RIP Ronald Neame
am aflat tirziu, pe 11 iulie, cautind ceva pentru topul de remakeuri proaste re: Poseidon. Nu cred ca am ratat eu stirile, cred ca pur si simplu nu s-a dat nicuna.
Ok. Sa zicem ca Ronald Neame avea 99 de ani dar uite ca nu numai eu ma pling:
46
"I scanned the Huffington Post Entertainment section today, and I'm reading about what a box office winner "Toy Story-3" is shaping up to be. Wow, this is a surprise.
As I scroll down the page, I see names like Miley Cyrus, Lindsey Lohan, and Megan Fox. I note that Angelina Jolie visited Haiti and that Jake Gyllenhaal was caught by a camera examining a woman's derriere. (I forgive him.)
Meanwhile, there is not a line that I could find about the passing of a true giant of British film: Ronald Neame." John Farr
Neame e un nume legendar in filmul britanic. Cinema din familie, tatatl sau fotograf si mama actrita 9a jucat in La Roue a lui Abel Gance!). A inceput ca asistent de camera la Hitchcock in Blackmail in 1929 (primul film englez sonor !)
si a fost operator la Emmerich si Pressburger (One Of Our Aircraft Is Missing) si Noel Coward (In Which We Serve), apoi producator pentru David Lean si co-scenarist la Brief Encounter si Great Expectations; finalmente a trecut la regie in 1947 cu Take My Life. Nu a fost regizorul original la Aventura lui Poseidon (1972), film pentru care in mod ironic e cunoscut, dar a luat 5% din incasari ceea ce l-a facut sa nu mai aiba probleme financiare tot restul vietii. Filmul meu preferat al sau este Hopscotch cu Walter Matthau (1980), si am revazut recent la tv (TCM ?) sau pe dvd The Odessa File, cu Jon Voight si Maximilian Schell, un thriller cu nazisti din 1974 dupa romanul lui Frederick Forsyth. Si am scris depre Gambit (1966), un film atit de bun incit nu am scris nici un cuvint despre regizor !!! CBE in 1996 ! Autobiografie in 2003, "Straight from the Horse's Mouth".

Mad Mel Redux
now that Polanski's out, who can you count to crucify ?
Mad Mel did it again...
Oups. Nu urmaresc toate stirile tabloide dar am ramas masca la rap-ul lui Mel catre iubita lui (fosta) Oksana, cu care are un bebe (quote-lovechild)
primul rant de pe youtube aici
leaked pe 9 iulie !
acum a aparut o a doua caseta tot pe radaronline dar nu pot s-o ascult in Ro.
acum pe youtube !
(can't be embed, sa vedem daca rezista nestearsa)
4 ani de la jewhater/sugartits DUI, cu moderatele "asshole" zise pe post recent si un not to hot comeback in dark thrillerul EDGE OF DARKNESS, Mel parea confortably numb cu new Passion Oksana si o fetita nou nascuta. dar a luat-o total razna si ea l-a inregistrat la telefon amenintind-o. Deja reprezentanta sa de agenti l-a lasat balta dupa prima caseta.
"You need a f*cking bat in the side of the head. Alright, how about that?”
& even more than that. the whole story here.
Edge of Darkness indeed. Nu stiu daca publicul va mai fi braveheart cu Mel again.
Apocalyptomel! hopefully incepe prologul din Mad Max II soon !
si asta tocmai cind a fost anuntat Mad max IV cu Tom Hardy ! Cred ca DiCaprio se retrage asap din proiectul cu Vikingii !
Mel in Hamlet de Zefirelli, un solilocviu care se incheie cu "Frailty thy name is woman"!!!

Polanski freed !!!
uha ! s-a terminat ! Polanski e liber si se intoarce in Franta ! Pina la urma elvetienii au cedat ! Ma bucur pentru el ! Eram la Brasov cind a inceput, sunt la Brasov acum ! Elvetiia noastra ! Imi pare rau ca nu am cu cine sa sarbatoresc dar o sa beau ce a mai ramas din tzuica 1971de la nunta Doctorului (mai mult spre calvados) !
Roman Polanski is a free man - officials in Switzerland have thrown out a request to extradite him to the U.S. for sentencing on a child-sex charge.
The Rosemary's Baby director has been under house arrest at a luxury chalet in Gstaad since he was seized in Zurich last September en route to a film festival.
U.S. authorities demanded the film-maker be returned to the States to face sentencing for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. He pleaded guilty to the offence but fled to Europe in 1978 before facing a court.
But Swiss officials announced on Monday that the extradition has now been turned down - because they cannot rule out the possibility that there is a "fault" in the request.
In a statement, a spokesman for the Swiss Justice Ministry says, "The reason for the decision lies in the fact that it was not possible to exclude with the necessary certainty a fault in the U.S. extraditionary (sic) request."
Polanski is expected to return to his family home in France.

The Swiss government declared renowned film director Roman Polanski a free man on Monday after rejecting a Us request to extradite him on a charge of having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl," report Bradley S Klapper and Frank Jordans of the AP. "The Swiss mostly blamed Us authorities for failing to provide confidential testimony about Polanski's sentencing procedure in 1977-1978. The Justice Ministry also said that national interests were taken into consideration in the stunning decision."
