Interns Win Huge Victory in Labor Lawsuit Against Fox
UPDATED: Fox says it is "very disappointed" after two interns who worked on "Black Swan" are granted a summary judgment win, while another intern who worked in Fox's corporate department will now be leading a class action suit.
In a ruling that is likely to be scrutinized throughout Hollywood -- and maybe corporate America at large -- a federal judge on Tuesday handed a couple of the interns suing Fox Searchlight a victory on summary judgment and also certified a class action over the internship programs of Fox Entertainment Group.
The lawsuit was first brought in late 2011 by two interns -- Alex Footman and Eric Glatt -- who both worked on Fox Searchlight's Black Swan and claimed that the company's unpaid internship program violated minimum wage and overtime laws.
The lawsuit then got bigger, with amended claims brought by added named plainitffs such as Kanene Gratts, who worked on Searchlight's 500 Days of Summer as well as Eden Antalik, who participated in the FEG internship program. To prevail, they would need to jump several hurdles, including showing that the training programs set up weren't for the advantage of the trainees.
On Tuesday, Federal Judge William Pauley issued a ruling that is very favorable to the suing interns.
Regarding Footman and Glatt, the judge grants summary judgment to them that Searchlight was their "employer," as that term is defined in the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Laws.
Fox attempted to convince Judge Pauley that the production companies -- like Lake of Tiers Inc. instead of Searchlight -- were responsible for hiring and controlling the interns, but the judge didn't buy it. Judge Pauley writes that "Searchlight's power to fire Black Swan production staff was unbridled," that "Searchlight closely supervised work on Black Swan," that "the crew of Black Swan was tied to Searchlight, not Lake of Tears," and so forth.
The judge also looked at whether the internship program qualified as a bona fide training program under the Labor Department's six criteria for determining whether an internship might be unpaid. These factors include whether the internship is similar to training that would be given in an educational environment, whether it is for the benefit of the intern, whether the intern displaces regular employees, whether the employer derives immediate advantage, whether the intern isn't necessarily entitled to a job after the conclusion of the internship, and the understanding about no entitlement to wages.

After going through the experiences of Footman and Glatt on Black Swan, here's what Judge Pauley concludes:
"Considering the totality of the circumstances, Glatt and Footman were classified improperly as unpaid interns and are 'employees' covered by the FLSA and NYLL. They worked as paid employees work, providing an immediate advantage to their employer and performed low-level tasks not requiring specialized training. The benefits they may have received -- such as the knowledge of how a production or accounting office functions or references for future jobs -- are the results of simply having worked as any other employee works, not of internships designed to be uniquely educational to the interns and of little utility to the employer. They received nothing approximating the education they would receive in an academic setting or vocational school. This is a far cry from [the Supreme Court's decision in] Walling, where trainees impeded the regular business of the employer, worked only in their own interest and provided no advantage to the employer. Glatt and Footman do not fall within the narrow 'trainee' exception to the FLSA's broad coverage."
Gratts, who completed a similar internship on (500) Days of Summer, was not as lucky. The judge grants the defendant's motion that her claims are time-barred.
But Judge Pauley's decision doesn't end there.
The federal judge in New York has certified a class action that will explore internships throughout the corporate departments at Fox Entertainment Group. Unlike a fellow judge who recently refused to certify a class action for some 3,000 fashion magazine interns working at Hearst, this judge sees commonality and the other factors that are required to move forward with such a class action.
Specifically, the judge rules "Antalik has identified several common questions relevant to determining NYLL violations, including: (1) whether Defendants derived an immediate advantage from interns' work, (2) whether interns displaced regular employees, and (3) whether FEG's internship program was for the benefit of interns."
The judge adds, "Here, the relatively small recoveries available to individual plaintiffs make a class action a more efficient mechanism."
The interns were represented by the law firm of Outten & Golden, which has now been appointed as class counsel.
Fox issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on the ruling:
"We are very disappointed with the court's rulings. We believe they are erroneous, and will seek to have them reversed by the 2nd Circuit as quickly as possible."

Become a Children's Minister: Step-by-Step Career Guide
Learn how to become a children's minister. Research education requirements, internships and the experience you will need to start a career in the field of children's ministry.
Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
Many positions in children's ministry require at least a bachelor's degree. Though requirements may vary between churches and denominations, many of these positions are not considered full ministers by the church. Generally, the position is much more in line with a director position under the administration of a minister. For that reason, a bachelor's degree with a focus in religion or children's ministry might be a strong choice for students looking to minister to children in church programs. For those majoring in religion, some schools offer minor concentrations in children's ministry.
Step 2: Develop Experience Working with Children
Directors of religious education may be paid positions, but they often have volunteers who work for them as teachers. Gaining experience in a teaching role will fulfill a possible job requirement of experience and might be accomplished concurrently with the bachelor's degree program. Additionally, students may seek an internship, serving in a church for educational credit while developing work skills, job recommendations and church contacts. Both of these approaches will assist students in becoming more marketable as religious educators and leaders of religious educators.
Step 3: Create a Teaching Philosophy
As much as any other teaching role, children's ministry requires preparation and a thorough understanding of educational and development theory. Applying these theories to church doctrines allow religious educators to not only communicate information, but do so in exciting and age-appropriate ways. Continuing education on a personal level may not only be fulfilling, but may allow the religious educator to synthesize a coherent teaching philosophy in harmony with the teachings of the church.
Step 4: Complete a Possible Master of Divinity Program
As with any other religious role, career growth and education sometimes go hand-in-hand. Continuing education beyond the bachelor's degree level may be necessary in order to grow from the role of director of religious education into a full ministerial role, complete with ordination.
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment during the 2012-2022 decade for clergy members will grow 10%, and jobs for religious activities and education directors will expand 8%. In 2013, the BLS reported an annual median salary of $43,800 for members of the clergy and $38,160 for those employed as religious activities and education directors.

Wall Street Webcasting Presents Wells Fargo Securities: Market Dislocations Have Created Multiple Opportunities For Investors
Wall Street Webcasting presents exclusive video of Rich Gordon, the highly regarded Fixed Income Market Strategist of Wells Fargo Securities (NYSE: WFC). This week, Gordon discusses the dislocation and repricing of fixed income assets and how that has create opportunities for investors.
Gordon takes a look at the MUNI cross-over trade versus investment grade corporates and how the MUNIs have been hard hit over the last two months. He believe that the underperformance can be traced to the "fragile psyche and lack of discipline" of the retail investors, who seem to make up much of this sector.
Next, Gordon looks at the shorting yield volatility and how volatility shorts have not worked, at all, since May. He doesn't recall "a similar uptick in Vol without the Fed beginning a rate tighten cycle or somehow blindsiding investors in the middle of one."
Lastly, higher beta trades should out preform in the next few weeks, according to Gordon. He dissects the Fixed Income Markets and the spread sector performance, as well as spread widening, which "wasn't caused by a fundamental detrition in the underlying credits."

Each year about 350 St. Mary's College of Maryland students venture out across the seas to study at a foreign university.
They take courses, visit interesting sites, speak with locals and generally soak up the culture over a few weeks to a semester in a way that often changes their lives.
Naomi Garcia of Baltimore said she chose to study abroad for two semesters. Last fall she attended school in France and followed up with a trip to Argentina during the spring semester.
Garcia, who helped at a study-abroad fair on campus Wednesday, said her experiences overseas were invaluable.
"You're part of a university," she said. And while the classes she took were great, it was interacting with people and the places she lived that proved special, Garcia said.
She said a lot of students at the fair asked her about the types of culture they would be exposed to, including music. Garcia said she took her guitar with her to Argentina and was able to meet people that way.
"I did a lot of street playing, which was a really cool experience," the senior said.
She said the experience did change her personality, making her more ready to take on challenges in life.
"It changes you as a person, in a really good way," Garcia said.
Mandy Reinig, director of international education, said about 55 percent of students graduating from St. Mary's College participate in one of the college's 17 study abroad programs. Several students each year will participate in a program not directly affiliated with St. Mary's College.
Students piled into a meeting room Wednesday to get information about the various opportunities to study abroad.
While past sessions were popular, the number of students was overwhelming compared to previous years, Reinig said. "They were waiting at the door this time," she said. Popular countries to visit lately include Australia, England and the college's newest program that sends students to Ireland for a semester. The Ireland program is open to all majors, including the sciences, which sometimes have limited choices of where to study abroad, Reinig said.
Tom Howard was on hand to promote the partnership with James Cook University in Australia. He said the university, which is located near the Great Barrier Reef, is an instant draw for many students. "St. Mary's does it well," he said of the college's international studies program.
College staff present opportunities, but are not pushy in what students choose to do, he said. "They seem to self-select in different programs," based on prior interests, Howard said.
Sophomore Carson Fehner from Montgomery County said he was interested in the Oxford University program in England. He will probably go there next fall semester, although he is thinking about a few other programs in Europe. The history major said both of his older siblings who graduated recently from St. Mary's also went to the Oxford program.
The Promoting Educational and Cultural Exchange, or PEACE, program with The University of The Gambia is another popular choice for St. Mary's College students. Baboucarr Jallow from Gambia was on hand Wednesday as part of a visit to the United States and to promote the study abroad experience.
Traditionally students would chose to study abroad during their junior year of college. "Now, we're trying to get them to go a little bit earlier," Reinig said.
Class requirements are usually less strict as sophomores, she said. And they can draw on the study abroad experience for a longer time while at college.
The pricing structure depends on the program, she said. Sometimes, students pay their regular tuition, room and board for some programs and most everything else is covered. For other programs they may pay room or board, or neither, to the college and then cover their own expenses while abroad, Reinig said.
In all cases students have to pay for air fare, but there are scholarships available from the college to help cover that cost. Other opportunities include studying in China, Japan, Costa Rica, India, Peru, Italy, Thailand, Belize, Spain and France.

AFBF Collegiate Discussion Meet
The Collegiate Discussion Meet contest is designed to simulate a committee meeting where discussion and active participation are expected from each college-age participant. This competition is evaluated on an exchange of ideas and information on a pre-determined topic. Participants build basic discussion skills, develop a keen understanding of important agricultural issues and explore how groups can pool knowledge to reach consensus and solve problems. Successful participants are productive thinkers rather than emotional persuaders and assist the group in creating ways to implement the solutions discussed and highlight Farm Bureau's involvement in those actions/steps.

To all, hopefully everyone had an excellent mean and numbers in the low 100's :D
After the reset the G4 has been working steady again all night, no drop offs and within 5 points of my meters. Will have to see what I can do about shower time, as I am loathe to give up steaming hot showers! Still, going into day 4 and I've yet to have numbers this good over a stretch. Even with dinner (and pie!) I was able to stay under 160 all day. I big you all a good night at 127 :p

On Oct. 21, Nevada experienced a school shooting incident. It made the national news and all of the television pundits talked on and on about it all day. By next week, it will be forgotten until the next school shooting happens in another state.
Congress needs to get off its duff and do something about these school shootings across America. This is a huge problem. Can you imagine how parents must feel these days sending their children off to school each morning secretly worrying about them? How about the kids themselves? I bet many students these days are afraid to go to school. So what can Congress ...

Has anyone succumbed to their weakness and bought this? If so, your thoughts on it? Minibrew 6.5 gallon Conical Fermenter - eBay (item 190295640992 end time Mar-29-09 11:05:18 PDT)
My LHBS had 2 of these in stock last week, they looked pretty nice, not enough to justify the 200 sum he wanted for them but pretty handy. As of this week they are both gone, so someone wanted them.
Primary : Honeybuns Weizen, Ode to Arthur(with partial sour) Secondary: Bottled: Cream of Three Crops, Hazed and Infused Clone Planned: A green chile beer, I live in New Mexico gotta have the green chile beer.
I have on of them. I did 14 batches in it so far. If you want conical and you do not want to spend money for stainless, then this is a fine pick. By the way no need to go to e-bay. You can fin it also in here:MiniBrew Fermenter - 6.5 - Conical Fermenters - High Gravity I bought mine from here.http://brewcitysupplies.com/
Na Zdravie On Tap: AltBier Bohemian Dark Beer Lagering/Conditioning: Bohemian Pilsner In Fermenter: Bohemian Pilsner
That's great to hear TMonk. I'm gonna let this thread go for another full day just in case I get a "NOOOO don't do that!", but inevitably, I'm going to buy this tonight.
I've done about 10 batches in mine. VERY easy to clean and maintain. The only thing that I'd change on this is the aluminum stand. It's rather flimsy when you get the full weight of 5 gallons in it. The rubber lid can be very finicky at times depending on the temperature. Some times it is so tight that it is difficult to stretch over the lip of the top, other times it fits loosely enough that I use a zip-tie to hold it in place. Overall it is a very nice set-up. Beers, Ken
"Never mind Doc, he's drunk." - Wyatt Earp "Nonsense, I've not yet begun to defile myself." - Doc Holliday
I'm just curious... what's the benefit of a conical over a normal fermenter? My bucket costs $10, compared to $160 for that conical. What difference does the $150 make besides being more cool brew gear?
Fermenting, aging, kegged, bottled, drinking, etc... Who's got time to keep their sig updated? The answer to all is: something (hopefully good). Go White Sox! http://www.sox35th.com/
I have the 15 gallon and I am pretty happy with it. There are a few issues but those are easily mitigated and do not apply to the 6.5 gallon version. I wish that the ports were 2" rather than 1/2" but that is me. Also, you will need to completely disassemble the device every time you use it. This includes taking all the valves off and cleaning the threads. The best reason for a conical is that you don't need to rack the beer because you can dump the trub and yeast from the bottom valve. What I do is set my freezer to 15 degrees F, pump the chilled wort though my CFC to get it down to 60F, then into the super cold conical. Then I set the freezer to my pitching temp. This causes the cold break to settle out in a few hours, pretty tightly I might add. Then I dump all that crap through the bottom and pitch my yeast. You would have trouble with this since you don't have a lot of extra space to allow the dumps. Also, with pressure capable conicals (not this one) you can actually carbonate and bottle directly from the conical.
It's funny I searched for this pretty hard on the forum and couldn't find anything, but I see 5 threads of what I'm looking for linked on the bottom -under the thread. I'm ordering this right now. I'm pretty stoked.

Metal Gear Scanlon 3: Part 03
Become Premium to Watch
There's a word for games like The Order: 1886. Rental.
Ten years later, this frustrating follow-up to Canvas Curse feels shallow and soulless by comparison.
The chaos and fun of Saints Row is fully intact in the underworld, but a new setting can only go so far.
Character »
Col. Roy Campbell is introduced in Metal Gear 2 as the new commanding officer of FOXHOUND. He serves as Snake's primary radio contact in the game and gives information about his mission objectives and general gameplay tips.
The brainy character from the Metal Gear Solid series, Hal "Otacon" Emmerich is one of Snake's closest friends. The nickname Otacon comes from his fascination with the Japanese Sub-Culture known as 'Otaku.'
Peter Stillman is a member of the militaries Bomb Squad sent in with SEAL Team 10 to defuse Fatmans traps on the Big Shell.
Raiden is one of the main characters in the Metal Gear series. He has gone from an Army XXI grunt, to a soldier whose abilities rival the legendary Solid Snake, to a cyborg ninja with superhuman capabilities.
Solid Snake is the main protagonist in a number of the Metal Gear games. An expert in infiltration and espionage, Snake has completed countless missions and is repeatedly tasked with disarming the latest incarnation of Metal Gear. He is voiced by David Hayter in the English versions, Akio Ohtsuka in Japanese.

Flux won't fit?
Hey guys I won a pair of Flux's online and just fixed up my Burton Seven and was hoping to mount them to it but when i put the discs on i cant figure out any way to position them so that the holes match. The board has the old burton funky style holes. The most i can get is two screws in at a time. See the pictures below and tell me what you think i should do so i can mount these. Hopefully i am just being stupid and not realizing how these are supposed to match up

otherwise try a local shop and see if they have a spare set they can sell you. Should only be a few bucks. Why can't Burton just be like everyone....I ran into this on my boys Blunt and SE 30's

I purchased this rug in a smaller version a month previously and have some issues with the fur balls from the wool. This rug is so pretty that I will tolerate the need to clean my hardwood floors frequently. My dogs also make the wool shed a little faster. I have had this rug several weeks and it has not started shedding, hopefully less because my dogs do not usually go into my basement family room. The rug is beautiful in my family room with my chocolate brown furniture.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? colors were a match
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality dense wool rug.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Rug is as described
I was surprised at how dull the colors were, compared with the photos on the website. Seriously, it is several shades off -- the yellow is a pale "duckling" yellow, which gives the tone for the entire rug. I was expecting the darker colors to really pop, but they just sink right into the pale hues. I don't think that I can afford to send it back (the rug weighs 52 pounds), so it will have to work for me. The rug is thick and looks well made. I had ordered an underlay for it, thinking that the back might abrade my wood floor -- but the back is quite soft and tightly woven, so I will be sending the rug pad back.

Ex-soldiers don't need to be told they're a burden to society Well here is a peak at the Obamacare future: Jim Towey: The Death Book for Veterans - WSJ.com Disgracefule doing this to Vets who have served their country. Instead of Saving private Ryan we see talking Private Ryan into assisted suicide...
Oh crap, just when I thought this nonsense was over, here we go again... Did some quick research on Mr. Towey, author of the article (link). OK, so I already smell a rat. We know this man has an agenda. And then I found another article he wrote (link); OK, so now we also see he worships the ground Bush walked on. Mr. Towey makes a big deal out of a particular questionnaire contained in a workbook that Dr. Robert Pearlman put together to assist veterans who face end-of-life illness: Guilt-inducing? Oh please! Should we pretend that our veterans never face such self doubt in their lives? Should we just sweep it under the rug when it does come up? This prompted me to read more of the workbook myself... First off, this questionnaire appears in a section entitled "Thought-provoking exercises." Gee, wonder if that's what made Mr. Towey think to use the word provocatively in the above quote. The workbook itself claims that its intent is to be provacative. How clever of Mr. Towey not to mention that. Kind of like Chuckie forgetting to include the word "voluntary" in his blog about how the bills says parental rights will be upsurped by the government. Second off, I did a search on the workbook and found only two references to suicide, both on page 51 in a Q&A section called "Legal and ethical issues of advance care planning". One is neutral and the other is dissuasive: Now, I don't know much detail about Dr. Pearlman involvement with assisted suicide, but it's quite apparent to me that he held this all in check when he put together the workbook. My conclusion: this is just attempt from the right to try to get more mileage out of the ridiculous death panel idea and generate further hysteria in the continued effort to minimize any reasonable discourse on the UHC bill debate.
Mr Pearlman argued for Assisted suicide before the Supreme Court, so gald to clear up your ignorance on Mr Pearlman's background. On the Fox news sunday show, Sen Specter is promising hearings and Sec Duckworth was backpedaling like crazy. So apparently a nerve was hit. BTW there were links to the hemlock society in the back of the pamphlet, there was an article linked here about suicide among soldiers, should a booklet by assisted suicide advocated be given to veterans? There is pressure for rationing care is coming on all sides. The thrust of the government is clear. The government has a vested interest in 'lowering cost' people deciding to die helps the government 'reduce costs'. The government should not advocate end of life issues since they have a clear conflict of interest.
Now whos ignorant......Agent 13 Godef? I think not. You should be embarressed for even implying that death panels could exist. Not even Palin still runs with this ludicrous BS.
Irrelevent. In the workbook, he did not advocate or even suggest assisted suicide except in the Q&A section. And from those comments, he appears to be very knowledgable about the scope of assisted suicide, and yet chooses not to advocate it: On the Fox news sunday show, Sen Specter is promising hearings and Sec Duckworth was backpedaling like crazy. So apparently a nerve was hit. Really?!? Are you talking about the "Your Life Your Choices" workbook I gave you a link to? Because I can't find it. And I betcha most veterens would not even realize that one of its authors advocated assisted suicide, not until the blowhards of the world alerted them, as there is nothing in the workbook that would suggest this. Aaah, right back to the core issue. "Advocate end of life issues" is a non-sensical phrase, though your post had several so I'll give you BOD. How do you "advocate" an issue? Do you mean for or against? But regardless, the simple fact exists that nowhere does the government propose or even suggest advocating for the right of someone to end their life. Go ahead, prove me wrong. As I have already said in this thread, this is nothing but anti-UHC bluster.
So let me get this straight, a right wing nut who doesn't "believe" in evolution is accusing Obama of bringing back a book for Vets that's meant to help with end of life issues, previously thrown out I presume as part of Bush's incessant pandering to fundamentalist buffoons. And the "evil" of this is that the same author advocates a patients right to physician assisted suicide? And instead of this being a clear cut civil rights issue, to you nutjobs, this is what, Obama's secret plan to wipe out veterans? Why the fvck is this country half full of borderline psychotic dumbasses like the OP? This is why nobody wants to respond to you children on this issue, you are incapable of adult conversation. The OP didn't even read or familiarize himself with the actual book in question, and you expect to be taken seriously?
Where did I reference a death panel in this thread? I did note a booklet written by an advocate of assisted suicide that is being pushed on veterans by order of the Obama administration. Pathetic attempt at creating a strawman, par for the course for you.
There is a bias towards not exposing your family and society to financial burdern. The have vunerable people question and doubt the value of their life. Callous and disgusting. Looking on the bright side perhaps it should have been recommended to Sen Kennedy, Byrd, Dodd and Specter all elderly who have run up enormous medical bills for their treatment, than the administration would perfer to see other forego, sotra like algore telling us to curtail our energy use while he ruses vast amount of energy. Not a fan of Specter BYW, however he as a cowardly politican can see what a terrible issue this is for the socialist health plan. We are all supposed to ignore the fact that health care is rationed in countires with single payer systems like the one this approach by the dems will lead to. Perhaps some are stupid enough to believe this crap being spewed by the administration, most of us aren't that gulliable.
Please point out in the workbook what you find objectionable, then come back and tell us. You have totally misrepresented its contents. If there is any stupidity involved, it's the crap that's all coming from you. You are the one who's gullible, and you showed it when you created this thread to start with. Please stay off the kool-aid.
No need to, the fact is that in both the Obama socialized health care plan and this inititave being pushed by the administration the authors and 'experts' are advocates are people who have supported assisted suicide and Rationing Healthcare. Unlike you I don't have blind faith in government officals. Read the original link in the WSJ article, I am not your gofer. The Obama administration is lying about the results of their plan. Thay want power over your healthcare decisions, I don't want any power over your healthcare, who has the agenda and the motivation to mislead???? I want to the government to leave me and my family alone, if you want to be a sheep and ward of the state that is your problem. Don't ask me to cooperate.
Now that was a lame response. I already read the article, and as I pointed out, Twoey worships Bush and thus his interpretation of the workbook is not credible. But rather than rely on someone else's interpretation, you think you could build one of your own? You have no idea whether Obama has lied about this, and whether the government's agenda and motivation is to mislead. You're just regurgitating somebody else's kool-aid. And you're too lazy to actually check the workbook for yourself to see if any of it is actually true. To say they want over your healthcare is just plain idiotic. It's up to you to back your claim.
I don't want to rely on the opinions of umelected bureaucrats when it comes to my family's health care. You can't refute the credentials of the author of this so attack the person who points out the bias towards rationing care and advising people to decide that life isn't worth living.
Your lack of knowledge of the Justice System is showing once again, as Pearlman did not testify to anything.. he signed onto an Amicus Curiea brief in the Vacco Vs. Quill case... but if Towey said he testified, then it is ok to be a lemming. FYI Doctors present testimony in these type of cases, they do not argue them unless they are also admitted to the bar.. in this case Pearlman signed this Amicus Curiea Brief (friend of the court) Brief of Amicus Curiae Bioethicists Supporting Respondents FYI if I am terminal, I want to know my choices so as not to prolong my own suffering and my family's...
As I said Mr Pearlman advocated for assisted suicide before the supreme court. Spin away dem party boy.
Here is what you said.... The lemming crew will be so proud of you for continuing to spread the lies and half truths... you spin so many half truths, difficult to discern between fact and fiction.. what you said, and what you claimed to have said.

LoginCritic Reviews for Age of the Dragons
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (10)
Watch the opening sequence, skip everything that else that follows.
Herman Melville's Moby-Dick gets a landlocked remix courtesy of ill-conceived action-adventure Age of the Dragons.
Might have worked in the hands of Roger Corman and John Sayles.
Like a harpoon in the side of Herman Melville's great novel, this low budget fantasy yarn is more drag than dragon.
There is some truth in advertising - Age Of The Dragons does drag on for an age.
Dreadful Moby Dick adaptation that squanders its perfectly decent set-up and is further let down by a terrible script, atrocious acting, poor action sequences and some extremely dodgy special effects.
Sadly, any car-crash appeal is undercut by the cardinal B-movie sin: dullness.
Entirely forgettable and somewhat unhealthy, lingering on the palate like an impulsive, Friday-night kebab.
When the dystopian future envisioned in Blade Runner finally comes to fruition, Age of the Dragons will be used to distinguish humans from replicants, because if you're not in teary despair by the film's end, you probably aren't human.
Fans of How to Train Your Dragon will certainly be disappointed, much like everyone else.
As the actors ham it up, we're surprised how involved we get in their increasingly ridiculous story.
Audience Reviews for Age of the Dragons
Reworking of classic novel 'Moby Dick' but this time using dragons as the game or hunt as it were. To be honest this is a really neat little idea, the only problem is its been made poorly which is a shame.
I think this could of worked had a little more time and money been invested, the cast are OK I guess...for an action type film. Danny Glover is a little miscast as Ahab perhaps but Vinnie Jones does surprisingly well as does the hero Sevier as Ishmael. Nothing to rave about of course but the cheesiness of it all suits them fine and you know to expect ham.
Of course the effects are slightly off-key, CGI is average but shows promise, even the use of old stop motion techniques used by Harryhausen are utilised at one point which almost works (oddly it looked better in the old mythology films of Harryhausen). Then you do have silly things which needed more planning such as the Pequod as a wheeled land tank/ship thingy. This didn't really work as it was way too small looking, it was like the Tardis, small on the outside yet apparently huge on the inside with about eight adults living in it with lots of quarters shown! plus how did it run? petrol? diesel? someone pedaling below?
I must also mention my dislike of virtually everyone in action films these days being some kind of martial arts expert and able to defeat multiple enemies without breaking sweat. It really is so over used and in this film its so out of place, what's wrong with some good old fashioned fisticuffs?
A nice idea but the execution is weak, worth checking out if you like dragon flicks though...I guess, not much else going for it.
Super Reviewer
So they take Ahab's obsession for the white whale and sci-fi spin it to a hunt for a great white dragon. Freudian ruminations aside, and altho this is a poorly budgeted knock off, elements of fun exist in Glover's decision to go for Ahab full on ... has to be seen to be believed.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Straight-to-DVD and with good reason. A watchable, but horribly conceived fantasy feature. The only reason I saw this is because I'm such a sucker for stories about dragons. Otherwise I would have skipped it right off the bat. And now in the aftermath, I really regret that I didn't. Lousy acting and special effects, and the narration is some of the worst I've ever heard. Clearly, whoever voiced this mess just wanted to get it over with so he could collect his paycheck (can't say I blame him though). And as for Danny Glover, he should have kept what little dignity he had left and gone into retirement after Lethal Weapon 4. Because seeing him like this is just sad. Or as Sergeant Murtaugh would say it: "I'm getting too old for this shit!"
MoreSuper Reviewer
This is one very boring dragon movie. Even the end disappoints because of the lack of imagination by the director. Age of the Dragons should have had more dragons...there's more conflicts between the characters in the film than battle between them and the dragons.
Age of the Dragons is a re-imagining of Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick. Set in a mythical realm where Captain Ahab and crew hunt dragons for the vitriol that powers their world, Ishmael, a charismatic harpooner joins their quest. Ahab's adopted daughter Rachel, beautiful and tough, runs the hunting vessel. Ahab's obsession is to seek revenge on a great "White Dragon" that slaughtered his family when he was young and left his body scarred and mauled, drives the crew deeper into the heart of darkness. In the White Dragon's lair Ahab's secrets are revealed and Rachel must choose between following him on his dark quest or escaping to a new life with Ishmael.

By Julia Michalska. Web onlyPublished online: 03 August 2012
Conservators in Germany have joined the protest over plans to relocate the world-famous collection of Old Masters in Berlin's Gemäldegalerie. Under the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz's (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) plan, the estimated 3,000 works will move into the much smaller Bode Museum to make way for modern art including the collection of Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch. Any Old Master that cannot be displayed in the smaller space will go into storage for an estimated six years until a new space is found for the collection on the capital's Museum Island.
The move, which was announced at the beginning of July, poses a "significant conservation risk", said a statement released by the Bonn-based Verband der Restauratoren (Association of Restorers) on 19 July. The association, which has around 2,500 members, argues that the Pietzsch collection should move into the Gemäldegalerie only when a suitable location has been found to accommodate the Old Masters. "Only then can transport be reduced and the possibility that large parts of the collection will disappear into stores for years be avoided," the statement said. "Any handling, packaging and transportation—even within the building—means mechanical stress and climatic changes to the works, which weakens their substance."Around 12,000 people, including Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia, have signed a petition against emptying the Gemäldegalerie of its Old Masters. The petition was set up by Jeffrey Hamburger, an art historian at Harvard University. Earlier, the Verband Deutscher Kunsthistoriker (Association of German Art Historians) wrote an open letter to Germany's minister of culture, Bernd Neumann, protesting "vehemently" against the plans. But the Bundestag has already made €10m available for the renovation of the Gemäldegalerie, setting the wheels in motion for the move.The Berlin-based collectors Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch have donated 150 works of art, valued at €120m. But their gift was made on the condition that the works by artists including Magritte, Pollock and Ernst will eventually be on permanent display.Heiner Pietzsch, an industrialist, has hinted to the German media that should the deal collapse, their heirs would have a lot of art to sell.

Please dont do that, i give you a big warehouse to put that modern garbage, let the classical art intact.

That the alte meisters should be removed to make way for the neue meisters is a step towards supporting ignorance of European cultural history. It is a tragedy. A place for the modern works should be found elsewhere.

To follow up my previous comment - if its not the family demanding the removal of the present collection to show their gift & its not the curators - who is ?
Whilst I fully understand the wishes of the Pietzsch family that their donation should be on view (too many museums hide donations), to force a major museum to store much of its original collection just to gratify their egos, sorry, their terms & conditions in the immediate future is disgusting. Find an old town house or build a new museum & then it can be on permanent view without disrupting anyone & then both collections can be admired equally. If the family don't want to give the buildings, encourage a sponsor to ....

Hello, my name is Maddie (Mad for short). I have been roleplaying for 7 years now and right now I am currently looking for a roleplay partner that wouldn't mind late responses during the week. I will of course be able to respond on the weekends quicker if I don't have anything keeping me back, being the internet addict I am, I am sure that is not a problem. I have a bad habit of procrastinating, even when it comes to a roleplay I am enjoying. So sometimes I will be using my tablet instead of responding, but I promise to respond to you in 3 days or less. I know it sounds like a long time, but in reality that isn't very much due to the activities during the day… Anyways, less about life and more about style!
I like to use first and third person to write, usually I choose depending on who I am roleplaying with. Usually I tend to go more towards the romance/action/horror/sci-fi/Fiction type roleplays. Just a heads up, I AM A STRANGE HUMAN BEING. I fall for characters people usually wouldn't fall for and tend to pair my characters with ones I adore… Besides, even the worst person in the world can find love sooner or later. Doesn't mean it will change them, but it is fucking adorable. (uvu) In short; I reply in paragraphs, Romance is a need thing (since I feel like any rp with no romance is a little dry) , I am weird, I am a perv , and I am a complete nerd. Btw! I know this will catch peoples attention, soooo~ : I am a digital artist, if the roleplay interests me enough, I WILL DRAW SHIT FROM IT FOR FREE. (Promise)
Genres I will do:
Basically anything if it is interesting
What I am looking for in a rp partner :
I need a roleplay partner who doesn't only want to roleplay, but wants to make a friend as well.
You need to reply with at least a paragraph, I like to read responses that drip with creativity.
I would like someone I can fangirl/fanboy with over our own pairings, I absolutely love having a little inside fan club…
Don't just fall off the face of the earth, I WORRY TOO MUCH.
Smut: I will do smut only if the characters in the roleplay have a background together. I dont want a porno, I want a story.
Gore: I fucking love gore, go as far as you want you little sick bastard you, I will enjoy every word of it.
Fetishes: I understand people and characters have fetishes. Rape is bad, I will not be allowing any scenes to be in detail about it unless… It is part of a dramatic backstory of a character.
Have fun: people say this a lot and over use it, but i'm serious with this, I WANNA HAVE FUN TOO.
What I am looking for currently: Cannon x OCs ( I will split or double if you wish to. ((Meaning If you play a character I want, I will play a character you want.))) I am also craving a horror romance comedy… Just sayin'.
Exceptions: If you have a good original story you would like to start with me, I will be happy to go along with it. If it does not catch my interest, then I am afraid I will not do so.
Looking for: (separated by category, all involve some sort of romance. ((The ones in ::example:: are things I really, really want to do.)
Horror: (Basically old slasher movies x OC)
:::::::Nightmare on elm street x OC::::::: ((Yes I am a Freddy fangirl, sorry not sorry)
