It survived only in an incomplete print in the Soviet film archive, and a few other archives had copies of that print. Specialist researchers could see it, as I did while working on Herr Lubitsch Goes to Hollywood . (You can get a downloadable copy here .) Now the Museum of Modern Art has made a 4K restoration that played here at the Venice International Film Festival as a special screening on the night before the festival opening. Curator Dave Kehr introduced the film. Rosita has gained an unwarranted reputation as an inferior Lubitsch film.

They made their collective comic book debut in a 1965 issue of The Fantastic Four, the creative brainchildren of the two most legendary Marvel pillars, writer/editor Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Always ahead of his time, Kirby in particular did some of his most innovative and imaginative character designs while dreaming up the family: Black Bolt, the Inhumans' leader who can level a mountain with a single whisper; Medusa, who has complete

Daily Design Inspiration AoiroStudio Aug 31, 2017 Part of the Daily Design Inspiration series that started it all on Abduzeedo. This is where you'll find the most interesting things/finds/work curated by one of us to simply inspire your day. Furthermore, it's an opportunity to feature work from more designers, photographers, and artists in general that we haven't had the chance to write or feature about in the past.

For now we are going to stick to the simple format of images and links. I hope you enjoy and share with use via Twitter or our Tumblr . Until further notice, we'll display the images and the titles added to them. Because of little issues we had in the past, the images are still linked to their authors, we just won't mentioned who shared them like we used

If you are as convinced as we are that Titanium is probably the best material for utensil construction, and you already grabbed a pair of Feastform’s incredibly hardy spatula and tongs that were designed to last you multiple lifetimes, you may as well expand that arsenal with some eating tools too. Designed and manufactured by Esbit, the Ultra Lightweight Titanium Cutlery set are made from high-grade bio-compatible Titanium and come with similar faceted handles like the Feastform. These handles give the utensils a sturdy structure so no matter how thin the cross section of the cutlery is, it never bends or flexes… making the product as strong as it is light.

Perfect for the ardent outdoor traveler and even for use indoors, the classy yet indestructible titanium tools weigh just under 43 grams and stack together, secured by a silicone
