Movie News
Is Ben Affleck in Terrence Malick's next flick? Could be...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now, Terrence Malick's an Austin boy and we totally claim him. But he grew up in Bartlesville, OK and has been prepping his next film there for quite a while. There have been sightings of Christian Bale in association with this Untitled Film for a long time now. It's an unusually quick turnaround for Malick. He's still tinkering with Tree of Life, but considering this guy is positively Kubrickian in the long periods of time between projects the fact that he's working on another flick now is kind of mind-blowing. There's not much going on in Bartlesville, so when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner turned up, touring the same locations Bale and Malick did for the upcoming film, they caused a bit of a stir. Affleck told a local at a local Bass Pro shop he's preparing to play a fisherman in a film to lens in the city that fall and bought some fishing rods and lures. The Film Commission isn't confirming anything, but I think it's a safe bet we'll see Affleck in a Terrence Malick movie. Or maybe it's Jennifer Garner. What a twist! The flick is said to star Bale, Javier Bardem, Olga Kurylenko and Rachel McAdams and was described at the Berlin Film Market as a "powerful and moving love story." Affleck could be joining the cast or replacing an existing cast member. While the movie is said to begin filmming this fall there are rumblings that it might already be filming. As per usual with Malick's films there's a thick shroud of secrecy surrounding the project, but nobody's really talking about this particular development yet so I figured you guys would want a heads up at what might be on the horizon. I think Affleck could be a good match with Malick personally. What about you guys? Thoughts? -Quint firstname.lastname@example.com Follow Me On Twitter

And The Town looks okay but every scene shown has vibes of other movies, including The Dark Knight.

Casey would be acceptable
by TheUmpireStrokesBach
Ol' Barney Affleck should stay behind the camera from now on. He just can't really carry a movie in my opinion. And he's had more than his fair share of chances to prove that already. Not sure I wanna hear this guy butchering some classic Malick-ian voice-over for close to three hours...it kinda scares me actually.

Malick.... his films are always cinematographically interesting, but yet... cold.... I'm never moved by his characters.... I think he's a mediocre filmmaker who has a wonderful grasp on composition with the camera yet he doesn't seem to care much about story.... meh.

I hope this isn't becoming a new thing with him...
by BoStrike1
Colin Farrell did his damndest to pull The New World down around him. At least Ben has Shakespeare in Love in his credits, so thats one more good performance than Farrell has given us, but I'm still very skeptical. The casting of Farrell in TNW has always been a real oddity for me. I hope this doesn't turn into a similar situation.
Aug. 12, 2010, 6:38 a.m. CST
Please point me toward this redeeming film
by TheUmpireStrokesBach
I'm honestly not sure which one you would be thinking of. STATE OF PLAY maybe? He was okay in that one I guess. But honestly, that one had Crowe to anchor it. He's best as a supporting player or director IMHO. Leading man? Not so much.
As far as DiCaprio, I'm not really a huge fan of him either. He still just looks like a 19 year old making mad face all the time.
Norton can carry a fucking film though. Would much rather see him up for whatever this part is. Didn't he mention meeting with Malick recently when him and Tim Blake Nelson had lunch with Harry (or one of the other guys)during SXSW?

Is this where we part ways?
by Mr Gorilla
For me, Malick really IS a visionary director. But right now people are saluting Edgar Wright as our most visionary new director, and some guy above is slagging off Malick because there's not enough 'memorable dialogue'. (I suppose the lack of memorable dialogue is why some idiots don't realise that Barry Lyndon is just as good as Kubrick's other movies.) Not to say that Wright isn't talented - he is, very - but, man, this is depressing.
Aug. 12, 2010, 6:45 a.m. CST

by Bodacious_Crumb

by Mr Lucas
Thunderbolt Ross is right - Affleck is OK playing assholes (see Mall Rats), but that's the total extent of his 'talent'.
 Shakespeare in Love was terrible though. He spent the whole shoot swaggering around like a big cock, while being soppily stuck to Paltrow. (John Madden called them 'Benneth'). The film sucked too.

That use of the word lens is directly from the photographers themselves, both still and cinematic. Film buffs did not start it. Perhaps some film buffs use it as a way to sound like they know what they're talking about, but on a forum, how can you routinely tell who's a film maker/photographer or not?

Those people who can't see emotion in Malick's films
by DannyOcean01
It's because you're emotionally stunted. You're after those sappy, clappy rom-coms that literally bombard the audience with reasons to weep into their popcorn. Just because you're paying for the experience doesn't mean you don't need to make a little effort and engage. Malick's got one of, if not the best control over environment. He's obsessed with nature and the planet, and our interaction with it. How can that not be emotional? The Thin Red Line is a long, measured movie, but how can you not be moved by the soldier's return to the village they had been accepted by before Guadalcanal, only to find they were now unfamiliar, unwanted, basically outcasts.

If you want a film to bomb, go get Affleck. Nobody wants to see this guy, except for a few Kevin Smith fanboys on this site. It was a failed experiment when alot of the leading men actors were getting to old, and they didn't have anybody for a couple of years. That's it.

You said it, buddy. How could you possibly say these movies are 'cold'. I watched THE NEW WORLD with my wife and we both had tears streaming down our faces for most of the running time. It all felt so intense, so immediate, so deeply felt - and so sad. But, as you say, never sentimental. That last shot of Farrell, by the sea, so perfectly illustrated his state. Rather than forcing emotion down your gullet, it let the emotion well up from within you. It was a magnificent film. THIN RED LINE too.

When I wrote 'how could you possibly say the movies are cold' I meant the other guy, of course, not you DannyOcean.

I loathe Ben Affleck. Not really his acting abilities or anything, he's serviceable, but I really just can't stand his FACE. And nothing's ever going to change that. Let us pray this is false information, or, if he IS to appear in Malick's next, that he winds up used in the same capacity that Billy Bob Thornton and Viggo Mortensen were used in Thin Red Line.

Ben Affleck namedropped Malick in GONE BABY GONE
by BadWaldosRevenge
ending credit, in "thanks" part. Either he namedropped or Malick "mentored" him. Whatever the case, Ben is still a hack actor. He should feel lucky that he became a successful, highly-paid actor after a crappy minimum wage job washing dishes at a restaurant when he was a young 'un. Terry should not direct Ben, but then again, he also directed another fellow former dishwasher Jared Leto. Maybe Terry should expand his talent search at restaurants to find fresh-faced male dishwashers to spit-and-shine into actors.
Quoted from macheesmo 3 "i DON'T GET THE LOVE
 Malick.... his films are always cinematographically interesting, but yet... cold.... I'm never moved by his characters.... I think he's a mediocre filmmaker who has a wonderful grasp on composition with the camera yet he doesn't seem to care much about story.... meh."

 Are you talking about Malick or Chris Nolan, because that's exactly how I feel about Norton. I think Malick's films are far more intelligent and emotional than Norton's which are just too technical to the point of being robotic.
Aug. 12, 2010, 5:27 p.m. CST
by enderandrew
He has done way too many bad movies admittedly, but he was very good in Chasing Amy. And he has done a good job as a director.
School Ties, Good Will Hunting (he won an Oscar), Shakespeare in Love, 200 Cigarettes, Boiler Room, Sum of All Fears, Hollywoodland, etc. He has his fair share of decent roles. I don't understand all the hate.

by macheesmo3
I havn't seen The New World so i can't comment on it's emotional quality. I just find his films beautiful yet boring and/or pretentious (cmon Thin Red Line was a pretentious bore) as far as Nolan goes... I think it depends on the film. I thought it worked in the Batman movies because thats kinda how batman himself is. Havn't seen inception yet. I thought The Prestige suffered a bit from his technical style, yet it enhanced Insomnia and Memento. I think he chooses projects that match his style pretty well. Malick (a talented filmmaker I'm not saying he sucks or anything) seems to be more engaged with the environment than he is with his characters...YMMV

macheesmo3 - Malick's films are stunningly earnest.
by The_Genteel_Gentile
The opposite of pretentious.
 Boring? Thin Red Line is deeply resonant on a metaphysical level. Achingly poignant. To me that's enthralling not boring.
 This Red Line is about as truthful and brilliant as filmmaking gets. It speaks so powerfully to the human condition that you have got to be a desensitized to the point of zombie not to feel that film within your very soul. In my estimation that makes TRL the most realistic war film ever made.
 But I'll tell ya what, let's drop you on Guadalcanal roundabouts '43 and see how long it takes you to start questioning God and nature and get all existential in your thinking whilest trying to stop the slow progession into madness.
 This is not poetry, this is the tramatized mind's lyrical attempts at trying to assaign some semblance of order to it all.
 The audience is becomeing privy to the inner most heightened musings, fears, desires and hopeless prayers of a bunch of shocked and weary human beings.
 That's not "pretentious". That's spiritual.
 Boring indeed.

Why are people comparing Tree of Life to Inception?
by Derrida77
Tree of Life is supposed to be a family drama starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn about a son and his relationship to his father with two different time-lines. Are people still into the rumour that Tree of Life is some kind of sci-fi flick? I thought that story was debunked ages ago.

I was in combat.Not one time did I drift off into meta-physical wankery. I was a little more concerned about staying alive. There was nothing "truthful" about that film at all. It was beautifully shot and was well acted. But the endless drivel and attempt to be "poetic" was pretentious crap. It's one of the first movies I actually wanted to leave the theater in the midst of. I'm not some short attention span fanboy either. I've seen everything from Eisenstein and Keaton to Bela Tarr.... I just wasn't impressed with The Thin Red Line. If it speaks to you... that's great. But it's psuedo-poetry and presumptive approach to the thoughtsof combat soldiers was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

macheesmo3 - Well we agree on Apocaypse Now.
by The_Genteel_Gentile
One of my all time favorite films... along with Thin Red Line.
 But here's the thing; When your walking through an near eutopia of lush untouched land that's now been scarred by the ravages of war, with seemingly endless periods in which to ponder what the point of it all is, then I'd think a man would indeed began to drift outside of himself and endevor to find a reason. Through this process I'm sure many enternal questions would spring. And if such a man were to come from a country based on puritan values and was at all religeous, then he may find that he has a few qualms with God that he'd like to hammer out whilest waiting to die. Especially in that war, in that land, with those era of men. This is when men still spoke earnestly without hint of irony. Judging by their war letters home, I do believe those lyrical wonderings would represent the sentiments and thoughts of those men.
 And all one need be to understand them is to be human. Which is what you're hearing; people trying to remain human in the midst of dehumanising circumstances.
 Maybe your inability to relate is a generational thing. Everyone nowdays are godless douchbags right? I'm not saying that's the case, mind you, just a crude speculation on my part.
But I do respect and commend you for your service sir. So bravo and go with God.

I reach home from office this noon. On the menu is Chicken curry and rice. The brat, I am informed by daadi, has already had his lunch. Hunger having been accelerated one presumes by. the avian protein in the offing. Daadi, after a recent rather severe bout of food poisoning, has sworn off all protein, including the avian.
The brat pulls my ear down to his lips. "I wantu tell you somethink."
Please go right ahead, I urge him in the gravest tones.
He lowers his voice to a whisper. "I keeped one leg piece fer yu. Eat it." I hugged him, recognising the enormity of this sacrifice. Knowing well he drums up a riot if not given drumsticks. "Thank you love. I think I'll keep it for Pappa," I replied, knowing I wasn't hungry enough for a huge drumstick.
"Wai? No you ead it!"
But, perhaps Pappa would like a leg piece too, I proffered hesitantly. He contemplated the possibility for a long moment, torn between the love for the mater and pater.
"Next time," he said, his voice grave, having reached an appropriate solution like the good king Solomon, "Ged a chikkin wid three legs."
Erm. Okay.

MF One
Snow = snowmobile sales. We had a lot of snow. That's as insightful as I will get.
Business run well. Creative management. New products. I'd like to smoke a peace pipe with the Indian.
The company has great product innovation and management.
More acquisitions in related products are increasing sales.
The new Indian motorcycle range is a winner for polaris
Motorcycle division should do well. Looks like there's lots of room for growth.
There are a lot of things to like with Polaris. My brother and brother-in-law, both of whom are interested in motorcycles and vehicles of all sorts, have much respect for the Polaris brand. The brand power of Polaris is significant and gives the company a competitive edge over the long run.
Not to mention some other positive developments:
Improving margins, cash outweighs debt more than 3-to-1, and the business is a strong cash flow generator. An experienced and innovative management team just sweetens the deal.
Although the stock is gracing all-time highs, the fact is that Polaris has the financial performance and long-term prospects to back up a P/E ratio of 28.
The bottom line: this strikes me as a quality business with a respectable following and brand power, impressive financial performance, and an innovative management team. If that isn't a recipe for a long-term market outperform, I don't know what is.
In the short-term, anything can happen. I'm not one for timing the market (some of my worst CAPS picks can confirm this). In the long run, business fundamentals are what count. Polaris has a strong business that should lead to market-beating returns over the next 5+ years.

Return on equity has been over 40% for the past five years and return on capital has been over 30% for the past five years. The company has performed very well, and the economy is just getting going.
Looking ahead, analysts project EPS growth of almost 17% for the next five years. Given their returns previously, this may be conservative. All their brands are growing faster than this except for their motorcycles, and those have been redesigned and have gotten good reviews.
Starting with this year's projected EPS of $5.39/share and growing earnings by 16% gets $24/share in earnings in 10 years. Assuming a P/E of 32, shares would be worth $760 or so. Discounted back at 15% gets me an intrinsic value of $190. At around $136 today, I'm getting a 28% discount. Not a bad deal. This should outperform the market for years.
Eamon and family pick for 11/13
Great leadership. Indian motorcycles will become more popular than Harley's in a decade or so.
This is another of my real-life holdings. One of my investment clubs also bought the stock, at my recommendation. So I hold shares in my personal account and in one of my investment club accounts.
Sales have grown almost 24% per year since 2009, and EPS has grown over 37% per year during that time. The profit margin has grown in each year since 2008. The earned-on-equity has been about 40% or more since 2006, so makes a decent return on average. The debt has been falling since 2008, so that is a good trend. The P/E is high. Higher than it has been in the past 5 years and double the average P/E during that time. The PEG ratio is reasonable, considering the historic growth rates. The stock pays a reasonable dividend, yielding almost 3%, and has raised the dividend in each of the past 5 years.
Assuming slower growth, I am expecting this stock to grow 50% over the next 5 years, to about $200 a share. With the dividend, that would give me a rate of return of about 10%. However, if the stock keeps growing at the rate it has over the past few years, and keeps increasing its dividend, then I could earn much more than that 10% a year, which is why I bought the stock in the first place, and bought it for less than it is now trading at. It is the expectation that growth will not slow as much as I based my purchase price on that I will hold this stock. If growth does slow down to below my expectations, then that would change my thesis on which I based my purchase and would force me to reevaluate my purchase. We'll have to wait and see how this trade turns out.
Changing My Caps to Reflect my investing strategy. I start with a simple screener trying to find undervalued dividend paying stocks. Then because I want to invest in things I understand I eliminate any businesses I have not heard of or in areas I lack knowledge ( Financials, Precious Metals). After that I check the Caps Rating and it gets a thumbs up if it is rated 4 stars or higher. Very few 3 star companies will get a thumbs up but occasionally i will go out on a limb with one.
I think Polaris is a winner and a solid pick for the next five years and beyond. It has a dedicated management team who has demonstrated their ability to run a company and effectively demonstrate their commitment to the iconic Indian brand that was and forever will be America's first motorcycle. They have a large generation of brand enthusiasts who are dedicated to seeing Indian and it's stewardship by Polaris succeed. Polaris is realistic in their expectations and has already stated there could be good times and bad times ahead, with certain factors out of their control and has priced their three Indian models accordingly which are priced close to similar models from Harley Davidson. This demonstrates they are not doing what previous companies trying to bring back the Indian brand have done by overpricing their inventory which proved to be a deal-breaker for most consumers and eventual doom for the brand. Polaris also has demonstrated that they're truly devoted to the Indian brand and not trying to put Harley Davidson out of business. They demonstrated this at this Summer's gathering at Sturgis which has been a Harley-focused event for years. Harley Davidson and it's customers took notice and responded positively to Polaris' bravery for unveiling their three models at Sturgis which earned the company a lot of respect. You see deep down, even Harley Davidson and it's enthusiasts desire to see the Indian brand succeed. Just watch the videos over at www.indianmotorcycels.com, some of which will be sure to bring a tear to the eye of anyone who is familiar with the lore and legacy of Indian, America's first motorcycle. I almost forgot to mention, Polaris is an American company that is devoted to keeping American workers employed in their factories instead of electing to have their Indian lineup built in China. If Polaris continues to support the Indian brand this way we can expect some great advances for their company and stock for many years to come!

I am wondering if popcorn is a feasible alternative to breakfast cereal for kids (provided they get a multi-vitamin to replace the supplementation found in most cereals). Popcorn has more carbohydrates, less sugar, and more fiber than most of the highly marketed kids' cereals. My child that prefers popcorn is very thin, but as long as he eats the same number of calories, would it be as healthy eating popcorn.
Grant Keiser - Cedar Rapids
Thanks for this interesting question.
First let's take a look at the nutritional value of one cup of air popped popcorn. This yields 31 calories, no fat, no sodium, 1 gram of fiber, 1 gram of protein and no calcium or iron. If butter or salt is added this would of course change the nutrient profile.
It is understandable that you may not want to serve your child high-sugar cereals, but alternatives such as Cheerios, Rice Krispies or Corn Chex, just to name a few, would be low sugar options. When fruit is added to these cereals, plus milk, your child would have a balanced breakfast. It is best to focus on three food groups per meal, therefore popcorn alone would not be advised.
The addition of a multivitamin is ok, though it is best to get nutrients from food when possible. If you child is still determined to have popcorn, add another two food groups to this and it would be more nutrient dense meal. Suggestions of foods to include; a banana, strawberries or other berries, milk, yogurt, or string cheese.
Hopefully this will help in making breakfast meal choices.
If you have any questions or problems always see your healthcare provider.

Another day, another frivolous lawsuit. Only the mom suing the Fox News Channel for airing footage of her husband's suicide that upset her children doesn't come across as your average money-hungry American. She sounds like a woman who is having a rough time, a mom who is protecting her kids.
Sadly, suing a TV news channel is too little, too late. Because JoDon Romero's kids didn't see his suicide on a television at all.
They saw it on YouTube.
Which, last I checked, is something that falls under a parent's purview ...
According to the lawsuit, Fox broadcast a police chase involving the father of three live, without a delay, during Studio B With Shepard Smith. They caught the moment when Romero got out of his car and shot himself.
More From The Stir: School Erases Suicide Victim From Yearbook As If He Never Existed
Soon, the video made the Internet, and Romero's kids caught wind of it at their high school. Unfortunately, the talk of a live suicide video didn't include names. So the Romero kids went home and all three -- ages 15, 13, and 9 -- sat down to watch.
I think we can all imagine what that was like for those poor kids, what every day since has been like for them.
I came thisclose to seeing a dear friend's body after he took his life, and more than a decade later, I can still remember every moment of that day. And I was an adult, he wasn't my father.
Their trauma is 10 times mine ... at least.
But while I feel for the family, I have trouble supporting a lawsuit against a TV station for something that really comes down to parenting.
She let her kids have unfettered access to YouTube, and she wants a TV network to pay for that?
Sorry, but being a sympathetic victim doesn't make you right.
The kids ARE probably traumatized by this unfortunate incident, but after the network aired the suicide, it was Mom's job to keep her kids away from it. No doubt she was busy -- her husband did just die -- but even busy parents need to be parents.
And when we fall down on the job, we have to suck it up and accept that it's our own faults -- not the rest of the world's.
When our kids run into things on the Internet that they went looking for, on purpose, while we weren't looking, that isn't someone else's fault. That's ours. Ours for not policing their Internet use or at least having a good long talk about what they SHOULD and should not be doing on the Internet.
I do feel bad for the Romero kids. They just lost their dad and in one of the most tragic of ways. But this lawsuit should fail, and its failure should send a very loud message to parents who don't bother to check up on their kids on the web.
There's a wild world out there that your kids can log on to. It's up to you to protect them.
What do you make of this lawsuit? Is it the network's fault or mom's?
Image via espensorvik/Flickr
It's no one's fault. The news station was doing their job, and the mother can not control what their kids watch on youtube at school at a friends or a relatives. She can not control what is put on TV. The kids could have easily saw it on the news. How dare you place blame on the mother. Is she suppose to hover over her kids 24/7? Is she suppose to not allow them access to the outside world? Those kids could have watched it at a friends house, a tv somewhere else, anywhere. Whaat if she was at work? Is she suppose to quit her job to protect them from the truth?The mother is not to blame for her kids wanting to look it up themselves. 2 of which are old enough to know what they were about to see.
She is suing the wrong people and I do think she's doing it out of grievance and not for the money.
They were following a police chace with the helicopter which is standard procedure with a high speed chase, they had NO clue he was going to do that and they shut the camera off immediatley when he shot himself. WTF are kids that age doing searching out a suicide video in the first place? That is disturbing to me, and while it's sad they lost their father, he was a CRIMINAL who KILLED himself, leaving his kids fatherless forever, because he didn't want to go to jail. Those kids need counseling, but not just for seeing the video. They need counseling to find out why they WANTED to watch a suicide video in the FIRST place.
I think it was wrong that this was put on Youtube without permission or warning to the family first. But when it really comes down to it, it ultimately is the Mom's fault that the kids were allowed to view things like this on the internet. I don't think sueing is right.
Totally agree with Katie. Even if the kids hadn't seen it, it was still wrong to have allowed that to be on TV. It was totally irresponsible of Fox News and they should be held responsible.

Hey, I'm fairly new to programming as a whole and I was wondering to what exactly qualifies as "base code" or a "Code Library"? I'm aware of the obvious ones that are available publicly such as Flixel, Box2D, ect. I'm more concerned about the personal libraries. For example, would an A* pathfinding system qualify as either of those?

Wait time for Apple's 2TB BTO iMacs improves to 2-4 weeksCustom-built iMac desktops with 2-terabyte hard drives now have a shipping estimate of 2 to 4 weeks, suggesting Apple has seen its stock of high-capacity hard drives improve.
AppleInsider was first to report a week ago that Apple's build-to-order iMacs with 2TB hard drives had an estimated shipping time of 5 to 7 weeks. Though Apple didn't comment on the situation, the lengthy and uncharacteristic delay was potentially the first sign of the company being hit by a lingering global hard drive shortage.
But just a week later, shipping times for 2TB iMacs have already improved to between 2 and 4 weeks, indicating that any hard drive shortage seen by Apple may be short lived.
While shipping times have improved, there is still quite a bit of a delay with an estimated 2 to 4 week shipping time. For example, a custom-built iMac with a 256GB solid-state drive has a shipping estimate of just 2 to 4 business days.
Apple's shipping time for desktops with higher-capacity hard drives may be a result of flooding in Thailand, which has caused disruption in the hard drive supply chain, including Western Digital and Seagate. About 14,000 factories have been shut down and more than 600,000 people were put out of work by the devastating floods.
Western Digital announced last week that it had resumed hard drive production in Thailand. But industry watchers expect the industry-wide hard drive shortage to linger well into 2012.
Just this week, IHS predicted that the flooding in Thailand would cause a shortfall of nearly 4 million total PC units in the first quarter of calendar 2012. The research firm also reduced its projected total PC sales in 2012 from 399 million to 376 million, partly due to the hard drive shortage, as well as weakening demand.
On Topic: iMac
- Apple rumored to launch 27" iMac with 5K Retina display at October media event
- Apple's next product splash slated for second half of October
- Rumor: Apple could launch new 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display this fall
- Another Apple page briefly mentioned mysterious 'mid-2014' 27-inch iMac
- Apple's focus on value in 2014 has sent Mac sales surging

So, I want to introduce you to two characters. On the left is Claire Augustus from Jeph Jacques' webcomic Questionable Content and on the right is Alysia Yeoh from Gail Simone's Batgirl. These two have a great deal in common, stemming from the fact that both characters are transgendered. Both were create with a deliberate eye to improving the representation of transpeople in the media and I think its eerie how similar the methodologies of both Simone and Jacques are in this regard.
I think the thing that interests me the most about these characters is the fact that their sexuality is not the main focus of their character. Both are written as well rounded individuals who, incidentally, happen to be trans. The fact that they are trans is not played for conflict in any way, and in both "coming out" issues, the respective protagonists in each series take the character's gender in stride. In Alysia's case, the character is a "civilian" in a superhero book, which I understand was a very deliberate choice by the author. Furthermore, neither character is illustrated in a way that differentiates them from the cis females in the same book. These characters look to represent transpeople in a very human way. Again, it's refreshing to see a representation that does not focus on the sexuality of the character in question.
That having been said, these characters do frustrate me a little. While on the one hand they represent very character driven portrayals, I'm concerned with how insignificant their genders are to their stories as a whole. Both authors use "coming out" as a trope to solidify the friendship between the protagonist and the trans side character. However, beyond this, these characters' trans status is not used for any other sort of development. These characters could very easily be replaced by cis characters without dramatically affecting the narrative of the stories they appear in.
So, on the one hand I do appreciate that both authors have put tremendous effort into creating realistic trans characters. And, I admit, I like the idea of portraying trans characters without making their gender the defining aspect of the character. At the same time, neither series has thus far meaningfully delved into what it means to be trans. We haven't seen either character deal with gender dysphoria, discrimination, transphobia or any of the other struggles that transpeople face.
Representation is a tough nut to crack and I do think that both Jacques and Simone deserve a great deal of praise for these characters. This isn't meant to be overly critical. I think that the point I want to make is that these sorts of representational struggles represent a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sort of situation. I suspect I would be just as disappointed if Batgirl became a supporting character in her own book so that Alysia's struggles as a transwoman could take center stage.
In the end, I think the secret is diversity. While works of the sort that Simone and Jacques are producing help, we need writers to tackle trans related issues in a variety of ways. After all, I do not think that the issue is that there are not enough LGBT characters in the media; the problem is that most LGBT characters fall into one or two predictable roles. So I think that the key is to broaden the diversity of said characters, which is exactly what these two are doing.
There was one comic where Babs had to go get Alysia out of jail and it's a distinct possibility that she was stuck in...

Yes..... This new break had nothing to do with the old one other than that plate protected his old injury and it happened close to it. Like you said this could happen anytime and had nothing to do with the old break.

Parents are in shock after receiving xrated novely sweets at a Mother's Day function.
Chocolates shaped like penises, breasts and buttocks were handed out at a P&C function held for Mother's Day at Woodberry Public School.
A Department of Education and Communities spokesman said the school's administration was not aware beforehand of the explicit nature of the handouts.
"The school says that the 'gifts' were prepared by parents, for parents, and the school had no knowledge of them until some of the mothers complained," he said.
Oh dear! I do think there is a time and place for novelty choccies.
What would you have done if you were handed an xrated treat at your child's school?
thts just tasteless surly the PNC would of seen these
I would've laughed. Meh, it's made by adults for adults so what's the big deal?
It would sure be a speechless Mother's Day treat!
They're chocolate right? Gulp.....gone......what chocolate?
Probably would've giggled like a school girl and quickly hid them so the kids didn't see them. I guess overall I probably wouldn't have been too impressed receiving them from a primary school Mother's Day event though... You're right Tracy - There's a time and a place for novelty chocolates, and this wasn't it!

WASHINGTON -- The Minnesota Supreme Court cleared the way for Democrat Al Franken to become Minnesota's new U.S. senator, ending a festering eight-month election dispute and giving the Democrats a 60-seat voting majority in the Senate.
The court on Tuesday unanimously upheld Mr. Franken's margin of 312 votes out of 2.9 million cast in November's election, giving him the seat that had been held for one term by Republican Norm Coleman. Mr. Coleman conceded at a news conference at his home two hours later, saying he would heed the court's finding.
The dramatic 8-month election dispute for Minnesota's Senate seat has finally ended, favoring newcomer Al Franken. Naftali Bendavid discusses the implication of Al Franken's ascension to the Senate.
The Democrats' enhanced majority could enable them to bypass Republican filibusters, easing the passage of sweeping health-care and climate-change bills. But that dominance is tenuous, given that the party is showing fractures over those and other issues.
What's more, Democratic Sens. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Robert Byrd of West Virginia are seriously ill and have rarely voted in recent weeks. In addition, Democrats are prone to defections on any given issue. Ultimately, then, the balance of power in the Senate lies with centrists in both parties who can be swayed on particular bills.
In a sign of Mr. Franken's likely importance, he will have positions on the Senate's health committee as well as the judiciary committee, which this month will hold confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
Tuesday's 32-page ruling employed matter-of-fact language. "We affirm the decision of the trial court that Al Franken received the highest number of votes legally cast and is entitled ... to receive the certificate of election as United States senator from the state of Minnesota," the justices wrote.
In his concession, Mr. Coleman, widely considered a potential candidate for governor, said, "We have reached the point where further litigation would damage the state." Polls show Minnesotans growing increasingly impatient with the dispute.

Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty said he would certify the result Tuesday. Had Mr. Coleman not conceded, Mr. Pawlenty would have faced a tough choice: certify Mr. Franken and anger rank-and-file Republicans, or refuse and run afoul of his state's courts. Mr. Pawlenty is considered a likely presidential contender.
Mr. Franken, who will be in place when Congress reconvenes Monday, acknowledged the narrowness of his win, saying, "I won by 312 votes, so I really have to earn the trust of people who didn't vote for me and all the people of Minnesota, and let them know -- not just by my saying so, but by my actions -- that I will be working for every Minnesotan."
Democrats increased their Senate tally to 58 in November's election and in April, Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter's switch from Republican to Democrat made it 59-40. Now, Democrats have the 60th vote necessary to overcome procedural obstructions. But fault-lines among liberals and the rising number of moderates in the caucus will have to be bridged on a range of issues, including high-priority issues such as easing union organization and revamping health care.
The union measure, known as "card check," has already foundered. Divisions are emerging on health care in the Senate, where liberals don't have the votes to secure legislation that would create a government-backed insurance plan. Instead, centrists led by Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana aim to pass a bill with Republican support.

Centrist Democrats also worry about the impact that legislation combating climate change would have on businesses and consumers.
Sen. Evan Bayh, an Indiana Democrat, said 60 votes is "symbolic," but it won't change the political dynamics significantly. "There are no tectonic plates that have shifted here," he said.
Mr. Franken himself said Tuesday that "Sixty is a magic number, but it isn't. We have Republicans who will vote with a majority of Democrats on certain votes, and Democrats who will vote with a majority of Republicans on others."
Mr. Franken's politics, while indisputably liberal, aren't entirely predictable. He didn't oppose the Iraq war at the outset. He has been close to the military, performing for U.S. troops in Iraq. He opposed the $700 billion financial-services bailout, and acknowledges that a single-payer health-care system -- supported by many progressives -- isn't feasible in today's political climate.
"I think that on paper it looks pretty good," Ron Bonjean, a communications strategist who worked for several Senate Republicans, said of the 60-vote tally. "But the reality is Democrats are going to have to have bipartisan legislation that they move through the Senate. That's where Republicans will remain relevant."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid greeted Mr. Coleman's concession with relief. But Mr. Reid still faces challenges, and a spokesman for the Nevada Democrat cautioned "it's not like we're just going to be able to jam our agenda through."
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who is spearheading the Republicans' Senate campaigns, said the 60-vote majority means Democrats can no longer blame the minority for being obstructionist.
After November's election Mr. Coleman was declared the victor by 206 votes. The razor-thin margin triggered a recount, which flipped the results and gave Mr. Franken a win by 225 votes.
Mr. Coleman challenged the result in the Minnesota courts. In April, a three-judge panel, after examining a series of absentee ballots, affirmed Mr. Franken's victory and increased his margin to 312, a ruling the Supreme Court upheld Tuesday.

This Mediterranean-style chicken stew gets its rich and savory flavor from garlic, cumin, and turmeric. The chicken is cooked with tomatoes and green olives and topped with toasted almonds, making it a colorful and satisfying one-dish meal.
