![]() Much of a performance is created in the filmmaking itself, in photography and editing and the emotional cues of music. I have started to suspect that when we talk about "good acting" in the movies, we are really discussing two other things: good casting and the creation of characters we react to strongly. Without describing the supernatural mechanism that is involved, I can explain in Coffey's own words what he does with the suffering he encounters: "I just took it back, is all." How he does that and what the results are, all set up the film's ending-in which we are reminded of another execution some 2,000 years ago. Other moments of great impact involve a tame mouse which Delacroix adopts, a violent struggle with Wharton (and his obscene attempts at rabble-rousing), and subplots involving the wives of Paul ( Bonnie Hunt) and the warden ( Patricia Clarkson).īut the center of the movie is the relationship between Paul and his huge prisoner Coffey. One execution is particularly gruesome and seen in some detail the R rating is earned here, despite the film's generally benevolent tone. Some of them involve the grisly details of the death chamber, and the process by which the state makes sure that a condemned man will actually die ( Harry Dean Stanton has an amusing cameo as a stand-in at a dress rehearsal with the electric chair). (We might indeed question whether a Louisiana Death Row in the 1930s would be so fair and hospitable to a convicted child molester, but the story carries its own conviction, and we go along with it.) There are several sequences of powerful emotion in the film. And in Louisiana in the 1930s, a black man with such evidence against him is not likely to be acquitted by a jury. Yet Coffey was found with their broken bodies in his huge arms. The reason Paul consults the lawyer is because he comes to doubt this prisoner could have killed the little girls. Looming over all is the presence of John Coffey ( Michael Clarke Duncan), a man whose own lawyer says he seems to have "dropped out of the sky." Coffey cannot read or write, seems simpleminded, causes no trouble and exudes goodness. The story is in no haste to get to the sensational and supernatural it takes at least an hour simply to create the relationships in the prison, where Paul's lieutenant ( David Morse) is rock-solid and dependable, where the warden ( James Cromwell) is good and fair, and where the prisoners include a balmy coot named Delacroix ( Michael Jeter) and a taunting monster named Wharton ( Sam Rockwell). ![]() "The math doesn't quite work out," he admits at one point, and we find out why. The movie is told in flashback as the memories of Paul as an old man, now in a retirement home. By the end, when he is asked to forgive them for sending him to the electric chair, the story has so well prepared us that the key scenes play like drama, not metaphor, and that is not an easy thing to achieve. In "Shawshank" the black man was the witness to a white man's dogged determination, and here the black man's function is to absorb the pain of whites-to redeem and forgive them. ![]() It involves the supernatural, for one thing-in a spiritual, not creepy, way.īoth movies center on relationships between a white man and a black man. That, too, was based on a King prison story, but this one is very different. It is Darabont's first film since the great " The Shawshank Redemption" in 1994. "The Green Mile" (so-called because this Death Row has a green floor) is based on a novel by Stephen King, and has been written and directed by Frank Darabont. He is suffering from a painful infection and suffering, too, because Percy ( Doug Hutchison) is like an infection in the ward: "The man is mean, careless and stupid-that's a bad combination in a place like this." Paul sees his duty as regulating a calm and decent atmosphere in which men prepare to die. While you’re making the cream chipped beef, toast the white bread slices in a toaster. If the gravy thickens too much, just add another splash of milk to reach the consistency you like. Add in the dried beef, stir, and cook another minute or two to warm the beef and thicken the gravy. Simmer the gravy to thicken for another couple of minutes. Keep whisking and add the onion powder, thyme, and cayenne. Continue whisking as you cook the roux for just a few minutes, until light-gold in color. Once the butter has melted, quickly whisk in the flour to create a roux. Next, place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.First, cut the Buddig Beef into strips, and then into short segments.Here are the instructions to make this classic homemade cream chipped beef on toast from scratch: It is perfect for whipping up as a last-minute meal before heading out the door or when you’re just enjoying a relaxing day at home. How to Make Creamed Chipped Beef AKA “Shit on a Shingle”įrom start to finish, this easy breakfast recipe takes less than 15 minutes to make. These won’t be as salty so you might need to add a pinch of salt to your creamy white sauce gravy. If you can’t find dried beef such as Buddig Beef, you can use thin pieces of pastrami, beef, ham, or turkey sliced deli meat. Texas toast – brioche, or thick-cut white bread. ![]() ![]()

Yes sir, I'll get right on it, said Pritchard as he rose to leave the President's office. We don't want to be accused of covering up anything. Okay, you'll have to release it to the press. Has that any connection with the last one? The ship was bound for Kabania Habitat from Alcor. ![]() We still don't know sir but unfortunately we have another report of a freighter missing. Sir if you will remember, a few months ago a freighter went missing? President I have just been briefed by General Asaki of Space Command. Omuro had closed the door to the General's office before he finished, the General's language was sometimes a little too plain for Omuro's tastes. Omuro was halfway out the door when he heard the General say, I just wish it had waited, I'm retiring in three months. I'll write it up right away, excuse me sir. The ship left on time, opened a link-mouth, and was never heard from again.Ĭaptain Omuro we might have survived one loss but now the pressure is going to be intense to figure this out. ![]() He passed it up through official channels.Īnother one, damn it, said General Asaki. You tell them.Īlinde had no desire to pass on the report but since Musawa was the boss he had no choice. The big boys ain't going to like another one. That's what you told me Musawa, I was on vacation when it happened. Why?ĭidn't this same thing happen a couple of months ago? Yeah, it's the report about the missing freighter. Joe made the report through official channels. If there's one thing I hate more than reporting something like this to Tom, it's reporting it to the government. Yes sir, said Joe as he left Agar's office. Yeah, we can't wait any longer or they'll be second-guessing our motives. And when Joe was nervous, Tom knew he should be nervous too. Agar the ship hasn't reported in and hasn't answered our calls. And it was his job to know and he didn't and now he was going to have to take it upstairs. The ship could be anywhere from Kabania to Alcor. Joe Evans didn't like what he was hearing. Well we've got nothing on the comm, said another. "They should have been here hours ago," said the flight engineer of the Kabania Habitat. The Spin-Two drive can create such a shielded region of space. If a region of space can be shielded from the temporal field then the rate of time in that region will change according to the degree of shielding, the geometry of the region, and the quantum spin number of the chron+ (spin 1) or chron- (spin -1) particles. These are the chron or field particle, and the chron+ and chron- which determine whether time speeds up ( chron+) or slows down ( chron-). QTD introduces three more fundamental particles to the Standard Model of Physics. The fundamental duration of a tick is a multiple of the Planck time. ![]() Like the Higgs field which permeates space and gives particles their mass, the temporal field of QTD also permeates space and causes time and its tick rate. This stands in contrast to the previous view of time, that it was a consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and entropy. Quantum Temporal Dynamics (QTD) states that time is caused by a temporal quantum field. A reader wanting to know more might use a search engine (as I have). All excerpts were taken from the public domain works at the Gutenberg website therefore they have no page number associated with them. There the sources are given by the Chapter in which they occur, followed by a snippet in italics, followed by the original book title and author. An attributions page can be found in the back matter. Several classic science fiction excerpts are used throughout this book. But to me it is of the essence of hard science fiction – old school. So I hope it doesn't bother the reader too much, indeed I hope it enhances the read. It's what got me interested in science and speculating about science and eventually getting a degree in physics and eventually writing science fiction. Second, I like data-dumps in science fiction books. First, it is much easier (I think) as a reader to read these details in an encyclopedic fashion than as an explanation in or interruption of the narrative or plot. (Read Verne's From The Earth To The Moon to see real data-dumping). This is the infamous data-dump that some people bemoan finding in science fiction novels. In this book I have decided to return to my previous practice of putting scientific and technical details at the beginning of a chapter. it is in the nature of a human being to seek a justification for his actions. To do evil a human being must first believe that he is doing good, or else that it's a well-considered act in conformity to natural law.

Why not gloss like shiny copper metal? Real copper becomes less shiny and more matte as it weathers, so a matte sealer is more authentic looking. If you want to preserve your hard work, seal it with a matte acrylic sealer. Here is the faux copper planter all finished: If you want more of a mottling effect with your copper patina, dip a dry paint brush or sea sponge in some of your aquamarine paint and dab it very lightly onto various areas of your painted piece. Try swirling and dabbing, too! Or get a spray bottle of water and mist your piece while the paint is still wet. Tips: You don’t have to just wipe the paint off. But I didn’t want that color, so I didn’t use it. It should be noted that not all copper patinas are blue-green - some are more of a brown-black. Copper oxidizes into a WIDE variety of patinas, so nearly any level of patina is authentic. Wipe off as much or as little of the aquamarine paint as you wish. Generally speaking, the bits of copper more exposed will oxidize more, so you’ll want to wipe off more of the aquamarine paint in crevices and in areas where it would be a little less exposed to air. Where you wipe it off depends on what look you’re going for. You’ll want to wipe in an up-and-down fashion rather than side-to-side for it to look the most realistic. Using your damp paper towel or rag, lightly wipe off the aquamarine paint in various spots while the paint is still wet. Important: Do not allow this paint to dry before the next step. Allow to dry 24 hours before moving on to the next step. Paint in several light coats for the best results and minimum dripping. Next, completely paint your piece with copper metallic spray paint.

Car damage is a racing reality and has been authentically captured in the new Forza Motorsport. ![]() There are all-new simulation details in the directionality of damage, how the paint peels away at exposed and raised edges, in the wheel abrasions, and in the dirt build-up. In Forza Motorsport, car damage is reproduced down to the individual scratches on the bodywork. Ray tracing especially shines on engine bays with their complex self-reflection. The images were posted on the Subreddit r/gamingleaksandrumours on Saturday, and reportedly verified by the site’s moderators as legitimate. This is all brought to life at the trackside pits, where advanced materials and shaders paired with ray tracing bring out incredible detail in the gold heat wrap, anodized aluminum, and carbon fiber.
