Hollywood's 'Godzilla' finally makes it home
TOKYO – Tokyo is rolling out the red carpet for Hollywood's "Godzilla" remake although the nation that gave birth to the fire-breathing monster is seeing the latest movie after it opened everywhere else.
"Godzilla," which opened in the U.S. on May 16, has grossed more than $488 million globally.
But trepidation remains about its reception in Japan because of the intense loyalty fans feel toward the original. The film opens in Japan on July 25.
Director Gareth Edwards, present in Tokyo for the gala Thursday, stressed he had merely parented what was the child of Japan.
"It feels like a homecoming," said Edwards. "His home is Japan."
Ken Watanabe, whose "Godzilla" role is one of several appearances in Hollywood films, acknowledged pressure was high for how the film may be received in Japan.
"It might be a challenge for Japanese to accept this movie," he said after posing with a figure of Godzilla on the red carpet.
He said some scenes show the wreckage of a giant tsunami, evoking painful memories of the March 2011 disaster in northeastern Japan, which killed nearly 19,000 people and set off the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl.
"I have a special feeling for this film because of the disaster," Watanabe said.
Edwards' 3-D Godzilla, complete with glistening scales, spikes down its back and a terrifying roar, pays homage to the original, tracing the theme of the threat of radiation, following America's atomic attacks on Japan in World War II.
Although Godzilla has grown to be one of Japan's most iconic exports, along with sushi and geisha, its status in mainstream entertainment has waned here.
Toho Co., the creators of Godzilla movies since the first one in 1954, stopped making them after the 28th in a series in 2004.
Officials say times have changed and an actor thrashing about in a rubber suit, smashing miniature models of buildings, just doesn't cut it anymore.
Watanabe said the film's late opening in Japan was because of technical reasons about summer vacations coming later, and denied it was intentional to avoid jinxing it by having it possibly fail in the land of Godzilla's birth.
But he laughed and shook his head when asked whether the best was being saved for last.
Hard-core Godzilla fans think nothing can live up to the charm and pathos of the original, and scoff at computer graphics and other modern filmmaking technology.
Akira Takarada, who played the young diver in the first "Godzilla" and appeared in many sequels, said he burst into tears when he watched the new "Godzilla" in the U.S., and the crowd began stomping on the floor, and then gave Godzilla a standing ovation when it finally appeared about an hour into the movie.
"A giant hero they had been waiting for had arrived," he said with emotion in his voice.
Edwards appeared confident his movie would win over Japanese fans.
"They're the best fans in the world," he said. "They're crazy."

Elliott Management demanded five board seats at Hess Corp. The oil and gas company responded with an offer of two. The sides have settled on three.
With just hours to go before Hess' annual meeting, Hess agreed to add three of the hedge fund's nominees to its board—after its slate was elected at the meeting. Elliott said it would now back that slate, all of whom are new to the board and independent of Hess management.
"We are pleased to reach an agreement that we believe is in the best interests of Hess shareholders, and we welcome each of our new directors," CEO John Hess said.
"We are pleased to welcome a highly qualified and refreshed board at Hess," Elliott's John Pike said.
The deal between the sides was struck late last night; Hess was reportedly pushed by several large shareholders who wanted to seat some of Elliott's nominees. Elliott's slate was reportedly leading Hess' nominees heading into today's meeting.

Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu

Hotel near EZE airport in BA (overnight connection)
Report Abuse
There is a Holiday Inn near EZE.
Report Abuse
Thanks. What kind of transportation they have to / from airport, and to / from city center (like Recoletto) ? I am not sure how safe the taxis are.
Report Abuse
I would not rule out going into town, as I understand that the Holiday Inn and other options nearby like La Posada de las Aguilas are not always bargains.
What times are your flights....? Are you sure its still not worth it to go into town...?
EZE has a lot of shortcomings as an airport, one of them is of course not having a proper hotel on airport grounds. Im afraid I dont know the shuttle or transportation service situation to either the Posada or the Holiday Inn. Perhaps you should contact both places directly and see what they can offer...?
Report Abuse
Yes, and if you go into town (~ 45-50 minutes from EZE) you are correct to a avoid the Taxis outside the airport. Take either Taxi Ezeiza (booth in the airport, just after you exit customs they take cash in dollars, euros etc.) or a remis (private car - a bit more $$ than Taxi Ezeiza - they take CCs or cash). I think this advice stands even if you choose to go to the hotels listed above.
Report Abuse
Thanks guys. I did stay at Holiday In, and, yes, it was not a bargain But at least I got some sleep. Now I would actually like to visit BA on my way back (also 1 day), but this is a separate topic.

Trisquel 6.0 Review: High performing and elegant
The birth of Ubuntu is possibly, pivotal to the Linux history. Reason? Without Ubuntu, possibly we won't have heard the names of 50% distros in the Distrowatch top 100 list! You will find all kinds of Ubuntu derived distros there - mostly spiced up Ubuntu which work right out of the box with all free and non-free multimedia codecs and restricted softwares loaded in them! However, last week I came across a different kind of Ubuntu derivative which strictly uses free softwares only, as defined by the Free Software Foundation guidelines! Originally Trisquel is a Spanish distro (with English language option thankfully - otherwise the world would have missed a really wonderful distro!).
On free software part, possibly, I am not so emotionally attached as the developers or free software advocates. So, my review is completely focused on functionality and performance of Trisquel without getting really involved on the free-software bit. I definitely support their cause but in this review I treated Trisquel just like any other Linux distro.

You want to lose weight, but you don't have time before your class reunion or first date with the hot guy you met online to drop a few pounds. So, what can you do to look slimmer instantly when you're on a time crunch, allowing you to bolster the self-esteem necessary to make a great impression?
We all know that losing weight is hard. If looking good was easy, we'd all be size 2's with a rock solid behind and ta-ta's that are perky and bouncy, not saggy and droopy.
And, there's no doubt that how you feel about yourself projects outward to those around you. If you want to show confidence, self-acceptance and personal power, you need to feel it from the inside out.
Dress in a way that makes you feel like this and you'll be unstoppable! Here are 20 guidelines you need to follow to look slimmer and feel more confident instantly:
Make sure you have the right size bra
It's alarming the number of woman who actually wear the wrong size support for their 'girls'. If your cup is too small, your girls will start cascading over the top, but if it's too big they'll look dehydrated like a raisin behind a sea of fabric.
And, if the band isn't the correct size, you'll either end up with back fat bulges or not enough support which leaves your girls swinging in the breeze.
The best way to insure you have a proper fit is to go to a specialty store and get yourself measured. It's one of the easiest and most effective ways to slim yourself quickly.
Don't wear clothes two sizes too big
A lot of women attempt to wear bigger clothes to hide their weight. However, it does just the opposite. Big clothes make you look even bigger. Pick clothing that actually fits your true body size.
Don't wear clothes two sizes too small
There's nothing more uncomfortable and more unflattering than pants that leave you with a muffin top or a shirt that threatens to unfurl the very buttons that are trying to hold it in place. Again, buy clothes that fit.
Wear patterns that accentuate your shape
If you're straight bodied, choose color patterns that make it appear as if you have an hourglass shape. If you are lucky enough to have an hourglass shape, accentuate it with something that draws attention to your waist area.
If you layer, layer appropriately
Put dark colors on first and add light colors over them.
Go with vertical over horizontal
Patterns that go up and down will make you look thinner than ones that go side to side and seem to make you appear wider.
Get pants that have the side seams visible from the front
If the seams that run down your legs can be seen by someone standing directly in front of you, looking at you head on, you will appear smaller than you actually are.
Choose mid-rise jeans
While it may seem tempting to go for low-rise, you'll likely end up with muffin top. However, if you choose mid-rise jeans, they'll fit better and conceal more of the dreaded fat that you are trying so hard to hide.
Keep your lower half all one color
Choose the same color pants, nylons and shoes if you want to look thinner.
Choose dark bottoms to hide your tummy or hips
Go with black or dark blue slacks or shorts and pick a brighter color top if you're trying to divert the attention from your lower half.
Wear the right style skirt
If you have a bigger bottom, stay away from A-line dresses and skirts and go for something that is more fitting. And, if you want to appear taller, don't go with something that is any longer than just below the knee.
Choose the right cut neckline
If you want to draw attention to your hips, go for a v-neck top. However, if you want eyes to focus on your face instead of your body, go for a straighter, less dramatic neckline or one that has a pattern that draws attention.
Pick a shirt color that accents your eyes
If your shirt makes your eyes pop, it takes the focus off your body parts that you're not overly excited about.
Lengthen your torso
If you are trying to elongate your midsection, either wear something that cinches you right below the chest or choose separates that meet around your hip area.
Choose the right shoes
Skin tone shoes make you appear taller. So if you want to add some height to your frame, aim for a pair of tan heels. (Only do this if your nylons are skin tone or you're going with bare legs.)
If you have thick ankle areas or calves, go for a thicker heel. But, if you have smaller, more defined feet and lower legs, feel free to stick with smaller, more petite heels.
And, pay attention to how your shoes look from the front. Some shoes have a way of making you look shorter (like strappy shoes) and some make you look taller (like open fronts or sandals) so check it out in a mirror before making your selection.
Use jewelry accordingly
If you want to highlight your neckline, choose a chunky necklace or dangly earrings. If it's a longer looking body you're after, get a necklace that drapes down to your waist to elongate your midsection.
Consider a belt
If you have a nice waist, accentuate it with a belt. It will show off your hourglass figure easily and effectively.
Accessorize with the right handbag

Hi and thanks for visiting my RedBubble page. Please look around. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Landscape and contemporary architecture are my thing. While I will always enjoy creating 'portraits' of notable buildings I particularly like using contemporary architecture as a source for abstract architectural art. I also enjoy landscape photography. The process of searching for a special location and lighting effect is always a joyful challenge but holds the seeds of frustration if mother nature doesn't perform. Every now and again I try portraiture.
Capturing a photograph is just the start. Post processing has limitless possibilities. It enables a personal interpretation of one's images and ultimately, the creation of a personal style.

Best hostel I've stayed at!! It rather felt like a hotel than a hostel. The rooms are huge, the beds super comfy and everyone has his own plug and lamp. I've stayed in a 8-mixed dorm which had two showers. Every single guest was nice and friendly. It's only 5 minutes away from a nice part of the beach and not too far from the Ocean Drive. If you like a drink at night you definitely don't want to miss the bar next to the pool. Only negative: Kitchen=microwave, Everglades-tour is quiet a rip-o

People Like Us -- the documentary series about people, like us.
In 1999 and 2000, and again from 1995 to 1997, the BBC's Roy Mallard travelled across Britain documenting the everyday lives of ordinary citizens--people like us--for a documentary series with the odd title People Like Us, to show that these everyday peoples' ordinary lives are indeed just like ours, or us, and we, like theirs, or them.
Sample episodes in the series: Actors 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 / a Vicar 1 • 2 • 3 / Freelance Photographer 1 • 2 • 3 / The Pilot Episode, which turned out to be the final episode 1 • 2 • 3 / [Wikipedia] [more inside]

Life is beautiful. For some of us, more than others. Ah, fishing.
In the early 1990s, John Lurie videotaped his vacations with William Dafoe, where they did their own comedic re-interpretation of an early-morning fishing show. From this tape (or possibly so his fishing trips could be tax write-off), Fishing with John was born. The show is a series of six episodes (segmented on YouTube), each at a different location with a different fishing friend (though Lurie's trip through the Andaman Sea with Dennis Hopper spans the last two episodes). The show, called by some fishing as performance art, is pared with a soundtrack that is a mix of sounds, part Lurie's band The Lounge Lizards (discography), part overly dramatic .. something.

Behind the scenes during a Japanese election
Campaign is a documentary by Kazuhiro Soda. The film follows the 2005 election campaign of political novice Kazuhiko Yamauchi: In the film he's scolded all the time and people chew him out and he is generally humiliated, constantly, but he remains optimistic and he never speaks ill of other people. He's sincere, but maybe too honest. He didn't hide the fact that he was a political novice and a "parachute candidate". I think it's quite rare to see a person who wants to be a politician and who's that honest and sincere. [more inside]
