'Locke & Key's' Gabriel Rodriguez signs exclusive deal with IDW
Gabriel Rodriguez, the Eisner-nominated artist of Locke & Key, has signed an exclusive contract with IDW Publishing, the company announced over the weekend at WonderCon Anaheim.
Since making his comics debut in 2003 with IDW's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the artist has gone on to draw more than 2,000 pages and covers for the publisher on titles ranging from Angel to Land of the Dead to Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show. However, Rodriguez is best known for his lengthy collaboration with author Joe Hill on the bestselling horror series Locke & Key.
"I'm deeply honored to start this new journey with my long term friends and partners from IDW Publishing. I'm excited, thrilled and thankful," he said in a statement. "This is not only a major step in my professional career — over time, Ted Adams, Chris Ryall and everyone from the IDW team have become close friends of mine, making me feel part of a family. It's both amazing and challenging to start this new stage in our creative collaborations, sharing a common vision: passion for art and comics, deep love for storytelling, high standards in personal and professional relationships. I hope to be able to give my very best in projects to come, and the few things we've already discussed hinted a path of amazing possibilities! It's somehow overwhelming, it can't get better than this."
Rodriguez's next IDW project is Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland, a collaboration with Eric Shanower announced last year at Comic-Con International. The eight-issue miniseries is scheduled to debut in August; an eight-page ashcan was distributed over the weekend at WonderCon.
WonderCon | 'X-Files: Year Zero' reveals origin of X-Files unit
Karl Kesel, Vic Malhotra and Greg Scott are teaming up to tell the secret origins of the X-Files. The X-Files: Year Zero, a five-issue miniseries debuting in July, will see Agents Scully and Mulder tackling a mystery that dates back to the 1940s and the beginning of the FBI's X-Files unit.
"The origins of the X-Files unit of the FBI were only hinted at in the TV show, and we're proud to present the story of how the precursors of our favorite paranormal agents established the division in the late 1940s," said editor Denton J. Tipton in a press release. "I think Bing and Millie will become fan-favorites alongside Mulder, Scully, Reyes and Doggett."
Liefeld, Piskor recruited for 'Transformers vs. G.I. Joe' covers
While looking for some art earlier I can across something cool — artist Tom Scioli, who is hard at work on IDW's Transformers vs. G.I. Joe comic, posted some alternate covers for the project from Rob Liefeld (Youngblood) and Ed Piskor (Hip Hop Family Tree) on his Tumblr.
"I can't believe they're letting us do this," John Barber, who is writing the project, said yesterday at WonderCon. "It's coming from a real pure place. The storytelling is crazy innovative, pure sci-fi, army cosmic clash between Earth and alien invaders. The Free Comic Book Day story on May 3, the Joes are engaging in a final showdown with Cobra and that's right when Starscream shows up pursuing Bumblebee, that's when things get out of hand. It's so much fun. I've been a fan of Joes and Transformers since I was able to read."
Check them out below. The comic kicks off this summer.
WonderCon | 'Doberman' takes a bite out of crime in July
Darby Pop, Jeff Kline's comic imprint that's distributed by IDW, announced today plans to publish Doberman, the story of a former bad-boy cop who rejoins the force in a quest for vengeance.
"From the minds" of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Unsupervised producers Rob Rosell and Scott Marder, with writer Jack Lambert and artist Brandon McKinney, the humorous comic will make its debut this July.
"Doberman is the tale of a roundhouse-kicking, beer-shotgunning, Dodge Stealth-driving badass with a badge, shamed into years of personal exile. But, now he's back, with only one thing on his mind — revenge!" Lambert said in a press release. "Simply put, if Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, and Jean-Claude Van Damme had a child, Frank Doberano (aka Doberman) would be that bastard's name."
Check out the full cover by Bernard Chang below.
That time Evan Dorkin almost wrote 'Popeye Vs. Mars Attacks'
Last year IDW Publishing released an amazing series of one-off crossovers featuring Mars Attacks and different titles in its line. It covered a lot of ground and showed some unusual and fun pairings, but one we never got to see was Evan Dorkin's Popeye Vs. Mars Attacks.
He relates in a blog post a situation where, in the span of a few hours, he was offered to write the book, pitched to IDW despite initial reluctance, got his pitch accepted, and then opted out. Although the 2013 one-shot was ultimately written by Martin Powell and illustrated by Terry Beatty, it's interesting to read Dorkin's ill-fated pitch and his summary of events behind the scenes.
True story: Tom Beland brings 'Chicacabra' to IDW
Tom Beland, creator of the multiple Eisner-nominated True Story, Swear to God, ventures down a supernatural path in June with the debut of his new graphic novel series Chicacabra, from IDW Publishing.
The story focuses on Isabel Sanchez, a Puerto Rican high school student who, following a family tragedy and a mysterious incident, "finds herself with a monster capable of great brutality living inside her. But is it her friend or foe?"
IDW expands search for the truth with 'X-Files' board game
IDW Games, which has already announced big-box games based on 30 Days of Night and Kill Shakespeare, will expand its lineup in July with the release of The X-Files.
Designed by Kevin Wilson (Arkham Horror), with art direction and box art by menton3 (The X-Files: Season 10) the board game will draw heavily from the first three season of Chris Carter's television series.
According to a press release, it's designed for a playtime of between 60 and 90 minutes, with two to five players facing off against another, who will control the Smoking Man and the nefarious Syndicate.
IDW Publishing, which publishes The X-Files: Season 10, a canonical continuation of the television series "executive produced" by Carter, formed IDW Games in October through a partnership with Pandasaurus Games.
"To me, there's no more exciting title than The X-Files," Jerry Bennington, IDW's director of new business, said in a statement. "Who wouldn't want the chance to play as the wise-cracking Fox Mulder or the incredibly intelligent Dana Scully? And what show created more classic villains than The X-Files?"
Comics A.M. | 'Stroker McGurk' creator Tom Medley passes away
Passings | Tom Medley, creator of the comic Stroker McGurk, which ran in Hot Rod magazine for many years, died on March 2 at the age of 93. Medley was a hot-rodder himself, which is how he got his big break: He used to post his cartoons at a local hot-rod builder, and the publisher of Hot Rod, which was just getting off the ground at the time, spotted them and hired Medley as his comics and humor editor. Medley's son Gary said his father's humor sometimes foreshadowed reality: "Stroker's — or Medley's — inspired genius came up with a host of crazy ideas that appeared impractical at first, but were later adopted by everyday car builders and racers. Multi-engine dragsters, wheelie bars, and drag chutes all sprung from Stroker's fertile mind before they were embraced in the real world." [AutoWeek]
'Kill Shakespeare' sets sail again with 'The Mask of Night'
IDW Publishing has announced the return of Kill Shakespeare in June with The Mask of Night, a four-issue pirate adventure from series creators Anthony Del Col, Conor McCreery and Andy Belanger.
Debuting in April 2010, Kill Shakespeare is an epic adventure in which Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, Falstaff, Romeo and Puck search for William Shakespeare, a reclusive wizard believed to have the ability to help them in their fight against evil forces led by Richard III, Lady Macbeth and Iago.
The initial 12-issue miniseries inspired a 2013 sequel, The Tide of Blood, and a Kickstarter-funded board game, which is scheduled to arrive in May.
In The Mask of Night, Hamlet, Juliet, Othello and Shakespeare become pawns in a game of survival between the masked pirate Captain Cesario, his first mate Viola and Titus Adronicus' warship the Lavinia.
"Not only does it include characters from our previous books but [it] incorporates one of Shakespeare's most famous heroines, Viola, who we have refashioned into one of the coolest female pirates ever," Del Col said in a statement. "I think fans — both new and old — are going to find this homage to classic pirate tales a real treat."As the cast of characters ties in to the board game, IDW Games is offering all four issues of The Mask of Knight to anyone who backs the Kickstarter campaign at the game level.
IDW to adapt Harlan Ellison's classic 'Star Trek' script
Harlan Ellison's original teleplay for the acclaimed 1967 Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever," which was rewritten before filming began, will be adapted in a miniseries debuting in June from IDW Publishing.
"Presenting Harlan Ellison's brilliant original script for 'City on the Edge…' has been a goal of ours since IDW first began publishing Star Trek comics in 2007," IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall said in a statement. "The episode justifies its position atop 'best Star Trek episodes' lists but even it ain't nuthin' compared to what Ellison did in his original teleplay. This is truly going to be a Star Trek adventure unlike any other, even to fans who have that beloved episode memorized."
The five-issue Star Trek: Harlan Ellison's City on the Edge of Forever: The Original Teleplay is adapted by writers Scott Tipton and David Tipton and artist J.K. Woodward, with regular covers by Juan Ortiz and variants by Paul Shipper.
"The City on the Edge of Forever" follows Kirk and Spock as the pursue a temporarily delusional McCoy through an ancient time portal, where they end up in 1930s New York City. There they must not only rescue their friend but save their own future, which has been changed by McCoy's actions in the past. The episode won the 1968 Hugo Award for best dramatic presentation.
"It was a superlative joy of my long life to have worked with Leonard Nimoy, who became my friend, and many others at Star Trek," Ellison said, "and an equally heart-happy joy to be working with J.K. and the Tipton Bros. and Chris Ryall on this long-awaited visual of my (humbly, I say it) brilliant original 'City…'"
IDW Games and Pandasaurus expand partnership
IDW Publishing, which just last week launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the Kill Shakespeare board game, is expanding its partnership with Pandasaurus.
The publisher teamed in October with the Austin, Texas-based tabletop gaming company to launch IDW Games, with Pandasaurus overseeing design, production and distribution of 30 Days of Night and the aforementioned Kill Shakespeare.
The expanded agreement calls for the re-release Pandasaurus games, beginning with Tammany Hall and continuing with Rattus Cartus and Yedo.
"Pandasaurus has done an excellent job building a catalog of rich, engaging and in-demand board games," Jerry Bennington, director of IDW Games, said in a statement. "They're veterans in the industry and we look forward to developing some amazing titles together. This is a partnership that will have an immediate positive impact for both sides and you can be sure you'll be hearing big things from us soon."
With 16 days remaining, the Kickstarter campaign for the Kill Shakespeare board game has already surpassed its initial $25,000 goal.
Eastman & Laird reteam for 'TMNT' 30th anniversary
Creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird are marking the 30th anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in May by collaborating on a cover for IDW Publishing's special issue. It's the first time in more than 20 years that the two have worked together on the property that launched a multimedia empire.
"Working on the TMNT comics with the wonderful and amazing IDW team over the last three years reminded me how much I missed and loved the four green guys," Eastman said in a statement. "Getting to work with my co-creator Peter Laird again is the icing on the cake — and then some! It really took me back 30 years, to the earliest days, with the fondest memories, and why we got into this business in the first place."
Debuting in 1984 as a black-and-white self-published comic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles began as a parody of Cerebus, Daredevil, New Mutants and Ronin. However, the property soon spawned animated TV series, movies, video games and endless merchandise. Laird, who in 2008 completed a buyout of Eastman's interests in TMNT and Mirage Studios that began eight years earlier, struck a deal in 2009 for Viacom to purchase the property for a reported $60 million.
IDW's 48-page 30th Anniversary Special features new short stories by such creators as Dean Clarrain, Chris Allan, Gary Carlson, Frank Fosco and Jim Lawson.
IDW teams with Wood and Louise for 'The Beautiful War'
Ashley Wood will return to IDW Publishing this year with his Lore collaborator (and wife) T.P. Louise for an ongoing bimonthly series called The Beautiful War.
Debuting in May, the series center on Audel Howard, an industrialist who, "when he lets a green fairy out of the bottle, makes a deal that no mere mortal man can refuse. Wine, women, song, and a large backyard extension called America are now coming his way."
"Any Ashley Wood book is an event that excites all of us at IDW," Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall said in a statement. "And T.P. Louise, who crafted such an epic tale in Lore, is back to do the same thing here."
The debut of The Beautiful War will be followed in June by the release of Wood's Adventure Kartel, an oversized art book containing comic book stories, concept art and more.
Lore, the 2003 miniseries about a secret agency that protects the unwitting world from monsters of legend intent on humanity's destruction, is being developed for film by Warner Bros.
'Dinosaurs Attack!' boasts cartoonish gore, surprising subtext
In the 1990s, Warner Bros. and Tim Burton secured the rights for both Mars Attacks! and Dinosaurs Attack!, the 1962 and 1988 Topps collectible bubblegum card series, the premises of which is screamed aloud in their titles.
With both the commercial and creative success of Steven Spielberg's 1993's Jurassic Park scaring away others from tackling dinosaurs, Warner Bros. and Burton opted instead for Mars Attacks, ironically releasing their alien-invasion movie the same year as Independence Day, which, despite the wildly different tone, is nearly beat for beat the same movie, to the extent that Mars Attacks scans like a parody of ID4.
Dinosaurs Attack! may not have made it to the big screen (yet, he typed, with his fingers crossed), but it did get adapted into an unfinished Eclipse comic series … which was completed, cleaned up and re-released by IDW last year for the 25th anniversary of the card set. And it's now available in graphic-novel form.
The comic adaptation is written by series creator Gary Gerani, and is an expanded version of the parody of an unlikely B-movie plot: The world's greatest scientist has invented something called "Timescan," a process that will bombard the Earth from an orbiting space station with a special ray that will allow he and those aboard to see into planet's past using a huge view screen.
The world's second-greatest scientist, who just so happens to be his ex-wife and the mother of his child, doesn't think the process is safe and is virulently opposed to it.

Comics A.M. | Amid Korea's webtoon boom, cartoonists struggle
Digital comics | The Korea Times takes a look at the comics market in that country, where government suppression of comic books in the 1990s (and school-sponsored book burnings even before that) has combined with the current demand for free digital material (in the form of the wildly popular "webtoons") to create an uncertain environment for cartoonists trying to make a living from their work. "Unlike Japanese manga, which continues to drive a large part of the country's publishing market and provide a creative influence to movies, music and video games, Korea's cartoon culture was deprived of its opportunity to thrive," said Lee Chung-ho, president of the Korea Cartoonist Association. "However, the most difficult process for us will be to find a sustainable business model. Readership has increased dramatically through webtoons, but you have no clear idea on how many of these readers will be willing to pay for content." [The Korea Times]

Mode-coupling processes in polymethyl methacrylate-core optical fibers
Applied Optics, Vol. 31, Issue 24, pp. 5069-5079 (1992)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1405 KB)
Aperture, attenuation, and far-field radiation diagrams have been studied on short lengths of commercial polymethyl methacrylate- (PMMA-) core optical fibers. The spectral attenuation of the PMMA constituting the core has been carefully measured and compared with the attenuation that may be calculated from optical properties of PMMA. Accurate extrinsic attenuation spectra have been obtained. Moreover, the dependence of the far-field radiation diagram on the fiber length and on the launching incidence of a laser beam has been studied on this side of the mode-equilibrium length. The analysis of these diagrams, first performed with the Gloge mode-coupling model, has been improved with the hypothesis that the mode-coupling processes are a result of light diffraction by structural anomalies in the core. The average size and form of these structural anomalies has been evaluated. They may be longitudinal microcracks of the PMMA coming from stress relaxation, which occurs during the fiber-drawing process.

Govt urged to rethink digital TV plans
The federal Member for Grey is calling on the Government to alter its digital television plans for the Melrose, Quorn and Orroroo areas.
The Government plans to offer a subsidised satellite service to residents when the analogue signal ceases in 2013, but Rowan Ramsey says upgrading existing towers would be a better option.
Mr Ramsey says the satellite service would also mean there would be no local news, sport and advertising.
He says the Government has set a time line for change without thinking about the implications for regional Australia.
Mr Ramsey says the money would be better spend upgrading the towers for a digital signal.
"If they were to upgrade the transmitter towers, which I understand would cost around $230,000 a tower, well the problem could be overcome," he said.
"Some of these communities might have 500 televisions, 500 houses, so it would also seem to be the cheaper option."

2 Teens Charged With Assaulting British Students At PATH Station
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Two teenagers have been arrested for assaulting two students from Great Britain inside a New York City train station.
Four people were seen assaulting the 23-year-old students — a woman and a man — early Sunday morning inside the Ninth Street PATH station in Greenwich Village, Port Authority Police spokesman Joe Pentangelo said.
Deon Hinnat, 17, and a 14-year-old boy — both from New Jersey — were arrested on gang assault charges, Pentangelo said. He says two other suspects remain at large.
The students live in Jersey City, N.J. Pantangelo said the woman student fell, hit her head and was taken to a hospital, where she was treated and released. The other student refused medical attention.

It's been quite some time since we checked up on the Nike Air Penny 5 "Camo" colorway. The good news is that this latest look also comes with some release info. The sneakers will be in stores at the end of this month-November 29th to be exact. The combination of camo and volt is one reminds us of that Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Camo" release, especially since the both sport that bird looking logo. Get a quick look at this Nike Air Penny 5 below and circle the 29th on your calender if you're hoping to cop.

THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SURRENDER TRILOGYIn her sensational Breathless Trilogy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks tested the boundaries of desire. In her new trilogy, there's only one thing left to do: cross them. And never have the consequences of erotic exploration been so irresistibly inviting, so shockingly intimate, and so totally unexpected…
Josslyn found perfection once, and she knows she'll never find it again. Now widowed, she seeks the one thing her beloved husband couldn't give her: dominance. Lonely, searching for an outlet for her grief and wanting only a brief taste of the perfection she once enjoyed, she seeks what she's looking for at an exclusive club that caters to people indulging in their most hedonistic fantasies. She never imagined that what she'd find would be the one man who's long been a source of comfort—and secret longing. Her husband's best friend.
Dash has lived in an untenable position for years: in love with his best friend's wife but unwilling to act on that attraction. He'd never betray his best friend. And so he's waited in the wings, offering Joss unconditional support and comfort as she works past her grief, hoping for the day when he can offer her more.
When he finds her in a club devoted to the darker edges of desire, he's furious because he thinks she has no idea what she's getting herself into. Until she explains in detail what it is she wants. What she needs. As realization sets in, he is gripped by fierce, unwavering determination. If she wants dominance, he is the only man who will introduce her to that world. He is the only man who will touch her, cherish her…love her. And the only man she'll ever submit to. less

Any size 10+ Jussi riders?
I'm about to pull the trigger on a Jussi 2009 model (got a good deal on one) but after doing some research it seems the 159 board isn't suitable for my stats, I'm 200lbs, 5,11 and size 10 feet. I've read some stuff that says that at my foot size I should be looking towards a wide board.
Any Jussi riders with similar stats that have this board care to comment. Or anyone else for that matter. Thanks in advance guys. Last edited by niu; 08-14-2009 at 05:17 AM. |

During the academic year, full-time enrollment for graduate students consists of enrollment for 9 or more credits in graduate-level courses. The maximum course load, except as described on the chart below, is 15 credits. Students holding appointments as graduate assistants are considered as full-time if they enroll in a minimum of 6 credits of graduate-level course work.

My Christmas mantel for 2014
Wishing all of you the most beauteous of holiday seasons. May the gods bestow peace and grace on you and yours. May your December radiate with white light and love.
Peonies – Joy of June
It's June again, and with great joy I find once more the fresh-cut peonies at Trader Joe's. The lush buds in white, pink or fuschia are here for a blink of the eye and then PUFF! gone again until next season.
Antinous as Dionysus or the Ghost of Christmas Present?
Inspired by my recent real life odyssey to the ancient Roman world:
Ephesus (Turkey),
the Villas of Stabia,
Tiberius's Villa in Capri,
Hadrian's Tivoli Compound,
and glorious Ostia Antica,
my dear Antinous is festooned this Christmas in ivy and gold.
Is he Dionysus? Or the Ghost of Christmas Present from my all-time favorite classic film, A Christmas Carol?
Either way, he is still history's most beautiful man. At least, he gets my vote.
Mother's Day in the Lake of the Ozarks
I took a hiatus from The Black Scroll to fly/drive to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri for Mother's Day.
The Ozarks was the home of my Dad's mother and many of my extended family. I used to spend the summers and school holidays there, roaming the woods, fishing and hunting with my cousins.
It was in the Ozarks that my imagination flourished. Lying on a warm boulder beside the lake on a hot summer day with dragonflies zooming round my ears, I'd imagine I was an Indian princess or a pioneer girl about to be kidnapped by a handsome brave.
Swinging in a hammock at my Aunt Jerry's house, I devoured her romance novels with one man and two women – the angel and the not so angelic. Even then, I thought – why can't a woman have two men?
Sex and the Zen of Shopping now in COLOR ebook for Kindle Fire
I'M EXCITED! Technology has caught up!
Now I can offer Sex and the Zen of Shopping in a full color Kindle ebook that looks exactly like the color print copy.
We were able to create this Kindle edition with a new software that will revolutionize epublishing for picture book and how-to authors.
The costs of Amazon print-on-demand for color are steep. I'd say prohibitive in today's market. I really disliked the $25 we had to charge for my shopping book, Sex and the Zen of Shopping: Live Rich by Shopping Smart.
This is, after all, a book about bargain shopping!
Until this latest Kindle technology, the best solution was to produce a Black & White Bargain print edition.
You can now get the layout, the embedded text and the vivid color of photos in an ebook! You'll see exactly the same format as the print edition – IF you have a Kindle Fire, an equivalent tablet or Kindle for PC.
Check it out. There are sample pages you can "leaf through" here: Amazon Sex and Zen of Shopping Kindle Version.
Caution: This Kindle Fire edition is for tablets and Kindle for PC only. It will not work on older Kindle readers.

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Critics Consensus: It's far from original, but Olympus Has Fallen benefits from Antoine Fuqua's tense direction and a strong performance from Gerard Butler -- which might just be enough for action junkies.

LoginCritic Reviews for Olympus Has Fallen
All Critics (179) | Top Critics (35) | Fresh (86) | Rotten (93)
To those who enjoy the Action Movie Fantasy, Olympus Has Fallen is one of the best examples in years.
Olympus Has Fallen is made from action-movie mix. Just add sweat.
Let's be upfront. Olympus Has Fallen is dumb, violent, overlong, jingoistic, racist, predictable, derivative, and whatever other adjectives those with no sense of B-grade fun wish to throw at it.
While never scaling John McClane-level excitement, Fuqua's film is good popcorn fun
A vile propagandistic action flick that shamelessly indulges fears of terrorism while also failing on a basic narrative level.
Olympus Has Fallen has excellent action sequences, and Fuqua does a terrific job making Washington, D.C., look like a battleground. For indulgent viewers, this will be enough.
Olympus Has Fallen is a serious take on a silly premise that strains believability and ultimately can't help being just another forgettable action flick.
All that prevents this from being a four-star action blockbuster are some larded subplots and a superfluous degree of buzz-killing violence.
It's a seemingly foolproof premise that is, to a slight yet palpable degree, squandered by Fuqua...
Butler's presence makes perfect sense. He's an empty, mindless vessel. Just like his movie.
A fiery pile of turdy dialogue, turgid action, and xenophobic boosterism for the frequently 'God bless!'-ed US of A. This movie's so stupid, the only suspense it offers is if your brain can avoid falling into a coma before the screen finally goes to black
Provided you can handle such deliberate over-kill in the chaotic swirl that goes on here, Olympus Has Fallen offers a super-sized serving of grit-tinged fantasy action guaranteed to satisfy those who don't mind splatter over style.
In reinventing an old tale in a smart and engaging way, it's a thoroughly entertaining and often riveting way to spend two hours.
With guns blazing and spouting one-liners, Gerard Butler revels in being the tough guy and leads a decent cast, with all-American Aaron Eckhart a worthy addition to the hallowed list of movie presidents.
Olympus Has Fallen is the stupid, dark fantasy of backward white trash America that needs another domestic threat to trigger war.
Gruesome, clich�-ridden terrorist attack on the White House actioner has a lot of energy to go along with its relentless and well-choreographed carnage.
t's a terrible action film but a brilliant piece of North Korean propaganda. The American characters act so stupidly that you're pretty much rooting for Kim Jong-un. THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS.
There's a single line of dialogue that interrogates America's sanctions against some of the poorest people in the world. And who said this kind of thing couldn't be thought provoking?
The movie is preposterous, paranoid, solemn and - though not I think intentionally - something of a laughing matter.
What the studio's calling 'an action movie' - the Secret Service will call 'a comedy'.
Audience Reviews for Olympus Has Fallen
Mike Banning: Classified? Really? Well right now, I think I have the proverbial need to fuckin' know.
"When our flag falls our nation will rise."
Olympus Has Fallen was better than I expected, but also as bad as I expected. It's not a good movie. It's full of patriotic propaganda that filmmakers for some reason love to use. As a simple popcorn flick, it's pretty fun though and as much as I dislike saying it, I enjoyed the movie for the most part. It has great pace and great action, and in the end that's all movies like this need.
A secret service agent isn't able to save the presidents wife after a car crash and he is relieved of his duties and sent to a desk job. 18 months later, while the President meets with the prime minister of South Korea, North Korean terrorists overtake the White House and take the President and some other high ranking officials hostage in the White House bunker. Mike Banning, the aforementioned secret service agent makes his way to the White House and ends up being the only man left in there that is on the side of the United States. Now he has to fight his way through a shit load of terrorists in order to save the president and the country.
Gerrard Butler definitely makes this movie go down easier. He's a lot of fun to watch, as always. If only he could pick better films. Butler plays a John McClain like character in a movie that can pretty much be thrown into the sub genre of Die Hard ripoffs. Morgan Freeman plays the Speaker of the House, who has to take over as acting president while the real president and vice president are unable to. Aaron Eckart plays the president and does a reasonably good job.
As far as a recommendation goes, fans of violent, bloody actioneers will have quite a bit of fun. If you need something of more substance in the films you watch, you should probably look elsewhere. Overall though, this is a reasonably decent film that's a lot more fun that it probably should be.
Super Reviewer
Good action movie. Perhaps it was not very realistic, and yes the main "hero" was a bit unbelievable in his ability to shoot, kill, be stabbed, fall great heights and have skills beyond belief. So, no it was not a deeply intellectual movie. But, nonetheless a thrill ride from beginning to end.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Olympus may have fallen in Antoine Fuqua's Olympus Has Fallen, but the body count rises.Pretty straightforward story going on here without much in the way of surprise; however, while the first 30 minutes proves to be some average buildup, the following 80 minutes harness some solid entertainment value.When compared to other elements of this picture, the usage of CG is a letdown. The aerial sequences involving helicopters and planes, while destructive in nature, are underwhelming. Fortunately, the rest of the bloody violence and shootings make up for this weakness.Gerard Butler isn't someone we haven't seen before, but watching him go to work here is the highlight of the film. Morgan Freeman is second on the stepladder and everyone else tends to fall back into the rubble.In the action department Olympus Has Fallen delivers. That's all there is to it.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Mindless piece of sludge full of ridiculous situations and moronic dialogue. A total waste of a group of talented actors, that Angela Bassett, Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman have to make this kind of tripe to keep working is a crying shame.

I've penned a new blog post up at Counter Cultured today called, "Take Your Valentine Fishing This Year." Below is an excerpt:
Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Though love can be celebrated any day of the year, why not make this February 14th especially memorable?
As many couples scramble to plan innovative dates, they shouldn't feel obligated to watch films like Fifty Shades of Grey. A film that promotes sadism, narcissism, and sexism doesn't bring couples together. Other activities do.
On that token, I recommend all those celebrating Valentine's Day go fishing if weather permitted.

It is unfortunate for [a]Alias[/a] that he is so closely linked to the highly regarded Anticon label and the ever-changing world of underground hip-hop. In that context, this album, for all its undoubted charms, sounds like a record that is behind the times. [b]'Fever Dream'[/b] sees him desert the boom-bap quantized beats for which he has become known in favour of post-[a]Flying Lotus[/a] lolloping percussion and woozy sample collages. The results are lush, psychedelic, often funky and always immaculately produced. But compared to, say, [b]'Cosmogramma'[/b], it sounds unadventurous and polite, as if [a]Alias[/a] has grasped the sound of Fly-Lo et al rather than the spirit.

Additionally, Mr. Yuzhou Wang, deputy financial controller, made several recent purchases totaling 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock in open market transactions at prices as high as $5.00 per share.

Our Bridge-Arc wheel products continue to increase market penetration in China's burgeoning aftermarket. These catalysts further align management's interests with our shareholders and express our confidence in the Company's ability to grow shareholder value."

How donating works
Once a Donate button is added to a campaign website, supporters progress through the donation process smoothly, securely, and quickly.
Online donation process
1. The donor clicks Donate.
On your campaign website, supporters decide to contribute to your cause and enter the amount they wish to donate. -
2. The donor reviews donation details.
Supporters are taken to a secure payment page on PayPal's site. They can log in and pay with PayPal in as few as three clicks. To pay by credit card, they fill out the easy payment form.Before completing the payment, supporters review a summary of key information.
3. The donor views payment confirmation.
Supporters see a donation confirmation page they can print for their records. They'll also receive a confirmation email. The political campaign gets one, too. -
4. The donor returns to site.
Donors can be sent back to your site immediately after payment. You can specify where they go in your Website Preferences on the Profile tab of your PayPal account. We'll send you their contact information for future appeals. -
5. Your campaign receives funds.
The campaign quickly receives funds into its PayPal account. It can then transfer these funds to its bank account at no charge (bank transfers usually take 2-3 days to clear), or spend the funds online anywhere PayPal is accepted. How do I get my money?

PayPal offers tools that provide valuable information on every campaign contribution, including employer and occupation information. You can use this information to file your FAC reports.

I have a Pane within my interface. On that Pane I add Shape objects and drag them around. I what to make my Pane bigger when one Shape reaches the visual bounds of the Pane. As a prototype, I try to make it bigger whenever I click my mouse. The Pane is child (within) a ScrollPane. Here is my code:
paneArea.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
System.out.println(paneArea.getWidth()+" "+paneArea.getHeight());
paneArea.resize(paneArea.getWidth() + 100, paneArea.getHeight() + 100);
System.out.println(paneArea.getWidth()+" "+paneArea.getHeight());
When I click twice I get the following result:
602.0 574.0
702.0 674.0
602.0 574.0
702.0 674.0
So the Pane basically resizes briefly and then returns to its original size.On the FXML, the max height and width are set to USE_PREF_SIZE as well as MAX_VALUE. I also tried to increase maxWidth/height before calling resize but made no difference. Any advice?
