Before he arrived on the scene, fashion photography was stuck in a rut, endlessly repeating the stale poses of the 1950s. But US photographer Arthur Elgort turned all that on its head in the early 1970s when he started his long collaboration with Vogue. Today, at 82 years old and despite suffering a stroke, he's still working. We caught up with him in central Paris, where the Azzedine Alaia Foundation is dedicating an exhibition to him. The two fashion giants worked closely over the course of decades and were close friends.
Avant lui, la photo de mode était engoncée dans les poses typiques des années 50. Arthur Elgort a tout balayé, dès le début des années 70, quand il collabore avec le magazine Vogue. À 82 ans et malgré un AVC, l'Américain continue d'exercer sa passion. Nous le retrouvons en plein cœur du Marais à Paris, avec sa famille, pour savourer l'exposition que lui consacre la Fondation Azzedine Alaïa. Le styliste et lui ont beaucoup travaillé ensemble.
Dr. Daniel Elgort currently serves as the Chief Data and Analytics Officer for M2GEN, a bioinformatics company focused on the acceleration of oncology research discoveries through superior data and analytics services. The company was formed as a spin-off of the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, serving as the technological hub for an alliance of 18 NCI-designated cancer centers across the country called the ORIEN network. Prior to M2GEN, Dan was Chief Scientific Officer at Covera Health, where he built a unique healthcare data platform that collects cancer diagnosis data, and links that information to longitudinal clinical data including pharmaceutical and surgical interventions. Dan is a JHU alum, having received his bachelor's in both biomedical engineering and computer science, and he holds a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Case Western Reserve University.In this episode, we discuss how bioinformatics shapes the drug development ecosystem, M2GEN's process for moving clinical science forward, and trends in data processing and sequence technology.Hosted by Joe Varriale.
Lissi Simpson (development assistant, scriptwriter and director) and Karen Gabay (TV producer, award-winning film-maker, exhibition curator and radio presenter) join Flixwatcher remotely to review Lissi's choice Baby Driver. Baby Driver is a 2017 Edgar Wright action drama starring Ansel Elgort as Baby, a getaway driver with tinnitus, Lily James as his love interest Deborah, Jon Hamm and Eiza González as love bird bank robbers Buddy and Darling and Kevin Spacey as Doc, the kingpin of the organised crime syndicate. Jon Bernthal and Jamie Foxx also appear as colourful criminals. Baby is forced to use his driver skills to be the getaway driver to pay back a car he stole from Doc, despite clearing his debt he is forced to do one last job - that obviously goes wrong! Baby Driver was a longtime passion project for Wright and it clearly shows in the visuals and audio. Sadly, given the association now with disgraced Spacey and Elgort is it less the exciting and exhilarating watch that it was back in 2017 and this is reflected in the recommendability scores. Low scores for small screen due to the soundtrack as much as the action gives a solid overall rating of 4.12.

Det er samtidig starten på et nyt koncept, hvor vi kigger på seriers pilotepisoder - vil vi anbefale at se dem, og lægger de op til en interessant fortsættelse? Tokyo Vice er som sagt første levende billede, og der er delte meninger i studiet om næsten alt - også om Ansel Elgorts ophav, for er Elgort egentlig et russisk eller norsk efternavn? Du kan nok høre, at de store spørgsmål bliver diskuteret i denne episode! Vi høres på åen. Forresten...

On his daily podcast, Ben Shapiro notes that many were outraged that ABC had suspended Whoopi Goldberg from The View for two weeks following comments she made about race and the Holocaust. But Shapiro notes that it isn't good enough to suspend her, per the Left's and The View's OWN standards. He cites the Ilya Shapiro case wherein Georgetown Law is now trying to decide whether Ilya Shapiro should be fired for an offensive tweet. The students at Georgetown are holding a protest and demanding he is fired. If Georgetown fires Shapiro, if the collective hive on the Left goes along with this, then they must, by their own standards of intent vs. impact, fire Whoopi Goldberg. Says Ben Shapiro:Okay, so here's the thing. They didn't just suspend Roseanne Barr, for making a racist statement about Valerie Jarrett. They fired Roseanne Barr and took the top rated sitcom off the air. So here's the deal. If you guys are going to play this game, where if somebody is openly identified as anywhere close to a conservative and they say something that is a bad thing, little trademark symbol, if somebody does a bad thing, and they're completely removed from their job, then you don't get to suspend Whoopi Goldberg, you have to fire her. These are the standards and you set them and you don't get to play by two sets of standards.One of the most inexplicable untruths we've been forced to swallow over the past few years is the idea that intent doesn't matter. When someone, or a group of people, feel hurt or offended it's called impact. You caused them to be offended and thus, you are guilty.Impact matters. Intent does not. You are still required to apologize and take responsibility for causing harm. As in:But you can see how that would be a problem for the modern-day Left. They need villains. If Dustin Hoffman got handsy with a woman on a set 40 years ago, even if that was just what people did back then (it was), intent can't matter. Punishment must be enacted because the story being told NOW causes harm to people who hear it. Intent can't matter when deciding whether the Roosevelt statue should stay outside the National History Museum in New York. Intent doesn't matter if an old Hollywood movie has outdated stereotypes. These images still cause harm and must contain a warning or else be removed entirely. The image of Thomas Jefferson causes harm because he once owned slaves, regardless of how things were back then. If a professor says something that people find offensive, he or she could lose their job. We don't even argue about it much anymore. We just kind of go along with it. The Left is in power and they don't really believe in forgiveness. They believe in punishing people for impact, like Donald McNeil at the New York Times. The only acceptable response to Ilya Shapiro's tweets about a “lesser black woman” is that he meant it because he is a racist. They would never consider the other possibility - that he did not choose his words wisely and was swarmed and persecuted as a result. He has apologized, of course, but that doesn't matter.This is covered quite well by Bari Weiss on her substack:Led by a Slate journalist, the Twitter mob did what Twitter mobs do and stoked the intended result: In an email to the school the dean called Shapiro's tweets “appalling” and “at odds with everything we stand for at Georgetown Law.”Then Shapiro, who had already deleted the tweet, sent an apology addressed to the Dean William Treanor and the entire Georgetown community: “I sincerely and deeply apologize for some poorly drafted tweets I posted late Wednesday night,” he wrote. If you've ever been the center of a Twitter swarm you know that the last thing they care about is intent. They look at the words and decide what they mean. If enough people agree about the intent that becomes the “take” and the only acceptable one. I once defended Ansel Elgort whose girlfriend was 19 when he was 21. She had taken to Twitter to complain about how Elgort had treated her when they were together and after they broke up. Twitter reacted and within minutes Elgort was being called a pedophile rapist. When I said “sorry but a relationship with a 19-year-old is not pedophilia.” It was — and considering how many of these I have gone through by now — really bad. I never backed down, though. I never apologized. Instead, I wrote about it here. That was in 2020. Almost three years ago. It is not getting better. It is getting worse.They DEMAND that Ilya Shapiro be considered a racist. They DEMAND that the rioters on January 6th be insurrectionists. They demand that Joe Rogan is killing people with disinformation. And so they must DEMAND Whoopi Goldberg is an anti-semite. To quote Jonathan Pie once again — this is what YOU wanted. But intent does matter. It has to. If you are deciding who is “good” and who is “bad” and you are making it impossible for someone to have any kind of defense, then you are going along with what can only be described as a totalitarian movement. And the Left has become a totalitarian movement. They decide what is true and you have no right to dissent or refuse or deny that truth or you will be punished by the institutions of power that they control, which is all of them.As we speak, Biden's press secretary, Jen Psaki, has joined defacto government officials Harry and Meghan in pressuring Spotify to dump Joe Rogan. As Ben Shapiro says:The Federal government is now actually pressuring companies to violate free speech principles. That is a First Amendment violation. And this is super dangerous, which is why again, they should lose their job. Let's hold them to their standard, Whoopi should lose her job. She was purveying misinformation. This means she should lose her job. If they're going to do it, they made this bed, now they have to lie in this bed. You made it, you lie in it, or we go weapons down. And we tried to reestablish some sense of classical liberalism in the country by agreement. Otherwise, it will be all out warfare here.I personally thought Whoopi Goldberg's statements on race and the Holocaust to be a great way to talk about something that is getting lost over time. And yes, of course, it was about race. It was about wiping out the Jewish people who have always been considered a race for hundreds of years. If you are born with Jewish blood you are Jewish. I am half-Jewish. I wasn't raised as a Jew. My mother was not religious and not Jewish. Still, I am considered a Jew and I have felt what it is like to grow up Jewish. It is something people know about you that is a defining characteristic whether you are practicing or not. It's your nose. It's your eyes. It's, sometimes, your bra size (ahem). Most importantly, Hitler believed Jews had to be wiped out for the superior Aryan race to prevail. You can watch a dehumanization event playing out in real-time right now. Trump supporters have been dehumanized to the point where they could be carted off to camps and Blue Check Twitter would cheer. Jen Psaki would make some comment about how they were too dangerous to have around and that would be that. But a Trump supporter can get out of it, even a white male one, by throwing themselves at the mercy of the Left. They care more about ideological compliance than they do, say, skin color. But Jewish people could not have done that. Even if they'd become Nazis they would be still sent off to concentration camps because of their Jewish blood. That is about race and it's about genocide. Likewise, Joe Rogan's questions about Ivermectin or the vaccine's side effects are absolutely worth discussing loudly and with transparency. Just because they believe in compliance on the Left doesn't mean everyone does. Dumping Joe Rogan from Spotify does not shut up Joe Rogan. It does not shut up “disinformation.” It is what they called a “show trial” in the Soviet Union. Both Stalin and Mao were fond of punishments in public. The higher profile the target the better. It is an act of intimidation and a show of power. That our government would wade into that debate is terrifying. It's another in the long slow slide we've been watching over the past few years as the consolidated power in this country continues to align with the government against the people. Intent does matter because it has to. If you are driving down the road and you accidentally hit and kill a family of four that is not necessarily your fault, even if you are responsible for their deaths. But compare that to driving down the road and aiming your car at a family of four. One is obviously worse than the other. Any politician who fights against this madness will be very popular in 2022 and 2024. The Democrats and Joe Biden should be taking a firm stand for the people, for free speech, and yes, for INTENT. We need leaders who can lead us out of this mess, not ones who keep driving us back into it.At the moment, Spotify is holding firm and not firing Rogan. Ilya Shapiro is still only suspended from Georgetown. And Whoopi Goldberg is only suspended from The View. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

A punto de cumplir 75 años y con medio siglo de carrera tras las cámaras, el legendario director estadounidense se arriesga con una nueva versión de "Amor sin barreras" ("West Side Story"), el famoso musical de Broadway que saltó por primera vez a la pantalla grande en 1961.

Disponible en salas de cine.

The 2017 film "Baby Driver" takes place in a world of vivid colors and nonstop music, but all of the feebly-depicted characters are black and white and the chords the film attempts to hit end up sounding dissonant. Its director, Edgar Wright, seems to have lost his knack for comedy and instead resorts to a bunch of stale criminal lingo that sounds like he learned it by watching old episodes of "Starsky & Hutch." Ansel Elgort plays Baby, a car thief with superhuman tinnitus powers who, as a teenager, inadvertently stole a vehicle loaded with thousands of dollars in drugs that was owned by an Atlanta kingpin. As a result, he's forced to become an indentured servant getaway driver for several years in order to pay for the cost of the stolen merchandise. Lily James plays Debora, a singing waitress who works at a diner that Baby habitually frequents because his dead mother, a former singing waitress, used to work there. She instantly falls for Baby upon meeting him while he’s looking at the kids menu. Then, things continue to get real Oedipal real fast as she takes on a romantic role in his life as well as a quasi-maternal role. Kevin Spacey plays Doc, an underworld boss who carefully organizes major heists in the Atlanta area out of his secret warehouse lair that’s smack dab in the middle of downtown and is frequented by so many criminals that there is no way that it wouldn’t be exposed. He also makes a big point of claiming that he assembles a different crew for each and every job, but then we see him recycle the same people almost immediately. Jon Hamm and Eiza González play Buddy and Darling, a murderous and passionate pair who engage in high-stakes robbery to fuel their cocaine habits. It’s hard to determine what’s less believable, Jon Hamm as a hardened criminal or Eiza González casually firing two automatic weapons at the same time. Jamie Foxx plays Bats, a trigger-happy buffoon who kills almost everyone he meets and is incapable of completing a sentence without inserting some sort of failed pun or nonsensical remark. Join us as we discuss Jon Hamm's shady college past, how this movie instantly aged given Kevin Spacey's creepy dialogue, and how we blame J.J. Abrams for this overrated film getting made.

Mark and Devin contemplate two works of auteur cinema from British directors: Edgar Wright's Baby Driver (0:00-17:55) and Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk (17:55-End). They also apologize for not podcasting about The Big Sick, which they both really liked. Sorry, The Big Sick.
Do you like music? Do you like action? Do you like fast cars speeding around and crashing which isn’t Fast and the Furious? Well this is the film for you! Baby Driver is the new love child of Edgar Wright, known for his smash hit Cornetto Trilogy, including Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and the other one we don’t really talk about, World’s End. Baby Driver sheds Wright’s former acting duo, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, replacing them with rookie actor Ansel Elgort in the lead role of Baby, a getaway driver. Alongside Elgort is an all-star cast which beefs up an already tantalizing film, including Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx and Jon Bernthal. Next to Elgort is also love interest Debora, played by Lily James. It might not seem like a big deal, but honestly one of my favourite things about this film is that the love story is actually good. It doesn’t feel forced, and is projected in a totally realistic and understandable way; if realistic is driving cars and robbing banks of course. It seems like a small detail, but so many films nowadays overcomplicate their love stories, or just create awful nonsensical ones. Baby Driver is pretty much a movie length music video, which isn’t a bad thing. Nearly every action, such as doors slamming, guns shooting, and tires screeching, are done to the beat of the music playing at the time. Everything is timed perfectly, and you can tell the care that has been put into making it. This in itself resonates very well with me, as although I don’t rob banks myself or have an ear problem, I understand where Baby is coming from. I love having music go to the beat of what I’m doing, and if it’s not, I’ll change what I’m doing so it is to the beat. The motivation of Baby is clear, with exposition being simply dropped through conversation, or through snippets of artistic flashbacks. You really feel for baby, as you know his struggle is honest and important to him, not just some unmotivated kill fest. The important thing this film does really well though is the characters. They’re written well, and there comedy is perfect, timed with the music and beats of the story. I don’t laugh out loud often in films, and if I do it’s if a lot of people are around, but for Baby Driver there was only about ten of us, and we we’re laughing all the way through. Good characters are likeable, and mean characters are likeable, that’s how convincing everyone in the film is written and acted. Of course, special mention needs to be given to the star, Ansel Elgort. Known for Fault in our Stars and the Divergent Series, Elgort has really come out of his shell in Baby Driver. His performance is perfectly timed, down to the second with his movements, and all in all is an enthralling display of acting. Even minor characters in the film are well made and funny, like the post office lady and the old lady Baby hijacks. The music isn’t the only production value which shines in this film. The long shots and actual shooting of the music based scenes are easily standouts in the film, being the most exciting and tense, as well as just a jam session. I found the start of the film quite segmented. However it works in the grand scheme of things in setting up the world that Baby resides in clearly. The film also has some shocks in it, which I wasn’t expecting, such as truly brutal violence at times. The film doesn’t take no nonsense, meaning nothing is taken lightly or played out unrealistically. Baby’s and the other characters’ fates, as bank robbers, do not end riding into the sunset. All in all the film is just a fun time, and is one of the few that you’re simultaneously holding your breath, laughing and going, “wow, how did they do that?” The overall production values are top notch, making the film look sublime. The role of the antagonist changes constantly, meaning it's never just one person. This adds some real dimension to characters, showing like people, they can change. Some great throwbacks to Wright's older projects are put in, including one relating to the music video the film is based on. I highly recommend this film to nearly anyone. If you just want a good time with a bunch of laughs with a killer soundtrack, and can put up with some brutal violence, this is the film you didn't know you were waiting for.

Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
In Episode 56 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. and Freddy Yaniz catch up some popular recent releases, namely writer/director Edgar Wright's pseudo-action musical Baby Driver and Illumination Entertainment's latest Minion-fest Despicable Me 3. Then, it's on to the battle between humans and apes in the trilogy-capping War for the Planet of the Apes. Andy Serkis reprises his lead role as ape leader Caesar -- thanks to the miracle of motion-capture technology -- as the character faces a fearsome new adversary in The Colonel (Woody Harrelson). Of course, this marks the ninth entry in the long-running Planet of the Apes franchise, but director Matt Reeves' film truly marks a conclusion to the storyline that began in 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes and continued in Reeves' own Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. But will this third installment in the rebooted series be its finest hour yet? War for the Planet of the Apes synopsis courtesy of 20th Century Fox: In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel (Woody Harrelson). After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet. We're excited to hear your feedback as the show continues to evolve. As usual, the podcast does feature explicit language and, as such, is best considered NSFW. Thanks for listening!

This week we have the return of Edgar Wright with his feature-length adaptation of a music video concept Baby Driver, and the arrival of Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe. First cab off the rank has Stevie and Emmet discuss whether Wright's technically stunning car heist movie succeeds. Is this a genuinely original film, or simply a parody of 1970s B-movies? Next Spider-Man returns to high school with a younger cast and a passing of the torch from Robert Downey Junior's franchise leader Iron Man. Does the Marvel Studios endorsed webslinger enliven the prospect of an IP relaunched for the third time in fifteen years? And in next week's episode we will definitely not be talking about superheroes!
Bananas... and Ron recaps Baby Driver, about a deaf kid who loves music and car chases, starring Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Lily James, Kevin Spacey, and Jamie Foxx. Also: A Cure for Wellness, Ted Raimi, Avatar 2, and Hacksaw Ridge. *MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD*
This week we talk about Edgar Wright's much-anticipated next film about a young getaway driver that curates a soundtrack to his life by way of an iPod. Only just the right song will do for anything from getting coffee to evading the cops in downtown Atlanta. This action film has great practical stunts, good chemistry between the leads and 2 Oscar winners (Spacey and Foxx). It's Josh's favorite movie of the year, so far!

Sarah Mason and Jake Essoe of The Harold & Maudecast review the film BABY DRIVER, written and directed by Edgar Wright (SHAUN OF THE DEAD) starring Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Lily James, Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm. Baby (Elgort) is a reluctant yet talented wheel man coerced into driving for crime boss Doc (Spacey) to pay off an old debt. Baby's unique use of music makes him unstoppable behind the wheel but draws suspicion from the crew. When Baby meets the woman of his dreams, Deborah (Lily James) he must decide how much he's willing to risk before it's too late for a new life. BABY DRIVER is the not your usual bank heist, action film. It's highly stylized and makes clever use of its soundtrack--which is essentially the other lead character in the film. Edgar Wright, who along with collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost gave us the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ and AT WORLD'S END, makes an uncommon but brilliant transition to action genre proving once again, a good film is all about the writing. The story drives this picture along with some great performances. With one fell swoop Elgort graduates from teen drama prince (THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, The DIVERGENT SERIES) to Oscar worthy actor. He's fantastic as the questionably quirky, music dependent orphan whose found his way out of his hard luck circumstances with love. We highly recommend this film. Go see it in theaters it warrants a big screen view. 8.6/10 For more reviews visit www.thehmcnetwork.com

They dive into all the possibilities and implications of this new Star Wars offshoot. As if that weren't enough sci-fi, John and Tim then review the Alex Garland film Ex Machina. Is it worth watching or do we say "domo arigato, Ms. Roboto?" Next time around we'll be critiquing the Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort starrer The Fault In Our Stars.
