Ringo’s Birthday Wish July 3, 2008

Ringo plays a nifty little video on his website with his request…

Ringo’s Birthday Wish List – “Peace & Love”

Ringo was recently asked by Access Hollywood what he hoped to receive for his upcoming birthday (July 7th).
Ringo’s answer was unconventional, he said, “just more Peace & Love.”

Then he expanded his wish further, “it would be really cool if everyone, everywhere, wherever they are, at noon on July 7 make the peace sign and say “Peace & Love.”

Wherever you are in the world, join him in making the peace sign and saying, singing, shouting, whispering, signing, writing or quietly thinking one simply beautiful and universal message:

“Peace and Love”.

While some will do this on their own other folks may be gathering at Abbey Road in London; Capitol Records in LA; Strawberry Fields in NYC.

Peace & Love

Brooklyn Bridge turns 125 with a bang May 23, 2008

Fireworks lit up the night sky over the Brooklyn Bridge to celebrate the historic span’s 125th anniversary.

Crowds came out of help celebrate one of New York’s most beloved landmarks. Click for more photos of the fireworks display.

Fireworks and the philharmonic kicked off a five-day birthday bash for the Brooklyn Bridge Thursday night.
Revelers lined the banks of the East River to celebrate the iconic span’s 125th year as a vital link between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
“In the city that never sleeps, it’s still the bridge of our dreams,” Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz told a cheering crowd Thursday night at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park beneath the granite and steel Gothic structure.
Mayor Bloomberg was on hand to introduce Markowitz, who wore a turn-of-the-century bowler hat and ruffled shirt.
“She never looked as good,” Bloomberg said of the bridge, lit up in special colorful lights that will shine from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. through Memorial Day.
As the sun set, the Brooklyn Philharmonic performed in the shadow of the engineering marvel. Composer Marvin Hamlisch serenaded the crowd with a special song he wrote for the bridge’s birthday, but flubbed the lyrics, singing the span was built in 1893.
Designed by John Roebling, the bridge cost $15 million, took 13 years to build and opened May 24, 1883.
Alizette Llanoc said the celebration was extra swell because she celebrated her 10th birthday Wednesday.
“It’s me and the bridge,” said the Public School 295 fourth-grader as fireworks shot from river barges filled the sky. “This is part of my birthday celebration, too. We rock!”
The five-day celebration will feature a string of activities, including walking tours of the bridge and an outdoor film series at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park.

Farenheit 9/11 sequel May 14, 2008

CANNES, France (AP) — Michael Moore is taking America’s temperature again.

Michael Moore won the top honor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival with “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

Moore, who won the top honor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival with “Fahrenheit 9/11,” plans a followup to resume his examination of the nation’s status in the world in the years since the September 11 attacks.

“Fahrenheit 9/11,” the only documentary to top $100 million domestically at the box office, was a harsh, hilarious critique of George W. Bush and his administration in the wake of the attacks.

The as-yet-untitled followup will have a longer-term approach, film executives overseeing the project said Wednesday.

“That movie was about a moment in time, a specific moment,” said Nick Meyer, president of Paramount Vantage, which is co-financing the movie with Overture Films.

“We don’t view this movie as bashing anyone. I think it’s going to take a look at where America is right now in relation to the world. It’s not going to be about the issue of the war. It’s about where we are and what our role is.”

Danny Rosset, chief operating officer at Overture, said the movie will be scheduled for release domestically in spring 2009, soon after the changing of the guard when Bush leaves office.

Overture will release the film in the United States, while Paramount Vantage is handling overseas distribution.

Paramount Vantage is shopping the film around to international buyers at Cannes, which began its 12-day run Wednesday.

Jane Fonda speaks on Activism May 5, 2008

JANE FONDA’S
SPEECH ON ART & ACTIVISM FOR
V-DAY NEW ORLEANS…April 13th, 2008

Oh mercy, oh my—it feels like when the levees broke it blew the lid off the ninth ward and Parrish unleashed these voices, these poems, these words, these doves of peace, these attitudes –power and solidarity. I don’t know think they knew what they were unleashing. And I say “they” because it wasn’t the natural disaster that did it, it was man made—it was negligence and lack of caring. That broke the levees.

I don’t know about you but I’ve been rocked to my core and I’m so grateful to Eve and V-day for creating this chance for all of us to witness the power of the women of New Orleans. Their words, their poems and songs gave voice to all the women from all the corners of the world that have been represented here so beautifully—the Congo, Kenya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Croatia, Serbia, Phillipines and it has enabled us to understand in our bodies, in our cells what sisterhood and solidarity feel like. That’s what art does. No woman no cry. Everything’s gonna be alright.
