LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

    MTV’S NEWS & DOCUMENTARIES DEPARTMENT PRESENTS TRUE LIFE: I’m in an Interfaith Relationship Relationships can be tough but, what happens when the person you love doesn’t share the same faith as you do? Can the differences ever be put aside? With over 4,000 known religions in the world, from traditional faith to new age beliefs, interfaith relationships are very common. For some people faith and religion is instilled from a very early age and usually lasts a lifetime. For others, faith is found later in life. Either way, there is not much that will make these individuals change or compromise their religion and faith…not even meeting the love of their life. Are you currently dating someone who doesn’t share the same religious background as you? Do your family and friends not understand? If you appear between the ages of 18-28 and you want to share the challenges and benefits of being in an interfaith relationship, we want to hear from you. Please email your contact info, recent pictures of you and your loved one, and explanation of your current relationship to [email protected]. True Life wants to experience your interfaith relationship from your point of view. Since 1998, True Life, an Emmy Award winning documentary series, has covered a diverse mix of stories, ranging from pop culture trends to breaking news topics. Whether documenting the lives of soldiers going to war, or people undergoing plastic surgery -- True Life tells its stories solely from the varied voices and points-of-view of its characters -- putting the series in the unique position of reflecting the state of youth culture at any given moment.

    Baltimore Tattoo shop makes week 9 exit Posted by TBNDavid On 08/09/2017 On the ninth episode of “Ink Master,” Season 1 Veteran Tommy Helm and Marvin Silva of Empire State Studio (Amityville, NY) entered the competition. Following a flash challenge in which contestants demonstrated proportion by applying plaster to a large canvas to create a relief sculpture, an old classic art form, they then had to design Pin-Up Girl tattoos. In the end, the judges felt that Pinz and Needles (Baltimore, MD) did not have what it takes to be the next “Ink Master Master Shop.” After the ninth week of competition the shops left competing are: • Allegory Arts – Florence, AL o Ulyss Blair (@Ulyss_Blair) - Co-owner/Artist o Eva Huber (@eva_jean) – Co-owner/Artist • Artistic Skin Designs – Indianapolis, IN o April Nicole (@April_Nicole) – Artist o Dane Smith (@danesmithtattoo) – Artist • Basilica Tattoo – Las Vegas, NV o Christian Buckingham (@ChristianBuckingham) – Co-owner/Artist o Noelin Wheeler (@Noelin.Tattoo) – Artist • Black Cobra Tattoos – Sherwood, AR o Katie McGowan (@katietattoos) – Artist o Matt O’Baugh (@mattobaugh) – Owner • Classic Trilogy Tattoo – Syracuse, NY o Thom Bulman (@Bulman_Tattoos) – Owner/Artist o Derek Zielinski (@derek_zielinski_artist) – Artist • Empire State Studio – Amityville, NY o Tommy Helm (@tommyhelmart) – Owner o Marvin Silva (@iammarvinsilva) – Artist • Old Town Ink – Scottsdale, AZ o Bubba Irwin (@Bubbaitattoos) – Artist o DJ Tambe (@djtambe) – Artist • Unkindness Art – Richmond, VA o Erin Chance (@ErinChanceTattoo) – Owner/Artist o Doom Kitten (@doomkitten) – Artist Coming up on the next episode of “Ink Master” on Tuesday, August 15 at 10pm ET/PT – The final Veteran shop returns to fight for the first ever title of Master Shop and skull picks are key to the precision strike leveled at the opposing alliance.

    13EXODUS: CONTO E RECONTOS Long walks, incredible journeys: popular fantasies of escape and returning home Caminhadas longas, jornadas incríveis: fantasias populares de fuga e de regresso a casa Anthony Barker University of Aveiro [email protected] Palavras -chave: gulag, fuga, fraude, regresso a casa. Keywords: gulag, escape, fraud, home-coming. When I was 8 years old, I was taken to see a Disney movie called The Incre- dible Journey (1963). It concerns a Canadian family who are given the chance to live and work in England temporarily. In order to do so they have to leave their three pets, two dogs and a cat, in the care of a friend. A mix-up occurs and the animals are lost. What then follows is an immense trek of three pets across the plains and forests of north-west Ontario to be eventually reunited with their now returned owners many months later and nearly 400 kilometers away to the west. Disney began making films of this type (what it called “True-Life Adventures”) in 1953 with the documentary The Living Desert. In 1957, the same film unit swi- tched over to making what it now called, somewhat oxymoronically, “True-Life Fantasies.” The Incredible Journey, based on the 1961 children’s novel of the same name by Sheila Burnford, was the fourth in a sequence of these. To an 8-year-old, the finely-developed homing instincts of cats and dogs were a source of both great delight and perplexity. Even at that age, the story only seemed to have any point, any sense of uplift, if it were true.

On Feb. 27th, the PTSA hosted the annual talent show in the PAC, raising a total of $2,132 dollars. Snacks were sold as well as “shout-outs” where Mrs.Mitchell and Mr.Clark read them on stage in between performances. Clark said it was “impressive how dynamic the student body is and how supportive the crowd was. Mitchell and I had a blast doing the show!” Junior Regene Odon said, “I rehearsed just as much as I would for any other performance.” He sang “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. Sophomore Michelle Finn performed “Over My Head” by The Fray with Marlea Maltz. Finn said, “We had a lot of fun doing it… it was so, so cool to be a part of.” Junior Kennard Johnston said, “I felt extremely nervous in the beginning with the anticipation of messing up but after I began I relaxed and sang and played just fine.” John- ston played piano and sang “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys. Junior Alex Mayer performed magic tricks by making metal rods magically bend and then asked Mr.Clark to accompany him for the next part of his act. Mayer had Clark sign his name on a newspaper and Mayer proceeded to rip the paper into smaller and smaller pieces and eventually put those same pieces back into its original form, amazing the crowd.

  • Ink Master: Angels': New, All-Women Series Is "Inspiring," Showrunner Says by Amanda Buckle June 2017
    https://mic.com/articles/178923/ink-master-angels-new-all-women-series-is-inspiring- showrunner-says#.q1nb1r7bX 'Ink Master: Angels': New, all-women series is "inspiring," showrunner says By Amanda Buckle June 2017 Ink Master alums Ryan Ashley, Kelly Doty, Nikki Simpson and Gia Rose are here to stay. The tattoo artists proved to be top competitors in season eight of the Spike reality series and in March, the network announced that the women would be returning for their own one-hour special, Ink Master: Angels. On Monday Spike revealed that the special has now been turned into a series. Ink Master: Angels will consist of 10 episodes and debut this fall. The series will follow Ryan, Kelly, Nikki and Gia as they "travel the country and go head-to- head with some of America's most talented tattoo artists." The twist is that the competitors facing the four women will be fighting for a spot on season 10 of Ink Master, which will debut in 2018. The announcement doesn't come as a big surprise as Ink Master pulled in a 57% female audience for its eighth season — the largest number of female viewers in franchise history. The eighth season also crowned Ryan Ashley as its first female winner. For Ink Master showrunner and executive producer Andrea Richter, the idea to bring the women back came together "pretty quickly." "It's interesting having been there and filmed them for the first time and seeing all of them meet for the first time and bond," Richter said. "I think it was an obvious choice.
