Also by developing the habit, carried into adulthood, of spending 25 minutes a night in a self-generated Snoezelen room: flashing lights, blaring metal, a dowel to roll vigorously on his calf muscles, all of which conveniently makes for a good set piece.

|
"Love Theme" plays beautifully during the course of this astonishing set piece, which, brilliantly, forces the player to tap buttons constantly during its five-minute run-time; a thumb and wrist-crushingly torturous experience which places the player's physical and mental running in direct parallel with that of Snake's.
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
The word "fuck" is tacked to every other line of dialogue, whether it belongs there or not, and the set-piece gross-out is focussed, tellingly, on the onanistic male; here, in short, is a degraded " Beauty and the Beast ," with jerk-off jokes instead of a singing teapot.
|
|
Although Jin's gurulike speech might connote Steve Jobs, and the vast arena portends a set piece like the assassination that opens Brian De Palma's "Snake Eyes," the director, Cho Ui-seok, zeros in on an audience member: Park Jang-gun (Kim Woo-bin), One Network's computer systems manager.
|
|
But too often, like the battle at the missile silo, Black Mesa's additions bite off more than they can chew, adding too many enemies, new art assets, and dramatic music in an attempt to turn what was once a simple, memorable room or beat into an action set piece.
|
|
More often than not, as I go up and down its curves, I am reminded not only that this wee bridge—along with the Ganter Bridge, at Simplon, and the Felsenau, in Bern, and the Sunniberg, in Graubünden, and the Bunker Hill Memorial, in Boston—is one of the bridges of Christian Menn but also that I have never written a lick about him, or about David Billington, or a profile of Billington containing a long set piece on Menn, or a profile of Menn containing a long set piece on Billington, or a fifty-fifty profile of them together, which I intended from my Swiss days in the Section de Renseignements through the decades that have followed.

|
Combined with wild set piece races that feel ripped out of a Fast and Furious movie, Horizon 3 is the true successor of the casual racing game that will scratch the itch to take a supercar on a joyride for fans of now-defunct franchises like Burnout or Need for Speed.
|
|

|
|
Mr Putin made the central set-piece speech of his recent re-election campaign an extended riff on Dr Strangelove, gloating over a slew of novel, blood-curdling weapons, including one that appears to boast the most powerful warhead ever created, the better to drench coastal cities with irradiated tsunami.
|
|
Back in 1977, Mr Argento cared more about getting to the next blood-soaked set piece than he did about examining his characters' inner lives, whereas Mr Guadagnino takes the time to flash back to Susie's rural Mennonite upbringing and to explore the feuds within the dance academy's ruling coven.
|
|
And he's not afraid to repeat himself if a bit is good enough: Like in Days of Future Past, the fleet-footed Quicksilver (Evan Peters) must zip through an action set piece to save the day, the whole scene playing out in slow-motion from the character's sped-up perspective.
|
|
Paranoid Androids • A note on sex and nudity in "Westworld": Last week's episode got a lot of media attention for the big orgy set-piece in Pariah, but I wound up addressing it lightly, because William and Dolores's lack of interest in participating seemed much more notable than the event itself.
|

|
The Host never quite reaches the highs promised by that set piece — and its seemingly random forays into slapstick humor may be jarring to viewers unaccustomed to that aspect of Korean cinema — but it remains throughout a grand, sometimes gory adventure that strikes just the right balance of creepy, startling, and totally weird.
|
|
On the surface, it's a sweet little set piece to solidify Nate and Elena's relationship, it's a knowing reference to Naughty Dog fans, and it's just a silly mini-game to make you think that ND is the cool teacher of game studios, the kind that gives "have fun, enjoy life" as homework.
|
|
Using a moody, silver-screen palette and characters who sometimes appeared sculpted from wire, the story nodded to the hard-boiled tradition, but the book's gonzo climax is more farce than noir: a set piece involving a U.S.O. show run amok, with a gender-bending twist so good it fooled me twice.
|
|
To have, off the back of all of this, the best season in the club's history, complete with set-piece routines so exquisite they get attention from America, 10-game winning streaks and Shaquille O'Neal wishing the Cobblers all the best, is something that can only be filed in that magic box, 'football logic'.

|
|
There are a million subplots, but that's the basic conflict, as gaggles of superheroes (minus The Hulk and Thor, who are conveniently out of town like your Canadian high school girlfriend) line up on one side or another, leading to an inevitable and legitimately awesome set piece in which all the heroes fight each other in an airplane hangar.

A fan of Universal Studios Japan tweeted out a handful of photos of a Super Mario-themed set piece from the Super Nintendo World theme park in Osaka Tueday, giving the world its first glimpse at what the upcoming Nintendo theme parks are going to look like, including part of a castle, some green pipes, and piranha plants.

|
This included not just the figurative propulsion of the story, as the first bits of an anti-Savior force began to coalesce, but also literal motion, as with Gabriel's panicked flight, the Kingdom militia trotting around the compound and Rick and Michonne dusting off the ol' two-sedan zombie scythe trick in the episode's action set piece.
|
|
In the finale, J.D. Williams (best known as Bodie in The Wire) turns his time in the witness box into a comedic set piece; Berlin caps off an Emmy-worthy performance in the series by deconstructing Naz; and Camp is similarly outstanding at displaying the depths lying under the schlubby appearance of an unhappily retired detective.

|
While I shudder at the thought of sitting down to a prix fixe menu at a white tablecloth restaurant or any of the other set-piece activities we're urged to take part in to commemorate a dissident Roman priest from the third century, I've somehow also managed to feel some vestigial guilt when, in the past, I've ignored the day completely.
|
|
In between are set-piece "interludes" examining the mechanics of the occupation — the "humiliation machine" of the checkpoint at Qalandia, the apartment blocks of Rawabi, near Ramallah, not, as the promotional materials and newspaper reports would have you believe, a "city of hope," but in fact a tangle of financial interests tying Palestinian elites to Israeli developers and Qatari financiers.
|
|
Take two plays: Sargent's shot, off a well-rehearsed set-piece, which caromed in off a defender's knee in the 49th minute, and Peru's tying goal in the 86th, scored when the substitute DeAndre Yedlin — one of the rare veterans in the United States lineup — fell asleep at the back post and allowed Edison Flores to slip behind him for a tap-in.
|
|
Of special interest to fans who can't get enough scoop on the real place — Gloversville, N.Y. — that inspired his most celebrated novels, Russo sprinkles these pages with a number of boyhood anecdotes, including an unflinching set piece on his construction-working father, a Utah Beach war hero who returns home to embrace a beta-dog existence, much to the distress of his son.
|
|
And yet the episode's tense climactic set piece is innovative and deftly paced: a wordless infiltration of David's house by the rescue team, which culminates in an assassination attempt by the merciless mutant-hunter, the Eye, and a reality shift through David's white room into an asylum where he and his fellow mutants find themselves under the tender mercies of "Doctor" Lenny.
|
|
At the other end of the spectrum, though perhaps it's of a piece with Red Storm Rising because it's another story of militaristic hubris, is the Battle of Yonkers depicted in Max Brooks' World War Z. Basically, with a zombie infection having overrun New York and panic beginning to spread across the country, the US military stages a massive set-piece extermination battle in Yonkers.
|
|
Every step along the path lands heavy to the insistent creak of a wagon wheel, and Reichardt turns the contrast between the deliberate crawl west and the threat of dwindling food and water into a source of agonizing tension; the film's biggest set piece is a scene in which the group lowers a wagon down a rocky hill, a rope snap away from certain oblivion.
|
|
The film also scrutinizes the psychedelic counterculture that's floating on the surface of society, and one set-piece in particular—a savage grappling and fist fight behind the scenes at a swinging, kaleidoscopic-colored nightclub—is cross-edited with the performance of Stu Gardner, the club's soul singer, the men's brutal violence and the singer's close-up screams bouncing off each other in chaotic fashion.

Overshadowed at its release in 2001 by The Sixth Sense, which came out two years earlier and explored similar themes, director Alejandro Amenábar's Edwardian ghost story has only seen its reputation grow over time, thanks to fantastic acting by Nicole Kidman, plenty of genuinely creepy moments that still manage to feel fresh and undated, and the delightfully melodramatic grand guignol feel of every spooky set piece.
|
|
This comical recital occurs as part of an excellent set piece of a dinner held at Huis Doorn, where Judd lets the eccentricity of the emperor and the bribing of Himmler by Princess Hermine run along at a conversational pace, in the midst of which the most monstrous propositions are quietly uttered, allowed to take up room for themselves precisely because all that preceded them was so banal.

Last night's Game of Thrones was the big one: A spendy set piece waged between warriors and cavaliers (did you know there was a basketball game on last night too?) in which the few of us who still pay for HBO were rewarded with a special-effect bonanza that punished the cape-swirlers, the baby-stabbers, the dick-choppers, and rewarded our cast of a thousand beards with the battle royale we've been waiting for.

Battle spectacle and Korean national pride are the order of the day in Ryoo Seung-wan's "The Battleship Island," a heated account of the mining operation on Hashima Island off the coast of Nagasaki in Japan that forcibly conscripted thousands of Koreans (and Chinese) in World War II. Though Mr. Ryoo's taste for heightened theatricality threatens his story's credibility at times, there is no denying his skill with a large-scale action set piece.

LONDON — Earlier this week, Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Gertjan Vlieghe delivered a set-piece speech at Bloomberg's European headquarters to discuss the future of economic forecasting in the context of Britain's exit from the EU. Economics as a discipline has taken something of a bashing in the past handful of years, with UK economists seeing particular ire since June for their failure to accurately forecast the immediate impact (or lack thereof) that Brexit would have on the country's economy.

It means the worlds in Phantom, unlike those in the FX-cluttered and endlessly greenscreened Episodes II and III, hold up remarkably well: Naboo a verdant future Venice, its palaces inhabited by a luxuriously attired aristocracy; the Gungans' underwater world, a hive of enormous illuminated baubles and Vernean subs; Tatooine, a parched crook's paradise that's home to Phantom's podracing sequence, one of the few simple set-piece pleasures of the prequel trilogy; and Coruscant, a bustling, planet-size metropolis that's the shining capital of the universe.

Paranormal Activity's underdog production history and amazing grassroots success were so similar to The Blair Witch Project's that it was uncanny, but where Myrick and Sanchez initially bungled their good fortune by signing off on a very bad sequel (Blair Witch: Book of Shadows, which dropped the mock-doc conceit and put nothing in its place), Peli parlayed his very well-played original idea into a series of mostly enjoyable sequels, especially Paranormal Activity 3, which was set in the 1990s—in the same period as the original Blair Witch Project—and uses the reduced technological capacities of the era to its advantage (including a great set piece involving an oscillating fan).
