Connor’s 2013 Calendar

By Cator Sparks January 1, 2013

Along with New Year’s resolutions, gym memberships and holiday store returns there is always one more thing to do – buy a new calendar. To us it is like a clean slate ready to be filled with great escapes, movie nights and ever exciting doctor appointments. So why not take it up a notch passing on the ‘Animal Babies of 2013’ and go for something a bit more impressive for your work space?

Connor’s Tiger Calendar fits the bill. Each month is printed on it’s own card and the 12 cards come with a sturdy little brass easel to prop on your desk to impress friends, family and colleagues alike. Co-Founder of Connor, Justin Felber told us, “Our Four Season’s Tiger Calendar is a real labor of love, taking almost six months from the initial sketch design to final printing. It is a painstaking process – a multi-colored stamping, hand-engraved in Paris by our master engraver. A real work of art in every sense.”

Connor is one of the top stationery brands around, working with a vast library of unique vintage dies, crests and monograms, some dating back to the late 1800s. Everything is engraved by hand in France, by a method used for over two centuries to create impressions with serious detail. Check them out for one-of-a-kind invitations, thank you notes, menus and place cards too. But for now, just add a little growl to your desktop to kick off the New Year with a roar.

Hugh Jackman on playing Wolverine again: ‘It literally doesn’t matter how I answer this’

Hugh Jackman isn't sure whether he'll be back as Wolverine

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine's arrival in theaters is imminent, and with it, the return of Hugh Jackman's Logan. Jackman has been playing some version of Wolverine since all the way back in 2000. In 2017, it seemed like he had hung up his claws for good with the critically acclaimed Logan, which sees the character meet what seems to be a permanent end.

Seven years later, though, he was drawn right back into the fray. In a recent interview with Collider, Jackman was asked whether he would be playing Wolverine again, and he seemed to understand that fans could no longer take him at his word.

Steven Spielberg is to blame for the lack of kissing in ‘Twisters’

Steven Spielberg wanted to keep things professional for the Twisters leads

The cast of Twisters.

Fans of disaster movies are relishing in the news that Twisters made more than $80 million in its opening weekend. The decades-later sequel to Twister had an opening weekend that wildly exceeded expectations, and left many wondering whether we may eventually get another sequel.

For all of the movie's critical and commercial success, though, some notice that this disaster romance was lacking something that the first Twister was sure to include. Namely, the movie ends without Glen Powell's Tyler and Daisy Edgar Jones's Kate sealing their new relationship with a kiss. Some people naturally wondered why there was no kiss in the film, and it turns out that legendary director Steve Spielberg is the one to blame.
