Full Image CHICAGO (AP) - Comedian Bernie Mac endured some heckling and a campaign rebuke during a surprise appearance Friday night at a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago, the 50-year-old star of The Bernie Mac Show joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language. My little nephew came to me and he said, 'Uncle, what's the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?' Mac said. I said, I don't know, but I said, 'Go upstairs and ask your mother if she'd make love to the mailman for $50,000.' As the joke continued, the punchline evoked an angry response from at least one person in the audience, who said it was offensive to women. It's not funny. Let's get Barack on, a man shouted from the crowd, which paid $2,300 each to support the Illinois senator. About 15 minutes later, Obama tried to smooth things over with a joke of his own. We can't afford to be divided by race. We can't afford to be divided by region or by class and we can't afford to be divided by gender, which by the way, that means, Bernie, you've got to clean up your act next time, Obama said. This is a family affair. By the way, I'm just messing with you, man. The incident drew response from Obama's campaign, which criticized Mac for his choice of material. Sen. Obama told Bernie Mac that he doesn't condone these statements and believes what was said was inappropriate, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement after the event. Mac, a Chicago native, said he's a longtime Obama supporter and called the presumptive Democratic nominee a man's man while offering him advice for the duration of the campaign trail. People like rumors. They're going to say things like you was at the club with Lil' Kim, and you and Kanye West got into a fist fight, he said. You can't get upset. You've got to keep hope alive. Mac's appearance was Obama's first celebrity event of the evening. Later at a Lincoln Park nightclub, Obama spoke to a raucous crowd of music fans, who paid up to $500 per person to see a performance by Wilco lead singer Jeff Tweedy, and two other band members. Before these guys go, I want them to know that I had heard a rumor that they had suggested that I had nothing by them on my iPod, Obama said. That is not true. I love Wilco.

By John Horn Los Angeles Times Staff Writer May 8, 2008 COUNTLESS comic-book bad guys have made the fatal mistake of underestimating the Hulk. Have Hollywood and the media made the same costly error? For weeks, industry gossip and news reports have focused not only on the shaky stance of Friday's Speed Racer -- which seems certain to be spanked by Iron Man over the weekend -- but also the outlook and production problems for June 13's The Incredible Hulk. Some people inside Hulk distributor Universal Pictures say picking on the not-so-jolly green giant has become as much an industry blood sport as talent agencies' raiding their rival firms. Universal and Marvel Studios, which bankrolled Hulk, believe two recent events have dramatically upgraded the film's prospects. First was last weekend's stunning $99-million opening of Iron Man, the first movie independently developed, produced and financed by Marvel. Second was Hulk's late-April presentation at New York's Comic-Con convention, which immediately sparked a flood of rave Internet postings. Because Hulk doesn't open for more than a month from now, audience tracking surveys have yet to show how interested -- or uninterested -- ticket buyers might be in the adaptation. But Universal and Marvel are both confident that once people see the new film, they will quickly forget the sour aftertaste from the earlier Hulk, which Universal both made and released. The biggest challenge on 'The Incredible Hulk' was Ang Lee's 'Hulk' in 2003, says Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios. In absolute and relative terms, director Lee's superhero movie opened fantastically, grossing $62.1 million in its first weekend. That placed it among the strongest introductions of any comic-book movie, trailing 2002's Spider-Man (which opened with $114.8 million) but ahead of 2000's X-Men ($54.5 million), 2003's Daredevil ($40.3 million) and 2005's Fantastic Four ($56.1 million). But Hulk's real (and crushing) story unfolded over its second weekend, where middling reviews and corrosive word-of-mouth pushed its grosses down a staggering 70%. More action this time In deciding to return to the property after such a brief hiatus, Marvel and Universal tried to figure out what went wrong on the first film and how they could better capture the enduring appeal of one of Marvel's most popular creations. They also realized they would have to cut through a wall of disbelievers. We knew people would be out there saying, 'Why are you doing it again?' says Adam Fogelson, Universal's marketing chief. Universal and Marvel focused on three areas for improvement: Hulk had to be more heroic and romantic and less brooding, the new film needed to be a straight-ahead action film and not a psychological origin story, and Hulk had to be cast and made in a manner to convince moviegoers it was not a cynical shot at an easy payday. The first 'Hulk' was not as much of an action film, says Gale Anne Hurd, a producer on the 2003 original and this summer's retry. And this time the Hulk really has a foe -- the Abomination. The movie does not examine how he became the Hulk. Feige says Lee's first Hulk film delved into a tiny fraction of the character's mythology. I just knew that 99% of the Hulk story hadn't been explored yet, he says. As it did with Iron Man, which stars Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, Marvel chose to cast Hulk with accomplished actors who theoretically wouldn't get involved in a project that wasn't classy. The Hulk (known in friendlier moments as Bruce Banner) is played by Fight Club's Edward Norton, while Emil Blonsky (who is transformed into the Abomination) is played by fellow Oscar nominee Tim Roth (Rob Roy). The film is directed by Louis Leterrier, a young French filmmaker best known for the stylish, low-budget Transporter crime dramas. Late start for trailer The five-year proximity to the first Hulk wasn't Marvel and Universal's only challenge. Because the new edition involved elaborate special effects, Universal wasn't able to release a teaser trailer until March (many high-profile films launch their first trailers half a year before they hit theaters). We wanted to make sure that from the very beginning of the creative campaign that we showed that this movie was different from the first, Fogelson says. But since it took so long for the trailer to arrive, the pessimists controlled the debate. I never quite felt it was a whipping boy, but I could feel the angst: Why

Police were told to stop screening people for weapons before the rally began. DALLAS -- Security details at Barack Obama's rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena. The order to put down the metal detectors and stop checking purses and laptop bags came as a surprise to several Dallas police officers who said they believed it was a lapse in security. Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence, head of the Police Department's homeland security and special operations divisions, said the order -- apparently made by the U.S. Secret Service -- was meant to speed up the long lines outside and fill the arena's vacant seats before Obama came on. Sure, said Lawrence, when asked if he was concerned by the great number of people who had gotten into the building without being checked. But, he added, the turnout of more than 17,000 people seemed to be a friendly crowd. The Secret Service did not return a call from the //Star-Telegram// seeking comment. Doors opened to the public at 10 a.m., and for the first hour security officers scanned each person who came in and checked their belongings in a process that kept movement of the long lines at a crawl. Then, about 11 a.m., an order came down to allow the people in without being checked. Several Dallas police officers said it worried them that the arena was packed with people who got in without even a cursory inspection. They spoke on condition of anonymity because, they said, the order was made by federal officials who were in charge of security at the event.

But, appearing at the same news conference, director Quentin Tarantino defended the new version, saying that the film has changed 180 degrees so far as the emotion is concerned and that he is particularly pleased with the way Russell's character has evolved in the editing. Standing at the rear of the news conference, producer Harvey Weinstein also joined in the discussion, saying that what Tarantino and Rodriguez originally had to remove from their films so that they could be combined reduced the essence of the films.

Re: [scifinoir2] Legendary singer James Brown dies at 73
merry christmasand mr brown YOU WILL BE MISSED On 12/25/06, Said Kakese Dibinga [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Legendary singer James Brown dies at 73 By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer 20 minutes ago James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured Godfather of Soul, whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early Monday, his agent said. He was 73. Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, he said. Copsidas said the cause of death was uncertain. We really don't know at this point what he died of, he said. Pete Allman, a radio personality in Las Vegas who had been friends with Brown for 15 years, credited Brown with jump-starting his career and motivating him personally and professionally. He was a very positive person. There was no question he was the hardest working man in show business, Allman said. I remember Mr. Brown as someone who always motivated me, got me reading the Bible. Along with Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and a handful of others, Brown was one of the major musical influences of the past 50 years. At least one generation idolized him, and sometimes openly copied him. His rapid-footed dancing inspired Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson among others. Songs such as David Bowie's Fame, Prince's Kiss, George Clinton's Atomic Dog and Sly and the Family Stone's Sing a Simple Song were clearly based on Brown's rhythms and vocal style. If Brown's claim to the invention of soul can be challenged by fans of Ray Charles and Sam Cooke, then his rights to the genres of rap, disco and funk are beyond question. He was to rhythm and dance music what Dylan was to lyrics: the unchallenged popular innovator. James presented obviously the best grooves, rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy once told The Associated Press. To this day, there has been no one near as funky. No one's coming even close. His hit singles include such classics as Out of Sight, (Get Up I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine, I Got You (I Feel Good) and Say It Out Loud I'm Black and I'm Proud, a landmark 1968 statement of racial pride. I clearly remember we were calling ourselves colored, and after the song, we were calling ourselves black, Brown said in a 2003 Associated Press interview. The song showed even people to that day that lyrics and music and a song can change society. He won a Grammy award for lifetime achievement in 1992, as well as Grammys in 1965 for Papa's Got a Brand New Bag (best RB recording) and for Living In America in 1987 (best RB vocal performance, male.) He was one of the initial artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, along with Presley, Chuck Berry and other founding fathers. He triumphed despite an often unhappy personal life. Brown, who lived in Beech Island near the Georgia line, spent more than two years in a South Carolina prison for aggravated assault and failing to stop for a police officer. After his release on in 1991, Brown said he wanted to try to straighten out rock music. From the 1950s, when Brown had his first RB hit, Please, Please, Please in 1956, through the mid-1970s, Brown went on a frenzy of cross-country tours, concerts and new songs. He earned the nickname The Hardest Working Man in Show Business. With his tight pants, shimmering feet, eye makeup and outrageous hair, Brown set the stage for younger stars such as Michael Jackson and Prince. In 1986, he was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And rap stars of recent years overwhelmingly have borrowed his lyrics with a digital technique called sampling. Brown's work has been replayed by the Fat Boys, Ice-T, Public Enemy and a host of other rappers. The music out there is only as good as my last record, Brown joked in a 1989 interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Disco is James Brown, hip-hop is James Brown, rap is James Brown; you know what I'm saying? You hear all the rappers, 90 percent of their music is me, he told the AP in 2003. Born in poverty in Barnwell, S.C., in 1933, he was abandoned as a 4-year-old to the care of relatives and friends and grew up on the streets of Augusta, Ga., in an ill-repute area, as he once called it. There he learned to wheel and deal. I wanted to be somebody, Brown said. By the eighth grade in 1949, Brown had served 3 1/2 years in Alto Reform School near Toccoa, Ga., for breaking into cars. While there, he met Bobby Byrd, whose family took Brown into their home. Byrd also took Brown into his group, the Gospel Starlighters. Soon they changed their name to the Famous Flames and their style to hard RB. In January 1956, King Records of Cincinnati signed the group, and four months later Please, Please, Please was in the RB Top Ten. While most of Brown's life was glitz and glitter, he

Also, I remembered the trailers saying Before Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. This is evidently based on much older tale(s) that provided much of the mythological grounding for LOTR and others.

When the evil Twin Kings betray the King of Xanten, the slain monarch's infant son, Prince Siegfried, narrowly escapes with his life, spirited away by the kindly blacksmith Eyvind. Eyvind raises Siegfried as a simple blacksmith and tells the boy nothing of his true kingly heritage. But then the gods hurl a fiery meteor to Earth, to propel Siegfried toward his true destiny. The flash of impact leads him to the meteor, which is rich with the metal of the gods — metal that he and Eyvind forge into his weapon, a sword like no other on Earth. Discovering the meteor also leads young Siegfried to the woman who becomes his one true love: Brunhild, the Valkyrie warrior queen. Duty drives them apart, but they both swear to reunite — and to never love another. Siegfried journeys to the kingdom of Burgund, where he earns the respect of King Gunther and the romantic desire of Princess Kriemhild. Gunther reveals to him that a powerful evil plagues his land, an evil that he is unable to defeat. It falls to Siegfried, armed only with his sword forged from the gods' metal, to slay the wyrm Fafnir — and to claim the dragon's gold as his own. With this treasure, however, comes the curse of its rightful owners: the mystic Nibelungs. Siegfried's success also draws the ire of King Gunther's adviser, the villainous Hagen, who covets the Nibelungs' gold for himself. To seize the treasure from Siegfried, Hagen uses black magic to make the noble prince fall in love with Princess Kriemhild and forget Brunhild, the love that the gods themselves had chosen for him. But Hagen's curse takes on a malevolent life of its own, spinning an expanding web of betrayal, deception and greed that ensnares everyone — plunging a world in chaos, and a kingdom into twilight.

Why does everthing that is said or done with a voice have too be anti american?? On 3/22/06, Bosco Bosco [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My girlfriend forwarded this review to me: http://www.lewrockwell.com/shaffer/shaffer132.html 'V for Vendetta' by Butler Shaffer I have always been a highly-critical moviegoer. I do not attend a film without first learning as much about it as I can, particularly from a synthesis of movie reviews and opinions provided by friends and relatives whose judgments I trust. As a consequence, I am not a movie buff; I have seen only one of the films nominated for major Oscars this year, Syriana, a picture I highly recommend. It is for this reason that I awaited, with skeptical enthusiasm, the opening of V for Vendetta. I had heard so much about it ever since one of my daughters told me, a number of months ago, of a billboard she saw at the Warner Brothers studios with the accompanying language: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. My eager anticipation of seeing this film was tempered, somewhat, by past experiences. Was this to be just another superficial anti-establishment flick, with a few libertarian one-liners thrown in for effect, and a sufficient amount of pyrotechnics to induce teenagers to attend? I have seen enough movies in which tyrannical statists brutalize innocent people, but with an heroic FBI or Justice Department official entering, at the end, to expose and rectify the wrongdoing and, in so doing, leave the audience with the assurance that the system works to correct itself. My wife and I attended the opening day of this film and, I am happy to report, it far exceeded my expectations. Not only is this the most powerful anti-state film I have ever seen one that makes no compromises with the system but is, purely from a film-making perspective, one of the best movies I have seen in some time. Had the subject matter of this film been anti-vivisectionism, the depletion of the rainforests, or the sorrows of divorcées, its acting, writing, direction, and other production features would have made watching it an enjoyable experience. The story takes place in a 21st century England that is ruled by the most vicious of tyrants, played by John Hurt. In his regime, people are continually reminded that a state-imposed curfew is for your protection, with painful consequences awaiting those who do not comply. Into this setting steps the hero, V played by Hugo Weaving a man who had been brutalized by statist functionaries, and who is intent on destroying this most inhumane, fascistic state. I shall not spoil the movie for you by revealing more of its story. Suffice it to say that, from a libertarian/anarchistic perspective, this film is for real! It digs beneath the surface of events to reveal the psychological factors particularly our own fears and institutional interests that combine to make tyranny possible. Natalie Portman who plays the heroine, Evey does a magnificent job playing out the sense of self-liberation so essential to a free life. Prior to my attending this film, I encountered reviews by a few statists who saw the film as a defense of terrorism. Such a comment reveals more about the reviewers than of the movie itself. Any kind of resistance to tyranny is bound to strike terror into the hearts of members of the established order. Thus were the American colonials and Mohandas Gandhi terrorists to the British; the Warsaw ghetto uprisings and the French underground movements terrorist actions to the German government; and the organized resistance of Algerians acts of terrorism to the French. Even today, the Iraqi resistance to the destruction and domination of their country is regarded as terrorism by the invading American state! The openly anarchistic nature of this movie will produce shudders in well-conditioned statists who, in the words of F.A. Hayek, cling to their fear of trusting uncontrolled social forces. Such people will trot out historic instances in which self-proclaimed anarchists killed a few score of people, as evidence of the need for government. That states managed, in the 20th century alone, to slaughter some 200,000,000 people in wars and genocides has never provided an occasion for defenders of political systems to do a practical cost/benefit analysis of these alternative systems! While V for Vendetta contains a great deal of violence, V reminds us, early on, of the social application of Newton's Third Law of Motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In a political context, it is as childish to posit the violence engaged in by one

SG-1 picked up the pace nicely for my taste, and Atlantis stayed on par. I'll still be keeping my Fridays free. Keith Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Don't forget, new Sci Fi Friday starts tonight on the Sci Fi Channel. New eps of the Stargates, which, though still not Star Trek level, are decent timewasters. And of course, the continuation of the Battlestar Galactica retelling of the meeting between Galactica and the Battlestar Pegasus.

Re: [scifinoir2] Medium Premieres tonight
2 things anybody thinking that stargate sg 1 has gotten better ,amazing after 8 seasons. Also this statement on religion a kinda subtle appproach (heh)Mr gousset givin one of the best readings in his career. On 9/19/05, Keith Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The good TV keeps on coming. Medium--starring last night's surprise Emmy winner Patricia Arquette-- is a great show that got me hooked last year. I contend that it, along with Lost, is responsible for the resurgence in shows with a supernatural tone. Worth checking out. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
