Преминула глумица Ђурђија Цветић

Quote
Филмска, телевизијска и позоришна глумица Ђурђија Цветић преминула је синоћ у 73. години, саопштило је Југословенско драмско позориште.


Глуму је дипломирала на Факултету драмских уметности у Београду, у класи професора Миленка Маричића 1969. године, од када је и чланица Југословенског драмског позоришта.


Гостовала је у Звездара театру, Народном позоришту, Београдском драмском позоришту, Црногорском народном позоришту, Народном позоришту у Сомбору и многим другим.
Добитница је више признања: награде "Милош Жутић" за улогу Скупа у представи "Скуп" Југословенског драмског позоришта (2002), награде "Жанка Стокић" за животно дело (2004), плакете "Жанка Стокић" за најбоље глумачко остварење 12. Позоришних свечаности "Жанки у част" (2013).
На сцени матичног театра, Југословенског драмског позоришта, одиграла је десетине улога. Припадала је такозваној генерацији "Бојанових беба", групе младих глумаца које је Бојан Ступица позвао у ЈДП у време његове генерацијске обнове.
После улоге Пем у "Спасенима" Едварда Бонда, својом појавом, лепотом и сценском снагом, Ђурђија Цветић ступиће и у велики, класични репертоар као Шекспирова Регана у "Лиру", Дездемона у "Отелу", Оливија у "Богојављенској ноћи".
Њен у исти мах модеран и класичан сценски израз дошао је до пуног изражаја у великим, иконичким представама попут Симовићевог "Путујућег позоришта Шопаловић" у режији Дејана Мијача где је играла Јелисавету Протић, потом Брехтовом "Баалу" као Емилија, Ведекиндовом "Буђењу пролећа" као Фани Габор.
Последњих година ангажмана у ЈДП-у, играла је са великим успехом Рањевску у Чеховљевом "Вишњику", Лагарсовим "Правилима понашања у модерном друштву", а нарочито у насловној улози Држићевог "Скупа" редитеља Јагоша Марковића, у којој је, тумачећи мушку улогу, остварила театарско чудо, вишеструко вредновано и награђивано на домаћим и регионалним фестивалима.
Остаје упамћена као Сека у телевизијској серији "Грлом у јагоде" Срђана Карановића, као и по улогама у "Сивом дому", "Почетном ударцу" и "Заборављенима" Дарка Бајић, "Октоберфесту" Драгана Кресоје, ТВ серији "Улица липа".
Драмски програм Радио Београда чува сећање на њен особен глас и глумачку експресију у десетинама радио-драма.
Комеморација у Југословенском драмском позоришту биће одржана у септембру.

Frances Oldham Kelsey, F.D.A. Stickler Who Saved U.S. Babies From Thalidomide, Dies at 101

QuoteThe sedative was Kevadon, and the application to market it in America reached the new medical officer at the Food and Drug Administration in September 1960. The drug had already been sold to pregnant women in Europe for morning sickness, and the application seemed routine, ready for the rubber stamp.
But some data on the drug's safety troubled Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey, a former family doctor and teacher in South Dakota who had just taken the F.D.A. job in Washington, reviewing requests to license new drugs. She asked the manufacturer, the William S. Merrell Company of Cincinnati, for more information.


Thus began a fateful test of wills. Merrell responded. Dr. Kelsey wanted more. Merrell complained to Dr. Kelsey's bosses, calling her a petty bureaucrat. She persisted. On it went. But by late 1961, the terrible evidence was pouring in. The drug — better known by its generic name, thalidomide — was causing thousands of babies in Europe, Britain, Canada and the Middle East to be born with flipperlike arms and legs and other defects.


Dr. Kelsey, who died on Friday at the age of 101, became a 20th-century American heroine for her role in the thalidomide case, celebrated not only for her vigilance, which spared the United States from widespread birth deformities, but also for giving rise to modern laws regulating pharmaceuticals.
She was hailed by citizens' groups and awarded honorary degrees. Congress bestowed on her a medal for service to humanity and passed legislation requiring drug makers to prove that new products were safe and effective before marketing them. President John F. Kennedy signed the landmark law that she had inspired, and presented her with the nation's highest federal civilian service award.
"Her exceptional judgment in evaluating a new drug for safety for human use has prevented a major tragedy of birth deformities in the United States," Kennedy said at a White House ceremony.
Dr. Kelsey was appointed to the Order of Canada last month and presented with the honor in a private ceremony the day before her death at her daughter Christine Kelsey's home in London, Ontario, where Dr. Kelsey had been living, according to John Swann, a historian at the F.D.A. and a friend of hers.
In 1962, the F.D.A. set up a branch to test and regulate new drugs, and Dr. Kelsey was put in charge of it. Later, she became director of the agency's Office of Scientific Investigations, and in a distinguished 45-year career with the F.D.A. helped rewrite the nation's medical-testing regulations, strengthening protections for people and against medical conflicts of interest. The rules have been adopted worldwide.
She was born Frances Oldham in Cobble Hill, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, on July 24, 1914, one of three children of Frank and Katherine Stuart Oldham. Frances attended schools in Victoria and McGill University in Montreal, earning a bachelor's degree in 1934 and a master's in science in 1935. In 1936, she enrolled at the University of Chicago, where she earned a doctorate in pharmacology in 1938. She joined the faculty that year and became an assistant professor of pharmacology.

  Continue reading the main story She and Dr. Fremont Ellis Kelsey, a professor in the university's pharmacology department, married in 1943. He became a special assistant to the surgeon general in 1962 and died in 1966. The couple had two daughters.
Besides her daughter Christine, Dr. Kelsey is survived by another daughter Susan Duffield, two grandsons and a sister.
Dr. Kelsey received her medical degree from the University of Chicago in 1950. She was an editorial associate for the American Medical Association Journal in Chicago for two years before the Kelseys moved to Vermillion, S.D. He became chairman of physiology and pharmacology at the University of South Dakota medical school. From 1954 to 1957, she taught pharmacology there, and for the next three years was in private medical practice. She became a naturalized American in 1956.


Her husband's appointment to a post at the National Institutes of Health took the family to Washington in 1960. She accepted the F.D.A. job evaluating applications for licenses to market new drugs. Merrell's was one of the first to cross her desk.
The company made glowing claims for Kevadon's safety and effectiveness. It had been developed in West Germany, and since 1957 had been widely sold in Europe and elsewhere as an excellent sedative, Merrell said, giving prompt, deep, natural sleep without hangovers. Moreover, doctors had recently been prescribing it to women to suppress nausea in pregnancy.
Laws governing new drugs had been on the books for decades but were not always rigorously enforced, and F.D.A. approval was often routine. But Dr. Kelsey, working with a chemist and a pharmacologist, found the evidence for Merrell's claims about Kevadon to be insufficient. She withheld approval and asked Merrell for more data on toxicity, strength and purity.


Merrell stood to make millions and was anxious to get moving. It had tons of Kevadon in warehouses, ready for marketing, and 1,000 American doctors had already been given samples for "investigational" research. The company supplied more data, but also mounted a campaign to pressure Dr. Kelsey. Letters, calls and visits from Merrell executives ensued. She was called a fussy, stubborn, unreasonable bureaucrat.
But she refused to be hurried, insisting that there was insufficient proof. In February 1961, she read a letter in The British Medical Journal from a doctor who suggested that thalidomide might be causing a numbing condition in arms and legs. She notified Merrell, and the company began its own inquiry. In May, she told Merrell that the drug might affect the limbs of fetuses. The company called the evidence inconclusive.
"I had the feeling," she wrote after a meeting with company executives, "that they were at no time being wholly frank with me, and that this attitude has obtained in all our conferences, etc., regarding this drug."
Six months later, European reports indicated that the drug was linked to an epidemic of phocomelia, a rare but monstrous malformation of limbs in newborns. Merrell withdrew its application as reports of the births of "thalidomide babies" came in from many countries. Kevadon samples given to American doctors were traced, but not all were retrieved. Seventeen births of babies with deformities were reported in the United States, according to the F.D.A. Advertisement

  Continue reading the main story Eventually researchers learned that thalidomide crossed the placental barrier and retarded development of the fetus, whose drug-metabolizing enzymes are undeveloped. No one knows how many babies were affected by thalidomide, but estimates range into the tens of thousands in Europe alone. Many were born without arms or legs, some with no limbs or with withered appendages protruding directly from the trunk. Some had no external ears or deformities of the eyes, the esophagus or intestinal tracts.
After an article in The Washington Post led to global coverage, Dr. Kelsey was hailed as a hero. She insisted that her pharmacologist, Oyam Jiro, and chemist, Lee Geismar, as well as her superiors share the credit. But attention focused on her partly because the Kennedy administration and its allies in Congress wanted to use the case to pass stronger drug regulations. The 1962 law required tighter proof of the safety and effectiveness of new drugs, full disclosure of side effects and generic names, and swift removal of unsafe drugs from the market.
When she became widely known, Dr. Kelsey, a tall, graying woman who spoke softly and never wore cosmetics, seemed modest to the point of shyness. But she testified in Congress, spoke to women's groups and at college forums and gradually became accustomed to the spotlight.
In 2000 Dr. Kelsey was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, joining the ranks of Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Mead and other luminaries. She retired in 2005, and in 2010 was honored by Dr. Margaret Hamburg, then the F.D.A. administrator, as the first recipient of an award that continues to be given annually in her name.

И она Страва у Улици бријестова, какав досадан филм, сигурно га је прекинула након пола сата.

Nije lako biti nekonvencionalan horor fanovi su jedna konzervativna pojava u velikom broju slucajeva.

Ne sekirajte se Gulče i Harvestere, neko mora da bude i bela vrana, bolje ja nego vi Pogledala sam ceo. Okej film

Ali evo, ispostovah coveka...sta ocete vise.

Da, ni ja nisam voleo Elm Stritove, meni je Fredi uvek bio karikatura slešer negativca, mada je to svakako donekle bilo i nameravano, Craven je već osamdesetih naginjao skrimovskoj postmoderni. No, to ne znači da ne možemo svi ovde biti prijatelji!!!!!!!

Mudro zboris Meho. Slazem se sa izrecenim

Pamtim Krejvena po filmovima kao što je The Serpent and the Rainbow, dok mi Scream, pa čak i Nightmare on Elm Street skoro ništa ne znače. Biće da sam suviše gledao Fantazmu u ono vreme.

činiš čestu, klasičnu grešku (zato te mase vole, što razmišljaš ko one!) - gledaš prvi film u svetlu nastavaka (koje krejven nije radio - izuzev nešto sitno treći, kao koscenarista) koji su od fredija napravili varijanty crypt keepera sa stalnim pošalicama i kreveljenjem.
toga u prvom delu - krejvenovom! - ima VRLO malo, i lepo je uklopljeno sa stravom.
toga, takođe, ima još manje, u poslednjem delu - krejvenovom! - odnosno u new nightmare.

A ljubav prema NOES i Halloween bas ukazuje na jaku individualnost Zato su Krejven i Karpenter uz Romera najpopularniji zanrovski reditelji, cak i medju onima koji ne prate horor, jer ih treba razumeti....ne moze to svako.

o, gospode!
sad će ovo stvorenje hronično lišeno ukusa da nas ubedi kako je znak individualnosti to što će da ispoljava dopadanje prema filmovima koje niko ne voli!
"juhuuu, ja sam originalna, individualna, posebna, meni se ne sviđaju priznati klasici i remek-dela kao NOES i HALLOWEEN, to je za rulju, meni je super i izuzetna orgija klišea i mediokritetizma kao što je MAMA!"

Ne jedi se Gulče, pa to ne znaci da ne mozemo svi ovde biti prijatelji!!!!!!!

Masa ljubavi i ljubav masa - jedine dve moje slabosti. 

Seriously though, Jedini NOES koji sam pogledao u celini je bio original - Krejvenov!!!!!!!! Drugi i treći sam pokušao da gledam i odustao. Četvrti sam samo vido trejler i odusto, mada iz ove perspektive, ipak je to Reni Harlin, možda mu jednom treba dati šansu.

Verujem ja da je Fredi u prvom delu kulturniji ali mi je i dalje bio suviše kempi čak i u odnosu na veseli tandem Džejsona i Majkla.

Srpent end d rejnbou je već druga priča. To bih volio da repriziram. I tu se sećam određene količine kampovanja ali je taj film kampovao na boljim mestima a srž priče mi je delovala ozbiljnije i prijemčivije.

Skrim mi se, kontrari tu ol lodžik - dopao. Mada jeste bio na par koraka od braće Uajans, ali opet, videla se tu ruka starog majstora.

možda je bolje da ovu diskusiju nastavimo na prikladnom mestu - recimo ovde: http://www.znaksagite.com/diskusije/index.php?topic=124.new#new --- a da groblje ostavimo za izraze saučešća, žaljenja, i za nove pokojnike...

Novelist Jackie Collins dies of breast cancer aged 77

Quote

Novelist Jackie Collins has died after a battle with breast cancer, her family said.

The 77-year-old sister of actress Joan Collins was described as a trailblazer for women in fiction, having sold more than 500 million novels in more than 40 countries in her four decades-long career.

Paying tribute to the grandmother-of-six, her family said: " It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the death of our beautiful, dynamic and one of a kind mother, Jackie Collins, who died of breast cancer today.

"She lived a wonderfully full life and was adored by her family, friends and the millions of readers who she has been entertaining for over four decades.

"She was a true inspiration, a trail blazer for women in fiction and a creative force. She will live on through her characters but we already miss her beyond words."

In an interview with the Press Association earlier this month Collins, who was made an OBE two years ago, spoke of the tragedies in her life when people close to her died from illness.

"I lost my mother to cancer, my husband of 25 years to cancer and then my fiance. I know a lot about looking after people when they are sick. Oscar (Lerman, her second husband) was a very strong man who was 20 years older than me. I knew he'd had a fantastic life. My kids looked after him so wonderfully and I just kept writing."

Марио Кајано (Mario Caiano), италијански редитељ и сценариста, преминуо је у Риму 20. септембра у 82 години.

Umro Jogi Bera. Sećam se kao klinac njegovih lucidnih misli, stalno su ga citirali po časopisima. A bejzbol uopšte ne pratim.

RIP John Guillermin,
the director of such films as THE TOWERING INFERNO, the 1976 KING KONG, DEATH ON THE NILE, KING KONG LIVES, and TARZAN'S GREATEST ADVENTURE.
He died on September 28 at the age of 89.

Preminuo filmski kritičar Nebojša Popović




Beta   | 03. 10. 2015.

Filmski kritičar i nekadašnji urednik Filmskog programa Radio-televizije Srbije (RTS) Nebojša Popović preminuo je danas u Beogradu u 57. godini, saopštio je RTS.

Kako se navodi, Popović je karijeru u Televiziji Beograd počeo 1982. godine u Beogradskoj hronici da bi kasnije obavljao dužnost urednika vesti, emisije "24 časa", voditelja i urednika Trećeg dnevnika.

U periodu od 2002. do 2004. godine, uređivao je Filmski program RTS.
Autor je emisije o filmu "Drugi vek", koja se emituje od 1997. godine a bio je i jedan od urednika nedeljnog magazina iz kulture "Metropolis".

Više od 30 godina pisao je o filmu, a za najbolju filmsku kritiku nagrađen je 1993. godine nagradom Instituta za film.

Kao član međunarodne sekcije filmskih kritičara FIPRESCI Srbija, učestvovao je u radu žirija na mnogim domaćim i stranim festivalima a bio je i selektor oko 20 filmskih festivala posvećenih značajnim evropskim kinematografijama.

Mada ne mogu da kazem da sam se bas slagao sa njegovim filmskim stavovima (ali svakako sam mogao da uvazavam), njegove emisije i intervjui su bili za svetlosnu godinu ispred onih koje nam sada poturaju na RTS (a u kojima je glavna zvezda njena frizura a ne sagovornik).
U svakom slucaju, tuzna, i poprilicno mi sokantna vest.

Auu, kako tužna vest. Ode ZZ Munja.



Preminuo je stripski autor, istoričar, izdavač i naš drug Zdravko Zupan.

Zagreb 7. 2. 1950. - Beograd 9. 10. 2015.

Večna mu slava.

Aubre...  rano. RIP.

uf, nisam znala ni za nebojšu.
