Hm. Ja bih rekao da šarati znači vući šaru, liniju. A kad bi pravili glagol od pridjeva šaren to bi valjda bilo šareniti.

Šara je linija? Ja sam mislio da je šara nekakav estetski uobličen skup linija. No, Father Jape je student filološkog fakulteta pa se od njega i očekuje odgovor!!!

A drugo, "šareniti" ne postoji, postoji povratni glagol "šareniti se" i koji znači upravo "biti šaren", dakle suprotno od "biti crn".

Hajde, sharaj malo tim rukama po grudima, sta si se udrvenio!!

Rečnik srpskog jezika Matice Srpske iz 2007. godine kaže:

šarati: 1. povlačiti neodređene crte, linije po nečemu; crtati ili pisati nešto bez smisla, švrljati , škrabati: ~ po papiru, ~ po zidovima...
Ima još jedno 5 značenja, al mrzi me da prepisujem.

šareniti: činiti šarenim, bojiti raznim bojama.

Ne znaju oni srpski.

Nego, Lilit, dobro nam došla nazad, dugo te nije bilo!

Jipi! Znači bio sam u pravu. Nisam džaba u gimnaziji imao trojku iz srpskog.

Nisi džaba? Morao si za trojku da plaćaš?!   

Ja i moje rečenične konstrukcije. 

Zato i nisam imao više od trojke.

nisi imao više od trojke zato što si plaćao za trojke? pa to je nekako logično... sirotinjo

Можда нам је потребан суперхерој
... каже студент математике Владислав Радак, аутор недавно објављеног трилера ,,Ноћ мртвих снова"

Владислав Радак (Фото Ж. Јовановић) Добра књига је она која ме забавља. Не тражим ни дубоку сагу о смислу живота, нити да откријем све о женама и међуљудским односима. Може да буде и ,,спора", да се не чита ,,у једном даху", али желим да у мени покрене неку хемијску реакцију – каже млади Владислав Радак чија је књига ,,Ноћ мртвих снова" недавно објављена у издању ,,Добре књиге" из Београда. Трилер, са елементима научне фантастике и хорора, други је по реду Радаков роман који ће бити представљен вечерас у 19 часова у уметничком павиљону ,,Цвијета Зузорић" на Калемегдану.

Овај студент треће године Природно-математичког факултета дебитовао је већ са 15. година написавши причу ,,Плавa вежбанка" о школским данима и сазревању своје генерације. У међувремену је снимио два кратка филма, завршио нижу музичку школу, а о својим интересовањима, каже:

– Моја главна карактеристика није свестраност већ студиозност.

Када ми се свиди нека књига, ишчитавам је све док не схватим како је писцу то пошло за руком. Уосталом, и кад учим матиш, учим 10 до 12 сати. И, када пишем књигу, пишем по цео дан и тада се најлуђе проводим у животу.

Иако је одрастао на идеалним јунацима (Бетмену, Супермену, грофу Монте Кристу), наш саговорник временом је схватио да је много лепше, хуманије и интелигентније да његови књижевни ликови буду просечни људи поред којих пролазимо сваки дан али које ситуација натера на неко херојство или лудост, монструозност или кукавичлук. Понекад се, каже, ослања на сопствене жеље и тада помисли да нам, можда, треба неки суперхерој, срећан завршетак, бег који није реалан... али, који ће за тренутак да нам испуни снове.

– Као мали сам доста читао и, пре свега, осећам потребу да се одужим том делу свог живота. Помислио сам да бих, можда, могао да урадим нешто другачије или боље, и да ми више није довољно да будем само читалац. Као када дете спортиста гледа спортисте и жели нешто више, па помисли ,,сам морам да шутнем ту лопту, да видим колико ће да одскочи" – каже Радак.

Размишљање математичара, како додаје, својом здравом логиком и једноставношћу у неку руку доприноси процесу писања приче.

– Можда књижевност делује комплексније али сматрам са су најбоља решења увек она најједноставнија. То је оно што каже математика и то је оно што сигурно годи и књижевности. Тиме не покушавам да поједноставим процес писања, јер и у писању постоји превазилажење проблема, и мислим да је, уколико их превазиђемо на најједноставнији и најелегантнији начин, то сјајно. Такозвано намештање публици не мора да смишља математички ум, довољна је чиста проницљивост – сматра Владислав Радак.

У писце уз чије је књиге одрастао и формирао убрајају се: Џек Лондон, Роберт Ладлам, Нелсон де Мил, Стивен Кинг, Тери Прачет ... Сада га, каже, више привлаче романи нобеловца Џона М. Куција.

– Пре свега ме је заинтересовала трагичност Куцијевог живота која се осликава и у његовој књижевности. Куци је изгубио сина јединца и из редова његове литературе осећа се то дубоко разочарање животом. Он се поиграва са судбинама својих ликова, али и емоцијама нас читалаца, зато што вероватно сматра да има право на то; зато што се, уосталом, живот сурово поиграо са њим. Куцијева проза, можда, делује као фикција али већ иза другог ћошка, ако куцнем на нека врата, сигурно ћу пронаћи Куцијеву животну причу. Интересантно је да је и он био математичар, и да је дуго радио као програмер – подсећа Радак.

Премда себе види даље у свету математике, али и литературе, не жели, како каже, да његова књига ,,Ноћ мртвих снова" буде ни приближно савршена. Стога је није ни ,,поправљао" уредничким сугестијама...

– Да ми је неко помогао при писању чуо бих критике само од њега, а овако ћу добити више искренијих информација. Уобличавање књиге исто је као када старији глумци изађу ,,испеглани" у новинама. Старијим глумцима треба да се виде боре у новинама, као што и писци, и клинци писци треба да добијају примедбе на своје књиге. У овим годинама више би ми значило да добијам критике а не похвале. Не би било добро да се уљуљкам – каже Владислав Радак.

A tie-in with a comedy about couples working out their relationships on a tropical island might not seem like the obvious way to promote a music videogame, but Activision found Universal Pictures' "Couples Retreat" the perfect opportunity to strum up some buzz for "Guitar Hero 5."

Universal's partnerships and licensing group had signed up Anheuser Busch's Bud Light, Bloomingdale's, Diageo's Captain Morgan's Rum, the Tahiti Tourism Board and Crunch Gym to pony up millions in marketing support for the comedy.

But when Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau wrote "Guitar Hero 5" into the script, making Vaughn a salesman for the game in the film, Activision wound up signing on as well.

"When we heard that Vince's character is a salesperson of the videogame we laughed hysterically," said Will Kassoy, senior VP of publishing for "Guitar Hero" at Activision. "We thought it was a perfect way to showcase the new game."

Vaughn and Favreau, who are fans of the game, wrote a major scene where a character grabs the game's guitar-shaped controller to compete against a resort staffer in order to move the plot forward.

Activision launched "Guitar Hero 5" last month, and is looking to attract a broader range of gamers to the franchise with its latest installment that boasts new features to make it easier to play.

"Guitar Hero" is facing stiff competition from rival MTV Games and its successful "Rock Band" franchise, which recently released a Beatles edition.

Tie-ins with movies are considered not only a way to get "Guitar Hero" noticed by non-gamers but also to help cement its place in pop culture, said Kassoy, who added that the franchise has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. "Guitar Hero" is "social and accessible and extends beyond the typical videogame category and brings new audiences in."

In the past, Activision has enlisted filmmakers and celebrities to push the game, with Brett Ratner helming a series of commercials featuring Heidi Klum, "American Idol's" David Cook and David Archuleta, sports stars Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps strumming the faux guitar in their underwear, mimicking a scene from "Risky Business." A new spot features Hugh Hefner and Playboy playmates.

To promote the movie, Activision created radio spots that ran for four weeks. It gave away the game and an Xbox 360 in 19 key markets across the country, plus sent winners of a sweepstakes to Jamaica. It also sent messages to the 3 million members of the game's social network via GuitarHero.com, Facebook and videogame consoles. Another promo involved releasing a three-song download pack of Billy Squier tunes to tie in with its scene in the movie.

In return, Universal promoted the new "Guitar Hero" game across its various marketing materials and gave Activision the clip of its integration in the film to play online or send to members of its social network.

When making promotional deals around films, brands are gambling on how they think a film will perform at the box office.

"Couples Retreat" turned out to be a good bet, earning $34 million during its first weekend.

Favreau is readying "Iron Man 2" for next summer. As was the case with the first pic, the sequel will once again boast its own lineup of marketers who want to tie in with the superhero.

If Iron Man wound up picking up a "Guitar Hero" controller, "we wouldn't mind," Kassoy said.

A Phranakorn Film release of a Bangkok Film Studio presentation of a Forfilms production. (International sales: Golden Network Asia, Hong Kong.) Produced by Adirek Wattaleela. Executive producer, Sangar Chatchairungruang. Directed by Thanakorn Pongsuwan. Screenplay, Pongsuwan, Adirek Wattaleela, Kiat Sansanandana, Taweewat Wantha.

With: Preeti Barameeanant, 9 Million Sam, Khanutra Chuchuaysuwan, Phutarit Prombundran, Arucha Tosawat, Anuwat Saejao, Kumpanat Oungsoongnern, Kanut Samerjai, Karen Superdance.

Basketball becomes an underground bloodsport in "Fireball," a lively Thai actioner in which Bangkok's toughest street gangs smash each other senseless in the quest for championship honors. A rise in class for helmer Thanakorn Pongsuwan following his messy 2007 horror-thriller "Opopatika," the pic's regulation plot adequately holds together an impressive display of martial-arts mayhem. A modest B.O. performer on early 2009 domestic release, "Fireball" will add heat to fest sidebars and has promising international ancillary prospects.

Just released from jail, Tai (Preeti Barameeanant, vocalist with Thai rock band Clash) discovers twin brother Tan (also Barameeanant) near death after a severe mauling by fireball opponent Ton (Arucha Tosawat). To pay for his bro's operation, Tai takes his spot on a team captained by diminutive dynamo Zing (9 Million Sam). Exciting, very violent road to the inevitable smackdown pauses only briefly for standard match-fixing by sleazy organizers, and furtive romantic footsy between Tai and Tan's teary g.f. (Khanutra Chuchuaysuwan). Eye-catching combo of slam dunks and Muay Thai maneuvers is slickly shot and set to crunching rock and ethereal vocal harmonies. Pongsuwan has announced plans for a Vietnam War-set prequel.

A, evo kakvi svi užasi i tiranije čekaju slobodoljubivog čoveka u navodno liberalnoj Americi:

Man Arrested For Being Naked In Own Kitchen

QuoteAn American man who brewed coffee naked in his own kitchen is facing indecent exposure charges and could be jailed.

Eric Williamson, 29, from Virginia, insists he has done nothing wrong and any exposure of his private parts was purely accidental.

Williamson was making coffee in the buff at 5.30am when a woman and her seven-year-old son walked past his kitchen window in Springfield.

The woman then called the police.

Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings said the woman claimed Williamson then moved and exposed himself again through a large front window.

In his defence, Williamson said: "I'm by myself. So I come down here - the roommates are gone, and it's my house.

"I never had a conversation with anyone, never saw anyone. Didn't cross my mind, came and got coffee. I mean if I stood and seemed comfortable in my kitchen possibly it's natural. It's my kitchen."

Williamson, who is the father of a five-year-old girl, continued: "I am a loving dad. Any of my friends... and anyone knows that.

"And there is not a chance on this planet that I would ever, ever do anything like that to a kid."

Trial lawyer Dickson Young, who is not connected with the case, explained that "in order for it to be a crime, they have to prove - the state and police - have to prove that he knew those people were there when he was standing there.

"The statute requires an intentional display of your private parts. So if you are occasionally displaying them, accidentally displaying them, inadvertently displaying them it's not a crime."

Ms Jennings said the police would not pursue a case based on inadvertent exposure. The charge is a misdemeanour punishable by up to a year in jail.

Pa vi sad vidite. U Americi vam ustav garantuje pravo da nosite oružje ali ne i da se šetate goli po svojoj kući.

So if you are occasionally displaying them, accidentally displaying them, inadvertently displaying them it's not a crime.

meho, bezbedan si: slučajno i nesvesno može da ti ispadne iz gaća bez posledica!

Ali, ja ne nosim gaće kad sam u kući!!!

A Vertigo release of a Channel 4, Screen West Midlands presentation of a Blast! Films production. (International sales: Channel 4, London.) Produced by Penny Woolcock, Amy Flanagan, Claire Bosworth. Executive producers, Jan Younghusband, Lee Thomas, Peter Dale, Grant McKee, Allan Niblo. Co-producer, Andrew Litvin. Directed, written by Penny Woolcock.

With: Dylan Duffus, Orhan Whyte, Yohance Watson, Tobias Duncan, Tosh Dennis, Joel Eccleston, Micah McQueen, Malik, Justice, Lady L, Natasha Holness, Fiasqo, Monica Ffrench, Carol Chambers, Rianna Aldred, Bishop Derek Webley, Aaron Hamilton.

Audacious and admirable, if commercially problematic, "1 Day" reps Blighty's first hip-hop musical. Writer-helmer Penny Woolcock ("Mischief Night") collaborates with an all-nonpro cast to create a rambunctious but gritty portrait of contempo street life in Birmingham, through the tale of a drug dealer struggling to repay a large debt. Although the characters perform songs straight to the camera, there's nothing old-school about the cutting-edge grime music, while the slang dialogue is so authentic, many viewers will struggle mightily to understand what's going on. One day, material like this may reap the appreciation it deserves, but that time is not now.

First met cooking up crack in his kitchen while he rocks his baby in a car seat, Flash (charismatic Dylan Duffus, credited as the pic's script consultant) is a midlevel drug dealer who supplies younger street pushers. The father of five children by three different women (Justice, Lady L, and Natasha Holness), Flash is a smooth player and a big man in the gang who hails from the Old Street area of Birmingham suburb Handsworth.

Flash's associate Angel (Yohance Watson) is released early from prison and demands Flash pick him up from the big house with the £500,000 (about $830,000) Flash has been holding for him since Angel went inside. But Flash has spent a good chunk of it, and stalls for time so he can raise the money. His only real hope is to borrow from his deeply duplicitous friend, Evil (Tobias Duncan), but Evil rips him off instead, forcing Flash to run for his life with only street urchin Pest (little gem Orhan Whyte) as backup.

Although the final reel delivers an anti-gun message (particularly timely in the U.K., where firearms-related murders are on the rise), Woolcock's script knows that crime in the inner city pays all too well compared with, say, flipping burgers. Still, the young drug lords aren't let off too lightly, especially by the visible but less central femme characters who upbraid the menfolk for their lothario ways.

"1 Day" feels more authentic than the similarly themed "Kidulthood" and "Adulthood" series, surprise local hits with which this pic will be inevitably compared. However, that veracity just might be "1 Day's" downfall, making for a hard sell not just to mainstream auds, but also to the Afro-Caribbean community, which may feel the pic, like Lee Daniels' "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," offers too negative a depiction of its social problems.

Made on a budget of $1.1. million, the digitally shot pic looks just pro enough to fill a bigscreen but still pleasingly rough-edged, much like its thesping. Graham Smith's lensing manages to have an on-the-fly spontaneity yet look artfully lit, especially in the night scenes. Banging, compellingly dirty soundtrack by Urban Monk could pull in a cult aud on its own, especially if tracks and score samples get known on the club and pirate-radio scene.

Lil Wayne faces jail time
Rapper pleads guilty to attempted weapons possession
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lil Wayne, who owned last year's best-selling album and is currently No. 1 on the pop charts, pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence.

The performer, arguably rap's most popular artist and one of pop's biggest acts, previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3 1/2 years in jail upon conviction. He remains free on bail while awaiting his February sentencing.

The somber-looking rapper did not speak as he left the courthouse with members of his entourage, who piled into four SUVs.

Police said a gun was found on his tour bus in Manhattan in 2007.

The rapper, born Dwayne Carter, won last year's best rap solo performance Grammy for "A Milli." His albums include "Tha Carter," "Tha Carter II" and "Tha Carter III."

His trial had been due to start Jan. 20. The judge had been holding a hearing on a debated DNA profiling technique used to tie the rapper to the gun.

Lil Wayne, 27, also is scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case, which arose from a January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.

In New York, he politely answered the judge's standard questions with "yes, Sir" and "no, Sir" as he entered his plea to second-degree attempted weapon possession, a felony.

He acknowledged he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic loaded gun on bus.

When the judge warned that he would not be able to withdraw the plea as some people try to do, the rapper said, "I'm not one of those people."

Prosecutors said small amounts of DNA found on the loaded weapon connected it to the platinum-selling artist. Defense lawyer Stacey Richman said the gun wasn't Lil Wayne's, and the testing technique was too problematic to prove otherwise.

Police pulled over Lil Wayne's tour bus in Columbus Circle on July 22, 2007. They said they had seen and smelled marijuana smoke wafting out the door before the bus left a concert venue minutes earlier.

Police said that as an officer approached, the rapper tossed away a Louis Vuitton bag containing a gun.

The defense disputed officers' basis for searching the bus and noted that more than a dozen other people were aboard.

Over the past two years Lil Wayne has not only emerged as the best-selling figure in rap but in all music. His "Tha Carter III" topped all album sales in 2008 with 2.8 million copies sold off of hits like the No. 1 smash like "Lollipop."

A rapper since he was a teen, Lil Wayne's popularity exploded thanks to his voluminous output on the mixtape circuit and collaborations with other artists. He currently has the No. 1 song in the country with Jay Sean, "Down."

Lil Wayne is the latest in a long line of rappers to face incarceration after topping the charts. Tupac Shakur, Lil Kim, Beanie Sigel, Shyne, Mystikal, C-Murder are just a few of the names who have done a few months to several years behind bars for crimes committed after they became famous.

Earlier this year, T.I., who is also one of rap's top sellers, reported to prison in May for his conviction on weapons charges. He's expected to serve a year and a day.

While some rappers have not regained their chart status after prison or jail, Shakur became even more popular, and T.I. remains popular on the radio.

Eto, prvo T.I., a sada i Wizzy, obojica padoše zbog attempted illegal weapon possessiona. I to usred Amerike gde je najnormalnije da nosiš oružje!! Apsurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rappaz rn danja

proganja nas država al to nas čini još jačima

rapperz will never die, just multiply

:A

Ako to znachi da cemo biti poshtedjeni Lil' Waynove muzike - u potpunosti podrzhavam.

Preoštro je to. Nisam neki preteran fan Vizija, ali kada su me naterali da pažljivo preslušam TCIII nisam mogao a da mu ne dam pozitivan prikaz.

Ja sam se poveden hajpom ponadao da ce on vratiti dobri stari hip-hop sa modernim apdejtom, a onda preslushao - i meni je to na nivou onih tresh filler repera devedesetih koje niko nije slushao, osim na basketashkim kompilacijama.

Ali, ali.... A millie je baš lepa pesma!!!

weezy je unapredio taj dobri stari rap na temeljnom nivou poetskog stava što je i meho potcrtao. naime, weezy je battle/represent poetski stav, koji je glavni element tvrdog jezgra rapa, identiteta rapa, odveo u onom smeru u kom je jedino mogao da ga odvede a to je ka samoukidanju tog "battle" momenta. i to je ono što i meho naglašava kad kaže da on na diss ili bilo šta slično tome odgovara sa "ja ne slušam tvoje ploče", dakle potpuno ukida vezu sa Drugim da bi bio apsolutan, on manje-više rapuje sebi o sebi.

tako da je on zaista unapredio rap. 

Mozhda na nivou koncepta, ali muzichki - jok.

It sounds like a tired joke: Music used as a torture tactic to get terrorism suspects to talk.

But that tactic is exactly what the recently formed National Campaign to Close Guantanamo is citing to draw attention to its cause and force the government to release playlists.

A group of musicians, including Trent Reznor, Jackson Browne, the Roots, R.E.M., Pearl Jam and Billy Bragg are among those who are demanding the release of records to show what music was played as part of interrogation tactics at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere.

The org has enlisted the National Security Archive to file Freedom of Information Act requests seeking documents on the specific role that music has been used in interrogations of detainees, and how that music was chosen.

Previously released documents from a 2005 Army investigation show that the works of Metallica, Britney Spears and some rap artists were used as a "futility technique" with uncooperative detainees.

The new request seeks documents that reference music played, as the groups behind the request suspect that interrogators used music from more than two dozen acts, ranging from Bruce Springsteen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and songs such as the "Barney" theme and the Meow Mix cat food jingle.

Thomas Blanton, the executive director of the archives, charged that at Guantanamo, "the U.S. government turned a jukebox into an instrument of torture."

The campaign's director, former Rep. Tom Andrews (D-Maine), charges that music was played at "eardrum-splitting levels for hours and hours and in some cases for days," and when "combined with other uses of torture broke the detainees down." He bases it on published government reports and interviews with former detainees.

A CIA spokesman told the Associated Press that music was used for security and "not for punitive purposes -- and at levels far below a live rock band."

The org notes that the United Nations has banned the use of music in torture techniques under the U.N. Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, although it has not been enforced.

Others backing the sunshine effort include Bonnie Raitt, Steve Earle, T-Bone Burnett and David Byrne.

Their action, however, is likely to trigger further debate as to whether the use of such music constitutes torture or an "enhanced interrogation technique." Some former members of the Bush administration, chief among them former Vice President Dick Cheney, have argued that interrogation methods used were not torture and that the closure of Guantanamo will put national security at risk.

The Army investigation recommended that specific guidelines be developed on the length of time that a detainee be subjected to "futility music," although it said the music "was never loud enough to cause any physical injury."

Andrews hopes that the presence of musicians will help bring the issue in front of a whole new audience, but, meanwhile, recognizes ironies involved in the use of such music. "It is almost out of Ripley's Believe It or Not," he says.

Meni je to vazda bilo odvratno, pogotovo što se Metalika ložila kako je to do jaja što koriste njihovu muziku.

Jerry Bruckheimer is plotting a civil war at Disney, tapping J. Michael Straczynski to adapt 2K Games' "Shattered Union."

In the game, states secede from the U.S. and form their own governments that wage a civil war against each other after Washington, D.C., is wiped out in a nuclear blast and chaos ravages the nation. Players control one of the warring group of states -- the California Commonwealth, Republic of Texas and New England Alliance are three of the six -- or a European peacekeeping unit sent to reunify America.

The strategy war game, developed by PopTop Software (behind the "Railroad Tycoon" franchise), was published in 2005 by 2K Games, a division of Take-Two Interactive. Take-Two also has an adaptation of "BioShock" set up at Universal.

Straczynski, whose martial-arts actioner "Ninja Assassin" bows Nov. 25 via Warner Bros., is penning a "Silver Surfer" pic at Fox and a "Forbidden Planet" reboot at Warner Bros., and he adapted zombie book "World War Z" at Paramount. He also wrote Clint Eastwood's "Changeling."

His Vietnam War drama "They Marched Into Sunlight" is in pre-production at Universal with Paul Greengrass set to helm.

Mike Stenson and Chad Oman will exec produce the project at Jerry Bruckheimer Films, which is readying "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" for the Mouse House to release next summer, based on Ubisoft's vidgame franchise.

It changes all the time and very often it's the Pro One (my favourite!...ed), the 202 or the 303 and let's not even get started on drum machines. At the moment though, I think it's my Korg Mono/Poly. Basically the only synth (apart from a little bit of detuned Pro One playing the same pattern) on my new single, Terror International. Recorded live in one take and all that heavy, undulating texture comes from one analog sequencer driving the Mono/Poly and me varying the noise level, VCA and VCF settings in real time. A truly amazing synthesiser.


It's a somewhat overlooked synth with 4 oscillators and all kinds of cross-mod capabilities. The warmest noise generator on any synth, an insane filter (the only synth I can think of with more bass when the resonance is up), a great effects section, 2 LFOs, an arpeggiator and really well implemented CV control. It's got tons of character and flexibility sonically and also looks great and feels really nice to use.

I got mine from a dodgy shop down Leith (Billy Bostons) and it even came to New York while I lived there for a while. The piece of gear I've owned the longest in my studio. Its sound can be lush discordant stabs or alien sci-fi textures all with the pressing of the unison and band pass filter buttons. The 12 oscillators can really sing and cut through any mix or it can just sound grumpy hanging around in the background. I don't think it was well received in 1983 as the DX-7 came out but I can tell you which one I'd rather have today. Used it on nearly every record I've done but I suppose the classic one would be Sugar Experiment Station - Ultimathule EP which I recorded with Tobias Schmidt in 1996.


Korg Minikorg 700s

Optimo (Espacio)
One of the first wave of affordable synths from the mid 70s. Wood side panels and knobs with names such as "bender" - who could resist? Whole records have been made using only this machine with Warm Leatherette by The Normal being a shining example. Mine doesn't work but still has pride of place in my studio.


Roland Juno 106

Lachlan Lewis MacColl aka Operator
Looks as if it were part of the control panel from the Millennium Falcon, 80s dark grey with colourful buttons like forgotten penny chews. Probably considered a bit of a baby synth because it's not hard to program and you don't need to spend £70 on patch cables to enjoy it. But it's really flexible, the pads are interesting, the bass is pretty much an SH-101 when you stick it in monophonic and the lead elements are piercingly warm. I'll always appreciate the Juno because it eased my entry into the world of synths. I used it on my most recent release on Mighty Robot.

I use a Minimoog on almost everything these days, and have had a billion analogue synths over the years, but this has a place in my heart. I bought mine way back in the early 90s and although it isn't the most versatile machine, it does make some amazing sounds due to it's six (!) oscillators. It was designed to be 6 separate single oscillator monosynths in a box, but the sounds made from just one oscillator are very thin. It really comes into it's own when put into 'unison' mode, and all 6 oscillators fire simultaniously. This creates lovely fat chorused basses and lead sounds (that even the Minimoog can't copy) and I use them all the time. It's also the analogue i've had the longest. I'll never sell it!

I loved the sound of it so much I got my mate's mum to buy me one from America. Found another mate to fit it with a British transformer, then trashed it up carrying it around to gigs all the time. Still got it, tho it doesn't really work any more cos I put it under the bed and my cat pee'd on it.

The first proper synth I had, apart from an old Yamaha keyboard. I was using old Roland drum machines and samplers. It was my first synth that made proper bass, which was right up my street. I recorded every track on my entire first EP for Tresor (Postmortem Pop) with this beast. It's a true classic!


Roland TB-303 Bassline

The 303 changed my life in Stirling back in 1984, as soon as I heard the sound I was hooked. It can have other eggsternal analogue eggstruments wired into it and can also be retro modified, plus the 1/2 dozen frequency knobs remind me of eggs in a box.

Despite being regarded as less musically approachable due to its unique design it is capable of producing some really far out sounds like those on the Synthi 100 (as used by BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 70s) plus it was portable as opposed to being room sized. It's been used by The Alan Parsons Project to the Aphex Twin and many, many more.

A classic sounding synth in its day that everyone will have heard without knowing it, from the opening of Van Halen - Jump to Radio Ga Ga by Queen. Brings back childhood memories.


DSI Evolver

Designed by Dave Smith (obviously). He was the brains behind Sequential Circuits, so he's responsible for some of the finest noise-making devices ever created. My favourite thing about the Evolver is that's it's so hard to keep in check, it's almost got a mind of it's own, I love that! I've used it on various tracks, sometimes I've used two. One track of note would be Don't Get Evolved (a crap play on words, I know), from the Unleash Electric Death EP I recorded as The Flying Lurinskys with Michael Forshaw.

Newly minted banner Vigilante Entertainment is launching operations by developing Warren Ellis' comicbook series "Black Summer" with Ryne Pearson ("Knowing") tapped to adapt.

"Summer," published by Avatar Press in 2007, centers on superhero team the Seven Guns, a group of scientist-adventurers who modified their own bodies for street-fighting in order to take back their West Coast city from a corrupt police force, criminal local government and rapacious private security forces.

Ellis also penned the graphic novel "Red," with Summit in pre-production on an adaptation; Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman are attached.

Vigilante is headed by Hicham Benkirane, former head of audiovisual development at French comicbook publisher Les Humanoides Associes. Benkirane will retain control over a handful of Humanoids properties that he developed during his tenure, including crime thriller "Miss: Better Living Through Crime," supernatural fantasy tale "The Book of Jack" and "Fragile," a post-apocalyptic zombie love story.

Benkirane has also raised capital to option material from other publishers and has recruited Ersin Pertan, formerly with Michael De Luca Prods., to lead the search. WME's also working with Vigilante in packaging new material.

DOHA, Qatar -- Qatari media company Al Noor Holdings used Sunday's closing of the Doha Tribeca Film Festival to announce its launch into the movie biz with a $150 million feature about the Prophet Mohammed, to be produced by Barrie Osborne ("Lord of the Rings," "The Matrix").

Osborne and Al Noor execs are in discussions with a number of studios, distributors and tenpercenteries about boarding the English-language project.

Al Noor thus becomes the latest link between Hollywood and the Mideast, where companies are anxious to provide work for local filmmakers and to offer a more positive portrayal of Islam around the world.

One of the challenges of this project, however, is that Islamic tradition dictates that neither Prophet Mohammed nor direct members of his family can be depicted. Presumably the film will show events surrounding his life and Mohammed's effect on those around him. The narrative will run from the years from before his birth through to his death.

Muslim cleric and TV personality Sheik Yousef al-Qaradawi will serve as a technical consultant.

"He was a profound genius who founded a religion whose name in Islam signifies peace and reconciliation," Osborne said. "This is what our film will aspire to do."

The project is in development and does not have a director or cast attached yet.

Arab-American filmmaker Moustafa Akkad previously tackled the same subject in 1976 pic "The Message," starring Anthony Quinn and Irene Papas.

The announcement comes only days after Al Noor launched a $200 million revolving film fund to invest in Hollywood and international projects (Daily Variety, Oct. 30). The first projects from the fund are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Tribeca co-founder Robert De Niro jetted in for the Doha Tribeca fest Sunday to announce a year-round series of education initiatives designed to boost Qatar's film infrastructure. The initiatives include screenwriting and directing labs, as well as a reciprocal exchange program between Doha and New York for aspiring filmmakers.

"The festival is not just about four days," said fest exec director Amanda Palmer. "It is a year-round commitment. The start of these bold educational initiatives is a major step toward welcoming new voices to the global film community and to creating a film industry in Qatar in the long term."

The labs are slated to begin in March and will be evaluated by a committee led by Palmer and Tribeca Enterprises chief exec Geoff Gilmore.

The exchange program will bring 10 budding filmmakers from the Qatari community to the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival in New York and 10 aspiring filmmakers from New York to the 2010 fest in Qatar.

The closing-night ceremony also saw director Liz Mermin's doc "Team Qatar," about Qatar's first national high school debate team, win the fest's audience prize for best film.

Palestinian helmer Najwa Najjar's "Pomegranates and Myrrh" took the aud nod for Arab film.

Samo da je uzmu Keanua da igra Proroka. To bi mi slomilo srce.

Bet you didn't see THAT coming, laddies and lassies!

But this is one of several big surprises planned for next year and you'll hear a bit more about this in February when we start to release details. What is it? Who is it about? Well, that's all a secret for now, but I learned a lot from Kick-Ass and love having the same creative freedom I have with comics when I work in cinema. I never want to be a studio bitch and go in there pitching for them to love me. The closest I came to this was a couple of calls regarding Superman, but pretty much none of my plans ever revealed as I didn't like the idea of anyone nicking them.

Similarly, I don't like the idea of asking for funding and justifying scenes with the money-men so I'm doing what Matthew Vaughn did with Kick-Ass and just making it outside the system with private investors. The financing is all secured and the movie stands or falls on how good I can make it, doing what Matthew did and just selling it once completed.

As you can imagine, I couldn't be more excited. More as it happens, but this might just beat out War Heroes and American Jesus as my follow-ups to the Wanted and Kick-Ass movies. Have two other pictures about to go into development (and Wanted and Kick-Ass 2, of course), but I think you need to scare the Hell out of yourself every once in a while and something totally new like directing should do the trick.

The big question: Are you allowed to direct without wearing a baseball cap? Is it the modern version of the 70s BEARD?
