The Walking Dead, 13 Reasons Why, Orange is the New Black: Actors who gave it all this season

sivertime — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 16:22:09 +0000

This year again the stars of our favorite series have burst the screen. Small return on the best performances of the season.
The clash between all your favorite series in the 2017 World Cup continues and you can go vote every day HERE to show all your love. While waiting to have the first results, we propose to you to return on the best performances of actors and actresses of this season . Yeah, a series would be nothing without its casting and we sometimes have the opportunity to see scenes as intense as impressive that unveil the full potential of the actors and actresses who play them.
Andrew Lincoln – Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead
The talent of Andrew Lincoln was already known, but it is a whole new facet of Rick Grimes that he unveiled in the first episode of season 7 of The Walking Dead . Hard not to be impressed by this performance that showed us a completely broken Rick faced with the cruelty of Negan . Without necessarily speaking, Andrew Lincoln transmitted through his eyes the total destruction of his character and for that it deserves to be on our list.
Kate Walsh – Olivia Baker in 13 Reasons Why
The Netflix series produced by Selena Gomez would not have been what it is without a talented cast that is not only composed of teenagers in distress. Kate Walsh, who plays the mother of Hannah Baker, has slipped into the skin of a desperate mother in the face of her daughter’s suicide . Touching, strong and moving at the same time, the actress that many have known in Gray’s Anatomy and Private Practice has once again shown her talent.
Danielle Brooks – Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson in Orange is the New Black
In a season 5 very politically engaged, Danielle Brooks shone in all the episodes under the guise of Taystee. Immediately after the death of his best friend Poussey Washington, Taystee symbolized to perfection the powerlessness and frustration of a population too often and too unjustly targeted by law enforcement in the United States . A touching and powerful performance that paid tribute to a character we still lack.
Adelaide Kane – Mary Stuart in Reign
After four seasons of history and drama, Mary Stuart’s adventures ended recently on the CW with episode 16 of Reign’s Season 4 . So we take the opportunity to highlight the always just performance of Adelaide Kane, who has been able to bring life with strength and thanks to this historical figure on which fate has fought . Vulnerable, stubborn, strategic and intelligent, so many facets of a queen that Adelaide Kane knew how to incarnate with talent.
Brit Marling – Prairie Johnson in The OA
As mysterious as it is intrusive, The OA landed on Netflix as a UFO and seduced thousands of viewers. It must be said that once again, Brit Marling lived up to her role to plunge us directly into the atmosphere of the series under the guise of her heroine, Prairie Johnson . Attacking, sometimes a bit frightening but always talented, that’s what we look forward to seeing season 2 …
Travis Fimmel – Ragnar Lothbrok in Vikings
Another actor who has made his bow and we will miss much on the small screen in the guise of the valiant Ragnar: Travis Fimmel. In Vikings, the actor has done justice to this legendary historical figure that marked Scandinavian history . Brave, strong and charming at the same time, Travis Fimmel has seduced the public with his eyes of ice and his charisma and we already know that he will cruelly miss the series in the sequel.
That concludes our little tour of some of the best performances of the season. Although their series are not competing in the 2017 World Cup, Chyler Leigh in Supergirl, Nicole Kidman in Big Little Lies and Elizabeth Moss in The Handmaid’s Tale are still mentioned. And what performances did you score this season?

You listened to that slab in the course of history but you kiffes these series from real facts

sivertime — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 19:34:30 +0000

The series have the gift of making everything more interesting, even those boring History lessons as the shows below proved.
When it is Mr. Machin who tells you how the Romans beat the Gauls or how the reign of Louis XIV took place, you often have nothing to do, it is more a nice story to accompany your siesta. But when the life of the great figures of history is staged in a series it suddenly becomes the most addictive thing in your life and you sometimes even go to read what it really happened to try to Guess the sequel or establish theories . Well then certainly they are not going to serve you to pass your test of history at the Bac, but they are always welcome when you want to unwind after hours of revisions.
Reign
This series of the CW tells the story of Mary Stuart, queen of Scotland and temporarily queen of France, but in a funky and sexy way than in Secrets of History. Moreover, the series ended last night in the United States, we will finally be able to discover if Mary will also lose her head …
Vikings
Conquests, battles, seizures of power … It’s much more fun to follow with images and even more when it comes to bloodthirsty Vikings! And then, we were all fascinated by the character of Ragnar Lothbrok, as bad-ass as touching, who led his people with intelligence and bravery. If there was a quiz on him at the Bac, we would have easy 20/20 .
Outlander
Who would have thought that the revolution of the Jacobites in Scotland would be so exciting to follow? Thanks to the Outlander series in any case, we are downright. Maybe if our teachers resembled Sam Heughan, we’d be more attentive in class too, who knows!
The Tudors
Henry VIII of England is one of the most sulphurous monarchs in history and the series The Tudors is obviously in his image, thus A-DO-RE! Between betrayals, forbidden romances, battles for power … We do not miss a second before the series and, most, is that we do not need to remember dates.
The Crown
Much less sulfur than others, The Crown is nevertheless exciting to follow, especially because it is more contemporary and it is like discovering the greatest secrets of the Queen of England. Moreover, we are already looking forward with great impatience to season 2 which should arrive on Netflix in November 2017 .
These five series are by no means the only ones interested in different periods of history and there really is something for everyone, from Versailles to Downton Abbey , Mad Men, The Americans and The Borgias . Yes, often they take freedoms with the reality of the facts but it is only to make it more interesting, and they can always make you change your mind about history. What are your favorite historical series?

Kate Middleton and Prince William married for 6 years, back on their story

sivertime — Sat, 29 Apr 2017 17:58:57 +0000

6 years already that the royal couple most in vogue has united for the best and the worst after many years of romance hidden in the eyes of all. Back on a story worthy of a fairy tale that makes the whole world dream!
April 29 is a great day for the royal family and especially for Kate Middleton and Prince William … Six years ago, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said “yes” to Westminster Abbey under the Eyes of the whole world. It is their wedding in Cyprus that Kate and William are celebrating today for their 6 years of marriage and it can be said that even after so many years, their history still makes as much dream. A real fairy tale. We all remember the shy but cute kiss of the royal couple on the balcony of Buckingham Palace who had then begun the fact that Kate and William would mark the British monarchy in their own way. But not only … Between the make-up of Kate Middleton that had been done by herself,
Before their 6 years of marriage, it’s almost 10 years of romance that precedes this great day for Kate and William . While the two lovebirds met at St Andrews University, it was in 2003 that they began to come together before the first rumors of a real romance fall in 2005 at the graduation ceremony . If a little time wasted in their relationship in 2007, it was fortunately been for a short time! It’s not because we’re living a fairy tale that we avoid the ups and downs … During all this time and even though Kate Middleton was seeing more and more important events for Prince Williams, The lovers never really formalized their relationship, even when they moved in together.
Almost a year and a half after their official union, in December 2012 the royal couple announced the arrival of the very first royal baby and it was in July 2013 that the family welcomed little Prince George! Who has not cracked before the boil of little George, is impossible. One year later, Kate Middleton revealed that she was expecting a second child and gave birth in May 2015 to little Charlotte. A family that is as simple as royal and makes the whole world dream. If some rumors suggested that Kate and William had been cold for some time, the couple seems more happy than ever and Kate Middleton would even be determined to have a third child ! Third royal baby is coming? A happy event, It should not be missed. If the story of Kate and William makes dream, the couple seems to decide to mark the story by displaying themselves as the modern royal heads of their generation and that, we validate! A happy sixth anniversary of marriage to the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge! What do you think of the couple Kate Middleton / Prince William?

What if the best books were those invented in the movies?

sivertime — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 15:55:36 +0000

A percussive title, a content that promises to be original and useful, when you see the book, you are dying to leaf through it. Except that it does not exist in real, damage.
Maybe we should start with the title, and then see what it is possible to do with it. If it makes you want, we try to find a nice cover and find enough stuff to say inside. The recipe for success is complicated. A clear advice in any case: to take inspiration from these books there.
The endless story (saga of eponymous films)
Based on a German novel, the film shows a kid who wants to understand what a daron reads about the book. Which remains a little secret. Which does not prevent the kid from traveling in a universe called Fantasia, where stories repeat and never end, are eternal . The only limits are the creativity of the person and his ability to believe in his dreams.
——- 1 ——-
Family of geniuses (“The Tenenbaum family”)
Wes Anderson likes the special and worked-out productions, and we note that books often play a part. The book is here the memories of the mother of a family who tells about everything that happens with her children and her husband . All the tares, in passing. The stories, the successes, the failures, the neuroses of the madre … There must be crunchy if it tells everything!
—— 2 ——
Isle of Naboombu (“The Witch’s Apprentice”)
The book tells a story of children in which the real images and the animated images merge, mix, as in the film we have before us. More than a book, he announces what will happen to the group of kids and describes a medallion to find, a magic spell to use, and so on. Yes, the book is prophetic. Right.
——- 3 ——-
Mister Babadook (eponymous film)
A book of kids that presents us the monster Babadook, whore. And we see it well afterwards, the bastard! This is how the film puts us in the conditions of a horror film and psychologically stressful. Because once they read the book, the characters realize that the babadook does exist . No way to ignore it, it’s over! A blow to finish possessed …
——- 4 ——–
Misery series (“Misery”)
Then, you must even read the real book (different from those written in the film by the writer, yai feints there) to grasp the trick, and really kiffer. This book by Stephen King is a slaughter, then adapted into film. Much less successful, alas. But faster to finish! A writer gets caught by a fan a little shaken who wants to force him to continue a certain story … An eight-closed ouf, crazy characters, tense scenes …
——- 5 ——-
The philosophy of time travel (“Donnie Darko”)
Written by a former professor, the book disturbs a lot the young Donnie when he realizes that the things described there really happen to him . In the film (director’s cut, 3 years after the release), we can even see certain encrusted passages, read them … And Donnie will accept his destiny, when he understood the scope and veracity of the book. Other examples in mind?

If you mate these movies by comatant, you do not understand anything

sivertime — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 17:38:51 +0000

For those who like to fall asleep in front of a movie, do not choose those. They ask you to follow and cogitate then it will not stick.
It’s true that it’s cool to fall asleep tranquillou, rocked by the distant lyrics of an unimportant movie. And precisely, must choose! Because if you put one of the movies cited below, you get yourself. Voluntarily complicated, they demand concentration and reflection.
Inception
You go and come between dreams, reality, different levels, the laws of physics do not exist any more … If you’re not well film, you apple and after that it has no more interest to look at it . The film is built expressly so that you reflect at the same time. Otherwise you end up like math in high school, dropped by a force …
2001 the odyssey of space
Already, the film is long. Then it is slow. But then slow as rarely seen. Leeeeeeent! In short, if you comate when you launch the film, you will fall asleep direct. And if you cling to it by opening one eye, once the right, once the left, and reaching the end, bah we will still have to try to understand the end . At least, to interpret it! Because this is the kind of “open” conclusion where you have to make your own idea.
Eraserhead
A chelou guy, constant music, a woman a little disgusting, sex scenes, alien sperm, dead bodies … David Lynch was already disturbing in 1977 . We love him for that, it’s true. You just have to remember that before pressing the play button.
Memento
Oh surprise, another Nolan movie! Still playing with our brain, the director goes here by the montage to push us to follow. Because in addition to the search for the killer of Leonard’s wife, we have the unpleasant impression that all the film’s plans are not in the logical order , to make comings and goings in history. And that’s the case ! We let you guess the trick if not it breaks all the interest.
Consistency
When it begins, you think of typing a boring movie, already seen a hundred times, and you are preparing to type your little one. Then a comet approaches the Earth … but avoids it. Pity. Except that another thing happens: the people of the evening banter dinner with friends will search a booth supposed to have powers, lower down the street . And boom, they fall on their doubles. And it’s gone: who’s who? Who is really at the table? If it’s not done on purpose, huh.
Donnie Darko
It could have been another film about the teenage and dramatic delusions of a young man. But it goes much further. You see a rabbit, you travel in time, you reflect on the meaning of life (or its lack of meaning, precisely) … Really interesting and a movie become cult after a not so successful out. In part because everyone did not freeze and rejected the work a little. A director’s cut came out in 2004, with explanations from director Richard Kelly. Is there any among you who had made the mistake of watching one of these films at 11 pm or not very lucid?

These undercutting series deserve a little recognition of brothel

sivertime — Fri, 07 Apr 2017 18:19:28 +0000

Some things seem to deserve more attention and recognition, it starts with a good feeling. This is the case for these series.
For once it’s in the positive sense, it’s still better. Because generally, we leave more room for debate on the side stuff (players, movies, groups, games, etc.), so to the negative. Here we will be in positive criticism! And we will limit ourselves to the series of the last decade, otherwise we have not left the hostel (Spanish, or whatever you want).
The disastrous adventures of orphans Baudelaire
An original series launched on Netflix which despite the good reviews did not find its audience. A childish side with dances and songs, allowing Neil Patrick Harris to shine , and another very adult by his black and sarcastic humor. Too bad because it is really stylish. Suddenly, everyone spoke of “Stranger Things” and other series. But if you have time, try it, it’s the beauty of streaming: it’s available when you’re hot.
The Ricky Gervais Show
Basically it was a podcast and not just any one: one of the most popular. Then HBO wanted to adapt it in series, in animation mode. An original direction and a rather convincing result, giving a cartoon with punchlines of egg and crazy situations . Often when Stephen and Ricky handle Karl! But the three seasons did not make so many views that, the audience remained limited. At the same time, the broadcast schedules were not top.
Rick and Morty
Adored by a certain community of unconditional fans, ignored or downright unknown by others. Sad fate for one of the best comedy series, much less renowned than the Simpsons or Les Griffins. Basically , it’s a parody of “Back to the Future” where Doc is a drunk alcoholic and drugged, while Marty turns out to be a little unmanageable nervous, chaining chess . Very cynical, alternating wacky jokes and striking findings of justness, the series deserves more spectators and publicity.
Ghosts
A French series which is worth the detour, then it must be said. Dealing with death and resurrection, it clearly gives place to drama and reflection. With a good dose of stress, tension, discomfort! Basically, dead people come back to life, and go back to their lives before as if nothing had happened. Because they did not realize they were dead, actually … A very “rational” and psychological delirium that changes other zombie series where blood and gore prevail . There you cogitate and you anxiously. Still.
Love
A creation that one owes to Judd Appatow, best known for his films now, while he is the author of a few series mine of nothing. Alas all a little depreciated, like “Freaks and Geeks” or the latest in date, “Love”. Exploring the world of modern romance, with humor and intelligence , analyzing it and making it live without falling into easy criticism, the series shows us two endearing characters, Mickey and Gus. Which form a couple that one likes to look at and see evolve.
The Americans
Quality at all levels. Actors, plot, sets and costumes, photography … Really good work and a series that should be a reference at the moment. Located in the 1980s, the story shows two Russian spies sent to the United States to glean information and refer all this to the mother country . Under cover obviously, in normal and well-integrated American mode. The father is almost too much (he kiffe limits the capitalist delirium the rogue), the mother less, the children sympathize with children of agents of the FBI … Very interesting to watch, especially today with the frenzied communications On the influence of Putin during the American elections. Who can confirm that one of these series is worth it?

Thinking about it a bit, the possible reboot Matrix seems more sympatoch in series than film

sivertime — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 19:09:18 +0000

The project would be (already) under discussion, according to the Hollywood Reporter, and the opinions are negative. Too early, not necessary, risky … And if we made a series rather than a film?
It is not too late to change your mind, choose the appropriate form and put as much emphasis as possible on the bottom. The material is there, it is enough simply to use it as well as possible. And frankly, making a series seems pretty bad! Finally, it could calm down all those who are rather annoyed at the moment, seeing this project reboot in film as a shit announced, especially without the Wachowski to the controller, without the historical producer Joel Silver, nor a single cast member original. Come on, here are some ideas. That Warner can use, before officially confirm any project.
The films do not concentrate enough on the matrix
You can not do everything or satisfy everyone. Nor even all the desires. However, given the potential to be exploited behind the existence of the matrix, it would be possible to place more emphasis on it. For we human beings like to reflect on the illusion of reality, the backdrop behind our world and our universe . Much more than just looking (and appreciating, nevertheless) bastons or other purely human inter-personal problems. The will to be surprised, disturbed, to dig …
The possibility of developing several intrigues in parallel
Do not let us sulk our pleasure, follow the steps of Neo remains stylish. The stroke of the Messiah who comes to save humans is nothing new but when it is done well, we can be carried away. But if there were only that, a series of seasons would probably be boring. And there’s no risk! We could also include a slew of other things : a sort of prequel about the revolution, how it was built, how the machines had taken power, the path of Morpheus, why it and not another …
The indispensable villain is indeed present
It is a secret boot not so secret: it requires antagonism to create public interest. That he tries to understand why, that he feels things (empathy, compassion, disgust, fright …), that he identifies the values of the characters … And in Matrix, Agent Smith is an ideal opponent . Coriace, obsessed, wicked, heartless, he does not let go Neo and the others. Above all, he does not remain in his office to build plans; He goes to the field and wants to solve the problems. In person. Wet the shirt.
A smaller budget for more real actions
The first film had brought back the technique of the bullet time and delivered some magnificent fights. Then the second and third opus saw their budget doubled, which was not a good thing. Because the producers were made plaiz ‘and multiply the special effects based on computers and machines, we sweet to pass the scenes of fight to human dimension, stylish. An error (except the passage with the hundreds of Agent Smith, which is kept). A return to more human action scenes, worked, choreographed , would be welcome . More than slamming millions, it is a matter of spending them well. So hot for a series or not?

Having feelings is fantastic, so there are fantastic films full of feelings, logical

sivertime — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 18:28:45 +0000

It is the beauty of cinema. As long as your scenes have a meaning and influence on the story, it’s open bar. So you can see love stories on a fantastic background.
There are no rules. Or rather, we must know how to surpass them, circumvent them, transcend them. It is risky indeed, but the game is worth the candle. When it works, it gives us a nice movie to watch . Without being pleasing to everyone (it is impossible mission, but without James Bond), these films remain examples.
Wandering souls
Tirée d’un roman de Stephenie Meyer, le film nous montre des Aliens qui veulent prendre le contrôle de la Terre et des êtres humains. Ces aliens sont d’ailleurs appelés “les Âmes” et un d’entre eux rencontre des difficultés à s’approprier l’esprit de sa victime, Melanie. Pourquoi ? Car celui-ci est totalement tourné vers un homme caché dans le désert. Un homme qu’elle aime. Du coup, elle partage ses souvenirs de Jared non stop et désire toujours le sauver. Oups, j’allais oublier : c’est la même romancière qui a écrit “Twilight”. Coïncidence ? Je ne crois pas.
Film, cinema, fantasy, love, story, woman, man, relationship, complicated, joy, sorrow, tear, loves, Twilight
——- 1 ——-
Sublimes créatures
Another adapted work of a book, finally of several I should say, the saga Beautiful Creatures of Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia. In summary, Ethan is a young high school student who gets her shit in the middle of nowhere in the southern States, until Lena arrives . The trick is that the mysterious phenomena multiply as soon as it arrives then it is rather badly seen. Except by Ethan, coquinou, who wants to know more. He will discover his secret, which will necessarily impact their love story. Suspense.
——- 2 ——-
Twilight
Come on, I’ll let you guess: from a book or not? Surprise … yes! And since there was matter, bah there was film. Finally, of the film, what. Five, to be precise. To avoid summarize badly, early enough: Bella moves in with her father in Forks and falls madly in love with Edward, a guy his age . But brothel of God’s name: he’s a vampire. Like all his family. So what ? Bella likes it, will be accepted by (almost) all. Then there will be ups and downs, obstacles … And ahead Guingamp, you have five movies to watch.
——- 3 ——-
Cinderella
A classic since the Disney animated movie dating back to 1951. And like any good self-respecting classic, it never dies. Thus, in 2015, a new version was proposed to the public, with Helena Bonham-Carter and Cate Banchett. Still. And the story of this poor Cinderella, as nice as nice, that life does not spare, as we always moves . With the Prince who would do anything for her, unlike her vicious mother-in-law and her two-half-sister bastards.
——- 4 ——-
Adaline
Already, note the original first name. Yes, this is the name of the lady. Then it is fortunate not to age: born in 1908, it still in great shape and always looks as young and beautiful a hundred years later . Except that she is not convinced that this is a chance, she dares to enjoy and build a love story. The struggle of reason against feelings.
——- 5 ——-
The beauty and the Beast
To change, it is an adaptation of Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve’s tale, dating back to 1740. We are talking about the film released in 2014, with Léa Seydoux and Vincent Cassel. If you have the lazy to download it (legally, of course), you can expect the next adaptation planned this year. Basically: a family in galley part in the campaign, took refuge in a castle to avoid a snowstorm, and daron is confused by the domain owner, a beast . Condemned to death, outright. But one of his daughters, Belle, turns the head of my Beast and sacrifices himself. Slowly but surely, they get to know each other. And Belle will want to save the Beast, in fact a cursed Prince for his past not jojo. Which do you prefer?

How to give the name of a character without it being all banal and none

sivertime — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 17:51:54 +0000

It sounds stupid but it’s actually complicated. We must avoid the classic “How are you called? “, Bring something more fun to see. The techniques.
Use a conversation where more than two people participate
From the outset, one avoids the face to face classic and relou described in the intro. There, with at least three people discussing, it is enough to have the name of a character spoken and to point the camera towards him . And hop, at least one identified! Kind of scred ‘, of course, like: “By the way, Bernard, what do you think about it?”
Show character name
Another feint. Rather than say it, make it heard, we must mount it, make it see. Via a plaque on the door of his office, an inscription on his professional card, a letter addressed to him … or even squarely an advertising display as for Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad.
Create a waiting scene where their name is necessarily given
Like us, when we go to the doctor, the hairdresser, to an interview or any other official appointment. The character will be there, waiting to be called, wisely, and so will be his name . On the other hand, it is necessary to give a minimum of meaning to the scene. Otherwise, we’re gonna be shit …
Use mobile phone calls and messages
Here is an idea that it is good. In addition, it is the image of our everyday life so it will seem perfectly natural. When you call someone, you usually introduce yourself . Question of politeness, already, and common sense, then, if not the other at the end of the wire will grieve to understand what you want, why … Concerning texting, it is even simpler. Simply film the name of the contact indicated on the screen and the trick is played.
Make two characters talk about a nearby third
Not necessarily wrong, in the language of motherfucker. It does not matter, it’s free. Simply, to make a conversation between two characters about a third allows to show the latter. Easy. We have more than making the name-face link . Normally, it is feasible.
Never mention the character’s name
This happens much more often than you think. And what is also less serious and embarrassing than we think. Seriously, you can very well follow the characters, understand the film and debrief after but without knowing his name . You have other means of designating it. In Fight Club, for example, Edward Norton is “the narrator”. That’s all, no name. And many of us did not even realize it.
Make a scene
Both literally and figuratively. In contrast to the previous technique, here we focus on the name and nothing else. So there must of course be a staging, an explanation, that serves the story . These conditions fulfilled, the film can spend two minutes on a name. Like McLovin in Super Grave. So, who feels warm to write a script now that this major problem is resolved?

Hat, these fusions of characters were successful while it is well snack

sivertime — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:43:23 +0000

It is an idea that often springs up in the minds of writers, as attractive as it is complicated to manage. So when it is done well, it must be said, film or comic.
Spock and Bones
Before he died at the end of the second film (“Khan’s Wrath”), Spock linked his katra, that is, his soul, to McCoy’s body. So, it happens to Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy to speak with Spock’s voice, to use his own words, when he dreams and his mind is invaded by Spock . Then in the 3 (“In Search of Spock”), the project is clear: recover the body of Spock, regenerate it with the unique properties of the planet Genesis and hop, return to normal. Before the mix in McCoy’s mind would be fatal, it makes him crazy. Perilous mission accomplished, BG.
Voldemort and Quirrell
It’s at the beginning, when Voldemort leaves from a distance. When he does not yet have his own body, always to wander, following the destruction of his physique due to the rebound of his spell on Harry, baby and protected by his mother. Professor Quirrell offers him his body, to be his ship , the time that the-one-must-not-pronounce-the-name does rebuild his own. The two individuals remain very distinct, each speaking to the other, who responds to him, with the front face for Quirrell and Voldemort in the back of the skull. A little chelou but it passes.
Onslaught
During a fight, Magneto cuts out Wolverine in all directions and removes the adamantium from his bones. Professor X wants to intervene, it falls into Magneto’s mind to calm him … and finds himself merge with him. The two mutants give Onslaught, a second personality in Xavier , of which he himself does not seem to be aware. Powers of power, an enormous size, the swallowing of two other characters (Nate Gray, Franklin Richards), it goes away. Fortunately, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four were there.
The composite Superman
Still the result of a mad scientist. Professor Ivo cloned the entire members of the League of Justiciers but it is a little gone. Result: Super-super-powerful super-villain, with the appearance of Superman and Batman . Their costumes, their faces, and even their personal private lives. Why these two? For each one had intervened in the battles of the other, interposing between one and his enemies.
The superior Spiderman
When Doc Ock dies with a slow fire, he decides to exchange body with Peter Parker. Without really concerting the latter, of course. Not completely con, not victim to the end, Peter leaves his memories and his moral attached to his body . This changes the personality of Octavius, always intelligent and ambitious, but now influenced by the cravings of Spiderman. Then he takes up the challenge, some time. Before cracking, too tempted, one day, and returning his body to Peter Parker. Frankly, it’s still not bad when the mix goes well?

Shooting and historical truth: small anecdotes about the movie “300”

sivertime — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 18:39:43 +0000

First information: yes, they were really in pants. Seriously, there are other nice things to know about this slap we took at the time.
Nearly ten years to the day. The film was released in France on March 21, 2007, and yeah! We had made an appointment in ten years, but better to be ahead than to be late. In short, to celebrate this, here are some anecdotes about the film of Zack Snyder, adapted from comic Frank Miller. Your next evening, you can do a little “Did you know?” Special 300, to tell you a little . If we do not lather ourselves, who is going to do it eh?
Normally, all Spartans wore a feathered helmet …
… And not only their leader, in this case King Leonidas, interpreted by Gerard Butler. Why should we depart from facts and history? Simply to make the protagonist easier to identify , especially during (many) combat scenes. So the director Zack Snyder found this technique as simple as it was effective. Come on, it’s a good reason.
The actors followed a sacred program to be also stock
Even if you’re part of the so-called sportsmen, typing your abs and, or, pumps every morning, going to run regularly, going on a bike ride on weekends, dropping, you’re away. The actors had to train four hours a day for seven months (6h even for Butler), under the direction of a physical trainer, without any day’s rest. And food level, misery … Michael Fassbender reported that he ate only almonds and fresh cheese curd.
Respect for land and animals
Okay, ok, I’m expanding the line but frankly, we can emphasize the efforts made . Instead of producing more kilos of plastic to create the weapons, the producers have recovered a good part of the films “Alexander” and “Troy”. As for the animals, no horse was injured or maltreated during the film.
From taf level costume, mine of nothing
One could have believed the opposite, to see the guys walking in panties and three times nothing on the body. Wrong! Leonidas owned 17 helmets , Xerxes 33 facial decorations, and overall, there was a team of more than 60 people who worked full time to create more than 600 costumes, necessary from the beginning to the end of the film.
An efficient shoot
In two months it was torched. But not like you and me when we do the dishes, eh. Not the quick done wrong. Did you see the end result? Clean . And all that in 60 days. This allowed to limit the costs and only clicked $ 69M. Another rare fact, the shooting was chronological, in the order of scenes and history.
The Spartan women really let go of this sentence …
“Come back with their shield .” Either, “Come back with their shield, or on yours” , in VF (I know you understand, I just have to do it, take it personally). This is the sentence pronounced by the Queen when Leonidas goes to confront the Persians , and it corresponds exactly to that of the Spartan women when they saw their husband and son going to fight. Basically, slash them and bring back their shield, or come back on yours. For the man killed with dignity in battle was brought back on his shield by his comrades.
Spartans are the real first hipsters
If you look good, only Astinos does not wear the beard. All the others are not shaved up close like him, completely beardless limit. And that’s normal, because shaving in the Spartans was a dishonor . Only an extreme case justified him: to be in mourning.
If your parents call you Ephialtes, it is because they do not love you too much
Just by referring to the film already, you are not super happy. To be compared to a hunchback with hardly engaging face, a scraping off, no thank you. And when you dig a little, you learn that it means “nightmare” . And in Greece, Ephialtes rhymes with traitor. Truthful. So, you want to see him again?

If so, these films have won an Oscar

sivertime — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:07:29 +0000

You forgot him, too, everybody. Even today, it shocks a little, one wonders how they did. However, they have their names on the list.
The Oscars is a bit like the Ballon d’Or during the era of the condominium with the Fifa. Sometimes films deserve a reward, cumulate the nominations, are approached to win … and leave empty-handed. While others, judged only passable, even mediocre, managed to catch a statuette . As when Cannavaro won in 2006, you were confused.
8 Mile
Do not worry, this film about Eminem’s life has obviously not been voted best film , no better script or brought any reward to the rapper’s acting. Still not. But the film saw its original soundtrack pretty much appreciated, and Eminem left with the statuette of the best song.
Beyond our dreams
An ambitious film that does not meet its own goals. Dealing with life after death, we see a Robin Williams who was trying to do his best, without succeeding in transporting us, simply because he does not have the material . On the background of religion, dramatic reflection and diverse manipulation on subjects such as family and love, one actually sees a very beautiful film from a purely visual point of view (hence the Oscar for the best special effects) , But nothing more profound than that.
The Wolfman
The story could have been exciting, the cast was pretty good, the special effects not bad either … But no! The film did not mark the spirits. We get bored, we feel like watching a TV movie … So ok, the film got the Oscar for the best makeup, but even that is limited. And then Anthony Hopkins as a monster out of a cross with a hamster …
My cousin Vinny
Comedy without much pretension, it looks, two hours, quiet. You come out like that, without violence. And you forget the movie pretty quickly. And so, you forgot that Marissa Tomei had won the Oscar for the best supporting role , as Mona Lisa Vito. OK why not. But at the same time, why …
Crash
Paul Haggis embarked on a complicated subject: racial tensions in Los Angeles. For many, it has missed in wide widths. The message is so hammered, so heavy, so pompous that it is heavy. It spoils the thing. The characters are all clichés on legs . And the film still had the Oscar for the best photography. In front of “A history of violence” and “Brokeback Moutain” in particular, whose images were also magnificent. See more.
Pearl Harbor
A film about Japan’s suicide attack against the United States in the second world war, which will cause the fall of the Asian country and terrible consequences … We could have seen a rather dark, introspective film about nature Our violence. Except that Michael Bay took care of it, so it sent heavy and then that’s it . Ah yes, there was also a love story like secondary plot. In any case, explosions and scenes of burglars apparently convinced the judges to hand over to the film the Oscar for the best sound mixing. Do you still have other movies that you had hallucinated to win an Oscar?

Star Wars Rogue One: How Jyn Erso Could Return, According to Felicity Jones

sivertime — Sun, 26 Feb 2017 18:36:52 +0000

Given the end of Star Wars: Rogue One, Jyn is unlikely to reappear one day. Yet, for Felicity Jones, there would be a way to bring her back!
As the very first spin-off, Star Wars: Rogue One has more than managed his bet! Not only was he able to conquer the public and the fans of the license but he also managed to introduce new characters and to add new elements to his extended universe. But unlike Luke, Han or Rey, Jyn Erso, Cassian and company will probably never return to the big screen. And for good reason, the end of Star Wars: Rogue One , although necessary and logical, proves quite tragic, all the members of the rebel Jyn team each perishing their turn during their mission . A chain of deaths, moreover, which left us exhausted and heartbroken! But is there really no way to bring back some of our characters from the dead? Star Wars: Rogue One was originally supposed to end differently , including the survival of Jyn and Cassian. So how could our heroine eventually return to the Star Wars universe ? His interpreter, Felicity Jones, has his little idea on the matter!
Because imagine that the actress really believes that her character could one day come back. The only question is how! Interviewed by the HeyUGuys site on the subject, Felicity Jones, who said she loved the experience, had fun thinking about a way to get her character back. And as you will see, she has already explored a few tracks. ” I had an extraordinary experience and I could never have expected anything better – and people seemed to react well to that ,” she told the HeyUGuys site. ” It’s great to be part of that – who knows, maybe Jyn could reincarnate, you can imagine everything and anything, maybe it could come back in the form of a hologram! ” . Well, clearly, It’s unlikely that Jyn will reincarnate , as she was even pulverized at the end of Star Wars: Rogue One . And the theme of reincarnation has never been used in franchising.
On the other hand, yes, Jyn could come back in the form of a hologram, at the bend of a small cameo . We did not see him recording any message in the film but that does not mean that the possibility of seeing it again does not exist. After all, it inspired courage in the Rebel Alliance and allowed it to destroy the Black Star and stand up to the Empire! So it would not be surprising if Leia had somehow kept Jyn’s image. And if that’s not the case, we can still find it, as will also be the case for two other Star Wars characters: Rogue One, in the novel supposedly exploring his past . Would you like to see Jyn in another Star Wars movie?

Nokia: Blackberry attacks manufacturer for patent infringement

sivertime — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:49:12 +0000

Blackberry decided to sue Nokia in court. The Canadian company accuses its Finnish counterpart of having taken its patents. The beginning of a soap opera?
Nokia and Blackberry will be much anticipated from the coast of MWC 2017 which is held at the end of February in Barcelona. The two smartphone manufacturers are returning to the market after disappearing from the landscape in recent years. Faced with Apple, Samsung, LG, Huawei or Sony, they will have to make a place for themselves. However, if both come back this is not without problems. Blackberry remembers its glorious past in which among others it was the telephone of the President of the USA. His many patents deposited make him proud. That is why this week, the Canadian firm decided to file a lawsuit against Nokia at the North Carolina-based Wilmington federal court. Blackberry blames Nokia for breaching eleven of its patents .
What are these patents that cause Blackberry irritation? According to Tom’s Guide with Ars Technica , they are related to LTE and UMTS / UTRAN technology. Blackberry suspects and says that Nokia has used its processes on its station Flexi Multiradio. Produced by Nokia Siemens Network, the device can group and manage GSM / EDGE networks 2G, UMTS / HSPA 3G and LTE (the network prior to 4G). Other ownership of Nokia using the Blackberry patents according to the Canadian firm, the management software Liquid Radio. The complaint also concerns the sale of these devices by Nokia to telephony operators such as T-Mobile – quoted in the text – without prior authorization from Blackberry.
Blackberry Chains Complaints
For information, Tom’s Guide recalls that these patents belong to Nortel Networks, a company bought in 2011 by the Rockstar consortium of which Blackberry is a member. This is not the first complaint filed by the Canadian firm this year. Two similar cases took place a few weeks ago against Avaya (corporate communication specialist) and BLU Products (smartphone manufacturer). Nokia will be able to count on the return of the 3310 to forget this complaint of Blackberry.

Yes, talking about death can also be beautiful

sivertime — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 19:06:03 +0000

Difficult to approach a subject concerning more people, and yet it is not especially what we go to the cinema. Except for these beautiful movies.
The death of a person can be beautiful, without even having a beautiful death. The way in which the subject is treated, the story that tells it, the staging, the implications and unspoken: there are a thousand and one ways to talk about it. Similarly, it does not necessarily constitute the major part of the film in terms of image and scenes, although it may be the source of it, in the background.
First contact
Sorry, but it came out last December 7, there are prescriptions. Here, the plot obviously revolves around the arrival of extraterrestrials on the edge of our earth and the reaction that this arouses among us other humans. How to communicate, what to do, to cooperate, to attack … Against a background of diplomacy with a chin, like in real life. But how to forget the secondary plot? The story of love linking Louise Banks to Ian Donnelly , marked by the latter’s bitterness of not having been warned by his wife of the special provisions of their child’s fate … We leave the room wondering: What is the right decision? Why did she do it? Is there a choice?
There
He will have kept his promise. So child, Carl Fredricksen dreams as adventurer and shares his passion with Ellie. They plan to go to the falls of paradise in Venezuela and continue their journey together until marriage. After that is the end of the beans: they can not have children, they lack money and Ellie ends up dying, sick. Carl then lived alone, reclusive. At the beginning of the film, we see him aged, isolated in his house, asocial . Until the day Russell enters his life. Carl sees himself, finds himself in him and enjoys life again. Until realize her promise to Ellie: their house is throne on the falls of paradise.
Sixth Sense
A twist that hurts. And I’m not talking about dancing a knee. Bruce Willis interprets a psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe. An intelligent but disturbed, frightened, anxious man who exchanges with a little boy named Cole. Malcolm explains unsuccessfully trying to preserve his marriage, doing everything without his wife noticing . And he confides his secret: one day, a neglected patient had come to shoot at him. Cole then reveals his own: he sees dead people and speaks to them … You understand: Malcolm realizes only at the end that he is already dead, that his wife is widowed …
Big Fish
If the form corresponds in any point to the films of Tim Burton, the background differs. Behind the dreamlike landscapes, the surprising characters and the scenes out of time, hides a touching reflection on the father-son relationship . Here a sales rep called Edward Bloom sees his end arrive, and his son Billy Crudup comes closer. The subject: reconciliation, before saying goodbye.
Inception
One of the best films in recent years. A slap. And a success as critical and commercial, logically. Behind the life of thugs that leads Dominic Cobb, “extractors” professional hired by multinationals to steal the secret information of their competitors, hides the tragic disappearance of his wife, Mal. Confused in their adventures between dream and reality, she had committed suicide . A tragic event that prompted Cobb to flee the United States (suspected of murder) and abandon his children, letting him go through an immense period of mourning, alone, to blame.
Seven lives
A touching Will Smith, in a dramatic film, far removed from his usual robotic robotic rolls of mechanics. Some have not borne the miserabilistic side of the film, or have seen a more megalo than generous side to his character, Ben Thomas. In summary, Ben killed seven people in an accident, including his wife . Depressed, unable to bear, he decided to change the lives of seven people. Before putting an end to his days. His plan is ready, he begins to apply it … and death takes on the features of a divine gesture that must not be spoiled. Which of these films touched you the most?

Valentine’s Day is over, like the story of those couples that had been forgotten

sivertime — Wed, 15 Feb 2017 18:32:17 +0000

Yesterday, all lovers celebrated their reciprocal feelings. Hopefully they are endless. What did not was the case of these couples, sometimes surprising.
Shia LaBeouf and Rihanna
We are not going to hide it, it must be far from a love story. According to their own statements, they are seen only once or twice , without really being able to explain it or give specific memories.
Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong
And yeah, the affair had not gone away. In 2007, the young actress was caught red-handed in the early morning , at the exit of a hotel, with the American cyclist. It was the latter who put an end to the story under the pressure of his relatives (for his career) and his doctor (for his treatment).
Channing Tatum and Amanda Bynes
The two comedians spun the perfect love for some time. They got on well, their story had stood up from the beginning when she was shooting She’s the Man . And then, well, they were not finally made for each other. Channing Tatum has rebounded well, now father.
Leonardi Di Caprio and Blake Lively
The bad tongues will say: “One more for Leo!” This was a relationship in which he had invested. For a while, the two walked together with the eyes of everyone , in Cannes and then on trips to Europe. Until the day was over. Then Leo began to check the strengths of Victoria’s secret models, while Blake landed with Ryan Reynolds.
Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Hutcherson
We have seen it necessarily with Zac Efron, today, since time. But she, like everyone else, had other conquests before. Notably his partner in the film “Journey to the center of the earth 2: the mysterious island”, Josh Hutcherson. They interpreted a couple on the screen, and became one behind the screen. Classic . But it does not last. Apparently still good friends, one wonders if Josh would not have big yet on the potato seen his missed joke: “She had broken my heart … No I laugh, it was a long time ago, we are buddies .”
Tom Cruise and Cher
Surprised, huh? And once is not customary, it is the woman who had hand on a youngster. Sixteen years apart and an imperishable memory for the singer , who confided that the actor had been an extraordinary lover. At the time, in 1987, Tom Cruise’s career was not yet at its peak. And his religious side, less known. What was not to be easy besides with Cher, a little in his world and away from all that. Which couple surprises you the most?

The whims of actors sometimes prove to be a good thing

sivertime — Thu, 09 Feb 2017 17:58:42 +0000

It is believed to know the whims and other slippages of some. Sometimes they were hallucinating, while others were right to insist. Examples.
Val Kilmer: “The Island of Doctor Moreau”
Basically, he had to play one of the main roles. Then he said he had better things to do, that producers had to reduce his share of scenes by 40% for it to be available. Already, it changes everything. Then, he did not stop questioning the choices of the director, Richard Stanley. Until the transfer to the project . Val, frankly … And it’s not over! To conclude, he demanded that the other actors see their lines modified or withdrawn, to leave all the light. The film will not be so bad finally, go for this time Val.
Crispin Glover: “Charlie and his funny ladies”
The pro of the negotiation. The guy gets the script, the bed and finds his replicas nil to shit. And not one or a few, all! So, rather than any change or leave the project, he has an idea: his character is mute . Finally, he does not speak, basically. McG agrees, go hop, forward the company.
Benicio Del Toro: “The usual suspects”
He was not yet known but was already showing character the rogue! When he reads the project, he understands that his character is destined to die first. Moreover, his take of words does not particularly influence the course of the story. Then he exhibited in Bryan Singer: “If you permitted me, I think you should let me try something .” Without imagining the trick, the director says yes. And Del Toro will play with an incomprehensible accent , mumbling, no one understanding what he says.
Mike Myers: “Wayne’s World”
It was a poker stroke. And he won. The memorable scene where he and his comrade shake his head on Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, you know? Well the producers wanted to sound of Guns N Roses, recent, coming out at the time . Except that Mike Myers refused, insisted on the sound of Queen and threatened to leave the film. They have yielded, and everybody loves this scene. Winning bet.
Faye Dunaway: “Acting Murder”
Passing for the bastard, no thanks! In the film, she plays Charlene Towne, working in an office where murders and incidents multiply. And she ends up being killed by the serial killer. Later, in the assembly, the director wants to change and make her the killer . She refuses completely, she will not return from the stage. Especially not for that. Finally, it will end as expected and the film will have its success.
Harrison Ford: “The Empire Strikes Back”
The famous scene where Leia tells him “I love you” and his answer, “I know,” comes from him. And unlike the rumors, he did not invent it, improperly. This is something he negotiated before, not at all fond of the original dialogue: “I love you, I could not tell you before it’s true” – “So remember in coach I will be back”. Ford had gone to negotiate directly with Keschner Irvin, who had liked the idea, without talking to Carrie Fisher , who was a little mouth that changes his sentences without touching a word. You would have cleared which without negotiating?

These biopics on women who have marked the history of which no one speaks

sivertime — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:08:53 +0000

We talk about “Jackie” because Natalie Portman shines but we too often forget other films honoring extraordinary women. Here they are.
“Behind every great man hides a woman,” according to a certain expression. And I want to say that the woman does not need to hide sometimes, she is there, alone, in the front row. And she accomplishes extraordinary things too. Here are the films retracing the life of women out of the ordinary of which one does not speak enough and which one must absolutely see.

Tried and convicted of public disorder, the seamstress will be supported by Martin Luther King himself , which will launch a protest movement for equality between blacks and whites. A historical moment in the history of segregation.
Annette Kellermann: film “The First Mermaid”
Yes, there are two “n” normally, his father being German and his name often anglicized for some reason. Born in Sydney on July 6, 1986, this girl with polio will begin to swim under the doctor’s recommendations. And push the thing up to become a professional swimmer (synchronized) and tried to cross the Channel . Even more historical, she militated for women’s right to wear a swimsuit (one piece at the time) and was arrested in 1907 in Boston for indecency. The sports argument was retained by the judge, which was a case law and embodied an enormous advance for women.
Marie curie: three films “A certain young girl” / “Beyond the myth” / “Marie Curie”
Polish (her birth name is Sklodowska) and naturalized French, this physicist and chemist remains a legend. First woman to receive a Nobel Prize (for chemistry in this case) – for work on radiation with her husband Pierre Curie in 1903 – she pocketed a second eight years later, physics, for research on polonium And radium. No woman has done as well, and even better, no winner has won two Nobel in different scientific fields . Oh Mary …
Benazir Bhutto: documentary “Bhutto”
Born in Karachi in a family of politicians, she studied brilliantly and became Minister of Defense of Pakistan in December 1988. Not satisfied, the daughter of the former president accumulates another post: that of Prime Minister. At 35, Benazir Bhutto is the first woman democratically elected to head a country with a Muslim majority.

Her duties as an apprentice nurse and social worker allowed her to pay for her own plane, a biplane Yellow name the Canary. On October 22, 1922, Amelia Earhart set a record: she is the first woman to reach the altitude of 4,300m. It was then the first woman to cross the Atlantic by plane, by June 1928 , despite the marketing side of the operation and its weak role it will denounce saying to have been nothing more than a “potato sack ” the pilot Wilmer Stultz and mechanic Louis Gordon. Unstoppable, it tries the round the World in 1937 but disappears with his colleague, in June, over the Pacific Ocean.
Nadia Comaneci: telefilm “Nadia”
She begins gymnastics in kindergarten and begins real training at seven. Nadia won several regional and then national tournaments before going on to the European Championships in 1975. At thirteen.

Star Wars Rogue One: Jyn Erso, where does his name come from?

sivertime — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 17:30:51 +0000

Why is the main character of Star Wars: Rogue One a woman and why is her name Jyn? As you will see, the reason is far from trivial!

After Star Wars: The Force Alarm , it’s the turn of Star Wars: Rogue One upgrade to a woman as a main character. And what a woman! Jyn Erso is clearly not used to letting oneself walk on her feet and she does not hesitate to plunge headlong into the worst dangers if the situation requires it. It must be said that after being raised by this fanatical warrior of Saw Guerrera, our heroine is rather adorned to face the ordeals. So, there is not much wrong with falling in love with this young woman fired character who ends up joining the Rebel Alliance to honor the memory and sacrifice of his father . And remains moreover very intriguing since it is unclear who Jyn was before fighting for the rebels in Star Wars: Rogue One . Fortunately, we can count on the team of the film to reveal us little by little some details about the character. And today is John Knoll, in charge of special effects at Industrial Light and Magic , which reveals information about Jyn, to find out where the character and how he found his name !
John Knoll, who first submitted to Kathleen Kennedy the idea of telling the theft of the Black Star’s plans in the spin-off, also contributed to the creation of Jyn. For the name, it was inspired by … the women in his life ! He tells so to Yahoo! Movies: ” I wanted the main character of the film is an intelligent, strong and active I have three daughters who are growing and who were very young when I started working on the film I felt.. That one could really use another female character strong and determined for Star Wars.My youngest girl is called Jane and my wife, Jen, so [Jyn] is a bit the result of a mash-up between the two . And when I was a child, I called my aunt Ginny, [a nickname] to Virginia, so there’s a bit of that in the name too. it’s a mixture of all the women in my life . “. Like what, the meltynauts, do not necessarily look far to find inspiration! In any case John Knoll that we must Jyn Erso the existence and the fact that the main character of Star Wars: Rogue One is a woman. On the other hand, he does not tell us anything about his last name. Anyway, Jyn Erso, which is found in the company of Cassian on images deleted scenes from Star Wars: Rogue One , has quite found its place in the universe of the saga! What did you think of Jyn Erso?

Star Wars Rogue One: Who was Jyn Erso before the rebellion?

sivertime — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 17:45:32 +0000

Before being the heroine of Star Wars Rogue One, Jyn Erso had to forge his character. But who was she before the rebellion?

With the spinoff titled Star Wars Rogue One , the writers were able to expand this vast universe created by George Lucas in 77 while creating a strong character Jyn Erso. This member of the Rebels, played by Felicity Jones, has a huge background that could, why not be even more developed in comics or novels around the character ahead of events Rogue One . There are few, ScreenRant was lucky during an event dedicated to the press about Star Wars Rogue One, which could be as big a financial success that The Force Alarm , ask a question Felicity Jones about Jyn Erso’s past . His answer should please you.
“I spend a lot of time thinking about it, I think Jyn is very lonely, she was a little delinquent, she had to grow up without her parents, she had to survive on her own, her only mentor was Saw Gerrera, Can see in the opening of Rogue One.It was her guide, both spiritual and emotional, but that did not stop Jyn from learning life on her own.It is a woman on the defensive in a way. There was a lot of fight in it . “. Confidences which lay the foundations of what could be the past of the heroine of Star Wars Rogue One, who nearly had a different ending . That of a strong character, which had to be built alone to become what it is today. What do you think ?

The Walking Dead Season 7: Negan, a spin-off on the big villain is it possible?

sivertime — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 18:30:17 +0000

Season 7 of The Walking Dead is paused and we take the opportunity to give some reasons why a spin-off on the charismatic Negan could be a very good idea.
February 12 are still waiting and the return of Rick and the others and then we wondered if there is little Michonne would be present in Season 8 of The Walking Dead , but we continue to speculate about a completely different Character this time: Negan. The site Comicbook has indeed listed several rather convincing arguments in favor of a spin-off of the leader of Saviors who, one must admit, already take up much space in season 7 of The Walking Dead. But despite this and despite his cruelty, Negan remains a highly charismatic figure it would be fascinating to learn about through a series centered on him . At the same time funny and unforgiving, his arrival was strongly awaited and force is to note that Jeffrey Dean Morgan proved himself to the height. From the first minutes, the actor convinced us that he could do justice to Negan and that the production team had made the right choice.
By giving a depth and complexity to the character and showing that Negan could explode the skull of a character we adore and make us smile despite us a few minutes later, Jeffrey Dean Morgan gave life to a cult figure Masterful. There is therefore no doubt that telling his story, the origins of Lucille, his past and the transformation he underwent, like all survivors of normal life in post-apocalyptic world would visit . For AMC, the concept would be rather interesting since Negan is part of a franchise that always gathers millions of viewers in front of each episode and the complete history of his character would make it a series that could be placed anywhere in The chronology of the universe The Walking Dead, whether before, during or after the story of Rick and his family.
In addition to being charismatic, the character of Negan has already become a brand all by himself with his leather jacket, his red headband and his famous bat Lucille. But this is not his only feature and another of his personality traits could make the success of a spin-off: his humor. Rare in a world filled with zombies, humor is something we enjoy seeing on our small screens and even more in a dramatic series. Negan and insolence clash in the relatively gloomy decor of The Walking Dead and this could be an asset in addition to a series centered on him . In short, there are no reasons for this, and Robert Kirkman’s original source of information and stories is easily exploitable if AMC ever wanted to take advantage of it. One would not be against even if three series based on a single universe could become a little tiresome if the plots do not follow.
