Она далеко не сразу пришла в профессию, но, решив стать актрисой, больше не может представить свою жизнь без мира кино. Начинала актриса свою карьеру со съёмок в сериале «Универ» и вот уже три сезона играет беспощадного следователя в сериале «Невский». Екатерина Рокотова стремительна, спонтанна и непоседлива, она не может сидеть без дела и больше всего на свете ценит свободу. И при этом она несколько лет прожила под тотальным контролем, за ней следили днём и ночью, все её разговоры прослушивали, а каждый шаг снимали.

Шоу-бизнес: Он подарил ей «Душу», а она разбила ему голову каблуком: Почему расстались Дмитрий Маликов и Наталья Ветлицкая

Когда 18-летний Дмитрий Маликов закрутил роман с 24-летней Натальей Ветлицкой, Андрей Разин предупреждал его: “Не вздумай делать Ветлицкой предложение! Это будет крах! Вспомни Женю Белоусова!". Тем не менее, Дмитрий и Наталья прожили вместе три года в гражданском браке. По словам Ветлицкой, семья Маликова была категорически против их союза, считая её слишком непостоянной и легкомысленной. Ситуацию накалило и то, что однажды Ветлицкая ударила Маликова каблуком по голове, после чего ему пришлось некоторое время ходить с перебинтованной головой.

Кино: 6 фильмов, которые стали популярней книг, по которым их сняли: «Дьявол носит Prada» и не только

В мире литературы и кино зачастую происходит интересное взаимодействие между книгами и их экранизациями. Читатели нередко влюбляются в атмосферу произведений, персонажей и сюжетные линии, а затем с нетерпением ожидают, когда же их любимые истории будут адаптированы для большого экрана. Однако, как показывает практика, не всегда экранизации оправдывают ожидания поклонников. Но в этой статье мы рассмотрим несколько фильмов и сериалов, которые, по мнению зрителей, напротив, превзошли свои литературные оригиналы, добавив новые краски и впечатления.

История и археология: Как вдова Булгакова забывалась в объятиях «советского Киплинга» и параллельно крутила роман с другим женатым писателем

Любимые женщины Булгакова становились прототипами его литературных героинь. На Маргариту из бессмертного романа писателя вдохновила Елена Шиловская, с которой Булгаков оставался до последнего вздоха. Эту загадочную женщину, променявшую дом богатого мужа-генерала на сырую комнату писателя, за глаза называли колдуньей. Ведь даже после смерти мужа она продолжала кружить головы самым видным деятелям. И по слухам, ею в какой-то момент заинтересовался первый человек страны.

Кино: В 17 вышла замуж за 26-летнего Кончаловского, а любила больше его маму: Почему Наталия Аринбасарова оказалась «скучной женой» и как живет после 3 разводов

Она сыграла больше 70 ролей в кино и сериалах и перестала сниматься всего пару лет назад. Впервые она появилась на экранах в 1965 году в фильме «Первый учитель», за роль в котором получила Золотой кубок Вольпи на Венецианском кинофестивале. Никто даже не догадывался поначалу, что в кино она попала по ошибке. За время съёмок она успела выйти замуж за Андрона Кончаловского, который после развода уверял, будто ему было скучно с женой, слишком уж она покладистая. Сама Наталия Аринбасарова позже уверяла, будто маму Кончаловского любила даже больше, чем мужа.

Шоу-бизнес: Отжала квартиру хоккеиста, вышла замуж за генерала: Реальная судьба Людмилы из «Москвы слезам не верит»

Историю Катерины Тихомировой, рассказанную в фильме «Москва слезам не верит», придумал Валентин Черных, - именно он всего за 19 дней сочинил сценарий о трех подругах-провинциалках, отправившихся покорять столицу. Правда, в фильме основное внимание уделено Кате, а как жили Тоня и Людмила – по большей части осталось за кадром. Между тем, история Людмилы – не менее захватывающая и удивительная, чем история ее подруги. О ней подробно рассказано в книге «Москва слезам не верит», которую Черных выпустил спустя 14 лет после премьеры фильма.

Шоу-бизнес: Алкоголизм, «предательство» Джигарханяна и внебрачные дети: через что прошел Алексей Шевченков, чтобы кардинально изменить свою жизнь

Алексей Шевченков открыто признается, что алкоголь принес немало проблем в его жизнь. Он устраивал скандалы и драки, даже целый месяц жил на улице, моясь в театре, поставил под вопрос актерскую карьеру, а также разрушил многие отношения из-за пагубной привычки. В самый сложный период в жизни в него поверил лишь Армен Джигарханян, решив помочь и с работой, и с жильем. Позже благодаря поддержке окружающих Алексей Шевченков смог понять, что спиртные напитки – зло, и сконцентрироваться на карьере и семье. Как же все пришло к тому, что спустя несколько лет Шевченков оказался в разводе, а о сотрудничестве с Джигарханяном даже не вспоминает?

Error'd: What Goes Around

No obvious pattern fell out of last week's submissions for Error'd, but I did especially like Caleb Su's example.

Michael R. , apparently still job hunting, reports "I have signed up to outlier.ai to make some $$$ on the side. No instructions necessary."

 

Peter G. repeats a recurring theme of lost packages, saying "(Insert obligatory snark about Americans and geography. No, New Zealand isn't located in Washington DC)." A very odd coincidence, since neither the lat/long nor the zip code are particularly interesting.

 

"The Past Is Mutable," declares Caleb Su , explaining "In the race to compete with Gmail feature scheduling emails to send in the *future*, Outlook now lets you send emails in the past! Clearly, someone at Microsoft deserves a Nobel Prize for defying the basic laws of unidirectional time." That's thinking different.

 

Explorer xOneca explains this snapshot: "Was going to watch a Youtube video in DuckDuckGo, and while diagnosing why it wasn't playing I found this. It seems that youtube-nocookie.com actually *sets* cookies..?"

 

Morgan either found or made a funny. But it is a funny. "Now when I think about it I do like Option 3 more…" I rate this question a ????

Error'd: Alternative Maths

"Check out Visual Studio optimizing their rating system to only include the ratings used," shared Fiorenzo R. Imagine the performance gain!

 

"This sounds about right," says Colin A.

 

"Wow! Must snap up some sweet Anker kit with this amazing offer; but less than four days to go!" exclaims Dave L., who then goes on to explain
"The actual WTF is this though. I sent this image to Anker with this email: But only 3days left? I hope this offer continues!
Anker replied: Thank you for your feedback! I understand that you appreciate the savings on the Anker SOLIX PS100 Portable Solar Panel and wish the offer could be extended beyond the current 3-day limit. Your suggestion is valuable and will be considered for future promotions to enhance customer satisfaction. If you have any other requests or need further assistance, please let me know.
I for one welcome our new AI overlords. "

 

Graham F. almost stashed this away for later. "Looks like Dropbox could use a few lessons in how to do Maths! Although maybe their definition of 'almost' differs from mine."

 

Finally Joshua found time to report a brand-new date-handling bug. "Teams is so buggy; this one just takes the cake. I had to check with the unix cal program to make sure I wasn't completely bonkers." For the readers, November 8 this year is supposed to be a Friday. I suppose things could change after the US election.

 


Have a great weekend. Maybe I'll see you next Friday, or maybe all the weekdays will be renamed Thursday.

Error'd: Relatively Speaking

Amateur physicist B.J. is going on vacation, but he likes to plan things right down to the zeptosecond. "Assume the flight accelerates at a constant speed for the first half of the flight, and decelerates at the same rate for the second half. 1) What speed does the plane need to reach to have that level of time dilation? 2) What is the distance between the airports?"

 

Contrarily, Eddie R. was tired of vacation so got a new job, but right away he's having second thoughts. "Doing my onboarding, but they seem to have trouble with the idea of optional."

 

"Forget UTF-8! Have you heard about the new, hot encoding standard for 2024?!" exclaimed Daniel , kvetching "Well, if you haven't then Gravity Forms co. is going to change your mind: URLEncode everything now! Specially if you need to display some diacritics on your website. Throw away the old, forgotten UTF-8. Be a cool guy, just use that urlencode!"

 

Immediately afterward, Daniel also sent us another good example, this time from Hetzner. He complains "Hetzner says the value is invalid. Of course they won't say what is or isn't allowed. It wasn't the slash character, it was... a character with diacritics! Hetzner is clearly using US-ASCII created in 1960's."

 

Finally this week, we pulled something out of the archive from Boule de Berlin who wrote "Telekom, the biggest German ISP, shows email address validation is hard. They use a regex that limits the TLD part of an email address to 4 chars." Old but timeless.

Epic Gollum & Sméagol Figures by Asmus: Get Yours Now!

Gollum & Sméagol Figures from Asmus and Sideshow

If you’ve ever wished for “precioussss” versions of Gollum & Sméagol figures that capture every conflicted, crawling moment, look no further! Asmus and Sideshow have just dropped two stunning sixth scale figures, bringing The Lord of the Rings most tragic character to life. And thanks to Asmus, this marks an epic return to Middle-earth collectibles after a dark pandemic pause. In the words of Andy Hsu, Director of Asmus Toys: “Characters that were promised, were anticipated, that were wished for, are now back on the menu!

Starting with Gollum: this 20 cm figure has over 22 points of articulation for all those sinister, slinking poses we know and love. With a smirking expression, rotatable eyeballs, and haired hobbit feet, Gollum is ready to stir up trouble on your shelf. And no Middle-earth journey is complete without provisions – this little guy even comes with wrapped and unwrapped Lembas bread accessories.

Then there’s Sméagol — the tortured soul behind the sneer. Sméagol’s innocent, haunted expression captures the side of him that Tolkien fans cherish. He has the same exclusive Gollum body by Asmus, complete with seamless limbs and multiple hands and legs to bring his story to life.

So, if you’re ready to give these two a home, both Gollum and Sméagol are up for grabs, allowing fans to continue this adventure together with Asmus and Sideshow. And by purchasing through our links, you’ll support TheOneRing.net.

24 Blissfully Blepping Brainless Cat Memes Never Thinking, There's Nothing There, Not Even One Thought

Have you ever looked at a cat blepping? It might not happen often, but when it does it's hard to miss - because the cat gets stuck. The blep position is a brain draining cat position that makes the cat forget its tongue out… and everything else. They just forget. What is looking around at the world? They don't know, they forget, they will stare into the vast horizons of space with not one single thought going through their mind. Do they even have a mind to have thoughts in? No, they do not. Cats blepping have no thoughts in the tiny space between their ears.

Cat memes of blepping brain drain are very common - a lot of cat pawrents and feline fanatic fans love them. We gathered some and lost around 60 IQ points in the process, but they're so funny. Scroll down at your own risk. You can show your cat and you'll blep together while watching these cat memes.

25 Cool Cats Who Would Not Be Caught Dead Sitting Anywhere Other Than the Popular People's Table

There is little denying that if animals were to go to school, cats would be the cool kids. They are sassy enough, facetious enough, cliquey enough and most definitely cool enough to hold their prestigious pawsition. So we decided it would be rather confidence boosting to live vicariously through these trendsetting sweethearts to give you some much-needed comfort and confidence as you slip and slide towards the work week. Which is why we made this list of cool cats who would not be caught dead sitting anywhere other than the popular people's table. Make sure only share this list with other feline fanatics, unless you want some kooky canine connoisseur sitting at your table this week.

From the out of control cats who have used their positions of power and influence to start their own religions, to the fur-iously friendly feline who makes a point of getting all the pets from passers by, to the crafty catto who knows the value of a little lie when it comes to getting extra food.

"Roommate thinks my cat is 'our' cat": Fed Up Cat Owner Tries to Find Peaceful Ways to Navigate A Frustrating Feline Conflict

Those of us who have at some point in our lives lived with roommates know that having roommates can be a total disaster. Speaking from my own experience, moving to a big city and needing to find an apartment ASAP causes you to compromise on some things, but roommates shouldn't be one of them. Unfortunately, that's often the way the cookie crumbles. From messy roommates to roommates who use the kitchen to cook the weirdest and most unappealing foods, to roommates who never take their clothes out of the dryer, there often is much to be desired. 

For the original poster of the thread we are featuring today, a frustrating feline situation left them feeling confused and fed up as to how to approach their roommate. The roommate in question completely crossed the line when it came to OP's cat, often referring to the cat as their shared cat, rather than OP's cat. The kicker is that this cat is OP's childhood cat and of course, OP covers all of the cat's expenses. What would you do in a situation like this? We would have to move out at all costs.

27 Warm & Fuzzy Fall Feline Funnies Overflowing With Autumnal Affection for Snuggling Sweetly in Soft Sweaters

Good meowrning, feline fanatics, and happy Tuesday. A lot of people rant and rave over summer, but us? We love fall and winter. Why? Because it's sweater weather. We love sweaters. We love wearing sweaters, putting sweaters on our cats, snuggling in sweaters, sleeping in sweaters, heck, we would even exercise in sweaters if we could. There is nothing comfier than putting on a fuzzy sweater and burrowing your way under the blanket for ultimate comfort. 

These warm and fuzzy feline funnies are basically cat memes wrapped in soft sweaters. They're full of autumnal affection, heartwarming vibes, and they're purrfect for enjoying when you need to feel extra cozy (and, purrhaps, silly). We thought to ourselves, "how can one improve the purrfection that is cat memes?" - and the answer was simple: add the feeling of throwing on a sweater to them. So that we did. Grab your favorite sweater (cardigans and sweatshirts are also okay) and get ready for a catastrophe of comfort in the form of cat memes. You will be comfy, there is no escaping it.

21 Funny Feline Memes Meowing Loud Until You Laugh Because They're Blissful Fluffy Babies

Hello cat pawrents, how are you? And how is your cat baby? Yes, cats are babies, and that's not even disputable. If you are indeed a cat pawrent you probably don't need further convincing, but even if you are a cat pawrent or not, just think about it - Babies are small, and cats are smol. Babies need someone to feed them, cats demand someone to feed them. Babies need to sleep to grow up, cats need to sleep… just to sleep, all the time. Babies need their poopies cleaned, cats also need their poopies cleaned. The only conclusion we can draw from all of that is that cats are babies.

Down below you can find some cat babies in meme form, proving once and for all that cats are not just babies - they are the babies of the internet. Yup, the entirety of the internet. Grab your cat baby and see these memes together for a greater effect.

1-year-old siamese cat refuses to use the bathroom unless human accompanies him to the litter box, fed up feline owner seeks solutions: 'My cat demands bathroom reciprocity'

Cats are truly unique creatures. Much like us humans, each one has their own completely developed personality and quirks. Some cats are perpetual balls of energy, pausing from their mischief only to engage in a well deserved cat nap. Some cats are totally indifferent to your existence, you could provide them with treats, pets, the whole lot and still not receive much attention in return. And some cats need their favorite human to accompany them to the litter box any time they need to take care of business. The cat featured in the story we are covering today is the latter, and might we add, a total goofball. 

To be honest, this is a new one for us. We have yet to come across a cat who demands that their human be present during all bathroom activities. We've heard of cats who like to go to the bathroom while their humans are in the bathroom, to protect them from whatever evil lies dormant in the toilet, but yeah, this is a new one. What advice would you give to the original poster? All we can think of is to laugh and cry at the same time.
