Talkin' 'Bout My Generation: New Line's Fresh, Funny 'Be More Chill' Has Real Heart

Talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation: New Line’s Fresh, Funny ‘Be More Chill’ Has Real Heart

By Lynn Venhaus Managing Editor

Every generation has a musical that captures the zeitgeist of the moment, that speaks to them in a special way. My generation of Baby Boomers had “Hair,” Gen X had “Rent,” Millennials had “Spring Awakening” and now Generation Z has the current cultural sensation “Be More Chill.” It’s fierce, fun and frisky.

This is not just another teen misfit story, although…

LGBTQ+ Book List

I work in a library, and I’m pretty good at finding LGBT+ books. My boyfriend @another-broken-heart-cafe , who works with me, has also found quite a few. I finally decided to make an organized list of those and any others I could think of for anyone who’s looking for these kinds of books. I’ve sorted them the best I can and separated them to make what you want as easy to find as possible. There is an adult category, a teen/YA category, and a child category. I’ve read a few of these, but not many, so there’s probably going to be mistakes. I looked up every individual book to organize them the best I could (which took a while because this list currently has 140 books, if I counted correctly). If you find a mistake, just let me know and I’ll fix it in the next update. I plan to make updates occasionally as I find more. Feel free to add on any LGBT+ books you want!

Emile Griffith

Emile Alphonse Griffith (February 3, 1938 – July 23, 2013) was a professional boxer from the U.S. Virgin Islands who became a World Champion in the welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight classes. His best known contest was a 1962 title match with Benny Paret. At the weigh in, Paret infuriated Griffith, a bisexual man, by touching his buttocks and making homophobic remarks. Griffith won the bout by knockout; Paret never recovered consciousness and died in the hospital 10 days later.

Career

Amateur

As a teen he was working at a hat factory on a steamy day when his boss, the factory owner, agreed to Griffith's request to work shirtless. When the owner, a former amateur boxer, noticed his frame he took Griffith to trainer Gil Clancy's gym.

Griffith won the 1958 New York Golden Gloves 147 lb Open Championship. Griffith defeated Osvaldo Marcano of the Police Athletic Leagues Lynch Center in the finals to win the Championship. In 1957 Griffith advanced to the finals of the 147 lb Sub-Novice division and was defeated by Charles Wormley of the Salem Crescent Athletic Club. Griffith trained at the West 28th Street Parks Department Gym in New York City.

Professional

Griffith turned professional in 1958 and fought frequently in New York City. He captured the Welterweight title from Cuban Benny "The Kid" Paret by knocking him out in the 13th round on April 1, 1961. Six months later Griffith lost the title to Paret in a narrow split decision. Griffith regained the title from Paret on March 24, 1962 in the controversial bout after which Paret died, see below.

Griffith waged a classic three-fight series with Luis Rodríguez, losing the first and winning the other two. He defeated middleweight contender Holly Mims but was knocked out in one round by Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. Three years later, on April 25, 1966, he faced middleweight champion Dick Tiger and won a 15-round unanimous decision and the middleweight title. He also lost, regained and then lost the middleweight crown in three classic fights with Nino Benvenuti.

But many boxing fans believed he was never quite the same fighter after Paret's death. From the Paret bout to his retirement in 1977, Griffith fought 80 bouts but only scored twelve knockouts. He later admitted to being gentler with his opponents and relying on his superior boxing skills, because he was terrified of killing someone else in the ring. Like so many other fighters, Griffith fought well past his prime. He won only nine of his last twenty three fights.

Other boxers whom he fought in his career included world champions American Denny Moyer, Cuban Luis Rodríguez, Argentine Carlos Monzón, Nigerian Dick Tiger, Cuban José Nápoles, and in his last title try, German Eckhard Dagge. After 18 years as a professional boxer, Griffith retired with a record of 85 wins (25 by knockout), 24 losses and 2 draws.

Benny Paret

Griffith and Paret's third fight, which was nationally televised by ABC, occurred on March 24, 1962 at Madison Square Garden. Griffith had been incensed by an anti-gay slur directed at him by Paret during the weigh-in. He had worked in a women's hat factory, and later designed hats. Paret touched Griffith's buttocks and called his opponent a maricón, Spanish slang for "faggot";

Griffith had to be restrained from attacking him on the spot. The media at the time either ignored the slur or used euphemisms such as "anti-man". Griffith's girlfriend asked him about the incident saying "I didn't know about you being that way". In the sixth round Paret came close to stopping Griffith with a multi punch combination but Griffith was saved by the bell. After the sixth round Griffith's trainer, Gil Clancy, later said he told him, "when you go inside I want you to keep punching until Paret holds you or the referee breaks you! But you keep punching until he does that!".

In round 12 Griffith trapped Paret in a corner. Stunned after taking hard blows to the head, Paret stopped punching back and slumped to the side against the ropes although his upper body was through them and partly out of the ring. Griffith held his opponent's shoulder keeping him in position while using his free hand to hit Paret, who was no longer trying to protect himself by head movement or an arm guard. Griffith repeatedly landed right uppercuts on Paret's head. Many watching were shocked, and there were calls from ringside for the referee to halt the bout; Norman Mailer said it was the hardest he had ever seen one man hit by another. Paret then lolled back and was hit with a combination.

At this point Ruby Goldstein stepped in, thereby awarding Griffith a win by technical knockout. Immediately after the referee intervened, Paret, who had remained on his feet throughout, slowly slid to the floor. He was carried from the ring on a stretcher and died ten days later in hospital without regaining consciousness. Goldstein had a reputation as a tender-minded referee who stopped bouts at an early stage; admirers said he may have been suffering after-effects from a heart attack. He never refereed again. Paret's manager was also criticized for not retiring his boxer with a timely throwing in of the towel during the beating.

Griffith told a television interviewer "I'm very proud to be the welterweight champion again. I hope Paret is feeling very good." When the seriousness of the situation become known, Griffith went to the hospital where Paret was being treated and unsuccessfully attempted for several hours to gain entry to Paret's room. Following that he ran through the streets while being insulted by passers-by. He would later receive hate mail from Paret supporters who were convinced Griffith intentionally killed Paret.

New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller created a seven-man commission to investigate the incident and the sport. ABC, which televised the fatal bout, ended its boxing broadcasts and other U.S. networks followed; the sport would not return to free television until the 1970s. Griffith reportedly felt guilt over Paret's death and suffered nightmares about Paret for 40 years.

The fight, and the widespread publicity and criticism of boxing which accompanied it, became the basis of the 2005 documentary Ring of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story. In the last scene of Ring of Fire, Griffith was introduced to Paret's son. The son embraced the elderly fighter and told him he was forgiven. However, Paret's widow Lucy (died 2004) refused to meet him.

Trainer

Griffith trained other boxers, including Wilfred Benítez and Juan Laporte of Puerto Rico. Both won world championships. Griffith, Monzon, Benvenuti, Rodriguez, Tiger, Nápoles and Benítez are members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. From 1979-80, he was in Denmark serving as the coach of the Danish Olympic boxing team.

Personal life

In 1971, two months after they met, Griffith married Mercedes "Sadie" Donastorg, who was then a member of the dance troupe "Prince Rupert and the Slave Girls". Griffith adopted Donastorg's daughter. After retiring from boxing, Griffith worked as a corrections officer at the Secaucus, New Jersey Juvenile Detention Facility.

In 1992, Griffith was viciously beaten and almost killed on a New York City street after leaving a gay bar near the Port Authority Bus Terminal. He was in the hospital for four months after the assault. It was not clear if the violence was motivated by homophobia.

Griffith was quoted in Sports Illustrated as saying "I like men and women both. But I don't like that word: homosexual, gay or faggot. I don't know what I am. I love men and women the same, but if you ask me which is better ... I like women."

Death

Griffith died July 23, 2013, at a care facility in Hempstead, New York. In his final years, he required full-time care and suffered from dementia pugilistica. His adopted son, Luis Rodrigo Griffith, was his primary caregiver.

Media representations

In January 2005, filmmakers Dan Klores and Ron Berger premiered their documentary Ring Of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. It was subsequently broadcast on television on USA Network.

Griffith's December 20, 1963 bout with Rubin Carter (which Griffith lost) is depicted in the opening scene of the 1999 motion picture The Hurricane. Griffith is portrayed by former boxer Terry Claybon, while actor Denzel Washington stars as Carter.

In May 2012 it was announced that trumpeter Terence Blanchard and playwright Michael Cristofer were working on an opera titled Champion (opera) based on Griffith's story, which premiered at Opera Theatre of St. Louis on June 15, 2013. The opera was directed by James Robinson and starred Denyce Graves, Aubrey Allicock, Arthur Woodley, and Robert Orth.

Irish director Lenny Abrahamson is working on a biopic focusing on Griffith's rivalry with Paret to be released in 2017.

A stage play based on Griffith's story, Brown Girl in the Ring, premiered on September 26, 2016 in Chicago. Commissioned and produced by Court Theatre, it was written by Michael Cristofer, directed by Charlie Newell, choreographed by Tommy Rapley, and starred Kamal Angelo Bolden, Allen Gilmore, Thomas J. Cox, Jacqueline Williams, Melanie Brezill, Gabriel Ruiz, Sheldon Brown, Sean Michael Sullivan. John Culbert designed sets, Jacqueline Firkins designed costumes, Keith Parham designed lights, and Andre Pluess designed sound and composed original music.

Professional boxing record

Honors

Named The Ring Fighter of the Year for 1964.

Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in its initial year (1990) and the World Boxing Hall of Fame.

A park has been named in Griffith's honor in his native US Virgin Islands.

PILOT season!!

When I was young, Brandon Tartikoff was a hero of mine. I always fancied myself a closet programmer, so I love pilot season. THR published a list of the projects moving forward and as I was procrastinating, some are already on the air.

Let’s start with Stumptown. Inspired by the Oni Press graphic novels, Dex Parios (Cobie Smulders), a strong, assertive and unapologetically sharp-witted (but, let’s face it, hot mess) Army veteran working as a P.I. in Portland. Michael Ealy plays the cop because there must always be one. His boss is Camryn Manheim (yes!!), and the whole reason I heard about the show is Tantoo Cardinal, a powerful local Native American tied to Dex’s past. Oops, almost forgot the best friend, JakeJohnson of New Girl. His past is a little messy, too. He now owns a bar and employs Dex’s brother Ansel (Cole Sibus). It’s a tight cast, and Dex really is a hot mess nut she gets things done.

All Rise, it looks like, was originally pitched as Courthouse, good thing they changed the name! Simone Missick is a former DA who just became a judge and is encircled by Ruthie Ann Mills as her assistant, Lindsay Mendez as her stenographer, J. Alex Brinson as the deputy in her courtroom, and Marg Helgenberger as her mentor. I was not familiar with the first three when I started the show but they are a strong team. The 2 main lawyers are Wilson Bethel, a DA and old friend of Missick’s judge, and Jessica Camacho, a VERY determined public defender. I like the dynamics of the show, it’s very seldom a case of the week situation (even though there is one). Viewers get little snippets of most of the characters’ lives organically so, in my opinion, you enjoyed the show more the more you watch.

Evil is one of the most unique shows on the air this season. It pits science and religion, Katja Herbers plays a skeptical clinical psychologist who joins a priest-in-training (Mike Colter) and a blue-collar contractor ( Aasif Mandvi) to investigate supposed miracles, demonic possessions and other extraordinary occurrences to see if there's a scientific explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.The give and take between science and religion is truly engaging and Michael Emerson is truly creepy and possibly playing for the other side in this battle.

Bob Hearts Abishola follows��Bob (Billy Gardell) who, after having a heart attack, falls in love with his Nigerian nurse (Folake Olowofoyeku). I think I saw the pilot, the rest of the episodes are on my DVR at the moment and thanks to some of the promos and Christine Ebersole, I do plan to get to them. ETA: I’ve watched a couple. Folake Olowofoyeku is really great but because this whole thing seems to involve the progress of their relationship, it runs a little slow for me.

Carol's Second Act is also piling up on my DVR. I’ve been on bedrest because of an injury and have been mostly streaming. But, like Bob, I do plan to get to it. I do like that Patricia Heaton is the lead, a med student of all things. I have to think it’s also still on the air because it also has a strong male lead, Kyle MacLachlan, although I’ve never personally seen him do comedy. Cedric Yarbrough is a strong motivator for me as well as I saw every episode of Speechless. ETA: Well, plans change. I erased them all. I thought if I hadn’t gotten to them by now, watching them would be a chore.

The Unicorn is a sitcom I actually have been watching. I didn’t want to at first because, although I’d heard of Walton Goggins, I had never actually seen him in anything. But it’s kind of like Seinfeld in that there is such an impressively strong group playing the couples who are his friends. Omar Benson Miller (yes!!) and Maya Lynne Robinson are a couple with 4 kids and essentially a no nonsense approach and Rob Corddry and comedy goddess Michaela Watkins are the white color kid with a single kid who is well on her way to nerdhood. These four a Goggins’ lifeline after his wife passes and he becomes a single father. The whole widower thing is handled well. His wife is mentioned or remembered in a completely organic way and allows the show to stay away from a trajectory that could have become maudlin.

Prodigal Son is another fairly unique concept for this season. Tom Payne plays Malcolm Bright, the son of a notorious serial killer called The Surgeon (Michael Sheen) who understands how killers think. The criminal psychologist uses his skills to help an NYPD unit led by Lou Diamond Phillips, a cop he’s known since his youth. What is interesting for me so far is that Bright’s mom, Bellamy Young, is her own kind of nuts, and Malcolm, who started off as a little nutty (I mean consider his past), is well on his way to possibly off his rocker.

Bluff City Law is a case of the week legal drama set in Memphis. The viewer is getting smidges of the character’s private lives each week but character development seems a little slow. I like Caitlin McGee’s performance but I’d never heard of her before watching this. The anchor for the show and the law firm in it is Jimmy Smits. The supporting cast, especially Barry Sloane who’s mostly navigated a single case for the first part of the season, is just starting to get noticed. It’s not something I race to watch but I like it. ETA: It has gotten cancelled. Poor Barry Sloane.

Emergence was a show I was waiting for as it marked the return of Allison Tolman. She plays a sheriff who takes in a young child that she finds near the site of a mysterious accident who has no memory of what has happened. The investigation so far has been weird and sometimes violent and definitely is affecting her family, including father Clancy Brown and ex-husband Donald Faison. But, bless her, she is nowhere near ready to give up. The cliffhanger before Christmas break was very illuminating.

I have watched a couple of episodes of Perfect Harmony (the rest are on my DVR). I love that Bradley Whitford is doing outright comedy although his character, an Ivy League music professor, is quite cranky. But I’m not in a rush to get back to it because it doesn’t seem like there’s enough material for it to run for multiple seasons. ETA: Like Carol’s Second Act, these got dumped off my DVR.

While we’re talking about enough material, Sunnyside was one of the first casualties of the season and, I have to say, I saw it coming. The pilot was well done, Kal Penn played Garrett Shah, a disgraced former New York city councilman who finds his calling when faced with immigrants in need of his help and in search of the American Dream. I know the immigration and nationalization process in the US is a lengthy process but it just didn’t seem like there was enough to keep people coming back despite the presence of talent like Diana Maria Riva.

Almost Family revolves around Julia Beckley (Brittany Snow) having her life turned upside down when it's revealed that her father, a pioneering Nobel Prize-winning fertility doctor, used his own sperm to conceive dozens of children over the course of his career. She connects with two “sisters” in particular and I think that’s what they’ve built the show on but I had a hard time believing any of the negative effects of all this coming from Snow and chose to stop watching. I do have the Australian show it’s based on as part of my Netflix list, I think I will probably end up watching that first.

I did start watching Batwoman before my injury, it being female led and all. Ruby Rose does inspire a bit of monotony in the voiceovers that populate the show but I get it, she’s tired, she’s working hard and only making minimal progress, I understand she’s not full of pep. It is kind of weird to watch her slip into the suit and try to make it work for her and watch Camrus Johnson, the steward of the life Bruce Wayne abandoned, do his best to both avoid and become her Alfred. ETA: That got dumped off the DVR, too. There’s SOOOO much TV.

FBI: Most Wanted is a spinoff of FBI (somebody may have to stop Dick Wolf) featuring  Julian McMahon of Nip/Tuck as the head of team tasked with hunting down fugitives. Sadly, it’s been pretty run of the mill so far except for McMahon’s in-laws, which include Nathanial Arcand as his brother-in-law and a member of his squad.

The CW did reboot Nancy Drew and while I did not hate the concept, I’m still loyal to Pamela Sue Martin and chose not to watch it.

These are the shows that are on the air. Some mid-season shows are still ready to roll out. Some are already being bolstered by promos like Deputy. I am looking forward to that one and watching Stephen Dorff unexpectedly be made the sheriff of LA County. I think and really hope Yara Martinez, last seen and underutilized on Bull, will get to be a meaty part of this drama. ETA: Yara has gotten some featured episodes and done well but she’s essentially in the same boat as David Conrad on the Ghost Whisperer and Jake Weber on Medium.

Tommy is another cop show but thankfully Tommy is Abigail Thomas’ nickname and Edie Falco is front and centre as the first female chief of police for Los Angeles. She got the position as part of a court mandate after some ugliness in the department and often has to deal with the mayor, Tom Sadowski. Tommy’s assembled a pretty tight circle so far and, of course, does things her own way, so I’ve been trying to watch this live.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is SOOOOOO good. I’ve missed Jane Levy so much and this has not only a lovely story but singing and dancing (with choreography by Mandy Moore). After an accident in an MRI machine, Levy’s character can hear people expressing their feelings through song. Her supporting cast is top notch. Alex Newell of Glee plays her neighbor who is trying to help Zoey figure this out, Skylar Astin of Pitch Perfect and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is her BFF, Lauren Graham is her boss, and Mary Steenburgen and Peter Gallagher are her parents. Some of the most touching scenes (and songs) have involved Levy and Gallagher, who has lost many functions, including speech and a lot of movement. Thanks to Zoey’s condition, he is able to express himself to her through song and Gallagher’s voice is so sweet.

Geniuses has become Outmatched and features Maggie Lawson and Jason Biggs as parents of 4 children, 3 of whom are geniuses. I’ve seen 3 episodes so far. Everyone except the “normal” child seems to be waiting for a rimshot. I did enjoy Tony Danza as Jason Bigg’s dad but I am not going to be busting my butt to watch it.

Uninsured has become Indebted. Adam Pally and Abby Elliott end up having to take care of Dave's parents (Fran Drescher and Steven Weber), who have mismanaged their finances and need help paying down a sizable debt. Sadly, like Outmatched, everyone seems to be waiting for a rimshot and the jokes seem really repetitive. Weber’s character, for example, is constantly talking about spending extravagant amounts of money even though he is deep in debt and I doubt they’re going after a dementia storyline with him. When the name Dan Levy popped up on the credits I did a lightning fast search on IMDB to make sure it was not, in my mind, THE Dan Levy of Schitt’s Creek, and thankfully, there are 2 of them.

Lincoln Rhyme, who was played on the big screen by Denzel Washington, is now Russell Hornsby from Grimm and Fox’s failed Proven Innocent. There’s still an Amelia Sachs, there’s still a Bone Collector, and Michael Imperioli is always a strong utility player but I’m finding it collecting on the DVR because of the plethora of good stuff available on Thursday and my need to get through that because sampling Friday’s mostly guilty pleasures.

Katy Keene has made it air. It’s a Riverdale spinoff on the CW and they are spending a lot on advertising but not enough to rope me in. Not that I think it’s not a good show, I’m just not the target audience.

Of the rest of the list, I know the planned reboots of New York Undercover and NYPD blue did not make it out of the gate.

I’m never going to get this post finished if I included all of the pilots on the list I still haven’t talked about, so I’ll go with bullet points about the ones that stood out to me:

Nana: Katey Sagal playing a grandmother. Yeah.

An untitled comedy pairing Leslie Odom Jr. and Kelly Jenrette: GREAT team, well matched I think.

The Republic of Sarah: Sarah Drew of Grey's Anatomy goes from mayor to president. So much story potential there.

Broke: Jaime Camil and Natasha Leggero plus Pauley Perrette - uh, yes please. Sounds like a very strong team to me.

Next is a vehicle for Jon Slattery of Mad Men, who I adore, but I don’t recognize much of the supporting cast, which could be a problem if none of them are able to rise to his level.

Filthy Rich features Kim Cattrall and Gerald McRaney, a very strong base but I’m wondering how the religious community will respond to a story about how imperfect true believers can be. Another plus for me, it’s supposed to be filmed in New Orleans.

Richard Lovely is a vehicle for the uber talented Thomas Lennon, who plays the disgruntled author of the best-selling children's book series, Mr. Mouse. It looks like he’ll have Wendie Malick as a frequent scene partner and I believe that to be an ideal pairing.

Council of Dads is getting a lot of advertising but will involve death. If they handle it as well as The Unicorn has, I think it might have a chance.

That’s all I’ve got. I wish I’d finished this sooner. My DVR is 63% full. I’m going to match more TV.

That's not it; they have exhibited their knowledge in game development such as Mega Man, Road Fighter, Devil May Cry, Ace Lawyer, and Monster Hunt. In an article dated July 30, 2018, it was stated:" Capcom got its most profitable first quarter because of the massive sales results from MONSTER HUNT: WORLD."

Sega has silently become one of the world's best strategy Personal computer game development companies. Time to neglect Sonic, SEGA has shifted its focus on making super strategy games such as Warhammer, Management video games, and colossal fights filled with an army of soldiers.

Ubisoft und Vivendi #WeAreUbisoft

Heute ist der Stichtag - was heißen soll, heute am Donnerstag den 29. September findet die Jahreshauptversammlung bei Ubisoft statt. Klingt erst einmal nicht sehr spannend. Wenn man sich allerdings die neusten Machtkämpfe bezüglich des Einflusses in diesem Konzern anschaut, sieht es etwas anders aus. Der französische Spieleentwickler, welcher im Jahre 1986 gegründet worden ist, gehört mit Standorten in über zwanzig Ländern zu den größten Unternehmen im Bereich der Gaming-Industrie. Bekannte Marken des Developers/Publishers sind unter anderem Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Rayman, mehrere Titel im Tom Clancy Franchise, aber auch Child of Light und die South Park Spiele. Besonders auf Watch Dogs 2 freue ich mich wie doll und verrückt, wie man bereits auf Twitter sehen konnte. Doch nun will sich wohl der Medienkonzern Vivendi in die Firmenpolitik von Ubisoft einmischen. Ein regelrechter Kampf ist entbrannt und ich schaue mir die Sache mal etwas an und lasse meine Gedanken schweifen… Vorweg wieder eine Warnung: Ich verstehe von Aktiengeschäften nicht gerade viel, von Spielen dafür umso mehr. Dies ist also wieder mal nur meine persönliche Meinung in einem Beitrag, in dem ich mir selbst Luftschlösser baue und Katastrophen fantasiere und mir Infos zusammen google bzw. zusammenfasse. Viel Spaß… Einfach erklärt, kann man sagen, dass Vivendi sich Aktien, also Firmenanteile von Ubisoft gekauft hat, die einen so großen Prozentsatz betragen, dass sie durchaus ein Mitspracherecht im Unternehmen rechtfertigen. In unterschiedlichen News ist die Sprache von 17-23 %, während die Gründer von Ubisoft einen Prozentsatz von 15-19% halten sollen. Vivendi, die bereits im Juni diesen Jahres die Tochterfirma Gameloft, welche für Mobile Games zuständig ist, sich zu eigen gemacht haben, ist dafür bekannt Marken zu melken unter Verlust der Qualität und sich Innovationen in den Weg zu stellen. Erst vor drei Tagen machte Ubisoft Schlagzeilen damit, dass das französische Studio einen Buchverlag gegründet hat, welches in Anbetracht der vielen Assassins Creed Bücher, die in Deutschland von Panini herausgegeben werden und durchaus lesenswert sind, sich sowieso schon angeboten hat. Außerdem gab Ubisoft bekannt, dass sie eine Qualitätsoffensive ins Leben gerufen haben und ihren bekannten Marken mehr Entwicklungszeit einräumen würden. Ein neues Assassins Creed und Far Cry wäre wahrscheinlich erst in 2018 möglich. Hört sich gut an. Doch nun kommt Vivendi ins Spiel, die sich bereits 1998 in die Computerspielbranche einkauften. Durch viele Fusionen und Übernahmen von verschiedenen Konzernen erlangten sie auch Macht an den zwei Firmen Sierra Entertainment und Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard ist bis heute immer noch ein großer Name im Gaming-Bereich. Sierra wiederum verschwand von der Bildfläche und selbst der ehemalige Gründer Ken Williams bekundete sein Bedauern darüber, was aus diesem Unternehmen geworden war. 2004 wurde Sierra als Spieleentwickler von Vivendi geschlossen. Dies war für das Unternehmen Vivendi aber nicht weiter schlimm, da Blizzard 2005 mit der Veröffentlichung von World of Warcraft einen riesigen Erfolg verbuchte. Kritikpunkt war und ist bis heute immer wieder die Akte Activision, welche 2007 mit Blizzard zusammengekloppt wurden, um noch mehr Profit rauszuschlagen. Viele sahen darin den Tod der Call of Duty Reihe, welches ich zugegeben nicht ganz so drastisch formulieren würde. Die Verwurstung des kleinen Drachen Spyro, vor allem im Skylander Franchise ist da schon eine andere Sache. Ebenfalls für Kritik sorgten immer wieder die personellen Umstrukturierungen vor allem bei Blizzard, als hochkarätige Namen wie Bill Roper und Jeff Strain aus Kostengründen und Meinungsverschiedenheiten bezüglich einiger Ideen vertrieben worden sind. 2013 wurde das Unternehmen jedoch frei gekauft, nachdem Vivendi einen Verkauf schon ein Jahr vorher in Angriff nehmen wollte und die Anteile von Vivendi sanken von 61% auf 12%. Anfang diesen Jahres wurden auch die restlichen Anteile verkauft. "Dass uns die ganze Welt gehört" scheint nicht nur in einer Dokumentation über Vivendi ein Motto des Konzerns zu sein. Vivendi ist ein großer Medienkonzern, der nicht nur in der Videospielindustrie tätig ist. Universal Music, Studio Canal und Dailymotion gehören ebenfalls dem Konzern. Wenn man bedenkt, dass Activision Blizzard unter der Führung von Vivendi 2011 eine Geldbuße wegen Beteiligung an einem Kartell für Nintendo- Konsolen und Spiele zahlen musste, hinterlässt dies schon einen bitteren Nachgeschmack. Nintendo war selbstredend auch beteiligt, nur als Erwähnung. Teamplayer scheint Vivendi allerdings nicht zu sein. Vivendi Games beendete zusammen mit Activision Blizzard ihre Mitgliedschaft in der Entertainment Software Association, welche nicht nur viel Arbeit in Analysen und Beziehungsaufbau in der Branche steckt, sondern auch die E3 ausrichtet. Mitglieder dieser amerikanischen Organisation sind unter anderem Nintendo, EA, Konami, Microsoft, Sony, Square Enix und auch Ubisoft. Feindliche Übernahmen sind nie besonders schön, doch wir müssen uns auch eingestehen, dass die Gaming-Industrie eine der umsatzstärksten Vertreter schlecht hin ist. Natürlich wird gewinn-orientiert gearbeitet und man versucht so einige Marken zu melken, als wenn es kein Morgen gebe. Trotzdem darf man nicht ignorieren, wie viel Kritik sich bei minderwertiger Qualität bei einem Spiel um den Entwickler und Publisher bildet. Shitstorm ist mittlerweile jedem Gamer ein bekannter Begriff. Ob es nun schlechte Spiele, verschobene Releasedates sind oder die dreiste DLC-Politik, so einiges ist in den letzten Jahren über uns hereingebrochen. Schön ist es dann allerdings, wenn sich ein Spieleentwickler die Kritik der Community zu Herzen nimmt und etwas verändern möchte. Ubisoft gab erst unlängst wieder bekannt, dass sich das Unternehmen sowohl für Assassins Creed, als auch Far Cry mehr Zeit nehmen würde, um die Serien neu zu erfinden und die bestmögliche Qualität zu erzielen. Für mich persönlich ist es vollkommen in Ordnung, wenn ich etwas länger auf ein Spiel warten muss, dann aber ein solides Game in den Händen halten kann. Wie sagte bereits Shigeru Miyamoto: "Ein verschobenes Spiel ist eventuell gut. Ein schlechtes Spiel ist für immer schlecht." Ubisoft musste bei Spielen wie WatchDogs und The Division massiv Kritik einstecken bezüglich des Grafik-Downgrades. Die firmeneigene Plattform uPlay sorgt immer mal wieder für Frust. Also kann man sich als Spieler doch eigentlich nur freuen, wenn Ubisoft eine Qualitätsoffensive startet… Moment…da war ja noch Vivendi. Die Frage dabei ist, ob dieses Vorhaben überhaupt in die Tat umgesetzt werden kann, wenn ein Konzern wie Vivendi durch seine Aktienanteile mitentscheiden kann. Wie bereits gesagt, ist Vivendi dafür bekannt sprichwörtlich über Leichen zu gehen und Marken förmlich zu melken bis nichts mehr da ist. Viele Gamer und Mitarbeiter des Unternehmens plagt nun die Angst, übertrieben gesagt, jedes halbe Jahr ein Assassins Creed raushauen zu müssen, damit die Geldmaschine nur so läuft. Diese Bedenken kann ich durchaus nachvollziehen und reihe mich in den Kreis der Schwarzmaler gleich mal mit ein. In der heutigen Zeit kaufen die Leute nicht nur Produkte, sondern auch das Image/Lifestyle dahinter. Nicht umsonst sind Unternehmen wie Apple oder Hollister für viele so anziehend und für andere so abstoßend. Am Beispiel Hollister sieht man sogar, dass die Geschichte herum um das Unternehmen noch nicht einmal wahr sein muss. In der Gaming-Branche ist das nicht anders. Gabe Newell wird als Gott dargestellt und Shigeru Miyamoto darf angeblich nicht mehr mit dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit kommen, da Nintendo Angst hat, dass ihm etwas passiert. Wie es mit Konami nach dem Verlust von Hideo Kojima aussieht, kann man im neuen Trailer zu Metal Gear Survive eindrucksvoll bestaunen. Die Guillemot-Brüder gründeten 1986 Ubisoft, wobei Yves Guillemot bis heute der Chef des Unternehmens ist. Kleine Info am Rande: Sein Bruder Michel war der CEO von Gameloft, welches ja im Juni von Vivendi übernommen wurde. Yves Guillemot sagte in einem Interview: "Vivendi würde die Werte des Unternehmens zerstören." und dass er sich auf keine Kompromisse einlassen würde, da die Unabhängigkeit entscheidend für den Erfolg von Ubisoft wäre. Zu Wehr setzten sich die Mitarbeiter mit der Aktion unter dem Begriff #WeAreUbisoft und versuchen so viel Unterstützung wie möglich zu bekommen. Diese Aufmerksamkeit haben sie besonders in Kanada bekommen, da dort mehrere Studios ansässig sind. Wenn es tatsächlich dazu kommen sollte, dass die Familie Guillemot keinerlei Kontrolle mehr über ihr eigenes Unternehmen hat, kann dies nicht nur dem Image stark schaden. Na gut, mögen jetzt einige sagen, dann darf man nicht seine ganzen Firmenanteile verkaufen. Ein Funke Wahrheit ist an dieser Aussage durchaus dran, auch wenn es in der Welt der Aktien durchaus anders aussieht. Eine Aussage, die mich in diesem Konflikt derbe gestört hat, ist die kritiklose und unreflektierte Heiligsprechung von Ubisoft. Sofort wenn ein Feind auftaucht, um es man wieder überspitzt zu sagen, sind alle Probleme vergessen und Ubisoft scheint eines der besten Unternehmen der Welt zu sein. Voll von Kreativität und Innovationen kann man die immer gleichen Turm-Gebiets-Eroberungsspiele, wie Assassins Creed, FarCry und WatchDogs nicht bezeichnen. Für mich sind es zwar gute Spiele und mit Child of Light wurden auch mal andere, schöne Wege eingeschlagen. South Park, obwohl eine etablierte Marke im Serien-Bereich, strotze nur so vor Witz und Charme. Besserung wurde ja bereits versprochen, aber bitte nicht alle Kritik vergessen. Meine Hoffnung besteht eigentlich nur darin, dass die Qualitätsoffensive von Ubisoft Früchte trägt, die Mitarbeiter zufrieden und glücklich sind und ich nie mehr so etwas wie Assassins Creed Unity ertragen muss. Update: Konferenz ist beendet und Vivendi hat keine Forderungen auf einen Sitz im Aufsichtsrat gestellt. Die Möglichkeiten einer feindlichen Übernahme durch weitere Aktienkäufe kann aber nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Mal schauen, wie es weitergeht…

Noticias de series de la semana: El tribunal da la razón a Ryan Murphy

Olivia pierde

El tribunal ha dado la razón a Ryan Murphy por la representación de Olivia de Havilland en Feud. Cree que prevalece la libertad de expresión y señala el derecho a embellecer un registro histórico. La jueza Anne Egerton escribe: "Si la persona representada en estos trabajos es una estrella de renombre o un desconocido, éste no es dueño de la historia. No tienen el derecho legal de controlar, dictar, aprobar, desaprobar o vetar la representación que hace el creador de personas reales". Ryan Murphy ha declarado que es "una victoria para la comunidad creativa y la Primera Enmienda". Olivia de Havilland y sus muchos fans, sin embargo, están -según el escrito de su abogado- "debidamente decepcionados por esta opinión, que no equilibra la Primera Enmienda y otros derechos importantes". La Corte mantiene que FX no está obligada a pagar a de Havilland por los derechos de su historia, y su abogado ya prepara la apelación, que se presupone destinada al Tribunal Supremo de California.
