Acura integra type r front bumper11/9/2023 ![]() ![]() The Integra was based on the less-sporty Civic, although it featured a small list of key upgrades over its lesser stablemate to help merit a price increase over the CRX Si, which was otherwise the sportiest compact vehicle being offered by Honda/Acura enlarged 4-wheel disc brakes replaced the small front-disc/rear-drum setup used by the Civic and CRX, suspension calibration was re-worked, better tires were used and a 113 hp DOHC fuel injected 16-valve engine was used in place of the SOHC, 108 hp unit from the CRX Si. The engine was the vehicle's most publicized feature, as DOHC, multi-valve engines were anything but commonplace in entry-level models at the time. A high-revving 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve engine powering both variations. The Integra was offered in two configurations: 3-door hatchback (coupe) and four-door hatchback (sedan). The vehicle debuted in Japan in 1985 as the Honda Quint Integra before going on sale a year later in North America as part of the all-new (at the time) Acura lineup. The Honda Integra was considered to be a mid-sized car by Japanese standards.įirst Generation(1986-1989) First generation Under the Honda line up, the Integra was near the middle, slotting above smaller cars such as the Honda City, the Honda Civic, and the Honda Logo. Enthusiasts refer to the Acura TSX as the second coming of the Integra GS-R sedan. Although a sedan was available for the first three generations of the Integra, it was dropped when the vehicle transitioned to its fourth generation "DC5" platform, sold as the Acura RSX in North America. It was Acura's smallest and least expensive model produced, designed to offer a competitor to vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, which was the most well known and popular "hot hatch" of the 1980s when the Integra was introduced. The Integra, sold as an Acura in North America, and as a Honda elsewhere, was a small, sporty vehicle sold both as a 4-door sedan and as a 3-door hatchback. ![]()

The dude in me11/9/2023 ![]() ![]() In order to do the real Dong-hyun a favour and deal with the bullies at school, Pan-soo decides to participate in a training montage to get his new, chunky body in shape. As he is greeted with a deluge of weight-related quips, he certainly doesn’t look like the heart-throb fans of his music have come to recognise.īut the filmmaking team knew what they were doing when they cast a handsome popstar in the lead role. To physically present the kid, Jung begins the film wearing a fat suit and facial prosthetics. One of Pan-soo’s biggest challenges in Dong-hyun’s body is managing the overweight teen’s ambitious appetite. Whilst Dong-hyun, now within the older man’s body, is trapped in a coma, Pan-soo must try to manage the chaos unfolding in his crime organisation whilst donning a school uniform and being a son to a man he has never met. The mob boss wakes up, but he doesn’t recognise his body, and no one recognises him. So, when Kim Dong-hyun (Jung) falls from a rooftop (a fatal misstep when retrieving a stolen shoe from bullies) he lands directly on top of Pan-soo. Having already performed well at the South Korean box office at the start of the year, The Dude In Me hopes to charm international audiences into seats with the premise of a middle-aged mob boss suddenly finding himself in the body of an introverted, chubby teenager.Ī mysterious restaurateur decides to intervene in gangster Jang Pan-soo’s (Park Sung-woong) life of crime by placing him in the right place at the right time. Lady Gaga has A Star Is Born and Jung Jin-young (member of K-pop boy group B1A4) has The Dude In Me – a flamboyant body swap comedy. 0 LFF ’19 – ‘The Dude In Me’ is Funny but Overstays its Welcome.It’s a simple, somewhat enjoyable film that just shouldn’t be on top of your “Things to Watch” list. Don’t come watching this movie expecting to be deeply moved. It shows a glimpse of the ongoing problem of bullying in schools and criminal organizations taken place in South Korea. Though the movie could have been spruced up a bit, it’s not a complete waste of time. Yet, not all movies are the same, and no one can expect them to be. Even if this wasn’t a typical gushy rom-com, I expected more from the movie. Good dramas really affect a viewer’s emotions, which is expected from a Korean movie. I would like to have seen the movie more dramatized and with more action. The humor didn’t particularly make me laugh out loud, and the plot was rather slow. There is nothing special about this movie that makes it stand out. After Pan-Soo starts working out, all the high school girls start to fawn over him too. It’s hard to not fall in love with the teenage version of Pan-Soo. Pan-Soo fights them, showing exactly that.Īll the fight scenes in “The Dude in Me” are portrayed breathtakingly with the angles. The audience already knows what type of person he is, and he is not going to take any crap these high schoolers give him. Watching Pan-Soo go to high school gave an exhilarating feeling. Laughter is a result of this, as Pan-Soo and Dong-Hyun are not the happiest in their new bodies, but it is enjoyable for the audience to watch them struggle and make do with things. Overall, the movie is lighthearted with the main characters figuring out their new situations. When Dong-Hyun wakes up in Pan-Soo’s body, he does not fit the criminal character. He is reunited with his true love, but he can’t exactly be with her in a teenage body. ![]() The plot gets complicated when Pan-Soo meets his daughter he didn’t know he had. Meanwhile, he loses weight and becomes popular throughout the school. Pan-Soo realizes how difficult Dong-Hyun’s life is when he’s bullied in high school, but Pan-Soo is more mature than these silly high school kids and gets revenge. Pan-Soo is forced to live a high school life while his real body is stuck in the hospital in a coma. When Pan-Soo wakes up, it is in Dong-Hyun’s body. His ideas don’t go according to plan when he’s walking down a street and Dong-Hyun falls off a building, landing on top of Pan-Soo. Pan-Soo is a great fighter, and he might even become the next leader of the organization he’s a part of. It is categorized as a fantasy and comedy film. “The Dude in Me” is a Korean movie that was recently released earlier in 2019. It might seem inconvenient when you switch bodies with someone completely different than you, but for Dong-Hyun, a chubby high school student, and Pan-Soo, a member of a criminal organization, switching bodies was exactly what they needed. ![]()

Jordan 1 court purple11/9/2023 ![]() ![]() The 2011 release of the Air Jordan 13 “Playoff” was the first reissue of one Michael Jordan’s most popular signature designs, recognized for being worn during multiple games during the 1998 NBA Playoffs. Other clover-colored elements on the sneaker include a bright green embroidered Jumpman logo on the tongue. The dual-tone sneaker combines an upper of white leather with hits of green suede. The 2011 release of the Air Jordan 13 Retro “Ray Allen” Player Exclusive features the “White/Clover” colorway worn by Ray Allen when he broke the record for three-pointers made. ![]() Pops of color paint the shoe, from the emerald green leather overlays to the pink accents along the outsole and the collar. The 11-year-old helped design the sneaker, incorporating powerful details from his personal life into the shoe such as the seven pills he takes daily to manage his disease and “Crohn’s” written on the outsole. Air Jordan 13 Retro “Doernbecher”Ĭhosen as the Jordan Brand Nike Doernbecher Freestyle silhouette in 2015, the Air Jordan 13 Retro “Doernbecher” honors Crohn’s Disease patient John Charles. The style features a mostly black-and-white upper with hits of “True Red” along the tongue and outsole. The shoe remains true to the original, even arriving in the same box. The 2018 release of the Air Jordan 13 Retro “He Got Game” marked the 20th anniversary of Denzel Washington famously wearing the style in Spike Lee’s 1998 film of the same name. This blacked out version of the shoe is a stealthy take on the classic Air Jordan 13 silhouette and an ode to Jordan’s movements on the court. Fitting its moniker, the monochromatic colorway presents itself in a suede upper, mesh overlays and rope laces, with the latter two accented with reflective details. The Air Jordan 13 Retro “Black Cat” kicked off 2017 by paying homage to one of Michael Jordan’s nicknames. The sneaker’s “Flint Grey” suede heel, mudguard and mid panel mix with a “French Blue” mesh and white upper and white toe box, harkening back to the OG. This version brought back the shoe’s hi-vis reflective detailing, making it closer to the original than the retros before it. The drop corresponded with the final episodes of the Chicago Bulls documentary The Last Dance - an aptly-timed release considering “Flint” originally debuted in 1998 as Jordan and his Bulls were making their way towards a 6th NBA Championship. The 2020 release of the Air Jordan 13 Retro “Flint” marked the fourth time the beloved colorway was used on the silhouette. The final touch, the iconic green jewel on the ankle, brings a holographic element to the sneaker. The style’s signature reflective 3M upper appears alongside a black tumbled leather toe box. Remaining faithful to the original, the sneaker is outfitted in a Chicago Bulls-inspired “True Red” that envelops the suede overlays and Jumpman branding on the tongue. In 2017, the Air Jordan 13 Retro “Bred” brought back the silhouette’s colorway from 1998, which was also reintroduced in 20. The color blocking on the sneaker remains true to the 1998 version of the shoe, which was seen on Michael Jordan during the NBA Playoffs in the same year. The eponymous hue appears in a synthetic suede to round out the mix of textures. Featuring a leather upper in black, the sneaker has matching mesh overlays, tongues, interior linings and shoelaces to maintain its traditionally sports-ready look. Let’s start with some matching purple outfits.To usher in 2022, Jordan Brand has applied the highly-collectible “Court Purple” colorway to the Air Jordan 13. A perfect summer pair! Let’s see how everyone styles these Jordan 1 High Court Purple's. The Jordan 1 High Court Purple (W) have a white base with some purple details and one of our favorite silhouettes, the Jordan 1 silhouette. They may give you some metallic vibes, because they look very similar to the Jordan 1 High Metallic Navy from 2016 and the Jordan 1 High Metallic Red from 2017. The Jordan 1 High Court Purple (W) released in March this year and was a Womens release. So, this time we searched for the best Jordan 1 High Court Purple (W) outfits! A very underrated pair that definitely deserves more love! Let’s search for some outfit inspiration again! It’s summer and that means we’re ready to wear some white sneakers. ![]()

Fantavision ps2 fireworks11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() The most common causes of this issue are: PS VR2 launches Februalongside Fantavision 202X.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. It also seems likely that Fantavision 202X will meet a similar fate as its predecessor, as when compared to the rest of PS VR2's launch line-up, it doesn't seem like it has the most compelling gameplay loop - though its graphics are sure to earn some praise from critics. Fantavision 202X is also running on Unreal Engine, so its physics systems and lighting are sure to be top-notch, especially for a VR title. ![]() The two Sense controllers, for instance, will apparently play a large role in Fantavision 202X, using haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to elevate the experience. ![]() Launching 23 years after the first game, Fantavision 202X is fulfilling the same role its predecessor, with Sony using it to show off the graphical power of the new PS VR2 headset along with some of its unique features. Releasing alongside PlayStation VR2 in February 2023, Fantavision 202X is a fully-fledged sequel to the original PS2 launch classic. In the end, Fantavision did exactly what Sony wanted it to do, and now Fantavision 202X seeks to do the same with a new set of Sony hardware: PlayStation VR2. Fantavision's bright and colorful displays of fireworks showcased what the PS2 was capable of, as did the game's consistently high framerate. Though critics weren't too keen on Fantavision's actual gameplay, calling it too repetitive and lackluster, the one point of unanimous praise was the game's visuals and performance. Japan Studio's Fantavision quickly became Sony's number-one marketing tool for this, with its particle effect technology being some of the best in the industry at the time. One of the biggest technological features the PS2 was pushing was graphical fidelity, and in particular, particle effects. The technological leap between the original PlayStation and the PlayStation 2 was vast, and Sony needed to show its audience just how far the PS2 was taking the medium in order to get them on board. Fantavision is a pretty simple game at its core, and though it didn't review too well, it ended up being one of the PS2's most memorable launch titles. The bigger the chain reaction, the more points they get. Fantavision is a puzzle game similar to the likes of Tetris, where players link together fireworks to cause chain reactions that earn the player points. RELATED: Horizon Call of the Mountain: Can Protagonist Ryas Really Be Redeemed? Fantavision 202X Is a Sequel to an Iconic PS2 Gameįantavision 202X is actually the long-awaited sequel to an iconic PlayStation 2 launch title, simply titled Fantavision. Along with heavy-hitters like Horizon: Call of the Mountain and The Dark Pictures: Switchback, PS VR2 is also launching with a game called Fantavision 202X, which has a rather interesting backstory. ![]() With better hardware all around, and some exciting new features like Sense controllers and eye-tracking, PS VR2 looks almost worth its eye-watering asking price, and its launch line-up helps to make the headset more worth the initial investment. Releasing on February 22 2023, PlayStation VR2 looks to be an improvement over its predecessor in every conceivable way. Flash forward six years, and it seems as though PSVR at least did well enough for Sony to give it another go, and PS VR2 launches early next year. While some gamers jumped straight on this offer, and loved the headset, VR enthusiasts weren't so quick to praise Sony's first attempt at VR, criticizing its poor controls and lacking hardware. With VR being such a niche product at the time, Sony designed PSVR to be a solid entry-level headset that offered lower fidelity for a much lower price point. When PlayStation VR released all the way back in October 2016, gamers were a little divided. ![]()

Spring bulb garden layout11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Taller plantings are easily noticed from farther away. A low-growing planting needs to be placed where you will be able to see it – next to a walkway or in a raised bed, for example. I like to plant the shorter grape hyacinth amid or in front of the mid-spring narcissus. When you purchase bulbs, the catalog and package will denote whether they are early-, mid- or late-season (spring) bloomers. You can plan your bulb garden for an ongoing show of color. Your artistic vision must factor in bulb height and the time of bloom, light, soil drainage and fertility. Planning a bulb display is almost as exciting as seeing the mass of bulbs come up. In New England and areas where winters are cold enough to freeze the ground, most bulbs are planted in fall, but there are tender summer bulbs that are spring planted and dug in fall for over-wintering in cool storage. Some are true bulbs others are corms or tubers. The term “bulb” has come to include a variety of plants with a large, swollen storage root or stem section from which a flowering plant grows each year. ![]() Here’s everything you need to know on planting fall bulbs in Maine. Then comes the show of narcissus and early tulips, reassuring us that it is time to plant peas and lettuce and fava beans, that we have made it, that tree leaves will unfurl, asparagus will go to fern and strawberries will bloom once again. ‘Yellow Winter’ aconite and bobbing white snowdrops yield to pastel crocuses and purple dwarf irises. Spring bulbs are the bright spots, the color-rich buoys of hope in a sea of mud and sloppy snow squalls. And as farmers adapt to the rising problem of climate change, it’s important to plan ahead for bulb planting. ![]() Maine winters are long, but our cool, wet spring season is even longer because of our impatient yearnings for fresh greens, dry paths and more color in the landscape. Plant spring bulbs now to bring early color, hope and joy to the garden. ![]()

Pixar storytelling rules11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Mullins and Murray had to create an emotional connection. Remember that heart is one of Pixar’s rules of storytelling. On how to make an audience care about JJ: ![]() JJ’s desire to keep the toys is the primary conflict of the short. Lou’s purpose expanded to get JJ to return the items he had stolen to the original owners. Mullins dreamed up JJ, a playground bully, who stole toys from other kids. A lost and found box is intended to collect lost items and return them to their owners, which gave Lou a built-in purpose. Mullins noted that John Lasseter has a rule about bringing inanimate objects to life through animation: you have to think about its purpose in the world. On the challenge of bringing a lost and found creature to life: I’m happy to say that Mullins and Murray shared a lot of non-spoiler details about their process of making this short film! I don’t want to give away any spoilers, so I’m keeping a lot of specific details about Lou to myself. when a toy-stealing bully ruins recess for kids on a playground, only one thing stands in his way: the Lost and Found box. Lou is about a lost-and-found box and the unseen creature within. I’ve seen the short film three times, and I have to say, the story of Lou is fantastic! Lou has all of Pixar’s storytelling elements. It makes sense that Pixar uses structure and priorities within their creative process to create only the best films, and that there are common threads throughout every single project. Up till that point, I didn’t understand that the requirements of a Pixar story were so simple to identify. Hearing this list of guidelines was an aha moment for me. Animation: The Pixar movie must be animated.Setting: Pixar movies must be able to transport the audience to a place that is exciting and new.Entertainment: The story has to be unpredictable and funny.The main character is flawed and he or she experiences personal growth. Pixar films create an emotional connection. The Pixar rules of storytelling go a long way in explaining what any story idea (including those 5-minute shorts) has to have in order for it to even be considered as a potential project. It was there that Mullins explained the basic Pixar rules of storytelling. Last weekend I attended a presentation with Dave Mullins and Dana Murray, the director and producer of Pixar’s newest animated short, Lou. Why did I find them to be so wonderful? Why did everyone seem to love them? What sort of magic does Pixar do? It turns out it’s all because of Pixar and the rules of storytelling. ![]() I’m not sure when it happened (probably when I got my first taste of the behind-the-scenes details at the Brave premiere back in 2012), but I slowly started wanting to know the why behind my love for the movies. They thoroughly entertained me, and it was enough. Until a few years ago, I was happy just loving Pixar films. I’ve loved every single one since seeing Toy Story for the first time so many years ago. It’s no secret that Disney and Pixar make magical movies. ![]() |
