Lilly the Witch: The Dragon and the Magic Book (2009)

My rating: 3/10

Zugegeben, es ist schon eine Weile her, dass ich ein Hexe-Lilli-Buch gelesen habe, aber ich bin sicher, sie waren nicht so unfassbar generisch und doof wie dieser Film.

Admittedly it has been a while since I've read a Lilly the Witch book, but I am sure they weren't as generic and daft as this movie.

Plans to build an undersea pipeline from the eastern Mediterranean to Europe, not including Turkey, were halted after the United States abandoned its support for the project. Turkey imports most of its energy needs from abroad, but has announced the discovery of 540 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the Black Sea and hopes to extract it next year. Ten years of stress Although the position of Israeli president is largely ceremonial and any major steps toward rapprochement with Turkey would require the approval of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Herzog's visit represents a major step toward improving relations. The last visit of an Israeli president to Turkey was in 2007 and the last visit of an Israeli prime minister was the following year. Erdogan and Bennett spoke by phone in November, the first such call in years. Relations were strained in 2010 when Israeli special forces implemented a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, killing ten Turkish activists during an attack on the Turkish ship, the Mavi Marmara, which was carrying aid to the Strip. Over the years of hostility, the two sides maintained trade, which reached $6.7 billion in 2021, up from $5 billion in 2019 and 2020, according to official data. Turkey has hosted several senior officials of Hamas, which the United States and the European Union have designated a terrorist organization. Although Turkey softened its criticism of Israel before Herzog's visit, it ruled out abandoning its commitment to support the establishment of a Palestinian state. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told Radiosat24web during a visit to Turkey that relations between the movement and Ankara are well-established, and that media reports of Turkey's pressure on Hamas to curb its criticism of Israel were baseless and untrue. #radiosat24web https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2QOWUtMk4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Summary

Reading I: Discourse and Authorship in Design Practice

Kai Nordfors, 28.09.2021

We held our meeting via zoom on Sunday morning 26.09. Ossi was absent, but it didn’t affect our conversation that much. We started by discussing Benneth’s and Rock’s texts and what kind of feeling it left on us. We all agreed that Benneth’s work was a bit too heavy to digest. It was more of an historical run and outdated depictions, and maybe too much just irrelevant stuff in general regarding the topic of graphic design. Our conversation formed into a discussion about authorship and it’s meaning. Who is the author in the collaboration? Does the author need to own their copyright in order to be claimed as an author? Is human ego and authorship tied together? We spoke how it would be nice if working would work fluidly, without claiming any authorship to anyone. But is your ego on the way then? Aleksandra brought an example of a person who does music under alter ego character and in that way hides their personality and true identity, making it a bit hard to recognize an authorship to be theirs. I, on other hand, made an example about our collective that I’m part of, where we want to make sure that everyone gets their opportunity to be seen and we want to portray everyone equally on our social media and so on. Then we started to speak about oral culture and how historically inaccurate many of historical recordings are, because some white men were just like “Imma snippety snap out of this minority’s culture and make it mine”. Like Lönnrot, snippety snapped from Carelian and Sami cultures and “wrote” the Kalevala epos, making plenty of people think Kalevala’s roots are in predominant Finnish origins. And so did many historians and that way their work is totally inaccurate and unreliable. We also spoke about how big of a power an author has. I made an example of a bible: it is a collection of the stories and metaphors, transmitted orally and collected by different people (men). Everyone who has contributed to the collection has added something of their own in there and by that modified and original story. By censoring or exsaturating or what not. The source is gone and we cannot find it. The same applies to social media. Even though a lot of information we get from social media nowadays is way much more trustworthy and better than from general news. Still we lose the origins of the source and cannot be sure to trust the information. See also Aleksandr’s example about “Lo and Behold” by Werner Herzog. For the last part of the conversation we spoke about are designers artists or commercial workers? Do we get enough freedom to decide what we want to do in our work?

Kevin Cage of @spotlightsaga reviews... GLOW (S01E04) The Dusty Spur Airdate: June 23, 2017 Ratings: @netflix original Score: 8.75/10 **********SPOILERS BELOW********** 'The Dusty Spur' is only the 4th episode out of 10 in S1... That's really not a whole lot of screen time for such a big cast of 'larger than life' personalities. I saw Kenny Herzog of 'Vulture' (that's right I call out names. This is GLOW, bitch. Step into the ring!), get a bit restless in his review of the episode. Kenny is calling for a bit more action, but I believe GLOW is exactly where it needs to be, doing exactly what it needs to be doing... Really exploring origin stories and holding up a magnifying lens to its characters in a careful and steady manner. Any true fan of wrestling knows that it's all about the build and you simply don't have wrestling without well rounded characters... And you don't have well rounded characters unless you give them as many dimensions as possible, not worthwhile characters anyway. Truly, these characters in GLOW are so electric, they're literally sparking with depth. I want to see GLOW explore that depth, because once we get to the main events, that's the only way it's ever really going to take it to the next level and really put the show over with fans. I remember JBL recalling a match he had with the late, GREAT Eddie Guerrero on a podcast a few years back. I can't quote him verbatim but he broke down the psychology and and anticipation needed to truly make 5-Star matches. At the time JBL was no rookie, but the main event scene on such a grand platform is obviously one that can easily rattle one's nerves. Eddie had some wise words and tidbits of much needed inspiring motivation at the time. He literally told JBL that they would tease the crowd a bit, give them a slow back and forth, go into a headlock and hold it for an unnecessarily long time. Basically, bore them to death. Now, GLOW is anything but boring, but surely Creator Liz Flahive & 'The Dusty Spur' writer, Sascha Rothschild, took a page out of Eddie's book. The crowd will never genuinely connect in the truly engrossing and all-encompassing way that it needs to if we don't know who these people are. There is no need to rush... It's not about the finish line or immediate gratification, it's about building anticipation with the audience so that the show resonates with them long after S1 is over... Just like Eddie Guerrero's grandiose, emotionally charged matches. I doubt there is fan out there that can recall an important match of Eddie's that doesn't have a few points that they can still remember like it was yesterday, making the hairs on the back of their neck stand up as they tell it... Not just triggering nostalgia, but triggering greatness. That's what Netflix's GLOW team is creating here, something that will stick with us forever... Leave us pissed off we have to wait a whole year between seasons. That's how you do it! To be fair to Kenny, he wasn't bashing the show, quite the opposite really. Although he does go on to say that 'The show is sacrificing a bit of humor for authenticity'. See, now they just can't win... As if I recall Vulture saying the very opposite about OITNB. Both of these comments just struck me the wrong way. I know everyone is eager for these women to get in the ring, but we got a little ways to go. I doubt anyone will have to wait to much longer as the experiment has to begin sooner than later. None of these women who the creative team of GLOW are reimagining in their brilliant dramatization have a story like WWE's Sami Zayn. They didn't tour almost 15 years working their asses off in the Indies, then hit a performance training center and introductory WWE promotion like NXT for three years, and then finally and triumphantly make it to the main stage. No, no... They were pushed right into the fire, but that doesn't mean we still don't need to get these episodes where we truly get to know these women. Just like in OITNB, GLOW does a fantastic job of juggling many different character arcs, subplots, and focused character work, all while moving the core narrative at a respectable speed. We got a flash of the exact vision that Sam (Marc Maron) has for his big main event. Obviously, Debbie (Betty Gilpin) is already there... She may have her own drama, but she knows who she is and can naturally step into any part she's given anyway. It's Ruth who is still struggling with her 'would-be' personas. She comes up with a few ideas and pitches them to Sam but she's shot down. Sam even goes as far as to suggest that her gimmick's fate isn't even necessarily in her own hands... And can you blame him? Obviously there's something inside Ruth that's worth tapping into, but it feels like no one, especially Ruth, knows where to even start. Maybe Sheila the She Wolf (Gayle Rankin) can give Ruth a helping paw. Their pairing is so odd, but the fact that these two have ended up in the same room together makes for both great comedy and one of the most awkwardly dramatic scenes in the entire episode. Sheila has big issues with sharing living space with another human being... No, this isn't because Sheila identifies as a wolf, it's much deeper than that. Clearly, Sheila has worked hard to not only accurately express how she feels on the inside, but to keep any possible vulnerability that may open her up for ridicule swept under the rug. Ruth acknowledging that Sheila was sleeping with a wig on was probably the straw that broke the camels back, but as we've mentioned before... Ruth may not know who she is quite yet, but her passion and aspirations help define her while she embarks on her own existential quest. It's a bit like Ruth is a cockroach... It's going to take more than a couple of traps and putting roadkill in her bed to get rid of her. Ruth is just about awkward in everything she does, and that includes opening to Sheila and attempting to find common ground. I loved that Ruth was absolutely terrible at doing so, but just the fact that she was making an effort was met with respect from Sheila. These women are all making the most of their scenes and I hope that this becomes a huge launching pad for talented women like Rankin who have never been given this type of platform before. Another big shout out to our girl Tammé (Kia Stevens aka Awesome Kong/Kharma). Everything she's been handed in this series so far has been elevated to another level by her clear vision of her character and obvious professionalism. I think a lot of people are ready to easily dismiss wrestlers as jokes when it comes to the acting world but we continue to see many who have not just succeeded, but exploded into both 'Main Stream Blockbusters' & respected dives into nuanced character work. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson immediately comes to mind. Sure he can carry a big film, but look at the incredible depth he provides his Spencer character on HBO's 'Ballers'. I honestly believe that Kia Stevens has what it takes to not just create a splash in Hollywood, but to inspire real, honest to God respect from fans, critics, and her fellow peers in the industry alike. Tammé is having some issues with her 'Welfare Queen' persona. It's an obvious insulting stereotype when looked at through a certain lens. She's literally wrestling with the fact that she's worked hard in life to give her children a chance to be greater than any stereotype society associates with people of color, especially in the 80s. But with the help of Cherry's husband, Keith (Bashir Salahuddin), and his very simple remark that he finds Marc 'to be more sexist than racist' paired with watching an old shlock film of Marc's that has an oddly timed video dating cut right near the end of the film, Tammé appears to be coming to terms with the character. She's learning how to separate pointless stereotypes with the benefits of 'kitsch' and championing irony in the stereotype's context... And in pro-wrestling, both men's and women's wrestling, that's something that's extremely important. It would be disrespectful for me to end this review without noting that our man, former WWE Superstar Brodus Clay aka TNA hired gun Tyrus (George Murdoch) makes an appearance as Carmen's sympathetic brother who appears at their training camp with their legendary wrestling father, Goliath Jackson (Winston James Francis). They are there strictly to retrieve Carmen after they quickly realize that the giant pile of pillows and shoes in Carmen's old bed are not actually Carmen. Goliath and Carmen's two brothers are primarily used as a reminder to the audience that no one, not even the parent and member of a wrestling dynasty family, believes that these women will be taken seriously on any level. Carmen is one of those characters on GLOW that I tend to perk up for. Her lovable giant and adorable 'Machu Picchu' persona aren't exactly cutting edge material here (not quite yet, anyway), but actress Britney Young is proving that she can hang with best of them. Her scenes with her new roomie Rhonda aka Brittanica (real life singer-songwriter Kate Nash) give off a bit of 'explorative' vibe, possibly lesbian or it could be as simple as the differences in body image as Carmen is so quick to point out. Whatever direction they go with these two is ok with me, the pairing up of all the characters in the hotel is doing nothing but helping the spotlight shine on each and every character just a little bit more... And trust me, to all those pining for action, you'll appreciate all this character work they're doing now when these women finally step in the ring and start doing what they all came here to do... Wrestle!

Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman announce the name of their stealthy mobile video startup

On stage at Vanity Fair’s New Establishment Summit in Los Angeles, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman unveiled the name of their highly-anticipated mobile video company known until now as NewTV.

The name is Quibi, short for “quick bites,” per a note on its new website: “Something cool is coming from Hollywood and Silicon Valley — quick bites of captivating entertainment, created for mobile by the best talent, designed to fit perfectly into any moment of your day.”

The short-form video service, launching next year, will operate on a two-tiered subscription model similar to Hulu, per Deadline. Quibi is cooking up original content with Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, Southpaw director Antoine Fuqua and Spiderman director Sami Raimi, as well as Get Out producer Jason Blum and Van Toffler, the CEO of digital media production company Gunpowder & Sky.

The Hollywood Reporter says the del Toro project “is a modern zombie story,” the Fuqua project is “a modern version of Dog Day Afternoon” and the Blum project, titled Wolves and Villagers, could be compared to Fatal Attraction.

Jeffrey Katzenberg’s NewTV closes a billion-dollar round, says report

Katzenberg, the former chairman of Walt Disney Studios and founder of WndrCo, a consumer tech investment and holding company, has raised $1 billion for Quibi from Disney, 21st Century Fox, Entertainment One, NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Alibaba Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Madrone Capital and several others. He hired Meg Whitman as Quibi’s CEO in January.

Quibi, given Katzenberg and Whitman’s entertainment and business acumen, is expected to compete with the biggest players in the space, including Instagram, Netflix and Snap, which today announced Snap Originals. The new effort will have the ephemeral messaging service rolling out 12 new scripted shows on its app from Keeping Up With The Kardashians creator Bunim/Murray, Friday Night Lights writer Carter Harris and more.

Quibi is hiring aggressively, recently bringing on former Viacom executive Doug Herzog, former Instagram product manager Blake Barnes and former Hulu chief technology officer Rob Post, also per THR.

Quibi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Histórico da tensão EUA x Irã

Na quinta-feira, 2 de janeiro, os EUA atacaram por drones um local perto do aeroporto de Bagdá, no Iraque, deixando morto o general iraniano Qasem Soleimani, o segundo nome mais poderoso do Irã. O ato aumentou ainda mais a tensão entre os países, chegando a ficar na iminência de uma Terceira Guerra Mundial.

A ordem do ataque foi dada pelo presidente Donald Trump, que culpa Soleimani pela morte de americanos e afirma que o ataque ao general se deu para “conter o terror” no país.

A partir de então, uma série de novos fatos aconteceram, inclusive o contra-ataque do Irã na noite de 7 de janeiro. Confira neste link uma cronologia dos acontecimentos, e também todas as últimas notícias que se sucederem sobre a tensão entre os países.

ZOMG there's a new 'The Mandalorian' trailer (now with more Werner Herzog) There's probably no more hotly anticipated series from any new streaming service than "The Mandalorian" on Disney+ -- and now the good folks at Disney have given us a new trailer to hypothesize about. There's more action, more world-building, and much much more Werner Herzog (who could ask for anything more?). The Lucasfilm team has been relatively mum about the details of the new live-action Star Wars series that Jon Favreau created for Disney+. https://ift.tt/36ei1lz By Samy Morsy

The new effort will have the ephemeral messaging service rolling out 12 new scripted shows on its app from Keeping Up With The Kardashians creator Bunim/Murray, Friday Night Lights writer Carter Harris and more.

Quibi is hiring aggressively, recently bringing on former Viacom executive Doug Herzog, former Instagram product manager Blake Barnes and former Hulu chief technology officer Rob Post, also per THR.

Quibi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
