Great Suck Black Cock

freedom but not the truth



Isabelle Giordano missed another opportunity to shut up during the preview at the French Cinematheque's new film by Peter Weir on December 13 last (where the Australian filmmaker received the insignia of Officer of Arts and letters from the hands of Mitterrand). Hired for the evening show, the journalist made a tirade about movies based on true stories, which provide so-called extra soul ... A cliche that does not apply at all to this film. But to know, would he still had to learn a minimum on the subject in question (which it obviously did not). The

Roads to Freedom (The Way Back), taking the story of the escape of a group of prisoners from a camp in the heart of Siberia in 1941. After a journey of several thousands of kilometers on foot, they reach Mongolia and beyond, crossing deserts and the Himalayas, found refuge in India. The film is inspired by a bestselling book released in 1956, written by Rawicz Slámové entitled A forced march. Presented as an autobiographical account and translated into 30 languages, the book is in fact a completely novel invented and demonstrated by many research including a BBC documentary. Slámové Rawicz was a Polish soldier though arrested, tortured and deported by the Russians. But it has not escaped. He was pardoned. Many doubts remain about the veracity of this story, and it is far from a "true story".

When the film by Peter Weir, it will be released in France January 26, 2011, starring key, Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess and Saoirse Ronan. Adventure story of a good performance, the film suffers, however, a setting image too conventional and it is difficult to find the leg of a director whose films have some marked Picnic at Hanging Rock or The Truman Show.

How Do Men Get Wedgees ?

From Silence and shadows




Two soap figurines representing a small girl and a boy, an old watch that still works, gouaches, coins, marbles, a whistle, as many objects out a wooden box. Children who draw a bird. A page that is torn. This is the beautiful opening credits Robert Mulligan's film, perhaps his greatest, To Kill A Mockingbird among us To Kill a Mockingbird.

At that time (1962) where there were still some generic opening in the best case, they fulfilled a dual function: to give the movie title and the names of performers and technicians, but more importantly, reveal at once the heart of the film: its subject, its importance, its soul.

Stephen Frankfurt, credited for this wonderful generic, has captured the essence of the film to perfection. When the drawing of the bird is torn, it is the innocence of childhood is under threat, a danger still unknown that lurks, a contained violence but actual pointing. Only at the very end of the film that one can really understand this sequence of less than three minutes.

If this film became a cult in the United States, it is shown in schools, where all sorts of personalities cite it as a source of influence, this is of course not only because of its generic. So we may mention an excellent novel by Harper Lee used as the basis for the scenario of Horton Foote, an unforgettable performance by Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch (who will be rewarded with an Oscar), children of a rare accuracy and a score of rare beauty Elmer Bernstein.

That's a lot for one movie, but on reflection, it's nice that the facts which are masterpieces.

Proper Wording For Paying For Meal

Robert Mulligan: A filmmaker with heart



It is sometimes difficult to recognize the paw of a filmmaker. First because they are not all the authors. Far from it. It would even rather the exception. Sometimes the style is not great enough (everyone is not Bresson), sometimes the topics are too different from each other. Often, the films lack of interest and it does not even bother to seek a semblance of coherence. So what to make of a filmmaker like Robert Mulligan? Its lack of visual style led him instead to fit each type and the blasting of the interior. With nearly 20 films spread over forty-year career, Mulligan's work has touched on different genres: western, fantasy, chronic social comedy. Thanks to retrospective the French Cinematheque, we have the opportunity to rediscover the work of the filmmaker overlooked.

If some of his films are world famous (Summer of 42, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Other) , others are forgotten. The disorder can discover precisely identify commonalities and make findings. Far from claiming to substitute myself for Jean-Pierre Berthomé, the eminent critic and film historian whose introductory lecture to the work of American filmmaker was quite exciting and illuminating, return briefly to a film of the last period. If it was said that Mulligan was attracted by the world of childhood, by death, he was a great director of actors, or had a knack for surrounding himself with top musicians, the vision of Clara's Heart ( The secret Clara 1988) allows to reveal one of his qualities: his humanism.

Before last film Mulligan Clara's Heart is a story of reconstruction. A mother who lost her baby went into exile in Jamaica and met a maid who draws from his depression. The agreement is so strong that the mother brings her home to care for her teen, who at first rejected. A beautiful friendship will gradually link between these two beings in pain, sustained by the parental environment exploding. But the maid carries a dark secret and tries to rebuild as well.

Only a few years after his prominent role in The Color Purple, Whoopi Goldberg gives the character of the maid intensity all nuance and restraint, while the young man is played brilliantly by Neil Patrick Harris, which is the star. Always on the cutting edge, without lapsing into melodrama or sentimentality, Mulligan discusses a topic rarely discussed by the movies, an unlikely friendship and salvation, than those that shape lives and overcome the horror. Storyteller subtleties of the heart of man and woman, Mulligan loves his characters and it shows. He does not need to resort to tricks of staging. His way of showing simply and fairly, without any distancing, making them even more staggering. At the risk of offending some viewers, so accustomed to cynicism dominating and triumph of our time.

Marcy Fitness Equipment

Samedi Soir

Big night in Brazil. Saturday night we finally decided to make a dinner party club. So we decided to invite some friends to a dinner from 20h. Dinner proceeds exactly as in France people come and bring a little something. This dinner allows me to show I'm starting to to speak Portuguese unlike the first release where I stayed very quiet. Nevertheless after a few glasses of wine I can not to follow conversations and start to doze .

It is midnight we of e Cidones So finally out. I needed. They ask me to choose the type of box that I e sire. So I mention that I prefer over Rock. So we decide to go to "O Opiniao" which is the box that I heard the most since I arrived e here. Despite e that this box is 10 mins from here we go by car. Everyone has been drinking but it does pose problems anyone. I had to take the wrong car because we are 45 minutes to arrive. In fact the girl has her license but do not really know him full of lead and hesitations. The city has many private car parks e s. I even think that's a good opportunity for investment.


So finally we arrive. The security system is a little more thrust e my previous outings in fact a piece of Identity e is requested to enter. Finally there is always room to talk because I had forgotten e mine. The to it gives us a little card to pay at the end. In fact the Br e sil you pay when you leave. For each drink you take the server made a small mark on the little card that gives you the input e e and when you want to go you should go through the body that makes you pay the entry e e and drinks. A good way to make you spend more than expected. Before entering the s e SAFETY e we palpated to verify that we carry no weapons inside. A little more on the subject of security, the beers are served in plastic glasses.


I come So in a room large enough with a rock band named e Street Flash singing various songs. For the people of Cork a lot like the Savoy. The group is good and pleasant vraimant. I have unfortunately forgotten e my camera so you can share my own photos or videos.

Photo: opiniao.ning.com and portocultura.com.br

The second photo is not the group I've seen but KT Tunstall. It's just To give you an idea of the room. The group that I saw is called Street Flash makes regular performance at this club every 2, 3 months. They take a lot of titles that I've made a small list of examples below:

Like a Prayer - Madonna I Want to
Break Free - Queen
o'Mine Sweet Child - Guns n 'Roses You
Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi
Jump - Van Halen
Highway to Hell - AC / DC
Footloose - Kenny Loggins

I admit it feels a little weird to see Madonna and Footloose in their repertoire.

You can see a video of this group when they moved in September 2009 in the same bar.




For those who want more information about this group here is their website: http://www.myspace.com/bandastreetflash


Having drunk well I'm not afraid to speak Portuguese and then throws me in conversations. I learn and Green Day should be a concert here in October. At 6 am we finally decided to go to looking for a place to eat. At this time, as in Ireland many fast food are opened with many people. Here is a place about how an evening in Brazil.

Why Does Fakku Not Work

Gremio - Santos Porto Alegre

Match yesterday in the semifinals of the Brazil Cup was so exceptional that it gives me the opportunity to talk a little football here.


So simple Gremio champion of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Santos received the Champion of the State of Sao Paulo for the semi-final of the Cup Brazil. Santos is seen as the future champion Brazil by local experts. Even Gremio supporters saw their chance against this team very minimal. Indeed it has an offensive force of fire including international Robinho and his cronies that the press would have loved to see and select Neymar Ganso (Paulo Henrique for Europeans). Knowing just the first 2 I think that's a good opportunity to see a work called Ganso.

1st Half Time: After 20 minutes of play demonstrated Santos control of a large and already leads 2-0 with a double, including one on a corner beautifully drawn, the so-called substitute Andre Neymar absent, but which also showed great qualities. Gremio at the end of the second half seeks to rebel and missing at least three good chances including a penalty kick. Santos nevertheless continues to play really well and rotate the head and Gremio to get other opportunities.

Andr é and Paulo Henrique Ganso

Halftime: Santos is really described by the team Journalists with great firepower. And it has a real talent Ganso technique. It should not delay starting for a big European club. What I like well in this team of Santos is the fact that players are really young and we really feel that they take pleasure in the field. Many fans of Gremio then decided to stop the massacre and preferred to go to bed rather than looking after them and badly made.

2nd Half Time: The Rebellion Gremio is on and they managed to put 4 goals in 30 minutes while the game seemed really out of reach. 3 goals Borges makes me think of a Maoulida Bakayoko or when they were in Montpellier and 1 goal by Jonas more in the type as Argentine striker Batistuta with a little less talent. On every goal I could hear the neighbors scream or tap the ground with your foot. The brother of my girlfriend told me he was very hard slap on the shutters of his window to make the most noise and that now he had sore hands. When I say it's a football town. Robinho to finish a bit spoiled the party by scoring the third goal from Santos on a service Ganso.

Borges
Jonas

End of game. Glad to have witnessed this crazy game showing all the fervor for the sport of Brazilian and having observed this Ganso. Globoesporte sees this match as the match of the year. You can review the original version via this link globoesporte .

not wait for the return leg next week match against Corinthians Ronaldo Sunday.

Aircraft Initialization Fsx



First I will present my new city, Porto Alegre.


To start a small introduction wikipedia:
"Porto Alegre is the capital State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This is the tenth city largest population of Brazil. Its population was 1,420,667 inhabitants in the 2007 census. " To help you locate here is the map of wikipedia. In avoiding a large topo history that State is a bit like Britain whose members want independence or more precisely as Cork in Ireland. Indeed, the national holiday of that State is a defeat against the Brazilian government. They actually celebrate the fact of having been the most resistant. It is the only Brazilian state that has a hymn, whose inhabitants know how to sing. For those who want, you can find the video on youtube here . Basically it's a bit like the Scottish anthem, saying they may be lost but one day they will wake up or rather they continue to show their values.

To give you a better idea here are some celebrities here:
Soccer Ronaldinho, Dunga, Michel Bastos, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Taffarel
Top Models: Gisele Bundchen, Alessandra Ambrosio, Fernanda Lima
Gymnastic: Daiana Dos Santos


So back to the city with a city map and my location in a red rectangle.



Many trees and parks are present in the city. It does not include many historical monuments, is primarily a college town.
I live in the district of Praia de Belas, which is the administrative center of state government with large buildings like the one in front of my house:

Above is the Centre with historic monuments and government. A 10 minute walk is the Cidade Baixa district is the bar district. I will return at greater length in the next few days and details on the characteristics of this city.
In the meantime I'll make a list of what I like and likes a lot less here yet.


Like:
- food (unless you are vegetarian)
- Climate
- The passion for football
- This weekend the streets are quiet


I dislike:
- roads (bumpy)
- pedestrian crossings (we need to know to run across a road)
- Cars that will not stop honking
- Fear room (always be careful)
- Lack of entertainment in bars

Average Women In China

The old movie stars back to Hollywood




classic films on the big screen in the center of Hollywood? It was the event last week in Los Angeles during the first edition of the TCM Classic Film Festival . From April 22 to 25, a broad selection of feature and short films were presented in the center of the Mecca of American cinema. With prestigious guests (Martin Landau, Tony Curtis, Eva Marie Saint, Ernest Borgnine, Anjelica Huston ,...) and film screenings in beautiful restored copies, it was a unique opportunity rediscover the mythical works. And why the myth was the appointment: 2001, A Space Odyssey, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Star is Born, North by Northwest, Sunset Boulevard, and many other masterpieces were presented.



With full houses and a new edition already announced for next year, success was at the rendezvous. What may seem surprising, given that most of these films are available on DVD and have already been seen and reviewed. What drew the crowds was obviously the prospect to see these classics on the big screen and with an enthusiastic and passionate. Here, no ringing cell phone or neighbor gossip. A passion for film. And especially the opportunity to attend discussions before or after the movies, with actors, directors and others in prestige, which were told with anecdotes sometimes crusty, how these films were made.

Such was the occasion of a discussion between Martin Landau and Eva Marie Saint just before the screening of North by Northwest, Alfred Hitchcock , and a meeting with the special effects Douglas Trumbull, who had about the 2001 Kubrick, for whom he designed the famous StarGate sequence. He took the opportunity to give its opinion on the current fashion of 3D * and talk about his work with Terrence Malick current.



'll also mention a projection of to Heaven ( Leave Her to Heaven, 1945), a beautiful thriller in color by John M. Stahl, in which Gene Tierney portrays masterfully seductive unbalanced. Darryl Hickman, actor who played the young boy whose character Tierney is keen to get rid to be alone with her lover, was present at the end of the session. He told the actress remained in character even outside shooting and it was not very pleasant with him (he was 13 at the time). He left the famous sequence of swimming in the lake, whose water was freezing, with pneumonia. He also spoke of the fate of child actors, and strength of character it took to resist the enormous pressures that swooped down on their frail shoulders. He told a humorous engulfed in the huge amount psychoanalysis that he had begun ...


Saturday night, the great hall of Grauman's Chinese Theater (1100 seats) was invaded by fans nostalgic for the heyday of John Travolta, a moving picture of The Saturday Night Fever (John Badham, 1977). The director gave a few key elements about the making of the film, which required a lot of work for the sequences in the nightclub, and whose success surprised the studio completely which produced it. The rest is legend.



Finally, the last day Sunday and concluding on a high note with Forward-North American premiere of the new edition of Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927). The film projected digitally, was accompanied by an original score by Alloy Orchestra, a group specializing in accompanying silent films, including percussion married to perfection with black and white of this seminal work of German cinema. The precious extra minutes found in Argentina recently gave a new richness to the film. If Metropolis has both influenced the history of cinema is of course because of its futuristic decor, its unusual characters (the woman-robot) but also for the game of Brigitte Helm, who moves from one character to another with an ease amazing.

Such an initiative, coming from a U.S. cable channel, gives confidence about the future of cinema and if the average age of participants was well over fifty, the public, it was of all ages. Hopefully the current rumors of a Paris edition of the event are based.

Whats Wrong Whit Fakku

Agostino or impossible love




A young boy of 13 years, not a teenager. His mother, rich and beautiful woman who coaxing and cajoling all day long. Venice in the summer. Black and white. A man comes in and charm the mother. The boy feels rejected. He meets the During interminable afternoon a group of young thugs whose lack of education will just make your own. He will discuss sexuality and a discovery that will lead ultimately to a travel request.

Agostino *, Mauro Bolognini
, in 1962. With a rich career and too little known, the director came out at the time of working with Pasolini, and you can feel the influence of the Italian poet in the film of rare beauty.

Ingrid Thulin shines in the role of a mother too close to his son, who clings to his little man, or rather the idea that it is him. Paolo Colombo, in his only role, is proof of great subtlety. His playing is natural and rich. Without dialogue, it communicates the pangs of conscience. Rarely the transition to adulthood of a young boy will have the opportunity of a portrait as touching.

This request, Agostino formula at the end of the film is beautiful and simple. "Treat me like an adult," asks he to his mother. The latter's resigned face speaks volumes about the way she also has traveled in just a few days of summer. Meanwhile, Agostino has learned the reality of physical love (without knowing it) and lost its innocence.

At the end of the film, while the voiceover tells us Agostino will still be difficult to pass tests, we know that his vision of women will be forever marked by this mother so beautiful and tender. Near and inaccessible. *

the magnificent score of the film is signed Carlo Rustichelli.

Free Bubble Skirt Patterns

Lambing started:


our vet, the affable Dr. Mouhli came on Saturday morning. As our animals are registered with the county farm property , an organization that is responsible for ensuring the traceability of livestock, we automatically receive communications from the Departmental Directorates of Veterinary Services . We have appointed a local veterinarian, in our case Mouhli Hamadi, and is also informed by the DDSV what he has to visit farms to carry out checks or vaccinations. We therefore expected the phone call Annick, its secretary, to make an appointment for blood tests (every three years) to detect the presence or absence of brucellosis in our herd and vaccinate our sheep against bluetongue.


order to produce these important vaccines and deployed throughout the country, vials, which should only be used as the day they are open, come in a bulky size of 100 doses. This provides our vet and his secretary to additional logistical task to oppose the large farms with small herds, like ours, to use the most out of each bottle.

With a multi-dose syringe in each hand (to make the annual reminder both serotypes 1 and 8) and counting the glass vials for blood tests as if loaded with cartridges, it had a certain air of Clint Eastwood. Find a vein under a thick coat of wool winter was not the easiest of tasks and Gabrielle and I were amazed how easy it was detached from the wool with his fingers as hard feathers of a hen . It gave him a better chance of hitting the mark with the hypodermic needle. We were wondering if we can try to "pluck" our sheep this May, rather than do the mowing!


At our sheep were officially perforated, we asked if he could tell if Hamadi our sheep were full. They seem to have a width of the season in the stomach. He handled gently down the right side of a sheep, then put my hand in the same position. I'm not sure I felt something specific. Maybe I'll do the same later in the year and see if I can detect the difference between empty and full. He apologizes for not having his physical ultrasound with him, but it's not worth going that far, we were just curious if he could say by putting an expert hand on the belly.


That said, one of our sheep gave us his answer yesterday morning (see photo above). Another boy! In our fourth year with our small herd of little lambs Ushant, we only ever had male lambs. Usually we do not name our little cattle hereby cats do not have a name-but as the first lamb born in 2010 and 14 February, we decided to call it Valentine. He announced the beginning of our lambing.
