Will McKinley<p>Just saw PYGMALION (1938) on 35mm at the Paris Theater in NYC. </p><p>Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard had roughly the same age difference as Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, but their chemistry is infinitely more genuine.</p><p>George Bernard Shaw’s Oscar-winning adaptation of his play feels like a screwball comedy. Delightful. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FilmMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FilmMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pygmalion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pygmalion</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MyFairLady" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyFairLady</span></a></p>
AnthonyOver 2,000 years ago Ovid wrote about a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he carved, imputing the ability to love to an arrangement of rock. Today we impute the ability to think to an arrangement of silicon. Stories of breathing life into non-life have been with us for a very long time, yet somehow we're stuck in the same place.<br><br><a href="https://buc.ci?t=ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=genai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenAI</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=generativeai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=agi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AGI</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=pygmalion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pygmalion</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=golem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Golem</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=pinocchio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pinocchio</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=talos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Talos</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=frankenstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Frankenstein</a><br>
Bevan Thomas<p>In Roman mythology, the sculptor Pygmalion fell in love with the beautiful statue he'd carved out of ivory alabaster. He even began to woo it. The goddess Venus was so touched by Pygmalion's passion that the next time he kissed the statue, she turned it into a real woman.<br>🎨 Jean-Baptiste Regnault</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MythologyMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MythologyMonday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BookChatWeekly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookChatWeekly</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHaunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>31DaysofHaunting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/GreekMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreekMythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/RomanMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RomanMythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Greece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greece</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Roman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Roman</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Pygmalion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pygmalion</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Venus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Venus</span></a></p>
Luke Dorny<p>So-called ‘lucky’ people tend to have more family, friends, mentors, teachers, etc. that may subconsciously 'expect' more of them and encourage curiosity / achievement.</p><p>‘Unlucky’ people may have fewer people giving them encouragement.</p><p>These persons perceived as ‘lucky' also somehow seem more enthused towards curiousity and achievement.</p><p>Then there are people who purely make ‘luck’ for themselves regardless of their environment with their own expectations. </p><p><a href="https://typo.social/tags/pygmalion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pygmalion</span></a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/galatea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>galatea</span></a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/selfFulfilling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfFulfilling</span></a></p>
