Pissed Jeans — Half Divorced (Sub Pop)

Photo by Ebru Yildiz

“Too bad/we’re screwed,” Pissed Jeans vocalist Matt Korvette triumphantly spewed on “No Convenient Apocalypse,” the eponymous side A of last year’s standalone single. Come this year and the sentiment hasn’t changed much. But, for this band, has it ever? Gleeful, supercharged pessimism is what they do. If anything, in Half Divorced, the Allentown, PA, quartet’s sixth full-length Jeans get even more explicitly bummed; the stakes yet higher, the scraping on the way to rock bottom increasingly frantic. Titles like “Cling to a Poisoned Dream” and “Sixty-Two Thousand Dollars in Debt” make past complaints like “Ashamed Of My Cum” (Shallow, 2005) or “Caught Licking Leather” (Hope For Men, 2007) seem trivial in the face of an interminable mid-life crisis, 21st century-style.

“Cling to a Poisoned Dream” and “Sixty-Two Thousand Dollars in Debt” are back to back and act like a pair. Both are fast and raucous and delivered with a truckload of bravado. Of course, this being a Pissed Jeans record, the bravado never lapses but the words strip it naked. The former’s title is a refrain, each hopeful qualifier immediately undercut by a reminder that the pursuit will, at best, make you sick, even if you manage to “keep [your] head down [and] swallow what’s left of your pride.” The latter gets more specific. While you’re clinging, make sure you’re paying things down – sure, you’ll inevitably “pass it on to [your] child,” but you can look forward to “someday [being only] sixty one thousand dollars in debt.” Maybe you’ll even smile once in a while!

Pissed Jeans are one of the few bands who can be described (with little fear of provoking a contemptuous eye roll) as “skewering” things. This applies to their treatment of personal near-ruin, as in “Sixty-Two Thousand…” and “...Poison Dream,” and, just as sharply, to the odious other — the people they’ve been unlucky enough to interact with. The apex of the form is, appropriately, “People Person” from Hope For Men, but Half Divorced’s “Helicopter Parent” is a worthy addition to their canon of oblivious and unpleasant characters. From the first line (“Oh you started getting bored, so you went and had a kid”), Korvette excoriates the psyche, the past, the present and future of his titular target over an ominous, feedback-riddled stomp laid down in unison by the rest of the band. By the last lines (“It's time to reflect and maybe contemplate respect instead of/micromanagement because it's just a generational dead-end”), he’s moved past annoyance to hit on something more fundamentally disturbing. It’s not only financial debt that one generation passes down to another, but their vapidities and hang-ups. It’s a dead-end; it’s a vicious cycle.

Like their Sub Pop label-mates in Mudhoney, Pissed Jeans back up their humor and disgust with hurtling, curdling sonic assaults – you can practically feel yourself shoved into a cloud of sweat and moshing bodies when the chorus hits on “Junktime.” But there’s often more than initially batters the ear. For all the sturm und drang on Half Divorced, the component parts of each song are well-differentiated and clean. You get a clear sense of both the individual performances and their interaction. For instance, on “Everywhere Is Bad,” we’re greeted by the thick slashes of Bradley Fry’s guitar, but never lose track of the tight, manic beat of Randall Huth’s bass as it scales the writhing jungle gym of sound, courtesy of Fry and drummer Sean McGuinness — delightfully, the latter takes a break from blasting elephant-caliber birdshot to bust a round, infectious solo. The call-and-response litany of dismissals, in four words or less, of everywhere from Mars (“could use some air”) to hell (“too many dudes”), are the highlight of the song, but the groove carved out by the band’s heavy agility makes the punchlines stick.

Pissed Jeans have always been able to make a personal grievance or mild hassle sound existential — see putting on a tight black shirt versus not bothering on “False Jesii Part 2” (King Of Jeans, 2009) — but with Half Divorced the desperation gets dialed up. When, on “(Stolen) Catalytic Converter,” Korvette says “I feel sick/but I can’t puke,” it seems right to extrapolate the almost absurd helplessness widely. The crass, humiliating and, worst of all, mundane depths of lives that aren’t quite falling apart are well-plumbed in the back catalog and that chronicle continues here, with vigor and feeling. Like the figure on its cover, Half Divorced stares down a smoking hole in the ground, the band hollering for everyone (someone, anyone!) to come look. “Too bad/we’re screwed.” At least we know it now.

some germany women’s players i personally rate highly

im being so annoying with my posting but it’s the world cup so...

so i thought i’d do a little post about germany’s women’s squad! currently our coach is voss-tecklenburg, who became the coach of germany at an inconvenient time- the team is in a state of transition. krahn, behringer, laudehr and mittag are no longer part of the squad- and they were linchpins in the squad. wolfsburg’s popp, marozsán and schult (though she’s struggled with a loss of form) have leadership roles within the team.

there is a good blend of experience and youth- hendrich, our FC Bayern defender, and potsdam’s huth are part of the squad still. däbritz, our fc bayern CM and magull, another fc bayern player- are you seeing a pattern here-are talented prospects.

we’ve meddled with a back 3 and a back 4, but in the words of jupp heynckes, 4-2-3-1 is king. our attacking mindset is what the team’s about, in my opinion. but i’m not sure how we’re going to go- we’ll see in the first group game!

SARA DÄBRITZ - PSG (BUT REALLY FC BAYERN)

ein Mädchen des FC BAYERN! she was with us anyway. find me a box to box central mid with quicker feet. she can spend 10 mins  breaking up play and hitting safe passes, and then appear out of thin air to do a solo run between defenders and send them to the shadow realm. she’s always up for a thundercunt from twenty yards out too.

DZSENIFER MAROZSÁN- LYON

she’s god-tier. incredible. probably the best women’s playmaker on the planet. a lyon player (which shows you already that she’s good) who scored in the 2019 champions league final. she’s also won the champions legaue with franfkurt in 2015 she wasnt healthy to play, but in 2019 here she is, fit to play, even after a life-threatening condition in 2018. she’s a classic no.10 whose ball control is a cut above the rest of the girls- beautiful touches, dangerous and ambitious play and not someone to make many mistakes. with a fit no.10 and the best in the world at that to propel the offense i’m hoping to see some beautifully crafted goals.

ALEXANDRA POPP- WOLFSBURG

she’s spent some time getting adjusted in germany’s front line but now she’s established as a centre forward. she’s a classic forward, with a complete physical presence, and good movement on the ball. she was voted in the top 20 women’s football players. she has scored 100 career goals in the f.bundesliga and has 46 goals in 96 appearances

GIULIA GWINN- FREIBURG (SOON TO BE FC BAYERN)

guess what club this freiburg prospect is coming to? that’s right, fc bayern. she can be deployed on the right wing but can also be at right back. she’s also great in midfield. she has nice pace and she’s very promising, in the build up to the world cup she’s been one of the people i’m most excited for. excited to see how she develops as she still has a huge ceiling for growth. 

so what am i expecting from this team? the coach has had short reign and we are yet to fully see what these girls can do- but i want them to fucking win, of course. we’ve got plenty of talent and prestige that other teams dont have. fuck france anyone would look good against south korea, we’re the team to watch :)

[dermontag]

Rostock hat Klassenerhalt sicher HSV spektakelt sich zurück in den Aufstiegskampf 30.04.2022, 15:23 Uhr Weil Werder am Freitag dramatisch patzt und St. Pauli und Nürnberg sich die Punkte teilen, springt der Hamburger SV mit einem dominanten Sieg beim FC Ingolstadt zurück auf den einige Wochen schier unerreichbar scheinenden Relegationsrang. Dresden verpasst Big Points, Rostock ist gerettet. FC Ingolstadt 04 - Hamburger SV 0:4 (0:2) Der Hamburger SV ist wieder mitten drin im Aufstiegsrennen der 2. Fußball-Bundesliga. Die Hanseaten gewannen beim als Absteiger bereits feststehenden FC Ingolstadt mit 4:0 (2:0) und schoben sich mit 54 Punkten zunächst auf Relegationsrang drei. Die ersten drei HSV-Treffer fielen jeweils nach Kopfbällen. Allerdings kann Darmstadt 98 am Samstagabend (20.30 Uhr/Sky und Sport1) gegen Erzgebirge Aue wieder vorbeiziehen. Der Ex-Ingolstädter Sonny Kittel (27.) und Kapitän Sebastian Schonlau (29.) trafen für die Hamburger, die den dritten Sieg in Folge einfuhren, per Doppelschlag und stellten vor dem Seitenwechsel die Weichen auf Sieg. Robert Glatzel (57.) auf Vorarbeit von Kittel erhöhte mit seinem 19. Saisontor auf 3:0, für den Schlusspunkt sorgte Mikkel Kaufmann (81.). Am Freitag hatte Werder Bremen durch ein 2:3 gegen Holstein Kiel die Tabellenführung an Schalke 04 (2:1 beim SV Sandhausen) abgeben müssen. Der FC St. Pauli war durch den späten Ausgleichstreffer über ein 1:1 gegen den 1. FC Nürnberg nicht hinausgekommen. Bereits in der 14. Minute besaß Glatzel die erste Chance für die Gäste. Aus 15 Metern verfehlte der Torjäger den Kasten der Schanzer nur ganz knapp. In der 35. Minute besaß Florian Pick für den FCI die große Chance zum Anschlusstor, aber einem feinen Solo scheiterte an Torwart Daniel Heuer Fernandes. Zwei Minuten später ging ein Seitfallzieher von Kittel über das Tor der Hausherren. Hansa Rostock - SC Paderborn 07 0:0 Aufsteiger Hansa Rostock hat vorzeitig den Klassenerhalt geschafft. Die Mannschaft von Trainer Jens Härtel erreichte gegen den SC Paderborn ein 0:0 (0:0) und beseitigte damit aus eigener Kraft die letzten Zweifel. Hansa hat nun 40 Punkte auf dem Konto, Paderborn (48) wird eine ordentliche Saison wohl im oberen Mittelfeld beenden. "Solange das nicht rechnerisch durch ist, gibt es keinen Grund nachzulassen", hatte Härtel vor der Partie gesagt und gewarnt: "Wir müssen zu 100 Prozent unsere Leistung abrufen. Alle wollen das Ziel so schnell wie möglich erreichen." Das Ostseestadion war in froher Erwartung bestens gefüllt - und Hansa hatte durch John Verhoek (8.) die erste Großchance der Partie. Der Rostocker Topscorer scheiterte aber an SCP-Keeper Jannik Huth, der mit dem Fuß zur Stelle war. In der Folge rückte Markus Kolke in den Fokus, der Hansa-Torhüter verhinderte gegen die beste Auswärtsmannschaft der 2. Liga mit mehreren Glanzparaden einen Rückstand. Dynamo Dresden - SSV Jahn Regensburg 1:1 (0:0) Dynamo Dresden hat den direkten Abstieg noch nicht ganz abgewendet. Die Sachsen mussten sich im Heimspiel am Samstag gegen Jahn Regensburg mit einem 1:1 (0:0) zufriedengeben, sind allerdings mit 31 Punkten kaum mehr von Relegationsrang 16 zu verdrängen. Christoph Daferner (73.) erzielte das 1:0 für die Gastgeber, Andreas Albers (88.) gelang der Ausgleich. Noch kann somit Erzgebirge Aue mit drei Siegen an Dynamo vorbeiziehen. Als Absteiger steht der FC Ingolstadt fest. Der Abstand von Dynamo auf den SV Sandhausen auf Position 15 beträgt allerdings sieben Zähler, sodass sich Dresden wohl auf das Relegationsduell gegen den Dritten der 3. Liga einstellen muss. Schon in der sechsten Minute setzte Michael Akoto mit einem Schuss gegen die Latte für ein erstes Ausrufezeichen aus Sicht der Gastgeber. Die Dresdner begannen mit viel Elan, doch im weiteren Verlauf verflachte die Partie. Torchancen blieben auf beiden Seiten Mangelware. Erst in der 43. Minute war wieder Akoto involviert, doch er traf den Ball sechs Meter vor dem Tor nicht richtig, sodass Jahn-Kapitän Benedikt Gimber den Schuss noch blocken konnte.

La aplicación de búsqueda orientada a la privacidad Xayn recauda $ 12 millones de patrocinadores japoneses para ingresar a los dispositivos

Nueva Noticia publicada en https://noticiasq.com/la-aplicacion-de-busqueda-orientada-a-la-privacidad-xayn-recauda-12-millones-de-patrocinadores-japoneses-para-ingresar-a-los-dispositivos/

La aplicación de búsqueda orientada a la privacidad Xayn recauda $ 12 millones de patrocinadores japoneses para ingresar a los dispositivos

En diciembre de 2020 cubrimos el lanzamiento de un nuevo tipo de motor de búsqueda basado en aplicaciones para teléfonos inteligentes, Xayn.

«¡¿Un motor de busqueda?!» Te oigo decir Bueno, sí, porque a pesar de la conveniencia de la capacidad de los motores de búsqueda modernos para adaptar sus resultados de búsqueda al individuo, este seguimiento de usuarios se produce a expensas de la privacidad. Esta vigilancia masiva podría ser lo que mejore el motor de búsqueda de Google y la orientación de anuncios de Facebook, por nombrar solo dos ejemplos, pero no es muy bueno para nuestra privacidad.

Es cierto que los usuarios de Internet pueden cambiar al DuckDuckGo con sede en EE. UU., O quizás al Qwant de Francia, pero lo que ganan en privacidad, a menudo lo pierden en la experiencia del usuario y la relevancia de los resultados de búsqueda, debido a esta falta de adaptación.

Lo que Xayn, con sede en Berlín, ha creado es personalizado, pero una búsqueda web segura para la privacidad en teléfonos inteligentes, que reemplaza la IA basada en la nube empleada por Google et al. con la IA innata incorporada en los teléfonos inteligentes modernos. El resultado es que no se cargan datos sobre usted en los servidores de Xayn.

Y este enfoque no es solo para «fanáticos de la privacidad». Este modelo atrae cada vez más a las empresas que necesitan búsquedas pero que no necesitan la posición dominante en el mercado de Google.

Y la evidencia llega hoy con la noticia de que Xayn ha recaudado casi $ 12 millones en fondos de la Serie A liderados por los inversores japoneses Global Brain y KDDI (un operador de telecomunicaciones japonés), con la participación de patrocinadores anteriores, incluido Earlybird VC en Berlín. El financiamiento total de Xayn ahora asciende a más de $ 23 millones.

Parecería que la fusión de Xayn de un motor de búsqueda, una fuente de descubrimiento y un navegador móvil ha atraído a estos actores del mercado asiático, particularmente porque Xayn puede integrarse en dispositivos OEM.

El resultado de la inversión es que Xayn ahora también se enfocará en el mercado asiático, comenzando con Japón, así como en Europa.

Leif-Nissen Lundbæk, cofundador y director ejecutivo de Xayn dijo: «Demostramos con Xayn que puede tenerlo todo: grandes resultados a través de la personalización, privacidad por diseño a través de tecnología avanzada y una experiencia de usuario conveniente a través de un diseño limpio».

Añadió: «En una industria en la que vender datos y publicar anuncios en masa son la norma, optamos por liderar con privacidad y poner la satisfacción del usuario al frente y al centro».

La financiación proviene de una legislación como la GDPR de la UE o la CCPA de California que han sensibilizado al público sobre los datos personales en línea.

Desde su lanzamiento, Xayn dice que su aplicación se ha descargado alrededor de 215.000 veces en todo el mundo y se espera una versión web de su aplicación pronto.

Durante una llamada, Lundbæk amplió el aspecto KDDI de la recaudación de fondos: “La asociación con KDDI significa que daremos a los usuarios acceso a Xayn de forma gratuita, mientras que la empresa, como KDDI, es el cliente real, pero regala nuestro motor de búsqueda. gratis.»

Las características principales de Xayn incluyen resultados de búsqueda personalizados; una alimentación personalizada de todo Internet, que aprende de sus deslizamientos similares a Tinder, sin recopilar ni compartir datos personales; y una experiencia sin publicidad.

Naoki Kamimeada, socio de Global Brain Corporation, dijo: «El mercado de la búsqueda privada en línea está creciendo, pero Xayn está muy por encima de todos los demás debido a la forma en que están reconsiderando cómo debería ser encontrar información en línea».

Kazuhiko Chuman, director del Fondo de Innovación Abierta de KDDI, dijo: “Este motor de descubrimiento europeo combina de manera única una inteligencia artificial eficiente con un enfoque de protección de la privacidad y una experiencia de usuario fluida. En KDDI, buscamos constantemente empresas que puedan dar forma al futuro con su experiencia y tecnología. Por eso fue una combinación perfecta para nosotros «.

Además de los tres cofundadores (Leif-Nissen Lundbæk, director ejecutivo, el profesor Michael Huth, director de investigación y Felix Hahmann, director de operaciones), el Dr. Daniel von Heyl se incorporará como director financiero. Frank Pepermans asumirá el papel de director de tecnología y Michael Briggs se incorporará como director de crecimiento.

Artist of the Day

Kay Hassan

Untitled, 2013, paper construction, 106 x 70 inches

Kay Hassan was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1956. Though he is best known for his large scale ‘constructions’ made of torn, reconfigured, and pasted pieces of printed billboard posters, Hassan works in numerous media including painting, collage, installation, video, sculpture, and photography. Hassan's work is unified by a continuing interest in themes of migration, dispossession, trade, overproduction, waste, and urban life.

In an October 2000 feature in ArtThrob Hassan said, "Our lives have always been torn and put together and torn - people have always been pushed around. You see it in the streets, in the kids begging, those eyes, the way they look at you. Imagine being a parent, and having kids that have to be fed, but you have no money - so what do you do - you have to commit a crime. But I don't only reflect what is happening in South Africa, it's a reflection of what is happening in this world."

Kay Hassan has exhibited his work internationally in a career spanning over 30 years. Selected solo and group exhibitions include Daimler Contemporary, Haus Huth, Berlin, Germany, 2010; Nirox Foundation, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa, 2010; 53rd Venice Biennale, 2009; Stenersenmuseet, Oslo, 2009; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, 2008; Urbanation, Johannesburg Art Gallery, 2008; Kay Hassan, Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland, 2003; Bildmuseet, Umea, Sweden, 1998; and the Gwangju Biennale, South Korea, 1995. In 2000, Kay Hassan was awarded the DaimlerChrysler Award for South African Contemporary Art, and exhibited in the 2015 Venice Biennale: All the World’s Futures, May 9 – November 22, 2015. courtesy of jackshainman.com

Jupiter & Okwess — Na Kozonga (Everloving)

Photo by Micky Clément

Jupiter Bokondji has been everywhere and knows everyone. A native of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he spent his teenage years in Berlin where his father was a diplomat, immersing himself in psych, rock, pop and soul in the West, before returning to his birthplace as a near adult to immerse himself in the rich musical traditions of central Africa. Na Kozonga attests to the breadth of his experience and interest; it is as African as can be, but very much a rock album.

Consider, for instance, the cover “Na Kozonga” whose title translates as “Going Home.” It’s a loose cover of the 1973 German pop chestnut, “Hallo Bimmelbahn,” by the band Nighttrain, whose brief career must have been in full swing when Bokondji was enrolled in a Berlin secondary school. It’s a relic of Bokondji’s time away in that sense, and it swaggers with the kind of power-chord punctuated, hands-in-the-air 1970s rock and soul empowerment that Sly and the Family Stone took to its zenith. And yet, though, Bokondji sings most of it in German and hews to the melody laid down by the Huth brothers in the original, the song runs hotter, rougher and altogether more exciting than the original. The surging communal positivity of vocal interplay, the intricate percussion, the Sam & Dave style soul climaxes, the wigged out keyboard solo near the end, all lift it up and away from its source, towards something more exotic and powerful and deeply felt. It’s a song getting off the plane after a long time away, feeling a blast of heat and being undeniably home.

Bokondji works with a broad and diverse array of artists on Na Kozonga, starting with producer Mario Caldato, a Brazilian best known for his work with the Beastie Boys. You imagine that Caldato probably brought in Marcelo D2 for “Telejayi.” Caldato and Rio-based hip hop star have worked together before, honing a blend of rap and samba that mirrors, in a lot of ways, Jupiter & Okwess’ powerful blend of pop rock and African tradition. Likewise Chilean singer and rapper Ana Tijoux, on “Mieux Que Ça” (“Better Than This”) makes perfect sense; she is as fiery and modern and politically engaged as Bokondji himself. (Soul Coughing’s Mike Doughty is a less obvious choice, but it’s a very big tent that Bokondji pitches.)

The best meeting of minds, however, comes late in the album, when the six person Okwess band is augmented by New Orleans’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band in “Abalegele Gale.” The two bands met at the New Orleans Jazz Festival, got a chance to jam and found something worth pursuing, a squall of Dixieland horns and clarinet that peel off into chaotic joy out of the songs’ very African fluidity, warmth and sway.  It’s a reminder that all music is just that, music, and that bonds can be forged across continents and styles, just by letting things rip.

Gary Neville coloca a Van Dijk por encima de Sergio Ramos y Varane

El exjugador del Manchester United habló en Sky Sports sobre el nivel del central holandés en su actual equipo. 

Uno de los hombres de moda en la Premier League está siendo el central Van Dijk. El holandés del Liverpool está disputando una gran temporada, tanto que se le coloca en la órbita de los grandes clubes europeos para el próximo mercado de fichajes. Su evolución y su progresión con Jurgen Klopp ha sido incontestable, tanto que alguna leyenda de la liga inglesa como Gary Neville ha colocado al zaguero por delante de Sergio Ramos y Varane. 

El jugador del Liverpool, Van Dijk, disputando un partido en la temporada 2018/1019.

El exjugador del Manchester United charló con Sky Sports sobre el rendimiento del central, que sigue con las opciones intactas de poder levantar el campeonato ante un Manchester City que tiene un partido menos. A pesar de que todavía quedan varios partidos para decidir esa suerte, el protagonista no ha dudado en confirmar que está  "siendo el jugador del año".

El ya conocido en España por pasar por el banquillo del Valencia, ha asegurado que "Miro hacia atrás en mi carrera y veo jugadores como Stam, Ferdinand, Pallister... Van Dijk hace que todos sus compañeros se sientan seguros. Hace el trabajo de los cuatro defensores. Creo que Sergio Ramos y Varane recientemente fueron los mejores defensores, pero ahora no hay dudas de que Van Dijk supera a todos. Cabecea, defiende bien, toca muy bien el balón... sin dudas es el jugador del año".

Van Dijk, el más buscado

No solo Neville se ha pronunciado sobre el holandés, ya que también Robert Huth dejó su opinión sobre el futuro prometedor del central. Centrándose plenamente en el conjunto blanco, Huth aseguró que "Varane y él harían una buena pareja de centrales en el Real Madrid", pero tampoco quiso pasar por alto la figura de Sergio Ramos, de quien consideró que "está en la cima de su carrera" pese a ser "más mayor que Van Dijk".

Germany hammer Ukraine for perfect international break

Germany nearly hit a magical ten goals scored for their second straight game when they beat Ukraine 8-0 in qualifying for Euro 2021. The German women are, obviously, the heavy favorites in Group I; however, they sure seem determined to show they’re going to score a bunch of goals in the process.

Sara Dabritz grabbed a hat trick while solo goals were scored by Lina Magull, Felicitas Rauch, Lena Oberdorf, Svenja Huth, and Leonie Maier.

Oberdorf’s goal was her first with the senior national team. The 17 year old has become a regular under Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. While the Germans were cruising in this one, the final four goals all came after the 80th minute. With the Ukraine reeling, Germany pounced and punished every minor mistake.

The Germans have picked up six points out of the first two games, while scoring eighteen goals and conceding zero. They’ll return to qualifying in the October international break. Germany will host Ukraine on October 5 and travel to Greece on October 8.

Germany XI: Frohms — Rauch, Oberdorf, Doorsoun, Gwinn (61 Maier) — Dabritz, Maroszan, Magull (61 Dallmann) — Huth, Popp, Buhl (75 Knaak)

Entertainment Weekly ha rilasciato nuove immagini dedicate a X-Men: Dark Phoenix che includono un nuovo look alla Jean Grey di Sophie Turner.

Dark Phoenix segnerà il secondo tentativo del franchise dei film degli X-Men di adattare la classica saga dei fumetti omonima, con Sophie Turner che è stata incaricata di portare in scena la lotta interna di Jean Grey sul grande schermo. Ora, una nuova immagine di Dark Phoenix offre ai fan uno sguardo alla Jean Grey di Sophie Turner che scatena il suo potere su una sventurata vittima mentre una seconda immagine mette in luce eroi degli come Men Chares Xavier, Magneto, Storm, Beast, Ciclope, Nightcrawler e altro.

Dopo che un incontro devastante con Jean conduce alla morte di un membro della squadra cardine, stando alle informazioni, i mutanti – tra cui Magneto – si divideranno su se salvare o distruggere la rossa tormentata. (Jessica Chastain appare anche come un alieno mutante che cerca di controllare Jean per alcune nefaste ragioni.) Spiega Kinberg:

“La storia sembrava essere il culmine di tutti questi film degli X-Men, e sembrava appropriato l’uccidere uno dei personaggi principali.”

La lotta interna di Jean ha significato il ruolo più difficile finora per la star del Trono di Spade di 23 anni. Turner ha studiato la schizofrenia e il disturbo dissociativo dell’identità per cercare di dar credibilità alla sua performance.

“Ho trovato questo fantastico video su YouTube, ed è stato come avere delle allucinazioni uditive”, dice l’attrice. “L’ho messo nelle mie orecchie e ho girato New York City. Ho cercato di farlo svolgendo compiti banali come fare shopping e parlare con le persone per strada, ed è stato faticoso!”

DARK PHOENIX

“In DARK PHOENIX, gli X-MEN affronteranno il loro nemico più formidabile e potente: uno di loro, Jean Gray. Durante una missione di salvataggio nello spazio, Jean viene quasi uccisa quando viene colpita da una misteriosa forza cosmica. Una volta tornata a casa, questa forza non solo la rende infinitamente più potente, ma molto più instabile. Lottando con questa entità dentro di lei, Jean libera i suoi poteri in modi che non può né comprendere né contenere. Con la spirale di violenza e Jean fuori controllo, cosa che la fa arrivare a ferire le persone che ama di più, la nostra protagonista inizierà a disintegrare il tessuto che tiene insieme gli X-Men. Ora, con questa famiglia che va in pezzi, dovranno trovare un modo per unirsi – non solo per salvare l’anima di Jean, ma per salvare il nostro pianeta dagli alieni che desiderano ottenere il suo potere e governare la galassia”.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix (Dark Phoenix) uscirà nelle sale statunitensi il 6 giugno 2019, con regia e sceneggiatura di Simon Kinberg, basata sulla saga fumettistica The Dark Phoenix di John Byrne, Dave Cockrum e Chris Claremont, mentre Huth Parker, Lauren Shuler Donner e lo stesso Kinberg figurano come produttori del film.

Nel cast James McAvoy (Professor Charles Xaier), Jennifer Lawrence (Raven / Mistica), Evan Peters (Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver), Tye Sheridan (Scott Summers / Ciclope), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey / Fenice), Nicholas Hoult (Hank McKoy / Bestia), Alexandra Shipp (Ororo Munroe / Tempesta), Kodi Smith-McPhee (Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler), Michael Fassbender (Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto) e Jessica Chastain (Smith).
