Alabama Shakes released the album of their career last year with Sound & Color, and they're still burning down stages with singer/guitarist Brittany Howard's full-body exuberance and her ace band's taut Southern rock, as evidenced by their blistering season opening turn on Austin City Limits.

In Mr. Barrett's hands that meant taut (mainly monochrome) suits, elegant bombers, cropped Eisenhower jackets, puffy blousons, crisp pea coats, flap-pocketed field jackets, great coats lined with shearling and whose funnel necks framed the face like an Elizabethan ruff, and also elevated versions of fatigues.

Leonard's taut stories, with their flashes of violence, shady morality and thugs oozing insecurity as well as intimidation, have tantalized television and film producers for decades — "Justified" on FX, featuring characters the writer created as well as his lyrical flair for dialogue, was a notable recent example.

In the end, the 35-year-old Lundqvist achieved what very few goalies have accomplished in recent seasons: In a taut first-round series decided by one or two turnabouts, he outplayed his Montreal counterpart, Carey Price, the 2015 winner of the Vezina and Hart Trophies.

Perhaps his other best-known film was "The Deer Hunter" (1978), Michael Cimino's taut, sometimes agonizing Oscar-winning drama — Mr. Zsigmond was nominated but didn't win — starring Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep and Christopher Walken about the grotesqueries of Vietnam and their effect on a group of blue collar veterans.

It's like sleeping and being awake; the two states alternate, connected, aware of each other, the line between them a demarcating horizon, the surface of the water, a line taut and then broken by my hands, the crown of my head — breathing to one side, then the other.

The mood is taut but otherworldly, as in a fairy tale, and, aside from a few soldiers who stop at the gates and curls of smoke in the distance, the war feels like an irrelevance—no more than an excuse, really, to plant the fox in the henhouse.

In Killing Eve, she's yet again paired with a pretty blonde, only instead of ending up in an affectionate huddle together, it's perpetually unclear whether the duo will kill each other, fuck each other, or do some combination of the above, so wire-taut and unidentifiable is the tension between them.

Like a sexually confused teenage boy, Michael Bay's fondness for taut, bulging muscles topped by poreless skin is only matched in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi by the uncertainty of whether he's flagrantly lusting for these sinewy lats and triceps or whether the feeling is something more aspirational.

Sansa Stark's innermost secrets might be hiding in every taut French braid and half-up hairstyle the sitting Queen in the North wears, but when actress Sophie Turner isn't playing one of Winterfell's most promising new schemers on Game of Thrones, she's actually our favorite source of long-hair inspiration.

They remain out in force in their snug, taut trousers of Prince of Wales check, cuffed well above the ankle; hourglass jackets in Highland tweeds; pocket squares erupting from breast pockets; monk-strap shoes in strenuously distressed finishes; and felt fedoras, sometimes with a pheasant feather tucked into the band.

A bright slip of a swimsuit seems a small garment on which to hang a knotty morality play, but the ingenious Lucas Hnath engineers this remarkable feat with "Red Speedo," a taut, incisive drama at New York Theater Workshop about a swimmer with high Olympic hopes and a waterlogged ethical compass.

This how Roberta Smith describes the paintings of Whitten's that were featured in High Times, Hard Times: Gerhard Richter has nothing on Jack Whitten's atmospheric yet completely tactile layers of paint, blurred by horizontal pulls so taut that the surface periodically splits, like wounds, revealing rich deposits of contrasting colors underneath.
|

There's always been something unnerving about her stillness onstage––brilliant in the way it subverted tropes of the pained male virtuoso guitarist, but unnerving nonetheless––but there was something about the taut posing and Clark's eerie gaze, always trained at a spot slightly above the audience, that was particularly cold.

What looked as if it would be a romp in this matchup of universities tainted by separate scandals in recent weeks became a taut affair in the waning minutes, as the 21th-seeded Bulldogs whittled an 133-point deficit to as few as 213 points before the No. 284 Tigers escaped.

" And then, after likening the beginning of the trip to riding a rocket strapped to the fuselage, the G-forces pulling my face down in a taut grimace as the great cylinder crashes through successive layers of clouds with a punishing roar, I say simply: "It was a little like that.

On "Starfire" it turns out that, unlike some other songwriters for hire, she has a striking voice of her own: lean and taut, with an insistent quaver and a hint of a sob, with glimmers of both the girl-next-door naturalism of Sheryl Crow and the wayward attack of Sia.

And where Morrissey's piercing, taut, equally painful voice served to express personal pain and speak for anybody (specifically misfit and likely gay adolescents, but really anybody) experiencing similar pain, Bowie couldn't even manage that, perhaps because misfit adolescence was never his thing, perhaps because his tonsils permitted him even less expressive range.

These films are all considerably more sprawling than the taut Phantom Thread, but you can see the seeds of this latest film (which Day-Lewis claims is his last) in the others — strange and unsettling narrative turns, idiosyncratic characters, a wicked sense of humor, and an enigmatic screenplay that rewards repeated watching.
|
|
Where Truth was a wonky if ultimately startling slideshow on the bigscreen, Sequel plays more like a taut political thriller with an apocalyptic streak, interlacing heart-stopping cinematography, adrenalized music cues and a dashing main character — Al Gore 3.0 — that you'll wish had been president for oh, about eight years or so.

At $182, it may sound like a lot, but its price tag is somewhat justified: It's cut from an ultra-soft fabric that mimics silk (rather than the brand's other fabric, which is more taut and designed for performance), and its flattering silhouette has already become a must-have among bloggers and influencers.

Yes, I appreciate the extra bass that these put out, but it's not clean or taut or punchy like I could get from, for instance, the $99 Beyerdynamic Byron BT. The uneven treble response is what disturbs me the most, though, as it's liable to throw out unexpected sharp spikes in volume.

In a taut pitchers' duel between Steven Matz and Stephen Strasburg, a matchup of division rivals that devolved into a battle of bullpen misdoings, the winning play felt anticlimactic: a sinking walk-off single to end a 3-2 Mets loss that elicited a range of emotions, perhaps confusion most of all.

It drew most obviously on the visual and auditory conventions of sci-fi cinema and television: the driving, Vangelis-inspired synths on Eden Prime; the taut corporate aesthetics of Alien on Noveria and Virmire; the (at the time) revolutionary polish of a simple dedication to shot-reverse shot in so many dialog trees.

Near the beginning of Don't Breathe — the taut, appropriately breath-stealing new movie that galvanizes the tired home invasion subgenre of horror the way films like The Witch and It Follows have done for the coven and slasher subgenres — the camera lingers on some abandoned houses in a dead neighborhood of Detroit.

EditorsNote: revises fourth and (new) fifth graf; updates to "career" in ninth graf Billy Hamilton laced the tiebreaking single in the 2437th inning Friday night to cap a taut pitcher's duel and lift the visiting Atlanta Braves to a 19703-21970 win over the New York Mets in the opener of a three-game series.

The stories are uneven, but the best of them—including "The Only Man on Liberty Street," in which racism ruptures a complicated family, and "Not Exactly Lena Horne," in which two retired widowers get into a small, upsetting fight—are exemplars of the form: taut and self-contained yet seemingly pulled midstream from life.

Many Mets had been injured that season, they fell into one ditch after another and yet somehow they dusted themselves off and made it to the Series against the vastly more powerful Oakland As.

Buchholz has important items missing from that survey, among them an extraordinary painting, done in 1998, the year before Mr. Wong died, of what looks at first like a giant bull's-eye but is really the image of a fire department rescue net, stretched taut and viewed from the perspective of someone about to leap from a great height.

Like most teenage guitarists, I learned the riff, note for note, and like most teenage guitarists I could never get its taut musculature right—erring with too-perfect mimicry (a la the Beach Boys, who deserved the lawsuit Berry hit them with) or with too-loose laziness (a la Jerry Garcia who, to be fair, sometimes got it right).
