Merry Christmas from the Gman Crew (i.e. me) :)
Merry Christmas from the Gman Crew (i.e. me) :)
So if you've been around these parts it's been a bit sparse. Last week TIFF ended, and you can read all of my writings on that over at Screen Invasion and hear my podcasts here on TUMP, and somehow in all the confusion of moving from Trinidad back to Jamaica and everything else I just kind of got all jumbled and happened to be
unable avoiding actually opening up the old blog to do some good old fashioned writing.
This is me saying sorry. More than that here to claim my space again. I should be kicking off a whole new column elsewhere on the internets and we'll see how things go and what the world sends down to me in the future.
However, there are a few things that will change around these parts and it will be the focus on current cinema. While I have no qualms about discussing aged film, the entire purpose of my Marathons and Blindspot writings, I still kept a good level of new in theatres film discussion going on the site. Sadly, with my current employment status changing (with hopes of that not being too long standing) I don't really see the sense in donating a weekly (or sometimes more) visit to my local cinema. I've yet to decide on how to manage this all but I will be covering a lot of missed Blu Ray releases and independent VOD films as best as I can and maybe trying a few new ideas out on the site for your enjoyment.
This is me just saying, hold on and stick with me as I try this whole new bumpy ride this next couple months until we return back to our usual course of action, or maybe this'll be the usual course after — Who Knows???.
I'm not sure if anyone out there would call this filmmaker blindspot egregious, but somehow I feel it is. With two marathons complete this year (John Cassavetes & John Ford) I feel a need to spread my wings into some non-American cinema, and with that I want to start diving into the work of Mr. Pedro Almodovar. I've so far only seen his latest release (The Skin I Live In) which I loved, and am looking forward to dissecting the syllabus of seven films I've laid out for myself as listed below:
The marathon will begin next week when I will review one film a week — with an off week given when I have a official Blindspot film to review (i.e. the last Tuesday of each month). I hope you all look forward to it.
There seemed to be a lot of response to my marathon of John Cassavetes recently so here I am at it again filling in some more cinematic blind spots with another great American filmmaker. This marathon though, unlike the Cassavetes, will not be as comprehensive and I can start knowing I've already watched a few of his films, namely: The Searchers and Stagecoach. So obviously those films will not be discussed in this marathon.
This marathon will include:
Fort Apache (1948)
The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
Judge Priest (1934)
How Green Was My Valley (1941)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
Please be reminded that Sir. Andrew Robinson T.U.M.P. Bsc (Fearless Leader and Supreme Overlord) is 100% right almost 100% of the time and that only with his guidance can ascension to Movie Heaven be complete.

Weingarten is the only person who has twice won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. Photograph courtesy of the Pulitzer Prizes
I traveled to Dallas this summer to hear Weingarten speak at the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, one of those events where journalists gather to commiserate, encourage, and envy.
Weingarten had told organizers he wanted to do a Q&A session rather than give a speech. But he changed his mind, e-mailing the Mayborn folks a few days before that he had something to say after all. What he did was tell two stories, both of them about times when he'd acted in an ethically questionable manner.
The first instance occurred in 2004 when he was reporting the article "None of the Above." In that story, Weingarten locates a guy who never votes and tries to figure out why. When he pitched the story, Post higher-ups wanted to do a survey-based, big-picture investigation. Weingarten wanted to write about one person. He prefers the microcosm.
After he spent two days with the nonvoter he chose to follow, the story wasn't working out. Not a bust, but not a barnburner either. So he's standing around with the nonvoter and the nonvoter's friends when somebody pulls out a marijuana pipe. The nonvoter lights it and passes it to Weingarten.
"I was not at that point in my life taking drugs," Weingarten tells the conference audience, "but I had in the past—no more so than your average touring funk reggae band."
He knows that taking the pipe would violate Post policy, that he might even be fired. But he believes that turning it down would brand him as an outsider and end whatever chance he has of establishing a rapport with the nonvoter in whom he has already invested a lot of time and energy.
He takes the pipe. He smokes the pot. He gets the story—a portrait of a guy who has "willed himself into a certain protective ignorance about the way life works."
But he doesn't tell the Post what he's done. He waits until years later, just before the Mayborn speech, to call Leonard Downie, former executive editor of the Post. Downie doesn't say for sure what he would have done if he'd known at the time, but dismissal would apparently not have been out of the question.
In the second instance, Weingarten is a 23-year-old reporter working for the Albany Knickerbocker News. There's a bribery scandal brewing, and the businessman at the center of an allegation is in the hospital. The man is ill, probably not long for this world. During the official investigation of the possible bribery, a notebook emerged with the names of city officials alongside cryptic markings. What do the markings mean?
Weingarten goes to the hospital room of the sick, perhaps crooked businessman. The man is only semi-lucid. Weingarten gets him to reveal that the markings are actually an old retailer's code. Officials have been bribed. The paper runs a front-page story about breaking the code—Weingarten's first big scoop.
The kicker is that, before Weingarten introduced himself, the semi-lucid man said "Doctor?" and Weingarten—rather than saying, "I'm a reporter, not your doctor"—walked over and took the man's pulse. He did identify himself as a reporter after that, though whether the man ever understood whom he was talking to remained uncertain.
Driving home after that speech, I wondered why Weingarten chose to tell these two stories. They were funny, but some people might get the wrong idea. And some people did: There was a mini-furor among news-media types, including this from a Dallas Morning News editorial writer: "So two-time Pulitzer winner Gene Weingarten thinks it might sometimes be OK to violate those pesky ethics if it means getting a good story."
That's an unfair summary of Weingarten's talk from someone who wasn't there. For his part, Weingarten offered a vigorous defense of his actions, except for taking the guy's pulse. That, he says, was without a doubt the most unethical thing he ever did.
But why go there? Why risk besmirching your own reputation? My theory is that this is consistent with his tendency toward self-flagellation. He reveals his faults in his columns. He writes stories about people whose mistakes and quirks mirror his own. So it makes sense that when he gives a speech in front of admiring journalists, he admits to bending the rules. It seems like a meaningful trend to me, perhaps even a profound insight.
I test this theory out on Weingarten. He doesn't buy it. He was, he says, just trying to entertain the audience.

Most popular service: Ultrasonic Cavitation treatments
When and how did you first develop a passion for your work?
I started doing research over a year ago after a back injury. I discovered microcurrent as an alternative to surgery. I began to learn about microcurrent for healing sports injuries among many other medical uses, then learned of it's skin rejuvenation benefits. As I continued to learn about microcurrent, it lead me to Ultrasonic Cavitation, which I also spent months researching. After proving to myself the treatments worked and were permanent, I decided this was something I wanted to bring to people at an affordable price. As a women in my late 40s who has tried almost everything out there, only to be disappointed, I am very excited about these treatments. Also being unable to physically workout because of potential future back issues the Ultrasonic Cavitation was the perfect answer for me to get back to a size and shape I am happy about. I'm sure there are many women out there in the same situation and I can help them with either the microcurrent or ultrasonic cavitation.
What is the best reaction you?ve ever gotten from a client?
Hugs, big smiles, and many thank yous.
Out of your entire repertoire, which is your favorite service to perform and why?
It's hard to say, but I guess the Cavitation because people are so excited with their results. I think they come in hopeful but are unsure. We measure before and after a treatment, when I take those after measurements and tell them the inch loss after only one 30-40 minute session, they are thrilled.

--Dollar may target Y95 in coming weeks, traders say
--Comments on yen's fall by overseas authorities not likely to have much impact
-Euro may rise further if ECB head Draghi expressses optimism Thursday
By Takashi Mochizuki
The dollar was almost unchanged against the yen Monday in Asia, but is likely to keep rising as investors say they can't find a reason to buy the Japanese currency.
As of 0450 GMT, the greenback was a Y92.69 from Y92.85 Friday in New York. Investors say it will soon top Y93.00 and target Y95.00.
"The current yen-weakening trend cannot be changed anytime soon," said Takumi Nomura, a senior dealer at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.
Traders say there are many reasons to sell the yen, including the government's pressure on the Bank of Japan, as well as the ongoing trade deficit. Meanwhile, it is difficult to find a reason to buy the once-popular safe-haven, other than the need for occasional position adjustment, which only creates short-lived yen-buying momentum.
Such a view is widespread in the market, as analysts start to consider revising their dollar/yen forecasts.
"Since the upward momentum has gathered pace, there's a chance the pair may top the Y95 mark. We have started discussing whether we should forecast a rise to 100," said Citibank Japan's chief FX strategist Osamu Takashima.
As the yen keeps falling, overseas criticism that Japan is manipulating its currency is likely to intensify. Finance ministers from the Group of 20 nations will gather in Moscow Feb. 15 and Feb. 16 and comments on the yen may come out of the meeting, but traders say that won't do much to slow the yen's weakening momentum.
One reason is that Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso has shown a strong commitment to rebutting these overseas comments, and traders say his statements make more sense than those of the critics.
Mr. Aso has been saying recent yen weakness is a result of the government's efforts to overcome deflation, and overseas critics have no business attacking Japan, as Tokyo never complained about the yen's recent strength.
"Mr. Aso is so right, and if we consider that the dollar was above Y100 before all the financial crisis, the yen has more room to weaken," Mr. Nomura said.
Meanwhile, the euro was at Y126.25 and $1.3623 from Y126.65 and $1.3640. Traders say they will pay attention to a press conference by European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi after the ECB's rate announcement Thursday.
If he sounds positive on the economy and financial markets, there will be more euro-buying, which could accelerate overall yen-selling, traders say.
The Wall Street Journal Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. dollar against a basket of currencies, was at 70.86.

My first Sundance was in 1998 -- I fondly remember meeting and then doing interviews with everyone from Darren Aronofsky to David Mamet, Julia Loktev to Liz Garbus, and many many others. (What ever happened to Max Makowski?) I think I've been to Sundance every year since (actually there may have been another one in there somewhere that I skipped.) Ten years on, I admit the sheen has worn thin and the thrill has dampened. Now all the festivals blur into a decade of freezing my ass off, endless, circuitous shuttle rides, and dozens of mediocre, forgettable movies along with a small percentage of gems. Or needles in a hackstack, if you prefer a different metaphor. Of course, I have some regrets about not going to Park City this year. But here are five reasons why I'm not feeling so bad.
1.) The best movies end up at New Directors/New Films. While one would always like to say they were the FIRST person to discover "Pi," "Tarnation," "Old Joy," etc, the fact of the matter is that those of us who don't go to Sundance will be able to catch the best of the fest a few months later in New York.
2.) I never liked it. Those who know me might remember that my favorite pasttime in Park City is kveching about something: Being too cold, too tired, too hungry, too frustrated about something. I'm not my self at high altitudes, dehyrdrated and stressed about deadlines. In fact, I'm the worst of my self. And so, apparently, is every other journalist. For more, see the infamous moment: "Ruthe and Me: My Sundance Enemy" from 2005.
3.) I can't afford it. With print magazines folding like first-time poker players and Internet-based media still struggling to come up with workable economic models, there's just not enough money to go around for the average freelancer. If there are bloggers going to Park City this year, somehow thinking they can break even financially, please tell me how you intend to survive. Maybe it's just me, but I'm tired of being underpaid for the privilege of being overworked.
4.) Let's face it: If your're going to go to a film festival, make it Cannes. While it's a wonderful feeling to discover a first-time American director with talent, this is a rare and remarkable once-in-a-Sundance moment that I'd trade in for seeing 10 first-rate world auteur films in the French Riviera every year. Too many Sundance films are soft, star-studded and don't take enough risks. (Why any programmer would let a movie like "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" see the light of day is beyond me.) And the ones that do take risks, oftentimes, don't work. (See "On the Road with Judas," "Somebodies," "One Point O.")
5.) I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sundance may be one of the worst places to see a movie, particularly a small, intimate movie that needs a patient and careful eye. Venues such as the Eccles and Racquet Club are enormous, cavernous places that do little to help a film's first viewing. Early exiting patrons at the Racquet Club create a thunderous clump on the floorboards. The Library Theatre has terrible sightlines. And because of tight schedules, everyone is on the run, thinking about the next place they need to go or how to get some decent sustenance to keep their rumbling tummies from interfering with their viewing enjoyment. This is probably the same for Cannes and Toronto, but because there's always a 30-minute shuttle ride from one venue to another in Park City, time is even shorter at Sundance.
Perhaps because of the economic collapse, fewer big Indiewood companies and low-key sales buzz, this year's Sundance may be more enjoyably mellow than past years. This, I would miss experiencing: Imagine a Sundance where you weren't elbowing folks for a spot on the bus or an empty theater seat or entry to a cocktail party, but could actually take your time, take a breath, and think about cinema, in peace.
Film Fan in PC | December 3, 2009 7:43 AM
Glad to hear of all the SadSack Whiners NOT attending the festival this year. That makes more room for those who enjoy the sights and sounds of the event and town.
Nothing worse then sitting next to ANY of you sorry-ass kill-joys!
jj Lask | February 11, 2009 1:18 AM
How come you don't like my film? I know it's pretentious and all that. But damn. it's good.
Justine | January 19, 2009 4:45 AM
Sundance is way over-covered - which is too bad for the un-praised, un-sold movies that haven't got a sales agent working for them.
I made one trip to Park City, and still rue the time I spent in cramped theaters instead of enjoying a day skiing. What was all the fuss about? What was I doing, racing around to catch a a shuttle to some movie that I just *had* to see, when 1000 people had seen it and dissed it already?
Oh, yeah. Hype.
Hannah | January 14, 2009 7:02 AM
Couldn't agree more.
Biff Stotts | January 13, 2009 12:10 AM
Whooooo-eee! Those grapes are SOUR.
Jane Kosek | January 12, 2009 10:11 AM
Here, here! My sentiments exactly and why I'm not attending either.

|What's your greatest fear?
|Um, hmm… greatest fear. Spiders?
|Well, yes, but what about in your life if something was taken away or if you lost your job, elements like that.
|Aah, I see what you mean. I think it would be my girlfriend. If she wakes up one day, looks at me and thinks I don't want him by my side anymore. That she will fall out of love. That would be the hardest thing doc.
|Why do you fear this?
|I don't know, maybe because I love her so much and that one day it will probably happen. You know you hear about it, read articles about it that your relationship has like a 10 year lifespan. I don't want to start again like that.
|What are you doing about it?
|What do you mean?
|If you fear it, what are you doing to reduce the likelihood of your girlfriend falling out of love?
|That's the problem. Not you of course, but fearing something and letting fear overwhelm your existence. Why not do something about it?
|What should I do?
|Continue being you. She fell in love with you. Don't change who you are. Don't show any less emotion than you did when you first met. Don't stop doing all the things you love doing together. Remember when you first started to date? When you spent two hours in front of the mirror making sure your hair is right, trying to find the perfect place to go for weeks, researching on the internet. Maybe you were lurking on internet forums getting advice if you should get a gift or not. All those things, especially the part where you spent hours upon hours looking inside each other's universes and talking about everything that makes your eyes light up. People fail in relationships because they forget who they are in a relationship. They're so overwhelmed with fear and worry they miss the good parts. They fall into routine, forget about their partners emotionally, become boring, needy and desperate until one day, one of them wants out.
|Jesus, I didn't think of it like that.
|Most of the time, it's the simplest answer that will get you there. It got you there at the start, why wouldn't it meet you at the end?
|me when it starts getting cloudy:
|me when it starts raining:
Please keep this circulating. Cops are getting more and more brazen, know your rights!

Graduate students
I'm a fourth year doctoral student, working with Dr. Elizabeth Hadly and Dr. Gretchen Daily. I'm taking an evolutionary perpective to understand how and why some species are able to survive human modification of the environment, while others can only survive in unaltered habitats. I'm using two closely related species of Costa Rican terrestrial direct developing frogs as a model, and assessing how genotypic and phenotypic differences between the species correlate with habitat use in the field. Full project description.
Luke Frishkoff
I am a fourth-year doctoral student interested in patterns of diversification and extinction in insular communities. My research focuses on the herpetofauna of the Caribbean, with an emphasis on Lesser Antillean lizard communities. More specifically, I am integrating paleontology with molecular biology in order to understand how diversity has changed over geologic time scales. The natural and cultural history of the Lesser Antilles render it an exemplary model system to study how diversification and extinction processes are influenced by ecological and geological perturbations alike. With this in mind, I hope that my work will inform conservation efforts in this biologically rich region.
Melissa Kemp
Curriculum Vitae
I'm a third year PhD student with broad interests ranging from population diversification and adaptation to ecoimmunology and conservation. I am currently working on a project examining how various aspects of a bat's ecology affect its exposure to parasitism and disease and how this in turn shapes its immunogenetic evolution, looking within populations and across species. By combining field work and genetic techniques, I hope to learn more about the evolution of these ecologically important species which also serve as important vectors and reservoirs of emerging diseases. Before graduate school my research included projects researching macroevolutionary patterns of convergence and phylogenetic signal in the toepads of Anolis lizards and the effect of resource availability and other environmental factors on white blood cells and immune function in tuatara, a threatened, endemic, New Zealand reptile.
Hannah Frank
Curriculum Vitae
I am a third year Ph.D. student interested in evolutionary genetics. Although my interests are broad, I am studying the impact of changing environmental and geologic forces on the population genetics of the tuco-tuco, a rodent genus endemic to South America. Before joining the lab at Stanford, I conducted my undergraduate thesis research at Harvard, where I researched the genetic basis of migration in monarch butterflies, focusing on elucidating the population structure of the two monarch subspecies and determining potential genes contributing to the disparate migratory behaviors of the two subspecies.
I am a third year PhD student studying pikas (small mammals related to rabbits - the inspiration for Pikachu) in the Indian Himalayas. My work is aimed at identifying the genetic adaptations that underlie Himalayan pikas' ability to survive in severely hypoxic conditions. Himalayan pikas are being forced to higher elevations due to climate change but some of these species may not have the genetic adaptions necessary to survive the hypoxia of their new higher elevation habitat. Through a candidate gene approach, looking at mitochondrial genes and hemoglobin genes, as well as a less targeted genomics approach, I am hoping to identify genetic adaptations to hypoxia in different Himalayan pika species. By looking at how adaptations are distributed across the pika phylogeny I hope to gain new insight into the mechanisms driving evolution at high altitudes.
Katie Solari
I am a second year PhD student interested in the origin and conservation of mammalian diversity, with an emphasis on the evolutionary trends of insular and venomous mammals. My research uses Eulipotyphlan mammals ("true" insectivores including hedgehogs, shrews, solenodons, and moles) to understand broader processes of molecular evolution, clade diversification, and evolutionary responses to past and present environmental change (climatic and anthropogenic). I am focusing on solenodons, the only surviving endemic insectivores of the Caribbean, to combine my interests in conservation and evolution, as they are venomous, evolutionarily distinctive, and highly endangered due to deforestation and predation by invasive species. My undergraduate research at Cornell applied phylogeography and population genetics to determine that insular muskrats in the Gulf of ME were introduced by humans.
Alexis Mychajliw
Curriculum Vitae
Visiting Scholars
I am a doctoral student in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program at Stanford University working with Gretchen C. Daily and Paul R. Ehrlich in the Center for Conservation Biology. My research primarily focuses on quantifying the populations, community assemblages, and species interactions of organisms in human-dominated landscapes under the framework of countryside biogeography. Much of my work centers on predictive models, habitat use, and metapopulation and metacommunity dynamics of birds and bats in Coto Brus, Costa Rica. This work is largely informed by the need to crystallize a firm link between diversity of life on the planet, conservation biology, ecosystem services, and natural capital. Specifically, I am interested in fine-scale tradeoffs between the conservation of biodiversity and agricultural production in the tropics.
Additionally, with different disciplinary goals and methods, I am interested in reframing the red in tooth and claw narrative of the natural world by examining cooperation between animal communities, social groups, and genders. In collaboration with Joan E. Roughgarden I am investigating the evolution and ecology of social reproductive behavior under the framework of social selection, an alternative to sexual selection theory and its corollaries. I am interested in relating the evolutionary behavioral ecologies of mutualism, behavior in the face of resource limitations, and social reproductive behavior with the human predicaments of consumption, population policy, and gender inequality.
Chase Mendenhall
Feature Story
I have been with the Department of Genetics at the Stanford University School of Medicine since 1992 in the laboratory of Dr. Luca L. Cavalli-Sforza. My research involves the molecular analysis of human DNA sequence variation in human populations. I have been doing pioneering research on human Y chromosome diversification since 1992 that has led to the development of a robust gene tree that elegantly defines numerous Y chromosome varieties with distinctive geographic localization.
The main focus of my research involves deciphering population affinity, substructure and history in contemporary populations using Y chromosome compound SNP and STR lineages. I have coauthored numerous peer-reviewed publications on the subject. I received my B.S. in oceanography from California State University Humboldt, Arcata and my Ph.D. in marine studies from the University of Delaware, Newark.

The recently-reunited British comedy troupe has high hopes for the country in the World Cup 2014.
Monty Python, well known for its comedy sketches, has released a reworked version of its famous song Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, calling it the unofficial World Cup 2014 anthem for England.
The tournament kicks off on June 12 in Brazil; England faces Italy in its opening match.
The group has added an extra verse to the song, which was originally written and sung by Monty Python member Eric Idle in 1979 as part of the film Life Of Brian. Since then, Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life has become a familiar tune in numerous sporting events – it was even featured in the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.
Idle again performs the new version of the song, singing: "When you're in the World Cup, and all your hopes are up, and everybody wants their team to win ... then they go and let you down, and come slinking back to town. It's time for this daft song to begin."
Monty Python, made up of Idle, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam and John Cleese, is set to stage a historical 10-set reunion show in London next month. The last time the troupe performed together was 34 years ago.
The show will also be broadcast into 450 cinemas in Britain and 1,500 more around the world.
Apart from the new track and reunion show, the group will also be releasing a re-issue of Monty Python Sings as well as a box set of all of its previous work (Monty Python's Total Rubbish: The Complete Collection) at the end of June.

Two powerful Jewish organizations are lashing out against the decision to hire Mel Gibson to produce a movie about biblical Jewish hero Judah Maccabee ... TMZ has learned.
The Anti-Defamation League has released a statement -- demanding Warner Bros. pull Gibson off the flick immediately ... saying, "As a hero of the Jewish people and a universal hero in the struggle for religious liberty, Judah Maccabee deserves better."
The statement adds, "It would be a travesty to have the story of the Maccabees told by one who has no respect and sensitivity for other people's religious views."
TMZ also spoke with Rabbi Marvin Hier -- founder and Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center -- who tells us putting Mel Gibson work on a movie about a Jewish hero is "like having a white supremacist portray Martin Luther King Jr."
FYI -- Judah is a central figure in the story of Hanukkah ... as the brave warrior who drove enemies of Judaism out of Jerusalem.
So, let me see if I get this correct, because he made slurs about jewish people a couple years ago, he is band forever. But then, you are acting like Hitler, selected acceptance of who you will let live their lives, you have never said bad things about another race, creed or religion??? Glass house dwelers need the same sensitive training, tolerance than Mel. What he said was bad, but by your actions you are far worse. Shame on you, why not tatoo him??? like my family was... Stop the hate, train people with kindness, not teach them that what they think is true??? Stop it now.
Where did it say he was "cast" in the flick? He's producing and possibly directing as far as as I know. Did I miss the news about the casting? As for the story being "told," the SCREENWRITER does that. These organizations need to take a long walk off a short plank and shut the hell up!!
Yo! ADL ask yourselves... what would Moses do? lol
Those money grubbing jews, they probably want a jewish director to direct the movie so a jew can make the money instead of a catholic, that is how they operate in every aspect of their business dealings! This people are bred to make money since the day they were born$$$$$$$ They speak of being tolerant and then they blacklist people just like the germans during WWIIll, Mel is only attempting to redeem himself and move on with his career and they just wont let it go! The past is the past! live and let live!
@ badmotherhugger --
Mr. Gibson might be a little past the 'conquering hero' (a la Pitt), but he would certainly be cool as Matthias (father of Judah).
Forgive me all, I have just been so pumped up listening to the Handel Oratorio that I am just thrilled at the epic possibilities.
Tee hee
Mel -- who famously directed the arguably anti-Jewish "Passion of the Christ" in 2004 -- has signed on with Warner Bros., which won out over several other studios that wanted the project.
Nierob says Gibson has been working on the Maccabee project for a decade, but now it's about to become real.
Looks like Mel's been in the drivers seat all along so they should STFU it it's to be done at all!
Os, Hollywood has no problem with pedos like Polanski or people in the ME who want to blow Israel off the map, yet they always present them in a positive light, but go back over 60 years ago to keep putting Germans in a bad light with the over 1000 Nazi movies they've made. It's just stupid and hypocritical all the way around. If you don't like his movies, don'*****ch them.
LOL this is insulting.Great thinking Harvey, you always seem to impress me. This is the greatest plug i ever seen in my life about a movie that no one wants to see. This crap is amazing. Lets just hope your not fooling anyone here.
anyone who thinks Gibson is not anti-semite is naive or poorly informed.
He grew up in an anti-semite house where his father taught that the holocaust never happened.
Did you ever hear the expression " en vino veritas", when you drink you tell how you really feel.
And believe me, passion of the christ was really anti-semitic.
Wake up people. like someone said, who would want the Klan to do a bio of the great MLK?
JEWS: You want acceptance, love and tolerance for your people but yet you practice such monumental UNFORGIVENESS?! Now is your chance to prove anti-Semites wrong. Your collective action in this matter is utterly nauseating and, frankly, embarassing me, and I'm not even Jewish. AWFUL hypocrisy. And HORRIBLE PR move!
Warner Bros. thinking it is a good idea to have Mel Gibson to have anything to do with a Jewish history film, considering what he told those officers, when he was arrested for his DWI, has lost all focus of their customer's needs and wants.
Just wondering --
Why would these 'powerful' Jewish organizations want to suppress such an historical epic? Were they protesting 'The Ten Commandments' and other biblical epics?
Just makes no sense to me.
If anyone was a true Christian, they would all know that "GOD" is a forgiving god and that he has already forgiven Mel Gibson for the things he has said and done so why can't other people forgive him. Mel has done excellent work in the past and will continue to do excellent work in the future.
Harvey, you're a Jew. Talk some sense into your bigoted friends! Geeze!
Given his history of anti-semitic rants, well, his over all history toward women and minorities, this man making a movie about a Jewish man would be like the KKK producing a tribute movie about Martin Luther King.

(CNN) -- The NRA has a stern message to gun lovers: Check your weapons at the door.
In recent weeks, gun rights advocates, including "Open Carry Texas," have entered popular restaurant chains with guns in hand.
It's part of an open-carry movement.
In a statement, the National Rifle Association and the institute for legislative action called it "foolish," "downright weird" -- and not the message the organization wants to send.
A Texas gun range owner agrees. "In my opinion radicalism of any kind is wrong. If it's a gun I anticipate it being loaded. If it's in a case you can't have an accidental discharge," said Tom Mannewitz.
Open Carry Texas is firing back saying the NRA has gone "soft."
KTVT reports group members are threatening to cut up their NRA membership cards unless the organization retracts its comments.
In the statement, the NRA says carrying firearms in public, including restaurants, sets "the stage for further restrictions on our rights."

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Distinct clean flavour, crisp dry grains, some toasted and nutty notes, from the middle to the end it's hop time with leafy, musty, spicy, herbal characteristics, aftertaste of dandelion greens.
Medium-full body, silky smooth and clean mouthfeel, moderate carbonation with a little zip on the finish, quite impressive.
A German version of an English ESB produced in Quebec, that's how I connect the dots with this one, and it's one tasty picture. I'm not the biggest fan of such high amounts of Continental hops personal palate-wise, but it's still an impressive and enjoyable ale all the same, and LTM sticks to their guns by producing fine versions of traditional German styles.

This seems to be fairly new and was being sampled at Peluso in Montreal when I happened to stop by (along with the Imperial weizen, which in my opinion is almost sickeningly sweet...the stuff just about cloyed my face off). A small sample was inspiring enough to pick up this 750ml bomber, corked and caged like all their Serie Signature.
Almost-clear and a beautiful ruby-copper colour. It's the colour of the darkest, reddest honey you could imagine being naturally possible; made from some kind of flower with ruby-red pollen. Great rocky off-white head leaves chunks of lacing stuck to the sides of the glass. Careful pouring this one, the head is explosive. The clarity is off-putting somehow for such a dark red/brown beer. Also, retention could definitely be improved upon. Otherwise it looks awesome, the colour is spectacular.
Smells mostly of wheat and earthy European hops. Some half-cooked Brussels sprouts and sweet malt. Good but could be stronger.
Tons of earthy European hops. I don't know hops well enough to say which they are but they aren't any of those floral/piny/citrusy hops found in American-style brews. These taste like plants and soil and they used a lot of them in brewing this stuff. Fairly forward malt presence as well, though hops come out on top of everything. This is not a complex beer but the hops are so tasty that it doesn't need to be. The beer guy at Peluso described it as a German IPA...I like that description! Dry, bitter hoppy finish, no alcohol present.
Medium body and carbonation. Good but nothing special here.
For me this is too bitter to drink much of. I find all of Les Trois Mousquetaires brews to have this quality: while they definitely know what they're doing, they're all too intensely *something* to drink much of. I always struggle to finish off a bomber to myself, not because it's bad but because it's too intense. Drinkable enough to really enjoy a pint, but that's it. The label states that this beer is, "...dominated by a gripping bitterness." I agree. None of the Serie Signature are sessionable in my experience so far.

Warning: Aggressive pour WILL = beer on your counter top. If this is a strong German brown ale then kudos to Deutschland as this is one good looking ale. Reddish brown, kinda looks like old blood.cloudy, with amazing head formation and retention and lacing you could build carpet from.
Nice floral sweetness, touch of honey and spice,
Started out as a 3-3.5 on taste because I noted a lack of balance. Yes, it could be more balanced, but the flavours that are there are well done and the roller coster ride between cinnamon bready malt, citrus hop, more intense cinnamon bready malt, and then that neat ( Jeff nailed it) dandelion herbal bitterness that closes the show down, yet makes you take another sip
Liked the smooth, mid-full body.
This brewer is like that box o' chocolates...always as surprise...good and average. This one falls under good/very good depending on if you like beer that finishes bitter

Color copper-orange with a nice foam when poured. Aroma of bread, cereal, and nuts. Hops aromas resin with a little floral. Medium bodied with a good hops attack. Taste cereal, little caramel, toasted malt. Bitter finish. Like all Signature Serie product from Trois Mousquetaires, it's a really good creation.

750ml Bottle
Appearance - Hazy orange colour with an above average size frothy beige coloured head. I can't really tell how much carbonation there is due to the haziness and there is some really fantastic lacing. The head lasted for over 5 minutes before it began to dissipate.
Smell - malts, caramel, floral/herbs, hops
Taste & Mouth - There is an average amount of carbonation and the beer feels slightly creamy on the tongue. The beer has a very sweet flavour consisting of malts, caramel, and some hops. It has lot of herbal/floral notes to it. It finishes with a sticky sweet floral hop aftertaste.
Overall - This one reminded me a lot of their Kellerbier; which I also enjoyed. The Sticke Alt has a touch more sweetness however. This is a solid beer; I'm happy with my purchase.

Pours a cloudy but very pleasant red brown colour, with a full and thick head of creamy white foam. Looks very pleasant and refined. I particularly like the colour.
Really nice nose. Some peach character, with a refined slightly musty phenolic character. Light grain notes add a little sweetness. Almost a light baked beans note to it. It's very subtle, but very pleasant.
Lovely nutty characters on the palate, with some nice sharp phenolic characters on the front. Some sharpness on the very back, which really clears out the palate very nicely. It's very well done and nicely balanced. Very refined and pleasant.
I do like altbiers, and this is a pretty good one. I love the refined, slightly subtle characters on it, and the nutty palate. It's quite pleasant.

I've been eyeing this one up for some time and finally decided to splurge.
A - Pours a hazy copper colour with an amber hue, two solid fingers of big bubbled beige head with solid retention and some sporadic lacing.
S - Metallic caramel, some leafy hops, very earthy.
T - Very unique flavour, strong bitterness off the top that lingers. The hops are very earthy and sour, reminiscent of fresh lime rind. A caramel malt backbone is undermined by the hops.
M - Medium bodied ale that goes down smooth and finishes with a touch of dryness.
O - This beer is bold, and certainly not for the faint of heart. It packs a strong bitter punch and catches you off guard. Certainly more hoppy than I expected, and the bitterness was quite memorable. I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not certain I would run out for another bottle in the near future.

Sweet, malty aroma with a slight nutty note.
Hazy, deep amber colour with a big, fluffy yellow head. Nice head retention. Great.
Good, malty flavour with a slightly toasty note. Not too sweet with a nice dryness and a big bitterness. The bitterness is very high for the style but not unexpected given the brewer's intention.
Medium body with moderately-high carbonation. Good.
A tasty beer. I love the unusual bitterness here with the complex, tasty, dry maltiness. Very nice.

Appearance: It has a nice rusted brownish/amber color to it. It has a nice beige head that dies down slowly and leaves some nice lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of bready malts, caramel, floral hops, a slight nuttiness and some earthiness.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has bready malts, sweet caramel, floral/earthy hops and faint nuts.
Mouthfeel: It has a med/high carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with good flavors and aromas.

A: Pours a hazy brownish amber in color with light amounts of visible carbonation and some deeper red highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense foamy tan head that slowly reduces to a thick film covering the entire surface of the beer with a slightly thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Upfront there are light amounts of toasted malts with a hint of sweetness. Light to moderate amounts of herbal hops towards the finish.
T: Upfront there is a light flavor of toasted caramel and grainy malts with a very light hint of sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of herbal and floral hops that contribute a light amount of lingering bitternes.
M: Just shy of medium bodied with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of carbonation. Light amounts of dryness in the finish.
O: Interesting in that this beer is slightly more hoppy than I have come to expect for the altbier style (especially having spent a couple of weeks in Dusseldorf). The flavors are a little more bitter and more complex than others in the style.

A: The beer is hazy amber brown in color. It poured with a quarter finger high tan head that died down a bit, leaving a thi head covering the surface, a collar around the edge of the glass, and some lacing on one side.
S: Light aromas of toasted malts and herbal hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and has flavors toasted malts and herbal hops with a light amount of bitterness. Hints of raisins are also noticeable.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is rather bitter for the style but is interesting nonetheless and quite complex to other altbiers.

From a 750 ml bottle to a pint glass.
A: this beer pours a deep rust red with a persistent thumbs worth of fluffy white head. There is ample carbonation visible in the beer, and the head lasts forever. As the beer goes down you are left with thick lacing and a persistent head.
S: the dominant smell is bready malts, but caramel and hops can also be detected along with some spices.
T: bready malts are up front, but the hops are far more dominant on the taste than they are on the nose. The finish combines the bitter of the hops with the sweet of the malts for a nice memory on the tongue.
M: higher carbonation and a medium body.
O: my first experience with the style, I did not know what to expect. I am not sure whether I would purchase another bottle, but I am not unhappy with this beer. I think I need to enjoy more beers in the style for a better feel.

The only other Altbier I've ever had is Schlösser, which was OK, but this is completely different so far so I might have a hard time rating to style.
Pours a reddish brown with a finger and a bit of tan head. Tons of lacing on the sipping side of the glass. The Schlösser was darker but I don't remember it looking this good. Hazelnut, toffee, malted milk and green woody hop aromas jump out of the glass.
Doesn't taste as overwhelmingly malty as the nose suggests. Nutty with peppery and boozy phenols, dark fruit and a bitter and slightly metallic finish. An undertone of sweetness from the malts which is hard to pin down. Something like bubblegum or possibly a scented eraser. A lot of flavor.
Full mouthfeel with just a hint of tingly carbonation. This beer has a lot going for it but the flavors are all a bit too prominent - it never really gels - which is fine for one or two but I couldn't drink more of it. Very nice in small doses, though.

A translucent mahogany pour with lots of billowy off-white head. Dies down after a minute or two, but leaves lots of pretty lacing and a pillow of foam on top of the beer. Very attractive.
Dark malts were the first thing that hit me with this one, combining both caramel/toffee and dark fruit flavours. Some earthy/woody hop presence is definitely there too. Smells promising, though could be a bit more powerful.
In the taste, fruity dark malts (mostly cherry for me) and caramel flavours are balanced out with earthy/herbal hops. A very dry, bitter finish keeps me going for more and more sips.
Nice full mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation.
This isn't a style I generally seek out, but I enjoyed this more than the altbiers I've had in the past. The distinct bitterness made for an interesting drink, even if it was a bit too dry for me in the finish. Regardless, I'll have no problems finishing off the 750.
