ZNAK SAGITE — više od fantastike — edicija, časopis, knjižara...

Ja mislim da bi bilo izvodljivo. Na reskin sam i mislio. Bilo bi suludo da sad neko zaista pravi celu igru. Ali, neki medium sized trud bi mogao da se uloži. Siguran sam da bi bilo ljudi koji bi to znali da cene.

Što se mene tiče, ja sam spreman da pomognem na nivou dramaturgije, pisanja dijaloga i naziva misija.

A siguran sam da ste i ti i Žika raspooženi...

Ha, da, ali ipak bi tu bio potreban neko ko ume da programira, makar rudimentarno, plus MNOGO vremena. Tako da... baci ovo na gomilu sjajnih projekata koje nikada nećemo realizovati.

Naravno, ali zar nema ljudi koji rudimentarno umeju da programiraju a koji su takođe živeli u Srbiji devedesetih i razumeju na koji način bi ova igra bila važna za pomoć mladima koje će skloniti sa ulice i pokazati im i naličje glamuroznog sveta kriminala?

Jel možemo da pitchujemo ovaj projekat nekoj NGO? U smislu umetničkog projekta koji se osvrće na devedesete?

Moriarty Looks Into The Future Of Superhero Films With A KICK-ASS Script Review!

Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here.

It's no secret that I've been fond of the work of Matthew Vaughn so far. I think LAYER CAKE is a bad-ass little crime film that perfected the formula Guy Ritchie and Vaughn created in LOCK, STOCK & TWO SMOKING BARRELS and SNATCH. STARDUST is a lovely, wacko fantasy that did a nice job of capturing Neil Gaiman's voice on film, something that has been long overdue.









And right now in London, as that photo of Nic Cage confirms, Vaughn has started production on the film that will absolutely confirm his status as a cult god, and which may well break him through to mainstream success in a very real and quantifiable way. If WANTED, a nihilistic gun-freak wet dream that was little more than a cobbled-together ripoff of THE MATRIX and FIGHT CLUB, could do the business it did this summer, then KICK-ASS has a chance at being something even bigger.









The movie is already generating fan sites, and the comic has created a genuine buzz even among people who don't normally read comics. A friend of mine ranted and raved to me recently about how great the comic is so far, and when I started asking him questions about it, he went pale. I guess the script covers more ground than the comic has so far, and I inadvertently spoiled some things for him. As Jane Goldman and Vaughn wrote the script adaptation, they had direct access to Millar, who told them where he was headed with the story, even as he reacted to some of their impulses, building them into the comic and refiguring some of what he had in mind. As I said, though, I haven't read the comic. I'm more of a trade paperback guy than a month-to-month guy with comics these days... just the way I prefer to read them, like a guy who only watches TV shows as box sets on DVD. So when I talk about the storyline or the characters below, realize I'm referring to the script, which may not match the book exactly.

I'm excited. I think this is exactly the sort of new take on the genre that audiences are going to enjoy because, finally, they've reached that tipping point. They've seen enough traditional takes on superhero fare over the last decade, and I think the pump is primed. They're ready for the conventions of the genre to be twisted, inverted, destroyed outright.









That's the start of the script. We see this kid suiting up. Same voice-over narration. And then... there's a painful reveal that we're not watching what we think we are, and we're off and running with Dave Lezewski. He's a normal kid. As he describes himself, acutely normal. And he's just trying to make it through high school with some dignity intact. It's written with a frankness that would give Sony a heart attack if this were SPIDER-MAN. Dave and his friends Todd and Marty are very real, very profane. Normal. Average. There's a girl. Of course. Katie Deauxma. And he isn't even on her radar. And he's got superheroes on the brain. He knows he isn't one, but that doesn't stop him from ordering a wet suit and a ski mask and dressing up in front of a mirror. Fantasizing about being a hero. Wanting it.

And then about fifteen pages in, Mindy Macready and her father Damon are introduced. And from the moment they arrive, the film is obviously not playing by any rules that any studio would allow. Mindy's 11 years old. And her daddy is training her. Making her dangerous. For a purpose. Their introductory scene is really scary and crazy, and it will shake an audience when they see it. They'll be awake after that if they weren't already. Their relationship in general is like THE PROFESSIONAL PART II, if Gary Oldman's character hadn't come back. If Leon and Matilda had kept going. Getting better at what they do. And when you see their origin story, told in the form of a homemade hand-drawn comic, it's wrenching. It's a twist on the traditional way heroes are created in comics, but awful and sad in a way no major publisher would dare.

And then Dave decides to do it himself.

Just start doing it. Going out at night. Learning how to run and jump and get from rooftop to rooftop. He's a kid. He's got no powers at all. But he's determined. And more than anything, he loses himself in the fun of it. The kick of doing something he dreams about. The reality of it is a chemical thrill for this kid.

And it's fun for about three pages. Until Dave ends up in the hospital. Seriously fucked up. Hit by a car and stabbed in the stomach fucked up.

And he ends up filled with metal. Pins and plates and a rod. His head. His arm. His leg. You'd think that would stop him, but Dave is wired to do this and nothing else. He's got no choice. So he goes out again, and this time, when he gets in a fight, he's able to give some punishment back. And this fight gets recorded and shows up on YouTube...





... and then Dave opens a MySpace page so people can find him, and he starts to catch on. People start to really root for this guy. And reach out to him. And believe in him.

Even Mindy, watching his viral videos, hearing about him, can't help but admire his actions. She may be a deadly little robot, but she reacts to Kick-Ass's raw bullheaded courage. Her father may not be a fan, but she is.

And the way their paths eventually cross, the point my friend tells me is the end of issue #3, comes around the halfway mark in the script. And it's a stunner...









... more proof that no studio in town would know how to actually make this film while leaving it intact.

Vaughn knows. And Vaughn's smart, working outside the system and owning a piece of the film. If you can raise the bank to do something like this, something radical, and you can own a piece of it in the meantime... that's real filmmaking power. I think being a producer first has made Vaughn very good at getting a project off the ground. Once it's airborne, he's able to focus on actually making the movie, and I'm dying to see how he interprets this sort of comic book "real" that John Romita Jr.'s using for the book.

Mark Millar seems to be intimately involved in the production at the moment, and that's interesting. It seems like a really close collaboration with someone whose work you're adapting on the part of Vaughn and Goldman. I like the boy-girl stuff in the movie, the way Dave gets close to Katie when she misinterprets something and starts to think of him as her "gay friend." It's funny, but it's not played as a THREE'S COMPANY-style joke. It's more about the agony of finally being close to the person you want, but unable to close the distance of that last few inches.

Another thing I really like in the script is the way the main bad guy, a drug lord named Frank, has a son the same age as Dave. Chris is a quiet kid who keeps to himself, and he wants nothing more than to be a part of his father's business. When his father becomes obsessed with finding Kickass and killing him, Chris finally sees a way to make his father notice him. He volunteers to hunt Kickass down himself, and to do so, he takes on the character of another vigilante named The Red Mist. This is the role that Chris Mintz-Passe is playing, and it seems to me that this is make or break for him. If it works, he'll be able to shake McLovin', and if it doesn't, then he's McLovin' for life. I think it's a hell of a role as written.

They all are, though. That's the thing. The reason this really works isn't because it's a clever deconstruction of a genre. It's because of the intensity of feeling that each of these characters has been brought to life with, the heightened emotion of the piece. It works because you feel the impact of every choice, every scene. And the kids in the film talk like real kids. It's savvy writing precisely because it's not more clever than reality in every single scene. People make bad choices. There are awkward moments that strike me as very close to how things would really play out. It's just grounded, solid character writing at every turn.

Nic Cage has been circling various superhero properties for years now, famously almost playing Superman at one point. He's such a comic fan he even named his kid Kal-El. For him to play Big Daddy seems karmically correct to me. Big Daddy was born of tragedy, but he took his identity from comics, just like Dave does. In fact, you could even view KICK-ASS as a wry commentary on comic fans in general. There's something really rich bubbling just under the surface of this one, even as outrageous set pieces and broad dramatic flourishes play out. The climax of the script is genuinely tense, and the violence throughout is so grim that there's little chance you'll mistake this for just another comic book movie. The stakes are high here, and if Kick-Ass or Big Daddy or any of the others are going to live to that last page, they're going to have to stop living in a fantasy and deal with some harsh, harsh realities.

And as a big fan of SHAOLIN SOCCER's lyrical ending images, I was moved deeply by the way Vaughn wraps it all up. He may paint a dark picture of human nature here, but he has faith that we are capable of more, of genuine good, and that's a hell of a way to leave an audience.

I'm hoping to head over to either London or Toronto while they're shooting this one so I can bring you some impressions from the set. I have a feeling when it finally hits next year, it will be seen as a fascinating bookend to WATCHMEN. If superhero movies finally grew up this year with THE DARK KNIGHT, then next year it looks like they're going to go completely insane.

And I can't wait.

Mad World

Neka vrsta crtanofilmovske verzije Running Man, sa dosta karikiranog Sin City šmeka u smislu art directiona. Platinum games je bivši Clover, takođe, pa ako ovo bude makar malo kao God Hand, moje srce će pevati.

Spiking of Uwe Boll, evo na Something Awful ispovest scenariste koji je pisao prvu (nerealizovanu) verziju Alone in the Dark. Suviše je to maliciozno napisano za moj ukus, ali su citati iz Bollowih mejlova suho zlato.

http://www.somethingawful.com/d/feature-articles/behind-scenes-uwe.php

QuoteA few years ago I came out of the video game industry to work on the first draft of Uwe Boll's newest film "Alone in the Dark." We had secured the rights for the license from Infogrames and pitched him a few story ideas on it. While he was still in post-production on the critically-acclaimed "House of the Dead" he asked us to write a script around the game "Alone in the Dark." At that point we hadn't seen any footage from any of his films he was worked on, but we heard"House of the Dead" - and I quote - "wasn't going well." I later discovered that was one of this century's biggest understatements.

Since we were going to be screenwriters for him, we decided to see if we could find any footage from his previous films online. We found the trailer for "Sanctimony" and immediately grew very nervous. Did he really just blatantly steal the entire plot and dialogue from the film "Se7en" and repackage it into some inept, half-assed, cliched pile of confusion? Was this guy for real? Who in their right mind would give him money to make anything except possibly trips from a pizza delivery store? And oh, let's not forget that he had big A-list stars in these films. Like Casper Van Diem. And Eric Roberts. And Clint "Car Wreck Face" Howard.

We had already written our story treatment and sent it off to him. He and his loyal team of Boll trolls seemed to like it and asked us to write a full script. It was only after this agreement when Uwe finally decided to send us a few of his wonderful films on VHS for us to watch. He was eager to impress us with his talented work, no doubt. But If you've ever mistakenly stumbled into one of them, I'm sure you will believe me when I say that we sat through some of the most incompetent and retarded films known to man. And I've seen "Feeders."

First we endured "Blackwoods," an incomprehensible straight-to-cable"psychological thriller" crapfest about evil rednecks who put this yuppie guy on trial in their parents' basement for a drunk driving murder. I don't want to spoil the ending, but his deceased girlfriend was actually Bruce Willis, whom he drunkenly killed with his car years ago, and her evil hillbilly parents in the woods were all part of the main character's guilty conscience. Or something. Really. That's really how it ends. Also he cast yet another actor from "Starship Troopers" in the lead. I think Uwe secretly lusts after Euro B-movie maker Paul Verhoven's lucrative career, which is really kind of sad if you think about it.

Soon Boll wanted to prove to the world he didn't need to solely exploit other films for his movies, as he could also exploit real-life people's deaths. He churned out a cheap Columbine school shooting movie called "Homeroom: Heart of America." I can't really ruin too much of the angsty plot for the film, particularly since we all know how Columbine ended, but I must say one thing about it: this was the first movie I've ever seen featuring gratuitous tit-shots during a scene where a retarded girl is raped. One critic sarcastically called it "the absolute best film Uwe Boll has ever made" and and another cracked "imagine the Columbine tragedy as translated into coloring book form." Unfortunately, this powerful movie failed find an American distributor, and I don't foresee this changing unless the retard rape market suddenly picks up.

Then came "House of the Dead," the film that would finally put to rest the eternal debate over whether Boll was as gifted a director as Scorcese, Kurosawa, or Schumacher. This is really the point where the terror of truly bad cinema sets in; we kept hoping the previous films were just terrible errors that were mistakenly titled and sent to us in some kind of cosmic accident. In his behind-the-scenes shoot on the promotional video, Uwe described this zombie opus as "an action-tour-de-force" and compared it to "a serious violence movie like 'Saving Private Ryan.'" You'll notice this film doesn't really have a "house" of the dead as much as an island and a old mine... of the dead, I guess. This is because apparently Uwe gets these two locations very cheap and therefore they must become central parts of every story he directs. We were cracking up and waiting for the punchline that never came throughout the entire movie, occasionally glancing around to see if we were being filmed by a Candid Camera revival. We heard the premise: "a rave... on an island... with zombies... TERRIBLE zombies," but we had no idea he was telling it with a straight face.

Somebody actually paid money to create this. It will come as no surprise that this person was Uwe Boll.
It was a mess. We knew we were in a terrible situation, and had written a script that was only going to confuse this poor guy. He kept asking us why the character in our script "Alone in the Dark," Edward Carnby, didn't have any special powers to battle monsters. We explained that the story revolved around suspense and a believable detective, based off the game. He replied by telling us he wanted to blatantly rip-off characters, as well as the tone of the films "Blade" and "The Crow." Here are some actual quotes from e-mails directly from the cinematic mastermind Uwe Boll himself in 2002:

Edward is not mysterious and does business as usual – which destroys his entire heroism – his entire reputation built up by the game, would be DESTROYED by this film. Edward has to be mysterious like in THE CROW and BLADE, he has to have special abilities and weapons and no normal BACKSTORY!!!

What isn't much use are grave things: the dialogue, Edward's Character and the story per se. IT IS GOOD THAT H IS NOT A SUPERNATURAL SUPERHERO - BUT HE CANNOT BE ALSO TOO NORMAL - HE IS A LONELY HERO.

You don't have big screenplay experience and after my bad experience on House Of Dead, I need a Top Script now. Your first script wasn't that. I want to be scared, intelligent, not boring, packed and surprising at the end.

He wanted us to add "big gun battles" and "car chases." You know, all the things that make horror movies scary, particularly movies that revolve around suspense. We kept arguing with him about how to actually tell a scary story, as it became apparent he had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. A big point of contention was the monsters; he wanted tons of big, slimy, dog-looking CG monsters all over the story, while we kept repeating it was far scarier to keep them in the dark - hey, what do you know, kinda like the title - and build suspense. We tried to use the (at the time) recent film "Signs" to explain this to him, but everything seemed to bounce right off the guy. Boll then went off on a rant that should rank as one of the most confusing arguments ever in history.

WE MUST KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ALL THIS . LOOK in SIGNS THE AUDIENCE KNOWS THAT THE ALIENS WANTS TO DESTROY - SO HE AUDIENCE IS AFRAID. LIKE WHT YOU SAY ABOUT OSAMA BIN LADEN: WE DONT KNOW A LOT - BUT WE ARE FRAID - BECAUSE OF 11.9. - SO WITHOUT ANY INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ALIENS WE ALL FEEL NOTHING - WE ARE ALL CONFUSED BUT LETS SAY YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE SHOWED AN ALIEN IN SIGN - IT WOULD BE A DESASTER - NOBODY WOULD TAKE IT SERIOUS!!

Yes, I know English is not his first language, but Jesus Christ, I'm not even sure this man has a first language. That's not even coherent in any intelligible way... and this man is DIRECTING FILMS IN ENGLISH. And whether or not you enjoyed the film "Signs," I didn't think anybody had ever argued that the awkward CG alien scene at the end was really a strong moment in filmmaking history. Finally, our short-lived deal with Boll fell apart during yet another debate about the ending. We felt a good horror movie should leave the audience with a creepy, scary uncertainty at the conclusion. Uwe felt people are more terrified by big excessive gun battles and even bigger monsters than the previously slightly-less-big monsters.


But Boll's rambling, borderline psychotic emails don't end here. No, he kept on going.

I AGREE BUT WE STILL NEED A BUILDING UP TENSE /SHOWDOWN OR WHATEVER. WHATEVER IT IS: EDWARD FNDS IN THE END SOMETHING WHAT BLOWS THE AUDIENCE AWAY, OR THE PROBLEM IS THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE MISSING, MORE CREATURES OR BIGGER CREATURES ARE COMING UP ... ! We WANNA MAKE A UNUSUAL AND GOOD MOVIE - BUT DONT FORGET THE CLASSICAL - MUST'S - OF STORYTELLING

By this point is was clear we weren't writing a true Uwe Boll movie, so the good doctor began to lecture us, the writers, on proper story telling procedure.

The story doesn't go from A to B, which is unavoidable for a genre-flick. Your story is an author's piece, a drama, where we spend time with people!!! With a video game adaptation what is more important than ever: hero needs to have a goal, that the [Uwe here uses the term "08/15 Zuschauer" which basically means the no-name, loser audience] understands and the hero needs to be interesting.

There was only one way to fix it and, fortunately, he had just the plan:

EITHER increasing numbers of people are getting kidnapped or killed by monsters, so that everything is threatened to go out of control and Edward has to stop the monsters – otherwise everything is lost in the end – OR Edward has to solve a specific case and stays on it – needs to go on an island (see ALONE IN THE DARK 4) or solve a murder. I was really angry, because I don't think, that you'd ignore so many things, that apply to story telling basics!

Oh no! Our script had made Uwe Boll angry! I have to say that being lectured by Dr. Uwe Boll on the proper way to tell a story is an experience I will truly cherish forever. In our defense, I apparently skipped the film writing class which explained how every realistic, suspenseful script required at least one major scene on an island, unaware this omission would be a violation of "story telling basics." At this point we realized Boll was a world class fuck up and was only going to ruin anything he touched. Despite being desperate first time screenwriters, we walked away from the project and refused to give him the rights to our script.

For those of you who actually give a shit, the original script took the "Alone In the Dark" premise and depicted it as if it was a actually based on a true story of a private investigator in the northeastern U.S. whose missing persons cases begin to uncover a disturbing paranormal secret. It was told through the eyes of a writer following Edward Carnby and his co-worker for a novel, and depicted them as real-life blue-collar folks who never expected to find hideous beings waiting for them in the dark. We tried to stick close to the H.P. Lovecraft style and the low-tech nature of the original game, always keeping the horror in the shadows so you never saw what was coming for them. Thankfully Dr.Boll was able to hire his loyal team of hacks to crank out something much better than our crappy story and add in all sorts of terrifying horror movie essentials like opening gateways to alternate dimensions, bimbo blonde archaeologists, sex scenes, mad scientists, slimy dog monsters, special army forces designed to battle slimy CG dog monsters, Tara Reid, "Matrix" slow-motion gun battles, and car chases. Oh yeah, and a ten-minute opening back story scroll read aloud to the illiterate audience, the only people able to successfully miss all the negative reviews. I mean hell, Boll knows that's where the real scares lie.

He even managed to cast "Blade" actor Stephen Dorff in the movie. I'm sure he was a huge fan of his performance in "Backbeat" or something. The funny part is, after we walked off and he got his usual team of hacks to churn out a huge steaming pile of shit, he came back months later and asked us if he could get the rights to use scenes from our screenplay... for free. Oh, Uwe.

But the future is bright for Dr. Boll. Even though "Alone in the Dark" opened to #14 and made only $2.5 million on its opening weekend, as he's got plenty of other important film projects waiting in the wings. He's already finished shooting "Bloodrayne" and is working his way onto "Hunter: The Reckoning" and "Far Cry" next year. Notice a theme here? I mean, besides the whole "making terrible movies that nobody likes" thing?

For my part I would just like to apologize to the video gamers of the world for indirectly helping this man unleash another cinematic atomic bomb on audiences. In my defense I can claim at the time I started, I didn't quite know who Uwe Boll really was... and in the end, we did manage to salvage our script from actually being filmed at the hands of the mad doctor. So I can take small comfort in a quote by one movie critic this weekend: "The other practitioners of cinematic drivel can rest a little easier now; they can walk in the daylight with their heads held high, a smile on their lips and a song in their heart. 'It's okay,' they'll tell themselves. 'I didn't make Alone in the Dark'."

I was in London working (and hanging out with some MW buds) over the last couple of days, but War Heroes officially went out to the studios yesterday after a few weeks of informal chats. I woke up to find a cluster of emails from Martin Spencer, my agent at CAA, and my attorney Harris Miller.

The good news? Pretty much all the big guys in town are going in for this and things should really start moving in the next couple of days. Tony and I had a dream director in mind for the project and, weirdly, he was the first email, suggesting he directs if his production company gets their hands on the material. But three genuine heroes are already in the mix for this so I have a feeling we're going to end up in good hands.

After weeks of informal chats (we wanted to wait until issue two was actually in print and they had either script or full plot for the remaining issues) we're really going to MOVE now. It's going to be an exciting few days, I think. As ever, I'll keep you posted. But this is my last NEW Hollywood thing until the Spring. I've pretty much finished all my current commitments and want to get deep into Ultimate Avengers before I start up anything else.

Portal: Prelude, as its name states it, is an unofficial prequel to the game Portal. Its story revolves around the pre-GlaDOS epoch, even before she was plugged in. At this time, test subjects were monitored by real Aperture Science employees, whose work was tedious, lengthy and repetitive. This is why they decided to build a great artificial intelligence that could both replace them in these difficult tasks, and also take responsibility for many other tasks within the complex and compete with Black Mesa's superiority.

All employees of the Aperture Science complex are now eagerly awaiting GlaDOS. Maybe even a little too eagerly, as the upcoming events will tell...

This game is totally free and set to be released somewhere around the end of the month. It offers a bit more gameplay hours than the original Portal, with 8 chapters, 19 test chambers, 48 challenges, 6 advanced maps, a brand new storyline and more than 400 lines of speech with english and french subtitles.

Remember kids, it's not just a mappack, it's a whole new story, and I hope that you'll appreciate the work done for you. The game is set to be released somewhere around the end of september, or the beginning of october.
Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more informations soon.

Ovo nema nikakve veze sa Valveom, koliko vidim? Hm...

Nema veze. Kontaktiralu su Valve i oni nisu pravili nikakvog problema oko licence i cak pruzili podrsku projektu.

Sad nadajmo se da ce ispasti dobro, pa da imamo sta da igramo dok ne izadje Portal 2, ako ga uopste i prave. A znajuci kojom brzinom radi Valve, nacekacemo se.

Da, to je stvarno džentlmenski od valvea. Naravno, polovina šarma Portala otpadala je na GlaDOS i njne genijane monologe pa ovaj prikvel verovatno neće imati isti šmek, ali opet, interesantno.

Meho OK, ovo su namontirali u fotoshopu, ali mi neko reche da ce novi GTA lik da bude realni Srbin iz Bosne  ?!    

Mislim znam da sam malo okasnio i sve to jer si ti vec poiso o tome ali ja te tekstove na engleskom slabo, jedino na maternjem BHS-u, a tamo nigde ne videh da si napiso da posle chamuge iz geta stize Srbin kao sledeci nivo zla koji je kao dosho iz Bosne gde je bio dobar sa Ratkom il tako neshto, daj neki link gde moz se pogleda demo ochiju ti, ii ne morash naci cu sam, bash da vim to ludilo  

Il me to opet lagali ovi moji dobro upuceni drugari sa Lekinog ?!  

EDIT : Niko Belic - hm,  kontam po imenu da je Niko Bosanski Srbin poreklom naravno ko i svi Srbi tamo sa "granice" Srbije i Crne Gore ?!

U igri se ne kaže eksplicitno odakle je ni šta je, ali među Srbima je konsenzus da je u pitanju Srbin, a i mediji su tako pisali. Problem je, naravno što čovek priča sa ruskim naglaskom a ortaci iz starog kraja imaju prilično nesrpska imena (Roman, Florijan), tako da je rockstar tu, kako se to kaže dropovao bol ili skruovao d puča...

Kuzmanovic u SKu je posvetio nemali deo opisa diskusiji o poreklu doticnog.  

Da, on mu je maltene locirao selo iz kog potiče. Al, kako već rekoh, to je više wishful thinking. Rockstar se nisu baš preterano potrudili da to deluje uverljivo.

Evo, da se čuje njegov naglasak:

Meho, je l' ovo nešto što vredi oslušnuti?

Pa... ja imam nekoliko njegovih albuma i meni je to solidno, mada ne i vrhunski u svojoj branši. Ja bih večeras to otišao da gledam da nemam već zakazan fizički rad.

Bolno je ocigledno da neki anglosakson radi genericki Slav accent. Hrmpf. Covek bi pomislio da bi se kompanija tog kalibra iscimala da nadje nejtiv Jugoslovena.

Da, i mene je isprva čudilo što umesto da daju 100,000 dolara pravom američkom glumcu ne uzmu nekog polugladnog srbskog/ bisanskog/ hrvackog itd. glumca koji bi isto odradio za tri ili četiri puta manje para. I to bolje. Ali zaključio sam da ih je žestoko boleo kuras da se potrude ILI da je u pitanju metadosetka i podsmeh na račun zapadne publike koja misli da su svi istočnoevropljani Rusi.

Mmmm, ovo bi moglo da bude sjajno:

QuoteAcclaimed Japanese developer Level-5 has unveiled Ushiro, a quirky new horror role-playing game for PSP.

Players are cast as Shinigami (the Grim Reaper) and attach themselves to people about to die, according to Japanese magazine Famitsu (read by NeoGAF).

Once attached the Shinigami will help the mortal fulfil their final wishes, and even fight monsters embodying that person's malice.

Level-5 has been responsible for titles such as Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King and Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Currently the team is working on White Knight Story for PS3.

Ushiro is due out across Japan next year.

QuoteJack Thompson disbarred
Posted Sep 25, 2008 12:24 pm PT By Polybren 556 comments The long and twisting saga of Jack Thompson's legal career appears to be drawing to a close.


Earlier this year, a Florida judge recommended the inflammatory lawyer be permanently disbarred for a prolonged pattern of misconduct and multiple violations of Florida Bar rules. The Florida Supreme Court today embraced that recommendation, permanently disbarring on Thompson.

"Based on the record before it, the Court agrees that respondent is not amenable to rehabilitation," the Justices' decision read. "Further, the Court approves the referee's recommendation that permanent disbarment is the appropriate sanction."

Thompson will be given 30 days during which he must close out his practice and make arrangements for existing clients. He may file a motion to have his case reheard, but due to a sanction already placed on Thompson, he needs another member of the Florida Bar in good standing to sign off on the motion before the court will consider it.

In a prepared statement sent to media outlets, Thompson claimed the disbarment was an act of retaliation for a number of actions, the most recent of which being a civil lawsuit Friday naming more than 70 defendants (and one late defendant's estate) including the Florida Bar and all seven of the state's Supreme Court Justices for alleged violations of his civil rights.

"The timing of this disbarment transparently reveals its motivation," Thompson wrote, adding, "This rush to disbarment is in retribution for the filing of that federal suit. With enemies this foolish, Thompson needs only the loyal friends he has."

Over the course of Thompson's legal career, he has sought and gained notoriety for taking on abrasive elements of pop culture. He led the charge against 2 Live Crew over lyrical content in that group's 1989 album As Nasty as They Wanna Be (and it's hit single, "Me So Horny"). Radio shock-jock Howard Stern was another target of Thompson's ire before he turned his eye to the gaming industry and id Software's Doom in 1996, which he blasted as a "murder simulator" and eventually blamed for the 1999 Columbine High School Massacre.

However, Thompson's most notable target has been the Grand Theft Auto series from Take-Two Interactive, which he accused of "mentally molesting minors for money." After three police officers were killed by a professed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City player in Alabama, Thompson represented their families in a civil lawsuit to hold Take-Two responsible.

Thompson has made eye-opening headlines frequently over the last three years, notably when he sicced the police after the creators of webcomic Penny Arcade for harassment after they made a charitable donation in his name. In addition, he has been publicly disavowed by the president of the National Institute on Media and the Family, and helped draft game-related legislation in the wake of the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" scandal.

Perhaps more than any of that, his most notable accomplishment may have come in a lawsuit to prevent the release of Take-Two Interactive's Bully in Florida under public nuisance laws. While a judge eventually approved Bully's release, he did so only after taking the unprecedented step of requiring Take-Two to produce the T-for-Teen-rated game for his review before it could hit store shelves. His behavior during the proceedings helped begin the course of events which led to his disbarment.

Hoće li Thompson sad potpuno da se posveti serijalu German Goo Girls?

To je John Tompson, ali sviđa mi se kako razmišljaš.

Živa pička posle Živog kurca

Let 3 ove jeseni planiraju objavljivanje prvog koncertnog DVD-ja Živa pička na kome je zabeležen njihov nastup 16. jula prošle godine u klubu Hartera u rodnoj Rijeci.

Bend namerava da napravi proizvod koji će biti raskošan, luksuzan i primamljiv, tako da ga svako poželi imati.

,,Bio je to naš veliki koncert, na kome smo na neki način obilježili 20 godina rada. Koncert je bio zbilja svima u bendu jedan od najdražih u cijeloj karijeri. Bio je nabijen emocijom, a produkcijski na najvišem nivou za ove naše prostore", kaže pevač Zoran Prodanović Prlja, a prenosi njihov srpski promoter Long Play.

Za nastup u prostoru bivše fabrike papira Hartera, Let 3 su pozvali mnoštvo gostiju, od zborova, plesača, pratećih muzičara poput duvača i perkusionista, do brejk densera i živih zmija.

"Imali smo konja sa hvataljkama, vješala i 3D projekcije, dakle čudesa potpuna. Poslije sam slušao komentare poput: 'Gledao sam svašta ali na ovakvom koncertu još nisam bio'. Sve će se to lijepo vidjeti na DVD-ju. Bez lažne skromnosti, to je bio zbilja top koncert", kaže Prlja.

Basista Damir Martinović Mrle ističe da se posle live albuma Živi kurac (1996) naziv DVD-ja Živa pička nametnuo sam po sebi.

DVD je radio poznati hrvatski režiser Radislav Jovanov Gonzo, koji je između pesama odsviranih na koncertu ubacivao brojne dokumentarne snimke dogodovština članova Let 3 sa nastupa, iza scene ili na putovanjima u kombiju.

"Ja, recimo, prdnem i onda se svi dave u kombiju", priseća se Mrle.

Gledao sam skrinšotove za WKS, ali nisam preterano oduševljen. Square-ov stil, samo što je HD. Moguće da bolje izgleda u pokretu.
Takođe su najavili igru za DS koju će raditi zajedno sa Ghiblijem, i uz koju će se dobijati knjiga magije koja će se koristiti u samoj igri.

Koštunica zaintrigiran Residentsima

Vojislav Koštunica, čija je Demokatska stranka Srbije svojevremeno protestovala zbog koncerta Residentsa u Beogradu, izjavio je da ga je "zaintrigirao njihov ponovni dolazak".

Bivši premijer je Beti rekao da mu je promakao podatak da će The Residents svirati u Beogradu 18. novembra (u organizaciji našeg sajta i NR Eventsa), pet godina posle koncerta koji su održali na Kolarcu, ali da je ,,zaintrigiran" i da se radi o ,,zanimljivoj grupi koja ima zanimljive postupke i poruke".

Podsetimo, DSS se pre nastupa Residentsa u Beogradu 27. septembra 2003. usprotivila ovom koncertu jer je u pitanju grupa ,,koja je postala poznata po albumu Rokenrol Trećeg Rajha, verziji rokenrola kakav bi bio popularan u vreme nacizma, nastupa u crnom, pod maskom, sa iščupanim ljudskim srcem na dlanu".

Navodeći da grupa Rezidents dolazi u Beograd sa novim projektom Demoni plešu sami, DSS je tada objavio kako začuđuje da je ova "bajkovita" demonska svetkovina upriličena baš na veliki pravoslavni praznik Krstovdan, "i to na Kolarčevom narodnom univerzitetu, koji je svojim programom oduvek prednjačio u razvoju kulture i duhovnosti srpskog naroda".

Lider DSS i bivši premijer danas je rekao i da su mu Residentsi simpatični kao "antiglobalistička pojava".

Inače, pre neko veče sam bio u nekom društvu u kome je bio i Miloš Aligrudić, i on se neviđeno loži na Residentse. Žao mu je što nije išao na Dinosaur.

au sunce ti jbm, pa shta bi tek rekli za neke zajebatije bendove , a tad osudjivali pa sad kad su sisli savlasti da se malo kao privuku urbanom beogradu poshto im ta narodnjachka pricha nije proshla onda kao aj nije vise bogohulno sad je kul...a Aligrudic, jbte osecam da mu se pokojni cale prevrce u grobu zbog te sulude akcije sa DSS-om, al kolko vidim izvuko se iz toga, shta kaze jel batalio tu politiku ?
Koji ce mu to u zivotu, meni da je cale glumio u "Sjecash li se" i to onakvu ulogu pa ja ne bi dalje od klade pao, a on u politiku, bedak zaista, iskreno bedak...znachi bash bruka ona, nadam se da se ishchupo otog zla...
