had come to rest across the realm. Although separated and cloistered, they still held a powerful connection to the monument that once shielded their world from darkness.

And also that

These new denizens dedicated their lives to protecting their piece of the Pillar, and preserving the strength and significance of their element.

And just in case you didn't think it was important, they repeat themselves

These denizens dedicated their lives to protecting their piece of the ruined column, and preserving the strength and significance of their element.

BUT. Hello! The last three Gods never slept in the Pillar! The Eleven? You mean the Eight! They don't have any slabs! Obviously that leaves "preserving the strength and significance of their element" as their cause... which is cool, I suppose. We've got *glances at notes* big plant enthusiast flight, the landscape is rotting flesh flight, and vaguely-sorta-radioactive coded space magic curiosity to the point of causing an apocalypse flight. Yeah, the world just wouldn't be the same without you guys.

Does being from an entirely different, more recent Age affect these flights at all? How they're perceived by others? Do the older flights/gods think of the younger ones as reckless and untempered by experience? Does the Earthshaker blame the Arcanist for kinda causing he and his siblings' separation, which he seemed pretty broken up about?

Do the Gladekeeper and Plaguebringer both resent the awakening of these other, older Gods, and miss when they could just duke it out with their singular opponent, and (presumably) being equally matched, own half of the world, rather than.. 1/11th?

Does the Arcanist spend his time gazing out into the cosmos in part because he feels no particular affiliation to the planet he resides on? He didn't create it, he didn't protect it. He spawned into existence, looked around for a day or two, said "well, I know everything about this boring rock" and discovered his true calling was staring into space.

And, hell, what's up with the slabs from the flights that do have them? Do dragons make pilgrimages to the (remains of) The Pillar of the World? Is there a museum where Light's piece is? Did the Flamecaller melt hers in that giant volcano and that's why shit's gone awry there lately? Did Shadowbinder throw hers in the trash hide it in the Forum of the Obscured Crescent?

I mean, I can headcanon whatever the hell I want to and roll with it, but every now and then I wonder what the people behind the base lore I'm using would think of these questions.

the programme is over, i’m at peace, at least for today. a couple of participants thanked me and the speaker

nearly went breathless when i had to speak because of the anxiety but tried to pace myself

didn’t handle the QnA segment as i could have since i was panicking so much. public speaking is a lot easier over a screen as opposed to a live venue though. for the most part, no one can tell i’m anxious — don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing because then people never take me seriously when i confess to being deathly afraid of public speaking. but it’s obvious: there’ll be a lot of repetition and redundancy in my language

went out for lunch with family and then grocery shopping to prep for steamboat and fell asleep in the car because i was so exhausted from work

had a fantastic steamboat dinner with family. it’s always so much fun and we laugh a lot. kidbro and i couldn’t stop trading double eleven lazada ADDEU TO CARTEU NOW and 12 12 happy bday shopee jokes over the dining table

strummed the ukulele for fun again. dad walked past my room and tossed twenty cents at me. then mom walked by and tossed a fifty dollar note at me before taking it back quickly. my parents are trolls

i’m afraid i won’t have all this one day. the reason i’ve craved companionship is probably because i come from a fairly stable and mostly loving family; sure we have our crazy moments, and i’m pretty sure i thought about running away from home as a kid/teen, but now i’m always haunted by this feeling that my time with them is limited and i want to us to have fun — that’s pretty much it

i struggle to read even short stories these days. maybe i need to check out some contemporary poetry to get into the groove of reading again. i’m just so busy and tired all the time and i never get to spend enough time by myself

earlier i was typing this work-email when mom came up behind me and said ‘oh JFK’ and i said ‘what’ without turning said and she said ‘it came from JFK — might have covid’ and i said ‘JFK? as in the airport?’ and she said ‘yes’ and i asked ‘what came from the airport?’ and she said ‘turn around’ and she was holding on to what looked like a white shoebox, except it had a ‘tarte’ sticker on it. i took out the eyeshadow palette i had bought her and she seemed pleased; this was one of the loveliest moments all week

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND August 9, 2019 - ONE CHILD NATION, VISION PORTRAITS, PEANUT BUTTER FALCON and lots more!

For this week’s column, I’m going to put a little more focus on two excellent documentaries out this week, even though there’s a few narratives worth checking out, as well..

The first doc I want to talk about is Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang’s ONE CHILD NATION (Amazon Studios), an amazing look at the edict by the Chinese government in the ‘80s -- one that ran right up until fairly recently -- which pushed for families to only have one child in order to help the country’s struggling economy. The idea is that the less children to feed, the further resources can be spread. This “suggestion” was one that became a huge problem for families as young women were being kidnapped and sterilized after having one child and some families had to give up their second child for adoption, often against their own desires... though they were also given much needed money and food. It’s an edict that becomes even more nefarious when you consider that women are having important personal decisions about having children being made for them by the government. (Sound familiar?) The running storyline through the movie involves a teen girl, whose twin was taken away for adoption when she was very young, as the filmmakers help her reconnect with her now-teen twin in America. Her story is so moving that if the two of them were actually reunited in the film, I probably would have broken down and had one of the ugliest cries I’ve ever had during a movie. As it it, it’s already a heartbreaking and emotional film with the situation so well portrayed by the two filmmakers, and it’s a movie I connected to from my osmosis having lived in Chinatown for 26 years.

I imagine it will be on Amazon relatively soon, but if you’re a fan of great documentary filmmaking, you might want to seek this out in New York (at the Film Forum), Boston, L.A. and other cities this weekend.

I next want to talk about Rodney Evans’ VISION PORTRAITS (Stimulus Pictures), which opens exclusively at the Metrograph following its premiere at SXSW earlier this year.

Not many people know this but a little over a year ago, I was dealing with my own vision problems where I had a scratched retina from shingles, but I was also having trouble with deteriorating vision in both eyes. I’m actually surprised that more of my editors didn’t ask me about why most of the pieces I submitted were zoomed in 175-250% as my eyesight got worse, but it was getting to the point where I wouldn’t be able to read any black writing on white background and had trouble reading some comics when letterers got a bit too creative with the word balloons. It got pretty serious until last year when an opthomologist suggested I get cataract surgery.

Filmmaker Rodney Evans has been dealing with his eyesight problems for years, but they had been getting worse as his filmmaking career progress. In a moment of introspection, he decided to interview other artists with vision impairment to see how they deal with it while making their art. These include dancer/choreographer Kayla Hamilton, writer Ryan Knighton and photograph John Dugdale, as the film also follows Evans own path in order to get a procedure to help alleviate his blindness.

The film is fascinating, especially the idea of “passing” as sighted, something I had to deal with during my own declining eyesight. (BTW, I’m fine now as I had that cataract surgery and I now wear reading glasses for most computer/phone activities.)

Evans will be at the Metrograph all weekend doing QnAs for his film with a number of special guests (including Winter’s Bone director Debra Granik on Sunday!) so if you’re interested in knowing more about how those with vision problems can still be creative artists, this is worth checking out. It’s not a sexy movie, but it’s an important one. It will open in L.A. at the Laemmle Royal on August 23.

youtube

I also want to mention that Garret Price’s doc Love, Antosha will open in New York at the Quad Cinema on Friday, and if you were ever a fan of actor Anton Yelchin, then this amazing doc with interviews with so many of the filmmakers and other actors he’s worked with is heartbreaking but essential. It’s an amazing list that even includes Nicolas Cage reading letters from Anton to his mother – brilliantly, no less -- but it’s also wonderful to hear such wonderful things about Yelchin from those who worked with him and called him friend.

Also, if you haven’t had a chance to see Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am, now’s a good time to learn more about this amazing author who passed away earlier this week. It’s still playing in select cities but hopefully Magnolia Pictures will be able to get it out to more theaters with her passing.

There’s a LOT of wide releases this week, and it’s a pretty mixed bag. I’ve seen three of the movies, and one of the ones I liked I can say that I liked it – the other one is under embargo. I guess it might be more obvious which is which when my reviews turn up at The Beat later this week.

I will say that I enjoyed Tom Shadyac’s BRIAN BANKS (Bleecker Street), starring Aldis Hodges and Greg Kinnear, quite a bit, since I have friends in prison who have dealt with the broken justice system where it’s easier to make a plea deal and prevent many hours in court with lawyer hours billed. Banks was a Long Beach, California high school football star who was accused of rape. Although the allegations were false, he takes a deal and gets thrown in jail for eleven years, destroying his dreams of being in the NFL. Out on probation, Banks tries to get his football career going again but discovers that the limitations of his probation and a GPS ankle bracelet makes it impossible, as well as impossible to get a job. He turns to a lawyer with a group who works on getting those falsely accused exonerated and begins an uphill battle against the California justice system. The movie is quite meaningful and inspirational to watch Banks’ story being told with Hodges giving an excellent performance as the football player. I never knew about Banks, so I was fascinated by the film, although I’m sure there will be cynical people out there who feel that this is a cooking cutter legal film that doesn’t have the dramatic fireworks of other such films. I actually liked that Shadyac, who had nearly retired from the business after making low-brow comedies like Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty, would return to tell something that’s more meaningful and important. I’m just not sure if anyone will want to pay to see this in theaters, so its wide release is fairly risky, but it’s a worthwhile venture for sure.

I’m not sure I’ll ever get around to seeing Paramount’s DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD, just ‘cause I’ve never watched the Nickelodeon cartoon, although it certainly looks cute, and I always love seeing Michael Peña (Ant-Man) and Isabela Moner was amazing in last year’s Instant Family. I guess I’ll see if I can get to this eventually, but it’s not a priority for me.

While I can’t say much about the Guillermo del Toro-produced André Øvredal-directed SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK (CBS Films/Lionsgate) due to a review embargo, it’s based on the (apparently controversial) young adult horror novel series of the ‘80s, featuring a cast of younger newcomers like Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush and Austin Zajur. I guess I can say that fans of old school horror films will probably like the use of practical FX in creating the creatures of urban legend, giving the movie a nostalgia factor we don’t frequently see in modern horror films.

I’ll have an interview with Øvredal later in the week, as well as a review, both over at The Beat.

I never read the Vertigo Comics series THE KITCHEN (New Line) when it was first published in 2014, but it offers an interesting premise of women taking over the Irish mob in 1978 Hell’s Kitchen, New York with three fantastic actors in Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss. You’ll have to wait for my review later today to see if it works or not, but you can read my interview with filmmaker Andrea Berloff right here.

I also haven’t read the novel THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN, which has been adapted by Fox starring Amanda Seyfried, Milo Ventimiglia with Kevin Costner voicing a dog, but I haven’t seen any of the dog movies this year, so this one won’t be the exception.

You can read my thoughts on the box office of the five movies above over at The Beat.

LIMITED RELEASES

Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz’s PEANUT BUTTER FALCON (Roadside Attractions/Armory Films/Endevor Content) was a nice surprise that premiered at the SXSW Film Festival. The idea of Shia Labeouf and Dakota Johnson (from the “50 Shades” movies) on a road trip with a young man with Downs’ Sydrome (breakout star Zack Gottsagen) sounds like it could be absolutely horrifying, so imagine my surprise when this turned out to be fairly warm and wonderful and actually quite funny. A lot of that comes from Gottsagen who is quite funny, and the movie allows you to laugh with him rather than at him, which is sometimes the case with movies involving mental disabilities. It’s a very enjoyable film that might have some appeal to wrestling fans – the title of the movie is Zack’s wrestling name and his goal is to get to a wrestling school run by Thomas Hayden Church. But there are some fun wrestling cameos in the movie as well. Maybe it’s no surprise that it actually won the Audience Award at this year’s SXSW Film Festival, as well.

It’s opening in New York, L.A. and a couple other cities like Austin, Dallas and others on Friday. For transparency, my friend Susan McPhail has a small role in the movie…but I liked the movie anyway :)

I was definitely intrigued by Bart Freundlich’s AFTER THE WEDDING (Sony Pictures Classics), which premiered at Sundance and starred Michelle Williams and Freundlich’s wife Julianne Moore in a gender-twist on the Susanne Bier movie of the same name from 2006, which starred Mads Mikkelsen, who was excellent in the movie. Williams and Moore are also very good in this movie which has Williams as a woman working with underprivileged orphans in India who travels to New York to meet with the CEO of a business looking to invest money in the program. Once there, she’s invited to a wedding, only to learn that the father of the groom is a former boyfriend (played by Billy Crudup). I’m not sure how much more I can say about the developments that occur, because they might be somewhat surprising if you haven’t seen the original movie but it leads to some high drama with Freundlich continuing his streak from the underrated Wolves a few years back. This opens in New York and L.A. this Friday.

Casey Affleck’s third movie as a director, LIGHT OF MY LIFE, might have gotten a festival release or a better theatrical release than the one normally given by Saban Films, but the allegations against him and the whole #MeToo movement has probably made it harder to sell the movie, especially with the filmmaker/star not doing interviews.

Tom Donahue’s doc THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING (Good Deed Entertainment),o opening at the IFC Center and in L.A., features some of the prominent female voices in Hollywood talking about the underrepresentation (and underpayment) of women in the movie industry. The film includes an amazing roster includes Geena Davis, also one of the film’s exec. producers, Marisa Tomei, Jessica Chastain, Meryl Streep, Rashida Jones and many, many more, and hearing what they have to say about their experiences in the industry is very enlightening and important.

Hari Sama’s THIS IS NOT BERLIN (Samuel Goldwyn), opening in New York at the IFC Center this Friday and in L.A. on August 23 is an intriguing coming of age film set in 1986 Mexico City, which harks back to Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma last year. It involves a seventeen-year old named Carlos (played by Xabiani Ponce de Léon) who doesn’t fit in but starts finding himself when he gets involved in the post-punk scene at a nightclub, although his best friend Gera (José Antonio Toledano) has trouble adjusting, causing fiction in the friendship.

In many ways, this remined more of Cuaron’s earlier film Y Tu Mama Tambien, although it’s a little more erratic in terms of tone, as well as being somewhat predictable about where things might go wrong. What’s especially interesting is the exploration of sexuality by the two friends in the movie and how that is affected as they go further down a rabbit hole of drugs and depravity. The movie also stars Roma’s Marina de Tavira as Carlos’ mother, and while it probably won’t be for everyone, Sama offers a great new voice on the international filmmaking circuit.

Martin Freeman and Morena Baccarin (Deadpool) star in Jason Winer’s rom-com ODE TO JOY (IFC Films), which opens in select cities and On Demand this Friday. In it, Freeman plays a man suffering from narcolepsy who tries to overcome it when he falls in love. Also starring Melissa Rauch, Jake Lacy, Jane Curtin and more.

Lastly, Robi Michael’s psychological thriller Every Time I Die (Gravitas Ventures) stars Drew Fonteiro as a man who is murdered at a lake sending his consciousness travelling through the bodies of friends to warn them of the killer. Very high concept indeed...

STREAMING AND CABLE

As far as Netflix this week, I am looking forward to seeing the new crime and martial arts series WU ASSASSINS, starring Iko Uwais from The Raid and more recently, Stuber, which will debut on Thursday. There’s a lot of great martial arts talent in the movie including Mark Dacascos as well as Summer Glau from Firefly, so this should be a fun show. I’m even MORE excited for return of the series GLOW for its third season this Friday with Geena Davis being added to the mix. I love this show, maybe because I remember watching GLOW so fondly in the ‘80s.

REPERTORY

The Values Of Instructional Design In The Investment Decision Business

Todd: Juanita 1st of all I want to say many thanks for the interview.

It also entails a serial killer that is instructional design certificate extremely distinct from the typical mainstream predator. Questions 5, six and seven issue your progress by means of the program. Fluttering a cursor throughout a monitor like a drunken butterfly is lousy training. The instruction instructional design certificate should consist of specific breaks and "homework" that you can post so that the two you and the instruction provider can check out your development and advise motion to get you "back on keep track of" if needed. Exterior assistance assets rarely do this very well. When speaking about the building of deliverables, there is a likelyhood you will learn in a paper-centered generally module, workshop, and even an online module. Yet, in essence the most essential type includes the objectives, context, info, interactivity, utility, nicely summary finally . Irrespective of, no matter whether or not you selected the strategy of Http://Bzen.Co.Kr/Index.Php?Mid=QnA&Document_Srl=2617339 course of-pushed, setting up blocks, best factors, or chronological, assure that it fully matches with the item no significance deliverables.

He would like to review animals by dwelling in Africa but thinks he wants to move back property to treatment for ageing dad and mom. There's almost nothing like a roadmap when you will need to go from concept to finished presentation. If you're checking out a presentation company that phone calls everything a blueprint when it's genuinely just a checklist, you ought to keep wanting. I have started out my very own consulting small business. I have build my site from scratch, which was a large task because I utilised to be the boss and could say "make it so" to my workers and poof it appeared. But this has been a good self confidence builder for me to learn how simple or tricky some duties are in the world wide web world. These concerns may possibly be beneficial in the analysis.

Then, I review that, give suggestions and occasionally even now need to have to give them time for a 3rd revision. If you were making ready surgeons to run for the initially time: this is what you would do. That's my intention.
