I Tell A Fly is artsy, ostentatious and often abstruse, with themes of duality and splashes of political commentary, it arrives at a time when David Lynch's third season of Twin Peaks is America's most lauded show (and comparisons between the two certainly wouldn't be wide of the mark).

When Mark Teixeira paused to admire his ninth-inning, game-tying home run Monday night, which he then punctuated with an ostentatious flip of the bat, it was a cause for celebration of an infrequent type — for him and the Yankees — when leaving the batter's box this season.

If Drake is vulnerable, it is when he dips his toes into Jamaican patois, so Tory Lanez's decision to turn the whole affair into a dancehall song with mild hip-hop accents, as opposed to Drake's version, in which dancehall is merely the spice, is both deliberate and ostentatious.

"The Happytime Murders": Melissa McCarthy and a lot of foul-mouthed puppets -- from director Brian Henson, the son of Muppets mastermind Jim Henson -- looked a whole lot better on paper, or maybe felt, than the movie did on screen, yielding an ostentatious comedy flop on most every level.

It's still a shocking moment and a horrifying image to see hundreds of dead bodies lying on the ground, but I don't think the scene veered too far into the ostentatious, as HBO has made no effort to hide how disturbed the show's version of 2019 Tulsa is.

Twain, one of the least racist men of the 19th century, would surely have seen the choice as neither "right" nor "wrong," merely plausible and — as beautifully drawn by Erin Stead, and underplayed by Philip — the decision seems, to these eyes, neither ostentatious nor banal, just mysteriously apt.

Here that space is the eponymous Dutch house, the ostentatious mansion at the center of our narrator's very identity; every element of his life — the loss of his mother, his dependence on his sister, his career and values — can be traced to his father's baffling decision to purchase it.

She takes a certain masochistic relish in trying to alienate with her singular blend of self-obsession and ostentatious vulnerability, and parts of the book appear to be intended as a punishment of everyone who hasn't loved or understood her, from her mother on down to the reader.

Kaepernick's ostentatious and self-aggrandizing stunt underscores how we're now divided into a nation of Talkers — those who claim to see a problem and seek to launch an endless "conversation" about it — and a nation of Doers — those who see a problem and take action to address it.

Macron has a similar PR problem to Sarkozy in a country where ostentatious displays of wealth are frowned upon: opinion polls show many voters feel the former investment banker is overly pandering to the rich, pointing to his scrapping of a wealth tax and lowering of subsidies for public housing.
|

It's far more true, however, to say that the same cultural forces that led to the prosperity gospel's proliferation in America — individualism, an affinity for ostentatious and charismatic leaders, the Protestant work ethic, and a cultural obsession with the power of "positive thinking" — shape how we, as a nation, approach politics.

Marine Le Pen, the head of the far-right National Front, said after the ruling that French lawmakers should expand a 2004 law that bans ostentatious religious symbols in schools to all public places, except for "religious personnel," but she did not make clear how broad that exception should be.

Now a new study suggests the true evolutionary purpose of these horns -- which can be 8-feet-long -- has to do with sex: The tusks, the research found, are used by male narwhals to compete for and attract mates, a bit like a peacock's ostentatious feathers or an elk's elaborate antlers.

The island vacillates between ostentatious displays of wealth (a golf course that overlooks the $100,000 boats in the marina), touristy kitsch (a giant sculpture of an ice cream cone near stores selling candles, postcards and fudge) and truly beautiful undeveloped areas that feel as remote as any northern Wisconsin forest.

The ostentatious use of classic rock on the soundtrack, scene and spatial transitions that call attention to themselves with graphic design or camera trickery, the sense (borrowed from the Coens) that reality is a sheet of thin ice that could crack and immerse you in the chaos beneath at any moment.

The most ostentatious room by far is the first-floor bathroom, which is covered in wall-to-wall gold-rimmed mirrors — as Armstrong once wrote, "It's a pleasure to see yourself wipe your ass from all angles" — with marble floors, a marble bathtub and a marble sink converted from a birdbath.

The film's relevance to the US intelligence revelations is that despite all the cries of 'no' to normalization from the left, Trump will soon be normalized by the architectural trappings of the White House's only slightly less ostentatious Oval Office — a setting that he has been, to some degree, hacked into.

"I watched in the '08–'09 recession when even the wealthy were pulling back on budgets because they didn't want to seem ostentatious," says John Dolan, a photographer who has shot the weddings of celebrities (Will Smith, Matt Lauer, and Jennifer Lopez among them) and noncelebrities alike for more than 20 years.

Along with groups like the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), the Knights of Pythias, the Woodmen of the World, and others, the Freemasons and fellow secret societies left a profoundly strange visual legacy of papier-mâché skeletons, ostentatious costumes, ritual objects, and a few wooden goats now removed from their original contexts.

Before changing the face of pop culture, music and fashion with a slew of ostentatious alter egos (from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke), Bowie – who died of cancer Sunday, just two days after his 69th birthday and the release of his album Blackstar – was just a precocious kid in a middle-class family.

His character, David Ghantt — a real-life felon who took part in an ostentatious crime in the late 1990s — is rationalizing his own miscreant deeds for the audience of "Masterminds," a would-be memorable piece of popular culture that applies the TV-sketch-show-surreal-farce approach to a based-on-true-events caper picture.

Like President Xi Jinping, Mr. Bo was a member of the "red nobility" — his father, Bo Yibo, now deceased, is considered one of the founding fathers of Communist China — and for more than four years, he led Chongqing in an ostentatious manner that suggested he could try to challenge Mr. Xi's rise to power.

Regardless of whether the jacket symbolizes what we all already know—that the Trump administration doesn't "really care" about immigrant children and Melania doesn't take her position as First Lady particularly seriously—the inevitable question that arises is: Did not a single FLOTUS staffer warn her of the backlash such an ostentatious jacket would garner?
|
|
But the political gymnastics involved in Mr. Trump's gambit will likely be difficult to sustain: His approach involves avoiding discussion of his former campaign pledges without renouncing them, and making ostentatious gestures of conciliation toward Hispanic voters and Mexicans without withdrawing — and at times actually repeating — remarks that have offended them in the past.

"The exhibitors are here to make vaping safer and smarter, to defy the negative press," Igor Kapovsky, owner of e-liquid distribution company Liquid Flow Distribution, told me as he showed me round the "Modders Gallery," a hub at the far end of the hall filled with the most ostentatious and expensive custom modifications available.

So to hear Mr. Lamar invoke the budding cult favorite — "As my guy Mozzy say, you know, God up top all the time" — in his acceptance speech for best rap album was a welcome gift for, probably, dozens, and not even ostentatious enough to be baffling for the millions who almost definitely missed it altogether.

The venue Ryan selected for his Tuesday rollout -- a drug treatment and rehab center for those struggling with alcohol and drug addiction in a predominantly African-American neighborhood -- is in sharp contrast to the GOP front-runner, a billionaire whose campaign is based in a gilded skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, also home to his ostentatious penthouse home.

But if you want to eat at a more humble version that takes you back to a less ostentatious age where the all-you-can-eat "Rodizio" grill began, try Churrascaria Palace (Rua Rodolfo Dantas, 16 - Copacabana) a half block from Copacabana beach and across the street from the Copacabana Palace, the city's most storied hotel.

In the final moments of this episode, we see her stroll right past a confused Nick, slip out the front gate for her walk, and gaze placidly straight into the camera to the tune of Cat Power's "Hate" (which, to give credit where it's due, is one of the show's best and least ostentatious song cues to date).

|
"hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it" is beautiful, pained, and ostentatious in a way that only Lana can really pull off—it includes the line "I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown like a goddamn-near sociopath"—and it's a fine addition to Lana's collection of great NFR tracks.

Much of what is expected to be adopted has already been agreed upon in earlier meetings of foreign and defense ministers — "It is pre-cooked," as Mr. Baranowski put it — so attention is likely to focus instead on how alliance members, including Britain, make an ostentatious show of Western unity despite the shadow of "Brexit" and the weakening of the European Union.

If Radiohead can sell people $200 vinyl copies of Kid A that carefully exploit vinyl holograms to make it seem like the listener has friends who aren't on message boards, then one of the world's most comically ostentatious rock bands—middle-aged men who still conjure up images of hot pants top hats and drunken brawls—should be able to do this.

The first day of President Trump's visit was an ostentatious affair, beginning with scenes of his helicopter landing on the lawn of Buckingham Palace and ending with a formal state banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.

During his 2013 mayoral bid, for example, he engaged in ostentatious acts of protest against the prospective closing of Long Island College Hospital in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn — getting arrested and availing himself of the media exposure that comes with handcuffs — only to drop his support for a full-service hospital when he won, and back a plan for residential towers on the site.

Throughout his decade-long career, the image Fiddy presented was one of a man who had so much money that when he pooped, it didn't leave a trace; instead, it was easier to imagine his defecations sliding out immaculately, because 50 Cent had so much money he could probably partake in an ostentatious show of wealth, like installing diamonds in the lining of his ass.

This hot menagerie, occupying the Grande Halle of La Villette, has everything: a daunting black tunnel leads to a multisensory experience of sizzling stars, glamorous costumes, chic Pussy Galore, eye-spinning special effects, tricked-out fast cars, macho music licks, depraved casino kitsch, ostentatious villain quarters, astute art illustrations, tacky Honey Ryder, exotic neocolonial locations, transformer weaponry, jaw-dropping stunts, and all sorts of futuristic gadgetry.

In "Dorothy Rogers' Decorating Lesson #14" (1993), a seated woman, who has not taken off her ostentatious hat, coat, scarf, or put down her pocketbook, announces at the end of a long statement about her health ("eyework" and "footwork") that: "On the other hand I can now truly love and live happily with such non-objective contemporaries as Jackson Pollack James Brooks Riopelle and Soulages").

There is some unarguable textual resonance with 2015's heated racial climate (the Charleston massacre of June 2015 looms large, as does activist Bree Newsome's removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State House, and conversations around extrajudicial killing), but Tarantino's characters are mostly cartoonish mouthpieces for his windy dialogue, and moreover subordinate to his ostentatious narrative manipulations, many of which arrive without significant payoff.

I thought I'd dust off some old Gilded Age anecdotes for this post but upon googling "ostentatious displays of wealth" found myself sinking into a truffle-scented morass of modern day Caligulas watering their golf courses using golden blimps filled with Evian water and hiring someone to "do" their dishes by flinging dirty ones into the trash and bringing in new sets for every meal.

Though he is less ostentatious than his central European cousins, the lavishly bejeweled ancient skeletons rescued from oblivion in 2013 by art historian Paul Koudounaris' book Heavenly Bodies, Aurelius shares their essential origin story: he, too, was dug up by the Vatican from the Roman catacombs, at some point after the 16th century Protestant Reformation, and brought to a faraway altar to serve as a Catholic saint.

On Tuesday, New York City Ballet, the world's foremost specialist in this music-movement fusion, opened its six-week winter season at the David H. Koch Theater with welcome new aspects of aural accompaniment inside the auditorium (the new music director, Andrew Litton, was conducting a program of American scores, admirably) and new aspects of design around the theater's other spaces (Marcel Dzama redecorated the main upstairs foyer with ostentatious triviality).

"I've been documenting this story without even knowing I was documenting," he said recently, discussing the impending release of "Bury Me With the Lo On," a thick, ostentatious and loving coffee-table book that captures the history of a certain subculture of Polo obsession, beginning with the Lo Lifes, the Brooklyn gang that he helped found that terrorized department stores from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s.

At least to this observer, the jackets with detachable pockets, the hats with beekeeper veils, the washed denim work wear and the quietly tailored suits with short pants cropped just below the knee also called to mind the ostentatious simplicity of couture stuff that Hubert de Givenchy used to design and produce in bulk for the American heiress Bunny Mellon to wear as she rooted around in the vegetable gardens and greenhouses of her vast Virginia estate, Oak Spring.

There was, for example, the highfalutin rodeo show in Texas in 2013, complete with corn dogs, a drive-in theater and the white-haired designer's ostentatious entrance in the back of a '50s-style convertible alongside Anna Wintour, editor in chief of American Vogue; the misty palace illuminated by flaming braziers in Salzburg, Austria, in 2014; and last year, a romantic, life-size homage to Paris built at the Cinecitta movie studios on the outskirts of Rome.

In the premiere episode, Kim Zolciak's married boyfriend/sugar daddy Lee "Big Poppa" Najjar gave her $68,000, on the spot, to buy a new cream-colored Escalade; for his birthday, NeNe Leakes's husband Gregg gave their 10-year-old son a $1,000 check as a symbolic first investment; Housewives Shereé Whitfield and DeShawn Snow showed off their homes and listed their extensive household staffs; and if it wasn't totally clear from those other ostentatious shows of luxury, in her introductory confessional, Whitfield said, "I consider myself amongst Atlanta's wealthy elite," which is basically what they all say.
