Felinae
The Felinae are a subfamily of the family Felidae. This subfamily comprises the small cats having a bony hyoid, because of which they are able to purr but not roar. Other authors have proposed an alternative definition for this subfamily: as comprising only the living conical-toothed cat genera with two tribes, the Felini and Pantherini; thus excluding all fossil cat species. Characteristics The members of the Felinae have retractile claws that are protected by at least one cutaneous lobe. Their larynx is kept close to the base of the skull by an ossified hyoid. They can purr owing to the vocal folds being shorter than . The cheetah ''Acinonyx'' does not have cutaneous sheaths for guarding claws. Taxonomy The term 'Felini' was first used in 1817 by Gotthelf Fischer von Waldheim, at the time for all the cat species that had been proposed as belonging to the genus ''Felis''. In 1917, Reginald Innes Pocock also subordinated the following genera to the Felinae that had been ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bedknobs And Broomsticks
''Bedknobs and Broomsticks'' is a 1971 American live-action animated musical fantasy film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Bill Walsh for Walt Disney Productions. It is loosely based upon the books '' The Magic Bedknob; or, How to Become a Witch in Ten Easy Lessons'' (1944) and ''Bonfires and Broomsticks'' (1947) by English children's author Mary Norton. The film stars Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson, John Ericson, and introduces Ian Weighill, Cindy O'Callaghan, and Roy Snart. During the early 1960s, ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks'' entered development when the negotiations for the film rights to ''Mary Poppins'' (1964) were placed on hold. When the rights were acquired, the film was shelved repeatedly due to the similarities with ''Mary Poppins'' until it was revived in 1969. Originally at a length of 139 minutes, ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks'' was edited down to just under two hours prior to its premiere at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. As with ''Mary ...

Ellen Ripley
Ellen Louise Ripley, often referred to simply as Ripley, is a fictional character and protagonist of the ''Alien'' film series, played by American actress Sigourney Weaver. The character earned Weaver worldwide recognition, and the role remains her most famous to date. Ridley Scott, director of the first film in the series, '' Alien'', made the decision early in production to switch Ripley from a standard male action hero to a heroine. '' Alien'' (1979) and '' Aliens'' (1986) were heralded for challenging gender roles, particularly in the science fiction, action, and horror genres. Weaver's performances are also highly praised: for ''Aliens'', she earned her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, which is now seen as a landmark since the Academy, to that point, had given little recognition to the genres of science-fiction and horror. For her role in the franchise, Weaver has also been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, a ...

Jones (fictional Cat)
Jones, commonly known as Jonesy, is a fictional ginger American Shorthair cat from the ''Alien'' franchise. He is a ship's cat on the ''Nostromo'', the setting of the first film. Jonesy is also the protagonist of a book adaptation of ''Alien'', ''Jonesy: Nine Lives on the Nostromo''. In ''Alien'', Jonesy was portrayed by four lookalike cat actors. Character biography In ''Alien'' Owing to Jonesy' small size and mass, he comfortably shared a hypersleep capsule with one of the crew members during the ''Nostromo'''s long journeys. When the Alien began stalking the ship's occupants, Jonesy was apparently of little interest to the creature (most likely because his biology made him unsuitable for reproduction) and he survived the incident unscathed. However, he was indirectly responsible for the death of Brett; when the latter pursued Jonesy through the ship's cargo hold, seeking to catch him so that he would not be accidentally picked up on the motion trackers being used by the ...

The Time Machine
''The Time Machine'' is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device. Utilizing a frame story set in then-present Victorian England, Wells' text focuses on a recount of the otherwise anonymous Time Traveller's journey into the far future. A work of future history and speculative evolution, ''Time Machine'' is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells' era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively. It is believed that Wells' depiction of the Eloi as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
