He has 10 goals and 22 points in 33 games this season. He's been heating up lately, with three tallies and one helper for four points in four games.
His coach certainly is. Boedker scored his first two goals on home ice during Phoenix's 6-3 win on Thursday and Coyotes coach Dave Tippett thinks there be many more to come from the rigt winger. Boedker already has three goals and six points this month after a quiet November in which he had only six points. The jump in production could be attributed to more shots, a directive issued to Boedker by the coaching staff. "If he can get time and space to shoot it, he's a dangerous player," Tippett said. A switch in position also has helped. "He's our leading scorer five-on-five," Tippett said. "He's around a lot of the play. He's quietly chipping in some points. I think the move from left wing to right wing has been good for him. It just seems like he's more comfortable over there and has the ability to do more things with the puck."
Source: Arizona Republic/Phoenix GazetteBoedker has nine goals and 21 points in 31 contests in 2013-14. That puts him just seven points shy of his career-high, set in 2008-09.

The Lawyer has decided he'll never become a millionaire by waiting for the goddess Equity to bless him with another 3000 chargeable hours and an assistant capable of working the photocopier, and so has started writing his novel.
Every lawyer, of course, believes he has a novel in him, along with a terrific article for the Law Quarterly Review, which professors will brandish at students in lecture halls, shouting: "Garbidge on the Moral Imperative of Tort and its Applications in SMEs in the Context of a Federal Europe: read it or die!"
Most of the Lawyer's joined-up writing is done by his secretary but this hasn't deterred him, and he's up in the study most nights, clicking away. He's got his record Minesweeper time down to 82 seconds, and will get writing again any moment now, he assures me. Research for the novel has encompassed taking home an armful of John Grisham films from Blockbuster and watching them with Subjudice taking notes, followed by a brisk discussion on whether Julia Roberts will be past it or not by the time the Lawyer's book makes it to Hollywood.
Because all lawyers' novels follow the same lone-legal-hero-against-the-forces-of-evil plot I have no doubt that my husband will come up with a winning formula. The main problem will be choosing his enemy (big business, sinister government, corrupt leadership team, wicked golf club that denies hero membership), and said hero's name. Will he go for the manly neutral (Kirk Deighton, Tow Law), the dangerously classbound (Newton le Willows), or the simply ridiculous (Guy Sandolls, Wiz Ardofuz, Bart Elship-O'Temkin).
The children, of course, want to be in it, and Subbie has already won a place as the plucky kid who hides the stolen file in her school folder and kicks the baddies in the knees (she can't reach any higher, I pointed out when he showed me the first draft, which had the baddies doubling over in agony). Deminimus is the angelic youngster who brings the hero and heroine together in the penultimate chapter over his tiny hospital bed ("Don't worry, son, that extra head might be the result of living next to a nuclear power station, but when I'm through with those bosses it's going to send your parents to a Florida pool-side condo for the rest of their lives"). The plot seems to leave little room for poor Liability, who may have to settle for a starring role as the hero's hotdog in Chapter Three (no onions, heavy on the mustard).
As is usual with the lawyerly genre, our too-busy hero is in the process of being divorced by his super-svelte wife, a doctor who spends her days flying off into war zones to carry out complex battlefield brain surgery frequently featured on national news. She has fallen for her helicopter pilot, a six-foot blond called Sven, and as she has no kids the only problem with the separation is who ends up with the New York penthouse.
I wondered if the Lawyer would consider writing in a role for a slightly rotund, fun-loving mother-of-three who has an imaginative way with shepherds pie and a sideline in proof-reading for a publisher of romantic novels, the sort of work that best fits in with a lifetime of ironing for five. Apparently it would never sell in Hollywood, even if you could get Bette Midler to play me. "For goodness sake, this is drama, you can't have comedy interludes," said the Lawyer, testily. "It's not Shakespeare." You can certainly say that again.

Freelancers Everywhere Welcome to Pitch San Antonio
San Antonio may have a bunch of local pubs, but San Antonio Magazine bills itself as being the 'premier magazine' of the city. "Our [magazine] definitely stands out as being the most comprehensive," said editor-in-chief Rebecca Fontenot. After being bought out by Open Sky Media in the summer of 2011, the book underwent a major overhaul that changed the logo and freshened up the content, 60 to 75 percent of which is freelance-written. The best part is, you don't have to live in the area to pitch.
"It's not necessary that freelancers be in San Antonio, but," said Fontenot, "a familiarity with the city is important."
For example, an out-of-state home and garden writer can localize an article on new home construction by interviewing a San Antonio-based builder who is following national trends in his design.

Canadian Court Rules "Hyperlink" Is Not Defamation 120
from the don't-tread-on-my-links dept.
Is it because, the US Bar Association is protecting its members by making the legal "language" aka Legalese hard to understand or is because most US judges are fucking retarded and can't put a coherent sentence together?
Perhaps, just perhaps, that's not an "or" question? I'm going to go waaaaay out on a limb and say that the answer to your question(s) is just "Yes." Yes the bar association is trying to cover the ass of their members, and yes a fair number of US judges seem to make mind-bogglingly weird decisions.
Let me suggest that you read all the way to the end of the decision -- context is everything. The judge essentially said that the context in which you put the link is the critical factor:
I would think that the context shouldn't matter at all unless the linked-to material had been previously proven defamatory in a court of law.
But IANAL, so what do I know.
You know that feeling when you're leaning back on a stool and it starts to tip over? Well, that's how I feel all the time. -- Steven Wright

Seems odd but many people (especially in the country) point to things with their lips and not their fingers. I didn't notice this so much in the city or the coast.

I am experiencing some problems during data store creation - "838: cannot get data store shared-memory segment, error 5"
(also there problems with TT net service starting but it could be solved by changing registry keys permissions)
thank you
11.2.2. has not been certified on Win 2012. See here
for supported platforms.
What client are you using to initiate the data store creation e.g ttIsql making a first connection, ttAdmin -ramLoad etc? I have seen one report of a customer using ODP.NET client and also getting this error 5 on Win 2012 but an answer has not been found. This is hampered by the simple fact that TT hasn't been tested or certified on Win 2012.
Thank you for your prompt reply, problem solved by reinstalling TT with unsecured access to shared memory option during installation.
By the way is it possible to change this option after TT installed?
Thanks for confirming the problem is solved.
By "unsecured access" I assume you mean unrestricted access, i.e., access not restricted to a specific OS group? This cannot be changed after installation.

For many years, there has been one overwhelming rule for people who wanted to be considered serious inside the Beltway. It was this: You must declare your willingness to cut Social Security in the name of "entitlement reform." It wasn't really about the numbers, which never supported the notion that Social Security faced an acute crisis. It was instead a sort of declaration of identity, a way to show that you were an establishment guy, willing to impose pain (on other people, as usual) in the name of fiscal responsibility.

For the average American, that's an insane amount to spend on a luxury good.
Yes, because a lot of them think that a lot of the expenses that they are already paying are necessary, when they are not. In reality, its not that much.
Just for some numbers, my gf and I both work pretty intensive jobs in our careers (engineering and IT), and we rarely cook because we are both tired, so we go out to eat a lot. When you consider $5 coffee, $10 lunch, and $20 dinner per person, thats $1000 a month per person on food. If we really wanted to save, we could cut that in half easily by making our own food. Thats $500 right there.
We could move to a lower quality neighborhood, and get roommates, and probably save about $300-400 per person on rent. Even better if we moved closer to the city so one of us can take public transportation to work and not need a car, which is $300 a month or more in financing and insurance and gas.
And a lot of people who want to travel do just that. They live with 2 or more roommates to reduce the rent cost, they live close to where they work, they make their own food, and don't spend money on things like TV's, iPads, e.t.c. A phone and a computer is enough for them. And thus, they can easily save up $10 grand or more every year for the vacation, and they can do that on a 40k a year salary, which is pretty average.
Of course, if the couple had kids, decides to buy a house that they don't really need, has car payments+insurance for 2 cars, buys electronics, $15k would be a lot for them to spend on vacation.

Ferris State coach Bob Daniels helps provide a scouting report. In October, the Bulldogs beat Michigan, 3-2, in a shoot-out in Big Rapids and lost, 3-2, in Ann Arbor. Last week, Ferris beat Michigan State, 3-2, at home and lost, 1-0, in overtime in East Lansing.
The Wolverines are averaging 3.2 goals per game and 33.3 shots per game. The Spartans are averaging 2.5 goals and 27.3 shots.
"Both teams have some dynamic forwards," Daniels said. "Michigan with (Carl) Hagelin, (Louie) Caporusso and (Matt) Rust, and Michigan State with (Brett) Perlini, (Daultan) Leveille and (Dustin) Gazely. But I think the overall depth of dynamic forwards, you'd lean toward Michigan. The overall difference is the depth of forwards Michigan can put out there.
"Both are very aggressive, but Michigan with the puck and the speed they generate makes it a game where you've got to make sure defensively you've got your numbers back."
Michigan also gets offensive production out of defensemen Scooter Vaughan (tied for the team lead in goals with seven) and Jon Merrill; Torey Krug shines on the back end for the Spartans.
"It's a game I see being very open," Daniels said. "Two teams getting after each other. You're not going to have one team laying back, and that's going to lead to great hockey."
The Wolverines have allowed 2.5 goals per game and 28.6 shots per game. The Spartans have allowed 2.7 goals and 28.9.
"You don't get a whole lot of chances with either team," Daniels said. "They're both very good about limiting your ability to get rebound opportunities. Michigan State, they are extremely aggressive on their forecheck."
As for goaltending, Daniels said MSU has "a more clear picture of what they're going to get each night because they've got one goaltender going in (Drew) Palmisano."
Special teams
MSU is slightly better statistically on the power play and penalty kill. The Spartans have scored on 14 of 80 power-play chances (17.5%) and are at 82.9% on the penalty kill. Michigan is 15.4% on the power play, 82.8% on the penalty kill.
"Michigan is much more aggressive on the penalty kill, where Michigan State's a little more cerebral at the way they go about killing penalties," Daniels said.
"On the power play, give Michigan State the nod based on the numbers. Michigan, just by their personnel, by the end of the year they're going to have one of the better power plays in the league."
Neither team takes a lot of penalties, but this is a rivalry game and emotions could boil over. The team going against the wind could have some trouble. The goalies also could have a tough time tracking the puck in the outdoor conditions.
Daniels: A shoot-out.
Free Press sports writer George Sipple: Michigan wins, 4-2, with an empty-netter in the final minute.

STX Europe signed three lifecycle services contracts for modernizing a cruise vessel for Carnival Cruise Lines and two tankers for Neste Shipping.
MS Sensation of CCL will get 98 additional passenger cabin balconies as well as new black and grey water piping during the retrofit. MT Palva and Stena Poseidon of Neste will get crew accommodation refurbishing.
The work onboard the oil tankers will be done while the vessels are in operation. The cruise vessel retrofit will be performed at Grand Bahama Shipyard during January and February 2009.
In addition to ship building STX Europe provides lifecycle services. The intention is to respond to the needs of our newbuild customers through the whole life cycle of the vessels we have built and also offer upgrading and maintenance service to other customers.
Before the new contracts the orderbook of STX Europe's yards includes four modernisations: the yard in Rauma is converting a ferry to an expedition cruise vessel for Canadian G.A.P Adventures and an offshore barge for Norwegian Aker Stord. The Helsinki yard is converting two ro-ro-vessels for Finnlines.
There are all sorts of new rules and regulations coming out, to which the industry and ships will have to adapt. The market for retrofits and refurbishments according to the new rules as well as ship modernizations and lengthenings are expected to grow significantly over the next few years. In order to respond to the demand STX Europe has a special Lifecycle Services division which already for some years has been offering ship upgrades, modifications and conversions.
Diamond S Shipping Group Inc's largest shareholder, Wilbur Ross, said the tanker company's initial public offering had been canceled because the suggested price was too low,

Did you or your partner plan an elaborate romantic gesture? How long did it take to set up? Was there help along the way?
And, most importantly, what was the reaction when the big moment arrived?

Scandal raises questions about Satyam's ability to retain U.S. customers
Accounting fraud revelation leaves offshore outsourcing vendor in 'very dire situation'
Computerworld - The revelation this week that the management of offshore outsourcing vendor Satyam Computer Services Ltd. had falsified accounting and overstated earnings brought to light a scandal with potentially deep implications for many U.S. companies.
Much of Satyam's growth into the fourth-largest provider of IT services in India is due to business from companies in the U.S., helped along by its heavy use of the federal government's H-1B visa program. Satyam, which claims that its customer base includes 185 members of the Fortune 500, may get more than half of its $2 billion in annual revenue from the U.S., according to analysts.
In a resignation letter sent to Satyam's board on Wednesday, B. Ramalinga Raju, the company's founder and chairman, admitted to inflating its cash balances and the credit amounts it was owed while understating its liabilities. His brother, B. Rama Raju, also resigned as Satyam's managing director.
As a result of Raju's disclosure, Satyam already faces two class-action lawsuits in the U.S. and an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, that country's securities regulator.
What it needs most of all now is to keep customers such as Nissan North America Inc. from defecting to other vendors. Nashville-based Nissan signed a five-year application services deal with Satyam in 2006, as part of a move to diversify its IT services providers via a multisourcing strategy. The automaker previously had relied on IBM for nearly all its IT functions.
Nissan spokeswoman Katherine Zachary said Thursday that the company is keeping an eye on the situation at Satyam. "We're taking appropriate steps to ensure the continuity of our systems and applications that are Satyam-supported, and we're going to continue to monitor the situation," Zachary said.
Caterpillar Inc. is another major Satyam customer. Last April, the Peoria, Ill.-based construction equipment maker sold its market research and customer analytics operations to Satyam for about $60 million, a deal that deepened the business process outsourcing ties between the two companies and gave Satyam the means to provide higher-level analytic services to other customers. "This acquisition further demonstrates the trust both organizations have in each other," Raju said in a statement at the time.
A Caterpillar spokesman declined to comment on Thursday about the current situation at Satyam.
When General Motors Corp. announced $7 billion worth of IT outsourcing contracts in early 2006, it was widely reported in India-based news outlets that Satyam had received about $150 million in work as a subcontractor — for example, from Capgemini, which had won a contract to handle application development and maintenance for three of GM's business units.

We had a Keurig, but it didn't make latte, didn't have Milk Pods, didn't have espresso pods, didn't make Americana, didn't have a button for just Hot Water (we make our latte and Americana with two pushes of the espresso button).
Our new Verismo has made me look forward to getting up in the morning, to make a Starbucks Latte or an Americana...THE BEST-TASTING DRINKS I HAVE EVER HAD!
And, we bought a Starbucks Milk Frother, which we Also Love!...we add diet sweetener or diet Vanilla Syrup (or diet Caramel Syrup) to fat-free milk to make The Best-Tasting SWEET Milk Froth I Have Ever Had!
The Only criticism I have of the Verismo 580 is that Starbucks needs to make this machine, in the future, with a Water Tank that holds twice as much...adding to the depth of the machine.
I And My Family unconditionally recommend this new Verismo 580 to everyone...we sincerely believe you, too, will Love It!
My 94-yr-old Mom, who lives with us, just gave me instructions that I have to get up each morning to make her either a Starbucks Latte or an Americana...she also says that These Starbucks Drinks are The Best-Tasting Drinks She Has Ever Had...she didn't want coffee from our Keurig...she preferred Instant Coffee instead! -
Are you seeing this where you live? WSJ says stunned home buyers are finding that bidding wars are back.

(1) That's what I want
That's what I need
That's what I want
She sprays her lies around her like the clouds release the rain
And endless stream of promises that vaporize again
Remember last Tuesday when you said it was the end
You caught her in your Nissan getting funky with your best friend
She will never change till her flesh is under dirt
But then at least she's hangin' with neighbors she deserves
Forgive me if I seem to sound a little on the loose
But I cannot pour sugar just to sweeten up the truth
I would like to wish her to a long forgotten dream
Happened early morning when I was just two or three
Everyone around who didn't quite fit in the mix
Turned and waved goodbye and disappeared without a hitch
Except my friend Billy who live just across the way
The world belonged to us forever on from that day
Until we ran into that sneaky girl from down the street
Who tried to smile so pretty stealing Billy right from me
The world spun around her everywhere that she would go
But even my friend Billy knew that she was just a - oh no
She had such a way to twist and turn a simple truth
Told my friend Billy I had been a little loose
Then Billy took her by the arm and left me standing all along
I just had to wait there watching them do-se-do
Till Billy pushed her in the deepest darkest hole around
It was goodbye sneaky girl - ho down
I would like to wish her for her a place to somewhere far
A place in outer space to some exotic little star
A million miles away would probably suit the planet fine
Someplace where it's clear she is gone and you are mine
Or maybe some romantic little island in the sea
As far away as it is possible to be
She can have the flowers and the wind
And I can have my baby back with me once again
I would like to wish for her another little story
My daddy said to me when I was just a little girly
He told me 'bout a pretty graceful lovely lady bird
Who never could find a nest good enough for her
From every tree she landed in she saw one that was better
So off she went before she ever could regain her breath
Wasn't it a pity when she finally hit the ground
It was goodbye lovely birdy - ho down
Goodbye lovely birdy - ho down

I have a Romanian pos scope that I can,t zero. The reticial is as low as it could go. I tried looking on the web with no luck.
I have a Romanian pos scope that I can,t zero. The reticial is as low as it could go. I tried looking on the web with no luck.
you are a head of me, mine did not zero but I did not try to adjust it. so i used open sights at 100yd nothing wrong with the rifle
in your case is this a homebuilder or cugir built rifle or someone else
how does the rifle shoot with open sights
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Sprat it is a home build ,the rifle is good off open sights . I had to mill the scope rail to get the scope to fit . Do I need to work on the rail more or is the problem with scope itself. What started this that my wife got me a bore-sight from Cabela's. I can see the red dot through the scope but it is bottomed out .
didnt you just ask this question on WG? you'll get the same answer here from the same guys. LOL
but in case your not the same guy:
you'll need to shim the scope or build the rail back up at the right point to give you the amount of adjustment you need. very very common when one has to adjust the scope rail to then not be able to get it to zero properly.
dutigaf,thanks for the help.I didn,t ask before on the WG but will try. I'm glade I asked before the drimel tool got used . Thanks again .
I had the same problem with an aftermarket rail and scope on an AK. I eventually took the side mount off, put the rifle in a vise, leveled the bbl with a spirit level and reinstalled the side mount level with the bbl. Had to weld up a coupla side mount holes and redrill. Luckily I had not put a finish on the receiver. When I built my psl's I did this from the start. Don't know if this is the same problem as u have but it might be worth looking at. Good luck with it, these are some decent shooters when you get the bugs worked out.(Till the bbl heats up!)
Clan MacPherson
as soon as I read homebuilt I figured the mount dips a bit in the front, seems both suggests are the best course
glad dutigaf was able to help you, while at the same time shelfishly promoting the other website
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
now now my friend... i plug THIS site on WG all the time & have it prominently displayed in the links to fellow "build friendly" websites.... Bob(Gunco) knows that & the staff here & at WG are friendly as we all know what goes into running a site... ... ive known most of these guys for a long time.
was honestly trying to help the member as this question is coming up A LOT right now. so it seems that the last couple of runs of receivers that got put out all have the same problem.
earlier batches had a different problem : that the scopes wouldnt even fit on the rails...
stay happy my friend! its a new year.
LOL I thought the same thing as there is buy over there who has his rail on crooked or some other issue.didnt you just ask this question on WG? you'll get the same answer here from the same guys. LOL
but in case your not the same guy:
you'll need to shim the scope or build the rail back up at the right point to give you the amount of adjustment you need. very very common when one has to adjust the scope rail to then not be able to get it to zero properly.
the simple fact is if the rail is not true to the bore its going to need to be fixed some how . most likey it needs to come off or shimmed or some thing.
guys who build these with side rails need to make there the rail is true to the bore take 3' straight edge an see if runs parrale to the barrel by eye if it dosnet yur scpe is going to pint some were beside were the barrel is .
IMO mosto f these are screwed up due to ther center support rived bending the recvier in or out an then there the elevation that needs to be corrrect .
before you river otr weld one one but a 1" piece of pile in your rings an look down it an see if its pointing were tje barrel is .
I put a new side mount on my 308 Saiga today onthe stock rail IMO the whole set up is a joke I can move the entire top of the mount side ways aboiut a 1/4" with mediom thumb pressure . how the russians an who ever else expect the scope to stay zeroed is beyind me, the entior erecvie flecs with side pressure .
the stupid side rail mount is unsuported for like three inches ? An then its mounted to .045 thick sheet metal . they might as well just mounthte scope on a crow bar .
IMO the set up is barely good for holdong a flash light .
This isn't the best fix, but may be the easiest. you can slot the 4 bracket bolt holes on the scope. When you get it where you want it, lock it down with the screws and then from the receiver side of the bracket drill and tap for a set screw. The scope will only be good for that rifle and you will still have the same problem if you put another scope on. Shims can be added between the bracket halves for left/right.
Like I said..not the best fix, but if your options are limited. This one works.

[IMG:L]Yes, they've been the critics' darlings, but emotions and tensions are being stirred all the way up to the ceremony. Here are the top five hot-button topics we've been hearing more about. Where do you stand?
The Reader
Scandal: So, is this a Nazi-sympathizing film or what?!
The Issue: Audiences are nearly brought to their knees, by a stoic, tender performance delivered by Kate Winslet for her character, Hanna -- a woman who, in her early 20s, partook in unspeakable (off-screen) Nazi crimes, leading countless Jews to the gas chambers. Yet, Hanna's illicit romance, illiteracy and quirks are supposed to drum-up empathy from viewers who "should see" that some SS officers signed-up for work, basically just cause it was a job.
What the Press Is Saying: The film "gives ammunition to Holocaust negationists, to the Archbishop Williamsons of the world, to the people who would tell us that Shoah is a mass exaggeration." He furthered, "the SS representative in the film ends up pathetic and sad and, by the way, not guilty of the crime for which she was sentenced," while "the lone representative of the survivors is haughty and glamorous -- a near perfect (and negative) stereotype of the wealthy European Jew in New York." -- Critic-turned-filmmaker, Rod Lurie (Nothing But the Truth) in a Huffington Post column.
Leave it alone?: Lena Olin's wealthy, somber Holocaust-survivor, who refuses an offering made to her by Hanna (we won't give away the ending) is not quite the neat wrap-up the filmmakers may have intended -- as it actually starts to ignite more tension over Hanna's unspeakable actions. But at least the speech is there, reaching out to address the SS elephant that's been quietly in the room for the entire film.
Wrongness-meter: 3 out of 5 stars
KEEP READING: Slumdog director's credit?
Slumdog Millionaire
Scandal: M.I.A. proper credit due -- Slumdog's female, Indian co-director gets no love.
The Issue: You probably haven't heard her name, but Loveleen Tandan, who co-directed Slumdog with Danny Boyle, has been all but shut out of industry acknowledgement for her key role on the film -- sparking protest, particularly from women in the industry. In addition to casting, Tandan shot many scenes in the box office hit and made key script changes, including rewriting the children's dialogue in Hindi, creating a vitally authentic feel. A group called Women in the Audience Supporting Women Artists Now even launched an online campaign urging Boyle to share his name with Tandan on the Academy Awards ballot.
What the Press is Saying:
"Chicago film critic Jan Lisa Huttner, asked: 'If she's co-director during the film-making and marketing process, why isn't she co-nominee when the awards are passed out?" ... Of the film's 10 Oscar nominations, only the music and sound categories feature Indian contributors." -- Anita Singh, Showbusiness Editor, Telegraph.co.uk
Leave it alone?: According to the Telegraph.co.uk, the modest Tandan insists she does not want a proper director credit. "When Huttner lobbied the Golden Globes voters at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on the issue, Tandan sent the HFPA a letter which read: 'The suggestion is highly inappropriate, and I am writing to you to stress that I would not wish it to be considered.' At the Slumdog Millionaire premiere in Mumbai, she reiterated the point. 'My credit is not 'directed by'. It is co-director: India,' she said. 'I am greatly honoured by the credit I have been accorded. It would be a grave injustice if the credit I have should have the effect of diminishing Danny Boyle's magnificent achievement.'" OK, Loveleen because we're loving your film (and your name), we'll leave it alone (and the issues that have surfaced over child labor payment) -- for now...
Wrongness-meter: 4 out of 5 stars
KEEP READING: Tropic Thunder's black face?
Tropic Thunder KEEP READING: Doubt's sexual abuse issue?
Scandal: When did it become OK to celebrate ("ironic") blackface by way of an Oscar nom?! ... And then there's the "R" word.
The Issue: Ironically, boldly, offensively Robert Downey Jr. dons blackface in his eye-popping role as Kirk Lazarus, a thesp gunning to get an Oscar nod by taking it to another level. Yeah, we're supposed to laugh, take it lightly -- and revel in its "ironic" brilliance -- just cause Kirk gets a black cast mate to tell him about his "wrongness" alongside other winks to the audience. But c'mon, are we really there yet? And are Tropic's writer/director Ben Stiller and his star Downey Jr. the anointed ones to be given "a pass" to present this storyline? Ironically, it took whipping out this tacky, racially insensitive plot device to get another nom for Downey Jr. -- extending the parody even further -- in a role that could've been met by protest. RDJ can thank his dad (edgy filmmaker, Robert Downey Sr., Putney Swope) and his own fierce acting cred, for saving him from being skewered by jaded, bitter (black) audiences who've watched the phenom unfold, rather silently -- though don't bring it up at a party.
What the Press Is Saying: "Though we enjoyed Tropic Thunder, we're still dumbfounded with the ironic reality of Downey's supporting actor nod (he played an actor obsessed with academy recognition). Regardless, Oscar speculators know that comedy equals death in this game, and frankly we're OK with that. Downey's been much better in roles that didn't require face paint." -- Merie Weismiller Wallace, Associated Press
"What does it say about racial politics in America that two days after the first African American president is inaugurated, Robert Downey Jr. is nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for essentially playing a part in blackface?" -- Rachel Abramowitz / LA Times: The Envelope
"The passionate outrage of groups like the Special Olympics ... which rallied outside the premiere of the film and demanded a boycott, has successfully diverted any negative attention from Robert Downey Jr.'s outrageous turn ... Downey's performance is undeniably funny, but might white critics also be tempted to overpraise him simply for having gotten away with something so forbidden? New York magazine went so far as to say that Downey "really does make a damn fine Negro," a comment that dips its paternalistic toe further into the tar of racism than anything in Downey's performance." -- James Hannaham, Salon.com
Leave it alone?: It's only "comedy," and to make a point, filmmakers and audiences claim. Well, the absence of any black male actor Oscar noms, for a bevy of fine performances this year, makes us think we can't even touch how messy this one is. Calm yourself with the fact that our beloved Heath may win for "whiteface"? Um, we're just being "ironic", of course!
Wrongness-meter: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Scandal: Seemingly sensible (black) mother mechanically turns the other cheek upon learning her son may be being sexually abused by a priest?
The Issue: No matter how you slice it, Viola Davis' stunning performance as the beat-down, mind-blowingly non-redemptive mother; a role that is supposed to draw sympathy and pose a logical response for her dilemma, is rooted to the fear of her abusive husband and her (looks-like-he-may-be-gay) young son. But what mother would stay entrenched in such denial, as to put her son in what could be harm's way -- without being reflective? Even as Meryl's Sister Aloysius screams at her to wake up to the possibility of molestation, what other onscreen mother would be that blind? Perhaps the other black mother role awarded at the Oscars in recent times: Halle Berry's in Monster's Ball. Hmm...
What the Press is Saying: "You see, the young man's gay and therefore a social outcast beaten by his homophobic father, and so awful is all of this that maybe the best option left for him is at the hands of a sympathetic, forty-something, molesting predator. To her credit Sister Aloysius is horrified, but Sister Aloysius is portrayed in the film as her own kind of monster. So our sympathies are quite obviously supposed to be with a working class black mother stuck in an abusive household desperate to do anything to help her boy ... The film's defenders will call this turn of plot, complicated, nuanced, realism … anything but what it is, monstrous." -- John Nolte, Big Hollywood
Leave it alone?: Viola's Mrs. Miller is having a hard time: her husband may "kill" her effeminate son whose already had to leave one school, or the nice priest with certain tendencies may be molesting her possibly gay son. Maybe her inability to see that both sides are potentially equal in danger has to do with her shock?
Wrongness-meter: 3.5 out of 5 stars
KEEP READING: Animated films chance at Best Pic?
Scandal: When it comes to earning Best Picture nods, will animated films ever escape being categorized as a niche?
The Issue: On a lighter, yet still important note, several Oscar snubs, such as Sally Hawkins for Happy-Go-Lucky, have left folk shaking their heads. Namely one in particular, which points to the fact that, although technology has progressed, there's a certain reluctance to embrace animation in the Best Picture category -- as well as actors who give voice to animated characters; think the utterly overlooked Andy Serkis as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings.
What the Press is Saying: "There's a good case to be made that it was a mistake to nominate Wall*E only for Best Animated Feature and not Best Picture. It got a better critical reception than any of the movies nominated for the most prestigious award. As of today, Rottentomatoes.com says that Wall*E has a 96 percent positive rating based on an aggregation of movie critic reviews. That's higher than the Tomatometer registers for any of the five Best Picture nominees."
-- Matt Bandyk, U.S. News & World Report
Leave it alone?: We have a feeling this gem will get a highly coveted award, one way or another. So all's good.

Read It Before They Screen It: The Catcher in the Rye, Gravity's Rainbow, and The Satanic Verses
Posted by Tavis, April 1, 2009 12:20 pm 8 Comments Filed under: Book to Film.J. D. Salinger will finally let Hollywood get their grubby little hands on his classic work. Zac Efron is in talks to portray Holden Caufield in the feature film adaptation of The Catcher in the Rye.
Salinger has given Efron his blessing after watching a marathon screening of all the High School Musical films — and has even decided to write a karaoke scene where Holden serenades the female prostitute.
Finally — maybe this is what it will take to get the book read by actual teenagers. Let's just hope that Efron can make Caulfield seem believable and not so phony.

Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer are re-teaming to bring Thomas Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow to the big screen.
Variety reports:
"After Pearl Harbor, I can only think of one other WWII story that demands to be translated to the screen," Bay told Daily Variety, "and that's the story of Tyrone Slothrop's sexual encounters with the V-2 rocket."
