![]() “But I want to be as connected as possible with my creativity…I want to be as honest and transparent with my creativity – and with who I am. ![]() I really don't make an effort of like, ‘Oh, I want to change, I want to reinvent myself,’” Echeverry explains. ![]() “I try to look backwards in order to celebrate the journey and how long the journey has been. Echeverry is certainly building himself a fortified pop stronghold, which is currently capped off with De Adentro Pa Afuera, an album centrally inspired by his wife and the 2022 birth of his daughter, and visually backdropped by an impassioned red with Echeverry in portraiture with a blooming rose. Since his 2019 success with “Tutu” – a collaboration with fellow Colombian Shakira, and Puerto Rican singer Pedro Capo – each foot forward has been one soundtracked by quirky pop that blends ear worm with Latin passion. With another Spanish tour in the pipeline for 2024, the road from hopeful stars-in-his-eyes talent show contestant to bonafide pop star has been long but the dividends appear to be paying off for Echeverry. So being here announcing my next tour, receiving all those nominations, releasing new music here in Spain, is something very important.” “The first time I was on stage, with my name, with people in front of me, was in Spain. “Spain was the first country that I visited on my first a tour,” he remembers. Taking his second album Mis Manos around the globe – and a bunch of cameras for what would become his Grammy-nom’d documentary – it was actually here in Spain that he wound up having an incredible affinity. Halted in his tracks by the pandemic, it wouldn’t be until 2021 that he would finally get his first-ever worldwide tour. Eventually signing with Sony Music Latin in 2019, he wound up releasing his debut album – Por Primera Vez – in 2020. Going through the various classic talent-show-start churns, including TV show acting appearances mixtapes singles, he then undertook a behind-the-scenes stint in Miami writing songs for other contemporary Latin acts including Becky G and Natti Natasha (“Sin Pijama”), Anitta (“Veneno”), and Sebastian Yatra (“Ya No Tiene Novio”). His first major musical experience came when he and his sister auditioned for XS Factor – though it would be the year after in 2007 when he would go onto win as a solo act, and his story begins proper. For someone with near-megastar status, the vibe still sits as one of a dreamer who somehow achieved something great.īorn in Medellín, Antioquia, his early years were dominated by the classic sounds of Pink Floyd and The Beatles, as well as Latin powerhouses such as Shakira. Throughout the week Camilo Echeverry – the six-time winner already – posts reels of he and his sometimes musical collaborator wife Evaluna Montaner out ambling around Seville’s ancient streets with coffee. I mean, this, everything that I'm living right now is way bigger than everything that I've dreamt in my life, to be honest.” ![]() But I'm already complete, long ago, to be honest. “I love the the craft of trying to complete circles,” he says. Going onto win only Best Long Form Music Video, while a snub for last years third album De Adentro Pa Afuera, which he notes as being “super special and super personal,” may sting, it’s his singular win which holds a special place in his heart: “It's very important for me, and it's super special, because that tour really impacted me and changed me.”ĭocumenting his first headline tour in 2021, El Primer Tour De Mi Vida is a full-circle moment isn’t lost on Echeverry. I'm just gonna allow myself to feel everything that is going to happen this week,” he tells me the day before the 2023 Latin Grammy’s ceremony. But far from a clout-chasing face, Camilo Echeverry is uniquely authentic.Įven as he settles into a ceremony that finds him nominated for seven awards, he’s intensely aware of – and embracing – all facets of what this moment, and all the smaller ones that lead up to this week in November, mean: “I'm just allowing myself to feel everything, like, I'm gonna get nervous, I'm gonna be okay with being nervous, I'm gonna want to win the awards. This also explains his near-30 million Instagram followers and hundreds of millions of streams. Even as he and his entourage make their way through the hotel multiple other acts and influencers are using as a base in Seville for Latin Grammy week, everything changes. Even though he's softly spoken and of average height, the handlebar-moustachioed, pink glasses-wearing Colombian singer has an aura that commands a room. ![]()

![]() While not yet cast, the team are seeking talent who can voice the characters in animated form while also portraying the live-action versions throughout various projects in this new iteration of the DCU. This is being billed as a modern take on the comic’s concept, which initially followed a team of classic monsters who banded together to fight Nazis. Creature Commandos: A seven-episode animated series, penned by Gunn, that is already in production.Here’s a rundown of the television projects from DC’s Chapter One, “Gods & Monsters” slate: To help lay out these creative blueprints, Gunn and Safran put together a formidable writers room of comic book aficionados which included Tom King ( Mister Miracle, Batman), Drew Goddard ( Daredevil, Cloverfield), Jeremy Slater ( Moon Knight, The Umbrella Academy), and Christina Hodson ( Birds of Prey). Up, up, and away! #DCStudios #DCU /8XNDNLUEPq The programs mentioned during the presentation are the animated Creature Commandos Waller, a live-action Peacemaker spinoff starring Amanda Waller a revamped True Detective–like take on Greg Berlanti’s scrapped Lanterns series Booster Gold, which follows a time-traveling pretend superhero and a Wonder Woman prequel series called Paradise Lost. As part of the first chapter in the studio’s gargantuan slate, which is to be titled “Gods & Monsters,” the duo presented five new live-action and animated TV series that will hit the small screen in the coming decade. Three months after taking on the roles of studio heads at DC, Gunn and Safran have finally announced their plans for the DC Universe.

King of the Hill to return with new episodes and the same cast to Hulu. Taylor Kitsch’s Netflix Western American Primeval builds its cast. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is making a Tomb Raider series at Amazon. That one singular moment alone made the story even more worthwhile than it already did.DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran announced DC’s new programming slate, which includes a Wonder Woman prequel series, Peacemaker spinoff, and more. There was one particular moment towards the end that I wanted to know if it actually happened in real life and for from what I have read it did. It is a thoroughly engaging docudrama that will definitely have you check up on the real events that happened if you weren't aware of it as I was. Love it or hate it, I never found myself disinterested watching this movie. Gavin Hood hit it out of the park with this one and Keira Knightly is excellent as well. This was the film that I wished Oliver Stone's Snowden could have been. THE GOOD: All that said, I think Official Secrets is a fantastic political drama-thriller that fills the much needed void in a nearly forgetten genre that was so prevalent in the 70s. It was like if The Social Network kept on going after the epilogue captions and ended with Eduardo's animal abuse story getting a resolution. Yes, Katherine was certainly responsible for setting most of the events in motion but the film also likes to show every single person that had a part to play in the larger scheme of things. But I would like to argue that this isn't just her story. I am not saying that is a flaw technically but I can definitely see a lot of people having issue with it. In other words the movie is more about the plot than it is with it's characters. ![]() This is a film that is largely concerned with showing us the incredible series of events that occured than it does with fully fleshing out it's characters. THE BAD: Anyone going into this movie expecting a full blown character study about Katherine Gunn are going to leave disappointed. ![]() ![]() ![]() The same encoding features used with Apple Qmaster are available with Apple Compressor too. You can even add filters to the imagery or retime videos to your liking. Other helpful functions of the app include file conversions from Apple to standard formats.

This is handy if you want people on other platforms to be able to view your videos or participate in your HTML live streaming show. If you want to produce videos in industry-standard formats, such as QuickTime, H.264, or MPEG-2, then you can do that too. You’ll have no problem with producing compatible material for all the latest Apple devices, such as Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads, and iPods.

I'm heartened to see that you have included the feature on your checklist. The same is true for email, yet my email client allows me to use multiple accounts. Yes, I know that a single account on one server can communicate across all federated servers. My IRC client, for instance, lets me be logged into multiple servers with different accounts at the same time. I know it is pretty ticky to point out that "Multi Account" is not supported, but it happened to be a feature I was particularly looking for in my search. I'm excited for it to show up for desktop use. I saw your demo of Element X a while back and it looked awesome. As an example, coincidentally, another HN post today was touching on one of those points - the need for a very advanced XML parser, as a typical one apparently wouldn't be enough: Devs are naturally driven to choose tech that makes their work nicer, if they enjoy it, so that means more stuff gets done for the newer platform, in this case. On top of that, the technology choices are par of the course for the time it was designed, and nowadays there are arguably better things. People expect more features in modern chat experiences than what XMPP was designed for, and that's what XEPs have tried to fix as a bandaid, with mixed results. Too many optional extensions hinders interop. > Also, sending files over XMPP has pretty much always sucked - there are a bunch of incompatible ways to do it and it's always been hit and miss depending on which client your chat partner was using, network topography, etc.Īlso, overload of XEPs doesn't help the ecosystem. Most XMPP servers let you log in multiple times but messages don't sync between clients and sometimes get delivered to the client the user isnt currently in front of. It also wasn't designed for today's 1 person multiple devices reality. XMPP is talkative and bandwidth intensive - bad for limited data/battery applications. It doesn't work well with mobile, high packet loss & high latency connections. > XMPP is great for what it was designed for. irssi (IRC client) is kind of my gold standard for stability/performance/features with weechat being mostly okay too.īecause summaries like this still stand up as of today: Matrix clients aren't great either, but overall Nheko gives me less trouble and pain than Gajim, using both daily. Part of the theme apparently, but GNOME also doesn't want you customizing/changing your theme. GTK stuff also often has this horrible thing where it fades the window when unfocused, which gets really awful and unresponsive when things get laggy, also ruins screenshots. Something with Gajim's features but using Qt would be pretty great potentially. When I changed from Dino to Gajim I was shocked at all the stuff I could suddenly do, was weird to think both were XMPP clients. Dino also has the usual GNOME-y issues of being over-simplified and lacking in customization and features. Gajim also gets very slow the longer it's open, can't recall if Dino was the same. Dino and Gajim both crash frequently on Wayland (Sway in particular) due to GTK issues that I'm not expecting to be fixed any time soon. ![]() ![]() ![]() So here are some chick flick movies with particularly having women characters in them and these all chick flick movies are rated amazingly so you won’t regret watching them. Before moving up to the academy level, both of these performers were highly recognized for their parts in chick films. Recently, the movie La La Land, which stars both Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling and is referred to as a girl flick in some areas, received the Academy Award for Best Actress. For instance, the 1983 movie Terms of Endearment won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role. According to ReelzChannel, this makes the use of the term “problematic” because it implies “frivolity, artlessness, and complete commercialism.” However, for their narratives and acting, a few chick films have won great praise from critics. These movies are typically seen as having predictable, cookie-cutter characters and plots in popular culture. According to The New York Times, defining a chick film is more of a parlor game than an exact science. Here’s the list of Best Chick Flicks On Netflix.Ī chick flick is normally a movie made specifically with women, usually young women, in mind. Gloria Steinem and other feminists have criticized words like “chick flick” and the associated genre term “chick lit,” calling them offensive. Around Valentine’s Day, a large number of chick films are frequently released. Despite the fact that a variety of movies may be made with a female audience in mind, the title “chick flick” is often reserved for movies with a focus on romance or personal drama (although not necessarily romantic, as films may focus on parent-child or friend relationships). A slang phrase, sometimes used negatively, for the cinema genre that caters particularly to women’s interests and targets female audiences is “chick flick.” They primarily deal with love and romance and typically target a younger female audience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Van Gogh inspired Sunflowers: A Simple Summertime Art Project for Kids ![]() How to Make Art Fun for Kids with Perfectionist Tendencies Henri Rousseau and painting from your imagination Georgia O'Keeffe Pineapple Project for Kids Inspire your creative space with these back to school art supplies Give your homeschool art plan a creative jumpstart!

While the Avengers were still disbanded, Earth had come under attack by Thanos and his Black Order, bringing Falcon and his allies out of hiding. In the wake of this clash, Falcon, and several other Avengers who were loyal to Captain America, were defeated by Iron Man, and locked into the Raft, until Captain America freed them as they became fugitives. However, as the Winter Soldier was blamed for terrorist attacks by Helmut Zemo, Falcon stood by Captain America with protecting the Winter Soldier, which had then caused the Avengers Civil War. In the aftermath of several incidents that caused casualties within civilians, the Avengers were then forced into following the Sokovia Accords, putting them all under the government's full control. During his time with the Avengers, Falcon briefly encountered Ant-Man before assisting in defeating Crossbones. Following their victory against Pierce's HYDRA units, Falcon then agreed to assist Rogers in tracking down the Winter Soldier, who was in fact Rogers' close friend who had been brainwashed by HYDRA.Īs Falcon continued searching for the Winter Soldier, he was recruited into the Avengers, since their original team disbanded following the defeat of Ultron.
