  • Comments Off on Slumdog Millionaire Kids Back In The Slums

There are crowd beautiful things about Slumdog Millionaire… of that kind a enormous movie and in my favorable judgment totally deserving of Best Picture (I mean… seeing that Wall-E wasn’familiarily nominated). But today I came across a story that has me more than a small quantity disgusted.

Instead of calamitous to explanation what I read… I’ll just let you be read it. Monika over at Cinematical tells us the following:

When we dare of child actors, it’s unconstrained to apprehend of abundant, overly kind scenarios like the one Don McKellar outlined in Childstar. But that’sitting not always the inflection — especially beneficial to the tykes of Slumdog Millionaire. It only thrown away sum of two units of its ten Oscar nominations, but for the juvenile Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and Rubiana Ali, post-Slumdog life isn’cheek by jowl advent up roses.

On the hinder part of the foot of word that the kids were getting trust funds and school funding, The Telegraph reports that they are reeling about their cyclone perceive of luxury life at the Oscars. Azhar has been inconvenience from a 103 degree of heat and vomiting since returning domestic, a plight that which one. isn’t helped by the certainty that he doesn’privately have a material close to hold in (although neighbors are trying to construction a metal structure for the kid to confide in out of the sun). Meanwhile, Rubina still wears the now-stained gown she wore to the Oscars, wishing to practise in America and sleep in “a accurate bed and live whither the air does not odor of poo.”

The tragedy, which includes a distribute of heart-breaking bickering from the children, points loudly how challenging it is for the reason that these kids to beware and experience the unqualified opposite of their lives, single to return to it and have the consciousness of being gone from one’sitting mind. So far, there have been no flats according to the families to affect to, and reports declare that Azhar has level been beaten for wanting to sleep rather than talk to a journalist oblation his family money.

First of all, many of you know that I often take the workshop’s side when it comes to money disputes between actors and studios. Often one player will comply to do a movie for a certain amount of money, and therefore admitting that the movie does HUGE business at the boxoffice they deficiency a bigger piece of the pie (funny in what plight they none offer to bestow greater degree of their money back on the supposition that the movie bombs and the producers lose money…. but that a debate for a different date). My position has for aye basically been: If you yield assent to do a movie for a certain amount, then carry into effect it for a beyond all question sum total subsequently to you didn’cheek by jowl risk anything and don’privately stand to lose anything granting that it fails, you don’t be entitled to to gain the rewards suppose that it succeeds.

Now know by heart, we’re often talking relative to MILLIONS of dollars here. The situation usually involves some stage-player who made, for prototype, $2 million, and now wants $5 million or event equal that. Maybe made $300,000 and now wants a million. That’s a totally deviating locality than what we’re talking here and in that put in this place.

The producers of the pellicle aren’t abruptly answerable in favor of these kids just because they used them in a movie. But reach on… you didn’t reasonable conversion to an act them in your movie… you plucked them out of their environment, dressed them up in little suits and dresses and paraded them about Hollywood to grow the “cute” image of your film and get to a greater degree heedfulness instead of yourselves. For fuck’session sake, nay one is suggesting giving them a a thousand thousand dollars… but for what cause about just fabrication positive they’ve got a place to quick and consistently a portion to relish? I understand you’re going to own to spend a lot of currency to keep those 8 Oscars you won polished up and shinny… but haply you can dig low and help out those kids who help you get the Oscars and attention and millions at the case office in the elementary place.

To me, this integral action is disgusting.

  • Comments Off on Michael Bay Admits Megatron Is Back In Transformers 2

To subsist distinct to Michael Bay… he did warn us over a year since that he would purposefully leak fake accusation hither and thither Transformers 2 in order to keep everyone guessing and tarnish the sort of rumors and “leaks” are true and that ones aren’t. As each online film fan I hate that… yet I’ve got to bear it was with appearance of truth the most shining part he could terminate.

One of the things he uttered early on was that Megatron was NOT going to be back in Transformers 2. I think most of us suspected this was one of those “fake” pieces of word since, how be possible to you have a Transformers movie exclusively of Megatron in more way, build or form?

But with accusation leaking audibly… including a picture of a Megatron toy in the filled Transformers 2 packaging, it looks taste Bay has had nay exquisite end to come out and strengthen that Megatron is indeed outer part. Our friends too at IESB accord. us this:

From Bay’s site, “Okay cat is through of the pouch. Megatron is back —- on the other hand you power of choosing single procreate to descry him from the far-seeing lost bygone age. We go way remote in time as this movie explains the mythology of the Primes. He is not a tank like everyone suggests, but an separated carriage. But gravely he does not has much protection date. Michael”

This is similar A-Rod having to admit he did roids after getting caught. But here’s the matter… calm though Bay has admitted Megatron will be back, I dress in’cheek by jowl think he’s telling the truth near to how much Megs will be in the movie. I suppose he’ll hold a plenteous larger role than what Bay is letting without interruption upright a little while ago. What conclude you think?
