Movie News
What did we ever do to deserve something this cool' Sam Jackson is AFRO SAMURAI!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with news of a project that could possibly be the coolest thing ever. On the whole planet of Earth. In the whole Universe, Multi-verse... ever. Sam Jackson as AFROSAMURAI? That concept is... just... wow.
This project, which you can read about over at Variety if you want more info, is going to be adapted to both a live action feature and a cartoon series, where Jackson will also voice the cartoon version of himself.
I don't know about you guys, but I have visions of a live-action CLONE WARS-esque Sam Jackson killing the shit out of bad guys left and right... With the tone of something like SHOGUN ASSASSIN... That's what I want and I hope I get something anywhere near that cool! AFROSAMURAI has just become the title to look for... Although it looks like we'll have to wait for 2007... sigh...

I still think Hollywood can't direct a 'real' fight/action scene. Just my opinion. You watch Naruto episode 133-135 and that is how Spiderman or X-Men should have moved like in the live-action movies.

Whats wrong with niche acting?
by Zergxes
Where did all the acting hate come from? I can think of plenty of niche actors. Hmmm... C.Heston, John Wayne, Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise. S.L. Jackson found an archetype character to work with that people liked and he ran with it. Not everyone wants to be a jack-of-all trades.

Seriously many years ago I wrote a script called SOUTHERN FRIED SAMURAI thus my talkback name.It took place in the 70's.It starts off with a one armed black samurai with a huge afro half dead surrounded by ninjas.It flashes back and tells how he got that way.I wrote it in late 91-92.Its funny because I even had Jackson in mind after seeing JUNGLE FEVER.A friend of mine in the bussiness tried to pass it around.I told him just pitch it as SUPERFLY meets SHOGUN ASSASSAN but nobody was interested.I just thought it was funnny after I heard about this project...peace

My God people are hating on Sam Jackson and praising Six String Samurai in the same post on this fucking site. You'd rather see some no name Buddy Holly looking weirdo in a lame ass movie than Sam Jackson following the code of the samurai and chopping guys in half? Thats a new low folks, Lets face it Sam Jackson is fucking cool. Just like Robert Dnearo whose name i can't spell right Clint Eastwood,Al Pacino and Burt Mother Fucking Reynolds. If they stuck to only action movies and bad ass roles they would never do wrong in our eyes but they gotta do some shitty things for money every now and then. Bottom line Sam Jackson rules ass.

hey Poopflinger, if your being sarcastic you should know better. ...have you ever heard of typecastng? gary oldman for the better part of his career has played the intensely disturbed constantly...so has sam but sam has made other films that are against type. just look at caveman's valentine, coach carter...Unbreakable...Eve's Bayou...the red violin... the thing is jackson has played roles that counter his "badass" archtype but most of you are too retarded and pious to see a graceful, artistic film and would rather watch the expensive trashy b-movie made by paul anderson or some other potential Alan Smithee flick type and complain when it does not match your preconceived notions on what a particular genre or how character should behave. your all guilty! for paying to see regurgitated plots with unexceptional skill...think about how you waste your money next time you go see something you know is crap.
Aug. 4, 2005, 4:10 a.m. CST
Rabban is right
by Mr Bungle
I consistently pay to see regurgitated horror films just to give out about them, but it's an enjoyable hobby. I buy the ones I care about, pay in to the ones I can't wait to dissect and eventually piss on (The Descent turned the tables on that old notion though). Guilty as charged. Now with that out of the way, Afrosamurai sounds like a pretty stupid idea seeing as we already had Forrest Whitaker kicking ass and flirting with pigeons in Ghost Dog. But I enjoy Sam Jackson's stuff, so I'll go see it anyway. I just reserve the right to complain about it. On a slightly less related note, Oldman will always be cooler than Jackson. "Bring me everyone." "What do you mean "everyone"? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYONE!

Aug. 4, 2005, 8:36 a.m. CST
by smackfu
Sam Jackson's not supposed to be a Shakespearian Thespian, he's supposed to be cool. Which is what he is. If 'Afro Samurai' is meant to be next years Million Dollar Baby, then sure he's probably the wrong choice. But by the sound of it, Afro Samurai is meant to be cool, ergo Sam Jackson is the best choice, with Lawrence Fishburne a close second.

And yes, this site is starting to get lame (more lame?) and behind the times...what are some other geek-type-sites do you, my fellow talkbackers, recommend???
don cheadle is too good for afro samurai. if he was to do a hero type of movie he would do better as Mike LeRoi.

It's racist because
by Meremoth
It's a stereo type, alveit a stereotype I've never heard of before. Saying white people can't tell the difference between rice isn't because the white devil has been opressing everyone ever since we stole black powder from the Chinese and built superior weaponry. Besides, just because Sam can't weild a lightsaber doesn't mean that black people can't use swords. It's like saying white guys can't dance. Damn. Ok maybe white guys can't dance. Well Justin Timberlake can dance so there. But he's probably gay so I guess he doesn't count. There now I threw out some homophobia in there for you too.
well i gotta admit most of the time sam did not use his saber too well but hey did he get trained like mcgregor or hayden? somehow i doubt it, hopefully in this next movie sam can get the training that lucas failed to make important. btw...stereotypes are not automaticaly a symptom of racism...it could be classism, prejudice or some other bias other then race...i think some of these folks don't like sam because they are all a bit disenchanted by his repetative roles but are too racist to truely enjoy movies where black people are the main characters.
...by the way oldman sucked in lost in space and jackson rocked in pulp fiction.

So I got to ask, how many of the people that keep saying he is a one trick pony have? I mean, He certainly has played around with the same character a lot in some films... but all og them. Oh and Meremoth... Did you just say gay people can't dance? WTF??? Oh and liljuniorbrown, I mostly agree with you... except with Robert De Niro. I don't want to see him just do action films. I want him to get off his ass and be the badass motherfucking actor he really is. The guy that could be anything in his youth. Age used to mean deep roles... Lion and Winter kind of stuff. But De Niro keeps fucking around with the Fockers! I've got no problem with Action De Niro. Heat... Ronin... gold. But man... Raging Bull... that's what I miss. Peace.

How Are Seat Winners Determined in the Egyptian Elections ?
The new system in Egypt's 2011 elections may seem overwhelming to those trying to figure out how the winners will be calculated. The introduction of the list system and calculations using the 'highest remainder' method has been a cause for confusion. Also, in the individual system, voters can now vote for any two candidates as opposed to one professional and one worker/farmer.
How individual winners are determined per district
Each district will have two seats to be awarded to two candidates. At least one of them must be a worker/farmer.
In the first round a candidate may win a seat by getting a number of votes greater than 50% of the total number of ballots (50% +1 vote). Meaning if a total of 10,000 voters cast their ballots correctly, a candidate would have to get 5001 votes to win a seat.
Since every voter must choose two candidates, each ballot contains two votes. This means the total number of votes made available by 10,000 voters will be 20,000 votes. It is then possible for two candidates to each win 5001 votes in the first round. Two candidates winning 5001 votes or more can secure seats in parliament without a runoff, provided one of them is a worker/farmer.
Candidates unable to secure a seat by garnering the necessary votes go to the second round or runoffs.
Runoffs and the 50% worker/farmers rule
The following are the different cases for which there is a runoff, either no candidates won or one of them did.
· If no candidate managed to secure the total number of votes, then the runoffs will include the top four candidates provided that at least two of them are worker/farmer candidates, and that at least one of the runoff winners is a worker/farmer candidate.
· If the winner in the first round was a professional, the top two worker/farmer candidates compete in a second round.
· If the first winner was a worker/farmer, the next two candidates with the highest votes compete in a second round irrespective of their category
· If two candidates were elected in the first round and were both professional then only the one with the highest number of votes will be chosen and the top two worker/farmer candidates will compete in a second round.
How list winners are determined per district
Each district will have several seats to be distributed to the lists participating in the district. A single district may have four, six, eight, ten or 12 seats.
How are lists ordered?
Lists are ordered so that no two consecutive professionals appear on the list. Any candidate can be placed on the top of the list.
Seat Cost
In each district there are a number of seats assigned to it for lists. Each seat has a cost in the number of votes. This cost is determined as the total number of votes divided by the number of seats. For example if there are 100,000 votes for 4 seats, the cost of 1 seat would be 25,000 votes. If there are 8 seats, the cost of one seat would be12,500 votes.
Let's take the example of one seat costing 25,000 votes. If one list receives over 25,000 votes it will be granted one seat. If a list receives over 50,000 votes, it receives 2 seats.
What about fractions of a seat?
Fractions of the full cost of a seat follow certain rules determined by a system called the highest remainder. In its simplest form, after all the whole seat quotas (e.g. 25,000) has been deducted from the total number of votes for each party, the highest vote remaining for any of the lists receives a seat.
Total number of valid votes: 100,000
Number of seats in district: 4
Cost of one seat = Total Number of Valid Votes / Number of seats = 25,000
6 lists, 4 seats in contention
List Name
Seats Won
The Revolution Continues
Freedom and Justice
The Egyptian Bloc
Because the revolution continues got more than the quota or cost for one seat, it is awarded a seat. The rest of the parties did not get enough votes to secure one seat. So where do the remaining three seats go? They go to the highest remainders after the full votes for a complete seat are subtracted.
The three highest remainders are: Freedom and Justice Party (23k), Al-Wasat (17k) and Revolution Continues (15k).
The three seats go to the three highest remainders.
Nationwide Constraints
In order for a list to be eligible to win any of the seats, a list must have won at least 0.5% of the nationwide valid votes.
How are seats allocated within the list?
The general rule is that each list has an ordered list of candidates. The candidates chosen on the list are by order. The candidates on the list win the seat according to their order within a list. If for example a list wins three seats, then the first three on the list have seats in parliament.
50% worker/farmer rule
The exception to this rule is when the professionals that will be in parliament are more than 50%. In this case, one of the lists will have to skip the professional and give the seat to the next worker/farmer on the list. The list that will have to suffer this is the one with the least 'coefficient'.
A 'coefficient' is calculated as = total number of valid ballots / number of seats won by list.
Nationwide Numbers for Peoples' Assembly
- Number of elected individual seats: 166 (1/3 of total seats)
- Number of elected list seats: 332 (2/3 of total seats)
- Total Number of elected seats: 498
- Percentage of seats that must be allocated to farmers/workers: At least 50 %
Electoral Districts/Constituencies
- Total number of electoral districts / constituencies for lists: 46
- Total number of electoral districts / constituencies for individuals: 83
Seats per district/constituency for lists
- 15 districts have four seats
- One district has six seats
- 19 districts have eight seats
- Nine districts have 10 seats
- Two districts have 12 seats

Posted in Police Reports
ST. PAUL -Midway through a December-long statewide increased DWI enforcement campaign, preliminary reports from 170 law enforcement agencies indicate 675 motorist DWI arrests. In all, around 400 agencies are conducting the increased patrols through New Year's Eve.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety is coordinating the campaign that is supported by $350,000 in federal funds - translating to 7,000 extra hours of enforcement.
In Minnesota during the month of December, 2007-2009, alcohol-related crashes accounted for 34 traffic deaths. During this same period, 8,503 motorists were arrested for DWI.
Consequences for a DWI include loss of license for up to a year, up to $20,000 in legal costs and heightened insurance rates, and possible jail time.
Each year, alcohol-related crashes account for more than 140 traffic deaths and nearly 400 serious injuries. These crashes and fatalities have been declining in recent years, and DPS officials say enhanced DWI enforcement campaigns have been a major factor in Minnesota's continuing trend of lower alcohol-related traffic deaths.
The December DWI enforcement is a component of the state's core traffic safety initiative, Toward Zero Deaths (TZD). A primary vision of the TZD program is to sculpt a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which all motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behaviors. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes - education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response. To-date, there have been 388 traffic deaths in Minnesota compared to 389 at this time in 2009.

December 08, 2000, 1:18 PM — IN A FEW WEEKS, college campuses will empty and thousands of fresh-faced new
graduates will leave academia and head into the work world. For those with degrees in
computer science, engineering, or other information technology-related field, a good
job with any number of companies is theirs for the asking. The question is, what will
win them over? Early feedback from some soon-to-graduated seniors suggests that
companies may be missing the mark when talking to young people about their futures in
One college senior, who asked not to be named, says that recruiters say anything to
get her to sign on with their companies.
"It's nice to be in demand. It's flattering to have these companies more or less
kowtowing at your feet to get you to accept their offer," says the student, a computer
science major at an East Coast university. "But at the same time, I feel like I'm just
fresh meat for businesses to chow on."
The pressure is understandable. With hundreds of thousands of IT jobs vacant in the
United States, attracting and retaining IT personnel is a top priority at most
companies. Without a supply of skilled workers, many companies would experience a
slowdown in their growth and could lose some competitive edge.
"For many companies, [college students are] the only part of the labor pool that's
growing," says Phil Gardner, director of research at Michigan State University Career
Services and Placement. "The labor pool that exists is tapped; we've got such a low
unemployment rate. [Companies are] really ganging up on anything new that's coming
in ... everything else is getting shifted around within the labor market because it's
so full."
For graduates, that makes for a job market in which companies are competing
aggressively to hire them. But picking a job after college is an important first step
in their careers, and few young people are going to be pressured into a job that isn't
exactly right for them.
Money isn't everything
Chief among graduating seniors' concerns is finding a good work environment: a
culture, co-workers, and dress code that suits them.
"It's all about where I feel most comfortable," says a student at University of
California, Berkeley. "If I'm going to be working my tail off for a company, I'd like
to be in a relaxed place and comfy clothes because it takes a little pressure off one
part of your life -- some people call it the 'fun factor.' Assuming co-workers are
decent people and the salary is competitive, I would choose the company where I feel
like I fit in. It's one of those things you just 'know' from the first on-site

Two more bags I made up according to the "Phoebe bag" pattern (see credits). I made them a good few inches larger in all dimensions because I like to carry around the kitchen sink.

It is summer 2007, The Chelsea midfield consists of Michael Ballack,Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, Claude Makelele and young prospect John Obi Mikel (that's right Mikel was once a prospect). That midfield had everything, power, pace, youth, experience, you name it.
Forward to the present day, and after the devastating news that broke yesterday that club legend Super Frankie Lampard is leaving after 13 years, the only one that remains from that incredibly complete midfield is goalscoring wonder John Obi Mikel (it's hard to portray sarcasm over the internet) and his days in blue now also look numbered.
Since Michael Ballack and Claude Makelele departed and Essiens knees went missing we have made no real attempt to sign any players in that position apart from Nemanja Matic last January. This to me has always been very strange how it's took us so long to replace these guys, almost 5 years to be precise. The past few seasons it has been obvious how unbalanced the team has been with the Lampard Mikel partnership in central midfield not being dynamic or athletic enough, the Lampard and Ramires (or Rampard if you will) partnership not being strong enough defensively and Ramires and Mikel partnership not having enough technique.
This begs the question, why has nothing been done to fix this? The youth prospects and Matic aside, why have we not signed a player to fix this gaping hole in our team? My guess is as good as any.
As we are now in the season where transfer rumours are travelling like Darren Bent and everyone is moving everywhere, this gives us a chance to add a suitable partner to the all mighty Matic. The question is, who?
In my opinion deep midfield is the most important position on the pitch as it links both aspects of attack and defense and who ever plays there must contribute to both. Matic has been nothing short of amazing since he arrived but there is something missing and in my opinion that is a distributor, someone that can dictate the play and cut a team to shreds with silky passing. Every great modern team has one of these players, Bayern with Kroos, Real Madrid with Modric and Barca with Xavi are just some examples. Matic is of course a fantastic passer but doesn't have the same vision and passing range as the guys I just mentioned and you can't expect to beat teams that sit back without a passing specialist to stretch the play.
As everyone has heard there has been a rumour spreading like wildfire recently about a certain Spanish midfielder that goes by the name of Cesc and it seems that Chelsea are interested in Mr.Cesc and certain sources are going as far to say he has already completed a medical with us. I don't believe everything I hear but I have been thinking about the pro's and con's of singing him.
Firstly pro's -
He is an incredible passer, probably one of the most creative around at the minute, I have watched him so many times pick out a pass or a through ball that just splits the team in two and opens up so many opportunities
He is reasonably cheap compared to the likes of Vidal, Pogba and Martinez and is still only 27.
He has premier league experience and has experience playing in the role we would want him to play. He played there for Arsenal and was probably the best midfielder in the league at one point playing that deep lying play maker role.
He is homegrown so that fills a homegrown spot on the roster for champions league which is important considering Frank and Ashley have left.
He does not rely on pace which means he could also become a Pirlo type player when he loses a yard and instead may opt to use his brain and passing skills instead which means he could be here for around 10 years taking everything into account.
He has a point prove. After being thrown out of Barca he will want to show them that they were wrong to let him go and prove to everyone that he is still world class
Con's -
He used to play for Arsenal and Barcelona. Well this is self explanatory really.
He supposedly has bad blood with Chelsea and Mourinho. Well that is nothing that can't be fixed, eh Samuel?
I think Cesc Fabregas would be an exceptional signing and the thought of him playing through balls to Diego Costa is mouthwatering to say the least, what do you guys think? Let me know!

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Investigators are trying to restore files deleted last month from the home flight simulator of the pilot aboard the missing Malaysian plane to see if they shed any light on the disappearance, Malaysia's defence minister said Wednesday.
Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference that the pilot, Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, is considered innocent until proven guilty of any wrongdoing, and that members of his family are co-operating in the investigation. Files containing records of simulations carried out on the program were deleted Feb. 3, Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu said.
It was not immediately clear whether investigators thought that deleting the files was unusual. They will want to check those files for any signs of unusual flight paths that could help explain where the missing plane went.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 with 239 people aboard disappeared March 8 on a night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Malaysian authorities have not ruled out any possible explanations, but have said the evidence so far suggests the flight was deliberately turned back across Malaysia to the Strait of Malacca, with its communications systems disabled. They are unsure what happened next and why.
Investigators have identified two giant arcs of territory spanning the possible positions of the plane about 7 1/2 hours after takeoff, based on its last faint signal to a satellite — an hourly "handshake" signal that continues even when communications are switched off. The arcs stretch up as far as Kazakhstan in central Asia and down deep into the southern Indian Ocean.
Police are considering the possibility of hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or anyone else on board, and have asked for background checks from abroad on all foreign passengers.
Hishammuddin said such checks have been received for all the foreigners except those from Ukraine and Russia — which account for three passengers. "So far, no information of significance on any passengers has been found," Hishammuddin said.
The 53-year-old pilot joined Malaysia Airlines in 1981 and had more than 18,000 hours of flight experience. People who knew Zaharie from his involvement in opposition political circles in Malaysia and other areas of his life have described him as sociable, humble, caring and dedicated to his job.
The crisis has exposed the lack of a failsafe way of tracking modern passenger planes on which data transmission systems and transponders — which make them visible to civilian radar — have been severed. At enormous cost, 26 countries are helping Malaysia look for the plane.
Relatives of passengers on the missing airliner — two thirds of them from China — have grown increasingly frustrated over the lack of progress in the search. Planes sweeping across vast expanses of the Indian Ocean and satellites peering on Central Asia have turned up no new clues.
"It's really too much. I don't know why it is taking so long for so many people to find the plane. It's 12 days," Subaramaniam Gurusamy, 60, said in an interview from his home on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. His 34-year-old son, Pushpanathan Subramaniam, was on the flight heading to Beijing for a work trip.
"He's the one son I have," Subaramaniam said.
Before Wednesday's news briefing at a hotel near the Kuala Lumpur airport, two Chinese relatives of passengers held up a banner saying "Truth" in Chinese and started shouting before security personnel escorted them out.
"I want you to help me to find my son!" one of the two women said.

Hishamuddin announced that a delegation of Malaysian government officials, diplomats, air force and civil aviation officials will head to Beijing — where many of the passengers' relatives are gathered — to give briefings to the next of kin on the status of the search.
Aircraft from Australia, the U.S. and New Zealand on Wednesday scoured a search area stretching across 305,000 square kilometres (117,000 square miles) of the Indian Ocean, about 2,600 kilometres (1,600 miles) southwest of Perth, on Australia's west coast. Merchant ships were also asked to look for any trace of the plane.
Nothing has been found, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.
China has said it was reviewing radar data and deployed 21 satellites to search the northern corridor, although it is considered less likely that the plane could have taken that route without being detected by military radar systems of the countries in that region.
Those searches so far have turned up no trace of the plane, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.
Indonesian Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said Indonesia military radar didn't pick up any signs of Flight 370 on the day the plane went missing. He said Malaysia had asked Indonesia to intensify the search in its assigned zone in the Indian Ocean west of Sumatra, but said his air force was strained in the task.
"We will do our utmost. We will do our best. But you do have to understand our limitations," Purnomo said.
Hishammuddin said both the southern and the northern sections of the search area were important, but that "some priority was being given to that (southern) area." He didn't elaborate.
Malaysian investigators say the plane departed 12:41 a.m. on March 8 and headed northeast toward Beijing over the Gulf of Thailand, but that it turned back after the final words were heard from the cockpit. Malaysian military radar data places the plane west of Malaysia in the Strait of Malacca at 2:14 a.m.
Thailand divulged new radar data Tuesday that appeared to corroborate Malaysian data showing the plane crossing back across Peninsular Malaysia.
The military in the Maldives, a remote Indian Ocean island nation, confirmed to Malaysia that reports of a sighting of the plane by villagers there were "not true," the Malaysian defence minister said.
German insurance company Allianz said Wednesday that it has made initial payments in connection with the missing plane. Spokesman Hugo Kidston declined to say how much had been paid, but said it was in line with contractual obligations when an aircraft is reported as missing.

Backpacker Magazine – June 2003
3 hidden hikes in our readers' favorite backpacking park
Know the top-of-the-world feeling you have when a trail crests a high-mountain pass? Now imagine a trip where the exhilaration and views go on all day, for days on end. That's the Jefferson Pass route. This alpine circuit threads a line among the lofty peaks and pinnacles of the park's wild northwest corner.
Soon after you leave the trail at Brown Pass and ascend the ramparts of Thunderbird Mountain, it hits you: This is a mountain goat's perspective of Glacier. Above, the summit and the jagged crest that leads to The Sentinel. Beneath you, 4,000 feet of air. Like the goats, you will need savvy route-finding skills and poise on steep snow and loose rock to complete this rugged 22-mile one-way, off-trail route. (To make it a loop, start and finish at Goat Haunt Lake, for a total of 34 miles.)
Rewards are rich for those that make it as far as Redhorn Peak. Here, a game trail, etched deep into the crest's bedrock by countless hooves, winds its way south, offering sweeping, once- in-a-lifetime views of the Livingston and Lewis ranges. Crest views fade, but the memorable solitude remains, as the route drops steeply beside Two Ocean Glacier's runoff to the Waterton River.
Cut Bank Pass/Marthas Basin
If you're looking for Glacier's quietest backcountry, but prefer traveling on-trail, look no farther than the region known as The Nyack. Many hikers wonder about this seldom-seen southeast corner of the park and blink at the major ford that the traditional route requires. A mere handful know of the elegant, high approach from the east to this secluded wilderness and its jewel, the treeline cirque known as Marthas Basin.
Begin with a boat ride across Two Medicine Lake in a valley known for its reddish mountains, and ascend 2,500 feet to the broad saddle of Dawson Pass. Here, bighorn sheep often welcome hikers to the finest 3-mile skywalk a park can offer. After a day of gawking at the sheer east face of 10,142-foot Mt. Stimson, sleep north of Cut Bank Pass.
The next day, follow the rarely used path west to Marthas Basin. Set up camp at Beaver Woman Lake, at the foot of Mt. Pinchot, and wander over to Buffalo Woman Lake to count the 100-foot waterfalls. In the morning, climb 9,310-foot Pinchot to view a sea of high peaks, as well as a summit log with sparse, twice-per-decade entries. Total miles: 40 round-trip.
