Gaultier showed an equally commercial collection of slouchy athletic-inspired dresses over neon-bright fishnet stockings. Like Galliano, Gaultier has never been at a loss for ideas. And he celebrated his 30th anniversary in fashion by marching every one of those bad-boy notions down his runway--from the prescient 1976 leather motorcycle-jacket look to Madonna's cone-bra dress. Every look came off as current, which is why Gaultier is so good. He knows how to break the rules and keep his clothes classic. Fashion could do worse when looking for a new engine: create that which...
...this is just an additional layer. The film itself is an intensely prescient and entertaining look at the power of television to mesmerize America, showing the new technological version of “bread and circuses” years before the Kennedy-Nixon debates proved that someone’s television performance could be decisive in a national election...
...Offspring of Dragons celebrates the glory of a mighty civilization. "There's a dragon in the ancient East, its name is China," go the folk song's stirring lyrics. By the time the final standings were tallied in the Olympic competition, the Zhangs' choice of music seemed particularly prescient. Although Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin won the 12th consecutive pairs gold for Russia (or, previously, the Soviet Union), the Chinese nabbed the silver (Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao), bronze (Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo) and fourth place (Pang Qing and Tong Jian)?all in a sport China first entered little...
...like how websites link to one another. That delivered far better results than anything else. Brin and Page meant to name their creation Googol (the mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes), but someone misspelled the word so it stuck as Google. They raised money from prescient professors and venture capitalists, and moved off campus to turn Google into a business. Perhaps their biggest stroke of luck came early on when they tried to license their technology to other search engines, but no one met their price, and they built it up on their...
...jumped on the remixwagon. The results are tepid, at best.“Guero” was unjustly derided. It was a grower. It had to be seen in all its aspects before it could be properly understood, and was shot down by the critical establishment (the ever-prescient Crimson excepted) before critics could let its time-bombs go off inside their brains. It was basically a great remix album already; Beck and the Dust Brothers took all the scattered bits of his past, added new verses, and amped up the hooks to eleven.Maybe that’s why virtually...
