negative: Painting Painting is the practice of applying paint , pigment , color or other medium to a solid surface ( support base ) . The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush , but other implements , such as knives , sponges , and airbrushes , can be used .   Painting is a mode of creative expression , and the forms are numerous . Drawing , gesture ( as in gestural painting ) , composition , narration ( as in narrative art ) , or abstraction ( as in abstract art ) , among other aesthetic modes , may serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner . Paintings can be naturalistic and representational ( as in a still life or landscape painting ) , photographic , abstract , narrative , symbolistic ( as in Symbolist art ) , emotive ( as in Expressionism ) , or political in nature ( as in Artivism ) .   A portion of the history of painting in both Eastern and Western art is dominated by spiritual motifs and ideas . Examples of this kind of painting range from artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery , to Biblical scenes rendered on the interior walls and ceiling of the Sistine Chapel , to scenes from the life of Buddha or other images of Eastern religious origin .   In art , the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action . The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls , paper , canvas , wood , glass , lacquer , clay , leaf , copper and concrete , and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials including sand , clay , paper , plaster , gold leaf , as well as objects .

It is typically used for covering large surfaces with an even coating of liquid . Spray guns can be either automated or hand-held and have interchangeable heads to allow for different spray patterns . Single color aerosol paint cans are portable and easy to store .

negative: Architectural painting Architectural painting ( also Architecture painting ) is a form of genre painting where the predominant focus lies on architecture , both outdoors views and interiors . While architecture was present in many of the earliest paintings and illuminations , it was mainly used as background or to provide rhythm to a painting . In the Renaissance , architecture was used to emphasize the perspective and create a sense of depth , like in Masaccio 's Holy Trinity from the 1420s .   In Western art , architectural painting as an independent genre developed in the 16th century in Flanders and the Netherlands , and reached its peak in 16th and 17th century Dutch painting . Later , it developed in a tool for Romantic paintings , with e.g. views of ruins becoming very popular . Closely related genres are architectural fantasies and trompe-l'oeils , especially illusionistic ceiling painting , and cityscapes .

negative: Painterliness Painterliness is a concept based on the German term malerisch ( painterly ) , a word popularized by Swiss art historian Heinrich Wölfflin ( 1864 -- 1945 ) to help focus , enrich and standardize the terms being used by art historians of his time to characterize works of art . It is the opposite of linear , plastic or formal linear design .   An oil painting is painterly when there are visible brushstrokes , the result of applying paint in a less than completely controlled manner , generally without closely following carefully drawn lines . Works characterized as either painterly or linear can be produced with any painting media , oils , acrylics , watercolors , gouache , etc. . Some artists whose work could be characterized as painterly are Pierre Bonnard , Francis Bacon , Vincent van Gogh , Rembrandt , Renoir , and John Singer Sargent . In watercolor it might be represented by the early watercolors of Andrew Wyeth .   In contrast , linear could describe the painting of artists such as Botticelli , Michelangelo , and Ingres , whose works depend on creating the illusion of a degree of three-dimensionality by means of `` modeling the form '' through skillful drawing , shading , and an academic rather than impulsive use of color . Contour and pattern are more in the province of the linear artists , while dynamism is the most common trait of painterly works .   The Impressionists , Fauvists and the Abstract Expressionists tended strongly to be painterly movements .   Painterly art often makes use of the many visual effects produced by paint on canvas such as chromatic progression , warm and cool tones , complementary and contrasting colors , broken tones , broad brushstrokes , sketchiness , and impasto .

negative: Parade All-America Boys Basketball Team The Parade All-America Boys Basketball Team was an annual selection by Parade that nationally honored the top high school boys basketball players in the United States . It was part of the Parade All-American series that originated with boys basketball before branching to other sports . Started by the Sunday magazine in 1957 , it had been the longest ongoing selection of high school basketball All-Americans in the country at the time of its final selections in 2015 . Many of the honorees went on to star as college and professional basketball players . As of March 2011 , there were 162 Parade All-Americans that were playing in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) .   At its onset , the selections were handled by a New York-based public relations firm , Publicity Enterprises , which was led by Haskell Cohen , who was a former sportswriter as well as the publicity director for the NBA at the time ( 1950 -- 1969 ) . The first All-America team in 1957 consisted of three five-player teams , and the first-team selections appeared on television on The Steve Allen Show . The following year , 20 players were selected and participated in the first annual Parade All-American high school game . The list later expanded to 40 of the nation 's top players , divided into four teams of 10 each . Kareem Abdul-Jabbar , known then as Lew Alcindor , became the first sophomore in 1963 to be named a Parade All-American . Earl Jones was the next to earn the distinction 15 years later as a sophomore , and subsequently joined Abdul-Jabbar as the first two players to be named to the first team on three occasions . `` It was a real thrill for me to make it on the Parade list early , when I was just a sophomore . The recognition is a great thing for kids to shoot for , '' said Abdul-Jabbar as part of the announcement for the 2000 team .   Starting in 2011 , the selections were compiled in conjunction with Sporting News and their writer , Brian McLaughlin . Candidates also began to be limited to players in their senior year . The selections went to a single-team format in 2012 , and the size was reduced from 40 to a 20-player first team in 2014 . McLaughlin described the selections as mostly Division I college-bound players that had a stellar senior year in high school . Additionally , Parade differentiated itself from most other All-American teams by not focusing solely on a player 's standing among college recruiters . For example , some selectors might choose top recruits that had been injured much of their senior year . Parade discontinued its boys basketball All-America selections after 2015 .

negative: 1991 NBA Finals The 1991 NBA Finals was the championship round of the 1990 -- 91 NBA season . It was also the first NBA Finals broadcast by NBC after 17 years with CBS .   The documentary `` Learning to Fly , '' narrated by Jeff Kaye , recaps Chicago 's successful first championship season . The theme song is `` Learning to Fly '' by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers .   The Chicago Bulls of the Eastern Conference took on the Los Angeles Lakers of the Western Conference for the title , with Chicago having home court advantage . It was Michael Jordan 's first NBA Finals appearance , Magic Johnson 's last , and the last NBA Finals for the Lakers until 2000 . The Bulls would win the series , 4-1 . Jordan averaged 31.2 points on 56 % shooting , 11.4 assists , 6.6 rebounds , 2.8 steals and 1.4 blocks en route to his first NBA Finals MVP Award .   The series was not the first time that the Bulls and Lakers faced off in the playoffs . Prior to 1991 , they met for four postseason series ( 1968 , 1971 , 1972 and 1973 ) , all Lakers victories . Chicago was a member of the Western Conference at the time and moved into the East in 1981 . The 1991 Finals marked the first time the Bulls defeated the Lakers in a playoff series .   This series would mark the end of the Lakers Showtime era and the beginning of the Bulls ' dynasty . After winning five championships in eight finals appearances in the 1980s , the Lakers would struggle for the rest of the 1990s before winning five championships between the 1999-2000 and 2009-10 seasons .   The 1991 Lakers were led by Johnson , already in his thirties , playing in his last full year , as was fellow All-Star teammate James Worthy ; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had retired two seasons earlier . The Bulls , led by NBA MVP Michael Jordan and superstar small forward Scottie Pippen , would win five more championships after 1991 in a seven-year span , cementing their status as a dynasty before struggling badly in a post-MJ era that saw them take several years to even become average .   When it was all said and done , Michael Jordan became only the third man in NBA history ( after George Mikan and Abdul-Jabbar ) to capture the scoring title and the NBA Finals Championship in the same season .   Until 2015 , the Bulls were the last team to win an NBA championship despite fielding a full roster lacking in championship or Finals experience . None of the Bulls players had logged even a minute of NBA Finals experience prior to this .

negative: 1980 NBA Finals The 1980 NBA World Championship Series was the championship round of the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) 's 1979 -- 80 season , and the conclusion of the season 's playoffs . The Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia 76ers 4 games to 2 .   Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the league 's MVP , but midway through Game 5 , the Lakers center suffered a severely sprained ankle . He managed to come back in the game in the fourth quarter to lead the Lakers to victory and a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series . But the Lakers still had to travel to Philadelphia for Game 6 . Abdul-Jabbar was listed as out of Game 6 , although 76ers coach Billy Cunningham was quoted as saying `` I wo n't believe he 's not playing until their plane lands and he 's not on it . '' As it turned out , Kareem did not make the trip and was listed as doubtful if Game 7 had been needed .   In Game 6 , Magic Johnson played what may have been the greatest game of his career . Playing on the road , Johnson ( a 6 ' 9 '' rookie point guard ) started the game at center and eventually played all five positions in a dominating performance . Scoring a game-high 42 points and grabbing a game-high 15 rebounds -- and handing out seven assists -- Johnson led the Lakers to the NBA crown . The Lakers also received strong performances from Jamaal Wilkes with 37 points and 10 rebounds , and Norm Nixon . Jim Chones played strong defense on 76ers center Darryl Dawkins , while Mark Landsberger provided rebounding off the bench , and little used Brad Holland chipped in eight key points .   Magic Johnson 's performance in Game 6 and the series earned him the 1980 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) . What made Johnson 's performance even more remarkable was that he was an NBA rookie -- and , indeed , one who had left college after only two years , and was only 20 years old . `` Jamaal Wilkes had an unbelievable game '' , said Johnson in 2011 . `` Everybody talked about my 42 -LSB- points -RSB- , but it was also his -LSB- 37-point effort -RSB- . ''   On a side note , here , in Game 4 of the 1980 Finals , Julius Erving executed the legendary Baseline Move , an incredible , behind-the-board reverse layup that seemed to defy gravity . Play-by-play announcer Brent Musburger has noted that Erving made such moves almost routinely in his ABA days -- but the ABA had no national TV contract in those days . This Game 4 move , played to a national audience in a title game , has probably become Julius Erving 's most famous move .   This was also the first NBA Finals to make use of the three-point line , which debuted that season .

A Good Day to Die Hard premiered in Los Angeles on January 31 , 2013 , coinciding with the unveiling of a Die Hard mural at the Fox Lot , and was released in certain East and Southeast Asian countries on February 7 and in the United States and Canada on February 13 . It is the first Die Hard film to use Dolby Atmos Surround Mixing and the first to also be released in IMAX theaters . Unlike the previous films , A Good Day to Die Hard was a critical failure , receiving overwhelmingly negative reviews which cited implausible action sequences , a cliched script , a weak plot , Moore 's direction , and a lack of characterization , although the special effects were praised . It is the first film produced by TSG Entertainment , since distributor 20th Century Fox 's departure from Dune Entertainment upon the completion of their distribution contract at the end of 2012 .   A sequel entitled Die Hard : Year One was confirmed to be in works while also intended to be an origin story of John McClane .

negative: Die Hard Die Hard is a 1988 American action film directed by John McTiernan and written by Steven E. de Souza and Jeb Stuart . It follows off-duty New York City Police Department officer John McClane ( Bruce Willis ) as he takes on a group of highly organized criminals led by Hans Gruber ( Alan Rickman ) , who perform a heist in a Los Angeles skyscraper under the guise of a terrorist attack using hostages , including McClane 's wife Holly ( Bonnie Bedelia ) , to keep the police at bay .   It is based on Roderick Thorp 's 1979 novel Nothing Lasts Forever , the sequel to 1966 's The Detective , which was adapted into a 1968 film of the same name that starred Frank Sinatra . Fox was therefore contractually obligated to offer Sinatra the lead role in Die Hard , but he turned it down . The studio then pitched the film to Arnold Schwarzenegger as a sequel to his 1985 action film Commando ; he turned it down , as well , and the studio finally and reluctantly gave it to Willis , then known primarily as a comedic television actor .   Made for $ 28 million , Die Hard grossed over $ 140 million theatrically worldwide , and was given a positive reception from critics . The film turned Willis into an action star , became a metonym for an action film in which a lone hero fights overwhelming odds , and has been named one of the best action movies ever made . The film also ranks # 29 on Empires 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time . The film 's success spawned the Die Hard franchise , which includes four sequels ( Die Hard 2 , Die Hard with a Vengeance , Live Free or Die Hard and A Good Day to Die Hard ) , video games , and a comic book .

Al Powell from the first film .   The screenplay was written by Steven E. de Souza and Doug Richardson , adapted from Walter Wager 's novel 58 Minutes . The novel has the same premise but differs slightly : A cop must stop terrorists who take an airport hostage while his daughter 's plane circles overhead . He has 58 minutes to do so before the plane crashes . Roderick Thorp , who wrote the novel Nothing Lasts Forever , upon which Die Hard was based , receives credit for creating `` certain original characters '' , although his name is misspelled onscreen as `` Roderick Thorpe '' .   As with the first film , the action in Die Hard 2 takes place on Christmas Eve . McClane is waiting for his wife to land at Washington Dulles International Airport when terrorists take over the air traffic control system . He must stop the terrorists before his wife 's plane and several other incoming flights that are circling the airport run out of fuel and crash . During the night , McClane must also contend with airport police , maintenance workers , and a military commander , all of whom do not want his assistance .   The film was preceded by Die Hard and followed by Die Hard with a Vengeance in 1995 , Live Free or Die Hard in 2007 and A Good Day to Die Hard in 2013 .

negative: Live Free or Die Hard Live Free or Die Hard ( released as Die Hard 4.0 outside North America ) is a 2007 American action film , and the fourth installment in the Die Hard film series . The film was directed by Len Wiseman and stars Bruce Willis as John McClane . The film 's name was adapted from New Hampshire 's state motto , `` Live Free or Die '' .   McClane is attempting to stop cyber terrorists who hack into government and commercial computers across the United States with the goal to start a `` fire sale '' of financial assets . The film was based on the 1997 article `` A Farewell to Arms '' written for Wired magazine by John Carlin . The film was released in the United States on June 27 , 2007 .   The project was initially stalled due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks , and when production eventually began , the film 's title was changed several times . A variety of visual effects were used for action sequences , even though Wiseman and Willis stated that they wanted to limit the amount of CGI in the film . In separate incidents during filming , both Willis and his stunt double were injured .   Unlike the prior three films in the series , the U.S. rating was PG-13 rather than R . An unrated version contained more strong profanity and violence not shown in the theatrical version , and was included in the DVD release .   Reviews were positive with an 82 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 69/100 score from Metacritic . The film earned total international box office gross receipts of $ 383.4 million , making it the highest-grossing film in the Die Hard series . It debuted at # 2 at the U.S. box office .   For the DVD release , 20th Century Fox pioneered a new kind of DRM , Digital Copy protection that tries to weaken the incentives for consumers to learn how to rip discs by offering them a downloadable version with studio-imposed restrictions . The score for the film was released on July 2 , 2007 . The fifth film in the series , titled A Good Day to Die Hard , was released on February 14 , 2013 .

Boudreaux and Binder soon learn that Binder 's father has died at the hands of wealthy sportsman Emil Fouchon ( Lance Henriksen ) who hunts homeless men as a form of recreation . The screenplay was written by Chuck Pfarrer and is based on the 1932 film adaptation of Richard Connell 's 1924 short story `` The Most Dangerous Game '' .   Hard Target was Woo 's first American film and was also the first major Hollywood film made by a Chinese director . Universal Pictures was nervous about having Woo direct a feature , and sent in director Sam Raimi to look over the film 's production and to take Woo 's place as director if he were to fail . Woo went through several scripts finding mostly martial arts films with which he was not interested . After deciding on Chuck Pfarrer 's script for Hard Target , Woo wanted to have actor Kurt Russell in the lead role , but found Russell too busy with other projects . Woo then went with Universal 's initial choice of having Jean-Claude Van Damme star . Woo got along with Van Damme during filming and raised the amount of action in the film as he knew that Van Damme was up for it .   After 65 days of filming in New Orleans , Woo had trouble with the Motion Picture Association of America to secure the R rating that Universal wanted . Woo made dozens of cuts to the film until the MPAA allowed it an R rating . On its initial release , Hard Target was a financial success but received mixed reviews from film critics .
