Funny Moon Landing Hoax
July 20 marked the 46th anniversary of the moon landing, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin turned a new page in space exploration by landing and walking on the moon. There is a growing number of people, however, that consider July 20 to be the anniversary of the moon landing HOAX, especially in the light of the 2009 NASA statement that all original recordings of the moon landing (and that's over 700 boxes) were erased by mistake. Well, not to worry, folks, Freaking News is here to save the world yet again. Show any evidence that moon landing was a staged hoax. (Some examples could be showing the "uncut version" of the moon landing photos, showing it was a staged photo set.) Many thanks to skitterchick for the themepost.

Funny Loch Ness Hoax
Nessie (Loch Ness Monster) is one of the most valuable legends in tourism industry attracting over a million visitors a year to Loch Ness. While most of the photo and video evidence of Nessie turned out to be a hoax or wishful thinking, tens of thousands of Nessie-searching enthusiasts come to the Loch Ness lake every year with sophisticated video equipment hoping to catch Nessie on camera. Last Friday, British tabloid The Sun published the latest and the clearest photo of Nessie ever, taken by George Edwards, 60, who has spent 60 hours a week for the past 26 years searching for the mythical monster. In this contest you are asked to show how Loch Mess Monster hoax could have been created. Was it photoshop editing of swimming elephant, or perhaps a diver holding a puppet monster? Tell us your version of how Nessie might be created.

Funny JFK Hoax
Yesterday, news-breaking celebrity gossip site TMZ fell for the JFK photo hoax, calling it a discovery of the century that "could have altered the world events, had it come to light early". A private collector sold TMZ the so-called "lost photo" of President John F. Kennedy supposedly sunning himself on the deck of a pleasure craft outfitted with at least four undressed women. Prior to its news-breaking article, TMZ had two Kennedy biographers and one forensic professor examine the photo and they all confirmed - it is real. Too bad it turned out to be just another hoax. Otherwise, it "could have altered the world events", had it surfaced prior to JFK's presidential campaign. Obviously TMZ is disappointed that the "lost photo" of JFK, that they paid loads of money for, turned out to be a hoax and made TMZ look like a joke yesterday. To cheer them up, let's give them dozens more of JFK photo hoaxes for free. Photoshop John F. Kennedy unexpectedly appearing on any photos from the past and the present.

Will Justin Rose Rise Again at 2008 British Open?
Justin Rose will forever have wonderful memories of Royal Birkdale, where he made a sensational impact as an amateur in the 1998 British Open Championship. Rose had a fourth place finish, just one stroke behind Tiger and just two behind Mark O'Meara and Brian Watts. O'Meara went on to win in a playoff. Rose's 45-yard pitch into the hole for birdie at his last hole is considered one of, or the most memorable, shot in British Open history.
In the ten years following, Rose has had his struggles, but he is now a contender for any tournament including this years 2008 British Open Championship.

Would Ewan McGregor Be Game To Direct The Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie? Here's What He Says
By Eric Eisenberg published 19 October 16
Ewan McGregor hasn't been shy about his desire to do more on the big screen as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Now that the Star Wars franchise is back in a big way and producing non-saga movies, the door seems wide open for the project to happen, and the actor has expressed thoughts on exactly what he would want it to be about. Clearly he's more than game to re-enter that world as an actor -- but now that he's made his directorial debut with American Pastoral, we imagined another possibility: could Ewan McGregor actually helm an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie himself?
I had this query in mind when I sat down to talk with the actor-cum-director at the Los Angeles press day for American Pastoral last week. After discussing how he chose what project he would make as his directorial debut as well as directing himself as an actor, I asked Ewan McGregor what he thought of the idea of actually making the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie himself. It turns out that it was the first time that anybody had put the possibility in his mind, and it surprised the hell out of him:
Oh my god, I never thought of that! Well, there you go! I don't know. I literally never thought of that before. I've always said when people ask me about it, that I'd be up for doing it, of course. I'd like to play Obi-Wan Kenobi again, and I've always thought there's got to be a great story between the last one I made [Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge Of The Sith] and Alec Guinness' one here. So I've always said that I'd be up for that, but you're the first person to suggest that I might direct it! Just have a word with Disney.
In this day and age, it certainly wouldn't be revolutionary for a filmmaker who has never made a blockbuster be hired for a major one. Just within the last few years we've seen filmmakers like Joe and Anthony Russo, Marc Webb, Colin Trevorrow, James Gunn and Gareth Edwards get a crack at blockbuster action -- and the results have been surprisingly good on the whole. Ewan McGregor certainly made it sound like he would be game for the task of making an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, but we'll have to wait and see if that could actually happen.
You can watch Ewan McGregor's humorous response to my question in the video below:
You can be sure that we'll have more news for you about the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie as it (potentially) develops, and in the meantime Ewan McGregor's American Pastoral will be available in limited release starting this Friday, October 21st.

Today's 10 "sludgiest" political figures.
Welcome to the third installment of our new biweekly Sludge newsletter to let you know about the most swampy (or, as we like to say, sludgiest) characters in politics!
I'm senior investigative reporter Alex Kotch, and I'll be hosting this SLUDGE REPORT.
Here is our top 10 list of the sludgiest political figures in the last two weeks.
Ryan only left Congress a few months ago, but he's already taken a board seat at the restructured Fox Corporation, the media giant that owns the GOP's favorite cable news channel, Fox News. On March 11, eight days before the Ryan announcement, New Yorker investigative reporter Jane Mayer published a typically masterful long read about how Fox News has essentially become a propaganda organization for the Trump administration.

If you rely on direct mail to bring in business, you've probably had a bumpy ride the last couple of years. There are signs the economy is starting to rebound, but it's still a little scary out there.
I don't recommend you run and hide as some businesses are doing now, but I do recommend a little caution when mailing.
Just as customers are more prone to avoid risk in these uncertain times, you should try to avoid unnecessary risk in your marketing efforts. This is the perfect time to remind yourself of a few basic principles that drive direct mail marketing.
In general, direct marketing is not about creating markets but locating existing markets. It's a business-to-buyer avenue of selling that is streamlined, efficient and profitable—but only when a market wants what you are offering.
For example, a few decades ago only hard-core geeks would buy a computer by mail. Computers were neither understood nor wanted by the general public. Now, such purchases are common because a wide market exists.
No one cares about your widgets. What they care about are their own needs and wants. Bob doesn't want a drill, he wants a hole. Mary doesn't want a dress, she wants to look thin at the party this Friday. Alice doesn't want an investment newsletter, she wants to find a great investment that will let her retire at 45. Ted doesn't want a recipe book, he wants new ways to impress his friends at dinner parties and generate the compliments he thrives on.
Most direct marketers are number-crunching, logical people. It's easy for us to fall into a cold, left brain, bullet-pointed, 714-reasons-why type of sales pitch. However, people make decisions in the right brain based on emotion. Then they justify that decision with logic. To set up a sale, appeal to emotion first. Then, to close and confirm the sale, use logic.
A yes/no offer usually out-pulls offers without a no option.
A negative-option offer usually out-pulls a positive option offer.
An offer with a time limit usually out-pulls an offer with no time limit.
An offer with a free gift usually out-pulls discount offers, especially when the gift closely matches your prospect's self-interest.
Sweepstakes usually increase order volume, especially for impulse items (though sweepstakes customers will not be loyal).
The more involved you can get people, and the more they read, the greater your chance for success.
Envelope packages usually outpull self-mailers.
One of the primary reasons advertising fails is that ad creators often get caught up in a creative vision without having anything to say.
One agency has repeatedly sent me mockups of mailers and brochures with tiny blank spaces it wants me to fill in with copy. When I ask about the purpose of the piece or point out that the design should be based on what needs to be communicated, I am gently told to just write something the right length and everything will work out fine.
This is nonsense. Don't start with a "look," start with content. Allow your design to develop naturally from your copy.
a mechanism for responding to the offer.
Without each of these, you are not doing direct marketing but merely using a medium associated with direct marketing.
the two-step, where you generate inquiries and attempt to convert those inquiries into sales.
If your product is expensive, complex, new, hard-to-understand, or requires a major commitment of some kind, two-step sales may net you more profit in the long run than single shots.
I don't know if we'll ever again see the glory of direct mail days gone, but maybe that's a good thing. Maybe the market forces at work right now will encourage all of us to get back to direct mail basics and remind ourselves how to be more effective and efficient.

RUIZ. Madam Speaker, as an emergency physician I am deeply disturbed by the provisions in this legislation. The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act was signed into law in 2002. The pro-choice community did not oppose it, and it passed the House by a voice vote under suspension of the rules. It was consistent with the already high medical and ethical standards within the physician community.
[[Page H6147]] This new bill, however, is unnecessary and dangerous. It criminalizes physicians who make serious and compassionate decisions based on their deep desire to do what is best for the mother, her health, and life. It creates a police state and forces healthcare staffs that do not have medical training to inform law enforcement of their nonmedical questioning of a physician's sound judgment under the threat of prosecution and imprisonment. This also gives anti-choice lawyers the ability to bully, threaten, and harm a physician's reputation and practice.
Infanticide is already illegal in this country. This bill is highly intrusive to the patient-doctor relationship. Let's be clear. This is yet another attempt by anti-choice bully politicians to restrict a woman's right to choose and doctors' ability to provide sound, compassionate, and safe care for women. It is an aggressive, bullish scare tactic that puts the relationship of the woman and her physician in jeopardy and forces politicians in the middle of decisions that they have no business being involved in.
I agree with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other physician groups in opposing this legislation. I stand with the women across this great country that have continued to fight for decades to defend their legal right to choose.


Actress Bhanu Sree was quite unknown to the Telugu audience even though she acted in a handful of small budget films as a heroine. But, she got fame when she entered the Bigg Boss house. The actress entertained the audience with her typical Telangana slang during season 2 of the popular reality show.
After that, she was seen as a host in a couple of TV shows as well. Now, she is all set to enter the Tamil industry. According to the sources, Bhanu is playing the female lead opposite actor Jai in a Tamil film called Breaking News. Jai is known for his work in the film Journey.
Touted to be a fantasy action drama, this movie is being directed by Andrew Pandian. Apparently, the film chronicles the life of a common man turning into a superhero. Bhanu already flew to Chennai and started shooting for the film. Stay tuned for the more details about this film.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- A Pennsylvania man wanted on 865 counts of child rape has been caught by U.S. Marshals in Tallahassee.
Deputy Commander Marty West confirms that 46-year-old Garrick Landon Bloom was arrested without incident at the Kearney Center around 11 a.m. Thursday.
Bloom was wanted on warrants out of Shippenville, Pennsylvania. The warrants were signed on January 16, but Bloom fled the area before authorities were able to take him into custody.
The U.S. Marshals Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force says investigators located Bloom after receiving information on Thursday that he was possibly in the Tallahassee area.
Bloom is facing the following charges: rape of a child (216 counts), involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child (216 counts), aggravated indecent assault of a child (216 counts), statutory sexual assault (216 Counts) and endangering the welfare of a child.
According to authorities, Bloom is accused of committing the crimes on a 5-year-old boy whom he allegedly "groomed" for several years.
West says Bloom has been staying at the homeless shelter for the past two days and has no known ties to Tallahassee.
Bloom is being held in the Leon County Detention Facility pending extradition back to Pennsylvania to face the charges.

Stilwell, Part 2: In Perilous Times, Music is a Savior
James Scholz
INTERVIEW: Richard Stilwell
Chicago Lyric Opera
EM: Besides the Argento and Pasatieri premieres, you also debuted Lidholm's A Dream Play. Do you find performing new operas especially challenging, or enjoy singing something new
RS: Yes, challenging and exciting. A lot of repertoire you do over and over, while finding new things within those pieces, but something totally new is interesting. Certain contemporary operas are more challenging than others. Pasatieri's Seagull and Lidholm's Dream Play were quite tonal and great fun. I also did Pasatieri's Ines de Castro with Baltimore Opera. I was a good friend of Tom's and it was special having a piece written for you. He'd say, "Would you like a high 'G' here?" And I'd say, "Yeah, that'd be great." [Laughs]
EM: Nothing like knowing the composer.
RS: Argento's works, however, do present challenges. In addition to The Aspern Papers, which is more tonal, I also did his Voyage of Edgar Allen Poe at Chicago Lyric. That was a beast. Tough, quite atonal, but powerful, wonderful once learned. In that realm is the music of Unsuk Chin, a South Korean who's mostly lived in Europe, Germany. She wrote an Alice in Wonderland, which I learned for Geneva Opera late in my career. She had been a student of Ligeti, which may give you a clue as to her style. Very atonal, spiky, difficult. But once learned it was an exciting production. The style worked for this bizarre "mind trip" of this familiar tale. I was the King of Hearts [Laughs]. But I loved working with Argento, a wonderful man. I visited him several times in his home in Minneapolis. Great guy.
EM: You've also done recordings. The Met Bohème, for example.
RS: Magic in the air. The cast all loved working with Franco Zeffirelli. We knew it would be recorded and telecast "Live via Satellite." I adored working with Teresa Stratas, especially our 3rd act scene together. Such a terrific singer-actress. I remember seeing her in Mahagonny. I loved it. You really had to up your game when onstage with her. I think we fed off each other's characters very well. I also loved Carreras, who had done Bohème with me at NYCO in 1972 when he first came to the States. We got to know each other then. Being a part of that longest continually running production in the Met's history, that's pretty special.
EM: I was in the orchestra when Zeffirelli created it. People will always come to see it.
RS: Then singing on the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning Amadeus, another wonderful memory.
EM: Did you do Don Giovanni?
RS: Yes, and the Count in Figaro. [Sings] "Contessa, perdono." The director, Miloš Forman, wanted me to actually be in the movie. But I would have had to cancel an important Met contract. I asked him through my agent how much time was involved. He said, "We really have no idea." [Laughs] They ended up spending many months there in Prague. That was one regret that I couldn't be in it, but it still was amazing to have been part of that soundtrack. The Falstaff film with Götz Friedrich was probably the hardest project I'd ever undertaken. We recorded the soundtrack first with the Vienna Phil under Solti, then moved to these vast film studios in West Berlin to record the video. The singers had to lip sync to the soundtrack while creating the visual. It was tough coordinating, tedious work shooting from different camera angles several times a shot, 12 to 14 hours every day 7 days a week for 5 weeks. The final product turned out very well, We were all totally exhausted by the finish. But it was memorable. Gabriel Bacquier did Falstaff, another one of my vocal heroes.
EM: And Leppard's Il Ritorno d'Ulisse?
Guy Gravett
RS: That was special. The cast had just done 10 performances at Glyndebourne, then we took the train to London to record. Dear Flicka was Penelope. I was one lucky baritone regarding this opera, one of my favorites. In '73 I had made my debut at Glyndebourne singing Ulysses opposite Dame Janet Baker. From Baker to von Stade was a dream come true. Working with Peter Hall directing was just phenomenal. Music theatre at its best. I was even able to use my archery skills from when I was younger. There's a scene where Ulysses kills off the suitors. I had archery practice a couple of times a week. The production won all sorts of awards in England. The recording was nominated for a best opera recording Grammy in 1981. Pretty special.
EM: You've done quite a long stint at Chicago Lyric Opera.
RS: I performed in more productions with Lyric than any other house, like 15 seasons. Some all-time favorites like Gluck's Orfeo, a gorgeous production choreographed by the great George Balanchine. He actually choreographed me moving between the dancers—not dancing, mind you, that wouldn't work—but rhythmic walking, very special. I did the Hal Prince Butterfly production. He was wonderful to work with. He didn't do that many operas, but he created a wonderful production. I think it was shown on PBS's Great Performances. A Faust with the superstar cast of Mirella Freni, Nicolai Ghiaurov, and Alfredo Kraus, also televised. The Argento Edgar Allen Poe was a highlight, as was Sir David McVicar's Billy Budd, in which I sang Mr. Redburn. I did Ponnelle's Don Giovanni. I've always loved Chicago, Kerry's hometown. The teaching job at Chicago College of Performing Arts came from a phone call from my dear friend Judy Haddon, who still is teaching there. My singing career was slowly winding down. I decided to accept that part-time job, commuting between D.C. and Chicago. My in-laws lived nearby in Evanston. I stayed with them and assisted with their needs over the years. Payback for the generosity they had shown Kerry and me. Kerry's mother Barbara was one of my favorite people in the world. I adored her enough to write an extended epic poem about her, "Ode to Barbara." I recited it at her funeral. I was able to teach and be a family caregiver for 18 years. My colleagues were like family. David Holloway, Michael Best. Our Dean used to call the 4 of us his "Met Quartet." Through the years were many other teaching colleagues: Cynthia Clarey, Alan Glassman.
EM: Small world, opera. Are there any roles you haven't performed that you wish you had?
RS: Not many, in a career spanning almost 45 years, plus 18 years teaching. I was very fortunate. My other love is Broadway musicals. I did manage to squeeze in productions of South Pacific, Man of la Mancha, Kiss Me, Kate, Kismet.
EM: Is that all?
RS: [Laughs] I would have loved doing Sondheim's A Little Night Music, the role of Fredrik. That would have been a lot of fun. I missed out singing Wolfram in Tannhäuser, the only Wagnerian role I might have, or should have, done. I was contracted for a Peter Sellars production at Brooklyn Academy of Music. The funding was lost for some reason and the project was canceled. I've sung that aria many times. I missed out performing Papageno at historic Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. At that time, 1973, when I had my contract, Perón regained power in Argentina and nationalized the theatre. I received notice just weeks before my departure for South America that my contract was void and invalid because it was signed under the old regime. Perhaps it was just as well. People were being killed every day on the streets. Not such a good time to be there. There was political stuff going in Milano when I was there. The Communists were marching one day, the Fascists the next. The early 70s were really—we think about today, but looking back, lots going on.
EM: Overall, though, it sounds like you've gotten to do dream work.
RS: I've been really fortunate. No regrets.
EM: We've been lucky to see and hear you.
RS: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Szabo
EM: On a somewhat sobering note, could you talk about the effect that Covid-19 has had on you personally?
RS: Since I've been retired from the music world for a few years, Covid has not affected me musically. I've been quarantined with my wife, rarely venturing out. However, we have been frustrated in not being able to visit with our new 4 ½-month-old grandson, our one and only grandchild, who lives near San Francisco, to hold or cuddle him. Thankfully we can visit via FaceTime. That keeps us from going insane.
EM: And its effects on the music world in general?
RS: I get very emotional hearing sad stories of many colleagues who have lost jobs, forced to pick up and move or downsize just to pay rent and mortgage. Everyone is frightened and suffering, especially as the virus remains unchecked in much of the country. Very few are working at all. Those few who've gotten European contracts are being locked out because America has failed with protocol procedures. It's very grim, not only for opera but for all the arts. I do think things will turn around, but very slowly. We can only hope the damage will not be irreparable. We've suffered as a country the last 20 years but always rebounding. I used to do "Food for Thought" lectures and talked about the economic meltdown of 2009 and 9-11, about the importance of the arts at such times. What I said then applies to today's pandemic.
EM: Could you share that with us?
RS: It's this: "The world is in a perilous state with war, famine, flood and disease. It seems we're facing calamities of a Biblical nature. Our country is in crisis, which forces me once again to question the intrinsic worth of our simple endeavors to communicate a convincing message. What does it really matter how we relate a song and touch a heart? I honestly believe there is great worth in our efforts, even more so in perilous times…We strive to be artists creating pictures with our voices the way painters highlight and make shadows with their brushes. We strive to be poets with the text of a song, delivering a message which will touch the depths of the soul or create laughter, relieving tension brought on by such woes. We strive to be fine actors, creating space and time of another era. In that sense we become historical educators. Ultimately we render music to an audience of racial, cultural and ethnic differences, knowing the message we impart has none of these boundaries. In that sense we become ambassadors of the arts to all people." So if we have to do it virtually for a while, so be it. We must improvise and perform in any way possible while still remaining safe.
EM: We've all had some bad moments, but personally it's been music that's saved me.
RS: Absolutely. I'm listening to music more now than in many years, rediscovering things that I'd forgotten. There are some upsides to this craziness. Music is a savior.
EM: When this is all over, think how glorious it will feel to see our wonderful artists get up onstage and share their talents in the noble cause of music, having been deprived of it for who knows how long.
RS: I'm tearing up, thinking about it. This world is made better by music and the people who make music. It will come back.
EM: We have to have hope. And on that note, thank you, Richard, for so generously sharing your experiences and philosophies with us.
RS: Thank you so much, Erica.

Why "The Departed" Was Indeed the Best Picture

Daniel Roberts
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences should not allow external forces to influences its decisions, but it does. In 2005 Crash won Best Picture, despite the fact that Brokeback Mountain, Munich and Capote were all better movies with more outstanding performances and thought-provoking plotlines. Crash was just a jumbled soup of race-related events that tricked Academy voters into thinking it was boldly attacking a controversial issue.
Finally, this year, the film that was truly the "best" actually won the statue. No, The Departed did not attempt to make any grand, sweeping political statement, but focused only on keeping viewers enthralled. And yet that's a lofty enough goal—not all great movies need to do more than that. Scorsese perfected every aspect of filmmaking in this gem. The acting was stellar— I'm convinced that Leonardo DiCaprio is the best actor in Hollywood right now, and I also felt Mark Wahlberg should have snagged Best Supporting Actor. In addition, the movie captured Boston's collective "mood" like no other film ever has, except maybe for Mystic River. The dialogue was tense and concise, and there was never a dull moment.
Among many others, one particular moment comes to mind as representative of the film's excellence, and of its narrative complexity. Madolyn (Vera Farmiga) has opened up the envelope that Billy (DiCaprio), now dead, has given her. She pops in the audio CD while Colin (Matt Damon) is in the shower, and we watch her listen to the recording of Colin talking to Frank Costello (Nicholson) and plotting things. Madolyn doesn't even necessarily know about Frank or recognize his voice, but she's smart enough to be able to tell that something very bad is going on and that it has major implications about the man she's soon to marry (but clearly doesn't love). She doesn't know quite what to do—she can't freak out, since she realizes that she's now in danger. But she knows she must do something. It's a powerful scene, and one that suggests a popcorn action flick also needs good acting. This one has it, in spades. And this is to say nothing of other nail-biting, heart-wrenching moments like when Martin Sheen's character gets tossed from a building and Costigan must keep walking and not indulge his grief, or when Farmiga cries at Costigan's funeral and Colin sees it, realizes there was something going on.
I think a movie's value should be judged only by the movie itself, not by some outside influence, such as which hot current issue the film purports to deal with. The Departed was breathtaking and magnificent—and forget all that, it was just plain fun—and it was indeed the Best Picture of 2006.

Academy voters saw The Departed as fit to win its top prize this year, despite the fact that they had nominated two films (Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima and Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu's Babel) that were more ambitious, better-acted, better-directed and more meaningful than The Departed ever hoped to be. This is emblematic of a growing problem with the Academy Awards. The easy choice wins. The Academy rarely nominates and never selects as Best Picture those films that push the medium of film into uncomfortable, confusing, or innovative areas. It explains the horrifying absence of Todd Field's Little Children, Paul Greengrass' United 93, and David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE.
There is something wrong with the Academy Awards. I know that it's almost May and the Academy Awards happened two months ago, but the recent horde of releases that have "Nominated: Best Picture" emblazoned on their covers has made me think about these awards we call Oscars.
It got to me for several reasons, my belief that it wasn't actually the best picture being paramount among them. The ending of the film, specifically, is what threw the entire film off. I don't have a problem with Leonardo DiCaprio getting killed, or really any of the violence that takes over the last third of the picture. What bothers me is the way that it was done. The introduction of a second rat in the police department at the end felt like a deus ex machina.
I have been told by a friend whose film opinion I have a great deal of respect for that I'm not looking at the end of the film correctly. It's a tragedy, or so he says. I simply can't buy into that. In order for it to feel like a tragedy you have to care, at least a little, for the characters that meet their downfall by the time the curtains close. But Scorsese, for whatever reason, prefers to remain cold, with his camera keeping a perplexing distance from the characters. We don't move in close to feel the paranoia and loss of identity that comes with being a rat in a crime organization, or a mole in the police department. So, when these characters reach their demise, the audience doesn't have a single iota of feeling for them, because we weren't given the opportunity to connect. So, when the deaths came, I found myself asking, "So what?" I wanted to mourn for these characters, not shrug my shoulders as I left the theater. The film had potential (not to mention some good qualities) but Scorsese and screenwriter William Monahan missed the point of the original film Infernal Affairs; dying is easy, it's living with yourself after you've done a horrible thing that is hard.
The Academy has a unique opportunity to promote pictures that run against the grain of typical Hollywood studio output. For every picture like United 93 (the picture that, truly, was the best picture made last year) that is made, there are five movies starring Nicolas Cage (and I am not even making that up, there will be five movies that have Nicolas Cage in them released in 2007). Yet the help of the Academy in gaining exposure is invaluable to a small picture. American Beauty (winner of Best Picture in 2000), for example, saw its profits flat line when its nomination was announced, only to make nearly sixty million dollars in the month and a half before the ceremony.
The problem is twofold: on the one hand the Academy rewards track records, stars, and major releases before it honors unknown actors, independent features, and controversial material. This leads to the second problem, which is that the major studios then take the money and prestige that comes as a result of these wins and pump it back into producing the disposable, uninteresting, shitty pictures that fill up the Cineplex during the summer.
Am I advocating the awarding of Best Picture to only independent films? No. What I am advocating is that the Academy actually give the award to the best picture in a given year, not what is easy to give awards to because of its star, director, or production company. The problem with a B-picture like The Departed winning is that it sets the already pretty low bar of Best Picture (Chicago? The bar doesn't get a whole lot lower than that) even lower. When they recognize a picture that appeals to the broadest possible audience, they aren't promoting good filmmaking, but are encouraging a studio system that stifles creativity and values money above innovation.

Karl Sternberg found that fitting within the organisational culture of his host business provided a platform for constructive discussions and opportunities to learn, innovate and set a standard for new interns.
Food and Agribusiness student, Karl Sternberg
Mr Karl Sternberg put the knowledge he acquired throughout studying Food and Agribusiness into context during his third-year industry internship with Perfection Fresh Australia.
"I was able to apply the skills I have gained over the past few years to benefit not only myself, but the business that I worked for," Karl said.
A surprising and encouraging outcome of the internship was that Karl had a voice in the organisation.
Businesses appreciate someone who can work within their organisational culture, and are open to any ideas you may have.
Karl Sternberg, Food and Agribusiness student
"I had the opportunity to offer my opinion on many occasions. I initially thought that my ideas and opinions were menial, however many have been taken on board, and I had input into a number of future business decisions for the company.
"I learnt that no matter what level of skills you think you have, businesses appreciate someone who can work within their organisational culture, and are open to any ideas you may have," Karl said.
Joseph Quinn from Perfection Fresh Australia (left) with Karl Sternberg (right).
Joseph Quinn is the Chief People Officer at Perfection Fresh Australia. He said:
"Karl demonstrated a fantastic attitude and maturity in the workplace. His current academic achievements, coupled with his previous work experience as a chef, made him a perfect fit for the business."
And Karl thought Perfection Fresh Australia was a pretty perfect fit for him, taking on a part-time job with the business after completing his internship.
"I was extremely fortunate to gain employment in a department that I was unable to work in during my internship. I have been working with the mango team, gaining many extra skills, from sales to distribution and logistics as well as the opportunity to make contact with many of our large customers," Karl said.
This role builds on the experience Karl gained working on projects for his internship.
Joseph Quinn said Perfection Fresh Australia hoped Karl would be exposed to a range of different areas in the industry during his placement – everything from paddock to plate. By all accounts, Karl got a taste of all that the company has to offer.
"I worked across a diverse range of duties and this gave me a great overview of all aspects of the business. I conducted shelf life trials for new products; sensory evaluations for tomatoes, mangoes, broccolini, blueberries and raspberries; quality assurance assessments; new product development; trials for increasing production efficiencies; trials for innovative packaging for berries; consumer research; and I worked in the processing facility to understand everything from cutting, processing, packing and distribution," Karl said.
"The industry contacts and experience gained has been invaluable. I have made many contacts within my company, which have also led to contacts within industry. The experience has given me confidence in working within the food industry, and I believe I will be much better prepared for my next job opportunity."
Karl will complete his fourth-year research project this year, and Perfection Fresh Australia, who took two interns from the University of Sydney last year, is looking forward to the program again this year.
"We are always looking to introduce new talent into the business. We also find that interns can bring great new ideas to our business and are not afraid to innovate. They are often highly motivated, and this can bring a great buzz to the office.
"We would highly recommend the program to other businesses and we are offering two internship places for students in 2017. We are keen to once again have young, focused minds in the business who are keen to take part and make a positive contribution," said Chief People Officer, Joseph Quinn.
The internship program for Food and Agribusiness provides an excellent avenue for undergraduate students to make industry connections and gain experience in the real-life operations of businesses.

Wadjda is a new film by Haifaa Al Mansour, the first Saudi woman filmmaker. She is writer and director of the film. To add to the enormous responsibility of representation she now carries, the film is also the first to be filmed completely inside Saudi Arabia. While movie theaters are illegal in the country, producers have stated they plan to distribute it through "DVDs and TV channels" (Telegraph). You can watch two clips of the film below.
I've been excited about this film since I read about earlier this week, and am looking forward to seeing it (somehow, some day). It screened at this year's Venice International Film Festival, and has received quite a bit of press. Check out the links below for more articles on Al Mansour, plus this week's Her.Stories post.
Have you see the film? It's a Saudi Arabia-Germany production, with most of the crew being German, but Al Mansour still had to deal with the exigencies of directing as a woman in Saudi Arabia where gender separation is required. Without being able to direct the male cast or work with the male crew face to face, what did she do? Worked from a van and used a walkie talkie.
Wadjda screened at La Biennale on August 31 and September 1. Visit the film's page on the festival's website.
Watch an interview with Al Mansour at the Doha Film Institute's website.
Read a review of Wadjda in Variety.


While Prince Harry whisked his fiancé Meghan Markle off to the French Riviera, a London based German Princess headed for the golden sands of Kenya.
Princess Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis of Germany used her Instagram account to show off off images of her self, body-board in hand, padding over alabaster-white sands on a sun-drenched Kenyan beach.
The 35-year-old had jetted to the East African coast following a festive stay at Gstaad Palace in Switzerland.
Princess Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis, is a German journalist and member of the former German princely House of Thurn und Taxis. Based in London, she has been a style editor-at-large for Vogue magazine since 2012.

Chapters 41-43 Summary
Huck goes to find a doctor to help Tom. Huck runs into Silas who takes Huck back to his house. The people are marveling at the odd stuff in the shed. They decide it must have been a band of skilled robbers that stole Jim. Sally won't let Huck out to go and find Tom who she thinks is dead. Huck is touched by her concern for him. Silas can't find Tom and he eventually gives up. Later he is drug in only half conscious and Jim is brought in in chains. The people of the town want to hang Jim but are afraid they will upset his master. The doctor Huck sent for Tom tells the people of the town that Jim risked his freedom to help Tom, and the townspeople start treating him less roughly. Tom's Aunt Polly comes to pick up Tom. She then chastises Tom and Huck for their adventures after recognizing Tom. The boys find out that Jim is free because Miss Watson died. Tom wants to repay Jim for his help and send him back to their home town a hero. Tom gets better, and he and Huck discuss their next adventure. Huck says that his dad probably already stole all of his money, but Tom tells him that Huck's dad is dead. Then we find out this entire story was Huck writing a book. Huck says that he wants to go west to avoid Aunt Sally's attempts to civilize him.
I thought that it was an odd choice for the Huck to find out that Jim was already free. I think that it changes the way you think about the entire book to look back and know that Jim wasn't at risk of being caught. All of the large schemes and lies that Huck told were for naught. It almost speaks of the futility of any person's actions, and reminds me of the Caucus races in Alice and Wonderland. I also found it odd to think of the whole story being written by Huck. It makes you wonder how accurate his story was, and when you look back you wonder if things were being exagerrated when he wrote them down. I'm happy to be done with this book, but I enjoyed reading it. I think that it is my favorite story that we have read in English so far this year, and it is definitely 1,000 times better than the Odyssey.

Utah Symphony in Helper
Historic Helper Main Street Park
2-356 South Main Street Helper, Utah 84526 Get Directions
Helper, just outside of Price, is a coal town-turned-charming art community. It's the kind of town that makes you want to slow down and sink into a booth at a local restaurant and stay a while before meandering through the art galleries, admiring the restored buildings, or exploring the neighboring ghost towns.
A melody everyone will recognize – "Flight of the Bumble Bee." Played as an homage to the 125th anniversary of Utah becoming a state.
Lively melodies based on folk tunes that would have originally been played on fiddle or fife. "Romanian Folk Dances" is a fitting piece to describe the vivid landscapes and people of Utah.
Listen as the virtuoso Utah Symphony performs the highly spontaneous and emotionally powerful Symphony No. 7, a work Beethoven himself considered one of his best.
