Which film do think failed the most at historical accuracy?
Relevant offers
The scene: Tehran's Mehrabad airport, January 1980. Six US diplomats, disguised as a fake sci-fi film crew, are about to fly to freedom with their CIA escorts.
But suddenly there's a moment of panic in what had been a smooth trip through the airport.
The plane has mechanical difficulties and will be delayed. Will the Americans be discovered, arrested, even killed? CIA officer Tony Mendez, also in disguise, tries to calm them. Luckily, the flight leaves about an hour later.
If you saw the film Argo, no, you didn't miss this development, which is recounted in Mendez's book about the real-life operation. It wasn't there because director Ben Affleck and screenwriter Chris Terrio replaced it with an even more dramatic scenario, involving cancelled flight reservations, suspicious Iranian officials who call the Hollywood office of the fake film crew (a call answered just in time), and finally a heart-pounding chase on the tarmac just as the plane's wheels lift off, seconds from catastrophe.
Crackling filmmaking - except that it never happened. Affleck and Terrio, whose film is an Oscar frontrunner, never claimed their film was a documentary, of course. But still, they've caught some flak for the liberties they took in the name of entertainment.
And they aren't alone - two other high-profile best-picture nominees this year, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty and Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, have also been criticised for different sorts of factual issues.
Filmmakers have been making movies based on real events forever, and similar charges have been made. But because these three major films are in contention, the issue has come to the forefront of this year's Oscar race, and with it a thorny cultural question: Does the audience deserve the truth, the whole truth and nothing but? Surely not, but just how much fiction is OK?
The latest episode involved Lincoln, and the revelation that Spielberg and his screenwriter, the Pulitzer-winning playwright Tony Kushner, took liberties depicting the 1865 vote on the 13th amendment outlawing slavery. In response to a complaint by a Connecticut congressman, Kushner acknowledged he'd changed the details for dramatic effect, having two Connecticut congressmen vote against the amendment when, in fact, all four voted for it. (The names of those congressmen were changed, to avoid changing the vote of specific individuals.)
In a statement, Kushner said he had "adhered to time-honoured and completely legitimate standards for the creation of historical drama, which is what Lincoln is. I hope nobody is shocked to learn that I also made up dialogue and imagined encounters and invented characters."
His answer wasn't satisfying to everyone. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called on Spielberg this weekend to adjust the DVD version before it's released - lest the film leave "students everywhere thinking the Nutmeg State is nutty."
One prominent screenwriting professor finds the Lincoln episode "a little troubling" - but only a little.
"Maybe changing the vote went too far," says Richard Walter, chairman of screenwriting at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Maybe there was another way to do it. But really, it's not terribly important. People accept that liberties will be taken. A movie is a movie. People going for a history lesson are going to the wrong place."
Walter says he always tells his students: "Go for the feelings. Because the only thing that's truly real in the movies are the feelings that people feel when they watch."
Carson Reeves, who runs a screenwriting website called Scriptshadow, says writers basing scripts on real events face a constant problem: No subject or individual's life is compelling and dramatic enough by itself, he says, that it neatly fits into a script with three acts, subplots, plot twists and a powerful villain.
"You just have to get rid of things that maybe would have made the story more truthful," says Reeves, who actually gave the Lincoln script a negative review because he thought it was too heavy on conversation and lacking action. He adds, though, that when the subject is as famous as Lincoln, one has a responsibility to be more faithful to the facts.
Screenwriter and actor Dan Futterman, nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for the Capote screenplay, has empathy for any writer trying to pen an effective script based on real events, as he did.
"This is fraught territory," he says. "You're always going to have to change something, and you're always going to get in some sort of trouble, with somebody," he says.
Futterman recalls seeing Lincoln and wondering briefly why Connecticut would have voted the way the movie depicted it. On the other hand, he says, he has so much admiration for Kushner's achievement in writing an exciting movie about 19th-century legislative history that he's inclined to overlook the alteration.
Futterman also doesn't begrudge the Argo filmmakers, because he feels they use a directorial style that implies some fun is being had with the story. "All the inside joking about Hollywood - tonally, you get a sense that something is being played with," he says.
He recalls his own object lesson in the difficulty of writing about real people and events: In Capote, he combined three of Truman Capote's editors into one, for the sake of the narrative. He ended up hearing from the son of New Yorker editor William Shawn, actor Wallace Shawn, who wasn't totally pleased with the portrayal of his father. Futterman says he was sympathetic to those concerns and would certainly have addressed them in the script, had he anticipated them.
Of the three Oscar-nominated films in question, Zero Dark Thirty has inspired the most fervent debate. The most intense criticism, despite acclaim for the filmmaking craft involved, has been about its depictions of interrogations, with some, including a group of senators, saying the film misleads viewers for suggesting that torture provided information that helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden.
There also have been questions about the accuracy of the depiction of the main character, a CIA officer played by Jessica Chastain; the real person - or even combination of people, according to some theories - that she plays remains anonymous.
Mark Boal, the movie's screenwriter, said in a recent interview that screenwriters have a double responsibility: to the material and to the audience.
"There's a responsibility, I believe, to the audience, because they're paying money, and to tell a good story," he said. "And there's a responsibility to be respectful of the material."
In a later interview with the Wall Street Journal, he added: "I think it's my right, by the way, if I firmly believe that bin Laden was killed by aliens, to depict that. ... In this country, isn't that legit?"
The debate over Argo has been much less intense, though there has been some grumbling from former officials in Britain and New Zealand that their countries were portrayed incorrectly in the film as offering no help at all to the six Americans, whereas actually, as Mendez writes, they did provide some help.
And as for the Canadians, the Toronto Star detailed late last year how Affleck (who also stars as Mendez) agreed to adjust the postscript to his film to more generously credit Canada and its ambassador at the time, Ken Taylor, who protected the Americans at great personal risk.
To Walter, the screenwriting professor, keeping track of all the historical details is a losing battle.
"When I am hungry and crave a tuna fish sandwich, I don't go to a hardware store," he says. "When I seek a history lesson, I do not go to a movie theatre. I loved Argo even though I know there was no last-minute turn-around via a phone call from President Carter, nor were there Iranian police cars chasing the plane down the tarmac as it took off. So what? These conceits simply make the movie more exciting."

We admit it, ever since spotting it in J.Crew's Jenna Lyon's old apartment, we've been hooked on herringbone wood floors in the bathroom. It's hip but homey, riffs off traditional tilework, and just looks that much more special. Keep your stain on the lighter side so that the design is easy to make out.

Yes. Sink, light fixture, wainscoting and mirror. Maybe a grey wall color with yellow accents? So your blue bathroom isn't perfect like this one. but something along this color scheme with the old blue tile would be really nice?? Like the dark brown and cream/white/off white color.

Blue-and-Brown Bath Light blue walls set the stage for a trendy brown-and-blue color scheme that showcases an espresso-stained vanity and a romantic brown paisley shower curtain. The dark browns are balanced by a white subway-tile shower surround and beaded-board wainscoting atop a basket-weave tiled floor in taupe, brown, and white. Silvertone fixtures and hardware add a subtle gleam to the mix.

Wickedly hilarious and utterly recognizable, "Girls in White Dresses" tells the story of three women grappling with heartbreak and career change, family pressure and new love--all while suffering through an endless round of weddings and bridal showers.
Isabella, Mary, and Lauren feel like everyone they know is getting married. On Sunday after Sunday, at bridal shower after bridal shower, they coo over toasters, collect ribbons and wrapping paper, eat minuscule sandwiches and doll-sized cakes. They wear pastel dresses and drink champagne by the case, but amid the celebration these women have their own lives to contend with: Isabella is working at a mailing-list company, dizzy with the mixed signals of a boss who claims she's on a diet but has Isabella file all morning if she forgets to bring her a chocolate muffin. Mary thinks she might cry with happiness when she finally meets a nice guy who loves his mother, only to realize he'll never love Mary quite as much. And Lauren, a waitress at a Midtown bar, swears up and down she won't fall for the sleazy bartender--a promise that his dirty blond curls and perfect vodka sodas make hard to keep.
With a wry sense of humor, Jennifer Close brings us through those thrilling, bewildering, what-on-earth-am-I-going-to-do-with-my-life years of early adulthood. These are the years when everyone else seems to have a plan, a great job, and an appropriate boyfriend, while Isabella has a blind date with a gay man, Mary has a crush on her boss, and Lauren has a goldfish named Willard. Through boozy family holidays and disastrous ski vacations, relationships lost to politics and relationships found in pet stores, "Girls in White Dresses" pulls us deep inside the circle of these friends, perfectly capturing the wild frustrations and soaring joys of modern life.

Celtics fans can cross DeMarcus Cousins off their wish lists. The news of the imminent sale of the Sacramento Kings all but eliminates the possibility of the team moving its marquee, mercurial big man to the Celtics this season.
A potential trade between Sacramento and Boston appeared to have legs early this week in the aftermath of Cousins' third team-issued suspension of the season. Cousins berated Kings coach Keith Smart during halftime of a game in late December, and the team issued an indefinite suspension, which ended up being two games.
The ensuing fallout from the suspension gave plenty of credence to trade rumors. The Kings owners -- the Maloof brothers -- and general manager Geoff Petrie were divided on Cousins' deserved punishment. Petrie and Smart preferred a lengthy suspension for Cousins' repeated insubordinate behavior. According to a USA Today report, George Maloof felt that punishment was unnecessary. Instead, he "initiated dialogue with Cousins … had him discuss the situation with Smart, and then made it clear that Cousins would return to the team the following day." Petrie did not make himself available to the media when Cousins was reinstated, seemingly making an unspoken statement that he was not on board with another slap on the wrist for Cousins.
Cousins then left his agent, John Greig, to sign with Dan Fegan, who also serves as agent to Dwight Howard. Fegan is infamous in NBA circles for orchestrating Howard's departure from Orlando by demanding a trade several times last season.
Many figured Cousins' choice to switch agents would result in another trade demand from Fegan, since Cousins has publicly expressed a desire for a trade several times during frustrated postgame interviews over the last three seasons. Fegan did meet with Kings ownership this week, but according to USA Today, did not demand a trade. The Maloofs have stated emphatically that Cousins will not be traded, whether he issues a demand or not.
The recent news that the Maloofs are on the verge of selling the team adds a new perspective to the handling of Cousins. While the Kings general manager and coach might be willing to cut bait on the 22-year-old who would be a senior at Kentucky this season had he stayed in school to gain some needed maturity, the Maloofs view the 6-foot-11, 270-pound center as the team's biggest asset.
The Maloofs are said to be asking a record price for an NBA franchise -- more than $500 million. They paid $156 million for the Kings in 1998, according to Forbes magazine. A group led by Seattle hedge fund manager Chris Hansen reportedly is interested in purchasing the team and moving it to Seattle. The Maloofs didn't become rich by devaluing their assets just before they attempt to sell. A team with Cousins as the centerpiece would be far more marketable in Seattle than a team with Jason Terry, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass or even Avery Bradley playing a similar role.
Cousins' marketability is, of course, dependent on the new ownership's ability to sell him as a potential franchise player who is simply going through the growing pains of entering the NBA too early. That shouldn't be a hard sell. Cousins' most recent suspension brought out the best in the big man who has a great command of the low post. In the four games following the suspension, Cousins averaged 24.5 points and 15.3 rebounds. There is little question he has the talent to be one of the best centers in the NBA for a stretch of 10 years.
The new owners should have little trouble making the case that Cousins is an immature player stuck in an awful situation. The Kings have lacked a facilitating point guard throughout Cousins' entire career. With players like Tyreke Evans, Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Thornton, the guards are dribble-drive-obsessed, shoot-first teammates. Those who cover the Kings often report that Cousins' outbursts often come after nights when his teammates generally ignore him in the low post, choosing instead to shoot long jumpers early in the shot clock in lopsided losses. Cousins' poor behavior also has been enabled by an ownership group that continues to go over the heads of the coaching staff and general manager to keep the top prospect on the floor.
In a recent story in The Sacramento Bee, Cousins attempted to assess the cause of his outbursts.
"Stress," he said. "It's the stress. I really do care. I wish people understood how much I hate losing. Honestly, the losing really gets to me."
Taking Cousins' words into account, there might be no better landing spot for him in the NBA than Boston, where Cousins likely would have far less losing-provoked stress. He would play with a facilitating point guard in Rajon Rondo, who has been criticized for passing up shots to set up his teammates. And Cousins would be taken under the wing of Kevin Garnett, who is considered one of the best mentors and leaders of young big men in the NBA.
The problem for the Celtics is the Maloofs are not interested in doing what's best for Cousins' career. They are looking to maximize their profit margin. With that in mind, the Celtics do not have the pieces to pull off a trade for Cousins.

Daniel Radcliffe Knows His American Football
He may be a native Londoner who brought to screen one of England's biggest literary heroes, but these days Daniel Radcliffe calls the States his home. He's got a place in New York City. He's currently starring in his third Broadway show, a revival of Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan. And, he's also become quite the avid student of the stars-and-stripes religion known as American football. Radcliffe followed the recent NFL draft and was thrilled to see Missouri's Michael Sam make history when he became the first openly gay player to be drafted. Sam was picked up by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round, and as Radcliffe told us when we spoke to him for his new movie, What If, it shouldn't have taken so long.
Check out the trailer for Radcliffe's new movie, What If, out this August. And, stay tuned for the second part of our interview with the star.

Even boosting it by $200,000 the levy is still proposed at less than the county's 2013 levy. McMahon said there's too many "unknowns" looming in the area of health and human services and he felt a conservative approach would delete pulling the full $350,000 out of reserves. Commissioner Lora Walker argued that the county has spent HHS reserves before, and she had no problem drawing it down. The levy for $31,347, 021 in McMahon's motion passed 4-1. This is still less than what the county collected as a local levy last year. It's been several years since the Board has hiked what it collects in local tax, which Chair Ben Montzka commented was unprecedented in county history. The county budget in total is $58 million, which is about $700,000 more than the total for 2013-- but the difference is made up through outside funding like grants and inter-governmental aid. County Administrator Bruce Messelt noted debt service is nearly $5 million, which is where it has been for a couple of years now, but he called it a "red flag." The Powerpoint presentation leading up to the commissioners' vote is on the county webpage in detail: www.co. chisago.mn.us. Messelt added that this year the county heads into levy finalization (December is final levy vote) with all but one bargaining unit agreement complete. Labor relations hit few snags this time around, he added. Commissioner Mike Robinson made a motion to tack on $10,000 for the Extension line item for 2014 for 4-H programming. He got no second and it died. The Board felt that shifting money within the financial constraint of the adopted levy can be accomplished in coming weeks. There may be line item adjustments in a number of areas. Messelt said for example the budget for insurance covering data practices errors is likely going to go up by about $5,000, he has been advised by the insurance carrier MCIT. Heartland Express also has an opportunity to leverage state dollars in a 15 local / 85 state percent match, which can be covered shifting a small sum out of Contingency for 2014. Between now and December the proposed levy can not increase, but can be reduced when it is certified for 2014 in December.

By just-drinks.com editorial team | 22 May 2009
Kiring Holdings, the Japanese brewer, has completed its purchase of a 48% stake in Philippines-based San Miguel Brewery.
Kirin said today (22 May) that it has, as planned, bought a 43% stake in San Miguel Brewery from parent group San Miguel Corp and a further 5% stake by buying up all publicly owned shares in the group not owned by San Miguel Corp.
The Japanese brewer said previously that it had agreed to pay PHP59bn (US$1.25bn) and PHP26.2bn for the stakes respectively.
The deal also gives Kirin the right to negotiate exclusively with San Miguel Corp over the sale of the group's beer assets beyond the Philippines.
At the same time, Kirin said today that is has completed the sale of its entire 20% stake in San Miguel Corp to Q-Tech Alliance Holdings, a Philippines-based investment group, for approximately PHP39.6bn.
For Kirin, the moves form part of the brewer's strategy to expand beer operations outside of its native Japan.
The group recently agreed to acquire all shares it does not already own in Australian brewer Lion Nathan.

The pair will now battle it out for a place in the Ziwa Mo
semi-finals, and the chance to kick-start an ailing season, and Neeskens
is expecting a very tight encounter at the King Zwelithini Stadium.
"We can expect a tough game against a team that is very motivated," Neeskens said.
"(AmaZulu) won in the Telkom Knockout (first round) and then drew
with Pirates (in the league), more or less the same as we did. We also
won in the cup and then drew with Ajax (Cape Town).
"They are more or less in the same position as we are but I also
think that AmaZulu have got their confidence back and so did we."

It turns out that these days most of us are using social media in some way or another…it's just that we're not entirely sure what to do with it.
A recent study conducted by SocialMediaExaminer.com reveals that 91 percent of marketers now report integrating social media into their marketing efforts. However, out of those using social media, the majority (65 percent) is relatively new to it, having only embarked on social media marketing within the past several months. Interestingly, it's B2B (define) marketers (nearly 80 percent) who have been engaged with social media longer: about 69 percent of B2C (define) marketers reported using social media for several months or more.
Any way you slice it, however, it seems using social media for marketing is here to stay. And if you look at the numbers it makes total sense: another recent survey discovered that Facebook is the website most visited by people at work…twice as high as Google (6.8 percent of business traffic went to Facebook and 3.4 percent went to Google)!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and attribute that Facebook traffic to personal, not business use. Maybe that's a bit of a leap, but if you look at your own workplace Web usage patterns – OK…maybe not yours, but certainly your coworkers'), this shouldn't come as a shock. Ahem.
So if everyone's using social media for marketing and many of us are accessing Facebook from work, what's the best way to use social media? As much as I'd like to give you a definitive answer on that, I'd have to say that the answer as of today is "nobody's sure yet." Yes, there are plenty of folks who tout the efficacy of Twitter and Facebook and other social media services as the way to market, but I think that we're at the stage now with social media where banner advertising was around 2000 or 2001.
Why? Because back then it wasn't uncommon to have pitched battles between the "branding" and "response" camps when it came to discussing whether or not to put online display ads into a campaign. The hardcore response folks insisted that the direct-response nature of banner ads was the only thing we should worry about. On the other hand, the branding camp insisted that it wasn't click-throughs that mattered…it was the branding effect of having your ads out there in front of people all the time.
Who won? Well…nobody, really. Instead, I'd say that savvy marketers have realized that both camps were right. Sure, banners (if done correctly) could be great for response: see the "dancing" mortgage ads or the onetime-ubiquitous "click the bunny and win an iPod" ads. These ads didn't even need to feature the brand desiring the response…they just pulled out all the stops to get response and let the landing pages do the work.
On the other hand, marketers looking to build brand awareness have realized that perhaps clicks didn't matter as long as the brand was prominent enough and presented in an engaging way. And the effect is not just anecdotal. There have been some pretty interesting studies that have demonstrated how brand recognition can get a lift from banners, even if nobody clicks on those banners.
All of this is why a new joint study by Nielsen and Facebook is so interesting, especially in light of the near ubiquity of social media marketing. Though the report looks at Facebook advertising from a number of dimensions, the bottom line is this: Facebook advertising works to increase brand awareness regardless of response and gets even more effective when combined with social connections. Facebook ads can help build brand on their own, but if your friends are tied in, things really get good…and even better if they're tied in with mentions in your Facebook news feeds.
On social networks, ads are good for branding, even better when combined with your online friends, and best when they appear along with news from your friends on the same topic. Not that big of a shock, huh? But as we figure out how to use all this stuff, it's important not to be reductive in how we think about social media marketing. It's not "brand" vs. "response." It's both…and it's both in combination with how social connections are worked in. Complex stuff, to be sure, but that same complexity is what allows us to be creative with how we market. Don't sweat it if you haven't figured it all out yet: keep experimenting, keep learning, and, above all, avoid those who tell you that they have the answer. They don't. They didn't 10 years ago either.
