...They wanted something for nothing. He gave them nothing for something.” So goes the tagline for “Color Me Kubrick: A True…ish Story.” The inversion wittily exposes the vanity of the many Britons duped by Alan Conway, a man who spent much of the 1990s pretending to be Stanley Kubrick. The tagline is more apt, however, as a warning for the film. Essentially plotless, “Color Me Kubrick”—a fictionalized account of the Conway affair—is little more than...
...Rich finds humor amid the darkest of scenarios: a lonely math teacher’s test questions (“5. A math teacher is frightened 95% of the time. How many hours a day is he frightened?

...bare shoulder flashes on the screento the riffs of a flamenco guitar. A feminine hand on an unclothed waist follows, and the gorgeous face of a dark-haired woman appears with--yikes!--all her wrinkles in living color.

"Armies realized they could put artists' knowledge of form, perspective and color to use," says James Taylor, historian at the Imperial War Museum. So the dislocations of Cubism (Jacques Villon and Marcel Duchamp served as camoufleurs) were a huge influence, as were the visual disruptions of Vorticism in the Dazzle patterns applied to Allied ships during World War I. Dazzle made it hard...
...Black Fluted Mega range by Karen Kjaeldgard-Larsen for Royal Copenhagen Kjaeldgard-Larsen was just 26 when she revamped the venerable Blue Fluted pattern for Royal Copenhagen (est. 1775) in 2000. After that success, her Mega range was extended to every fashionista's favorite color. Each piece is hand-painted before glazing - it's as classy as a Crown Princess in a little black dress. www.royalcopenhagen.com
