![]() ![]() Moving on to the characters (best thing about this series), the original FMA focussed mainly on Ed and Al and on their struggles to regain their bodies, whereas Brotherhood also explores other characters to great detail at the same time. This becomes less of a problem as the series progresses, with plenty of new music being introduced to support the story as it reaches the finale. The background music which play during the episodes usually fit very well with the situation, although some tracks seem to be overused a little at first. The majority of the openings/endings are a pleasure to watch due to fantastic animated sequences and theme songs. The voice acting is of an excellent and consistent quality, and I think that pretty much all the characters have voice actors which suit their personalities. The various battles are consistently exciting to watch, but somehow get even better towards the end of the series. ![]() The action scenes are brilliant and VERY well animated, with a variety of alchemy techniques and other talents being displayed nearly every episode. The facial emotions of the characters are also perfectly presented. ![]() Compared to the original FMA it's a bit simpler but that's just because the original set a very high standard to follow. The animation in FMA Brotherhood is crisp and very well done (although it does sometimes dip a bit in quality). By the final episode, all loose ends are neatly tied up and what's left is a hugely satisfying epilogue. The plot is full of clever ideas and unpredictable twists that link various parts of the story together. However, after trying to look at it from the perspective of someone who's new to FMA (not comparing it to the manga nor the original), I believe that the pacing works and it manages to tell an intriguing story effectively with little confusion. Events that took up half a volume of the manga and had spread though a few episodes of the original anime were now shown in just a single episode. I admit that as I've seen the original and read the manga, the pacing of Brotherhood seems to start off being VERY fast (I finally got used to the pacing after That myth should be dispelled, as there's only one word to describe this series - EPIC. Brotherhood is meant to be a remake of the original, this time sticking to the manga all the way through, but there were people who thought it would spoil the franchise. After years of training, the Elric brothers set off on a quest to restore their bodies by locating the Philosopher's Stone-a powerful gem that allows an alchemist to defy the traditional laws of Equivalent Exchange.Īs Edward becomes an infamous alchemist and gains the nickname "Fullmetal," the boys' journey embroils them in a growing conspiracy that threatens the fate of the world.įirst of all, I have seen the original FMA and although it was very popular and original, the pacing and conclusion did not sit too well with me. Known as a bio-mechanical engineering prodigy, Winry creates prosthetic limbs for Edward by utilizing "automail," a tough, versatile metal used in robots and combat armor. The brothers are rescued by their neighbor Pinako Rockbell and her granddaughter Winry. Instead, they suffered brutal personal loss: Alphonse's body disintegrated while Edward lost a leg and then sacrificed an arm to keep Alphonse's soul in the physical realm by binding it to a hulking suit of armor. Ignoring the alchemical principle banning human transmutation, the boys attempted to bring their recently deceased mother back to life. After a horrific alchemy experiment goes wrong in the Elric household, brothers Edward and Alphonse are left in a catastrophic new reality. ![]()

![]() ![]() But over time the absolute irrelevance of the force-fitted songs and comedy in such films is getting more obvious. One could argue that we are conditioned to this format of making them. Anushka seemed just as uncomfortable as those watching when Jagapathi Babu tickles her with a feathered quill in Vayyari Kalahamsika.Īll said and done, K Raghavender Rao has in the last couple of decades has created a monopoly in making mainstream devotional movies. Particularly in those cheesy romantic songs. It’s time we stopped forcing Anushka dance against her style. Having said that, some of the other songs in the movie too like Pareeksha were meant to add drama to the situation but only ended up looking like a low-cost music video. But not before moving her hips to a romancing and flower-throwing Nagarjuna.Īlso Read: How Nagarjuna covered tattoo on his shoulder for Om Namo Venkatesaya? Pragya Jaiswal’s role as Bhavani is over before you even notice it. Anushka in the scenes where her acting prowess has to shine through, delivers effortlessly. And with Saurabh it looks like Tollywood has found its new go-to actor to play God. Nagarjuna is his usual best in the role of a devotee and particularly nails the emotional scenes. While the other artistes too play their roles convincingly in the little screen time they get, Nag and Saurabh certainly stole the spotlight and rightfully so. If you just focussed on the story of Raama’s bhakti and Lord Venkateswara’s (Saurabh Raj Jain) divinity, you will be absorbed into the drama. Despite the predictability, the film does keep you engaged more or less. No complaints! It has always worked and judging by the audience leaving the theatre with their palms folded in prayer, it looks like it has worked this time too. This has been the story progression for all of KRR and Nagarjuna’s devotional flicks so far. The protagonist giving up worldly possessions to seek God, corrupt administrators obstruct his endeavours of bringing back Tirumala’s glory, thus becoming God’s favourite devotee, until finally the Lord graces him with a viswaroopa darsanam in the climax. The story arc is exactly the same as the earlier flicks. This time it was Hathiram Baba’s turn to tap the devotional side of Telugu audiences. And it upholds the same effect that Annamayya and Sri Ramadasu had had on the audiences. ![]() Movie Review : Om Namo Venkatesaya is that occasional Nag-KRR devotional fix that Tollywood expects every now and then. His endeavours to do so, the hurdles and his encounters with the Lord himself is the story. He decides to change the face of Tirumala by turning it into ‘Kaliyuga Vaikuntham’ both for pilgrims and the deity with the help of Krishnamma (Anushka). Story : Raama (Nagarjuna) who is a devotee of Lord Venkateswara denounces worldly pleasures including his soon-to-be-bride and maradalu Bhavani (Pragya Jaiswal) and ends up at Tirumala. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There was no “great leap forward” (contra Diamond, 1991). The twists and turns, booms and busts, carefully uncovered over the past decade in (geography/climate-aware) archaeology ( Scerri et al., 2014, 2018, 2019 Groucutt et al., 2021 Kaboth-Bahr et al., 2021 Foerster et al., 2022 Gosling et al., 2022), alongside the numerous instances of gene flow across species that can be inferred from ancient genomes ( Bergström et al., 2021), leave little room for doubt. I have argued elsewhere ( Boeckx, 2017b, 2021 Martins and Boeckx, 2019 de Boer et al., 2020) that an entire class of evolutionary narratives exemplified by Berwick and Chomsky (2016), which posit one or a few key changes at the level of the genome and the brain that are claimed to have sparked a recent cognitive revolution in our lineage, have lost their initial conceptual appeal because the evolutionary trajectory of our lineage is clearly vastly much more complex than we used to think even just two decades ago. We can ask the same question about the evolution of language and its contribution to the human condition: knowing what we know now about human evolution, and in particular having access to high-quality genomes of our closest extant and extinct relatives ( Meyer et al., 2012 Prüfer et al., 2014, 2017 Mafessoni et al., 2020), are there positions along the spectrum of possible hypotheses regarding the evolution of language and cognition that we can now safely put aside as wrong or so implausible as not to be worthy of serious consideration? It seems clear that many (bad) ideas would have been discarded from the get-go if such evidence had been available back when these ideas began to be formulated. In an interesting thought experiment, Rutherford asks what would have happened to some arguments if, back in the eighteenth century we had known about the range of genetic facts now in our possession. Just like these other traits just mentioned, language may not be this entirely unique and antecedent-free capacity, as it is sometimes claimed to be ( Anderson, 2004 Berwick and Chomsky, 2016), but it is certainly a very salient trait of our species.Īccordingly, I will be focusing on language in this Perspective, examining its nature with a view to shedding light on the “human condition.” I will do so from an evolutionary and interdisciplinary angle, inspired by the sort of question raised by Rutherford (2020) in another context (and with another focus). Language looks to us pretty much like what the trunk is to the elephant, the neck to the giraffe, and echolocation to bats. It makes sense to focus on it in trying to define who we are. It is the most common currency for our daily social transactions. There is also a sizeable literature implicating “language” in the answer to the question of “what makes us human?” Again, this is not too surprising: language use lies at the center of much of what we do as a species. As a species we have a remarkable ability to reflect on objects and events, and it is only natural to apply this ability to ourselves. ![]() There is no shortage of books or papers addressing the question of “what makes us human?” This should not come as a surprise. Framing: Beyond “modern” and “archaic/ancestral” In particular, I hypothesize that these different trajectories influence the development of symbolic systems, the flexible ways in which symbols combine, and the size and configurations of the communities in which these systems are put to use.ġ. This paper makes three interconnected claims: (i) the “human condition” cannot be captured by evolutionary narratives that reduce it to a recent ‘cognitive modernity', nor by narratives that eliminates all cognitive differences between us and out closest extinct relatives, (ii) signals from paleogenomics, especially coming from deserts of introgression but also from signatures of positive selection, point to the importance of mutations that impact neurodevelopment, plausibly leading to temperamental differences, which may impact cultural evolutionary trajectories in specific ways, and (iii) these trajectories are expected to affect the language phenotypes, modifying what is being learned and how it is put to use. 3Catalan Institute for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA), Barcelona, Spain.2Institute of Complex Systems, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.1Section of General Linguistics, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set up the kids with easels, paints, paintbrushes, and cups of water for rinsing the brushes. ![]() You could use this as a party activity at a Cinderella-themed birthday party. PaintingsĪ cute (and potentially messy, so you’ve been warned!) craft for which to use my Cinderella coloring pages is as the template for painting! If you’re a teacher or daycare provider, you can then have the children put the pieces into plastic baggies and swap them with their neighbors. Then they’ll cut out the pieces, following the lines they drew. The older the kids, the smaller the pieces can be. Then, depending on their ages, either you or they will take a black Sharpie and draw roughly puzzle-shaped designs directly onto the illustrations. You might want to reinforce the sheet with posterboard pasted to the back. Have the kids pick out the illustration they want to turn into a puzzle and color it in. Puzzles are quick and easy, and they’re a great activity if you’re leading a classroom of young students. Then they can cut out the figures (or groups of figures) and place them on the walls, hanging from the ceiling, by the food, on the tables, etc. Starting a few weeks beforehand, have your child color in various illustrations, making sure to get all the characters – yes, even the evil stepmother! In keeping with the party theme, why not encourage your child to have a Cinderella-themed birthday party – and have them pitch in on the decorations? You can glue the figure to the front of the bag – or do two figures and cover the front and the back.Įither way, it’s a cute personalization to jazz up any old boring gift bag. Then have them cut out the figure carefully, following along the outline of their shape. If the gift you’re giving is too large or oddly shaped to be wrapped, consider instead using my Cinderella coloring pages as the decoration on a gift bag.Įncourage your child to color in the central figure(s) of whichever illustration they choose – whether it’s Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother, the Mice, or even the glass slipper. That should leave you with the main character front and center on the wrapped gift. Just have your little one color in the page and then center the box in the middle, with the illustration facing downward. You can print out the illustration of her choice on 8.5 x 11” paper, or if you have the printer capabilities, you can go larger for slightly bigger boxes. Wrapping Paperįor small gift boxes, like jewelry, why not have your little one do the wrapping in the paper that she colored? Be sure to write a sweet message on the inside, and because it’s such a cute little keepsake, consider adding the date on the back! 9. Then have your little one color in the picture, as per usual. From there, you’ll fold it over, end to end, once, and then fold it over again – so the illustration is on top.

I didn’t build this system, nor did I fuck it up.” But is the source of Rue’s troubles her own psychic makeup, or, simply, the way we live now? “I was born three days after 9/11,” she drones affectlessly, as images of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers play on a delivery-room TV, in a flashback. Rue is a pill addict fresh out of rehab, following an overdose, but, as she insists in the show’s pilot, she has “no intention of staying clean.” Her father died when she was fourteen, compounding a host of mental-health issues that she had been struggling with-and receiving medication for-since early childhood: O.C.D., generalized anxiety disorder, possible bipolar disorder. The series is narrated by the seventeen-year-old Rue, played by the former Disney child star Zendaya, tangle-haired and pie-eyed in the role. ![]() He struggled with drug dependency in his youth, and seems to have converted his personal experience into the show’s operatic vision. Levinson is thirty-seven, and the son of the film director Barry Levinson. The show, which is based on an Israeli series of the same name, was created in 2019 by Sam Levinson, for HBO. A grab bag of music-video-style moments, satirical pastiches, druggy fantasy sequences, quasi-pornographic sexual encounters, and high-octane action scenes, “Euphoria” is a stomach-turning, hectic, maximalist experience: an audacious mess that, if not always pleasurable, is impossible to dismiss or look away from. This is about as close as television gets to endurance art. The first episode of Season 2 contains one erect penis and two flaccid ones, a drug-dealing grandmother in hot pants, a girl shooting up in a car, a twelve-year-old with face tattoos, some bathroom coitus, a near-overdose on opioids-thwarted by a snort of Adderall-and a baby eating cigarette butts. The teen drama “Euphoria,” which is now in its second season, airs once a week: a lucky thing, since even a single episode of the series can feel like a binge. ![]() ![]() NOTICE: This game is already pre-installed for you, meaning you don’t have to install it. ![]() Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012) Size: 6.14 GB Don’t forget to run the game as administrator.
