Hands-On: The Maen Hudson 38 Automatic | Lug Link

Looking at a block of wood one night in our apartment, mouth full of spaghetti, Connor looked up at me and said, "You could build one for Tom Petty. You make nice ones and he likes guitars."

Mayor Vera Baboun is disappointed that an insight into Palestinian suffering had gone and thanks Banksy for his efforts on the town’s behalf. But Canawati continues to insist that he has no regrets about his actions, as he used the money to contribute towards the renovation of the Greek Orthodox church of St Nicholas where he worships. He also suggests that Bansky stops bellyaching and creates some more merchandise so they can help more good causes in a place he professes to care about. Priest Paulos Allam approves of his tactics, but Walid is less than amused because he never received a penny for his efforts. While he is cross with Canawati, he is even more incensed with Banksy and tells him to do something tangible for the people rather than making hollow statements that only enrich the haves who would never dream of recompensing the have nots. As if to prove his point, he goes to see `Rage, Flower Thrower’ and picks away at the paint and says it will have peeled or faded in a couple of years and will be remembered only from pictures online or in books. 

Description: Join us for a special live draw session, in which a trio of Image’s most imaginative trailblazers each collaborate on one exquisite corpse-style illustration.

A panel designed to show off the sheer skill of Image’s line-and-shape maestros, stop by for an unforgettable experience.

Star of the show is a pre-Bullitt Steve McQueen, a baseball-throwing American, who — in the movie’s best-loved scene — eventually ploughs a motorbike into a barbed wire fence as he attempts to evade his captors.

The sense that everyone on the island is waiting for something – whether it’s the change of the seasons or their fortunes – pervades the film, which has been based on research conducted by Michela Franceschelli and Adele Galipò. What emerges is the contradictory nature of the Lampedusan temperament, which seems to change with the prevailing wind. However, as the aerial views and Daniele Banzato’s seascapes confirm, this isolated rock is also a place of rugged beauty that clearly shapes the mindset of its residents.

THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS Lasse Hallström and Joe Johnston direct this live-action take on Tchaikovsky’s ballet; the results appear to add a helping of “Alice in Wonderland,” with Mackenzie Foy as a girl who stumbles into a magical world. Jayden Fowora-Knight, Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren and Morgan Freeman also star.

In an indication of the huge interest in the case, more than 1,000 people waited outside the court from the early hours in the hope of getting one of just 14 tickets for the public gallery.

SUSPIRIA The ingénue is Dakota Johnson rather than Jessica Harper; the score is by the Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke instead of Goblin; and the visual stylishness comes courtesy of the director Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me by Your Name”). We’ll see if they can cast a spell for 152 minutes — the running time of this remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 Italian giallo classic.

Tom’s Petty’s music served as a soundtrack to these tough times, and got me through a lot of seemingly hopeless personal moments as I struggled with my sexuality in a "don’t ask, don’t tell" military service. I’m happy that this policy is no longer in place.
