Poor Things | Anatomy of a Scene – The New York Times

Im Yorgos Lanthimos, the director of Poor Things. Understand we never lived outside Gods house. What? So Bellas so much to discover. And your sad face makes me discover angry feelings for you. This is a scene that takes place in a restaurant in Lisbon, where Bella Baxter and Duncan, played by Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo, are having dinner. And theres other people dancing. During that, the music attracts Bella, and just instinctively, gets up and starts wanting to join the dance. Its a very funny, awkward, physical situation where Bella has never really danced before, and its very intuitive, what she does. Hes not a good dancer. Hes trying to keep up with her. We had a lot of help from Constanza Macras, who did the choreography. So the dance, because shes done it for the first time, it just felt like it should be something quite primitive, slightly baby-like, but then it quickly develops into something that she wants to take hold of and lose control of her self. And Mark, in real life, is also not a great dancer. And on the other hand, Emma is a really good dancer, so we kind of used that dynamic as we were building the choreography. And it actually became funnier than what we thought. What do you keep doing that for? A man over there repeated blinks at me. I blink back for polite, I think. [MUSIC PLAYING]

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Is Going To Be Available To Stream On Disney+ Soon – Elite Daily

If you were looking for a reason to scrub back into Greys Anatomy, this might be it. The long-running medical drama is expanding to a new streaming home, where fans will be able to marathon all 19 seasons whenever theyre in the need for some horny hospital happenings. Starting in March 2024, Disney+ will add the entirety of Greys Anatomy to its library, just in time for you to brush up before the new season premieres that same month.

Disney announced the acquisition on Dec. 11, revealing that the Greys addition will coincide with the launch of a new Disney+ and Hulu combined app for bundle subscribers. But dont worry if you only subscribe to one of those streamers Greys will be available on both Disney+ and Hulu individually as well.

Even better, the new deal doesnt have any immediate downside for Greys Anatomy fans who use Netflix to watch their fave drama. All 19 seasons will continue to be available on Netflix as well, along with Disney+ and Hulu. Basically, youll be able to check in with the Grey Sloan gang on almost every major streamer come March.

The timing coincides with the upcoming premiere of Greys Anatomy Season 20 on ABC. The long-awaited season face some delays in production, but its now slated to drop its first episode on March 14. Initially, fans were skeptical about what direction Season 20 might take, considering Meredith Greys highly-publicized exit from the series in Season 19. But its since been confirmed that Ellen Pompeo will continue to provide her voiceover narration for the show, and will return as Meredith at least a couple times in the new season.

As for when (and where) Season 20 will be available to stream that could wind up being a drawback for Netflix subscribers. Although the streamer is retaining the rights to the first 19 seasons of the show, it sounds like future seasons will be streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

Lost and Grey’s Anatomy lead list of 14 hit Hulu shows coming to Netflix in 2024 – TechRadar

Lost and Grey's Anatomy,alongside a whole bunch of the best Hulu shows, are coming to Netflix. The two streamers have signed a new deal for 2024 that will expand the range of shows you can watch on both services.

With Grey's Anatomy, the longest-running prime-time medical drama on TV, all of the previous 19 seasons of the show will be available on Hulu as well as on Netflix. Hulu will also get the upcoming 20th season, with episodes available online after they've aired on ABC.

As part of the deal, which we first heard about in early November, Disney is licensing 14 shows to Netflix on a non-exclusive basis. Although as Variety reports, the deal hasn't been signed off just yet so this is not yet fully confirmed.

According to Variety, these are the shows and their expected premiere dates:

As for Grey's Anatomy on Hulu, the older seasons will be available on the streamer when Disney officially launches the Hulu on Disney Plus app, which is currently in beta. That combined app will enable Hulu users to watch most Disney Plus content and vice-versa.

Although it's good to see shows being licensed to more of the best streaming services, don't expect Disney to offer the family jewels to its rivals. CEO Bob Iger made it clear during the firm's last earnings call that Disney did not intend to share its core brands, which are Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars.

Grey’s Anatomy: 10 Episodes To Watch If You Miss Meredith & Cristina – Screen Rant

Summary

Meredith and Cristinas friendship has been at the center of Greys Anatomy in the first ten seasons of the medical drama, but some episodes were more important than others for the progress of their relationship. Going from interns to residents and finally attendings, Greys Anatomy seasons 1 to 10 saw them navigating marriages, various cataclysmic events hitting the hospital, and the usual work-related drama that established them as allies before making them friends. Their friendship hit highs and lows through the years, but it also showed how they were always there for each other, no matter their momentary fight or cause for celebration.

Dubbed the twisted sisters, Meredith and Cristina proved to be fiercely protective and supportive of each other, even if the way they showed it was sometimes inexplicable for those outside their friendship. Their loyalty to each other was consistently proved in the most extreme situations, even if sometimes their competitiveness and pride separated them for a while, as the two could be stubborn to admit their shortcomings. Their unique friendship that established very early how the two were each others person made it difficult for others to penetrate their bubble, guaranteeing their relationship to be uncommon and that many would have missed it once Cristina Yang exited Greys Anatomy.

Greys Anatomy season 1, episode 1 aptly established the interpersonal dynamics among all interns and introduced Meredith and Dereks romantic connection, but no relationship was more clearly defined than Meredith and Cristinas coalition-turned-friendship. Indeed, Cristina was initially drawn to Meredith because she was envious of her being surgery royalty, being Ellis Greys daughter, but she quickly recognized Merediths potential. Their research for the cause behind Katie Bryces seizures perfectly exemplified their peculiar connection, as their back-and-forth exchange examined the possible medical causes and simultaneously discussed Merediths love life after she admitted she had hooked up with Derek.

Greys Anatomy series premiere also introduced the first conflict between the two, as their successful diagnosis won them one spot in the OR. Despite Meredith repeatedly saying how she wanted to surrender it to Cristina had they won, Derek chose her to be in the OR, and Meredith didnt cede her spot to Cristina, betraying her word to her. The conflict quickly established how competitive Meredith and Cristina both were, a characteristic most in common between them besides their being dark and twisty when facing lifes challenges, putting them one against the other as Cristina saw Meredith as the favorite because she had slept with an attending.

Greys Anatomy season 1, episode 5 engulfed Meredith with multiple worries, about her career because she ripped her glove during surgery, and her mother, because she had to deal with her long-term care and finances. Returning home only to find an unexpected big party was the cherry on top of her days obstacles, and she only decided to let it go once she saw Cristina dancing on a table and calling to her. The episode marked the first time Meredith and Cristina danced it out as a way to cope with their problems, and it also highlighted how seeing Cristina helped Meredith accept her problems and shake them out.

Greys Anatomy season 2 premiere cemented the bond between Meredith and Cristina with the Youre my person line. Cristina never desired to be pregnant and was always a very private person. However, she still shared with Meredith that she was pregnant, even if she didnt even tell her about her fling with Burke. The episode introduced their moniker for each other because Cristina had to share her emergency contact before her abortion appointment could be confirmed. Choosing Meredith as her emergency contact person was a very practical requirement that forced Cristina to admit her peculiarly strong bond with Meredith to her face, with the nickname becoming emblematic of their relationship.

The aftermath of Meredith's drowning in Elliot Bay took over Greys Anatomy season 3, episode 17, where the doctors tried to save her as she admitted to herself that she stopped fighting against the water for a moment. While the episode proved instrumental for Meredith, as she finally faced she wanted to live, it was also monumental for Cristina. Indeed, Cristina always fled life-or-death situations where she needed to stay at the bedside of someone she cared about who might not have made it after she saw her father dying next to her as they waited for an ambulance.

Despite not being able to deal with the emotions of seeing Meredith half dead in the ER as Bailey and Webber tried to resuscitate her, Cristina still stood there, hands at Merediths ankles as one last round of ACLS drugs was administered, eventually bringing Meredith back to life. This was a milestone for Cristina, as her bond with Meredith meant so much to her that she sat with her feelings and stood by Merediths side, even if all she wanted to do was to avoid the problem, which she tried to do by going to the dollar store and buying a bit of everything she didnt need.

Greys Anatomy season 3s episodes leading up to the finale were focused on Burke and Cristinas wedding and Cristinas concessions so that things could be done in the Burke family tradition. Greys Anatomy season 3 finale started with Cristina suffering through Burkes mother making her wear a too-tight choker and waxing her eyebrows and ended with Burke leaving her at the altar after realizing he had forced the wedding on her. Merediths unwavering support through it all showed how much she understood Cristina, especially as she was processing the breakup, but also her relief at not having to go through the wedding, which she never wanted and only now realized.

Concluding the hospital shooting storyline at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital Greys Anatomy season 6 finale showed one of the most difficult, greatest things Meredith and Cristina did for each other. The absence of attendings on the floor where Cristina and Meredith found Derek meant Cristina and Jackson had to operate on him. However, when Gary Clark found them and threatened to kill them, Owen got shot, prompting Meredith to return the favor to Cristina and dress his wound. Meredith and Cristina saved the lives of their respective love interests, despite the dangers involved due to the shooting and the risk of having their loved ones die on their tables.

The plane crash in the Greys Anatomy season 8 finale also showcased Meredith and Cristinas beautiful friendship. Not only did they help each other live through the unbearable stress of the situation, but they also worked together to help the others survive, performing surgery in the woods and sharing the few scraps they had. Cristina got Meredith to Lexie just before she died, and they leaned on each other physically and emotionally to survive till the rescuers got to them, proving their friendship to be one of the strongest even in situations of unfathomable hardship.

Greys Anatomy season 10 was Sandra Ohs last as Cristina Yang and Meredith and Cristina spent a great deal of it fighting before they got back to their generally supportive selves in season 10, episode 12. Greys Anatomy season 10, episode 12 marked their reconciliation, but only after Cristina accused Meredith of being the surgeon they laughed at and Meredith accused Cristina of having become the heartless surgery god they worshipped as interns. Their competitiveness was always extreme, but their unkind words against each other at least made them talk again. The episode was crucial in letting Meredith and Cristina accept their different paths and the validity of them both.

Greys Anatomy season 10, episode 20 saw Meredith and Cristina mostly apart and busy with their patients, but Meredith nevertheless managed to find time for Cristina as she waited to know if she had been that years Harper Avery Award winner. Greys Anatomy season 10, episode 20 proved yet again how Meredith knew Cristina better than Cristina knew herself, as she repeated throughout the episode how she was happy to go to the ceremony alone. However, when she got there, Cristina realized she wanted Meredith and Owens support. Had Meredith not thought ahead and surprised her with Owen in Boston, Cristina would have had to lose the Harper Avery alone.

Cristinas final day in Greys Anatomy season 10, episode 24 was marked by a big incident in Seattle, and many significant goodbyes. However, none was more important than Meredith and Cristinas goodbye. Meredith spending the best part of the episode trying to get Cristina in a cab to the airport hinted at their goodbye happening outside the hospital. Instead, the Greys Anatomy season 10 finale managed to give Meredith and Cristina the best possible goodbye, by having them dance it out one last time before Cristina reminded Meredith to put herself first by saying that Derek is very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are.

How Matt Meola Breaks Down the Anatomy of an Air Wave – The Inertia

Youll be surprised what you can land if you commit, says Matt Meola in his Aerial Surfing class with Inspire Courses. Photo: @1more808 //Dayanidhi Das

Standing on the beach (or cliff) and checking the surf for 15 or 20 minutes is par for the course for every surfer.We check for a variety of conditions, from the intervals of time between sets to establishing landmarks we can line up with in the water. Matt Meola does this just like the rest of us, only when it comes to airs, his checklist becomes a little different.

I figure out what (the wave is) good for, he says in his Guide to Aerial SurfingonInspire Courses+, noting that once hes out there he then has to decide which specific maneuvers are even on the table that day given the conditions. Youre going to get all different types of air sections. Youre going to get closeouts. Youre going to get ones where its better for airing out of the pocket of the wave.

For Meola, being in tune with conditions has an entirely unique application for his air game. If he has a maneuver hes been waiting to work on, today might not be the day for it. Or maybe the takeoff section is just right and fitting reps into a closing window is a now-or-never proposition.

He takes this information into the water with him to inform his decision making in terms of finding waves that work for airs. He leans on these three points of emphasis:

1. Choose the right wave. 2. Decipher what the section is good for (what type of air will work in what section). 3. Commitment to the landing.

Advising surfers to check the waves before a surf isnt exactly a groundbreaking secret. But for surfers looking to add an above-the-lip repertoire to their game, Meolas pre-surf checks are a reminder that youll start observing an entirely new list of factors as you progress.

Before youre taking off, you have to have that in mind and know exactly what that wave is good for and be ready for that.

Editors Note: Access Matt Meolas Guide to Aerial Surfing and our entire library of digital courses with a membership to the brand new Inspire Courses+, which includes 18 classes (and counting) and 340 video lessons taught by icons of surf and the outdoors.

European Film Awards: Anatomy of a Fall dominates evening with landslide of wins – The Irish Times

Anna Hints, the director of Smoke Sauna Sisterhood, bounds on to the stage of the Arena Berlin wearing a patchwork velvet opera coat and feather earrings.

Instead of a speech, Im going to do a song, she trills as she accepts the award for Best European Documentary. She valiantly attempts to lead the auditorium in an improvised chant that rhymes European Film Academy with All our friends and family. It works better than you might expect.

Welcome to the 36th European Film Awards, the only awards bash that combines the old-school continental charm of phone-in era Eurovision, references to the upcoming European Parliamentary elections, and a wheelchair-accessible red carpet.

Ahead of the ceremony, European Film Academy (EFA) chief executive Matthijs Wouter Knol, chairmain Mike Downey, and Academy president Agnieszka Holland take care to emphasise the inclusive nature of the awards body, whose 4,600 members hail from geographical Europe plus such associate members as Israel and Palestine.

We have Ukrainian, Russian, Israeli and Palestinian members ... We want this to be a space to talk, to listen, to understand, says Holland, as part of a joint statement. (Holland is a woman wearing many hats tonight: shes also rightly nominated as Best Director and Best Screenplay for her work on Green Border.)

Dressed in a metallic animal-print dress and jumping around the audience, Ritta Steffenhagan, the ceremonys zany presenter, lists all of the contributing European Film Academy countries, including warring states Armenia and Azerbaijan.

After last weeks big freeze, the snows had thawed across Berlin in time for the continents premiere film event.

It was still cold enough for several attendees to hang on to their jackets until the last minute. Sandra Hller arrived in a padded coat but walked the red carpet in a black and white gown with chilly-looking cutouts.

She was, to the surprise of no one, subsequently named Best Actress for her incredible work on Anatomy of a Fall, over her second nominated performance in The Zone of Interest. Her director, Justine Triet, looked rather more comfortable in an outsized grey suit, a blue-green shirt, and fine, sensible boots.

As ever, in the spirit of inclusivity, various community groups are called upon to introduce nominated films. A street art collective gives their thoughts on the shortlisted feature documentaries, a board game society outlines the contenders for Best Animated Feature (which finally goes to the superb Robot Dreams).

Top of the list of Things You Dont See at the Oscars: Hungarian master Bla Tarr swearing; Isabel Coixet notes the physical awards resemblance to a sex toy and wonders aloud if the Academy can put batteries in it?; Stellan Skarsgrd is endlessly delayed on the red carpet by autograph hunters with Dune merchandise.

There comes a moment when zany Ritta realises that Ermita Frigato, recipient of the Best Production Design for her work on La Chimera, cant understand English-language questions. She tries Spanish no go before calling into the audience for someone anyone to translate. A heroic casting agent comes to the rescue.

One EFA innovation, which requires that the nominees all sit together on a large couch as the category winner is announced, lends the appearance of a game show.

The production aims for brisk pacing. Theres no sobbing over the rising orchestra allowed. Pablo Berger, accepting his award for Robot Dreams, urges his producer towards the stage: Run, Sandra, run; weve only got one minute.

Little things like Leila Costas wildly enthusiastic appraisal of Isabel Coixet (who accepts the Achievement in World Cinema award) and Sandra Hllers moment of silence in which to imagine peace ensure that the ceremony overruns by almost 30 minutes.

There are some lovely scenes; Joely Richardson presents her mum, Vanessa Redgrave, with an honorary award; rising star and presenter Mia McKenna-Bruce whoops when she opens the envelope and calls out the name Molly Manning Walker, her How To Have Sex director and the recipient of the European Discovery Prix FIPRESCI.

Walker takes to the stage for a second time when 99 teenagers from 30 countries name Scrapper, on which she served as cinematographer, as the European Young Audience Award.

Actors talking about their directors, a European Film Awards tradition, yields many delights: Thank you for being brave enough to tell this story; my story, says exiled Syrian actor, Jalal Altawil of Green Border director Holland.

In recent years, the EFAs have hosted several clean sweep champions:

Quo Vadis, Aida? won four EFAs, including Best Film, in 2021; last year, Reuben Ostlund took home six prizes notably film, director, actor, screenplay with Triangle of Sadness.

This year promised a closer race with major festival triumphs going toe-to-toe. Three big hitters from Cannes: Palme dOr winner Anatomy Of A Fall Grand Prix and FIPRESCI winner The Zone of Interest, and Jury Prize recipient Fallen Leaves were shortlisted for Best Film and Best Director alongside Green Border and Me Captain, respective winners of Special Jury Prize and Best Actor at Venice.

Ultimately, it was another landslide. Justine Triets early win for Best Screenplay telegraphed an emphatic victory for Anatomy of a Fall. (Arthur Harari, Triets life partner and co-writer appeared onscreen behind her as she took to the stage for their screenplay win; he stayed home to mind their two daughters.)

Anatomy of a Fall later took home gongs for Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Film.

After 36 years, the EFAs are waving goodbye to the Christmas markets. This will be the last December ceremony in Berlin, the city that has hosted the European Film Awards every second year since its inception. Next year, the awards will take place in the Swiss city of Lucerne. And the 38th edition will move to mid-January in 2026 as part of the broader awards season.

As Holland and others have noted, box office receipts in Europe suggest that continental audiences dont want escapism; if anything, they want more politics and more discourse. Hollands Green Border, despite being dismissed by various Polish authorities, has already scared up more than $4 million (3.7 million) in its home country, while Anatomy of a Fall has, thus far, sold $18.3 million in tickets, mostly in Europe.

Will Hollywood and competition from the Oscars ruin the European Film Academy? Lets hope not.
