Patrick Stewart's Ice Bucket Challenge Is A Lesson In Class, Dignity, Humor


This Film Narrated By Leo DiCaprio Presents A Clear Climate Change Solution: Price Carbon

green world rising



By Leila Conners -- Tree Media

Ahead of the 2014 UN Climate Summit on Sept. 23, "Carbon" attempts to move the debate forward, exploring how governments worldwide are putting a price on carbon through carbon trading or carbon taxes. "Carbon" is the first film in Green World Rising, a four-part series narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio that focuses on climate change challenges and solutions.

Given the alarming list of severe climate impacts in the Arctic, in the South Seas and in places closer to home like New York City and California, and in light of the business-as-usual attitude that still prevails, resulting in increasingly dangerous levels of carbon in our atmosphere, we believe that getting the word out on the solutions and risks is critical. All four films create a whole picture, from the path forward to the peril we face if we don't take action.

We begin the series with "Carbon," a solution to keeping carbon in the ground. We then move to "Green World Rising" on the technologies that will power our future and "Restoration," on the earth's capacities to heal and reverse the damage. We end with "Last Hours," a look at a scenario we can avoid if we all work together and take the necessary steps to stop carbon emissions.

Let’s stop pirouetting on the edge of disaster and come together to implement the changes we know we need to make -- changes that have been on the shelf for years. We just need the will to implement them. These changes will create a sustainable world that will not only be cleaner, healthier, and more economically robust, but one that will also be viable, safer and secure, a world in which our children’s children -- and let’s think seven generations coming -- will thrive.

Along with DiCaprio and Thom Hartmann, this film series is backed by the website greenworldrising.org, which has a list of real solutions to the biggest challenge that faces humanity.

'Doctor Who' Season Premiere Review: The TARDIS Returns With A Pleasing Adventure

0
0
With the launch of a season of "Doctor Who"-- complete with a new Doctor -- and the debut of the spooky drama "Intruders," things are busy over at BBC America this weekend.

First, the good news: Saturday's season premiere of "Doctor Who" is largely wonderful. (Below, I mention some familiar "Doctor Who" characters you'll see in the season premiere, but there are no spoilers in what follows.)

"Deep Breath" is a bit of an ungainly beast, but then, episodes introducing a new Doctor are always outliers. They've got to get newbies up to speed on who the Doctor and his companion are, they've got provide the usual interstellar or Earth-based adventure, and they've got to show what's new, different and (ideally) awesome about this particular incarnation of the character. Fans quite rightly loved Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor, and it's a tricky balancing act to let a new actor bring his own flavor to the role while paying tribute not just to Smith's performance but the 51-year history of the franchise.

The new Doctor, veteran character actor Peter Capaldi, and the show's current executive producer/showrunner, Steven Moffat, appear to be keenly aware of these concerns, but the good news is that they don't let them bog the episode down. There is a welcome weighty quality to this week's adventure tale, but its sense of substance comes from embracing the rich potential of the character's depth, not from overstuffing the hour with an excess of "clever" meta-commentary.

The villains of the week aren't especially memorable -- they serve their purpose reasonably well, and that's about it -- but they aren't the reason fans will be tuning in, especially this week. The point of the season premiere, which functions as something of a reboot, is to give Capaldi a chance to show what he can bring to the role, and he rises to that challenge beautifully.

If you're not familiar with Capaldi's extensive resume, he's one of those quietly masterful actors who really and truly can do anything. Thirty-one years ago, he turned in a gently comic performance in one of my favorite movies of all time, "Local Hero," and his most iconic role may be that of the volcanically angry political fixer Malcolm Tucker in "The Thick of It," a caustic comedy from "Veep" creator Armando Iannucci. Over the years, Capaldi, a mainstay of U.K.-based TV and film, has popped up in everything from "World War Z" to "Torchwood" and "The Hour," typically playing intelligent, wily characters who don't suffer fools gladly but who also exude a palpable decency.

Those are among the traits he brings to the Doctor, as well as delicious comic timing. Despite the actor's facility with the lighter aspects of the show, the wisest thing Moffat has done is play up the subtle pathos Capaldi brings to the role. This is an older Doctor with more miles on him and a face made to display flashes of regret. All of the current-era Doctors have done a good job of hinting at the anger and darkness that lurks behind the Doctor's larky facade, but Capaldi brings a welcome element of yearning melancholy to the Twelfth Doctor. The Doctor has been around for 2,000 years or so, and Capaldi has the gravitas and the presence to remind us of that fact in almost every scene -- and to make us wonder just how far this Doctor is willing to go in his quest to help those who need saving.

One of the most surprising things about the season premiere is how emotionally direct it is; there have been some exceptions, but it's been Moffat's style to skirt around, deflect or outright avoid intense personal moments for the characters. Previous companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) allowed the show to occasionally let off steam in that direction, but Moffat's use of the couple (as well as of River Song and the Weeping Angels) ended up being case studies warning against the perils of diminishing returns.

Perhaps there's some intensely personal identification going on with this incarnation of the character: Capaldi is, like Moffat, a smart and acerbic fifty-something Scottish man. Will that similarity of outlook and attitudes allow the writer to give more depth and heft to the Doctor and his relationships? I certainly hope so; the thematic skittishness and manic nature of recent seasons has often been exhausting.

As a longtime fan of "Doctor Who" -- I've been watching it since I was 12 -- the sloppy and scattered nature of the show in recent years has been anything but encouraging. Sure, there were recurrent flaws in the previous regime, under showrunner Russell T Davis, but the Moffat era started out quite disciplined, only to notably devolve over time. There have been exceptions -- the 50th anniversary special was pretty terrific -- but the overall decline has been troubling.

Whether it's because his other show, "Sherlock," has distracted him, or because the British showrunner model, in which one person exerts far more individual control over a program, has allowed Moffat's blind spots to grow unchecked, the end result is a show that has gotten messier, more bombastic and more bloated over time. The hyperactive banter that Smith and Jenna Coleman were often forced to engage in set my teeth on edge, and in recent seasons, promotable episode titles seemed more important than episodes that made a modicum of sense. And I'm certainly cool with more people being aware of the show, but, as I wrote a couple of years ago, the BBC's ongoing attempts to position the show as a money-spinning global franchise has sometimes smothered the plucky, inventive, humanistic spirit built into the TARDIS' DNA.

Will the rest of the season reflect the intelligence, the restraint and the sense of fun that infects the season premiere? Or will "Doctor Who" revert to being a maddeningly inconsistent show that only occasionally connects with its strongest and most reliably entertaining elements?

I don't know, but I do know that "Deep Breath" is one of the best showcases Coleman has ever gotten on the show. I do know that it does a lovely job of calling back to recent and not-so-recent eras of "Doctor Who." And I know that it has a lot of fun showcasing three of my favorite recurring characters on the show. Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), her wife Jenny (Catrin Stewart) and their trusty butler, the squat Sontaran warrior Strax (Dan Starkey).

All three are enormously fun to watch in the season premiere. And the new Doctor is pretty cool too.

Now the bad news: If you awkwardly stitched together the first two acts of seven random "X-Files" episodes, you might get something like the first two episodes of the intensely frustrating drama "Intruders." It has a fine cast, including notable "Doctor Who" guest star John Simm, but it's one of those shows that thinks it's interesting to meander around and rarely provide any satisfying answers about anything. Unfortunately, heaping helpings of atmosphere do not make up for the lack of a strong narrative thread or the fact that the characters are so thinly drawn that it's hard to care about anything they do.

Suffice to say that if you like mysterious dramas like "The Returned" or even early-era "The X-Files," this new show may well frustrate you as much as it did me. Spooky elements and odd occurrences can be fine accessories to drama, but unless those things are put in service of a coherent story or compelling characters, they can become a drag on the proceedings. There are elements of a decent premise on display, but "Intruders" fails to deliver on them in any consistent way in the early going, and I was so annoyed by its intentional obliqueness that I didn't want to stick around to see if it improved past the first two episodes.

"Doctor Who" airs Saturday at 8:15 p.m. ET on BBC America.
"Intruders" airs Saturday at 10 p.m. ET on BBC America.

Ryan McGee and I discussed those two shows as well as "You're the Worst," "The Knick" and the importance of weirdness and secondary characters in the latest Talking TV podcast, which is here, on iTunes and below.

30 Of The Greatest MTV VMA Moments Of All Time

This year marks a milestone anniversary for the MTV Video Music Awards. Over the past 30 years, the music show has delivered some of the wildest and most memorable moments in pop culture history.

In 1984, the annual event debuted with a performance of "Like A Virgin" by Madonna. Michael Jackson, Nirvana and TLC, among many others, left their mark in the years that followed. Then, in 2000, Britney Spears stole the crown to become Queen of the VMAs with a half-naked rendition of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Oops! ... I Did It Again!" Her reign would continue through a python performance and a kiss with Madonna.

It's clear the MTV VMAs -- with its hijacked speeches, meat dresses and surprise baby announcements -- rarely fail to deliver.

Check out some of the greatest moments from the show below. Watch the 2014 VMAs live from Inglewood, California, Sunday, Aug. 24, at 9 p.m. EST on MTV.

Victoria Justice On Dealing With Cyberbullying, Fashion Inspiration And Her Advice To Teens

0

Victoria Justice is probably known best for her role in "Victorious" as an aspiring singer who is accepted into the Hollywood Arts High School. Though the popular Nickelodeon show finished its run last year, the actress-singer has returned to the classroom, playing a bullied teen who fights back in the upcoming film, "The Outskirts."

In an interview with HuffPost Teen, Victoria opened up about her new role (including her personal experiences with cyberbullying), the singers who inspire her and what's next on the horizon.

In addition to being an actress, you've also proven yourself as a singer -- especially through your character on "Victorious." Do you have any role models or people who inspire you in the industry?

There are so many people that inspire me, but I especially admire great singers and songwriters. When I hear a song that tells a great story and has great lyrics that can make you see it and feel it, I'm impressed. One example of that is Sara Bareilles' song, "Manhattan." You can tell it was a very painful breakup for her, but her lyrics were so honest and beautiful that it blew me away. Don't get me wrong -- I love a great pop song also, but those that can tell a story like that are my inspirations.

You released two singles last year, "Gold" and "Shake." Do you have any other musical projects on the horizon?

I just very recently got out of my record deal with my label and I'm currently focusing on acting. Music is a huge part of who I am and I'm trying to figure out how I can do both and give them each the time that they deserve.

You're working with Jet Blue's CSR Program, "Soar With Reading." Could you tell us a little bit about it and how you got involved?

I was approached by Jet Blue to get involved in this program. I knew it was something that I would endorse because I am all about literacy and I am thrilled to help inspire kids to read this summer and beyond. My mom would always take my sister and I to the library and bookstores all throughout my childhood. She instilled a love for reading in me that is with me to this day. Soar with Reading is a program which is focused on inspiring and sharing the gift of reading, starting at the grade school level. The program places age-appropriate books in the hands of kids in underserved communities.

Jet Blue is taking reading on the road and to the skies with a nationwide tour to celebrate the program. We are so close to reaching our goals ($500,000 worth of Magic Treehouse books to kids in need). No money is needed. It is as simple as clicking on this link, making a guess and submitting. With each guess JetBlue will donate a book. It's that simple.

Speaking of reading, which books have been on your summer reading list? Read anything good recently?

I am currently reading Tina Fey's autobiography (which I've almost finished) and next on my list is "The Alchemist." I'm also always reading scripts to decide on my next project.

Photos from your upcoming movie "Outskirts" are all over your Twitter. What was it like for you to play someone who was bullied in high school? Were you able to channel pieces from your own high school experience or was it a completely new role for you?

It's a role that I think is important for the fans to see me in. I am a very relatable character. I wear almost no makeup and my hair is very different and I'm definitely not part of the cool crowd. I worked with a great group of people and I'm proud to bring it to life. I can't wait for you guys to see it. I think teens are going to love it!

As for my personal high school experience, it was different than most teens, because I didn't go to a physical school for long. I was tutored on set while I was doing my show, so because of that I had a very different experience than other people. I do deal with cyberbullying online to a large extent because I put myself out there on social media. The demographic I deal with is younger and they are easily influenced by things that aren't necessarily true. They also hide behind anonymity and find it a lot easier to say things online than they would never say to your face. Unfortunately, it's become part of our culture. There need to be stricter guidelines online and awareness brought to this issue, because it is not OK. The same way that we have no tolerance in schools for bullying; that's the same policy we should adopt online.

We love looking through your Instagram for outfit inspiration. How would you describe your personal style?

Thank you for the compliment. I would describe my personal style as eclectic. Sometimes I feel edgy, sometimes I feel like I want to wear a bright, bold beautiful color. I love color and clothes that have interesting details and fabrics. I love clothes that are different. Fashion is fun and a great way to express yourself or how you are feeling. I love cool and different accessories (hats, purses, glasses, scarves, etc.). They can really make an outfit.

Being a teenager in today's world, it feels like there's a lot of pressure to look a certain way. What advice would you give to teens struggling with confidence issues?

What really matters is what's on the inside. Focus on something that you have a passion for and hone that skill, it will make you feel confident about your ability. Read and be aware of what's going on in the world, so you have things to contribute to conversations. Surround yourself with people who really care about you and have your back. If someone doesn't treat you the way you want to be treated, move on.

Robert Rodriguez's Inspiring Speech Will Make You Proud To Be American

When director Robert Rodriguez’s older sister when to New York to pursue an acting career, she sent back saddening news. As a Hispanic, she was having trouble finding work. To fit in, she changed her name.

“I remember being really upset by that,” Rodriguez said in a speech before the San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists this month, fighting back tears. “Not upset with my sister, but upset about an industry where you would be denied work because of your name. And I was very determined from that day forward to change that. I’m not going to change my name.”

In an emotional acceptance speech for the SAAHJ’s Corazón de Oro award delivered on Aug. 8, Rodriguez looked back on his efforts to make Hollywood more representative of Hispanics, who make up 16 percent of the U.S. population, but rarely appear in prominent roles in television and film. The SAAHJ uploaded a video of the speech to YouTube this week.

After the initial success of “El Mariachi,” the director said he wanted to follow it up with a similar film, which would become “Desperado.” But though he is now an established director, he couldn’t find the actors he wanted.

“I was shocked to find there were just no Latinos working in Hollywood,” Rodriguez said. “I mean there were just none. So I realized I had to create my own star system. Because anything I was going to write was going to have a Hispanic in it, because you write in your own image.”

The strategy worked. The 1995 film helped propel the careers of several prominent actors, some of whom had yet to crossover into the American market.

“I found Salma [Hayek] in Mexico,” Rodriguez said. “I brought Antonio [Banderas] from Spain. Danny Trejo -- I just put him in every movie until he became a star. I brought back Cheech Marin, he hadn’t done anything in a while.”

Latinos remain underrepresented in Hollywood. Only 4.9 percent of characters in top-grossing films from 2007 to 2013 were Hispanic, according to a study published this month by the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.

But Rodriguez says he’s seen progress. There are far more prominent Latino actors than when he started his career, he says. At El Rey, the television network he now owns, some 60 percent of the crew -- both in front of and behind the camera -- are Hispanic.

And recently, when offering a role to an actor who asked if he should change his name from Hernandez, Rodriguez gave him a major incentive not to.

“I’m actually not going to hire you if you change your name,” Rodriguez says he told him. “It’s reversed now. You will not get work now if you change your name, because we need you. I mean, how many Hernandezes are there in this world? Think about it. Now, how many can you name, off the top of your head, give me two that are in the popular culture, that you can name that are actors or filmmakers? … But if you go and you become famous, it’s going to tell all the other Hernandezes that they can be there too.”

Watch the speech, which starts around 9:10, in the video above.

Nicki Minaj's Dancer Bitten By A Snake During 'Anaconda' VMAs Rehearsal

It looks like Nicki Minaj is trying to pull a Britney for her VMAs performance.

The rapper, who recently dropped the butt-filled music video for her new song "Anaconda," was rehearsing the song on Friday, Aug. 22, for her upcoming MTV VMAs performance this Sunday. During rehearsal, one of Minaj's female dancers got bitten by a 6-foot-long snake, according to TMZ.

Minaj was on stage performing the song when the unnamed dancer, who had the snake draped over her shoulders, was bitten on the inside of her left arm, according to MTV. The snake was a Dumeril’s boa constrictor, a non-venomous species, named Rocky, and not the titular anaconda. The snake's handler, who was watching the entire performance, said that it never had a biting incident before this.

Chris Velvin, director of production safety for Viacom Media Networks, told MTV that the dancer was immediately treated on-site before being sent to the hospital. Although the bite was not venomous, Velvin said, "It is in no way life-threatening, but scary. We wanted her to start getting treatment as soon as possible."

The plan still remains to include a snake in the performance, but to switch out Rocky for another boa or a python.

John Lennon's Killer Mark David Chapman Denied Parole For Eighth Time

John Lennon's killer has been denied bail yet again.

Mark David Chapman, the man who gunned down the former Beatle in December 1980 outside the musician's New York apartment, has been denied parole for the eighth time. Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life in 1981 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. On Friday, Aug. 22, a three-person Parole Board panel denied the inmates request for release. The panel decision came from a concern that Chapman would commit more crimes and that his release would be "incompatible with the welfare of society," according to the decision.

Chapman was last denied parole in 2012 even though the panel acknowledged his good conduct in prison. The board found that at the time his release would "trivialize the tragic loss of life which [he] caused." Now 59, Chapman won't be eligible for parole for another two years.

Kate Moss Gets Wet For The Ice Bucket Challenge

We love seeing style icons unbutton their Peter Pan collars and use their influence for a great cause like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. (You get a pass Anna Wintour for not removing your signature black shades.) But we were shocked to stumble upon a video of Kate Moss getting dumped with buckets of ice water.

Moss' go-to makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury uploaded an Instagram video on Saturday of the 40-year-old wearing a tiny black bikini and tons of gold rings before getting soaked.

"Kate has asked me to upload her ice bucket challenge for her... Please support ALS and raise money for this very worthy cause," Tilbury wrote.

The model called out in her girlish voice Liv Tyler, Jack Nicholson and BBC Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw to take on the Ice Bucket Challenge and spread awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called "Lou Gehrig's Disease."

Moss' best friend Naomi Campbell took a stand for ALS in a really hot way. And earlier this week, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington followed through and even got their kids in on the movement.

Fatal Shooting Backstage At Wiz Khalifa Concert

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — A 38-year-old man died Saturday after he was shot multiple times backstage during a concert at a popular Silicon Valley venue, authorities said.

The shooting occurred at Shoreline Amphitheatre, where Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa, Atlanta hip hop artist Jeezy and others had finished performing Friday night. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, died at a hospital. Police rushed to the outdoor venue after receiving multiple calls that shots had been fired. However, no arrests have been made, and officers were still looking for a male suspect believed to be in his 20s and armed with a handgun.

Investigators turned to social media to ask concertgoers for photos or videos that might provide clues.

Authorities don't yet know how a gun made it into the amphitheater, where patrons undergo security screening, Mountain View police spokeswoman Shino Tanaka told KTVU-TV (http://bit.ly/1BOuxnh ).

Wiz Khalifa was scheduled to continue his Under the Influence of Music Tour at Sleep Train Amphitheater in Chula Vista, California, on Saturday night, but the show was canceled "due to an active investigation" of the shooting at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, concert organizer Live Nation said in a statement.

A post on Wiz Khalifa's Twitter account blamed the cancellation on "a situation out of our control."

The rapper also called shooting "a senseless tragedy."

"Violence is never the answer. My prayers go out to the victim's family," he tweeted.

He has another concert scheduled Sunday in Irvine, California.

Check out Chloë Grace Moretz's ethereal makeup look below, and find out which other celebs made this week's best and worst beauty list.

BEST: Chloe Moretz

While this is the most styled we've ever seen the English actress' golden blonde hair, the wavy ringlets are giving off bad perm vibes.

WORST: Charis Lincoln

We're all for experimenting with wild and unnatural hair colors. But this eye-dilating purple shade with the matching eyeshadow, contacts AND lipstick is too cartoonish.

WORST: Zoe Bell

The New Zealand stuntwoman and actress attempted the bright under-eye liner trick, but the bronze shade looks too stark with her over-powdered face.

WORST: Lady Gaga
