Sorry for quoting the whole thing, my phone isn't playing nice...
Eh, I've been a paid subscriber once, and won subscriber status once, but I'm probably not going to do it again. I don't mind helping out, but I just don't use Neowin all that much these days. Just when I'm bored at work. Plus the news section has gone for the dumpster, poor forum moderation, and too many annoying trolls on the board don't really make it worth it to me. I don't want to sound ungrateful for the service provided, but it's just not the same site I subscribed to years ago.
I say this is not true though. I got a baseless warning the other day, replied to the PM from the moderator, and was ignored. Of course, I'd have to care about my warning level to pursue it anymore. Hell, I don't even know where to see what my warning level is at the moment, but I've only gotten probably 2 or 3 warnings in my 10+ years here, so I'm not too worried they are going to add up to anything that matters.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?
President Obama is pressing congressional leaders to consider a far-reaching debt-reduction plan that would force Democrats to accept major changes to Social Security and Medicare in exchange for Republican support for fresh tax revenue.
At a meeting with top House and Senate leaders set for Thursday morning, Obama plans to argue that a rare consensus has emerged about the size and scope of the nation's budget problems and that policymakers should seize the moment to take dramatic action.
In debt talks, Obama offers Social Security cuts
Obama, Democrats not ready to play 14th Amendment card with debt ceiling
Republicans, Democrats spar over tax increases for debt deal
McCain opposes balanced-budget amendment in debt deal
As part of his pitch, Obama is proposing significant reductions in Medicare spending and for the first time is offering to tackle the rising cost of Social Security, according to people in both parties with knowledge of the proposal. The move marks a major shift for the White House and could present a direct challenge to Democratic lawmakers who have vowed to protect health and retirement benefits from the assault on government spending.
"Obviously, there will be some Democrats who don't believe we need to do entitlement reform. But there seems to be some hunger to do something of some significance," said a Democratic official familiar with the administration's thinking. "These moments come along at most once a decade. And it would be a real mistake if we let it pass us by."
Rather than roughly $2 trillion in savings, the White House is now seeking a plan that would slash more than $4 trillion from annual budget deficits over the next decade, stabilize borrowing and defuse the biggest budgetary time bombs that are set to explode as the cost of health care rises and the nation's population ages.

Republican style! How is this different from slavery?
While Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's (R) law dismantling collective bargaining rights has harmed teachers, nurses, and other civil servants, it's helping a different group in Wisconsinites — inmates. Prisoners are now taking up jobs that used to be held by unionized workers in some parts of the state.
As the Madison Capital Times reports, "Besides losing their right to negotiate over the percentage of their paycheck that will go toward health care and retirement, unions also lost the ability to claim work as a 'union-only' job, opening the door for private workers and evidently even inmates to step in and take their place." Inmates are not paid for their work, but may receive time off of their sentences.
The law went into effect last week, and Racine County is already using inmates to do landscaping, painting, and another basic maintenance around the county that was previously done by county workers. The union had successfully sued to stop the country from using prison labor for these jobs last year, but with Walker's new law, they have no recourse. Watch a report from Fox6 in Green Bay:
The Washington Examiner called Racine's move "another success story" and "all great news for Wisconsin taxpayers. Hopefully, we'll see more of it." So far, it appears no other jurisdiction has followed Racine's example — for now. It may just be a matter of time to allow existing union contracts to expire. The spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office of Dane County, which includes Milwaukee, said, "Nobody in our jail will be benefiting…at this time" from the new law, but the left the door open for future changes.

Just as I've always predicted, Obama is going to go after Social Security:
Two weeks ago, that first assumption proved true: Democrats proposed a few hundred billion in new tax revenues (a small fraction of the trillions of dollars in spending cuts Republicans are demanding) so GOP principals threw up their hands and abandoned the discussions. But the second assumption isn't built on bedrock. And in recent weeks, congressional aides, strategists, and advocates have been floating, or warning of, a stealth change to the Social Security benefit structure that has quietly been placed on the negotiating table.
The proposal wouldn't just impact Social Security benefits. It would also shave off yearly increases in federal pension payouts, and result in somewhat higher tax revenues. But the ratio would be skewed toward benefit cuts by a factor of about 2-to-1 and would represent a financial hit to even the poorest retirees unless they were exempted.
The idea is to change the way Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) are calculated across the federal government. Currently, the COLAs for tax brackets, pensions, and Social Security are tied to different measures of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Because spending habits change when living costs increase, some experts think these measures are too generous, and want to change all of the COLAs to a different, smaller measure of inflation: the so-called "chained-CPI."
On the tax side, this would likely draw more revenue: Tax brackets would rise more slowly than incomes, so people would get kicked into higher brackets more quickly and, voila, more income subject to taxation.
But on the benefits side, this means money out of people's pockets, even current retirees and pensioners. Responding to a letter of concern from House Democrats' top Social Security guy the program's chief actuary explained that moving to "chained-CPI" would constitute an immediate 0.3 percent benefit cut. That may sound small, but the effects would compound, and "[a]dditional annual COLAs thereafter would accumulate to larger total reductions in expected scheduled benefit levels of about 3.7 percent, 6.5 percent, and 9.2 percent for retirees at ages 75, 85, and 95, respectively."
I'm still not clear on why Democrats are validating Republican deficit hysteria. As Dick Cheney said, "Reagan proved deficits don't matter." Unless there's a Democrat in the White House, of course:
Washington, DC — Roger Hickey, co-director of the Campaign for America's Future commented on reports that Senate Democratic Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND) will present a "50-50" plan for deficit reduction; according to The Hill, the Conrad plan would "balance the burden of reducing the deficit roughly 50-50 between increasing tax revenues and cutting government spending."
Roger Hickey, co-director of the Campaign for America's Future said:
"The Conrad proposal is the first strong Democratic proposal that has come out of these negotiations. Of course the devil is in the details, but 50-50 could be a fair deal for Americans. Let me be clear about what a fair deal would include: No deal without the rich and big corporations sharing in the sacrifice. No deal that would harm the essential programs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. No deal that takes more out of the programs for middle income and poor Americans than it takes from tax breaks, loopholes and havens for the rich and the big corporations, and no deal that undermines the economic recovery.
"We encourage Senator Conrad, the President and all the negotiators to stand up for the American people and not shift the burden of the deficit down to the people who need government help the most including sick, elderly and disabled people."
And children. But apparently our president only cares about his own kids.
That this is happening to enough soldiers that it's even necessary:
(CBS News) NEW YORK – Most families who lose a loved one in the war zones receive a letter of condolence from the President of the United States. But there are a few who do not receive this honor. It's long standing policy – going back many years – that troops who commit suicide in war do not get the president's acknowledgment.
The CBS Evening News first reported on this last week, and tonight we have learned the White House is changing the policy. CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano brings us up to date with the father who led the fight to change the rules.

About that oil spill in the Yellowstone River? Here's something Montana's Gov. Brian Schweitzer said last year:
"After church and at the bar, and in coffee shops people are watching what's happening in the Gulf and they're wondering if that could happen in Montana," Schweitzer said.
According to Tom Richmond, administrator for the Board of Oil and Gas Conservation, the well that's gushing oil into the Gulf is about 100 times bigger than even the largest wells in Montana. Richmond said all of Montana's oil wells combined don't produce as much oil per day as what's flowing into the Gulf of Mexico daily.
"Montana has a complex geologic environment, and some of that environment actually helps reduce our risk," Richmond said.
He said most of Montana's oil reservoirs are low-pressure, making the possibility of a catastrophic oil well blowout unlikely. In addition, multiple safeguards are in place at every well to prevent blowouts or contain spills if they occur, Richmond said.
The most likely cause of a worst-case scenario spill would come from oil pipelines, state officials said. If a pipeline were to leak near a body of water such as the Yellowstone River, which flows through the heart of oil and gas country in eastern Montana, all bets are off.
Schweitzer said pipeline officials recently told him that safeguards were in place to ensure that leaks would be found quickly and that there is little danger to Montana's waterways. However, Schweitzer pointed to a recent incident in Utah where a leaking pipeline spilled an estimated 33,000 gallons of crude oil into a creek that flows into the Great Salt Lake.
"How did that happen?" Schweitzer asked.
Gee, you don't suppose they decided to save money by not doing maintenance and upgrades, do you? Because oil companies are usually so careful about that kind of thing!

The Dell SC8000 Storage Center Controller, SC200/SC220 Expansion Enclosures, and SC280 Dense Enclosure have earned the ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage designation. Click here to learn more about the ENERGY STAR Storage 1.0 designation*.
*Multiple SC8000 arrays may be deployed in "clustered" configurations of any size using the SC Series Live Volume feature. Transparent, non-disruptive volume movement among arrays is enabled, allowing the combined capacity and cache of the entire cluster to be seamlessly utilized for maximum performance and scalability in expanding data centres.
For example, a cluster of eight SC8000 arrays can provide a total of 7,680 drives (up to 24PB raw capacity) with over 1TB of system cache. Live Volume acts as a "storage hypervisor," preserving server-side mappings as users quickly redistribute workloads among any number of additional controller pairs without I/O interruption. Best of all, the SC Series Volume Advisor feature recommends the best initial data placement within the cluster when new volumes are created, constantly monitoring all arrays to proactively recommend optimization changes as needed over time, based on customizable performance and capacity policies.
Automatic data tieringStorage Center 6.4 Data Progression has been enhanced to support multiple tiers of SSDs, which ensures that all writes go into Tier 1, RAID 10, SLC SSDs for increased performance. Additionally, Data Progression moves read-only data to Tier 2, RAID 5, MLC SSDs to ensure cost-optimized read performance and free up Tier 1 for writes. This provides built-in, extremely granular intelligence that automatically tiers data and optimizes performance while still protecting your data. SC6.4 Data Progression dynamically moves data between SSD tiers within the flash-optimized SC220 solution and places inactive data on the high capacity HDD drives within the SC220, SC200 or the ultradense SC280 enclosures, all within a single array.
Dynamic Capacity: thin provisioningBuilt into every Dell Compellent Storage Center system, thin provisioning delivers efficient storage utilization. Our advanced thin provisioning, called Dynamic Capacity, completely separates storage allocation from utilization, enabling users to allocate any size volume up front yet only consume physical capacity on write. You can even reclaim capacity that is no longer in use by applications, automatically reduce the space needed for virtual OS volumes and convert traditional volumes on existing storage to thin-provisioned capacity.
Data Progression: Automated tiered storageBased on actual use and performance requirements, Dell Compellent Data Progression automatically classifies and migrates data to the optimum tier and RAID level. All new data is written to Tier 1, RAID 10, for the highest write performance, yet snapshots automatically move to the lowest tier and most cost-effective RAID level within 24 hours. The most active blocks of data remain on high-performance SSD, Fiber Channel or SAS drives, while inactive blocks dynamically migrate to lower-cost, high-capacity NL-SAS drives. With Data Progression, organizations can dramatically reduce ongoing costs of storage.
Data Instant Replay: Space-efficient snapshotsDell Compellent Data Instant Replay enables organizations to take thousands of continuous snapshots to speed recovery to any point in time. Fluid Data technology doesn't require full-volume clones — not even to provide a base snapshot. Instead, after first write an initial snapshot is taken of that write data only. Subsequently, only incremental changes in data are captured and the system uses real-time intelligence to create virtual pointers between all associated blocks. Stored on lower-cost drives to free up Tier 1 capacity, in most cases these readable/writable snapshots can be used to recover any size volume to any server in less than 10 seconds.
Remote Instant Replay: Thin replicationDell Compellent thin replication technology, called Remote Instant Replay, leverages space-efficient snapshots between local and remote sites to deliver a cost-effective disaster recovery solution. After initial site synchronization, only incremental changes in data need to be replicated regularly, cutting hardware, bandwidth and administration costs. You can choose between replicating data over Fiber Channel or native IP connections, depending on your unique business requirements.
Live Volume: Dynamic business continuityDell Compellent Live Volume enables organizations to move volumes on demand between Storage Center arrays within a local storage grid. All migration occurs transparently while applications remain online. And the functionality is fully integrated into the virtualized storage platform, eliminating the need for additional hardware or server-side agents. Live Volume supports any virtualized server environment. In fact, migrated volumes automatically map to associated hosts regardless of physical location to Dell complement leading virtual machine movement engines.
Storage Center GUI: Intuitive managementDell Compellent Storage Center features a unified, point-and-click interface that cuts administration time and eliminates the need for specialized skills. The intuitive interface automates repetitive, time-consuming tasks so data center staff can focus on other important projects. Complex allocation, configuration and administration functions are easily accomplished with wizards to guide the process. And comprehensive Support Assist capabilities deliver remote, diagnostic and monitoring tools coupled with automated alert and notification services.
Enterprise Manager: Enterprise storage managementEnterprise Manager simplifies storage resource management by providing comprehensive monitoring and management of all local and remote Dell Compellent Storage Center systems. You can gain instant visibility and control of a multi-terabyte, multilocation environment, streamlining administration and reducing operating costs. Configure and verify remote replication processes, monitor storage capacity and disk utilization in real time, and generate comprehensive storage usage and performance reports — all from a single pane of glass.
Data Center Automation: Technology partner integrationWith aggressive platform integration, ongoing interoperability testing and collaborative design efforts, Dell Compellent delivers best-of-breed data center automation for industry-leading applications. Dell Compellent has a vast array of integration points with VMware® to manage storage and virtual machines together including a vSphere™ plug-in, a vCenter™ SRM adapter and VAAI plug-in support.The Storage Center Command Set for Windows PowerShell streamlines system management with an intuitive scripting interface.

Obituary: John Wain
Wednesday 25 May 1994
JOHN WAIN is often thought of as one of the group of angry young novelists, and poets too, which in the Fifties was known as the Movement. There was too much variety, as Philip Larkin pointed out, for any joint declaration or policy of intent, or even of much uniformity in a group that comprised poets and novelists as different as Larkin, Elizabeth Jennings, Iris Murdoch, Kingsley Amis and Wain himself.
Wain's was also a gregarious and affable personality who had no interest in grumbling and complaining about society, or in the self- cherished gloom that surrounded his friend Larkin. Indeed, his sociable, outgoing qualities were the most evident feature of Wain when an undergraduate. He got on extremely well with his tutor, CS Lewis, which might seem surprising since Wain himself had no interest in religion or in Lewis's somewhat medieval attitudes to modern life. But they loved drinking beer and discussing affairs and literature together, for both of them had a robust Johnsonian curiosity and pleasure in many different books and subjects; and both were clubbable and convivial in disposition. Indeed, Wain's book on Dr Johnson, Samuel Johnson (1974), is one of his best, for he understood and loved the man and would have held it an honour to try in part to resemble him and take the same kind of sturdy and downright moral stance.
Wain also used to frequent the Inklings, the literary circle who met in Oxford's pubs to discuss literature and to read their own work. The circle was inaugurated by Lewis and JRR Tolkien, of whom Wain used to give an accurate but benevolent imitation when he was reading his work in progress, The Lord of the Rings. Neither Larkin nor Amis, who had been rather older fellow-students of Wain at St John's College, would have cared much about that kind of thing, but Wain always had a broader and more catholic outlook than they had: nor was his independent political attitude, often radical and usually unorthodox, ever fixed in the kind of Toryism which the other two came to adopt.
The mid-Fifties were a time of change and enterprise in writing and the younger English novelists, for all their obvious dissimilarities, did also have something in common. They had an irreverent and iconoclastic attitude to the novel form and to writing generally. Wain's first novel, Hurry On Down (1953), has a good deal in common with Amis's Lucky Jim, published the following year, except that its hero, Charles Lumley, samples a greater variety of occupations - as burglar, hospital worker and window cleaner - than does the pseudo-academic Jim Dixon, nor is he presented with the same contrived fortunate solution to his problems. The humour of the novel is subtly different too - more verbal and less slapstick - nor is there anything naive about the presentation of domestic life. The put-upon young father is admirably done, and there is a splendid moment when a meek little man who has been telling a stately American woman an interminable anecdote about giving a watch to his fiancee is suddenly heard saying loudly 'I'll give the works after we get married.'
For sheer zany wit and liveliness, Wain's early novels certainly vie with those of Amis, and survive much better today than the more ponderous and complacent offerings of John Braine, whose Room at the Top appeared four years after Hurry On Down.
Wain's poetry at the time also showed a strong personality of its own and a marked sense of form. Nevill Coghill, the Merton Professor of English Literature at Oxford, who translated The Canterbury Tales and was both friend and admirer and no mean judge, considered collections such as Weep Before God (1961) to be some of the best poetry to have come from a young poet since the Second World War. Certainly Wain later made an excellent Professor of Poetry himself at Oxford, bringing out a candid and searching volume of essays on the office called Professing Poetry (1977), and giving much help and encouragement to younger colleagues and aspirants of the literary arts. He was at his best a brilliant lecturer and teacher, and I shall always remember a talk he gave on Dickens's Our Mutual Friend which seemed to me to sum up the whole genius of that novel. Wain's friend and one-time colleague Professor Wallace Robson, who died last year, always spoke of Wain's inspirative conversation and teaching in terms of the highest praise.
Wain's sturdy personality made him less supple in moving with the times than were some of his contemporaries. His own deep admiration for novelists like Arnold Bennett inclined him to develop and continue with a style that was no less his own for becoming distinctly old-fashioned and out of tune with post-modernist devices. His series of novels about Oxford town, as opposed to university, typified by Young Shoulders (1982) and Where the Rivers Meet (1988), concerned a young student who moves between two worlds - the academic and the plebeian - and gives a strikingly vivid picture of the town 20 years ago: it may well remain readable when much of today's more modish fiction has been forgotten.
Matrimonially Wain had his ups and downs, but always retained the affection and loyalty of the women in his life. He grieved greatly at the death of his second wife, Eirian, with whom he had lived in Oxford for many years, and he was extremely happy in his third marriage. His sudden death will shock his many friends, young and old.

By: Caleb James, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The many faces of Albuquerque were in the city council chambers Monday night, speaking both against and in support of APD.
It was a chance to be heard. To speak out. Out of anger, out of frustration, and for many, out of helplessness.
Monday night was about the idea that starting a conversation is the first step.
"I fear that I might be attacked when I hear sirens," Tylina Hardy told the council. Hardy came to speak out against police brutality. She's joined protests and demonstrations, but told KOB eyewitness News 4 the council meeting was a chance to face city leaders and ask for help. "I want citizen-elected and populated oversight commissions with the power to investigate, indict and overrule," she told council members.
Well over a hundred people stood up to use their voices during the meeting, which lasted five hours and five minutes. Others spoke their peace without words. Some had recommendations; asking for everything from asking for the firing of Albuquerque mayor Richard Berry to a full DOJ takeover. Ideas that rustled cheers from the 240 people in the room. But, not every idea was popular.
"Two men/women patrols, like in the military you have a battle buddy. More training, evaluating mental health. Am I booing you guys who are protesting? Am I?" one speaker said.
Speakers in support of APD were in the minority, but their voices rose just as high.
It was a room divided, but in a strange way united at once, with a desire to be heard.

Helicos reshuffles CFO position
- Craig M. Douglas
Helicos BioSciences Corp., a maker of gene-analysis technologies, announced on Tuesday a senior-level executive shuffling that will replace Stephen Hall, its current chief financial officer, with financial-services veteran Jeffrey Moore.
The Cambridge, Mass.-based company said it inked a separation agreement with Hall on Aug. 6. He will remain in his current role until Aug. 14, the expected publication date of Helicos' (Nasdaq: HLSC) second quarter financial results. Hall is expected to remain as an employee with the company through Aug. 31, according to a regulatory filing.
As severance, Hall will receive a lump-sum payment of $92,667, or roughly four months-worth of his $278,000-per-year salary, as well as health and dental benefits through Dec. 31. He will also receive "executive level outplacement services" for an undisclosed period, the company said. Certain stock option and restricted stock grants are scheduled to vest on an accelerated basis as well.
Moore, 46, is slated to take over as Helicos' CFO Aug. 14. He previously served as a managing member of Fiske Pond Advisors LLC, a financial advisory firm. He was also the CFO for Affinova Inc., a Massachusetts-based software firm, and served as vice president of finance for Flagship Ventures in Cambridge from 2000 through 2006.

Saturday certainly was a rough day to be an Eagle. Women's basketball gets roughed up on the road. The baseball team gets hammered in a doubleheader. Then the men's roundball team loses to a school which yells, "Let's Go Peay!" Ouch.
COCHRAN, Ga. – It was a long night for Bulloch Academy forwards Darion Carter and Paul Son in the Gators' second-round game in the GISA Class AA boys' basketball tournament Saturday at Middle Georgia College.
MARANA, Ariz. - Tiger Woods holed another crucial putt on the 17th hole Saturday, this one sending him into the 36-hole final of the Accenture Match Play Championship for the fourth time in nine tries.
Blue Devils 72, Lee County 49
The Lady Blue Devils were supposed to be region champions this season.
PORTAL - Every time the Portal Panthers (27-1) got a comfortable lead, Tavis Williams and his 27 points put Seminole County right back in it. But PHS was able to control Williams in the second half as they knocked off the Indians 75-66 to advance to the Sweet 16 of the GHSA Class A state playoffs.
The Screven County Lady Gamecocks grabbed the No. 3 seed of the GHSA Class AA state playoffs after knocking off Jefferson County in the Region 3-AA playoffs, and look to carry that momentum against No. 2 seed Mitchell County on the road tonight.
Georgia Southern's season-opening baseball game with Boston College was rained out on Friday night.
Eric Ferguson says he wasn't, 'in the zone'. He didn't feel 'unconscious'. He doesn't really think there was anything extraordinary about putting 47 points up in a region championship game to lead Statesboro to its first title since 2004.
The Southeast Bulloch boys soccer team traveled to Dublin Thursday night to take on the East Laurens Falcons in winter monsoon conditions.
The Southern Ruggers of Statesboro will hold a six-team tournament starting Saturday at Mill Creek Park.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jim Harbaugh welcomes a sit-down with 49ers CEO Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke to discuss the future - his future - after a season that will end in two weeks without a playoff berth for the first time during his four-year tenure.

Livid is a beautifully shot French horror film from Inside (2007) writers/directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo. It is worth mentioning film editor Baxter who has been cementing himself as a great French horror film editor, I am sure his expertise contributed to the ethereal look of the film.
There were a few issues with the theme of Livid, while the story seems to have taken a turn for the worse in the final few scenes, losing it's cohesive fluidity, I have to wonder if it was the writer's intention to have multiple fantastical plots or if there was a disconnect in the poor translation from French to English in the subtitles. The movie was full of literal translations which…
I'm pretty good at tempering my expectations, so while I was looking forward to Bustillo and Maury's follow-up to Inside, I knew it probably wouldn't be as good.
And it's not.
The first half of the film is an incredibly effective haunted house movie with a pretty standard set up of a young nurse who's put in charge of caring for an old lady in a creepy house. It looks great and has mad atmosphere and there's a couple of references that horror fans will pick up on. Cool, I'm with it.
Then, at the halfway mark, the film delves into the backstory of the old lady, and everything goes to shit. It seems that the filmmakers just had a…
What a jumbled mess.
There must be a movie hiding in here somewhere, maybe even three of them. It's just too bad the directors didn't pick one.
Bustillo and Maury proved with Inside that they are perfectly capable to produce disgusting and tense horror. It is therefore a mystery to me why they chose to produce this clichéd and fractured film without any focus, scope or central idea.
There are hints of something better, but that's just what they are. There is stuff to enjoy, the build up is nice and slow and has some creepy moments, there is an abundance of well shot gore and it at points looks beautiful. It just doesn't know what it wants to be and thus falls flat on its face and ends up being nothing at all.
Which is a shame because it oozes potential and talent.
Frustration, thy name is Livide.
There's a good film in here somewhere, and there are flashes of macabre brilliance, but they don't add up to a satisfying enough whole.
There's a fair bit that does work, the location is great, the first half of the film has wonderfully creepy atmosphere, and the gore is suitably icky. I also really admired the mundanity of the opening moments, as Lucie starts her new job as a home care giver, going great lengths to give some background on her character without having her say all that much.
And then things start to be revealed, and it all goes to crap. I don't mind having to work to be able to understand a film,…
Termino mi cumpleaños con una deuda pendiente de la que no sé qué hostias pensar. Digo yo que se mueve entre lo sublime y lo ridículo, lo que pasa que lo segundo pesa más porque el desenlace es una mariconada hortera y tirando a fea. A veces no vale todo cuando se trata de un todo vale. Claro que ante uno de los mejores fatalitis de los últimos años uno también se rinde.
The follow up to Inside Julien Maury and Alexndre Bustillo for the most part eschew the hyper gory intensity of that film and present us with more of a dark fairy tale.
Lucie is a young girl starting a role as an care nursing treating the elderly in their own homes. She is shown the ropes by the jaded Mrs Wilson. They visit the house of former ballet teacher Deborah Jessel, comatose for years and kept alive by machines. Wilson mentions a treausore some description hidden somewhere in the house. That night Lucie enlists the help of her boyfriend Willian and his brother Ben to break in and locate the treasure.
Of course, things take a turn for the dark,…

Un buen acercamiento de los cineastas franceses creadores de Al interior al género vampirico, con un tono de horror crepuscular y la suficiente dosis de crueldad que hizó del horror frances un referente.
Livide (2011) Film Thoughts... FINALLY was able to see this film by the directors of Inside (2007), as it is still not released in the USA, it was difficult to acquire. The base story is this, a girl has become a nurse's assistant and it's her first day on the job. The main patient is an extremely old woman, kept in a coma like state, who lives in a huge old and decrepit mansion (which incidentally is the house you were told as children NOT TO GO INTO). She is told by her boss that it is rumored there is a "treasure" hidden somewhere in the house. She relays this information to her boyfriend who convinces her that they need…
Another stunning example of French New-Wave Horror!
Very steange, with good scares.
The first half of the film is wonderful, but it's lost when the narrative scrambles to keep things together. It has creepishly amazing visuals and near perfect set design. A decent follow up to their previous film, but the ending was a bit of a let down.
While not as memorable as Inside, a movie that sticks with you, Livid is a pretty solid (and vastly different) creepfest from the same team.
You need to be prepared for a drastic gear change to completely enjoy it, I think. Otherwise, it could be a little infuriating.
OK, but nothing on 'Inside', and the ending just gets bonkers.
Crazy French horror with some amazing set pieces.
The duo that brought us the fantastic Inside now tries to prove that they can also pull off subtle, slow-paced horror. Except they really, really don't. The story is very simple. A med student goes on a training job with a housenurse who visits the elderly at their homes. Eventually they come upon an old mansion and the nurse helpfully insinuates that the owner of the mansion, a woman in a coma and also it's only resident, has hidden a treasure there. The student gathers up her boyfriend and another friend and they break in in the night to find the treasure only to fall into an obvious trap of the paranormal. It honestly feels a lot like Livid may…

I Work For: Work, play and school
Wednesday 28 October 1998
I recognised Floella immediately from her Playschool days and, confronted by one of my childhood stars, I became so nervous that I couldn't stop giggling. Funnily enough, a lot of people - including high-flyers - have the same reaction. But once I had pulled myself together, Floella and I clicked, although she was quite tough and demanding during the interview - testing me to see if I would fall apart under pressure. I was employed that day and asked to start work the next.
Floella calls me her "right-hand woman" because I do everything from writing scripts to dressing up the children appearing on Jamboree, her TV show, and then playing the part of a peasant myself. I even wrote Floella's speech for Cambridge University Burns Night, comparing it with Playschool. On the night itself I was given the job of guarding Humpty and Jemima from kidnap while the students queued to have their pictures taken with their Playschool heroes.
Floella believes that children are the most important thing in the world, which is one of the reasons she works from home. I sometimes collect her son and daughter from school and bring them home. Alvina is nine and, just like her mum, knows exactly what she wants. Aston is a very grown- up 16-year-old, not at all like your average Harry Enfield teenager.
Floella's just so busy. She chairs the Woman of the Year Award as well as Bafta Children's Awards and Bafta Television. She also writes books, presents and produces a programme, and is involved in all kinds of charity work. I often have to calm her down, and she relies on her essential oils which she sniffs when things are stressful, whereas I'm a coffee, tea and chocolate person.
We share many views, although she's more conservative than I am, particularly when it comes to relationships. She doesn't believe in sex before marriage, and complains about the way some girls flaunt themselves on children's TV. She likes to give me advice, anything from how to keep young-looking to the importance of winning people's respect. I boss her around sometimes; I don't mean to but it just comes out, and it makes her laugh.
I often say mad things, but then so does she. She makes up words and phrases, such as "clippy-clippy machine", meaning stapler, and "the tappy- tappy", referring to the keyboard. She's hopeless with computers, but she's a very good employer and she looks after my needs.
I play rugby twice a week to unwind and the other day I came in to work with a black eye and Floella didn't want me to leave the house because it looked as if I had been fighting.
I've been here nearly a year and have become a jack of all trades, but my secret ambition is to present children's programmes myself.
I think it's sad that she gets so little recognition for all that she does. It's almost as if her work is taken for granted.
