Okay, now as you all know, this is mostly a blog for comedic posts about my bowels. However, you may also know that I am a staunch feminist. I noticed my last post regarding Chris Brown got a pretty good number of hits, which means people care about this hot-button issue. But I'll admit that I am one of about ten bazillion feminist bloggers hautily throwing around my Chris Brown anger, though I've never truly experienced serious domestic abuse. What made me realize I didn't fully understand what I was going on about was something I read this week. One of my dearest friends, whom I respect and consider a smart, independent, hilarious, glowing example of ferocity and beauty in a woman, wrote something that she wasn't able to write before. The Chris Brown Grammy backlash seemed to jar it out of her, and she is a tough egg to crack.
My friend, appropriately referred to as Mega, cupped her metaphorical balls and BRAVELY wrote about her own experience with domestic violence, one that she had mentioned to me before, but boy. I had no fucking idea. This piece is courageous, well-written, and sheds light on what many people assume they understand, but like me, they might not. Not really. Domestic violence can happen to anyone, even bright, whip-smart feminists, and it goes far beyond cuts and bruises. It does damage to the human spirit. I encouraged my friend to share her story on my blog because I think it is something that needs to be read to your daughters, to your students (I'm talkin' to you Barney), and to any young women in your life whom you care about. Without further adieu:
Anton by Meaghan Forrestal
I remember vividly the morning after the Grammy Awards in 2009. At probably around 9am I was getting driven home by my then-boyfriend on his way to work. He worked in the neighborhood adjacent to mine, so it usually just made sense to get up early and hitch a ride rather than deal with the complexities and annoyances of intra-borough transportation. I had worked the night before, taken a cab to his apartment, curled up next to him and fell pretty swiftly asleep. Though, I was always pretty exhausted in the morning on the rides home, as you would expect from a bartender dating a 9-5er. A little bleary eyed we'd listen to the radio, chat, plan out the rest of our day, and get some bagels before he'd drop me at mine where I'd fall right back to sleep. I remember on this particular day we were driving down McGuinness Boulevard and the radio DJs were discussing what had happened the night previous between Rhianna and Chris Brown. As a life long feminist (my mother literally had me saying, "I am a strong, independent woman" on demand the second I learned to talk. She would say, "what are you?" and I would come back with passion, "I am a strong, independent women!") I was immediately disgusted. I did not know, nor care, who the fuck Chris Brown was, but any man who puts his hands on a women in anger in ANY capacity makes me absolutely revolted. My boyfriend and I talked about what happened and how awful it was, and he grabbed my hand over the center console, looked me in the eyes and said, "I promise I would never hurt you like that. I love you too much." Which I thought was sweet, but an entirely unnecessary statement… kind of like hearing about a bank getting robbed, and then going to your local branch and telling the teller, "I promise I'll never rob you at gunpoint. I appreciate your customer service too much." Its like okay… thanks? I'm glad you're willing to not do something awful, but I'm now weirded out you seem to think it's within the realm of possibility.
About a month and a half later I found out that it was well within the realm of possibility for my boyfriend to do what Chris Brown did to Rhianna, which is, to sum up: beat the shit out of your "significant" other, violating every inch of trust implicit within a loving relationship, and at least in my case, tearing that person down to their smallest, lowest denominator, filling them with shame and self-loathing.
I think it's important to put things into perspective when thinking about domestic violence. This is not a bar room brawl. This is not stranger danger. This is not a random act of pure violence. Imagine being in what we think of to be a normal, healthy loving relationship. I was madly in love with my boyfriend. He was 6'2, cut from stone, and gorgeous. I thought he was funny, caring, shameless, and made me feel loved. Sure we fought, and we fought HARD. He was an American raised-Russian so his ideals were a little misogynistic and mine were the opposite, so we often butted heads. We spent almost all of our time together and he was the first person I had been with that I felt like I could truly be myself with. I let my guards down, and didn't feel like I was fighting anymore. I felt loved, in love and at peace 90% of the time. My parents and my friends loved him. We talked about both going back to school to get our masters, and then when we graduated getting married. Which, for anyone who knows me is a CRAZY notion (the marriage talk not the masters part). And the sex. The sex was still to this day the best I've ever had. So what I mean, and need for you imagine, is a perfectly happy, normal, loving relationship. Because it's not always like on TV, with a drunken loser mechanic upset with his position in his life who takes it out on his pregnant high school drop out girlfriend. Or the bad boy sadist who we KNEW the protagonist should have stayed away from… because he wears ripped jeans and drives a motorcycle. It's not like that at all.
I had been working the night shift. It was a slow night and Anton was at the bar drinking Jim Beams and sodas, keeping me company. I closed the bar early since it was dead, and ran into an old coworker on the sidewalk. We all went into the bar a couple doors down, and had a couple of shots of café Patron. I was a little tipsy, and I guess so was Anton, but we still got in his car anyway and drove back to his house (stupid, I know). I got into the shower… and that's when it all fell apart.
There are a lot of hazy parts, and my memory of this night sometimes doesn't feel like my own. I can only really remember what happened from a 3rd person perspective… like my consciousness was a camera floating above my head. Which is weird, because I can SEE myself… but I know that's not possible. And it's non-sequential. It's like a fucked up really long experimental film.. I came out of the shower and we fought about something. I don't remember what, but I remember days later thinking about how stupid it was. We were on the bed, and he was just holding me really, really tight and wouldn't let go. And all I wanted was to be let go, to be angry about whatever I was angry about. So I squirmed and pushed against him, and then all the sudden my shoulders were pinned to the bed, he was above me, and then SLAP.
After the shock wore off I was PISSED. This motherfucker just slapped me across the face! My mouth was exploding with anger. I am generally described as being full of piss and vinegar, and when I'm angry it's more like gasoline and lighter fluid, so you can imagine what I might have been saying.
And then he slapped me again, harder this time.
Now is when I lose sequence. I get out of the bed and I am still naked from the shower. I'm not scared yet, I'm just really, really mad. Anton gets out of the bed too. He grabs me, slaps me AGAIN, and as I recoil, he launches me into the wall and I slide to the floor. The anger doesn't fade, but his eyes are completely vacant, and my tears switch from the ones that well up from frustration, to the ones that stream when your not sure if you're going to be okay. My words are a little less aggressive and a little more pleading as he grabs me by my hair, drags me across the room, pulls me to my feet, and then punches me so hard in the stomach that it knocks the wind out of me and I fall to my knees. Something in me thinks this feels like a test, like he is just seeing how far he can push me before I break and stop fighting back. But I'm not sure if backing down will make it worse or better.
We're both calling each other vicious names, but his cut deeper… considering I'm naked, doubled over on my knees on the floor. His voice is so laden with disgust and his eyes are so empty and wild that I'm not sure who or what I'm dealing with. But this wasn't MY Anton. I started looking for my stuff, my phone, my wallet, my keys, MY CLOTHES. I couldn't find anything. To this day I don't know how or when, but at some point he locked my jacket, my phone, and my purse in his car. So for what felt like hours, and in fact, turned out to be hours, he degraded and bullied me. He unleashed enough forced to be painful, but not enough to cause any severe damage. Besides the slapping, he avoided my face. And every time he grabbed me and threw me down, dragged me by my hair, choked me, or upper-cut me to the stomach, he made sure to remind me how disgusting and unlovable I was and how much he could really hurt me if he wanted to.
After a while, he gave me my clothes and told me to get out. And when I say told, I mean I put on my clothes and he grabbed me and literally tossed me out the front door of his apartment, almost knocking me down the stairs. He lived across the street from the Projects (and a tough one at that) and I still didn't know where my phone or my keys or my jacket were. I don't really remember but I think it was snowing or had snowed. It was the middle of the night, and I had no metro-card, no money, no jacket, no keys, and no way of getting anywhere. I checked his car, which was locked, but I didn't see my stuff (it was all stuffed under the back seat) so I just walked to the bus stop,and sat there and cried.
I had only two options. Sit outside and freeze until a reasonable enough hour that I could talk a cab to a friends house, and hope they were awake to come lend me money or go back upstairs and try to get my shit, or at the very least subway fare… Sadly, the most reasonable option at the time seemed to be to go back upstairs.
The door to his building was always busted so, I got back in to the complex but he had locked the front door behind me. So I slammed and screamed at it for about 20 minutes (how his neighbors didn't call the cops I'll never understand, or forgive). He, who HAD FALLEN ASLEEP, finally answered the door and asked why I was still there and why I was acting crazy. I ran into the apartment, demanding my things back, rummaging through everything. He was a neat freak, so my jacket and purse were ALWAYS in the same place, and they weren't there. I could have sworn that I had put them there, but they weren't there. They were nowhere and he wouldn't tell me anything. He started screaming at me again to calm down, that he didn't know where my things were, that we could find them in the morning, and I resumed cowering and crying. And I couldn't stop crying. I didn't want to be crying. He didn't want me to be crying. Which, just all made me cry harder. It was probably close to 4am at this point, and he gave up bullying me and decided we needed to go to bed. I refused to go near him and went to his living room determined to stay on the futon. I was sobbing uncontrollably. Nothing felt real. I just wanted someone to hold me and make me feel better, but the only person who could do that was Anton, and he was the reason I felt that way. This little bubble encasing our perfect little love with our perfect little future hadn't just popped… it had never really existed. He told me he never loved me, that he was just using me for sex, that he could never love anyone like me, and he hit me. He hit me over and over and over. Like he promised he wouldn't, like I knew deep in my soul that he wouldn't. And he lied, and my gut was wrong, terribly wrong.
I guess after a few minutes my crying became too much for Anton, too ANNOYING. Because he got out of his bed, grabbed a large knife off the kitchen counter, pulled me into sitting position and shoved the knife against my throat. He had one hand pinning me to the back of the futon, and the other holding the knife as he stood over me with his face inches from mine. He explained to me that if I didn't stop crying he would kill me. He pressed the knife in and I begged him to stop, to think about who he was… who I was. To ask him why he was doing all this too me. He put one hand over my mouth, took the knife away from my throat, pulled it back, and made a swift stabbing motion at my shoulder, halting his swing centimeters away from my skin. He "fake-out stabbed" me a couple more times before returning the knife to my throat to remind me that for the rest of the evening there would be no more sobbing. I was to be quiet, or he would really use the knife.
He brought me back to his bed, took off my clothes, and held me. He slept, I didn't. His alarm went off 2 hour later. He kissed me and told me he loved me and how sorry he was – and then he had sex with me while I silently cried.
I stayed with him for 2 days after that. And I've never hated myself more. On the 3rd day he was 2 hours late meeting me. In those 2 hours I drank 3 martinis. And when we got back to his apartment I finally gave him a piece of my mind.
And then I broke his nose.
You see at the end of the day it wasn't the violence that was the worst of it. I've felt worse pain in my life doing mundane things. But it was this absolute betrayal of self that got me. Because for MONTHS after I was still in love with Anton. And HOW could I love someone that could make me feel so low, so weak, so small? I had always considered myself to be this super strong, iron willed woman. So how did I not see this coming? How could I let someone do that to me? I let myself trust him and every fiber of that trust was blown away the second he slapped me the first time. He managed to go from making me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, to the grossest piece of slime to ever sliver out an ass. And I was so mad, that I couldn't DO anything. I couldn't fight back, I couldn't get away. I COULDN'T DEFEND MYSELF. Because my 5'7 and 130 lbs of lady softness were NOTHING compared to his 6'2 and 190lbs of muscle. Because I was physically and emotionally overpowered and I was helpless. And I hated that, and to this day I still do. I hated being helpless. I hate that someone made me small. I hate that someone made me weak. I hate that someone took away my confidence and my sense of self and left me stripped bare and confused for months after. And that through all that, I still loved him. Like he was my shameful little addiction. Literally he was like kicking crack. You know crack is bad for you, it's an embarrassing addicting, and it'll kill you eventually, but you still want it anyway. I'm forever indebted to my friend Jose, who a week later pretty much saved me from relapse, and never made me feel like a loser for it. I had spent a week back at my parents' house after everything happened and when I got back, Anton was at my door. He was telling me he loved me, how he'd go to counseling, how he'd get himself better so we could be together and be happy again. It was everything I wanted to hear. I knew it was all lies, but I could lie to myself too. And through a friend/family phone chain, everyone found out he was there. Threats of calling the cops made him leave and Jose drove to Brooklyn from Westchester just to let me cry on him for as long as I needed. To just hold me little, which is all I had wanted from Anton, from anyone - to feel safe, and loved, and be held.
The fact that anyone still speaks of Chris Brown amazes me. That men like him and Charlie Sheen are still in our cultural vernacular. Chris Brown is a living breathing FAMOUS representation of Anton, and every man who's ever hit a woman. And sure its been three whole years, but nothing in his behavior shows that he is any less of the manipulating, controlling, women-beater than he was 3 years ago. I may be making assumptions, but it takes a certain type of man to do what he did to Rhianna's face, and the word sociopath generally comes to mind. And I've seen it before first hand. He acts like either an injured child or a self-righteous prick when anyone of any clout even mentions his infraction. He shows calculated and controlled remorse. SOCIOPATH.
So this twitter feed of young women saying "I'd let Chris Brown beat me" and the like, is overly troublesome. Not only does it make light of a serious issue that CLAIMS and RUINS lives, it shows a disturbing trend in today's youth that it's okay to make light of domestic violence. That it's okay to make light of rape. That as long as a woman is the victim it's just not that big of a deal. It's acceptable because we are the second, weaker sex and its just par for the course. That as long as Chris Brown is hot and on top he can punch whomever he wants, because being hit is a small price to pay to get to be with him. Not to mention the implication that Rhianna was "overreacting" or "crazy" for reporting this FELONY against her, because come on, he's Chris Brown... As if any woman who has been abused needs more ridicule or shame to be thrown her way. That breaking it down to just a little ol' beating (ain't no thang) doesn't completely demean the experience and affects of being abused. It's not about being punched in the face. It's about a split second of time in which everything you believed to be true suddenly isn't. Its about the realization the whether you live or die is in the hands of the man you love and you're suddenly unsure of which he'll choose. Which is an utterly fucked concept. All of this bullshit encourages this ridiculous idea that loving a man means he isn't held to any standards of decency. That when a man hits you, you should just get over it. Well I challenge anyone who has never been abused to take a half a second to walk in the shoes of someone who has and then GET OVER IT. One of the reasons that awful things like domestic violence and rape are still so prevalent in our culture are because we've become so adept at just sweeping them under the rug. We fill the survivors with shame and then we never speak of it again, asking everyone to just move on and believe in the power of redemption. But if we never address the issues, and never allow them to be associated with the distain and disapproval and shame for the PERPETRATOR that they deserve… they will continue to happen in an unabashed manner. We silence the victims because it's uncomfortable. Yay! Rhianna you've sold a lot of records so your obviously moved on and completely healed. But half of the reticence about talking about it is the unspoken implication that you are somewhat "less than" as a woman, or a person afterwards. That a man could hit you, or that you would CHOOSE to be with a man that COULD hit you makes you appear weaker, or dumber in the eyes of the general public. And maybe if you don't keep reminding people, they'll forget to see you that way. Which is bullshit.
At first when I saw the positive responses to Chris Brown I thought "I hope one day they actually do get beat and then they can live with both the shame of being abused and the shame of their disgusting comments" but now I just feel sad for them. Sad they are caught in a cultural cog that makes them demean and lesson their own self-worth. That it has become funny and cool for young women to be the enforcers of their own repression and subjugation! Maybe if they knew that one in four women will have experienced violence from their intimate partner in their life, that up to 3 women are murdered A DAY by their partner in this country, or that 1 out of 6 women in the United States is a victim of an attempted or completed rape - then they wouldn't think they were so clever anymore. In an age where frat boys circulate lists of "rape-able" girls, and girls tweet about letting famous men BEAT them after we applaud them on national TV, we all need to be more aware of what comes next. Because it's not about being too much or too little politically correct… it's about making light of and belittling serious issues that ANY woman, regardless of age, race or class, could face.
A couple of months ago I received a text from my ex-boyfriend. In the text he told me that he was different now, and he lived his life in a better, more wholesome way. That he was happy and healthy - spiritually and physically and he wished the same for me.
That text ruined my day.
So just imagine how Rhianna and every other victim of domestic violence must feel when hordes of young women stand on their feet and applaud Chris Browns' return to the Grammy Awards… and then tweet "jokes" about letting him beat them. Shame on you.

Planning a marriage proposal is a source of anxiety to men the world over. In our culture the act of requesting a woman's hand in marriage is fraught with danger, not the least of which is the possibility that the answer to the all-important question may be NO. But let's assume that in real life, as opposed to the movies, you generally don't ask the question if you don't already know the answer. If you do and it's going to be yes then a billboard marriage proposal could be the ideal solution for you.
The great thing about a billboard proposal is that it is memorable and will not be considered plain and ordinary. It allows your romantic creativity to come out and play and perfectly demonstrates just how much you love her! And if you don't believe me check out this great example of a billboard proposal in Times Square, New York.
Billboard Marriage Proposal 101
1. Set the Stage
The most important step is deciding where the message will be posted. There are several options, including advertising billboards, magnetic signs, rock cuts along the road, or even menu or display boards at roadside restaurants or stands. Your particular situation will have to be considered. Since the ultimate goal is for your lover to see your message, the most important criteria is putting it somewhere easily visible.
2. Behind the Scenes
Once you've decided where the question will be displayed, you'll have to prepare for the big day – or night, as the case may be. You'll want an engagement ring and to think about how you will ask the question – the exact words – and be sure that your message will fit on your chosen medium. A billboard has lots of space, but a rock wall may be limited – so plan accordingly.
3. Have an accomplice
You have to get your lover to the place where the question is emblazoned for all – and her – to see, so you may need some help depending again on your plan. Have a friend call you both to come over right away on some pretence, or just make up some reason to go for a drive. If possible have a friend video-tape the whole scene from a hiding place as this will be a great touch and appreciated by both of you in years to come.
The guys in the following video used stencils to put together a beautiful message so take inspiration from this example if you know of a shop shutter or wall in your neighbourhood which you would be allowed to paint on.
4. Popping the question
Once you have the message in place, you'll have to take the plunge, or in this case the drive, to get there. You'll want to make sure the message is readable, so daylight might be best, but night time is more romantic. Use your headlights or bring a powerful flashlight along if you plan to do it at night. Get her to the place and make sure the message is seen, and do the deed.
The guy in the following video pulled it off by renting space on an LED advertising display board. Nothing says I love you like having your name up in lights!
5. Wrapping it up
Once you've laid the foundation, the rest is easy – hopefully. She'll see your personalized, hand-crafted request for marriage on the billboard or rock wall or magnetic sign – and she'll say yes, of course I'll marry you. You'll put the ring on her finger, and you'll both live in romantic bliss, happily ever after – again hopefully.
Asking the woman that you love to marry you doesn't have to be an anxiety-filled process. With your creativity and a little planning, it can be a memory that lasts a lifetime. And the roadside message method has the added quality of being a public declaration of your love – which will make the event that much more memorable.
What's Next?
Before you go through with your proposal you want to make sure you have the perfect engagement ring to hand. We've taken the pain out of this difficult buying decision by giving you the complete lowdown on everything you need to know about engagement rings form how to shop for them on your own to whether to ask your partners friends for help. Also included are tips from guys and gals who have been there and done it as well as advice from professional jewellers to ensure you don't get ripped off.

Health care 'reform' is Obama's Waterloo
President Barack Obama may regret making health care "reform" the benchmark of his Presidency.
If the bastard child of the Senate legislative morass that passed on a 60-40 party line vote becomes law it will stand in history as the benchmark of failure for Obama's over-promised, under-performing, one-term Presidency.
Crafted by lobbyists, gutted by compromise and bloated with pork to win support, the 2,000-pages-plus bill scheduled for a vote on Christmas Eve benefits insurance companies and leaves Americans facing higher heath care costs under a system even worse than the one it is designed to replace.

The 52-year-old resurfaced at some event in Palm Springs last week, looking frisky.
Rachel once dated Robert Kennedy's son, David.
Ward has been married to her "Thorn Birds" co-star, Bryan Brown, for 26 years.
Rachel is lovely for 52......
TMZ is tripping. Looking frisky my arse..this chic looks hella older than 52. My mom is in her 60s and looks 20 years younger than this woman does. In fact, my 80+ year old grandmother had fewer wrinkles. Genetics and the sun have not been kind.
As my mom always says, "MOISTURIZE...MOISTURIZE....MOISTURIZE!"
Rachel Ward is still gorgeous and has good genes I think (rather than good plastic surgeons). She is a natural beauty.
I think I read somewhere way back when Thorn Birds came out that Rachel Ward and Richard Chamberlain did not get along that well.
I thought that Rachel and her on-screen (and in real life) husband had a great sexual chemistry. Gorgeous, both of them and good for them being married 26 years!
I'd still like to break it off in her.
There's too much obsession with number of wrinkles in people's faces and if they are "hot", which seems to be some badge of honor. Does she look smart, happy and nice to be with? Yes? Then all is well and she will also be sexy to those or the one she is interested in being sexy for.
If a mature woman who values herself gets in hysteria by wrinkles or cares if unknown people find her "hot", it's a sad state of affairs.
I remember her form that movie "against all odds" with Jeff Bridges. 1984. Phil Collins wrote the title song to the soundtrack. It was a big hit (waaaaay cheezy. This is when Air Supply was super popular so...). I remember absolutely everything in pop culture from 1984. It's so strange. Tina Turner made a comeback, Prince did Purple Rain, Rod Stewart has a new album. The summer Olympics were in LA. I went to the PREMIER of that movie "Revenge of the Nerds" in LA! It was a pretty good year if I remember correctly. Not sure about this movie. I think I saw it but I was like 11 so wouldn't know whether it was good or not. Probably thought there was too much kissing
Loved the Thornbirds. She looks great. Skinny people show more wrinkles in their face. Have you seen Linda Hamilton who is 51 and looks 61? She looks a little like Farah Fawcett.
Rachelle is English who fell in love with an Aussie, Brian Brown. They married and settled in Australia.
Brian Brown is well established actor with many credits under is belt, Rachelle is still involved in the industry doing some series work and producing.
Quit smoking. It will ruin your looks every time.
She IS British, she just married an Aussie. Loved The Thorn Birds back in the day; Richard Chamberlain was drop dead gorgeous and to die for--even if he would of found more of a liking with my handsome older brother. I was a senior in high school in 1983 when it was on and watched it with my dear sweet mother while doing my algebra II homework. No wonder I had such a hard time in my math class that week, because this was one excellent mini-series. Still remember it to this day. I am now 45 and still remember the beach scene where Ralph chases Meggie and kisses her as they fall to the ground. *sigh*
She was in Palm Springs for a film festival. She's still a beautiful woman.
Aging gracefully. Looking beautiful, Rachel.

National Volunteer Week: Thank you Simon
Tram Sessions volunteer: Simon Conlon
What do you do as a volunteer at Tram Sessions?
At Tram Sessions I am a photographer, I take the photos.
Who are you outside of Tram Sessions?
I take mini exhibitions from Melbourne Museum out into regional Victoria, I teach at Westside Circus, and I make a mean cocktail. And I take photos.
What motivates you to volunteer?
I'm new to Melbourne and trying to find my way into interesting projects. Also, you can call yourself whatever you like, but if you are not doing it regularly…
What would the world look like without volunteers?
There would only be a small number of large-scale, ready-established ventures. What can you name that didn't need a bit of a push from some good people for nothing at the very start? Never mind the charitable work that will never break even.
What has been your most memorable experience as a volunteer?
I worked with Clowns Without Borders and took a Clown show into outback communities in the Tanami desert in the Northern Territories for a week. I will never forget it.
Simon's favourite Tram Session:
In the theme of National Volunteer Week, Tram Sessions would like to say 'thanks a million' to Simon!
National Volunteer Week: Thank you Rommel
Volunteering Australia has put together a new campaign which asks people to 'say thanks a million to Australian volunteers'. The statistics show that over 6 million people in Australia are giving up their time, free of charge on an annual basis.
Here at Tram Sessions there are 16 volunteers who help out in some way or another. We have put together a Q&A to find out why they love volunteering.
Congrats Nick!
We had a really nice surprise yesterday. Our co-founder Nick was awarded the 2012 Anthill Magazine 30under30 Readers' Choice Award. As it was voted by the magazine's readers and our supporters (you might have been one of them?) it goes to show that what we do is appreciated. And by more people than us!
So we thought we would ask him a few quick questions. Feels weird to interview your own crew member but hey, it's our blog so we're allowed to do it
An award Nick, must be a bit special?
Yeah, it sure is! Haven't received too many in my life so really happy about it. But it's really a testament to our crew and the bands really. I think people care less about me and more about seeing Paul Kelly on a tram!
So what's next?
Well, we have a few new partnerships forming which is very exciting. We're working hard to build on the momentum from last year and make some really cool stuff happen in 2013. From what we have in the pipeline I can only say it's looking good!
When's the next session?
We have two awesome sessions coming up in the next two weeks! I'm super excited. One international act and one local Melbourne band who's making headlines wherever they go really. Just keep an eye out on Facebook and Twitter and you'll be the first ones to know!
Best of 2012
Hey guys,
We've had so much great music lately that we thought we needed to try this new little nifty play list function using Spotify. This is the first try so let us know what you think!
Best of Tram Sessions 2012
Thanks guys!
2012 has been a big year for Tram Sessions. We've reached 50 filmed sessions (pretty stoked!) and have had a great mix of artists jammin' with us. All from legends like Paul Kelly to up and coming bands like Alpine, Lanie Lane and Vaudeville Smash.
We've had more of those invaluable 'what the h&*# moments', where passengers have started to sing back-up vocals or rapped (yep, that was awesome!).
Now, it's easy to think that this just happens by itself, but the reality is that all what we do take time and a lot of effort from the team. And what a team it is! So instead of going on with more of what we've achieved, here's the great people behind Tram Sessions.
They all contribute in different ways and make this project what it is today. In no particular order, here they are:
Rommel Henricus – Video/Sound and PR
Luisa Mirabilio – Video, Editing, Production & Band Bookings
Ashleigh Hills – Event coordination, Band bookings
Ed Rossi – Video, Editing & Social Media
Hayden Bevis – Video & editing
Sebastian Fiori – Sound & Event crew
Justin Araco – Organisational strategy
Darryn Henricus – Sound & Event crew
Paul Meates – Design and strategy
Adam Saraceno – Photographer
Alex Topaloski – Online guru
Emma Shepherdson – Organisational structure
Anthony Cole – Website guru
Susann Anna – Secretary
Prue Schofield – Support crew
Michael Araco – Website
Busra (Bee) Copuroglu – Funky Relations & Photographer

Tram Session's supporter: Urban Importers
It's less than one month until our Melbourne Music Week event and we can hardly contain our excitement! It has been a very busy period for Tram Sessions and we could not do this without the help of our awesome supporters who love Melbourne's live music scene just as much as we do.
Here is a quick q&a with one of our supporters, Gerard Anderson from Urban Importers, who tells us what he loves about Melbourne.
We can't wait to see you at our event, and if you haven't already got tickets to the Mass Jam After Party on November 19 you can buy them at Pozible.
Happy Commuting!
What is it that your organisation does?
Urban Importers is a boutique importer of beverages from Europe, currently importing Gallia Pils, Borderline Juices and Pimento Ginger Beer from France, 'na Biretta Beer from Italy & the Sacred Spirit range from London.
What do you enjoy most about being Melbourne based?I think Melbourne is a great city to live in, we have such a diverse culture including sports, arts & entertainment and the cafe, restaurant & nightlife are world class – Melbourne people are very passionate and I believe it drives a great culture. I am currently running for a councillor position in The Melbourne City council elections because I would love to become involved in the direction of our city.
What is your favourite Melbourne hang out?
Venue wise, I prefer smaller intimate venues I am a big fan of Neapoli in Russell Place, but on a nice day it's great to take advantage of either one of the many parks in the CBD or a bar like River Land or the Boat Builders Yard which make great use of their outdoor space.
What is your most memorable live music experience in Melbourne?
I managed The Forum Theatre in Melbourne for 6 years so I was lucky to see a number of local & international bands up close, at the height of their success. Powderfinger played 5 nights in a row and every show was great. Nick Cave & the bad seeds are great live performers and I am a big fan of the Black Keys.
If you could see any band on a tram who would you like to see?
If it was fictional – I have always thought it would of been great to have seen a band like the Rolling Stones in their early days, playing a really intimate show. But if I had to pick a band right now I would probably choose the black keys – I think it would be great to rattle along the streets of Melbourne with the guys in charge of the tram!
Thanks for the Yelp, hmmm HELP!
Last week's session with Juan Alban was one sweet ride! Taking the Number 55 Tram, we rolled out of the city with the band and a surprise commuter/rap artist
who was lucky enough to join in on an impromptu jam with the band. This is why we do it! To show off Australia's awesome talent and more so promote our awesome live music scene. And really, what are the odds that a rapper would get on this very tram?!On top of the sessions, we have been busy preparing for our Tram Sessions: Mass Jam, three Bands, one tram and a night of live music as well as the event after party!
The Mass Jam tickets have sold out, but tickets for the Mass Jam after party are still available at www.pozible.com/tramsessions which will be held at Donkey Wheel House on November 19. It will be an awesome night with live music, live art from Le Scratch, yummy Mountain Goat Beer, and juices and ginger beer from Urban importers
Whilst on the topic of the Mass Jam, we've got some more messages of thanks to hand out! Firstly we need to send a shout out to www.yelp.com for spreading the word about our event.
We also want to say a huge thanks to everyone who has already supported us and Melbourne's live music scene through our fundraising campaign at www.pozible.com/tramsessions. We need to reach an amount of $7,000 before November 19, as it's an all or nothing concept. Please spread the word and thanks again for supporting the great music scene of Melbourne!
Happy Commuting!

Parenting with a Diligent Hand, Part 2
- Monday, October 13, 2008
Last time, we looked at Proverbs 10:4, which reads, "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich." Applying the principle found in this verse to parenting, we learned that successful parents must be diligent in training their children. Parenting with a "diligent hand" produces the wonderful riches of upright, charactered children, while parenting with a "slack hand" produces the reverse.
In Part 1, we looked at how diligent parents must:
• Start early. The work of diligent parenting doesn't start after a child reaches a certain age. Instead, it needs to start as soon as a child is born. In fact, in some respects, it actually needs to begin before a child is born.
• Build good habits. The human soul is designed by God to be able to set itself into patterns of regular conduct, so diligent parents must work to train their children in good, positive habits. Somebody has defined character as "doing right until it becomes a habit."
• Determine the path. When Proverbs 22:6 exhorts us to "Train up a child in the way he should go," we need to determine to put our children on the right path. Parents who simply try to restrain their children from doing wrong are not as likely to raise good, Godly children as those who actively put their children on the right path. Why? Because Godliness is primarily positive, not negative. Some people think there are many paths a child could take and be all right, but the Bible says, "Train up a child in the way he should go."
• Keep them on the right path. The right way is a narrow way, and parents must always be alert and watchful. Satan is continually using pressure and deceit from all kinds of sources to get your children off the right path. If you turn your back for a moment, your child will take him or herself off the right path without you doing anything. As parents, it is our responsibility to keep our children on the right path until such time as they're strong and mature enough to keep themselves on the path. (Incidentally, many parents wrongly assume that their children are mature enough to stay on the right path well before they're actually prepared to do so. Discernment is needed here.)
Today, I'd like to look at the question, "How and why do Christian parents let their children get off the right path? And how can diligent parents help keep their children on the right path?"
As we look around today, we see many Christian parents losing their children. Why does this happen? It does not usually happen because parents give their children permission to do wrong when they ask to do something the parent obviously does not want them to do. Instead, it is usually because the child does something wrong and the parent finds out about it, but just lets it go. The child gets off the right path, and when the parents do not speak up, the very fact that they let the wrong go is permission in itself. The child is then left to himself. Remember that "A child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame" (Prov. 29:15).
Rebels in good families do not become rebels all at once. The parents let one area slip a little, and then another area slips and then another, and before you know it, you have a full-blown rebel on your hands who has totally left the happy, joyful path of serving the Lord.
The diligent parent cannot let disrespectfulness, bad friendships, laziness, stubbornness, or disobedience slip by. They can't let it happen. Parents must not let their children off the right way for any reason.

KATHMANDU – Nim Doma Sherpa, who became the first WFP school meals recipient to climb Everest, is now preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania next year as part of her team's mission to reach the highest peak on all the seven continents.
In Tanzania, she will be joined by six Nepali and three African women climbers and will push for the summit of the 5,897-metre summit, the rooftop of Africa. The expedition is scheduled for March 1-7, 2013 - coinciding with International Women's Day.
"I am really excited," said Nim Doma. "We are on the seven summits mission and have so far climbed in three continents. Kilimanjaro will be our fourth summit and that is really exciting."
Nim Doma and her fellow climbers will be highlighting the importance of girls' education and she is keen to meet her African climbing counterparts.
"Although we (Tanzania and Nepal) are geographically apart and culturally very different, women, especially young girls face similar problems and discrimination is a part of life in both countries," she said. "Tanzania is a developing country like Nepal. Their culture and tradition is new to us and I am eager to learn and interact with local people."

A bit of a Mess and Tiredness Takes Over
I think its very difficult to be sharp after the celebration of a birth of a country.
No matter which country it is and no matter who you are.
It is comforting to know I am a part of the 234th time.
Missing the last ferry to Governor Island took me to Times Square.
I think these two activities are in direct opposition to one another.
However I was not in the right frame of mind for the visual explosion that is Times Sq.
Dreamily ambling down Madison Avenue I came across a woman.
She was dressed in navy blue linen fabric blowing gracefully in the wind.
Her back to the street, propping herself against a derelict shop window.
Her black bin liner bags lined her feet and her hair was so knotted that she resembled Mrs Twit. from Roald Dahl's The Twits.
I felt like she looked and the city was just too much for me.
After much indirect derive I made my way home for curry and bed.
Day three.

Naegi-kun you… you FIEND!
Ishimaru, not hearing that the gun was a fake, ran after Naegi, He caught up to him shortly after because of Naegi's little legs. Hope could never outrun justice. When in distance he tackled him, bringing them both to the ground.
As fast a Makoto tried to run, he was no match for the taller guy who easily tackled him to the ground. Water gun and sunglasses flew in different direction as his head smacked against the cold hard floor of the hallway.
Geez, was that…really necessary..?
He would have reached up to rub at the new, sore spot on the back of his head, if it weren't for the muscular weight of the other holding him down.
Okay, okay I'll accept my punishment! But please…get off of me. It kind of hurts now..
Ishimaru let go of Naegi and stood up. He then pulled Naegi off of the floor and grabbed onto the front of his hoodie. Trying to play the bad cop persona which was extremely difficult to do because of the fact he started tearing up from all the excitement. Ishimaru looked straight into Naegi's eyes.
Why did you do it Naegi-kun! Why did you threaten an officer of the law. I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THEN THIS. I TRUSTED YOU. I HAD HOPES AND DREAMS THAT YOU WOULD GO FAR. WE ALL TRUSTED YOU.

« Darwin biopic to open Toronto film festival | Main | Blue Like Effing Jazz? »
July 18, 2009
The Exorcist comes to Blu-Ray ... sort of.
If the original version of the film is left off the disc, then that would be a pity, since the revised version, despite a few improvements, is basically inferior to the original version, thanks to some cheesy bits that I discussed at my blog three years ago. What's more, the original version of the film is long overdue for a remastering as it is; the only edition of it on DVD, at least in North America, is a single-layer disc produced for the film's 25th anniversary in 1998. (The revised version was released on a dual-layer disc in 2000.)
But an even bigger potential problem lurks in the shadows here. What if the Blu-Ray contains not the second version of the film that was released in 2000, but some brand-new third version? What if it really is a version that we've never seen? There would certainly be a precedent for this: director William Friedkin caused a huge controversy earlier this year when he produced a rather ugly-looking version of The French Connection (1971) for Blu-Ray, and there's no reason to assume he wouldn't do the same thing to this film. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Does anyone know why Blu-Ray movies keep being released like this? This is not an isolated incident. I bought Payback with Mel Gibson and it was a completely different version than the one on DVD and the DVD was definitely the better version! Hopefully they won't do this with the classics like Braveheart, Gladiator, etc. Just release the version on Blu-Ray we all love!

Behemoth. A name that carries a lot of weight, and a lot of stigma in metal circles. Considered the fathers of the Polish death/black/extreme metal scene, Behemoth has been both the center of celebration and consternation for over two decades. Cited on a 2007 list by Polish officials of artists who allegedly promote murder and Satanism, Behemoth is no stranger to controversy.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Violence In Film
Harvey Weinstein wants to distance himself from the über violence he's been producing, and Schilling for the last decade plus. As a Hunger Games themed blog I have to put my two cents in about this, because while Harvey has been producing, and promoting some of the most violent, and the most highly praised films of the last several years– he's also totes BFFs with Jennifer Lawrence, AKA our Katniss Everdeen the Heroin of one of the most violently themed series' to come out in eons.
Weinstein did not produce nor does he have a hand in any of the future Hunger Games films, but since he's pretty much the Dogs Tuxedo in Hollywoodland, and has spent time braiding Jen's hair, and talking about boys over pizza, and in their jammies– I'd say his new stance may have after effects on the way Mockingjay is received. Or, okay… probably not at all. The way I see it is this, The Hunger Games series, either in book form, or film form in comparison to the extremely violent fare that's been pummeled on our heads for the last few years, it's um– kind of tame. Okay, the films so far are anyway, but the books, especially Mockingjay are full on bang, bang, shoot 'em up, blow 'em up– good damn times. For instance pretty much everything that takes place outside of District 13, minus Peeta losing it and showing his brand new shiny shiny colors, is non-violent where it comes to the confrontational kind– i.e in your face. But then there's basically a free for all where it comes to vomit inducing violence, so vomit inducing in fact that Katniss herself can't hold in her cookies and throws up all over her bodyguard, who later in the story gets his legs blown off in a blaze of bloody glory— outside of District 13.
I'm frankly a bit confused by Weinstein's brand new stance, especially since he's made his bread and butter, and more butter off of some of the most violent films to date. Including Django Unchained and Inglorious Bastards, which you don't even have to open your eyes to see the violence, the sound affects alone tell you some pretty horrible shit is going down. Which brings me back to Mockingjay, there's not a lot that they're going to be able to get away with where it comes to violence, especially since it will absolutely be rated PG-13 here in the USA. I even know for a fact that with Catching Fire some of the more extensively violent scenes, i.e. the Bloodbath in the arena were shot, but ended up being cut either to appease the ratings boards, or for time. Here's the question though– do we want the films to be as violent as they could be, do we want them to be Django level gruesome– are we desensitized enough like the Capitol citizens we're repeatedly told we're on the way to becoming, to take in Jena Malone being water boarded, or seeing a man in his prime getting his legs blown off, or seeing Sam Claflin ripped to shreds by a pack of genetically engineered monsters?
I have no bloody clue, but Weinstein's new POV isn't going to change much for me.
Them There Eyes
Hunger Games Actor Memorabilia-Rama!
News flash: Josh Hutcherson now exists in bobblehead form!
Yep. The Cincinnati Cyclones, a minor league NHL affiliate team, held Josh Hutcherson bobblehead night on the January 17th. Josh even came to the event to celebrate! The bobblehead itself doesn't look much like him, other than THE JAW and an impressive head of hair (and does the figure have a 5 o'clock shadow?!), but dammit.. IT WORKS. More than most Catching Fire merch, even! Because there is always a market for ridiculously kitsch merchandise!
In that spirit, let's think up some other ways to memorialize our favorite stars in not really collectible merchandise that could only be found in minor league sports arenas!
Jennifer Lawrence Thunder Sticks – Seemingly innocent things that cheer up a lackluster crowd but can sometimes be a bit disarming? Totally J-Law!
Liam Hemsworth Foam Boogie Boards – Liam is a surfer, but real surfboards are expensive! Instead let's slap his face on a little foam boogie board and let fans brave the waves with those!
Woody Harrelson Hemp Bracelets – Because once you've posed on the cover of hemp magazine, we've got to spread the good word in your honor!
Sam Claflin Frisbees - Seeing as he's always working to stay "Finnick fit", fans see Sam as the athletic type. There's no real athletics in the stands of a sports game, but how about Sam's face on a frisbee? Because eventually you'll see it as a call to exercise. Right? …Right?!
Elizabeth Banks T-Shirts - Straight from the t-shirt cannon! Each includes a zany cartoon rendering of Elizabeth looking totally sweet while saying something slightly inappropriate.
Jena Malone ViewMaster Toy - Jena is a photography enthusiast but again, we're on a budget! So let's mass produce 90s childrens toys with slides of her photos! Not weird at all! *cough*
We know you're disappointed that you can't actually get these things at the next sporting event you attend. But at this rate… who knows? Maybe you can soon enough!
Bobbleheads Look Classy By Comparison,

REACTION POST! The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Now that we've all reveled in THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE several times, it's time for Victor's Village's infamous reaction post!
For those of you who aren't familiar with our reaction posts, our three admins in a chat get together and say anything and everything we feel about the topic at hand… and it gets pretty damn hilarious, if we do say so ourselves!
This post is also long, mostly hidden under the READ MORE cut, and contains ALL THE SPOILERS. Beware!
The Girl With The Pearl: Since we made our readers answer this: Give an overall review in FIVE WORDS or less!
Them There Eyes: Not the Hunger Games, bitches. Sorry, was channeling Spike from Buffy.
Twiffidy: Oh no this is hard.
TGWTP: Mine is turning out to just be "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!" That could be taken several different ways.
Twiffidy: Spectacular with all the feels.
TGWTP: And said feelings start with some MAJOR character development? Whose was your favorite?
Them There Eyes: I think everyone got an ample amount of character development, even Buttercup. But, I think I'm going to have to go with Effie!
Twiffidy: Effie for sure. I mean, they did finally say her name!
TGWTP: Buttercup was so very… orange! T'was lovely.
TGWTP: I agree Effie takes the cake. We finally get to see the pure Capitol in her that was downplayed before AND a more sensitive side!
Twiffidy: When it comes to Effie, I was relieved to see her humanized.
Them There Eyes: Effie crying was like watching an alien have a baby, and then you cry… because it had a baby.
TGWTP: Somehow, that description works. LOL
Them There Eyes: Okay, now we have to talk about how the joke could finally be made! "Go home Haymitch, you're drunk."
TGWTP: YES. He was ACTUALLY DRUNK.
Them There Eyes: Really drunk! I've never been so glad to see a man drunk before in my life!
Twiffidy: That entire scene like a slice out of my imagination when I read the books
Them There Eyes: I know! Right down to the bread, and the "burrrr!"
Twiffidy: He was the right amount of drunk from how the books describes without being too comical.
TGWTP: For sure! It's a hard line to walk, but Woody knows what he's doing.
Them There Eyes: Still made me wish for Drunk!Haymitch from THG, falling off the stage at the Reaping. I hope non book fans aren't too surprised by his sudden change from social drinker to rubbing alcohol pilferer.
TGWTP: And you know what? Peeta was manned up! And it wasn't some massive dissolution of his character like people made it out to be. Quelle surprise!
Them There Eyes: I know, just seemed like a boy grew up after he saw some pretty horrible things, and… also had his heart broken.
Twiffidy: Yes, it's understated but that's how it appeared to me. I'm a big fan of Peeta's journey through this movie.
Them There Eyes: I loved Peeta, I had Peeta feels for days after seeing it… also sleep deprivation. People change, Peeta's one of those people.
TGWTP: Peeta Mellark is the ninja-silent emo badass of Panem, though for good reason.
Twiffidy: It's important to realize that this is the Peeta that Katniss will miss in Mockingjay.
Them There Eyes: My body is.
Twiffidy: I almost involuntarily squeak out "No!" at that final look at Peeta as Katniss leaves with the wire. Every. Time.
TGWTP: I understand. It's "Don't do it, idiot! I know what happens and you don't want that shit!"
Twiffidy: I'VE SEEN YOUR FUTURE AND IT IS BLEAK.
A Weekend at Catching Fire Fan Camp
In order to score spots in the prestigious fan camp area of the Hunger Games: Catching Fire red carpet, I, along with the rest of the staff of Welcome to District 12, stayed two nights on Chick Hearn Ct. outside of the Nokia Theatre in LA Live.
Saturday started at 5:30AM, leaving early to make it to our 8:30 check in time with all of our stuff.
Our fansite friends, including fellow Victor's Village staff members The Girl With The Pearl and Them There Eyes, arrived soon.
Good thing too since Willow Shields and Stephanie Leigh Schlund came to sign posters for fans.
There was also that Kindle Fire booth from the mall tour where we could take our pictures with Katniss.
After grabbing dinner, everyone took their camping chairs and blankets from the camping area to the square to watch the first Hunger Games movie. It was a pretty cool way to watch this movie we've seen so many times, considering it was a Saturday night and they were playing the movie in the midst of people heading to clubs and fancy restaurants.
The next day proved to be a big one, with even more Catching Fire people coming to sign posters for fans. We got to meet Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Jeffrey Wright, Josh Hutcherson, and Francis Lawrence, who are all awesome.
Throughout the day, the KIIS FM booth ran contests and giveaways, even a scavenger hunt that cause a kid to run up to us frantically asking for a belt (we thought at first he was trying to sell us one). The day ended with a dinner with the fansite runners that was delicious and fun.
At 5 AM the next day, we were all woken up by security to pack up and vacate at 6AM so they could set up completely for the red carpet later that day. Overall, the weekend was a lot of fun, and I would definitely camp again. It was great to be with the fans and to bond with others excited about The Hunger Games.
And So The Interviews Have Begun
Ah, finally. Cast interviews and press tour goings-on have started trickling onto the Internet, and it's been worth the wait. Already, we have some fairly hilarious videos. Not that I'm complaining, but when did junket interviews start including playing games? Here are a couple revelations from what we've seen so far.
1) Jena Malone and Sam Claflin are the other Dream Team.
We got our first taste of this during the Fansite Roundtable interview with the two of them, but that's not just a one time thing. They seem to have fun during their interviews together and can play off each other well. It kind of makes you expect to see that off-screen chemistry to translate to an interesting dynamic on-screen. And we know that if Jennifer and Josh are understandably busy, they can at least send Sam and Jena to keep us entertained in their stead.
2) Interview games tend to include white boards and vague rules.
Here, write your answer on this white board! Why? I don't know, just do it.
What's the point of having teams if everyone is just showing their answer? It doesn't matter, just go with it, it's fun.
3. Francis Lawrence likes to talk a lot.
And thank heaven for that! For me, I like going into movies knowing very little, but Hunger Games fans are big worriers. Just hearing Francis Lawrence acknowledge some of our favorite, small moments from the book and indicating that those little things are in the movie gives me great hope, without completely ruining it. Describing Peeta's touching speech in District 11 gave me a lot of feelings, and it's nice to hear finally speak about Sam and Jena make the perfect Finnick and Johanna.
Is he a pirate? Is he flirting with Josh Horowitz? Either way, it's great to hear from him.
4. And here's the biggest revelation of all… The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is just around the corner! With interviews coming out, that's the sure sign that we are almost there! Can you taste it?
Reduced to watching videos on my phone during breaks at work while coworkers look at me funny
Fansite Exclusive: Sam Claflin and Jena Malone Talk Catching Fire
Yesterday morning, Victor's Village and a whole bunch of fansite friends got the chance to interview Sam Claflin and Jena Malone via phone!
If you've ever questioned these two in their roles, we can officially tell you not to worry about it. Sam Claflin is beyond charming. He talked about the love of his life so much that our hearts melted. Srsly quise, it was adorbs. And it was so very Finnick Odair! Jena Malone is small and cute, but there's also a fierce passion in her that lets us know she'll bring out the best (and by "best", we may mean "worst") parts of Johanna Mason.
They were unbelievably sweet, especially considering that they were probably woken up at the crack of dawn to get ready for the Philadelphia stop of the Victory Tour and 7 out of 10 sites asked them how they were because it's habit and it's the polite thing to do, okay?! The interview itself ran a little long, so each site only had a chance for one question. But in the post-interview downtime, Sam and Jena sang "Happy Birthday" to Samantha from Panem Propaganda, because her birthday was Saturday and hey, they could. Yeah, we're kinda TOTALLY smitten.
So now that they gushing is done, on to the interview! Please note that a large portion of the interview is under the READ MORE link!
#1 Mockingjay.net
Sam, fans have followed the casting with a lot of attention to detail, and Annie Cresta was not cast until you guys had wrapped Catching Fire, so without an actress in that role, did you find it difficult to draw from Finnick's relationship with her in the Catching Fire arena and if so how did you overcome that?
Sam: I definitely see where you are coming from. No, but I don't feel like without a picture in my head, as an actor I necesarily needed that to draw from, if you know what I mean. Obviously from personal experience, I am married and there for my wife was my kind of experience that I could draw from. You know, the love of my life and all that. So I didn't necessarily need an actress or an image of a person to emotionally inform me, if that makes sense. Definitely I am very excited to get started with Steph Dawson, who is playing Annie Cresta. Finnick spends so much time in the arena, away from her, focusing on mainly protecting Katniss. I don't feel that it affected my performance necessarily during Catching Fire.
#2 HG Movie Site
When you become part of the cast for a franchise as big as the Hunger Games, with such a big fanbase is there a pressure to please a lot of people or do you find that it's easier when there is already millions of people that love it?
Jena: Well it's kind of a give and take. I think luckily Sam and I – Sam if I could just speak for you – we were both such fans of the series anyway, that coming in with such love and appreciation for the project, such passion for a project it only propels you forward knowing that there is 100,000 people out there that has the same love and passion. Of course it's a little terrifying in the morning when you want to make sure that you are getting it right. But fortunately books are two dimensional beings and films are a three dimensional format. We were building things in a whole new way. So there is no way to get it like the book in every way, because books are two dimensional. We are building blood and love and sweat. We're breathing life into these characters and so I think that they are always going to be better than the books ever imagined them.
#3 Hunger Games Fireside Chat
Over the course of filming, you've obviously gotten to spend a lot of time with other members of the cast. Who did you really enjoy hanging out with off set, and are there any close bonds you formed that you think will go beyond the films many years into the future?
Jena: The entire cast is so rad, it's hard to pick one person. We've become such a tight-knit family. I kind of fangirled out over Philip Seymour Hoffman, just a little bit. I mean, he's been one of my favorites, I don't know.
Sam: Yeah, we all sort of ended up socializing off set as much as we did on set, and there was a lot of fun to be had. And that all kind of spans back to the fact that Francis was very open to ideas and it made it much more of a collaborative family experience, if that makes sense. There was a lot of misbehaving and mischief caused, but, you know, in a very fun way, and we were all able to kind of focus on the job at hand when we needed to. But yeah, I don't think there was one person I disliked, and if I did, I'd be sure to tell you! (laughter) Actually, I'm not a big fan of Jena, Jena Malone.
Jena: …Jina Mahone or something? She's a crazer.
Sam: But we all got along like a house on fire. You can't help but really admire an experience like that really.

Johanna Mason's (Possibly Naked) Truth
Okay… this may sound weird but… We need to know if we're going to see Jena Malone naked in November. Okay, not actually naked, but in an on-screen situation that seriously implies nudity. It's driving us crazy!
When District 7's Johanna Mason introduces herself to the readers in Catching Fire, she sets the tone stripping down in the middle of the elevator to psych out the ever uptight Katniss. It's there for a little shock value, but it shows that she's not intimidated by the other Victors and she's probably got a better handle on the Capitol lifestyle to boot. It's also a great moment of differentiation between Katniss, who is mortified, and Peeta, who laughs at the situation because he's adapted a little better and doesn't let Johanna ruffle his feathers.
And we have no idea whether or not it's going to happen. We think so. We're pretty sure. Kinda.
It's not that Jena Malone hasn't been asked about it. She was asked. A lot. But she gave basically the same answer every time. Something along the lines of "What's great about this film is that Francis Lawrence worked really closely with Suzanne Collins, so we're very true to the book and the core of the story."
This could be Jena saying two things: "Yup, I'm totes naked" or "My character does a helluva lot more than get naked in the books, so stop being getting so damn obsessed with that one scene." Maybe both! Truthfully, we just can't be sure. And maybe we shouldn't care, but the moment actually has some interesting context, not just bare skin.
Also, it would be a glorious "fuck you" to that parent review site who cited a quick shot of Jennifer Lawrence's bare leg from the knee down in The Hunger Games' speed bathing scene as "some inappropriate nudity" back when the first film came out. We'll show you real inappropriate nudity!
And why not say one way or the other? Were the actors, particularly Jena, told to keep mum on the scene? Or did she decide it would more fun for the fans to guess? Either way, good move. We're intrigued. NOW TELL USSSSSSS!
Let's Face It. Johanna Will Look Hot Either Way,
The Girl With The Pearl

The Sheriffs Are Coming, Series 1 Episode 3 of 10
Duration: 45 minutes
A builder asked an 86-year-old pensioner to fork out £4,000 for some work on her roof. And he left it in a worse state than when he started. The sheriffs pay the builder an early morning visit to try to get her money back - but things get rather heated.
The sheriffs try to track down a landlord who did not pay his student tenants their deposits when they left. But he proves hard to find. And an office manager was unfairly dismissed. She was awarded compensation, but her ex-bosses did not pay up. Can the sheriffs help?

For mere mortals, the annual Maxim Hot 100 gives us the chance to simply gaze at the most jaw-droppingly beautiful women on the planet. For the rich and famous, however, the Hot 100 serves as the yearly dating catalog. Upon hearing the news of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's secret wedding this morning, we realized that we've unintentionally been providing a service for those who least need it: As if Ryan Reynolds and his sculpted abs didn't have enough to feel smug about, after dating early 2000s Hot 100 staple Rachael Leigh Cook, he later married (and divorced) veteran hottie Scarlett Johansson before moving on to 2012's #13, Blake Lively (just like Ryan, we're going to pretend Alanis Morissette was just a grunge phase).

Anyways, Ryan, we hope the second time's a charm because there are plenty of other guys who need love, too - and we aren't talking about #69. We're guessing Leo is going to burn through the options in his Victoria Secret mail-order catalogue any day now.
