Tablets, pens … Will they make us zap the paper and the pen?

sivertime — Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:53:02 +0000

Today, the pen has taken on a phenomenal importance in our use of digital. The end of the pen … Myth or reality?
New technologies are flying. Today, with systems like iOS 11 on the iPad Pro 10.5, one wonders whether buying a laptop is still useful . The Ipsos Institute questioned the French about their digital practice, and it can be said that the literary duel VS matheux has a hard life. Whether you’re more like ” Geek ” or rather ” Bed ”, you will not escape the digitization of writing . But are scientists ready for this change? And the literary in all this? MeltyStyle gives you some answers right now.
If the mentees feel ready to give up the pen for the stylus, 80% of the literature is much more shared. But the digitization of the literature is faster than one thinks … In the literary, the pen remains a sure value, the keyboard comes in first position and 36% of them consider switching to the digital pen without problem. Nowadays, the tablets imitate the path of the pen to be mistaken . Is the end of the paper / pen marked?
With 1024 pressure points and a wide choice of mines, the new-generation styluses are easily adapted to touch screens such as those in the Surface range . Surface Pen, Apple Pencil … All these technologies allow us to write naturally on our screens like a sheet of paper, while forgetting the constraints and leaving our creativity free. In fact, we could almost do without the paper and the pen … But rest assured, these tools will not disappear overnight! So, rather keyboard, pen or stylus?

The day … I decided to tell you about my favorite series!

sivertime — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 15:31:01 +0000

You also thought that my favorite series was none other than The Flash? Are you intrigued? So let’s talk about my favorite series ever!
Hello everyone! I hope the heat is not too stuffy and that you spend an excellent weekend end. This week, I decided to give myself more by revealing the name of my favorite series. Yes, the meltynauts, if I often talk about The Flash and my love for Barry Allen , it is yet another universe that has won my favors for life. At the risk of astonishing you a lot, know that my favorite genre is none other than the series of espionage to the point that I even devoted my memory to it. I love spies so much that I tend to convince the whole world to come with me to the movies as soon as a movie of this style is on view. But beware, what I appreciate especially, Is when you can mix very different tones in one and the same show . The emotion, the humor, the drama … and it is besides for this quality and many others still that Burn Notice remains my favorite series ever.
I hear you from here: “Burn what?” : P Do not worry, you’re not the only ones to have missed such a nugget. So I’m not going to lie to you if you do not like the spy series and you love to discover lots of different characters so Burn Notice may not be for you, but if I’ve stung your curiosity , I can assure you, you will not regret the adventure. The show brings together everything that is a wonderful story to my eyes with enough suspense and twists to want to continue to the end as we attach to characters whose depth is absolutely fantastic. Burn Notice tells the story of Michael Westen, a CIA spy whose career is at its peak. Overnight, In the middle of a blanket, he learns that he has been grilled and that everything is taken away. From his money to his reputation, Michael is nothing more in the space of a simple phone call.
Obviously, it is a rather simple pitch but which will very quickly deepen us leading into the tormented life of Michael on the USA . Because its existence has turned exclusively around the CIA for so many years that Miami, his hometown, has become his worst nightmare. So he is forced to go home and find his mother with whom he has a complicated relationship . Without resources, he will have to put himself at the service of those for whom the police can no longer anything and ally with his ex-girlfriend of volcanic nature and Sam, a friend who loves to bask the pill in the sun … and c ‘is all ! The series needs only four characters to convince and believe me, we never get bored at all so long the replies are well written and the characters always just.
Distant, hardened, not gifted with feelings, the series focuses above all to follow its course and its evolution. It is the reconquest of its identity and its investment in the discovery of those who burned it that make Burn Notice so different and so authentic. I do not want to spoil the surprise by going further but I was captivated from the beginning to the end as the format was orginal and well thought out. With a very well-treated voice-over that allows us to better understand Michael’s feelings and to get interesting spy hints, we are immersed in the adventures of our hero but especially in his interiority. If you’ve ever watched Chuck (also brilliant), you’ll only succumb. There is the same comic leg, the same care for the characters, The same love of the replica that kills and stunning investigations . Despite everything, you have to have a penchant for spying to really appreciate but I do not think the series can leave you indifferent at least if you look at the original version. The French version is not at all equal to Michael who is able to change accent, voice, posture and look for its cover.
I personally discovered Burn Notice at a time when I was not at my best, but she taught me to never let myself down. One can be at the lowest, have no hope, feel trapped but there is always a way out and a way out. Especially, the friendship of these characters is exceptional. They are capable of everything for each other and even if Michael sometimes struggles between his dark side and his luminous side, he can count on Fiona and Sam to remind him that he is a good person. Because we can all make questionable choices, the important thing is to realize it and do our best next time. Deeply human, this series is also a cocktail of good humor and right now, we need it .
That’s all for me meltynauts! If you decide to let yourself be tempted, do not hesitate to tell me about it in the comments. I would love to discuss it with you. I’ll meet you on July 2 next for a new column and by then, take care of you <3 And you, what is your favorite series ever?

Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry … these stars involved in politics!

sivertime — Sun, 07 May 2017 19:38:06 +0000

Citizen, citizen … On this big day of the second round of the presidential election, it’s time to move your popotin and go vote (if you can). You do not really have any ideas? No biggie, the stars have already chosen for you. Yes, politics is a real showbiz and the ricans know it very well …
The big day is finally here! At the end of the day, we will know the identity of the new President of the French Republic. If this year again, the debates were quite hot potato, it’s nothing compared to our American friends. When they support a candidate, they go strong! T-shirt, posters, flag … in short, the States what! So yes, you may feel like you’re in an episode of House of Cards most of the time, but you have to admit it’s pretty stylish. And our dear friends of politics know that to win the heart of their country, they must have the hearts of the stars. Yes, on the other side of the Atlantic, politics is like the showbiz. Either you get to entertain and it works, or you go home Enrico Macias (Gad Elmaleh, get out of this body). As we saw in the last presidential election in the United States, the two candidates for the White House, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, were supported by many celebrities . Engaged like ja-ja, these people went to the ring to put their opponent KO …
Katy Perry
Between Katy Perry, who is angry at Orlando Bloom , and Hillary Clinton, it was a true love story! FYI, the singer still sent the candidate shoes she had imagined in her honor #BFF, normal what! The interpreter of “Bon appétit” also gave a show a few days before the election … of Donald Trump! Yes, sorry Katy!
Kanye West
Only a few days after the election of Donald Trump, the rapper Kanye West went to meet him in the Trump Tower in New York. Between a corner smile and warm embrace, the president-elect seemed very happy with the star’s support. This would even have given some ideas to the interpreter of “Famous”. Kanye for 2020? That means Kim K in First Lady … Um … yeah but no! In any case, this meeting did not really please his dear and tender.
Kim Kardashian
Eeeh yes, Kim K saw red! On the Web, the star of reality TV The Incredible Kardashian Family has clearly expressed its support for Hillary Clinton. When she learned that Kanye had gone to meet Donald Trump, she really was, but then really not happy! Well, for a while, she made flippers his fans with a post that said the opposite. Unlike her husband, Kim Kardashian supported Hillary Clinton. Sorry also Kim!
Jean Claude Van Damme
What? You were not aware that Jean-Claude Van Damme was for Donald Trump ? The Belgian actor, who visited the Grand Journal in March 2016, said: “Donald Trump is a gentleman who does business, who loves his country, who loves his people . ” We say thank you who? Thank you Jean-Claude for your analysis! Here, there you go
Beyonce
To support Hillary Clinton, Beyoncé, about to give birth , and her husband Jay Z have seen things big! The most famous couple in the world had organized a huge support concert in Cleveland in honor of the Democratic candidate. While many celebrities made a short appearance during the show, it was Queen B’s speech that marked the spirits: “We must think about the future of our daughters and sons, and vote for someone who holds To them as much as we ourselves, and that is why I am behind her . ” Admit, you have a little tear to the eye!
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady
The doubt still hangs over one of the most glamorous couples in Hollywood. In an interview, President Donald Trump made it clear that the quaterback supported him loud and clear: “I said ‘Tom, if you support me, can I say it publicly tonight in front of this huge crowd of New Hampshire? ‘ He replied, ‘If you want to say, then say so ” . Woven fabric or hidden truth? A few days later, beautiful Gisele made big eyes and tweeted a message claiming she was against the Republican candidate’s program. Coincidence? Come on, we leave them the benefit of the doubt!

IPhone 8: Banned from selling in the US because of Qualcomm?

sivertime — Fri, 05 May 2017 15:14:46 +0000

New beating between Apple and Qualcomm that risks blocking sales of iPhone 8 in the US. Looks like the Americans will have to wait for their iPhone 8 longer than expected …
It seems that Qualcomm wants to be more royalist than the king … And even that he has a tooth against Apple, which does not date from yesterday. The two firms have been in open war for some time. The Apple criticizes the manufacturer for the cost of its royalties and has decided to cut off his food. But Qualcomm does not intend to let itself go and has therefore threatened to block sales of its iPhone 8 on US territory. The guigne for Apple … Already that the release of its iPhone 8 is likely to be postponed for a month or two .
But is it credible for a second? A ban on sales in the US would be a fiasco for Apple which realizes 40% of its turnover. The case went far, and a complaint was even filed with the Federal Trade Commission. If Qualcomm tries to stay upright in his pumps, Apple releases the violins denouncing the means ” unfair ” implemented by the firm to claim his dues. Will after this case, Apple will have to do without Qualcomm services as it could do with LG Display ? We’ll see. What do you think of this quarrel between Apple and Qualcomm?

House of Cards season 5: 3 things to remember from the explosive trailer!

sivertime — Wed, 03 May 2017 18:17:31 +0000

Discover what to remember about the season 5 trailer of House of Cards, which will be available on Netflix as of May 30th.
This month, Netflix will regale us with the new seasons of Sense8, Master of None and House of Cards . So we’ll have a lot of series to watch – but honestly, it does not bother anyone – and we’re looking forward to seeing the rest of our favorite Netflix series. Among them there is, as we said, House of Cards , of which Netflix will unveil the fifth season on May 30th . And to prepare us psychologically, the platform of SVOD finally unveiled the trailer of this new season, and you can discover it below! This year, the wait was longer than expected to return to the series, as it is usually broadcast in February or March.
In view of the images of this trailer, there is no doubt that this new chapter in the history of the Underwood looks equally – if not more – gloomy than the previous ones. Since the images scroll at a crazy pace, the editor of melty offers to discover the three elements that must be remembered of this trailer. First of all, Frank is more pitiless and disdainful than ever towards his American fellow citizens . While the United States undergoes Trump’s regime, it seems that House of Cards does not leave its share to the dog and takes the opportunity to bring its critical point of view on the current American situation, via the character of Frank Underwood himself – it is only necessary to listen to his speech . There are also signs of demonstrators, one of which says “Not my President” , the same slogan was used after the election of Donald Trump. More than ever Frank is ready to do anything to win this election, even if the strong way is to be used. Moreover, many images of violence are shown, which reinforces the idea that this is not going to be an easy and joyful season.
Then, it is clear that manipulations, conspiracies and machinations will remain vigorous. The character of Michael Kelly, Doug, seems still to be embarked in unclear stories, which will lead him perhaps even to plunge into alcohol … And who says conspiracies and machinations, says necessarily that there will always be People to try to find the truth, like Tom Hammerschmidt, the editor of the Washington Herald that we can see investigating. Finally, in spite of marital problems in season 4, the Underwood seem to be more united than ever in order to remain at the head of the world’s first power for the next four years – and more so affinities . However, it can also be seen that they will continue to have extra-marital relationships, Including Frank with a new lover, who for the moment is unknown to us. If many things are still mysterious, we are really looking forward to this season 5 of House of Cards, which has new casting actors . What do you think of this trailer?

In fact, it’s not always good to make the headlines for a film

sivertime — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 15:28:51 +0000

Some insist that the essential thing is to be cited, at the center of attention. No matter what. These films prove that it is better to avoid scandals anyway.
A bit like the concept of notoriety in marketing and advertising to excess. All that matters is to impose the brand name in people’s minds, as the name comes out automatically. What remains a risky bet, in terms of results. These films, whether voluntarily or not, have experienced it. Which turned out to be rather unfortunate.
Galoche and spouses cocus in “Snow White and the hunter”
That actors and other members of the shoot get caught, it happens. Everyone knows it, it’s part of the folklore, limit. It’s almost a surprise when nothing happens. But hey, there is a minimum … There both were maqued and had to grill to cheese. Actress Kristen Stewart was in a couple with Robert Pattinson, director Rupert Sander married with two kids . Public apology, declaration of love respective with their spouses … then separation not long after. Oops, a little scandal that overshadowed the film.
White everywhere to have more money in “Exodus Gods and Kings”
First problem: Ridley Scott did not hire any Egyptian actor, which vexed some and surprised others, for a question of coherence, given the story. Alas, it could have happened. Except that the justifications were worse. The director has plainly explained that it was better not to have actors named Mohammed xx of xx to see his film financed as he wants and can, to the maximum. For the moment, it was in Spain. So, do you have to take the “right” actors to get the taxes, etc?
The death of the main actor in “The Crow”
The stupid accident. Very stupid. A scene had to be shot where Michael Masse was shooting Brandon Lee, almost at close range, in the chest. Obviously, with a forgery, respecting rules, etc. Except that there was a mistake, that the false gun was a real one and that it was badly cleaned . So the blank cartridge sent out real cartridge debris and Lee was taken away by losing a few liters of blood. And he stayed there …
The helicopter crash and the drama in “Twilight Zone: the movie”
Vic Morrow was a renowned actor and was logically called to participate in this film with large budget. Playing a guy who travels through time and observing the various wars, he had to play a scene where he saved two children. Helping them cross a river, pursued by a helicopter and surrounded by explosions. Poor tuning, an explosion was too close to the helicopter that was embossed on the actors … Morrow and a kid were beheaded, the other drowned. Fucking, horrible. Director Jon Landis has seen his career take a turn after that.
The White man saves the other incapables in “The Great Wall”
A bit like in Exodus, turning a lot of whites when it is not coherent is a little embarrassing. But there was diversity, fortunately. Asian actors took their place, normal. Except that the savior, bah it was Matt Damon . Very white. From classic to what, the white man who saves other ethnicities. And bad publicity for the film.
The hacking of Sony Data in “The Interview”
James Franco and Seth Rogen had rather us accustomed to jokes not eggs and comedies unpretentious. Which also has its success, quiet. This time, they were aiming higher, without perhaps realizing it. With their comedy where they plan to have Kim Jong-Un assassinated, they upset North Korea and hackers. Threatening to cause cinema and other retaliation have discouraged Sony, so the film came out in very few rooms, few people have seen it (except by downloading it) and its reputation is limited to this story. Have you seen any of these, or have you limited yourself to scandal?

Mac Miller explosive without Ariana Grande, Travis Scott sets fire, missed concert for Radiohead … First day at Coachella 2017

sivertime — Sun, 16 Apr 2017 18:40:33 +0000

Experience the Coachella experience with melty, which is currently the most popular festival in the US! The concerts of Mac Miller, Travis Scott, Radiohead … It’s all right now!
Under the California sun, everything is allowed, especially when it comes to our first adventure in Coachella . With its survival kit to live the festival thoroughly, the editor of melty was finally ready to go at two-thirty (without counting the endless traffic jams) of Los Angeles to get lost among the hundreds of palm trees in Indio. This is the year that takes place the most Cool festival of the planet: Coachella . So how’s that in real life? Are your favorite celebrities getting into selfie right next to you in incognito mode? Which artists should not be missed in 2017? Coachella in real life from the United States, melty is there at the moment and we tell you the first day ultra intense that ”
First impressive impression from our arrival at Indio: it makes very very very (very) warm. After driving for hours in the traffic jam, retrieving our pass, driving another 30 minutes to the Empire Polo Club, walking 2-3 miles and passing a lot of security gantry, we finally arrive in paradise … Sorry to Coachella. The photos were not misleading, the place is really incredible with its wheel placed at the entrance of the festival, dozens of small tents, modern architecture and especially its already boosted atmosphere. It is as if once the last barriers have passed, festival-goers from all over the world could be themselves. For all those who are music fans like us, Coachella is the ultimate pilgrimage, unrealizable dream, The paradisiacal place par excellence . And with the 2017 programming, despite the last minute cancellation of PNL , our coming was even more exciting!
Once the different scenes of Coachella are appropriate (thanks to the plan especially), one decides to make of input the unique experience proposed this year by HP: The Antarctic. True visual immersion, we see ourselves evolving in extraordinary universes for 3-4 minutes. At least it was done! Disappointed to have missed Sampha (again the fault of the plugs), we console ourselves seeing the time pass that announces the beginning of the concert of Mac Miller . In the middle of the crowd, we take our first American bath between the smoke and the sweat of the hyperactive fans. And thin, we should have put on other sneakers if we had known that the rapper would repeat “Jump” at least twenty times during his live. Taking again his classics “Dang!” , “Congratulations” or “When In Rome” we waited for Mac to bring his girlfriend Ariana Grande to interact with her “My Favorite Part” , but it did not happen … Maybe Justin Bieber or Daft Punk for the Next Coachella guest surprises in the weekend?
Warmed up by the concert, we then headed to the Outdoor Theater to see La Flame. We’re talking about Travis Scott, who is currently exploding in the US (we only hear him, Drake and Kendrick over there on the radio). If the beginning of the concert is laborious (autotune, its not terrible) scenography catches up and the rapper’s usual energy spreads in the burning crowd. Twenty minutes later, we do not get what’s going on, but it gets completely crazy. Taking his hits “90210” , “Mamacita” , “Pick Up The Phone” and the final “Goosebumps” , Travis Scott also allows himself to climb a giant eagle (ridiculous and brilliant) where he takes advantage to impose his ego . Will it be the US rapper mellor in the making? We ask ourselves the question, so it’s a good sign (even if Kendrick Lamar who could release a new surprise album flies very far). Just after, we see the end of the Empire Of The Sun concert, just in time to hear the timeless “Walking On A Dream” and another cool title to finish the set. Too bad to have missed the rest but it is also that Coachella: make difficult choices for concerts . So it’s a good sign (even if Kendrick Lamar who could release a new surprise album flies very far). Just after, we see the end of the Empire Of The Sun concert, just in time to hear the timeless “Walking On A Dream” and another cool title to finish the set. Too bad to have missed the rest but it is also that Coachella: make difficult choices for concerts . So it’s a good sign (even if Kendrick Lamar who could release a new surprise album flies very far). Just after, we see the end of the Empire Of The Sun concert, just in time to hear the timeless “Walking On A Dream” and another cool title to finish the set. Too bad to have missed the rest but it is also that Coachella: make difficult choices for concerts .
The atmosphere gets refreshed, fatigue comes but we find the energy to see the mythical Radiohead on the big stage of the festival. And it is the drama: no sound comes out of the scene. To hear people talk about us, it’s been several times that it happens in a few minutes. Harsh blow: Radiohead will not even be able to sing a song in its entirety for its audience (without realizing it) after full of unpleasant noises coming from the amps. A break is necessary, to better return with a Thom Yorke very captivating. We ended the first day with the cool DRAM and that was the best idea we had! In addition to her charisma, her voice and her grooves, Big Baby is funny on stage. We all liked his set (very short because of a delay): buttocks rebounded scattered on the screens in his way to move up obviously his tube “Broccoli” was the concert we needed To finish the day perfectly. See you tomorrow for our adventures in Coachella! What artists do you dream of seeing at Coachella?

After the Galaxy Note 7, you will soon no longer be able to use your iPad or MacBook in a plane!

sivertime — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 17:51:20 +0000

If you usually use your MacBook, iPad or other laptops, tablets in the cabin of an airplane, you will probably be disillusioned. After the Galaxy Note 7, anything bigger than an iPhone 7 Plus could disappear from the cabins.
In 2017, you really have to hurry to catch the plane. Since March 21, the United States and Great Britain have forbidden the use of laptop computers and tablets in the cabin of airline planes destined for their country and from certain Arab countries and Turkey . And of course, both administrations have invoked a risk of “terrorist” attacks . But this decision should not make the happiness of businessmen … and not that they. If you are lucky enough to fly often, you’re used to using your MacBook or iPad (the new 9.7-inch version is cheaper than expected) to watch clips or a series.
In the eyes of the Americans and the English, the problem is not really at the level of the terminal itself. The real problem is that this electronic device can be used to conceal explosive devices without being detected by airport security systems. If the United States and Great Britain have already applied this decision, other European countries, notably France, would be thinking about it. But for the time being, no decision has been taken at the level of the European Aviation Safety Agency. One thing is for sure, the future of tablets and laptops in aircraft cabins is dotted. Until then, you can discover our 3 good reasons to shopper a Galaxy Tab S3.

Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Eminem … Map of the most listened artists by State in the USA

sivertime — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 19:42:15 +0000

Surprisingly, this map shows which artists are most listened to in the US, in their home state. Unsurprisingly, Kanye West, Mariah Carey and Eminem are in the game!
Surprise, surprise! While you were told there within minutes as Britney Spears and Rihanna are part of the ranking of the People’s Choice Awards 2017 , there are other artists who have something to smile today. Yes, the site Brilliant Maps has recently shared map (made by a redditor) of the most influential artists in the United States and it is clear that some names make us more than happy. As the site makes clear, Madonna, Prince or Elvis Presley are particularly popular in only one state. The reason ? It’s simple! This map highlights the most popular artists in the state in which they originate . Although the site does not clearly explain how the card was produced and what criteria were chosen, it goes without saying that the number of records sold and the impact of artists on radio were important factors.
Of course, we are the first delighted that Kanye West is the most listened artist Georgia , State where it originates. For the small reminder, Kim Kardashian’s husband was born on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta. Besides, the popularity of Hawaii Bruno Mars will surprise no one since, as Barack Obama, the interpreter of “24K Magic” was born in Honolulu. And while you were offered there is little to discover the first performance of the Fifth Harmony without Camila Cabello the People’s Choice Awards 2017 , you will notice that Lil Wayne is a hit Louisiana, The Fray is tops in Colorado, the Backstreet Boys prevail in Florida, Michael Jackson is the star of Indiana, Toni Braxton top in Maryland, Madonna is the queen of Michigan, the Prince of Minnesota star Elvis Presley and the god of the Mississippi . Add to this Eminem in Missouri, The Killers in Nevada, Whitney Houston in New Jersey, Wiz Khalifa in North Dakota, Mariah Carey in New York and Taylor Swift in Pennsylvania! And you, what do you think of this card?

Trump, do not disconnect, let us the evil Russians in the movies

sivertime — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 19:16:52 +0000

For a work to be of high quality and well received by the public, it must respect certain codes. We provide benchmarks. For American films, it is the Russian villain.
It has been going on for decades and we never get tired of it. The blow of the big bad guy Russian fucker shit without faith nor law, nor heart, nor anything else. Man, woman, old, young, beautiful, ugly: no matter. If the character is Russian, beware as there is a bastard . Here are a few that have marked us.
Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) in “Rocky IV”
Impenetrable, it looks like a robot. The guy does not feel anything, shows nothing but hatred and a constant desire to destroy those who put himself in his path. When he gets into the ring, he wants to kill. Best of all, it is a cheater who prides steroids to gain muscle . Bouuuuh, shame, Rocky the nice, it’s only natural, unremitting training and sweat.
Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman) in “Air Force One”
Leader of a terrorist nationalist Soviet Union – a tautology in this kind of film – Ivan Korshunov hijacks a plane commander and behaves like a jackal , especially against the president States played by Harrison Ford. Released in 1997, the subject still resonated perfectly, not long after the official end of the Cold War.
Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett) in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”
Not the best of the saga, that’s for sure, but the performance of Cate Blanchett remains rather good. With a strong focus and well flared sentences, it embodies the basic Russian, boorish, belligerent, cold . Even when it comes to a physically intelligent young woman. A Soviet remains a brothel soviet.
With the cup of Mireille Mathieu, great star in Russia. Logic.
Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) in “Iron Man 2”
His father, Anton, was an illustrious scientist who helped Tony Stark’s father, Howard, build the ARC reactor. Like father like son, Ivan inherited his intelligence and his hatred for Stark . And his passage in a Russian prison obviously only made him more gruff and strange.
Lev Andropov (Peter Stormare) in “Armageddon”
In the quasi-suicide mission launched to save the earth from an enormous asteroid supposed to crash, this is the most breakout guy. The colonel Andropov, craft cosmonaut, does not tolerate amateurism or the behavior of other lads sent with him . Asocial, the guy wants to fix everything by being violent. An iron breaker without any softness or finesse.
Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) in “Good Kisses from Russia”
Usually women want to finish with James Bond. No Rosa (and some others in the 25 films), who wants more than anything to plant 007 with his hidden blade in his boot . Although she is not clearly presented as a representative of the USSR (to pronounce the urce please), Rosa is nevertheless in direct and secret relation with the SMERSH and SPECTER, organizations and tools of the communist superpower .
Alexei de Sadeski (Peter Bull) in “Doctor Folamour”
A Soviet ambassador to the United States, Sadeski acts as an intermediary between the US President and the Prime Minister of the USSR in their mutual will to annihilate themselves through nuclear weapons. Rather quiet, reasonable and predictable, it still ends up fuck bread in the mouth of General Turgidson .
Colonel Podovsky (Steven Berkoff) in “Rambo 2: Mission”
Wherever they could, these bastards of communist came to shit the ricans. Including Asia and Vietnam, specifically. Podovsky is a pal as a pig with the northern Vietnamese and runs a camp in which American soldiers are detained. Which Rambo, whom he tortures with application. Here, we have closed the loop, beginning and concluding with this good old Sly. Who wants to continue seeing evil Russians?

Lady Gaga at Super Bowl 2017, a dangerous performance to foresee

sivertime — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 18:50:51 +0000

What is Lady Gaga preparing for the 2017 Super Bowl? The superstar would have seen things big and his performance looks dangerous …
While the identity of a surprise guest seemed already to reveal the Super Bowl in 2017 , today we discover new details about the performance of Lady Gaga during halftime of the mythical event . On 5 February, all eyes are indeed fixed on the interpreter of “The Edge of Glory” which will show in front of millions of viewers live NRG Stadium Houston (Texas). And apparently, the superstar saw things big for his participation in the 51 st Super Bowl! Lady Gaga would like to sing on the roof of the stadium and since then, technicians and lawyers would work hard to ensure that her ambitious plan is feasible.
A dangerous idea that does not really surprise the fans of Lady Gaga! As she wants to mark the story of the Super Bowl in turn, the American singer is ready for anything. A source says that “his team is concerned” about the safety of the artist who is not afraid to risk his life. “They are doing many plans for her safe on the roof, potentially including a hole in the dome ceiling” , said the source. In any case, the performance of Lady Gaga during the half-time of the Super Bowl promises to be already memorable! We will of course be the first to follow the event live in the night. More good news: Lady Gaga is back in the studio, this time with the producer of Rihanna . What do you expect from Lady Gaga’s performance?

They are less big and expensive than George Lucas Museum but they deserve a visit

sivertime — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 17:42:59 +0000

Not all museums dedicated to cinema have the same means or do not follow the same objectives. And that’s good ! While waiting for that of Lucas, go see these.

“It’s not a question of means” , as so aptly Gérard Darmon (aka Amonbofils) in “Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra”. And we will give it right here by presenting you the best cinema museums to visit throughout the world. Obviously, the budget influences the possibilities, but some do quite well without spending huge sums .
The Mad Max Museum
An interest that became a passion then downright an obsession. Adrian Bennett’s so loved the second part of the saga, shot in 1981 with Mel Gibson, he did move his family to Silverton , a clueless town in the Australian outback where scenes were filmed. Since then, he collects objects and builds replicas of vehicles such as the Interceptor, and it attracts its share of tourists.
The Hollywood Museum
We go to the opposite extreme. An enormous thing, mega expensive, held by the film industry itself … Which does not stop to recognize its interest. Scenarios, sets, costumes: you find everything. And above all, for decades, from silent films to blockbusters and other superhero films of today. On four floors, you will see more than 10,000 original pieces. Examples: Marylin’s dress, the cell of Hannibal Lecter in The silence of the lambs or the boxing gloves of Rocky.
The Lord of the Rings Museum
After being highlighted by a temporary exhibition in museums around the world, the trilogy now has its own permanent exhibition space. In Wellington, New Zealand, sets and costumes are shown to the public . Not to mention the mini-museum called “The Weta Cave” offering a tour of the shooting locations.
The Rancho Obi-Wan Museum
Founded by Steve Sansweet in Petaluna, California in 1998, this museum contains the largest collection of private objects dedicated to Star Wars. At present, we already count more than 300 000 pieces, for all episodes of the first in 1977 at 7, “The strength wakes up”, 2015 . Besides that, it offers visits to schools to introduce young people to this universe
The guy tells it with his bare hands, ah there it makes the guy eh.
The museum 007
The work of a fan, again. In this case Gunnar Schäfer, a Swede. So, normal, he opened it in Nybro, in his country. This museum is the first dedicated to the British spy and no less than 60,000 original pieces of films in the franchise . Like the snow scooter of “Die Another Day”, the BMW Z3 of “Goldeneye” and the early versions of the novels of the creator, novelist Ian Fleming.
The French cinematheque
Beyond all chauvinism Thierry Roland (and he was right to make us kiffer, compared to CJP), this museum remains a place to see for any lover of cinema. The film library is one of the largest and most expensive collections that exists, not surprising given the archives accumulated since 1936 . Small more stylish: the daily screenings and retrospectives of outstanding films, as well as the huge bookstore. Thanks to Henri Langlois and Georges Franju.
The Ghibli Museum
Close to Tokyo, in Mitaka, since 2001 it welcomes the fans of the films created by this famous Japanese animation studio. And you go about really good because the building was designed by Hayao Miyazaki, the director of that studio . At the entrance, you see a huge Totoro, inside you can walk as you please (it is even encouraged by the slogan “Lose us together”) or watch short films in the room Saturn. So, you want to go see what?
