British TV series. Stereotypes abound in this movie. There is the stuffy, child-hating teacher who yells at students to keep off the grass; the absent-minded and slightly buffoonish father; and, of course, the glasses-wearing, sour-faced librarian. There are rules about not walking on the school lawn, no toys in the pool, no dogs allowed, no talking, and so on.
Perhaps the boy subconsciously simply wants to escape! It seems in this household, going to the library is odd behavior and cause for concern. Their first stop is the school library, a small room with few books available.
The room is filled with older wood-and-metal tables and chairs, a chalkboard, a bulletin board covered with pictures, and a few low bookcases. From one angle, we see a large window along the back wall with a view of trees. There are a few books haphazardly stacked up on one bookcase, and a small 6-drawer card catalog on top of another. Overall, the look is very cluttered and disorganized.
Decidedly odd. This five-minute scene takes place toward the end of the first hour of the movie. The public library looks cheerful from the outside, with its traditional red brick and gold lettering; it seems quite busy and popular with lots of people going in and out.
The next shot showcases the main librarian Sheila Steafel , checking out books with a scanner at the Circulation desk. She appears to be middle-aged, with short blondish hair, glasses perched low on her nose. After the girls have moved to the proper place, the librarian then motions for their library card. There is another librarian, uncredited, with her back to the camera.
We see glimpses of her later on; she is of African descent, and she also wears rather conservative clothing a black cardigan, white button-up shirt, long black-and-white polka-dotted skirt. We get to see more of the public library, which has many bookcases, light-colored walls, and several informational signs.
A character even mentions a second floor. There are several dark wood tables and comfy chairs visible. The boys apparently find more books, judging by the stack on their table, but their research is cut short. Next, we see the librarian standing in the middle of the floor, in a light tan, calf-length skirt and brown flats, but without her glasses.
Seeing no reaction from two kids right beside her, she waves the bell right in their faces see above. Still no words, just crude gestures. After putting the bell back on the desk, she turns to a book cart, then taps impatiently to the man standing on the other side of the cart. He moves quickly fearing worse her bite or her bark? Disaster strikes! It's "Battlefield Earth" with whiskers.
All but the most fervent of Webber's fans will be thrown into fits of alternating laughter and befuddlement by Oscar-winning co-writer and director Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" cinematic calamity, which starts low and keeps sinking to new depths. Luckily, those fans number in the millions, and could make "Cats" a breakout holiday success. Hey, even "The Greatest Showman" found its fanbase. But at least "The Greatest Showman" had a throughline and a story of human redemption, however misguided it was.
Among those donning catsuits for a shot at the Jellicle Ball — if you're confused by the use of the word "Jellicle," don't worry, the movie never sufficiently explains it but goes on to repeat it more times than Jack yells "Rose!
Noted cat fanatic Taylor Swift shows up late in the movie and acquits herself better than most in a number where as Bombalurina she descends on a moonbeam prop, sprinkles catnip over her fellow kitties and wears high heels on her cat feet, for some reason. Rex apologized for being late to the ceremony, saying, "We had difficulty finding barking Reuters Photo. Police focus on timelines in Travis Scott, Astroworld tragedy. AFP Photo.
