Only the most devoted aficionados of Brazilian author Paulo Coelho will find much to hold their interest in "Paulo Coelho's Best Story," a dramatically flat and tediously disjointed drama that comes across as a standard-issue, cliche-littered, struggling-writer-finds-fulfillment biopic that has been cut-and-pasted into borderline incoherence. Anyone unfamiliar with Coelho — reputed to be the only living author more translated than Shakespeare — and his most influential novels ("The Alchemist," "The Pilgrimage") likely will walk out or switch off before the midway point, if they bother to buy a ticket or rent a video in the first place.
Director Daniel Augusto and scripter Carolina Kotscho have deconstructed their narrative into a plethora of chronologically scrambled bits and pieces while following their subject's life and career from the 1960s — when the insolent young Paulo's rebellious behavior drives his parents to having him committed to an institution for electroshock therapy — to 2013, as »

HBO and David Fincher seemed like they had put together a strong partnership. The network had picked up his dramas Utopia (with Gone Girl scribe Gillian Flynn) and the 1950s L.A. noir Shakedown (with L.A. Confidential author James Ellroy) along with the half-hour comedy series Videosyncrazy (formerly known as "Living on Video"), which took place in the burgeoning music video industry of the 1980s. Videosyncrazy revolves around Robby (Charlie Rowe), a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed college dropout who drives to Hollywood to become a big-league director and lands his first job as a production assistant at a company that produces music videos. The show also stars Jason Flemyng, Kerry Condon, Elizabeth Lail, Corbin Bernsen, Paz Vega, and Sam Page. THR adds that the show is supposed to be along the lines of Entourage and follows "directors, record executives and crew members, many of them who dabble in drugs."

Perhaps the title changes — "Living In Video," "Video Synchronicity," and now "Videosyncrazy" — were a clue that not everything has been running smoothly on David Fincher's music video comedy series. Last month it was announced that HBO had ordered the show to series, and production started, but now about midway through, it looks like there's a troubled future for the show which may mean it will never make it to air. The show stars Charlie Rowe, Sam Page, Jason Flemyng, Kerry Condon, Elizabeth Lail, Corbin Bernsen and Paz Vega, with the 1983-set half-hour comedy following a college dropout who dreams of making a sci-fi epic but winds up shooting music videos instead. Fincher has been directing multiple episodes of the show, and production was on the fourth or fifth episode (damn, he works fast), but when HBO saw some of the completed work, the decision was made to press pause. »

Academy Award nominated filmmaker David Fincher is renowned for many things – tense drama, intriguing plot twists, and even the odd Grammy-winning music video – but comedy has, so far, not been one of his signature moves. This is about to change, however, as HBO have handed a series order to Fincher, for his 1980s-set music video comedy series – currently known as Video Synchronicity.
The half hour show is led by Robby – a young, naïve, good-natured college drop-out, who decides to relocate to Hollywood and achieve his dream of shooting an epic science fiction movie. When the situation proves itself to be somewhat more challenging than he had previously assumed, he gets himself a job at a company that produces music videos. His position as production assistant causes him to cross paths with many different characters – from directors to on-screen talent, and from the lowliest crew member to the highest paid executive »

In the wake of the pirated leak of an advanced DVD screener of the first four episodes of HBO's "Game of Thrones" this season, the cable network has announced a change to its policy.
HBO has confirmed that it is shifting to a streaming-only policy for advance reviews of its programming, ending years of mailed out DVDs to critics and journalists. The shift takes affect as of Tuesday with the next batch of "Veep" episodes to be made available through HBO's secure streaming site. [Source: Variety]

HBO has reportedly issued a series order for filmmaker David Fincher's new TV series Video Synchronicity, although the network declined to comment. While currently serves as an executive producer on Netflix's House of Cards, Video Synchronicity will mark the first series that he has co-created. The filmmaker is also set to direct the pilot episode and serve as an executive producer and showrunner.
The series is set in 1983, centering on a young artist named Robby (Charlie Rowe), who drops out of college and moves to Hollywood to pursue his dream to become a filmmaker and sell a massive sci-fi epic. He ends up landing a job as a production assistant at a company that makes music videos. Charlie Rowe replaced Tyler Ross as the lead in the comedy, which has already shot the first two episodes, instead of just the traditional pilot.
The supporting cast is said to include Sam Page, »

A number of top-tier filmmakers found their start in the business by helming music videos during the music-video boom of the 1980s and 1990s, but none of them have proved as consistently revelatory as David Fincher. With the hugely arguable exception of Alien 3, the man has only directed masterpieces and near-masterpieces, and House of Cards, his first stab at television, has proven hypnotically stylish, narratively inventive, and deeply funny through three seasons now. Now, Fincher is getting ready to move into comedy with a series based on his own experiences during the early days of the music-video boom in the 1980s, and HBO just announced that they have put a series order in for Fincher's television project, which has the working title of Video Synchronicity.

Nicole Kidman's "Grace of Monaco" will skip Us theaters and land directly at Lifetime. The Grace Kelly biopic opened the Cannes Film Festival last spring to none-too-positive reviews. It will debut on the cable network one year after its splashy French premiere over the Memorial Day weekend on May 25. Set in 1962, "Grace of Monaco" takes place six years after Kelly and Monaco's Prince Rainier III tied the knot in the "wedding of the century." The drama focuses on the actress's desire to return to work against the wishes of the royal family. Parker Posey and Paz Vega co-star. Once considered an awards vehicle for Kidman, "Grace of Monaco" will now join Lifetime's roster of movies about female performers like Whitney Houston, Aaliyah, and Brittany Murphy whose careers were cut too short.

Nearly one year after its opening night slot in Cannes, it emerged that the biopic starring Nicole Kidman will not get a Us theatrical release.
Critics mostly dubbed Grace Of Monaco a flop when it premiered on the Croisette and the tale will now get its first public showing on Lifetime on May 25.
The Weinsteins originally held Us rights and there followed a long-running spat with director Olivier Dahan over cuts. Arash Amel wrote the screenplay.
The film was set for release in November 2013 and was subsequently pushed back to spring 2014.
Tim Roth, Parker Posey, Paz Vega and Frank Langella also star.

Lamb and Lion Inn, Tom Dott, Associated Press
If you travel with your dog and prefer small inns and B&Bs over chain hotels, it can be frustrating that so few allow pets. If you listen to some innkeepers' stories, though, you may wonder why any of them do.
At Les Artistes Inn in Del Mar, Calif., for example, a pair of Weimaraners crashed through a window when they saw another dog walk past. "The owners had said, 'Don't worry, they'll be fine,'" said owner John Halper. "The 'fine' part was incorrect."
Halper only allows pets in some rooms, but one couple checked into his best no-pets, ocean-view room with a crate "carrying this cat that has a head bigger than my own," he said. They told him it was "a real live hybrid bobcat."
While most stays don't involves horror stories like these, understanding the rules — and the reasons behind them — can make your vacation more pleasant for you, your pet and the staff.
The policy with the biggest impact on your stay is whether your dog can be left in the room alone. Innkeepers need to balance your desire to go out for dinner with the potential for property damage and the comfort of other guests.
"You wouldn't want to be in a room that had a barking dog in it all afternoon when you're trying to take a nap," says Tom Dott of the Lamb and Lion Inn on Massachusett's Cape Cod.
Inez Conover remembers guests who left their dog alone at her inn, Bewitched and Bedazzled, in Rehoboth Beach, Del. The dog barked and scratched for nine hours, and the owners never answered their cell. She told them about the problem when they returned, but the next day, she heard a "terrible dragging-back-and-forth noise" in the room. She found the dog tied to the bed, which he'd dragged all over, "tearing up the hardwood floor," and breaking the bed away from the headboard.
Conover is the rare innkeeper who allows dogs to be left alone, because she is willing to make a special effort to keep them out of trouble. If a dog makes noise, she'll bring it to her office, where she has calming supplies ranging from herbal supplements to chew toys. She also recently put Plexiglas on door bottoms to protect them from scratch marks.
But don't expect an innkeeper to make an exception to a no-dogs-left-alone policy because your dog is fine at home all day while you go to work. Its behavior in a new place may not be the same. Dogs "have to acclimate first," said Dott. "They get scared if left in a strange place by themselves."
To test how a dog will react to a hotel room, leave the dog for a short time while you "hang out by the pool, have breakfast," Dott said. "In that hour, if your dog's quiet, I'm sold."
A crate-trained dog is a better candidate for being left alone. But the crate needs to be something you use regularly at home, not something you've bought for the trip. "I've had dogs kenneled that were throwing themselves against the kennels and moving the kennels across the floor," said Conover.
No matter your dog's training and behavior, don't expect exceptions everywhere. Laila Kollmann says the no-dogs-alone rule at Cayucos Shoreline Inn in Cayucos, Calif., is hard and fast. "We don't even allow them alone in the room with a crate, even if we personally know them," she says. "It's unfair to see a dog allowed in one room and not the other." Even regular guests who bring a rabbit that they walk around on a leash aren't allowed to leave it in a cage in their room.
Innkeepers with a no-pets-alone rule can often direct you to local doggie day care, or pet-sitters who will come to your room.
The dog-friendliness of the destination is worth considering when planning trips.

The northwestern Tennessee county of Jackson experienced a severe storm on Tuesday, July 8, with strong winds, heavy rain and hail. The storm began in the early evening and adverse conditions were expected to continue through the night to Wednesday July 9, with a risk of flash flooding.

The Dutch Safety Board released its findings on October 13 on the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 on July 17, 2014, saying the crash was caused by "the detonation of a 9N314M-type warhead launched from the eastern part of Ukraine using a BUK missile system."A link to the full report can be found here.

Police and protesters clashed in the Kosovan capital of Pristina on the evening of Monday, October 12, as hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets to protest the arrest of an opposition lawmaker who wants to scrap a political deal with Serbia, reported Reuters. Tear gas was deployed as protesters hurled stones at law-enforcement officers.Albin Kurti, an MP who is pushing to overturn a 2013 deal that would transfer more local powers to ethnic Serbs, was arrested on Monday and released later that day.

Almaz-Antey, the Russian arms manufacturer responsible for the construction of the BUK launcher system blamed for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, released a new report on October 13 which cast suspicion on Ukrainian forces for downing the aircraft. The Almaz-Antey report was released shortly before a Dutch Safety Board report which concluded that MH17 was hit by a BUK missile, but which did not say from where the missile was fired."Today we can say for sure that if the Boeing was downed with a BUK missile, then it was with a 9M38 from the populated area of Zaroschenskoye," said Mikhail Malyshevsky, adviser to the head engineer of Almaz-Antey, according to Sputnik International. Russian-backed separatists have been widely blamed for the incident, with the amateur investigation site Bellingcat being widely cited for its investigation into the incident and its conclusion that Russian-backed separatists were to blame. Almaz-Antey's conclusions were based on a experiment, seen in the video here, in which they fired a BUK missile at a decommissioned aircraft. Credit: YouTube/Almaz-Antey
Israel Police reported an attack on a bus in the Armon Hanatziv area of East Jerusalem on October 13. Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency service, said that it was treating four people for gunshot wounds, one of whom was seriously injured. Two attackers, one armed with a gun and one with a knife, were involved in the incident, police said. One of the attackers was killed and a second arrested. Credit: Facebook/Magen David Adom

Russia may try Lugovoi if London proves his guilt
Russia says it might launch a criminal case against Andrei Lugovoi, whose extradition Britain is seeking on charges of murdering emigre Alexander Litvinenko, if London provides enough proof of his guilt.
"If we are convinced - just like them [Britain] - that this is a serious case, then we have a wealth of precedents when we would launch a criminal case of our own, hold court hearings and read out the verdict," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
Mr Lavrov, making a stopover in China after a regional conference in the Philippines, said: "If the British side has the proof which convinced them 100 per cent of Lugovoi's guilt, then we are ready to receive and study it."
Britain and Russia have each expelled four diplomats in a spat over the murder of Mr Litvinenko, a former Russian security services agent who had become a British citizen.
Britain has demanded Moscow extradite Mr Lugovoi, an ex-KGB bodyguard turned businessman, so that he can be put on trial in London for Mr Litvinenko's murder.
Russia has refused to do so, citing its constitution, which forbids the extradition of Russian citizens.
Moscow's chilly relations with the British government have been exacerbated by Britain's hosting of anti-Kremlin emigres wanted by Russia.
They include London-based tycoon Boris Berezovsky, who has accused Mr Putin of being behind Mr Litvinenko's murder.
The Kremlin has called these allegations nonsense.
Britain has refused to extradite Berezovsky to Moscow.
Asked whether Russia could, theoretically, exchange Mr Lugovoi for Mr Berezovsky, Mr Lavrov replied: "Why on earth? As for Berezovsky, we sent to London all the materials which legally are in line with all extradition requirements."
"As for Lugovoi, we haven't seen such materials."

Sensitivity and specificity of monoclonal and polyclonal immunohistochemical staining for West Nile virus in various organs from American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos)
1 Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health and Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation, MI, USA
2 Center for Comparative Epidemiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA
3 Molecular Biology Section, Michigan Department of Community Health, Lansing, MI, USA
BMC Infectious Diseases 2007, 7:49 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-7-49Published: 30 May 2007
Based on results of earlier studies, brain, heart and kidney are most commonly used for West Nile virus (WNV) detection in avian species. Both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies have been used for the immunohistochemical diagnosis of WNV in these species. Thus far, no studies have been performed to compare the sensitivity and specificity of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies in detecting WNV in American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos). Our objectives were to determine 1) the comparative sensitivities of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for immunohistochemical (IHC) diagnosis of WNV infection in free-ranging American crows, 2) which organ(s) is/are most suitable for IHC-based diagnosis of WNV, and 3) how real-time RT-PCR on RNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues compared to IHC for the diagnosis of WNV infection.
Various combinations, depending on tissue availability, of sections of heart, kidney, brain, liver, lung, spleen, and small intestine from 85 free-ranging American crows were stained using a rabbit-polyclonal anti-WNV antibody as well as a monoclonal antibody directed against an epitope on Domain III of the E protein of WNV. The staining intensity and the extent of staining were determined for each organ using both antibodies. Real-time RT-PCR on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from all 85 crows was performed.
Forty-three crows were IHC-positive in at least one of the examined organs with the polyclonal antibody, and of these, only 31 were positive when IHC was performed with the monoclonal antibody. Real-time RT-PCR amplified WNV-specific sequences from tissue extracts of the same 43 crows that were IHC-positive using the polyclonal antibody. All other 42 crows tested negative for WNV with real-time PCR and IHC staining. Both antibodies had a test specificity of 100% when compared to PCR results. The test sensitivity of monoclonal antibody-based IHC staining was only 72%, compared to 100% when using the polyclonal antibody.
The most sensitive, readily identified, positively staining organs for IHC are the kidney, liver, lung, spleen, and small intestine. Real-time RT-PCR and IHC staining using a polyclonal antibody on sections of these tissues are highly sensitive diagnostic tests for the detection of WNV in formalin-fixed tissues of American crows.

Blu-ray or Downloads for HD Audio Delivery?
[Feature] In a world dominated by disposable recorded music, delivered in many cases with only average sound quality, there is an emerging ray of hope for audiophiles. It is in fact a Blu-ray of hope, as the high-definition (HD) successor to the DVD in the video domain is also a capable carrier of multichannel audio in a variety of formats. Not only that, but with fast Internet speeds and higher-capacity "pipes" to the home, the promise of being able to download or stream high-quality surround music is rapidly being realized. So what is going on in the HD consumer audio market? We find a growing market for serious music delivered at high sampling rates and bit depths, along with a business model that enables niche recording companies to sell direct to the consumer, bypassing the middleman entirely. Of particular interest is the evidence that when there is a high-resolution version of an album available, perhaps costing more than the standard version, it can outsell the standard version by a considerable margin.

Weird food here, you can tell it's not run by asians. They don't give an extra bowl of rice to go with what you ordered. the Udon and sauces on rolls taste weird. Overpriced for funky food.
I'd rather walk across the bridge to Malia but the burgers here are not bad. Fries are great.
the live opera singers were the best part of the dinner! The food itself was a bit weird with the seasoning, either too salty or.too bland.
Courtney is the best waiter here!!! :)
Best gas station coffee ever! Yes please :-)

What is echolocation? Explaining how toothed whales 'see' the world.
One stopwatch
One ball, preferably a basketball or kickball
One wall, preferably brick
Up to 25 feet of room
Explain to your students that toothed whales, such as the sperm whale, use echolocation to locate their prey or other objects in the water. The whales can determine the size and shape of an object as well as how far away it is by the 'echo' that returns to them after they emit a sound.
Throw a ball at a wall with equal force from the following distances:
5 feet
10 feet
15 feet
20 feet
25 feet
Have a student record how long it takes the ball to return to the thrower from each distance.
Which throw bounced back in the least number of seconds?
Which throw bounced back after the greatest number of seconds?
What happens as you move away from the wall? What happens when you move closer to the wall?
Explain how this might relate to echolocation. Using echolocation, how do you think a whale can determine how far away an object is?

Editor's Note
Look on the bright side: Thanks to HealthCare.gov, IT procurement, enterprise architecture and project management are the talk of the town.
Granted, the conversations are uncomfortable for the agencies and contractors involved in building the site, but as the crisis coverage subsides, a real opportunity exists to use this attention to actually improve the system.
I won't presume to prescribe those improvements. The story is still unfolding, and there are (many!) others with deeper expertise and experience to craft the answers. But these questions should be part of that conversation:
1. Who should be the integrator?
The fact that no contractor was the clear lead for HealthCare.gov has been flagged as a critical mistake. It's not clear the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services actively chose to play the role of systems integrator, but this was the result in practice. Is that ever a good idea for complex IT systems? And if so, where is the line that agencies dare not cross?
2. Can agile help everywhere?
Advocates of agile development argue that rapid iteration improves the odds of success and that opposition within agencies is largely cultural. But when a project's key parameters have been legislated — or when politics make a pilot program impractical — can agile make a measurable difference?
3. Are the best vendors bidding?
Open-source proponents and experiments like RFP-EZ suggest that agencies can get more value by working with firms that have been scared off by FedBizOpps. When do federal procurement requirements demand experienced contractors, and when do they merely drive up the costs?
4. Do agencies have the right people?
Do procurement officers know how to write a statement of work — and outcomes — for complex systems? Are project managers talented enough to ensure that a lowest price technically acceptable contract truly stays technically acceptable? And can agencies develop straight-up IT talent to build systems in house and steer projects that will be contracted out?
5. Can you trust enough to share?
HealthCare.gov relied on real-time queries of multiple agency databases and put signups at the mercy of a slow response from any one of them. How can agencies embrace APIs and shared services while still taking risk management seriously?

Therein is the real change agent; culture. Until government realizes that the typical "waterfall" approach to technology acquisition and execution is doomed to fail, we will repeat healthcare.gov again, less the politics. We will continue to write junk requirements that make no sense, have no idea what outcomes should be, make dozens and dozens of amendments to RFPs, and finally award a contract after so much time that the requirements are out of date and meaningless. Now comes modification after modification because of LPTA...
"Big Bang " projects simply do not work, given its track record of poor success time and time again (SAM, FCS, Deepwater, Virtual Case File, etc.). Agile approaches through realistic measure of capability, and thus baselined requirements for each module or sprint, is the path to innovation and success.
The entire culture of federal IT is broken, and the root cause analysis needs to be conducted to understand that unless the paradigm is changed from "Big Business" to affordability, capability, and innovation, we will get nowhere. Keep wasting billions, and watching large contractors laugh all the way to the bank. Is anybody paying attention?
In assessing the applicability of agile, I think it's very important to include the agile approach to planning and requirements - choosing sprints and increments that are both of value and achievable. Three twenty-something San Francisco programmers clearly proved this in the healthcare.gov space by choosing one key piece of the problem - finding applicable plans. The developers of healthsherpa.com did this in only three days using openly available data. By focusing on real outcomes of value to people rather than trying to boil the ocean (realizing the size of this ocean has been continually changing), the healthcare.gov team could have delivered the system in a series of practical increments, each of which worked and provided tangible value, and which were able to be woven together at a later time.
You forgot to say "cloud" three times and pat Buddha's tummy.
The real question is, "When does the culture of fear and blame abate enough to loosen the system, to allow success without evading and ignoring the system?" Current government IT does not have the right people in government roles, because they have all departed in disgust. Now the world is run by contractors, directed by distrustful stuffed shirts who don't understand what the contractors are doing. Government stuffed shirts are dogged by the feeling that contractors are moving from contract to contract collecting huge fees, desperate to stay one step ahead of blame for imploding systems. They govies are correct, and the govies know it, because they're doing exactly the same thing.
It's a disgusting pad de deux allowed to continue because real leadership requires competence and accountability. The current (15 years...) dynamic from the politicals and congress demonizes accountability, and punishes any genuine leadership.

Mexico - Cancun
Day 1: October 7, 2014
Both of us were very excited about arriving in Mexico. It was going to be another change in culture; after being the last 6 months in Asia, and then a few weeks in the United States we were ready to embrace what Mexico had to offer.
We arrived at the Cancun International Airport at about 11.00. Everything …
Making it to Mexico
... hour wait but we needed all of this time to get through passport control, baggage reclaim, customs and then back through security. We did have a spare half hour to nip in to TGI Fridays for some much needed veggie fajitas before our connecting flight. The flight from Cancun was with Volaris, cost �92 and lasted 2.5 hours. These flights can be as little as �25 per person if you book in advance but we left it til the last minute - doh!
Turtles, sunsets and sheer bliss
... can do to read a book on a lounger the rest of the time!
We were very aware that this magical beachy existence would soon come to an end – only two weeks until the real world!! So we could really appreciate it and soak it up whilst we were there. There were times I barely recognised myself – a Mancunian so at home in the sea, a pasty Brit now super tanned and never getting sunburnt, loving every moment of it. We'll
definitely be going back ...
Cancun day 1
... say. Then he points to the hotels across the road and says 'very nice beach'. How do I get there? I ask him. He nods, 'very pretty'. I look across the road and it's all massive hotels. 'How can I get to the beach?' I ask. He looks at me puzzled 'Can I just walk there?' I used my hands to gesture the issue of the hotels, pointing them out. He nods again, 'yes yes, walk'. Ok then, I'll figure it out myself. I head into this big open mall and it's empty, not even ...
Day 100 - Back to Cancun
... hoping and preying for the weather to stay good but it wasn't looking that great. Once we got to the beach there were a fair few dark clouds, it was still hot and sunny but you would lose the sun behind the clouds every few minutes. I couldn't swim because of having a fresh tattoo, it would ruin the color in the salt water, but I did go out for a paddle a few times. Bobbie did her best to get the tan back in effect but the sun kept going behind clouds all the time. We stayed at the ...

I've got a somewhat complicated question for you cakephp experts.
Basically, I have created a db table called "locations". Every month I will get this table sent to me in csv format from a client. Unfortunately, instead of updating this table, I will have to empty it and reimport all of the records. Unfortunately, I cannot alter this table at all.
Functionality wise, users will have the ability to look at a display of these records, and be able to choose to hide certain ones. This "hidden" attribute must be persistent and survive the month to month purging of all records.
I had all of this working yesterday. What I did was, create a separate table called location_properties (columns were: id(int), location_id(foreign key), is_hidden(boolean)). When showing these records, it would simply check to see if "is_hidden==true".
This was all well and good(AND WORKING!), but then my boss kind of gummed up the works. He told me to delete the "is_hidden" column from the table because it would be more efficient. That I should be able to simply check for the existence of the location_id to hide or show it.
It doesn't appear to be quite that simple. Anyone know how I can pull this off? I've tried everything I can think of.

First time self saw this movie was in Mendocino. She downloaded it from Netflix. It was January.
Nah-ah. Chris Evans, bearded and in knit hat, scowling. Okaaay. Role didn't need to be played by Chris Evans. Anyone of sufficient height and bulk and scowl would have done quite nicely.
Little did she know that she'd be watching it again just nine months later, in far different circumstances. She still doesn't love it, but it is interesting.
Tilda Swinton is just so weird. She's weird-looking, and she is totally fearless. Self has seen her in The Deep End, in We Need To Talk About Kevin, in Constantine (playing the earthiest angel ever) and now in Snowpiercer, where she is downright repulsive, with big horsey teeth and spittle flying out of her mouth as she shrieks against the rebels. Granted, this character would not be everyone's cup of tea. But Tilda plays it with — wit? She actually pulls off a line that goes something like: "Because of those stubborn rebels, 74% of you will die."
Jamie Bell is in this movie. He is one fine actor. In the scene where an enemy holds a knife to his throat, and Chris Evans, his buddy, has to choose between saving Jamie or going after Tilda Swinton, once it becomes clear which way Chris Evans will go (and we all know there is only one way Chris Evans will go), the change in his features is remarkable.
If this were a normal science fiction thriller, Jamie Bell would have a look on his face something like, "Atta boy, Buddy! Go for the Kill! Don't bother with me! I'm ready to offer my life for the Cause!" But the look on his face once he realizes he's been given up, is actually — sad? So sad. Which is actually how self would look, if she knew she was going to die in the next few seconds.
Self also loves the bizarre classroom teacher played by Alison Pill.
In one scene, Chris Evans yells "Fire!" and we have no idea what that means. Then, a little boy starts running from the back of the train with a lighted torch, cheered on by a crowd of people. He hands off the torch to what appears to be a one-armed man. Self wasn't sure if this runner was really a one-armed man, so she kept following this figure as he raced through the murky depths of the cinematography. When she was finally convinced that the man running indeed had only one arm, the torch was passed on to a really handsome, buff dude who might have auditioned for Fifty Shades of Grey. What? What is the meaning of these three successive runners? The child, the one-armed man, and buff dude? Since self has seen 300, she is well-prepared for this last runner to die (It's called The Astinos Trope. There, she made something up. Just this very second). But, confounding all her low expectations, he actually makes it all the way to the end and manages to throw a knife and inflict the first wound on Tilda Swinton (Unfortunately, it hits her on the leg and is not fatal)
Also, there is the obligatory (ever since Saving Private Ryan) close and intimate fight scene, where two men arm-wrestle for a knife at close quarters, and the one whose side we are on loses. And the knife goes in very, very slowly. And it's so terrible.
Self is so glad she didn't see this movie in a theatre. She might have walked out. Like she did after 45 minutes of Far From the Madding Crowd. But since she's watching it on a TV screen, and she has access to her laptop, it is able to engage her attention.
And she's ended up writing a long post when all she wanted to do was toss something off.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mirbeau Inn & Spa Skaneateles
Great place, great ambiance
I went here last December to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We were going to visit the finger lake wineries in the area, and I thought that this place would be a nice splurge since we both like spa treatments. I found a great deal on the mirbeau website that featured a 2 night for 1 deal so I booked right away! The area is very rustic and I recommend an SUV if you drive up there. We went in the middle of winter, and it snowed like every 2 hours, then cleared, then snowed again. The place is beautiful, even covered in snow. Our room had a fireplace and the neatest bathroom, with a giant tub. The rooms are very large, and beds are extremely comfy. The restaurant there serves excellent food, although a bit pricey to eat there all the time. If you do go up there, try Joe's pasta garage in the town of skaneateles as they serve amazing pasta at reasonable prices. I would go back up there just for that restaurant. The wineries around the area are small but very nice. Some have free tastings, and we bought a lot of wine in the end. Great ice wines in the area! All in all, a beautiful place, no matter what season!
Expensive but wonderful....
This place is great for that once a year getaway. By the time you have spa treatments and dinner, it quickly adds up to a $500 night. It is really a beautiful Inn though, and well worth the occasional splurge!
A proffsional Chef is impressed
I made dinner reservations at the Mirabeau for dinner for 2 at 6:00 p.m. When we arrived the whole experience was fantastic. As a professional chef I am not easily impressed with food, it really takes a lot to wow me. I enjoy fine food and thought the food at the Mirabeau was one of the best meals I have had not only in Central New York, but in the 5 states I have lived and worked in (including Las Vagas and Louisville). I was expecting a great meal but this far exceeded our expections. The waitstaff was very tentative, and the F&B Director had a great presents in the room. Thank you for making this a memorable dinner and we will be back again
Need better customer service
I have travelled to many fine spas and was excited to have one nearby.
There were so many challenges with this experience that I wrote a letter to management wanting to help them with the customer service issues. It has been a month and I didn't receive a response, so I do question their ability to meet customer's needs. I would recommend Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid, NY over this place. The rooms were lovely and the facilities are nice, but if a customer leaves unhappy, it should be corrected!
Tokyo Prices in Upstate New York
Manicures are $75; pedicures $80. This isn't "pampering" so much as "overcharging." There is room service but not until 7:30 AM. The guest rooms are pretty and comfortable but not well lighted. We asked for a ltwo-hours-later checkout and was curtly told that there would be a charge. The gardens and the buildings are lovely but the service is mediocre and the spa offerings and the restaurant food are mind-bogglingly expensive.
You MUST go Mirbeau!!
I suprised my girlfriend by going to Mirbeau Inn & Spa hoping it would be great. It wasn't great............it was fantastic and memorable.
The food is out of this world and the spa treatments were amazing. Hats off to EVERYONE at Mirbeau. The rooms were decorated just right and the bathrooms were amazing. thank you.
If you love to be pampered...
I travel quite often with my job and it takes me all over the Northeast. I cannot express what a wonderful experiences I have had at Mirbeau. Not only is the spa one of the finest I have been to, but their restaurant if fabulous. When you stay at a resort or spa the one thing that can either make your stay a delight is the staff. Mirbeau's staff is worth the trip alone. I cannot express how much I look forward to going back to Mirbeau each and every time.
Memorable Evening
I searched for about 3 months for an evening to be pampered, and enjoy special cuisine. After extensive research I learned of this location and I am very glad that I did. There were a few stuffy guests, but they were completely invisible due to the attentive hosts. The food was absolutely fabulous and the wait staff was excellant. And the view of Monet's garden was a pleasure. Thank you for keeping our anniversary as special as it deserves to be.
Phone skills need to focus on the customer
Just wanted to try this place out , have been to many top notch spa's, but that does not mean I have alot of money to throw around. Work hard and when I spend money want a good value. I will send a review after we go. But while scheduling full day of services for my wife and I , felt rushed and thought since I was booking $ 900.00 worth of services for the day that I should have much better treatment. All I was trying to do was make sure our schedule was flawless so we had no disappointments and a great day. The person on the phone was rather short instead of aiding and helpful to make everything go smoothly.
Terrible customer service
I recently had to cancel a trip to upstate NY due to an illness. When I phoned the hotel, I tried to explain the dilemma I was in. I could understand having to forfeit part of the cost of the room, since it would probably go empty that night. Instead we were forced to pay far more, for services that we had not used, and which we were cancelling with more than 24 hrs notice. The staff were inflexible and arrogant, as if it were our fault that we were down with the flu. We were upset that we missed our trip, but the attitude and the difficulty in dealing with the staff turned an already bad situation worse.

Day 2 in the Finger Lakes
... entrance under the shade. Around noon we headed out to do some wine tasting around Seneca lake. It was a bit nostalgic for me cause we were last here on my birthday a few years back on a trip with my brother to cheer him on during the Wine glass marathon...that was one of my favorite birthday weekends! We went to Glenora and Fulkerson winery and then to a brewery for john. ...
Day 1 in the Finger lakes
... I love living in the RV because you can never forget anything....everything is always with you. Today I had a pang of sadness where I thought I left my camera at the campsite, but then I quickly remembered everything is in our car, all the time, haha... Force of habit I guess but it was a really funny realization. We also never have to stop to eat out cause we have a refrigerator full of food! Early to bed so we can start another day in the finger ...
We have certainly had better days!
... four fast food outlets but remember we had food in the trailer so we weren't tempted. As we arrived in Syracuse we saw a Camping World (large business that sells RV's and has a camping store plus service department etc). We needed a new light bulb for the outside of the trailer so we came off the freeway to make a stop. Light bulb purchased we got back in the car to continue on to visit the University, but that was not to be the case. The automatic transmission would ...
... Tom, Ian, Emily and I opted for the longer walk. It had a lovely view. It was also nice to have a decent walk after being on the bus. It was very warm and very humid. After the walk we went down to the lake and had a swim, the weather had improved and it was sunny, but the lake was really cold! Had a nice swim though, and the played frisbee with the group. It was really nice ...
Brewerton on the Canal
... late yesterday. The main reason we stopped at this particular marina is because they are supposed to have an excellent mechanic on staff that can look at one of the air conditioners on the boat that isn't working properly. Supposedly we had an appointment pre-arranged to look at it, but upon arrival we found out that wasn't the case. Rather than waste several days ...
