It’s rather nice compared with having to answer a million questions a day when you’re directing. Acting is nice because you get given what to wear, told where to stand, and told what to say. He was fairly smart then, and he’s gone on to prove it many times with Doctor Who and Sherlock. Press Gang was so beautifully crafted and written by Steven Moffat. Paul Reynolds turns up in Eddie the Eagle. Charlie Creed-Miles went on to play the lead in Wild Bill. The series Press Gang was great fun, again in the company of great actors. One of my earliest recollections is, aged six, sitting on her knee and her being very nice to me, saying: “Ooh, aren’t you lovely?” Then I did a film called Steptoe and Son Rise Again with Diana Dors. I started in a road-safety film when I was six years old with Todd Carty and Jon Pertwee, who was Doctor Who at the time. It’s amazing to think I’ve been in this business for 50 years. Well, any admiration is gratefully received, so I’m thrilled. You have three distinct, separate modes – icon of British kids’ TV, celebrated Hollywood actor and regarded director. We had a lot of fun.įletcher, right, with (l to r) Mmoloki Chrystie, Kelda Holmes, Paul Reynolds, Gabrielle Anwar, Lee Ross and Julia Sawalha in Press Gang (1989). I got on the wrong end of that a couple of times, but sometimes being shouted and screamed at can be good for you when you think everything’s roses. It was this crazy film and I didn’t really understand what was going on a lot of the time, but Ken would shout and scream at people a lot. How did that c ome about and what was it like working with him? TheFall2007 You had a role in Ken Russell’s fantastic film Gothic. You weren’t so bad yourself.” He said: “Yes, but I was supposed to be.” He said: “I never said to you at the time, Dexter, but you were really rather good in Elephant Man.” I said: “That’s very kind of you. Years later, I went to a lunch and was seated next to John. My last day of filming was my 14th birthday, and they gave me a cake with a Disneyfied elephant on it, which I thought was strange because John Hurt did not look like Dumbo in any way. He would just point the camera at me and let me do stuff. I’m not going to see anyone else,” so I liked him for that. I went to the audition and he said: “You’ve got the job. What are your memories of working with John Hurt and David Lynch on The Elephant Man? carffion23ĭavid Lynch was very generous, funny, quirky, nerdy, artistic, creative and wore a Crombie and big hat.

My hair was being cut off like a bowl and Jodie Foster made a moustache out of it. I remember watching Vivienne McKone, who plays Velma, do her dance number from the side of the stage. Pinewood had this incredible co-joined set where you could literally walk from the street, through the bookstore into the speakeasy. I was only on set for four days, but I do remember them quite vividly considering I was only nine. Was being in Bugsy Malone as much fun as it looked? EddieChorepost It gave the film that extra edge that I am also proud of. Keep it as honed and faithful as it can be.” Having had my own struggles in the past meant it was something I could speak of with a certain amount of authority. With Rocketman, Elton was very clear: “Let’s not glamourise it. I just came in and barked orders at people, and the film turned out rather well, so I’m very proud of that. I was brought on to Bohemian Rhapsody while we were rehearsing and prepping on Rocketman. My wife is an opera director she’d seen the musical and said: “You should do this because no one would expect that.” When things like Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody come along, I’m very interested in exploring those challenges. Sunshine on Leith was the most deliberate choice, because after directing my first film, the London gangster film Wild Bill, I got offered lots in a similar vein.

It’s an interesting system that makes Persona 4 Arena feel quite different from any other fighter. Once all cards are gone your Persona will need to recover, leaving your options severely hampered for a time. There are four blue card icons at the bottom of the screen, and if your Persona is hit while using a move you’ll lose a card. Each character’s combos are split between light and heavy attacks and Persona attacks, which tend to be stronger. The game’s most unique element comes with the actual Personas, which have two dedicated face buttons for moves. There are 22 different characters, each with their own unique moveset that fills some kind of fighting game archetype, like grapplers and item-based characters. Of course, the real attraction here is the fighting, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax manages to strike a good balance between accessibility and depth. Still, it is a direct sequel that provides a ton of context on where the cast of both games end up, and the writing is absolutely top-notch. Interestingly, it also gives a voice to Persona 4’s protagonist, who absolutely nails a dry sense of humor.ĭon’t go in expecting the complexity of the mainline games, however, as Persona 4 Arena’s story is a straightforward, albeit charming, visual novel story broken up by the occasional fight. Following suit from Persona 4, the story in the Arena games tends to be a bit light-hearted and has some genuinely great humor. The story is fully voiced by the cast of Persona 4, and the bigger surprise is the returning characters from Persona 3, including Yukari, Ken, Mitsuru, Akihiko, Junpei, and Aigis. Just like with the original release, this version contains the story mode of both Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, which was a pseudo-sequel and re-release. Developed by Arc System Works, of Guilty Gear fame, Persona 4 Arena almost perfectly adapts the ideas of Persona into a fighting game formula and wraps it all in a heartfelt story. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a direct sequel to the beloved Persona 4, and its re-release on modern consoles is the perfect time to jump into this overlooked gem. Just when life was getting back to normal the Midnight Channel blazed back to life with a gaudy video about a fighting tournament, granting Yu Narukami the esteemed title of “Sister-Complex Kingpin of Steel.” Immersive in-cockpit, physics-driven sound environment from A2A-engineered recordingsĬomplete maintenance hangar internal systems and detailed engine tests including compression checks Persistent aircraft where systems, corrosion, and temperatures are simulated even when the computer is off Accu-Sim monitors the amount of fuel injected and its effectiveness to start and run the engine.

Perhaps most importantly, the Comanche does not achieve its performance by the intrinsic design features which compromise stable flying characteristics. It is a highly capable heavy load hauler and its capacious useful load as well as its ability to safely carry baggage and substantial rear seat passengers without straining its aft load limits is far better than its closest competitors of equal horsepower – including and specifically the V-tail Beechcraft Bonanza. Neither does the Comanche sacrifice useful load nor its generous weight and balance envelope at the altar of high airspeed. The Comanche is also particularly exceptional in that it does not achieve its excellent aerodynamic performance at the expense of interior room and comfort it is among the roomiest and most comfortable of 'high performance' aeroplanes. The Comanche’s forgiving flight characteristics and its refusal to turn and bite an unwary pilot without plenty of warning, its relatively gentle stall, easy handling at low airspeeds and its overall delightful handling at all airspeeds are confidence boosters for its fortunate pilots. That this is so is not an accident or a fortuitous circumstance – William Piper specifically intended that it should be so. Of all of the high performance GA aircraft the Comanche is arguably the least demanding of the relatively low-time pilot. These two great and rare qualities, beauty and performance would be enough in and of themselves to place the Comanche at the pinnacle of GA aircraft, but the Comanche possesses an additional quality, one which, after all, may be its most endearing. Its superlative performance is a matter of record and this provides its dynamism. The Piper Comanche takes its well-deserved place on an illustrious list of aeroplanes which are both so very pleasing to the eyes and which are equally capable of superior performance.įrom any angle the Comanche treats the eyes. The Comanche 250 proves that this adage may be relied upon and bears validity. In this it is supposed that the eye’s natural ability to sense the pleasing proportion and intrinsic efficiency of a design is a reliable predictor of similarly excellent aeronautic performance. It has been said that if an aeroplane looks right, it will fly right. The unique conjoining of many superlative aeronautic and aesthetic qualities marks this very special aeroplane. No aircraft personifies the epithet 'Dynamic Elegance' more aptly than the Piper Comanche 250.

Super Flower Blood Moon: Amazing photos of the total lunar eclipse of 2021Īlso make sure to let your eyes adjust to the darkness, which will take at least 20 to 30 minutes. Eclipse glossary: Solar eclipses, lunar eclipses and their terms We highly recommended extra battery packs if you are in an especially frigid region, as the cold will drain your equipment capacity quickly. Make sure that all batteries are well-charged. Bring any equipment outside at least half an hour before you expect to use it, to avoid any condensation problems. Given that November is a cold time of year in more northern regions, make sure to dress warmly. A telescope, especially, will allow you to look at craters on the moon. If you want to get a closer look at the "bite" the Earth is taking out of the moon, you can use binoculars or a small telescope. Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is perfectly safe to look at with your eyes. Viewing tips for the lunar eclipseĪ lunar eclipse requires no special equipment to view. You can find more details about your region at the NASA website. Europe and western Africa will see some of the beginning of the eclipse, and central Asia along with the southern Pacific and Australia will see some of the eclipse around moonrise. South America will see most of the eclipse before moonset. The entire sequence is visible for most of North and Central America, along with the far east of Asia, although extreme eastern regions of the Americas may only be able to view the eclipse before the moon exits the umbral phase. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)ĭepending on where you are located, you may not be able to see all of the eclipse. Darker areas indicate greater visibility. This map shows the visibility of the Nov. The animals sing a song of weariness and hope for better days. As the song progresses, puppets of colorful, lively birds give way to vultures and animal skeletons, showing the misery Scar's rule has brought the kingdom. The opening song of Act 2 is best experienced live. "Hakuna matata" is a Swahili phrase that literally translates to "no trouble." "One by One" In the desert, he meets Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog, who teach Simba their motto: "Hakuna matata." "It means no worries for the rest of your days," they sing. In Zulu, she swears to avenge the king's death and affirms that peace and prosperity will still reign supreme in the Pride Lands.ĭevastated by Mufasa's death - and convinced he is to blame - Simba runs away from the Pride Lands. Scar kills Mufasa in the stampede, and Rafiki sings a mournful chant in the aftermath. Only the final line of the song is different: "Baba, wa mi baba wa mi baba wam," which means, "Father, oh my father!" "Rafiki Mourns" The "it" in question is wildebeest as they stampede. This song is another Zulu chant, whose lyrics loosely translate to "Here it comes!" over and over again. "Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared - be prepared!" "The Stampede" "I'll be king undisputed, respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am," Scar sings. This is the first major scene the audience spends with Scar, who raises an army of hyenas to help him usurp the throne from his brother. "Be Prepared" is one of the most beloved Disney villain songs in history, so naturally, it becomes a major number in the musical. This song's title parallels that of a later song with a similar theme, "He Lives in You." "Be Prepared" He tells Simba that all the kings of the past are watching over him from the stars to provide guidance and strength.ĭuring this song, Mufasa takes off the mask he's wearing and lays down his weapons to emphasize that he's not acting as a king in that moment, but as a father giving heartfelt advice to his son. In this song, Mufasa teaches Simba a lesson about obedience and discipline, reminding his son he needs these virtues to be a good king someday. The pair comes face-to-face with hungry hyenas Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, but luckily, Mufasa rescues the cubs before they get eaten. Simba and Nala find out the hard way why certain lands are forbidden. "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" is a classic "I want" number, a common song type in musical theatre where a main character sings about their main goal in the story. The song includes a few lion puns like, "I'm gonna be the 'mane' event like no king was before!" On their journey, Simba boasts to Nala about growing up and ruling the land someday - with no one to tell him what to do. While their moms are away, Simba and Nala see an opportunity to explore the forbidden parts of the Pride Lands. As a group of lionesses go out to hunt, they chant lyrics that translate to, "We, father, are going to hunt, father." Two of those lionesses are Sarabi and Sarafina, the mother of Simba's best friend, Nala. The title of this song, another Zulu chant, says it all. Phrases like "busa ngo thando bo, busa lomhlaba" translate to "rule with love, rule the Earth." "The Lioness Hunt" This song's lyrics are also in Zulu, and they foreshadow Simba's future as king. "Grasslands Chant" underscores his transition from infancy to childhood. The Lion King's action kicks off in earnest once Simba has grown up a little bit. The song's most famous portion is its opening chant: "Nants ingonyama bagithi baba, sithi uhm ingonyama." These lyrics are in the African language Zulu, and they roughly translate to, "Here comes a lion, father. On the Broadway stage, intricate life-size puppetry makes this number especially wondrous to watch. All the animals of the Pride Lands - giraffes, antelopes, zebras, elephants, birds - gather in front of Pride Rock to witness the historic moment. "Circle of Life" takes place as King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi welcome their new cub, Simba. This opening number is recognizable from its first notes. Learn more about all the songs in The Lion King, including fun facts about the fan-favorite tunes and the meanings behind the African lyrics. Multiple songs feature lyrics sung partly or entirely in African languages like Swahili and Zulu, a nod to the cultural traditions from which the story draws. All the hit songs from the film - like "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - remain in the musical, with plenty of new additions. The Lion King's music - penned by Elton John, Tim Rice, and more - has proven especially timeless. As the famous opening number of the musical goes, that's the circle of life. Since The Lion King movie came out in 1994, and the Broadway musical three years later, people who grew up the tale of a young lion cub's journey to kingship have since introduced their own children to the story. But from the press junket the film on for the last 28 years, or 29 years, Gilbert would always (say), “Where’s my song? You never gave me a song!” Menken: Gilbert did not contribute musically (to the film). What about Gilbert Gottfried, who died this year? Robin was actually a very sensitive, nice, sweet man. Then of course when we got to the recording sessions, and after he delivered faithfully exactly what I wanted from the song – that kind of Fats Waller style of singing the songs – then everyone said, “Okay, Robin, can you just go have fun?”Īnd… that was where you just went nuts, because it was Robin “on.” And Robin “on” was incredible. I think he was a little sore from being in the harness on (the 1991 Steven Spielberg movie) “Hook” all day. He wanted to learn every note of “Friend Like Me” and “Prince Ali,” and so we rehearsed it dutifully. Menken: In the (recording) room, Robin (was) a serious artist. Specifically about making the movie and working with the actors: You have previously spoken about what it was like to work with the late Robin Williams. But that (lyric change) was the first spot where we actually said, ‘Okay, we gotta change that.’ There’s always a lot of back and forth about stereotype, and whether it’s the right stereotype and whether, possibly, it could be offensive or whatever. We’re winking at everything and making fun.” We were making fun of a genre, but making fun of a genre clearly can bleed over to making fun of a people.Īlan Menken, seen here this month, spoke to CNN about his memories of working on the animated 'Aladdin.' Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP The really irreverent lyrics were in “Arabian Nights.” Because they were setting up a world and we were saying, “This is our tone. So for the live action movie, when Benj Pasek and Justin Paul were my lyricists, that was adjusted as well. Menken: That was changed as soon as the picture came out.Īnd so we – Howard was gone – so I rewrote it to, “Where it’s hot and immense and the heat is intense, it’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home.” Now, even “barbaric” as an adjective for heat, still was overly sensitive. Did that serve as a hint of things to come, in terms of today’s standards of political correctness, etc.? Rather than remove this continent, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversations to create a more inclusive future together.”ĬNN: I remember at the time, one of the first lyrics in the opening song of the movie, “Arabian Nights” (“Where they cut off your ears if they don’t like your face”), had to be changed for fear of it being insensitive. The stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Disney was not about to (be) caught being PC-insensitive.Įditor’s note: Today, when viewers click on “Aladdin” on Disney+, a message appears first which reads in part, “This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. Anytime you dealt with a stereotype on these pictures, it was very, very, very carefully scrutinized. Wokeness didn’t actually emerge out of nothing, and it’s not like it wasn’t there. I remember when we were starting to do “Aladdin,” (we were) thinking about how (we) really wanted it to be a fun wink at the Hollywood take on the ‘Mysterious East’ and all of that because it had that kind of, I wanted it to have that Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road picture kind of tone to it, or the crazy wacky Fleischer cartoons. Part of the (reason) it was shelved, it was very irreverent, even more irreverent than it became, and there was a lot of concern about how it would affect Arab sensibilities. This conversation has been condensed and lightly edited for clarity.ĬNN: When it came to the development of “Aladdin,” was there a sense of hesitation at Disney in how to tell this story?Īlan Menken, composer: “Aladdin” was started almost simultaneously with “(The Little) Mermaid.” While we were still working on “Mermaid,” we had started “Aladdin,” had a whole take on it and it was shelved. The accomplished composer also reflects on how Disney, as a studio, dealt with the portrayal of the Far East in the film and how a previous in-development version was in fact shelved due to concerns that predated cancel culture by decades. While the film is beloved by many – not only for how it showcases the vocal prowess of the late Robin Williams – Menken says none of it would have been possible without his late lyricist partner, Howard Ashman, whom he called “not replaceable.” To mark the occasion, eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, who nabbed two statuettes for his work on the movie, spoke with CNN about his memories from the making of the prescient classic. It might be hard to believe, but this holiday weekend marks 30 years since the release of “Aladdin” – the animated classic that set the stage for multiple sequels, a live-action reimagining released in 2019 and even a Broadway musical. In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the search results pane covers both columns of the Start menu. The Run command can also be added separately to the right column in the Start menu. Since the found items can be immediately opened, the Start menu search box partially replaces the function of the Run command from previous versions of Windows. The search box features incremental search: If indexing is not turned off, the search box returns results on-the-fly as users type into it. Also added in Windows Vista is a Search box that allows users to search for the Start menu shortcuts or other files and folders. This menu presents a tree view of its hierarchy that expands towards the bottom, with a vertical scrollbar whenever needed. Whenever the All Programs item is clicked, the contents of the left pane slide off the left edge of the Start menu, and the All Programs menu slides in from the right edge of the left column. In Windows Vista, however, cascading menus were replaced by a sliding window in the left pane of the Start menu. Prior to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the Start menu consisted of a group of menus and sub-menus that cascaded and expanded, obscuring the initially visible portions of the screen beneath them. Windows Vista and its successors added minor changes to the menu. However, it is absent in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and other later Windows releases. This version of the Start menu is also available in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Items could also be simply added to the Start menu by dragging and dropping them.Īlthough Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 introduced a new version of Start menu, they offered the ability to switch back to this version of Start menu. Later developments in Internet Explorer and subsequent Windows releases make it possible to customize the Start menu and to access and expand Internet Explorer Favorites, My Documents and Administrative Tools ( Windows 2000 and later) from the Start menu. The menu also offered the ability to shut down and log off from their computer. The latter was comparable in some respects with the Apple menu in Mac OS and did not have the mentioned limitations of Program Manager: Being a menu, it allowed nested grouping while keeping only one group open at the time. Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 replaced the Program Manager with the desktop and Start menu. It lacked the ability to nest groups within other groups. Program Manager consisted of a simple multiple document interface (MDI) which allowed users to open separate "program groups" and then execute the shortcuts to programs contained within. It was made to overcome the shortcomings of Program Manager in previous operating systems. The Start menu first appeared in Windows 95. In Microsoft Windows, the Start menu in some form appears in Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0 and all subsequent versions in the Windows NT family, as well as Windows CE, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone. Until Windows Vista, the Start menu was constantly expanded across the screen as the user navigated through its cascading sub-menus. Windows XP's Start menu was expanded to encompass various My Documents folders (including My Music and My Pictures), and transplanted other items like My Computer and My Network Places from the Windows desktop. Later enhancements via Windows Desktop Update included access to special folders such as "My Documents" and "Favorites" (browser bookmarks). Traditionally, the Start menu provided a customizable nested list of programs for the user to launch, as well as a list of most recently opened documents, a way to find files and obtain assistance, and access to the system settings. It has been co-opted by some operating systems (like ReactOS) and Linux desktop environments for providing a more Windows-like experience, and as such is, for example, present in KDE, with the name of Kickoff Application Launcher, and on Xfce with the name of Whisker Menu. The Start menu was renamed Start screen in Windows 8, before returning to its original name with Windows 10. The Start menu, and the Taskbar on which it appears, were created and named in 1993 by Daniel Oran, a program manager at Microsoft who had previously collaborated on Great ape language research with the behavioral psychologist B.F. The Start menu is a graphical user interface element that has been part of Microsoft Windows since Windows 95, providing a means of opening programs and performing other functions in the Windows shell.
