Another fire has broken out at Tyler Perry Studios in southwest Atlanta. Atlanta firefighters were on the scene late Monday morning working to put out…
My name is Megan, I’m from Long Island and I’m 15 years old. My friend Joli and I had always wanted to meet Justin, and since he would be in the city all week we made it a priority that we would at least see him. On Wednesday, June 20th, my dad, my step mom Joli, and I, drove into the city to go to the Z100 studios. We drove around all of NYC for 4 hours looking for the studio. We tried calling, texting, and asking random people on the street if anyone knew where they were and no one knew. We all thought we weren’t ever going to find it. Joli felt the need to call z100 and see if they would answer. As we were about to leave the city, a guy named Trey (@ItsTreyMorgan) answered the phone and gave us directions on how to get to the studio! We finally arrived at the studio at around 11 pm. I was SO happy that we finally made it. My step mom left, and my dad stayed with me and my friend to sleep the night . There were 2 girls in front of us, who we made friends with and we all waited together. We waited up all night, just to hear about Justin Bieber. People inside the studios came out and asked the four of us for pictures because we were such dedicated fans. We couldn’t believe it was only the four of us. Around 2 am, two more girls arrived who we all became friends with. The six of us waited all night, without sleeping, outside of the z100 studios to just catch a glimpse of Justin. When it finally hit around 6 am, a lot more people came who started being rude and obnoxious and made the security guards put up barricades. Finally, it was 7:30am. We all thought that Justin would come early, or take some pictures. But at 7:45, Justin, Kenny, Moshi, Bruce, and some random driver all exited out of one black escalade. Justin smiled, and touched some fans before he rushed into the studios. I was lucky enough to have stuck my arm out enough for him to grab it! After Justin arrived, Alfredo and Allison arrived in a different black escalade. Everyone went crazy for them! After his interview was over, more people started showing up and trying to make up excuses not to stand in the barricades. At around 10:00am all of Justin and his team finally came out. I ended up taking a picture with Bruce (Justin’s grandpa), Kenny, and Alfredo. They are all the sweetest guys in the world. I told Kenny I was obsessed with him, and he laughed at me. Justin took pictures with a lot of fans and I was really nervous he wasn’t going to be able to take mine. He was one the other side of the barricades and I looked at him and begged him to come over to our side. He finally came over and took pictures with a lot of people before me. When he finally got to me the crowd behind him was insane. He looked behind him and his security team almost forced him to go back to the truck. I stuck my camera out, and he moved over to me and smiled. Me and Justin Bieber took a picture together! He smiled at me after it was done, and I thanked him and told him he was amazing. After taking a picture with my friend, Justin was forced to leave because the crowd was insane behind him. They were almost trampling him. Everyone got back into the escalades and speeded away. Some girls tried to sprint after it, but none of them could keep up with how fast it was going. After crying over the reality of the situation, I got interviewed by z100 so many times. It was definitely fate. I never stopped believing in my dream coming true. And since 09, I finally get to say. I’ve met Justin Drew Bieber. Never Say Never. -@manitsbieber See more here: My name is Megan, I’m from Long Island and I’m 15…
OK, so I’ve been out-of-the-loop the last two days getting over a nasty cold. This forced me to stay in bed, ponder all the mistakes I’ve made in my life (I’m sorry to my 5th grade basketball coach for mouthing off in practice), and watch YouTube videos on my tablet. This allowed me to catch-up on all the great stuff SBN Studios (Twitter: @ SBNStudios ) has been putting out of late, and by “great stuff”… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Stampede Blue Discovery Date : 24/05/2012 15:02 Number of articles : 2

” By 2013 , film will slip to niche status, shown in only a third of theaters. By 2015, used in a paltry 17 percent of global cinemas, venerable old 35 mm film will be mostly gone.” The epic life and death struggle between film and digital rolls on, and in LA Weekly’s cover story must-read Gendy Alimurung details the sobering — and imminent — sea change in film production and exhibition with insights from figures at every stop on the cinematic food chain: Filmmakers, arthouse/rep theaters, film curators, projectionists, preservationists, and even the cold, lonely (and increasingly studio-blocked) vaults that house the dwindling ranks of cinema’s remaining 35mm prints. “Digital is the future!” you might say. “It’s cheaper and looks just as good as film!” Great taste, less filling, etc. Many a sentimental plea has been made on behalf of 35mm: The way things are going, repertory houses will find their programming options limited to the smattering of popular titles studio vaults make available. There’s that distinguishable living quality to film, with its pops and hisses and beloved imperfections, that digital prints just can’t replicate. Or, as Edgar Wright suggests, shooting on costlier film changes the relationship a director has to the process itself: “Because when you hear the camera whirring, you know that money is going through it. There’s a respectfulness that comes when you’re burning up film.” Most of that’s already been argued, but Alimurung takes pains to appeal to the pragmatic side of digital cheerleaders by pointing out what many proponents of digital film and its many admitted benefits (lower cost, ease of production, cheaper distribution methods) seldom have an answer for: the long-term hazards of going exclusively digital. “The main problem is format obsolescence. File formats can go obsolete in a matter of months. On this subject, [UCLA Film & Television Archive director Jan-Christopher Horak’s] every sentence requires an exclamation mark. “In the last 10 years of digitality, we’ve gone through 20 formats!” he says. “Every 18 months we’re getting a new format!” So every two years, data must be transferred, or “migrated,” to a new device. If that doesn’t happen, the data may never being accessible again. Technology can advance too far ahead.” But the demands and costs of constant technological upgrades aren’t the only issue with the industry moving exclusively to digital. “In the digital realm, the archivist’s mantra, “Store and ignore,” fails. If you don’t “refresh,” or occasionally turn on a hard drive, it stops working. You can’t just stick it on a shelf and forget about it. As restorationist Ross Lipman says, ‘You’re shifting from a model focused on a physical object to data. And where the data lives will be constantly changing.'” What’s saddest is that there isn’t an easy solution to be offered other than appealing to the studios (and, it’s worth noting, the vast majority of allied theater chains represented by the National Association of Theater Owners) to leave room for niche 35mm film culture to live on while their charge into the digital future continues. Major changes are in store for everyone — not just the studios, or the theater owners, or the increasingly obsolete ranks of actual trained projectionists, or the ticket-buyers. So yes, a storm’s coming. What can be done about it? Discuss. [ LA Weekly ] Photo: Julia Marchese of the New Beverly Cinema, Jennie Warren for LA Weekly
Man, Spike Lee sure has a potty mouth: Spike Lee had a message for the Sundance festival crowd at tonight’s world premiere of his new film, “Red Hook Summer”: “Please tell them that this is not a motherf**king sequel to ‘Do the Right Thing’!” That’s what people had been saying, mostly to fill the vacuum of information surrounding the movie. All anyone seemed to know was that it was set in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, that it followed a 13-year-old boy (newcomer Jules Brown) and his preacher grandfather (played by ‘The Wire’ veteran Clarke Peters), and that it featured the return of Mookie, Lee’s pizza-delivering character from his trailblazing 1989 movie about tensions boiling over in the summer heat. Lee, who took the stage for the post-screening Q&A draped in New York Giants regalia and immediately declared that the audience had “doubled the black population of Utah — maybe tripled it,” prefers to think of “Red Hook Summer” as “another installment in my great chronicles of Brooklyn,” a series that includes “She’s Gotta Have It,” Do the Right Thing,” “Clockers” and “Crooklyn.” “We never went to the studios with this film, I told you!” he shouted. “We said, ‘Were gonna do this motherf**king film ourselves and show it at Sundance…. This whole thing was planned out.” Of the studios, he added, “They know nothing about black people. And they gonna give me notes about what a young black boy and girl gonna do in Red Hook? F**k no! We had to do it ourselves!” Make sure y’all support Spike and his film! Source More On Bossip!
