Containment Contaminant (PG-13)

Alternate Title: Compromised Immunity

Master of disguise

After a viral outbreak devastates Earth’s inhabitants, one island nation shuts itself off from the rest of the world.

Ruled by an evil queen (Dame Judi Dench) and her idiot son, the island’s inhabitants are kept under control with cheap and readily-available booze. In-breeding becomes the norm and outsiders are forbidden.

When virus-ridden, American boy-genius/master of disguise Skip Hipplemeyer (Haley Joel Osment) infiltrates the island to find his long lost mother (Nigella Lawson) – who happens to be Head of the Secret Police, things get a little interesting…

Possible Dialogue:

Skip (dressed up in a ridiculous prince costume and using an obviously fake accent): Mumsy… may I have a popsicl…err… I mean… ice lolly?

In August of 2006, Haley Joel Osment wrapped his 1995 Saturn around a brick pillar while DUI.

And for the better part of three years, I have spent countless nights repeating the same two questions over and over until my brain hurt:

1) How can I be driving a nicer car than Haley Joel?

2) What is it about that prick that rubs me the wrong way?

FF to June of 2009.  I GOT IT!

Haley Joel Osment is a real-life jinx.

I’m not talking about before Sixth Sense. Any cute kid can be in the movies for a second. The jinx began right after. And a jinx doesn’t just ruin himself, he infects the people around him with the failure virus as well.

So I went to IMDB and checked out the resume.

- Forrest Gump, 1994 (just one year before his Saturn was made).

- Some TV credits. Notable appearances: Walker Texas Ranger and the Jeff Foxwrothy Show.

- Sixth Sense, 1999. Biggest movie of the summer. Gets a bunch of Oscar nods. And yet, Bruce Willis goes on to The Story of Us, Rugrats the Movie, and a move called What Just Happened? I was gonna ask you the same thing, Bruce.  M. Night Shamalama goes on to make a string of craptastic films, each worse than his last.

The Haley Joel Osment Effect is born.

______________________________________________________________

- Pay It Forward, 2000. Kevin Spacey wins an Oscar from American Beauty, and Helen Hunt, one with As Good as it Gets. But this one tanks. Spacey embarks on a journey that includes Superman(how do you fuck that one up?), and one where he plays Bobby Darin. Helen Hunt continues to take Hollywood by storm with Castaway (who was she in that?), and What Women Want. You remember the movie where Mel Gibson can hear women’s thoughts, but you never saw it. And yet, somehow HJ walks away unscathed.

The Haley Joel Osment Effects takes on the acronym “H-JOE” and is referred to by government officials as “a concern.”

______________________________________________________________

- AI, 2001. After taking down two of Tinseltown’s greatest stars, Osment sets his sights on the biggest man in show-biz, Steven Spielberg. He comes in with Saving Private Ryan, and leaves with Catch Me if You Can, the Terminal, andWar of the Worlds. Crap, Crap, and Crap.

H-JOE is declared an epidemic.

______________________________________________________________

- Jungle Book 2, 2003. I can’t blame Haley Joel for this fiasco.

- And later in 2003, Secondhand Lions. Robert Duval’s notable titles after working with Osment: Godfather, the video game. Nice. And Michael Caine, didn’t he die right after that movie?

And there the well ran dry for HJ. He finally became a victim of the same H-JOE that claimed the professional lives of so many of his colleagues. You haven’t heard from him lately because he’s chosen not to act so he could focus on his studies.  Right, and I’ve chosen not to get laid because I’ve been focusing on my masturbating.

I know a lot of child stars fade quietly into obscurity. But only Haley Joel Osment has the honor of saying the last time he saw his name in print, it started the sentence: “…lost control of his 1995 Saturn on his way home and collided with a brick pillar in a suburb”

But that’s the H-JOE for you.

“Fiz ‘It’s My Life’ baseada numa pequena discussão com Haley Joel Osment, no set de ‘A Corrente do Bem’. Ele queria me ensinar a atuar e eu dei apenas um grito. Bastou para ele ver que na minha vida mando e decido EU.”

Jon Bon Jovi

You’d be surprised how many cubicles there are in the media, as evidenced by this post:

“If you want to make a difference, go somewhere else. This is a newspaper.”

I can think of very few cubicle-based jobs that involve making a difference for the better. Doctors save lives; professors and teachers influence the next generation; people who run homeless shelters are turning on a light in the night.

What are you doing? Are you building a website for a company that makes couches? Are you designing the heads-up display for a sportscar that only a small percentage of the world will be able to afford? Are you the accountant for a music label?

You’re not changing the world by sitting in a cubicle. You’re not there to make a difference. You’re there to further your company’s interests and get paid for it. You’ll then go spend all the money you make (and more) to simply keep up with your neighbors and make your parents proud — or, worse, make sure that the parents of your kid’s classmates don’t figure out that you really can’t afford to shop at designer clothing stores.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a job where I thought I was changing the world or making a difference in anyone’s life. I’ve done some media work that helped people by giving them information they might not have otherwise had, but it’s not like their lives were appreciably changed.

Of course, there’s the other side to that, too: what if the small thing you do makes life better for someone, and the butterfly effect takes hold? What if the website you’re making for Couchmasters helps someone get a couch they really want, and they’re happy, so the next day at church they’re in a good mood and they donate extra to the collection plate? You get the idea. It’s like that Kevin Spacey movie where Haley Joel Osment wore that ridiculous tank-top in all the previews.

(Yes, I know what it’s called.)

Okay, fine, so occasionally you make a difference. But don’t delude yourself; that’s not why you have your job. Not if you’re sitting in a cubicle for most of the day.

Hi , it is writer No.2 here.

童星总是可爱的.

因为小孩子的魅力, 就在那纯洁的眼睛, 嫩嫩的脸颊.

管他长的方脸扁脸, 斜眼圆眼, 至多被说做: “长的俏皮”.

可是…可是…假以时日, 你永远也不知道你会得到什么…………..

经典的长裂巴的案例有:

<小鬼当家> 的麦考林 库金 Macaulay Culkin: 大嘴巴和招风耳, 小时候是机灵的象征, 现在看来总觉得像外星人.

经典案例二:

<第六感> 的海利. 琼. 奥斯蒙德 Haley Joel Osment. 我对这个憨厚的小伙没有敌意, 只是可不可以, 把那个曾经拥有稚嫩无助忧郁必杀眼神的小绅士, 还给我?

案例三:

<指环王>的伊利亚 伍德 Elijah Wood: 佛拉多仍旧很可爱没错, 可是当初这么可爱的小朋友, 没有变成一个高大英俊的帅男生, 而是真得长成了一个佛比特人, 还是蛮扫兴的.

bonus放送: 猜出是谁了么? < 闪灵> 中的鬼影双胞胎. 这两人现在还是长的蛮妖孽的.

This is part 2 of 12 reflections on Gary Hamel’s WSJ.com blog called The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500.

2. Contribution counts for more than credentials.
When you post a video to YouTube, no one asks you if you went to film school. When you write a blog, no one cares whether you have a journalism degree. Position, title, and academic degrees—none of the usual status differentiators carry much weight online. On the Web, what counts is not your resume, but what you can contribute.

Students complain about classes. Some classes people just don’t like, but classes that seem to add no value to students are the ones despised most.

John Maxwell discusses The Law of Addition in his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.

The three steps in adding value to peoples lives are:

1. Truly Value Others
2. Make Ourselves More Valuable to Others
3. Know and Relate to What Others Value

Truly valuing others can be summed up in the phrase “we are to love people and use things, not use people and love things.”

Making ourselves more valuable to others requires us to grow so we can become a resource for other people. Learning is not just for you, but for everyone you will come in contact with.

Knowing and relating to what others value is probably the greatest challenge. It requires us to know what other people like and need. This means genuinely listening to others and doing life together.

Social media empowers people to add value. Blogs, updates on twitter, pictures shared through flickr and picasa, videos shared through YouTube, and everything shared through facebook means we get to do life together more easily.

What does adding value look like?

In the movie “Pay It Forward,” Trevor (Haley Joel Osment) was given an assignment by his teacher Eugene (Kevin Spacey) to change the world. Trevor proposed a system of doing good called “paying it forward.” A person does three good deeds in which a good faith obligation is given to each of those people to do three good deeds and so on. The three good deeds Trevor performed were helping a homeless man (Jim Caviezel), his teacher Eugene, and his friend Adam.

Trevor valued others, knew what others valued and acted on that knowledge.

In the end we find that he has become a leader of a movement in doing good. The message was simple: after receiving this good deed, go and do likewise to three people and share the same instructions.

When I started evaluating how I should use social media I started to realize it would be better if I added value. Letting people know I’m eating pizza probably doesn’t add much value, but pointing people to helpful resources can add value to people’s lives.

The internet has bred people with a lower commitment mentality because it has increased people’s agility to attain resources. People will follow those who add value not title holders.

Titles are identifiers. It may get you in the door, but credibility is earned. Make yourself valuable by helping others be better.

If you're laughing at my pants, you've missed the point of this pic.

When I was ten years old, mainstream media led me to believe that in the future, robots would handle all of our work, freeing up time for their human counterparts to enjoy the finer things in life.  Well, it’s been twenty years, and I just came in from raking leaves.  Someone failed along the way.

Below, some of the robots that real life has failed to create along the way.  From bad to good.

__________________________________________________________

Terminator

MODEL: T800 Series, Model 101

CREATED BY: Skynet

PURPOSE: Kill Sarah Connor

POWERED BY: Neuronet Processor, a Learning Computer

THE SKINNY: The robot created for good that goes haywire and goes on a killing spree is all part of the development process.  But why the fuck did you make this robot whose sole purpose is to kill people?  T800 is like the pit bulls of robots… worthless.

PROS: Looked like Arnold Swartzenegger.

CONS: Killed everything in his path.  Didn’t serve drinks.

RATING: Zero, you bastard.

__________________________________________________________

David

MODEL: Mecha

CREATED BY: Cybertronics

PURPOSE: Eerie substitution for a child.

THE SKINNY: If you can’t have a child of your own, you’re unable to adopt, you don’t want to own a pet, and you’re not a plant person, then you’re fucked.  Enjoy your Haley Droid Osment.

PROS: None to speak of.

CONS: I’m looking forward to a future without Haley Joel in it (so far, it’s going pretty well), not one where they’re creating robots in his likeness.

RATING: Zero point zero.

__________________________________________________________

Vicki

MODEL: Voice Input Child Identikit (V.I.C.I.  I’m not making this shit up.)

CREATED BY: Dad and Robot Engineer, Ted Lawson

PURPOSE: Companion, Daughter

POWERED BY: Atomic Power

THE SKINNY: A recipe for something delicious wasn’t in the oven long enough.

PROS: Love the superhuman strength.  Loved that she could lift the couch over her head in order to vacuum under it.  Oh wait, back up… love that she was vacuuming.   And I loved that she lived in a cabinet.

CONS: You go to all that work to make a lifelike girl, and yet you still make her butt fugly and eight years old?  The voice needs real work, too.

RATING: 1 Cleaver 

__________________________________________________________

Fembots

MODEL: Super

CREATED BY: Dr. Evil

PURPOSE: Kill Austin Powers

POWERED BY: Electricity

THE SKINNY: Again, I can’t get behind a robot whose sole purpose is to kill.  Okay, maybe I could get behind a fembot.

PROS: Machine gun titties.

CONS: Machine gun titties.

RATING:

__________________________________________________________

Rocky IV Robot:

CREATED BY: I don’t know, but the family gave him to Rocko on his birthday and Paulie reprogrammed it to be a broad.  Amazing.

PURPOSE: Servant, companion

POWERED BY: Battery, I’m guessing.

THE SKINNY: The makings of a very powerful, very useful robot falls short in the end.

PROS: Sexy female voice that responds to orders with things like, “your wish is my command.”  Babysits the kids – they never once addressed who stayed with Rocky Jr. (speaking of Fembots, Sage Stallone) when the whole family left for Russia.  Also served drinks.

CONS: Why would you create a robot that didn’t look like a human being?  Isn’t that half the fun of it?

RATING:

__________________________________________________________

Johnny 5

MODEL: Prototype

CREATED BY: Newton Graham Crosby PhD (That’s Dr. Guttenberg to you) in conjunction with the NOVA Laboratories.

PURPOSE: Carry out mundane military operations like riding up ramps at a 30 degree angle with no real motivation.

POWERED BY: Electricity

THE SKINNY: The same thing that can generate 1.21 jigawatz of power is the same thing that can take an average robot and make it exceptional: A bolt of lightning.

PROS: Needs input like a mother fucker.  Employs that classic 80’s movie device where it learns to speak and behave from daytime television (see Splash, Encino Man).  Took on household chores with an apron on, like cleaning and cooking breakfast.

CONS: Somewhat nebbish.  Being wanted by the US military typically doesn’t end well.

RATING:

__________________________________________________________

C3P0

MODEL: Protocol droid, specifically designed to interact with organics

CREATED BY: Cybot Galtica, rebuilt by Anakin Skywalker

PURPOSE: To Help Skywalker’s Mother.

POWERED BY: Balance Gyro

THE SKINNY: The reason I fell in love with robots

PROS: Multi-lingual, which would have ruled while my house was being painted.  His serving skills on the barge would easily translate to my Labor Day Barbeque, and he was undyingly loyal.

CONS: I could do without that the constant voice of conscience.  He was kind of a package deal with R2.  Clunky movements.  Male personality, but barely.

RATING:

Haley Joel Osment Totally Looks Like Shaggy from Scooby Doo

» Think you can do better? Make your own!

Pictures by: dunno source Look-alike by: Gabel via Totally Looks Like Builder

.

Las estrellas de Hollywood no son siempre tan rutilantes como estamos acostumbrados a verlas. Drogas, posesión de armas, conducción temeraria, escándalo público, hurto, prostitución, maltratos o elevado índice de alcohol en sangre son algunas de las lindezas que han provocado que rostros muy famosos acabaran siendo detenidos.

Son tantos y tantas los que han acabado esposados que ha sido necesario realizar una pequeña selección, a menudo condicionada por la falta de testimonio gráfico del arresto en cuestión. De ahí que Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ray Liotta, Sean Penn , Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Sylvester Stallone o Roman Polanski, entre muchos otros, se hayan librado de aparecer en esta lista negra.

Tiene derecho a guardar en silencio…

AIDAN QUINN

Quinn fue arrestado por conducir borracho. Dos años después se le declaró culpable, tuvo que pagar 500 dólares de multa y se le retiró el carnet durante tres meses.

AL PACINO

En 1961 y con 21 años Al Pacino fue detenido por estar en posesión de una pistola del calibre 38 y cargada. Parece ser que Pacino pasó tres días en el calabozo y que los cargos fueron retirados posteriormente.

BRAD RENFRO

Tres fueron las veces que el joven Renfro pasó por la comisaría antes de morir en 2008 a los 25 años de edad.

En 1998 fue detenido y acusado por posesión de cocaína y marihuana, en 2000 por intentar robar un yate totalmente drogado y en 2006 cuando quiso comprar heroína a una policía vestido de paisano.

CARMEN ELECTRA

La explosiva Carmen Electra fue detenida en 1999 tras agredir a su ex marido el jugador de la NBA Dennis Rodman.

CHRISTIAN SLATER

Christian Slater también posee un amplio currículum de detenciones. La foto que os mostramos es de diciembre de 1994 cuando fue arrestado en el aeropuerto JFK de Nueva York por tenencia ilícita de armas.

CHRIS KLEIN

Klein, al que pudimos ver en “American Pie” (1999), “American Pie 2″ (2001), “Cuando éramos soldados” (2002) o “El mundo de Leland” (2004), fue detenido en 2005 por conducir borracho. Parece ser que su tasa de alcohol en sangre duplicaba la permitida en el estado de California, lo que le supuso una multa de 1.800 dólares y la obligación de realizar 150 horas de trabajo comunitario.

CHRIS TUCKER

Chris Tucker que interpretó al histérico y excesivo Ruby Rhod de “El quinto elemento” (Luc Besson, 1997)  fue arrestado por exceso de velocidad con el agravante de que no se detuvo ante el aviso de los agentes de policía.

DANIEL BALDWIN

La carrera delictiva de Daniel Baldwin (hermano de Alec) es más prolífica que la cinematográfica. En 1998 fue arrestado por posesión de cocaína tras haberse paseado desnudo por los pasillos del Hotel Plaza de Nueva York. Después de acumular varios arrestos, fue nuevamente detenido en 2006 acusado de haber robado un coche. Aunque posteriormente se demostró que era el vehículo de un amigo, el actor no se libró de pagar una fianza de 20.000 dólares por haber tomado prestado el dichoso coche sin permiso de su colega.

DAVID BOWIE

El cantante y actor David Bowie fue arrestado en 1976 por posesión de marihuana. El “Duque Blanco” se encontraba en un hotel en compañía del también cantante Iggy Pop.

DENNIS HOPPER

En 1975 Hopper sufrió un accidente a consecuencia de su conducción temeraria. Posteriormente fue detenido por no informar a las autoridades de dicho accidente, por huir del lugar de los hechos y por resistencia a la autoridad.

DUDLEY MOORE

Dudley Moore (“10, la mujer perfecta”, “Arthur, el soltero de oro”) fue arrestado en 1994 por violencia de género, aunque su novia, Nicole Richardson, retiró posteriormente los cargos.

EDWARD FURLONG

El John Connor de “Terminator 2″ (1991) y el Danny Vinyard de “American History X” (1998) ha sido otro de esos jóvenes actores que han terminado coqueteando con el alcohol y las drogas. En 2001, Furlong pisó la comisaría en dos ocasiones: una por conducir borracho y otra por hacerlo sin el permiso reglamentario. Este año 2009 su mujer, la actriz Rachel Kneeland, lo ha acusado de agresión y amenazas.

ERIC ROBERTS

Eric Roberts (hermano de Julia) también fue un habitual “visitante” de las comisarías. En 1987 fue arrestado por posesión de cocaína y marihuana y por resistirse a la autoridad. La violencia de género fue el otro delito por el que se le detuvo en 1995.

FATTY ARBUCKLE

La estrella de cine mudo Fatty Arbuckle fue detenido en 1921 como presunto autor de la muerte de la actriz Virginia Rappe. Tras una fiesta en un hotel a la que la joven estaba invitada, comenzó a sentirse mal y murió tres días después de una peritonitis. Una amiga de Rappe y la prensa sensacionalista de la época acusaron falsamente a Arbuckle de ser el causante del fallecimiento por haber violado a la joven con una botella. Aunque fue absuelto, su carrera cinematográfica quedó totalmente arruinada.

FRANK SINATRA

El arresto de Frank Sinatra no deja ser de lo más curioso. Corría el año 1938 y se le detuvo por (parece ser) haber mantenido una relación con una mujer casada. Cómo cambian los tiempos…

GARY DOURDAN

El famoso Warrick Brown de la serie televisiva “C.S.I.” fue detenido cuando pernoctaba en su coche y en el cual se encontró heroína, cocaína, éxtasis y varios tipos de fármacos. Tras pagar una fianza de 5.000 dólares, Dourdan fue puesto en libertad acusado de posesión de narcóticos. El careto de su ficha policial lo dice todo.

GUS VAN SANT

En 2006 el director estadounidense Gus van Sant sufrió un arresto por conducir borracho.

HALEY JOEL OSMENT

El niño que en ocasiones veía muertos a punto estuvo de convertirse en uno de ellos siendo ya mayorcito. Tras estrellar el coche que conducía cerca de su casa, los policías que acudieron al lugar del accidente comprobaron que Osment no sólo iba borracho, sino que hallaron que estaba en posesión de marihuana. En estos momentos es imposible no acordarse de aquel visionario e hilarante vídeo de los de “El informal”.

HEATHER LOCKLEAR

La Sammy Jo de “Dinastía” y la Amanda de “Melrose Place” fue arrestada en 2008 por conducir borracha y con alguna que otra sustancia más en su cuerpo. Aunque se difundió que todo había sido una trampa de una ex empleada de la actriz, el asunto nunca llegó a aclararse. Qué pena que Heather no tuviera tiempo de ir a la peluquería antes de que la fotografiaran para rellenar su ficha policial.

HUGH GRANT

En 1995 Grant fue detenido acusado de conducta indecente (=una prostituta estaba realizándole una felación) y el 2007 volvió a una comisaría de policía por agredir a un paparazzi.

JASON PATRICK

Ir drogado y atacar a uno de los agentes que le detuvieron le supuso un grave problema a Patrick que siempre declaró su inocencia y demandó al susodicho policía. Aunque la oficina del fiscal retiró los cargos, el jurado federal falló a favor del agente.

JEAN FONDA

La reivindicativa Jane Fonda fue arrestada en 1970 en el Aeropuerto Internacional Hopkins de Cleveland. No sólo golpeó a uno de los oficiales de la aduana, sino que en su equipaje se encontraron píldoras de vitaminas y Valium por lo que se le imputó un cargo de tráfico de drogas. Lo absurdo de la acusación se resolvió con un sobreseimiento de los cargos cuando se demostró que esas sustancias eran completamente legales.

JEFFREY DONOVAN

Lo visteis junto a Angelina Jolie en “El intercambio” (Clint Eastwood, 2008) encarnando al Capitán J.J. Jones. El 12 de julio de este año se le detuvo en Miami Beach por conducir borracho y por negarse a realizar la prueba de alcoholemia. Tras pagar 1.000 dólares de fianza, Donovan fue puesto en libertad.

JENNIFER LÓPEZ

La actriz y cantante Jennifer López fue arrestada en 1999  junto a su novio Sean “Puffy” Combs después verse involucrada en un tiroteo en un club nocturno de Manhattan. Tras pasar 14 horas detenida, fue puesta en libertad sin cargos.

JOSH BROLIN

Mientras rodaba la película “W” (2008) de Oliver Stone, Brolin (junto con otros miembros del equipo) acabó con sus huesos en prisión después de haber participado en una pelea en un bar. Tras pagar una fianza de 334 dólares fue puesto en libertad.

JOSHUA JACKSON

Joshua Jackson, que saltó a la fama tras su participación en la serie televisiva ”Dawson crece”, acabó en comisaría en 2002 por soltarle unos cuantos guantazos a un segurata en un partido de hockey.

JULIETTE LEWIS

En comparación con sus otros colegas de profesión, lo de Lewis es una simple anécdota: fue detenida por hallarse en un club nocturno para mayores de edad cuando la actriz sólo tenía 16 años.

KEANU REEVES

En 1993 el futuro Neo de la trilogía “Matrix” fue arrestado por conducir borracho. Reeves tenía 29 años.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND

Kiefer Sutherland, el agente Bauer de la serie televisiva “24”, pasó 48 horas en el calabozo por conducir con unas copichuelas de más lo que le llevó a realizar un cambio de sentido prohibido (estos yanquis fliparían con los vídeos de la DGT). Fue en 2007

LINDSAY LOHAN

La díscola actriz ha sufrido dos arrestos en 2009. En mayo se la detuvo por conducir borracha (estrelló su deportivo contra un seto) y decidió ingresar en una clínica de desintoxicación de la que salió el 5 de octubre pasado. Tres días después Lohan volvía a ser detenida por conducir, nuevamente, bajo los efectos del alcohol y por encontrarse restos de cocaína en su bolsillo. Por más que la amiguísima de Paris Hilton ha declarado que la droga no era suya, ha tenido que desembolsar 30.000 dólares de fianza y deberá comparecer ante el juez.

MACAULAY CULKIN

Uno de esos niños prodigio que no ha sabido crecer en condiciones. En 2004 Culkin fue arrestado por posesión de drogas y quedó en libertad tras pagar una fianza de 6.000 dólares. Atención a su cara de empanado.

MARTIN SHEEN

Parece ser que Martin Sheen, activista declarado, ha sido detenido más de 60 veces por participar en manifestaciones (no autorizadas) de distinta índole. Como no tenemos espacio para incluir 60 fotos, ahí os dejamos éstas dos como muestra.

MATT DILLON

El actor fue detenido en 2008 por exceso de velocidad. No deja de ser paradójico que Dillon fuese nominado al Globo de oro y al Oscar al Mejor Actor Secundario por la película “Crash” (Paul Haggis, 2005)…

MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY

En 1999 McConaughey decidió darse unos bailoteos por su barrio completamente desnudo. Al parecer el actor había fumado marihuana (hecho que no pudo ser demostrado, aunque su careto en la foto casi no deja lugar a dudas) y se le arrestó. Tras pagar una fianza de 1.000 dólares, fue puesto en libertad.

MEL GIBSON

El actor-director se ganó una sonora detención (segunda) en 2006 por conducir borracho por una autopista de Malibú. Durante su arresto se comportó de forma violenta e insultante (“los judíos son los responsables de todas las guerras en el mundo”). Después de desembolsar los 5.000 dólares de la fianza y quedar en libertad, Gibson comenzó a recibir ayuda de Alcohólicos Anónimos.

MICHELLE RODRÍGUEZ

Michelle Rodríguez, actriz de la serie televisiva “Perdidos” ha sido arrestada en dos ocasiones. En 2003 se la detuvo por conducir borracha y con el permiso caducado y en 2005, nuevamente, por coger el coche con una copas de más. En esta última detención iba acompañada de Cynthia Watros, otras de las actrices que participan en la serie citada anteriormente.

MICKEY ROURKE

Mickey Rourke ha visitado en dos ocasiones la trena. En 1994 se le detuvo por agredir a la también actriz Carré Otis (su esposa en esos momentos) y en 2007 por conducir su moto en estado de embriaguez.

NICK NOLTE

En 2008 fue arrestado por conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol cuando transitaba por una calle de Malibú. Sobran los comentarios observando el aspecto que presenta Nolte en la foto.

O. J. SIMPSON

Lo de este tío clama al cielo… Después de librarse de la cárcel (que no de pagar una indemnización de 33,5 millones de dólares por daños y perjuicios) tras los asesinatos, en 1994, de su ex mujer Nicole Brown Simpson y el amigo de ésta Ronald Goldman, Simpson fue detenido por el presunto robo de una colección de objetos deportivos en un casino de Las Vegas. Al colega se le acusaba, entre otras lindezas, de robo con arma de fuego, asalto con arma de fuego, conspiración para cometer un hurto y hurto con un arma de fuego.

RANDY QUAID

¿Recordáis a aquel aviador borracho que se convierte en un héroe en los minutos finales de la película ”Independence Day” (1996)? Pues se trata del actor estadounidense Randy Quaid, hemano del también actor Dennis Quaid.

Randy y su esposa Evi fueron detenidos el pasado mes de septiembre de 2009 acusados de estafa por no haber pagado la cuenta de un hotel de Santa Barbara que ascendía a 10.000 dólares. Después de  abonar la fianza, fueron puestos en libertad.

RIP TORN

¿Que quién es este tío con esta pinta tan horrible? Para que os situéis rápidamente Rip Torn es el actor que interpretó a Z en la película “Men in Black” (1997) y en su secuela “Men in Black 2″ (2002). Aquí el amigo fue detenido en 2004 por conducir borracho y volvió a pasar por la comisaría en 2006 tras protagonizar un accidente con su automóvil. Al negarse a someterse a la prueba de alcoholemia, se le acusó de ir ebrio.

RYAN O’NEAL

Durante una investigación que tenía como objetivo a Redmond O’Neal (hijo de Ryan y Farrah Fawcett), la policía registró la casa del actor encontrando metanfetamina. Ambos fueron arrestados por posesión de drogas.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

Desde finales de la década de los 80, el actor sucumbió a las drogas y al alcohol. Ya en 1980 asistió por primera vez a un centro de rehabilitación que abandonó al poco tiempo sin obtener ningún resultado.

En 1996 fue arrestado en Los Ángeles por exceso de velocidad; por posesión de marihuana, cocaína, heroína y crack; y por encontrársele una pistola descargada. Fue puesto en libertad condicional tras pagar una fianza, pero antes de ser citado a juicio por esos cargos, fue nuevamente detenido, al entrar por error en casa de su vecina. Había consumido tanto alcohol y droga, que necesitó de asistencia sanitaria para recobrar el conocimiento.

Fue enviado a un centro de rehabilitación mientras estaba a la espera de juicio, pero tan solo cuatro días después, fue detenido por los agentes de seguridad del lugar unas horas después de fugarse.

En 2000 fue arrestado nuevamente por fumar crack y beber alcohol y en 2001 por vagar por las calles bajo los efectos de varios narcóticos.

Parece ser que desde 2002 Downey Jr. ha logrado mantenerse “limpio” y alejado de las cárceles.

RUSSELL CROWE

El actor australiano no se caracteriza precisamente por su paciencia. En 2005 fue arrestado en un hotel de Nueva York después de lanzarle un teléfono a un conserje. Parece ser que Crowe se puso nervioso porque no podía comunicarse con su mujer en Australia.

SAM SHEPARD

El actor (“París, Texas”; “Magnolias de acero”; “El informe pelícano”; ”Black Hawk derribado”; entre otras) y dramaturgo fue detenido por conducir borracho y por exceso de velocidad. Shepard fue puesto en libertad tras pagar una multa de 600 dólares y las costas del juicio y prometer que no volvería a reincidir.

SHIA LaBEOUF

LaBeouf fue detenido por conducir borracho después de chocar contra otro vehículo. A causa de este accidente se retrasó el rodaje de “Transformers 2” (2009).

STEVE McQUEEN

El inolvidable actor de “Los siete magníficos” (1960), “La gran evasión” (1963), “Bullitt” (1968), “La huida” (1972), “Papillon” (1973) o “El coloso en llamas” (1974)  fue detenido en 1972 por conducir ebrio. No se puede negar que a Steve se le ve la mar de “contento”…

TIM ALLEN

Antes de iniciar su carrera cinematográfica, Tim Allen fue arrestado en 1978 en el aeropuerto de Kalamazoo (Michigan) acusado de vender de drogas y en 1979 por posesión. Volvió a ser detenido en 1997 por conducir borracho y por exceso de velocidad.

VINCE VAUGHN

En 2001 Vaughn fue arrestado por participar en una pelea multitudinaria a la salida de un bar.

WESLEY SNIPES

En 2006 Wesley Snipes fue detenido en el aeropuesto de Orlando por evasión de impuestos. Parece ser que el actor le debía al fisco unos míseros 12 millones de dólares…

WINONA RYDER

La cleptómana actriz también ha caído en las redes de la policía por robar en unos grandes almacenes. En la foto podemos observar a Winona durante el juicio en la que fue procesada.

WOODY HARRELSON

En 1982 el actor fue arrestado por desorden público. Parece ser que a Harrelson le dio por pegarse unos bailoteos en medio de la calle entorpeciendo el tráfico. No sólo se resistió a la detención, sino que incluso se escapó del coche de policía que le trasladaba a la comisaría.

YASMINE BLEETH

La actriz Yasmine Bleeth, conocida por participar en la serie televisiva ”Los Vigilantes de la Playa”, fue detenida en 2001 por posesión de cocaína. Tras declararse culpable, se la sentenció a dos años de libertad condicional y a 100 horas de servicios comunitarios.

ZSA ZSA GABOR

En 1989 la actriz fue detenida no sólo por conducir su coche con el carnet de conducir caducado, sino por soltarle una bofetada al agente que le había dado el alto. Curiosamente la Gabor también pasó por la comisaría cuando en Palma de Mallorca se marchó de un local sin pagar la cuenta.

Trailer:

Summa: Trevor új tanára egyszerű házifeladatot hagy fel a kisiskolásoknak: Változtassák meg a világot. Mindenki találjon ki valamit és kezdjen is neki a megvalósításnak. Trevor ötlete viszont nagyon különlegesnek bizonyul. Arra gondolt, hogy ha ő segítene három embernek, valami nagy dologban, amit ők maguk nem tudnának megtenni és ők ahelyett, hogy viszonoznák a kedvességet inkább más három emberen segítenének. A gépezet elindult.

Duma: Leírhatatlanul gyönyörű ez a film. Annyira mélyremenően beszél az emberi szeretetről, a gyermeki tisztaságról és a jobb jövő lehetőségéről.

A történet kéyt szálon fut, az egyik, amelyet a summában elmesélte, a másik egy újságíró, akinek egy ismeretlen egy nagy szívességet tesz és elkezdi felgöngyölíteni a jó-tettek-szálát.

Trevor és édesanyja Arlene családi élete és Trevor tanárának Eugenenek a múltja is külön falatokat alkotnak a filmben és az egész egyesül egy egységes igaz történetté az ember életéről és félelmeiről, vágyairól és gátlásairól.

Oscar: Sehol semmi ?!?

Imdb trivia:

• Haley Joel Osment és a filmben játszott szerepe, Trevor McKinney, mindketten megünnepelték a tizenkettedik szülinapjukat a film forgatása alatt. Az egyik a filmben a családjával, a másik a stúdióban a stáb tagjaival.

Rating: Ismét és megint, újra meg újra!

Saludos fanticos del cine, hoy me decidi a investigar sobre algunos exitos del cine y encontre una lista donde mencionaban que la pelicula de suspenso mas exitosa de todos los tiempos es The sixth sense (el sexto sentido). Entonces al leer esto me decidi a investigar más sobre si era verdad o no y resulta que tenian razón.

Debo decir que no me sorprende tanto que esta pelicula sea tan exitosa pues cuenta a mi entender con una buena historia y lo mejor de todo un final inesperado. Ademas de esto quien no ha visto el sexto sentido?, yo la he visto más de 5 veces, y me sigue gustando esta pelicula. Quien no la halla visto a estas alturas solo tiene que poner TNT, en ese canal unos meses atras la pasaban como si fuera un estreno.

Para quienes quieran saber porque es la mas exitosa, pues esto lo dice la Internet Movie Database (base de datos de peliculas en internet), ellos hacen esta afirmación valiendose de que la pelicula recaudo unos 661,5 millones de dólares.

A proposito de la pelicula que habra sido de ese niño llamado Haley Joel Osment quien estelarizo la pelicula con Bruce Willis y de quien he sabido poco ya que sus posteriores peliculas no corrieron con la misma suerte que el Sexto Sentido.

Ahora mi pregunta es: para ti cual es la mejor pelicula de suspenso de todos los tiempos?

Sinopse:

Walter (Haley Joel Osment) é um garoto introvertido, que passa o verão na fazenda de dois tios que mal conhece, Garth (Michael Caine) e Hub (Robert Duvall). Ambos têm passados recheados de mistérios, que Walter começa a decifrar aos poucos e que fazem com que o garoto se aproxime cada vez mais dos tios.

- Muito bom!

- Assistido em 25/09/2009

- Já tinha assistido mas como estava passando na TV, resolvi fazer esse post.

Dr. Malcom Crowe (Willis) é um notável psicólogo de crianças perseguído por uma dolorosa memória de um problemático paciente que ele não foi capaz de ajudar. Quando conhece Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), uma assustada e confusa criança de oito anos que sofre de um problema semelhante, Malcolm procura redimir-se do seu erro, fazendo tudo o que está ao seu alcance para ajudar Cole.

O Sexto Sentido é um filme com bastante suspense, muitas cenas que te deixa vidrado e que fazem você refletir e viajar em algumas questões, não é a toa que foi considerado o melhor filme do ano de seu lançamento (1999), embora tenha sido indicado para 6 categorias no Oscar e não tenha recebido nenhum…

SIXTH SENSE
the ability to know that 10 years later, everyone will have forgotten you both.

For those of you who have followed the previous entries of  FilmWipe365 might be starting to fear that this is just a series of complaints about bad films.  And you might have a point.  However, i promise you after today our journey will be reaching sunnier climbs and venturing into European and Asian cinema.  But today is still a day to focus on filmic disasters.  And i have decided to introduce my film nightmare to the mix.  The film that i value as one of the weakest major releases of the 21st Century.  A.I.

 The film follows a family who have lost their son to an illness that there was no cure for.  The company the father works for build robots and give him the prototype of a new bread of machines that have been programmed to love.   However, their son unexpectedly recovers, hates his robot brother, leaving little Johnny no friends (the robot) without a family. 

From reading my very brief description you will pick up (i hope) on the fact that i actually don’t care what happens after this.  The film is possibly the most painful thing i have ever sat through in my life.  And makes the night i accidently sat on a pin really seem quite pleasant.  Everything about this film is dry.  The story is unengaging and pointless.  The early part of the film borrows heavily from Japanese Manga series Astro Boy.  The stories are similar.  A family lose their son.  A robot is brought into replace the son.  For one reason or another this fails and the robot is forced to leave and fend for itself.  The only difference is that Astro Boy is a fantastic character and is brilliant in all its formats.  The same cannot be said for A.I. 

The films star Haley Joel Osment fails to strike the balance between robot and child.  His perfromance is unnerving at best and frankly for most of the film is slightly disturbing.  Nothing about his character is pleasant.  I do not agree with critics such as Roger Ebert who at this time described Osment as “one of the best actors now working”.    Whilst Pay it Forward  and the Sixth Sense were both excellent films his other work around this time was dismal with A.I. being the pinacle poor acting.  Whenever he is in trouble you actually hope that he will be killed because he is so creepy you feel like he has been stollen from interview with a vampire.  The early scenes in particular make everyone over theage of 3 turn away in sheer horror and discomfort at what they are watching.

Jude Law also deserves a dagger in the back for he is woeful performance. There is simply nothing to like about the way plays the role of a gigolo.  His portrayal makes the most over used rent boy on Hampstead Heath seem positively straight.  What does this tell us about Speilberg’s vision of the future? All robots will appear to be gay but secretly are being paid by women to sleep with them?   That the alpha male will die out? Or more likely does it reveal that Jude Laws performance in Wilde actually is one of only two characters that he can create.   Even worst is when Law and Osment are in the same scene together, it is like watching a car crash in slow motion.  You can see what is about to happen but can do nothing but stare in horror.

Speilberg’s role is very ambiguous.  On the one hand his vision of the characters is dismal and severely detracts from the story.  However, the world he creates is both enthralling and beautiful (this is down to the excellent set design and superb cinematography).  The unnerving aura of this world is excellent (this is possibly due to Kubricks earlier influence). And it is both suprising and a shame that he is unable to get his characters to work in this surrounding.  Whilst the vision is admirable, like the 2012 olympics it  is an overpriced farce that nobody wants to see. 

I would reccommned this film to anyone who has the ability to close out what is being shown infront of them and can instead focus on what’s going on around the main plot.  If not then i would say avoid, avoid, avoid before you get turned into a robot because you brain has been stolen from you and taken to a place where happiness is permanently banned.

2/10 – weak

A.I. Artificial Intelligence, 2009. Written & Directed by Steven Spielberg.

Contains Spoilers…

First things first – Haley Joel Osment was a bloody good actor back in the day – I know he was Oscar Nominated for The Sixth Sense, but to be honest I thought, and indeed still think, he was just as good in Pay it Forward (even though the film is bloody awful) and in terms of A.I. I honestly think it’s his best performance thus far. (Is he still acting? I noticed a broadway performance, but other than that, not all that much in the last few years.)

As for the film itself. I remember in the run up to this coming up, film critics, and die hard Spielberg / Kubrick fans were ultra hyped for this – One thing that’s burnt into my memory is reading an article on Yahoo that quoted a number of different critics, who were all theorising that A.I. might stand a chance of becoming the highest grossing film of all time (Which of course didn’t happen – $235 million isn’t bad, but it certainly aint the $1 billion+ that was being projected by some critics at the time). From my own personal point of view, this was actually the first “event film”, in that I followed the production, and really, really anticipated it’s release.

As for the film itself – Going into watch this the first time was a bit strange to say the least. The film came out, over here in the UK, on Thursday September 13th 2001, two days after the 9/11 Attacks, and there were signs up at the Box Office informing people that the film contained “Scenes of Destruction in New York”, which is kinda putting it mildly, given that the city is under-water, when David, Gigolo Joe and Teddy eventually get there.

OK, so that’s the background – Also, I guess it’s worth pointing out from the get-go, that Spielberg is hands down my favourite director, and I’m a paid up Fanboy – I’m not quite at the Dawson Leery level fo devotion, but there we go.

So then – The Acting. I’m suprised it wasn’t mentioned in the podcast, but Haley Joel Osment is pretty much perfect when it comes to David. Like I said at the start, I thought he was really good in The Sixth Sense, and more than deserving of his Oscar nomination, but when it comes to A.I. I think he’s better than his Sixth Sense performance. Having looked at the list of Nominees for Actor in a Leading Role at the Oscars, I’m not sure who I’d bump from the list, but if it were expanded to include 5 nominees, I’d definitely drop his name onto it.

Similarily with Jude Law. I’m not a massive Jude Law fan, but he’s just as good as Gigolo Joe. The rest of the supporting cast are just as good, though as a fan of Brendan Gleeson, it’d have been nicer if he’d been in the film a bit longer. Re-watching it for the Movie Club, I’d forgotten that Adrian Grenier is in the film, so that was a suprise.

Plot wise, or the elephant in the room-wise, it’s interesting how many people think there are Aliens at the end. Watching the film for the first time I remember thinking “Oh that’s cool, the Mecha look like Aliens now”, but clearly knowing they’re AI. Essentially they’re the latest in a long-long-long line of evolution / enhancements to the original generation of Mecha that pre-dates Davids’ model. It’s interesting that in such a future, the Mecha would want to go to the trouble of looking all over for David, just because he’s the last Mecha left who had direct contact with Humanity – I’m not sure why they’d want todo that, or indeed, if, realistically, they’d do that, but there we go

In terms of the film seeming like an amalgamation of three different flicks, and two different directors I agree, however, not in terms of who directed what parts. I found the following quote from Spielberg that offers his take on the whole “The Good Parts Were Kubrick, the bad Spielberg” argument:

“People pretend to think they know Stanley Kubrick, and think they know me, when most of them don’t know either of us,” Spielberg told film critic Joe Leydon in 2002. “And what’s really funny about that is, all the parts of A.I. that people assume were Stanley’s were mine. And all the parts of A.I. that people accuse me of sweetening and softening and sentimentalizing were all Stanley’s. The teddy bear was Stanley’s. The whole last 20 minutes of the movie was completely Stanley’s. The whole first 35, 40 minutes of the film – all the stuff in the house – was word for word, from Stanley’s screenplay. This was Stanley’s vision.

“Eighty percent of the critics got it all mixed up. But I could see why. Because, obviously, I’ve done a lot of movies where people have cried and have been sentimental. And I’ve been accused of sentimentalizing hard-core material. But in fact it was Stanley who did the sweetest parts of A.I., not me. I’m the guy who did the dark center of the movie, with the Flesh Fair and everything else. That’s why he wanted me to make the movie in the first place. He said, ‘This is much closer to your sensibilities than my own.’”"

I’m with Brent on this one – I think it’s a Masterpiece, albeit a flawed one. There are parts that could be removed (Chris Rock and Robin Williams spring to mind), and I definitely don’t like the “Tacked on for Stanleys’ sake” ending – Although I hadn’t looked at the ending the same way you guys had, and it definitely makes it a lot more fucked up, to be honest, I still think the film should have ended with David and Teddy stuck in the Amphibicopter, and David praying to the Blue Fairy, to make him a real boy.

There are a few other things plot-wise that I still can’t quite wrap my head around:

• Gigolo Joes’ Final line – “I Am, I Was” – I still don’t understand fully the significance of it.
• There’s a line towards the start of the film, about how David “Can never die”. And yet, at the end, he goes “to that place where dreams are born” – Either that’s one final throw-away reference to Pinochio, OR it’s supposed to signify that David has been through the transformation, to an extent, that Pinochio goes through.

I also agree that the film throws up some significant questions regarding Humanitys’ connection with Technology, and what happens when technology is abused (this and Minority Report make an interesting double-take on the issue, as shown through Spielbergs’ lense). It also raises an issue about humanity, and how we sould react to, and live with, such technology.

I have a relationship with my computer, in that it allows me to access a variety of information and resources, and connect with people I otherwise wouldn’t be able to interact with. However, it’s pretty much a one way relationship – at the end of the day it’s a non-sentient machine – If it breaks I’ll try and have it fixed, but if it’s beyond repair, then I’ll salvage the parts that can be put into a new machine, and trash the rest (much like my bleeding exercise bike – I kept the saddle, and pedals, and dumped the rest of it.)

Is David real? At the start, when he’s first interacting with Monica & Henry, then later on Martin, then no, I don’t think he is – As was said in the podcast, he’s pretty much just a very, very advanced computer, with a tonne of Artificial Intelligence built into him, packaged into the form of a child, that reacts to the environment he’s placed into.

However, once the machine is imprinted, to Monica, or whoever else, then something changes. It’s almost as if the process is akin to kick-starting a spark of life within the machine, effectively changing David from an IT to a He.

So yeah, that pretty much sums up my thoughts – In short, I think it’s a Masterpiece, albeit a flawed one, that perhaps raises more questions than it has answers for.

Mickey Rourke no filme ‘O Lutador’.

A aproximação da festa do Oscar levanta a questão de quem são os mais talentosos de Hollywood. Porém, alguns nomes chamam a atenção não só por sua desenvoltura nas telas, mas pela capacidade de renascer das cinzas como uma fênix.

Mickey Rourke, de 56 anos, é um exemplo de recuperação espantosa. Após anos banido das grandes produções, ele teve sua grande chance em ‘O Lutador’ e se saiu tão bem que pode levar o Oscar no domingo, dia 22.

Aos 36 anos, em 1986, Mickey Rourke se tornou símbolo sexual ao protagonizar tórridas cenas de amor com Kim Basinger em ‘9 1/2 Semanas de Amor’, e se tornou um nome promissor com ‘O Selvagem da Motocicleta’ (1983). Depois disso foi ao fundo do poço por se desentender e brigar com colegas de set de filmagem.

SARJETA

Sem fama nem dinheiro, tentou ganhar a vida como lutador, mas não deu certo. Agora, o ator é protagonista de um filme que parece retratar sua própria vida. Ele interpreta Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson, um veterano de luta livre, que após um enfarte tem que decidir se quer viver ou continuar lutando.

Com Rourke também foi assim. Ele quebrou o nariz, o maxilar e passou por várias cirurgias no rosto. Após ganhar 10 de 12 lutas, foi pressionado pelos médicos a mudar de vida ou poderia se transformar num vegetal. Voltou ao cinema com a ajuda de amigos como Sylvester Stallone, com um papel em ‘O Implacável’, de 2000. O ator teve alguns bons momentos, como a participação na animação ‘Sin City’ (2005), mas só agora parece ter conseguindo finalmente se reerguer.

Recentemente, Rourke conquistou a estatueta do Bafta, maior prêmio britânico, de Melhor Ator. “Há 15 ou 20 anos as pessoas me perguntam: ‘Qual é seu favorito entre os filmes que você já fez, qual foi seu melhor trabalho? E eu dizia: ‘Ainda não fiz meu melhor trabalho’. Mas agora posso dizer honestamente que este é o melhor filme que já fiz”, disse o ator durante a entrega do prêmio.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR

Jr é outro nome da lista dos atores considerados ‘Highlanders’, ou seja, aqueles que, apesar das agruras da vida, são indestrutíveis! O longa ‘Homem de Ferro’ (2008) representou sua redenção no meio cinematográfico. O ator, de 43 anos, retomou sua carreira em 2002, após tratamento de desintoxicação por drogas e problemas judiciais.

Downey Jr começou a trabalhar ainda na infância, incentivado pelo pai. Fez desde comédias teen como ‘Mulher Nota 1000’ (1985), até produções mais maduras como ‘Chaplin’ (1992).

Pelo fato de estar envolvido com drogas e problemas com a justiça norte-americana, muitos produtores e diretores se recusavam chamar Downey Jr para algum papel. Seu retorno aconteceu aos poucos. Em 2000, ele foi chamado para uma participação na série de TV ‘Ally McBeal’, onde protagonizou o advogado Larry Paul, que lhe garantiu o Globo de Ouro e participação no elenco fixo no seriado.

Mais uma vez, problemas com drogas e a justiça o afastaram da série. No entanto, Downey Jr contou com a ajuda de um grande amigo. Para não ser preso em 2001, precisava de trabalho. Então, foi convidado por Elton John a fazer o clipe da música ‘I Want Love’.

O ator retornou em 2003 ao cinema, mas em pequenos papéis coadjuvantes, como no longa ‘Na Companhia do Medo’, e no político ‘Boa Noite e Boa Sorte’ (2005). ‘O Homem de Ferro’ foi sem dúvida a prova de que o talento venceu o vício.

Moral da história: quem tem amigos em Hollywood, tem tudo!

NO FUNDO DO POÇO

Haley Joel Osment, protagonista do filme ‘O Sexto Sentido’, capotou seu carro em julho de 2006, sob influência de álcool e posse de maconha. Na época, depois do mau comportamento, o adolescente pagou uma multa de US$ 1500 e foi obrigado a frequentar reuniões do AA.

Edward Furlong, que interpretou John Connor em ‘O Exterminador do Futuro’, foi acusado de agressão pela ex-namorada, Jacqueline Domac, com quem viveu por seis anos. Edward também se envolveu com drogas e teria sofrido pelo menos duas overdoses. O vício impediu que ele fosse convidado para interpretar novamente John Connor em ‘O Exterminador do Futuro 3’ (os produtores do filme disseram isso abertamente nas entrevistas de divulgação), sendo substituído pelo ator Nick Stahl.
