For almost 50 years, astronomers have puzzled over the youthful appearance of stars known as blue stragglers. Blue stragglers are the timeworn Hollywood starlets of the cosmos: They shine brightly, they are older than they appear, and they have, disconcertingly, gained mass at a late stage of life. “These blue, luminous stars should have used up their hydrogen fuel and flamed out long ago ...

... ends. In this sense, the movie struck me as being similar to the Gamera films that Shusuke Kaneko was making in Japan at roughly the same time, in that it seems like an attempt by its director to infuse a timeworn pop cultural figure with a new, more cutting-edge relevance. And I have to say that the attempt was largely successful, adding a whole new layer of interest alongside the self conscious ...

... simple story. By and large, the thinly disguised social commentary is over-the-top and absolute - it's Peaceful Noble Savages vs. Genocidal Capitalist Mining Corporation. Going native is a pretty timeworn trope by now, and Cameron's strict adherence to the formula, with no shades of grey, makes the movie less science fiction and more romatic fantasy. After all, in "Avatar," it ...

... , Stephen Lang. A great Disneyland ride of a movie, Avatar offers such an enchanting vision of the planet Pandora and the world of the indigenous Na'Vi that one very nearly overlooks its length and pedestrian, timeworn plot. The film's designers and art crew must have thought that they'd died and gone to heaven, as it's apparent from the outset that the producers spared no expense ...

... on the container. All the shine comes from a very thorough hand sanding and buffing with a Dremel rotary tool. It feels so smooth and timeworn in your hands, you'd swear it had been around for generations. ** Win Some Beads: Would you like to win a gift package of handmade beads made by me ...

... scientist. STELLAR MOSH PIT RESOLVES A MYSTERY For almost 50 years, astronomers have puzzled over the youthful appearance of stars known as blue stragglers. Blue stragglers are the timeworn Hollywood starlets of the cosmos: They shine brightly, they are older than they appear, and they have, disconcertingly, gained mass at a late stage of life. ...

... automation. Part of the awareness problem is how we describe what we do, and more importantly its benefit. More often that not, all of the players in the space (including Genius) revert to the timeworn moniker of “B2B Marketing” to distinguish “Marketing Automation” from “B2C Marketing or “ecommerce”. The problem with “B2B” is it just doesn ...

... a garage that has in it three things: table tennis, darts, and a 48-star American flag (I know, we're REALLY ambitious people). I thought the third item might take some time to find, but just a quick search on Etsy and I've already found two, and both pretty reasonably priced. 5' x 9.5' flag from Livingston and Porter ($148). 1920's 3' x 5' flag from Timeworn ($95).

... Lottie Moon is so significant to Southwestern Seminary and the Southern Baptist Convention 'in the aftermath of the conservative renaissance of the convention.'" Patterson repeated a timeworn story of how Moon was once engaged to Southern Seminary professor Crawford H. Toy, but broke off the engagement because Toy had "imbibed historical-critical thinking" and developed a ...

shortly before the holidays were upon us, i whipped up a new pair of fingerless mitts for a dear friend, as the ones i made her a few years back were more than likely timeworn.  plus, i wanted to make her something : just because.  i had picked up this new-to-me type of noro that is soft + subtle and possessed the perfect silvery greys and charcoals that are her signature.  and ...

... prevents him from even standing up on his own. The unfortunate man fortunately has a mother who chose to forever shoulder him in a bamboo basket, caring for him and keeping him in touch with the world outside of their timeworn earthen house. "This is probably the 20th basket I've sat in, after the others broke," said 35-year-old Xiong, who weighs 23 kg.... Xiong was brought up in ...

... Hollywood Reporter: "While the setting is sleek and filled with clever details, the story, in which one good vampire teams with a scrappy band of free-range humans to fight the power, is timeworn and predictable." From the Village Voice: "Wearisome "Ain't it cool?" video-game splatter-violence is all that's memorable of the action, while a (mixed) metaphorical ...

... such lean economic times, it seems a bit frivolous to release these... Here is the description for these pants taken straight from the horse's mouth (J.Crew website): "To achieve the timeworn charm of those pants you simply can't part with, we garment-dyed and destroyed these chinos for 400 minutes, then carefully repatched and washed them to look like you've worn them for years ...

... -- a whitewashed version of Washington Heights reality. The show is rarely dull, often engaging, but overly earnest, and, despite the Salsa beat and pop-and-lock dance moves, a bit timeworn and predictable.  Moreover, the tour performers can't hold a candle to the original Broadway cast. Yes, comparisons are odious and unfair. But there wasn't a single person on stage at the Opera ...

... of yore, offering its nostalgic menu in just as nostalgic environs. Its white paneled walls are covered in a mishmash of framed prints and kitschy china. Butter-yellow stools line a tiny bar where timeworn wooden shelves hold a shimmering array of glassware. Soulful tunes, such as Bill Withers crooning "Ain't No Sunshine," top off the yesteryear vibe. Garnett's serves a ...
