Getting Recognized for American Pie “Got a Bit Tedious” – The Hollywood Reporter

Movies
Eugene Levy has had many iconic roles throughout his career, but he seems a little relieved that the films he gets recognized for the most has changed over the years. For decades, the Cheaper by the Dozen 2 actor was known for playing Jim’s dad in American Pie, a movie where four teenage boys enter a pact before graduation with the goal to lose their virginity by prom night. In the 1999 film, he catches his character’s son (Jason Biggs as Jim) in quite a sexual situation involving an apple pie.…

Why its use is almost never justifiedPhoto by dilja96 on UnsplashThe visualization of quantitative data through charts and graphs has the purpose of making the data easier to understand and to derive valuable insights from it. Pie charts, however, tend to do the opposite and obscure the underlying quantities of the data presented. This is mainly because humans are much better at interpreting lengths and heights rather than estimating quantities from angles, which is the skill needed to read a pie chart. As the…

Tess Douglas 0
Entertainment
In the early 1970s, life in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, was dreary, says Christine Beales. “It was dead. Growing up there you just had to get out.”So she did. Christine lived in Rome between 1972 and 1974; and upon returning began a romance with a young folk singer named Trevor Beales, who had also felt the need to escape. He had been travelling in Europe and America; on the latter trip he carried stacks of demo tapes of music he’d made in the early 1970s to take to record companies. “He always had this strong belief…

Sean promises a party that’ll take the friends straight back to their 20s — much to everyone’s embarrassment. No one can agree on when the first golden age of webcomics was, but whenever it was, Meredith Gran’s Octopus Pie was part of it. Originally running from 2007-2017, it was a contemporary slice-of-life comic capturing the lives of Brooklyn 20-somethings in all their awkward and hilarious glory and has been called a masterpiece and an all-time great. Since the strip ended (not not before it published in print by…

DATA VISUALIZATIONWhat to do when pie charts don’t seem to be the best way to visualize your data?Photo by sheri silver on UnsplashPie charts are one of the most intuitive charts to use. They display the distribution of a variable between several characteristics in a compact manner. In practice I see many presentation decks from colleagues that use pie charts to display some critical data. While they are sometimes relevant, pie charts are definitely not the best way to visualize data for some use cases.In this article I…

Movies
Credit: Universal Pictures Get ready for another rowdy coming of age story in the form of a new American Pie film, which is inbound from the writing talents of Sujata Day, the mind behind Definition Please, and the star of Insecure. At this point in time, not a whole lot is known about the new entry to the long-running raunchy comedy series besides the Day’s writing credit, originally reported by THR, so it is unclear whether it will see the return of the cast from the mainline films or if it will be another…
