Spielberg's weakness has always been wonder and whimsy at the expense of forward movement, and here, he's working with Walden Media, the Christian entertainment company that's built an ethos out of producing effects-heavy, pointedly wholesome kids' movies like Bridge To Terabithia, The Water Horse, City Of Ember, and the recent live-action Narnia movies.
To draw attention to historical monuments all over Belgium, florist Geoffroy Mottart stages herbaceous interventions by adding botanical beards and verdant hairdos to statues of luminaries and potentates like Victor Rousseau and King Leopold II. This clash between history and brightly-colored floral facial hair lends the otherwise-somber effigies an air of tender whimsy.
Brightly colored cabanas outside and deep, rainbow-hued couches add a dose of whimsy, while the roof hosts sunset cocktails and all-night dancing care of the DJ. For something a little more chill, the downstairs lobby bar keeps it casual with a game of pool, vintage pinball, a board game, or live music.
Now, that excess is reinterpreted with a sense of whimsy that would charm even the Flemish masters: Rich delicacies, cleverly transformed by the wave of a sugary wand, include a red-velvet cake with buttercream and fondant made to look like a roast tenderloin and a candy pig's head covered with confetti-like sprinkles.
It's engaging, interactive work, rife with both whimsy and depth, and that's fitting: Performa 17 will focus less on Dadaism's spirit of abnegation than its activism — its ability to create cathartic relief via work that confronts complex histories, vulnerable communities, and the role of the artist in providing context and support for it all.
I want to thank Kelly Bourdet for bringing me on and showing me the potential of women's media, Anna Maltby for helping me birth this column, Rebecca Adams for her editing eyes, Amelia Edelman for her top-editing talent, and of course Anna Sudit, for creating illustrations that strike a bewitching balance between whimsy and grit.
Witness this response to the sight of his beaming face: Saw his face plastered over the MTA logo on the front of an oncoming train this morning and laughed out loud and thought, for the first time in a long time, "maybe I shouldn't jump...." Like most memes, this one contains a touch of politics amid the whimsy.
In addition to social accounts for different locations that offer Netflix outside the U.S., and original series/movies, the streaming platform has a Facebook page for those looking for a bit less whimsy in their lives, and a bunch of other offshoot Twitter accounts (listed below) that all know their audiences and are rising in popularity.
If you don't think a literal and psychic break from the grinding drudgery of real life is some sort of indulgent whimsy, then you're probably the exact sort of person who boasts about "never being off ill, not even one day, and I've been here seven years," or is an active poster on the MoneySavingExpert forums.
Flight, magic, and a talking cat named Jiji are crucial to legendary Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's sixth, so we're looking forward to seeing the imaginative stage techniques Sian and Hewitt will use to convey the whimsy fans expect, while Miyazaki himself is hard at work on his first 3D animated short film, Boro the Caterpillar.
So far, Disney's live-action remakes have mostly eschewed whimsy in favor of stories that attempt to flesh out the originals' flimsy world-building, to better align with vaguely progressive 2019 politics, to cover up supposed plot holes, or even just to tug the story away from a G rating and toward PG or even PG-13.
Children drum on the sides, coaxing the foam out, and with one powerful gust of wind from the south, the art installation — A retrospective view of the pathway by British artist Roger Hiorns — does its job, releasing chaotic whimsy in the form of a cloud of foam that falls upon the children to shrieks of joy.
Unlike the kid-oriented PBS program, Bill Nye Saves the World is geared toward adult science fans with a penchant for whimsy; it's filmed before a live studio audience and punctuated by drop-in cameos from celebrities like model Karlie Kloss, TV/food personality Alton Brown, geek-culture figurehead Wil Wheaton, and affable filmmaker Zach Braff.
Key elements of its plot include a leprechaun's pot of gold — stolen by the title character, Sharon's blarney-filled pa (Ken Jennings) — and a racist Southern senator (Dewey Caddell) of the state of Missitucky (I warned you about the whimsy) who learns the error of his mind-set when he is magically transformed from white to black.
So goes the perilous game of chaining and dependency in marriage; and such, in its violence and whimsy, is the experience of watching "Fefu and Her Friends," by the late María Irene Fornés, directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, at Theatre for a New Audience's Polonsky Shakespeare Center, in the play's first Off Broadway revival since its première, in 1977.
And it seems that along with the poppier vibe, the band have also injected more whimsy into their act—their first music video for After Laughter (for first single "Hard Times") had a distinct 80's nostalgia sheen, where this live performance sees Hayley giving her best kooky librarian complete with cat-eye glasses, and wailing as good as she always did.
I typically don't love advocating for whimsy when talking about fan culture, but the potential move Nolan and Joy threatened to make here just screamed magic killer to me — it inspired a genuine, almost visceral sense of dread in me that a show I enjoy so much might remove something I'd come to see as more or less integral to its appeal.
If the mockery misfired, it may be because Synthia fits easily into the rhetoric of invented life, the specific kind of whimsy of those who, playing God or not, enjoy playing with words: Dolly, the cloned sheep (named after Dolly Parton, because the sheep was cloned from a mammary cell); cc, the cloned cat; Hercules, the genetically engineered, supermuscular beagle; Eau d'E.
Following the practice of her competitors in the Scandinavian-themed publishing sweepstakes, Ms. Brantmark makes liberal use of Nordic vernacular terms like fika, many of which are portmanteau words or accessorized with fetching umlauts, and which recall the made-up subtitles of the '60s cult film, "De Duva," the gleeful parody of the oeuvre of Ingmar Bergman, adding some demented whimsy.
Sure, it's not like seeing the full opera played out on the stage, but you can compare the glimmering wardrobes of the Queen of the Night, the unexpected influences like Hockney in 1991 borrowing the Metropolitan Museum of Art staircase for his Great Temple, and appreciate the incredible whimsy played out through costumes like Jun Kaneko's colorful and geometric concoctions for the San Francisco Opera.
Directed by Finding Neverland's Marc Forster and written by indie film auteur Alex Ross Perry (with reported polishes from Spotlight's Tom McCarthy and Hidden Figures' Allison Schroeder), Christopher Robin has a lot in common with the anglophilic whimsy of the recent Paddington pictures, combined with the 1991 "adult Peter Pan" adventure Hook, among other stories about business-folk pushed by circumstance into reconsidering what's important.
The phrase virtually never appeared again, except in specialist stock-market texts, until the 1980s, when it became a metaphor—at first, largely a negative one, meant to reveal the whimsy and illogic that drives our consumer choices: "People buy Nike shoes because they have bought into Michael Jordan ... not necessarily because of the quality of the shoes," the business strategist John Maxwell wrote.
Part of the fun of walking into Able is seeing the tangible, edible evidence of the staff's whimsy: During Oscar week, there are cookies shaped like envelopes bearing cards that read, "And the Oscar goes to …" But neither the wit nor the 1940s-inspired décor, featuring an old enamel four-top burner and Fiestaware mugs, distinguishes Able as much as the quality of its baked goods.
There is plenty of whimsy and humanity on show: in one picture by Akihiko Okamura, local residents provide tea and biscuits to the combatants of a Northern Irish street battle, and in a playful early series by Henri Cartier-Bresson, covering the coronation of King George VI, Britons peer out from Trafalgar Square dressed in their Sunday best, many seemingly with one foot still in the Edwardian era.
And so Graham pushed his art in the direction of American Cubism, though at a time — the early to mid-19443s — when its Parisian originators had abandoned it for a clunky Neoclassicism as part of the "return to order" following the devastation of World War I. The paintings that Graham produced during the 21944s seesawed between Synthetic Cubism and unvarnished Neoclassicism, with a touch of Surrealist whimsy thrown in.
Mechanical watches are old things, unworthy of our time and attention in a world of always-on Facebook and Pokemon Go. However, with a little imagination and a lot of whimsy, a watch like this can bring you back to a simpler time when James Bond had gadgets and Jason Bourne was a sociopathic killer patched up by a drunk doctor on the coast of France instead of a high-tech destroyer of governments.
Selin is a freshman at Harvard, and she finds herself completely alienated from the linguistic and social codes that everyone else seems to know instinctively: which posters of Albert Einstein communicate whimsy versus which ones just suggest that you're a weirdly big Einstein fan; why you always have to pretend you can't resist chocolate; whether a Spanish-English hybrid that an ESL teacher creates with a student is a real language or a pedagogical failure.
If the post-recession farm-to-table craze of the last decade brought a return to homier desserts — particularly at bakeries like Christina Tosi's Milk Bar (there are now 15 across North America), where layer cakes and pies are built as much from whimsy as sugar — it also introduced rising labor and operating costs that have made restaurants' margins, punishing in the best of times, even less accommodating to the pastry chef.
Where other decorators might rely on whimsy or grand gesture (a statement pendant light, say, or a lacquered wall in a bold color) as a signature style, Studio Peregalli's aesthetic is born from deep knowledge of places, buildings and the objects placed within them: They obsessively study the region and its local structures before beginning a project; every decorative detail down to the knobs and handles is based on a historical document.
To paraphrase the series' own tongue-in-cheek metacritique of the cinema, 'It's so much more convenient to consume entertainment from the comfort of your own home'—and it's so much more convenient to retell Handler's epic tale of woe and whimsy when each novel gets two 42-minute episodes to set the mood, to steep in the wit, and to integrate the interjections of the tangent-prone Snicket (played here by Patrick Warburton).
