Star Wars Interviews Comics Watch
Hasbro Cinematic Universe Takes Shape With Michael Chabon, Brian K. Vaughan, Akiva Goldsman (Exclusive)
April 21, 2016 9:18am by Borys Kit
The plan is for a universe featuring Hasbro's G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Visionaries, M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and ROM brands.
Hasbro's cinematic universe has assembled its writers room, with a Pulitzer Prize winner, an Eisner-winning comic book author and Marvel Studios scribes among those who will be clacking the keyboard.
Michael Chabon, who wrote the novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and worked on Spider-Man 2; Brian K. Vaughan, the creator of seminal comic works Y: The Last Man and Saga and showrunner of Under the Dome; and Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel co-writer Nicole Perlman, will help develop a plan for the creation of an interconnected onscreen universe featuring Hasbro's G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Visionaries, M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and ROM brands.
Heat Vision breakdown
Also in the group are:
► Lindsey Beer, who was just hired to adapt Kingkiller Chronicle for Lionsgate
► Cheo Coker, showrunner of Marvel's Netflix show Luke Cage
► John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the comedy writing team who penned Spider-Man: Homecoming
► Joe Robert Cole (a writer on People vs. OJ Simpson who is also writing Black Panther for Marvel)
► Jeff Pinkner, who wrote the adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower)
► Nicole Riegel (writer behind the Blacklist script Dogfight)
► Geneva Robertson (one of the writers of new Tomb Raider movie project).
Akiva Goldsman, who won an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, will oversee the writers room on behalf of Hasbro and Paramount as well as serving as executive producer for all of the films. He is already serving in a similar capacity for Hasbro's Transformers writers room and the new session is meant to build on its successful fruits and established road map.
Allspark Pictures, Hasbro's film label, will produce the films based on this cross-property universe. Hasbro's chairman and CEO Brian Goldner and executive vice president and CCO Stephen Davis are serving as producers. Josh Feldman, head of Hasbro's storytelling, will co-exec produce.
The collective's first meeting will be held Monday on the Paramount lot. Paramount is integrally involved with Hasbro's cinematic universe and has been the company's partner on the $3.8 billion grossing Transformers franchise as well as the G.I Joe movies.
Also on hand for the writers room will be Hasbro artists to help up draw up concepts and characters.
The room is diverse, with a strong concentration of black and women writers, something that is unusual not only in fanboy genre spheres but even in Hollywood circles, in which tentpoles tend to be written by a small circle of scribes.
"We first and foremost put together a list of writers who we wanted to be in business with and could be the world-builders that we needed, said Davis. "But we want to be sure that in the room we have diverse perspectives, diverse backgrounds and diverse experiences."
For example, the properties involved in the universe, such as G.I. Joe and M.A.S.K., have traditionally skewed towards the male segment, but Hasbro wants to broaden the focus on the movies, to make them more inclusive. It's a theme that already exists in the brands, Davis said.
"Female empowerment is a central theme through a lot of these properties and one of the reasons we wanted diverse voices," he said.
Said Paramount Pictures chairman and CEO Brad Grey: "Bringing together a writers room of this caliber is a bold step for our partnership, and one that we believe is critical for building these brands into new, successful franchises for the future."

Making the Positive Case for Israel
by Alan M. Dershowitz
The world well knows of Israel's military prowess in protecting its citizens against threats of terrorism and the even greater threat of a nuclear armed Iran. If one were to put the word "Israel" on a Rorschach test, the association, for most people would be to "conflict," "wars," and for some the continuing dispute with the Palestinians and the entire Arab and Muslim world. These images and associations are, tragically, an important part of Israel's history and reality. It is not, however, Israel's chosen identity. Most Israelis crave peace, normalcy and the end of conflict. They want to turn their swords into plow shears and get on with the business of helping to repair the world.
What is truly remarkable about Israel is that in the face of 64 years of unremitting hostility, warfare and terrorism directed against the Jewish state and its citizens, Israel has managed to contribute more to the world, on a per capita basis, than any country in history. It will continue to do so even if the conflicts continue. Imagine how much more it could do for the world as a peace dividend from the end of the conflict.
Israel is so much more than "the conflict." For many of the world's ills, it is an important part of the answer.
Once people's eyes are opened to Israel's promise and her contributions to modern society, they realize how close-minded you have to be to ignore the tremendous potential that exists within this tiny nation. In almost every modern discipline, Israeli innovators have changed the world for the better. In medicine, researchers have designed methods to better diagnose and treat some of humanity's most debilitating conditions. In computer science, Israeli inventions are integral to the vast majority of personal computers in use around the world and to business, industry and even popular devices in high demand for our entertainment.
Israel has succeeded in rallying its bitter experiences on the battlefield to design solutions for the handicapped, offering them greater accessibility and mobility. And in a nation where much of the country lies in arid climates, Israeli innovators have literally made the desert bloom through drip irrigation and water reclamation, which are now being implemented all around the globe.
This is just a glimpse into the world that is Israel's modern day renaissance, but it reveals how there is so much more that so many in the international community chooses to ignore when it comes to understanding the real Israel.
Towards that end, I am encouraged by a series of ongoing initiatives that channel this "positive spirit" in engaging a whole new side of public diplomacy on behalf of the Jewish State. Among the most significant has been the recent release of a groundbreaking documentary film narrated by Tal Ben-Shahar, an Israeli visionary voted a favorite lecturer at Harvard. The film, Israel Inside, which has been met with critical acclaim since its recent release, successfully shows that the time has come to focus on what is great about Israel, instead of obsessively responding to its detractors.
History has made quite clear that the Israeli people will always have their bitter discreditors, including those committed to violence with the aim of destroying the nation. But history has also taught us that while Israel can never lower its defenses and must remain committed to protecting its citizens against all threats, we must also seize the opportunities to highlight her numerous positive aspects.
The challenge, therefore, falls upon us as advocates for the Jewish State to find innovative and effective ways to meet this challenge. Presenting the positive case for Israel's contributions to the world – past, present and future – is an important aspect of meeting that important challenge.
Alan Dershowitz is the Felix Frankfurter Professor at Harvard Law School and the author of "The Case for Israel." A free online web stream of Israel Inside will be available from May 14th to 25th by visiting israelinsidethemovie.com


[photo above: I store some of my old camera on their own little boxes. The upper right one is a old Nikon rangefinder that my grandpa bought in Japan in the 1950s. The middle top is a Polaroid 330 land camera with a beautiful glass lens that my sister snagged for me at a garage sale for a couple of dollars. I've found that you can shoot anything or anyone you want if you are shooting with a bellows polaroid camera. It's like a golden ticket – they are too busy checking out the gear to tell you "no". Three of the cameras I bought at a fun Antiques store in Seattle WA, Seattle's Antique Market.
love it!! everything looks so cozy!
Love the display of her collection of old cameras. Is it me, or is that the longest sidewalk ever?! What a cute bungalow.
I like that long walk to the house – very cute – although if I had a heavy armload of something I'm sure I would not be as thrilled ….
I love what they have done with the cameras.
oh how charming and in culver city!
Love this cottage, especially the old bottles and the white-on-white bedroom.
Thank you! Thank you! Design Sponge I love you and am honored to share our home with you. ps. it is the longest sidewalk in the world.
Happy to see the Green Ant talked about in this post. They have wonderful pieces! Cute bungalow!
love everything single thing about this charming home. but most especially, that glass bottle collection. oh my!
What a darling place you two created and the best part is the pictures. You will love to see them in the next 50 years to say it was your first house!
That just looks so gorgeous and adorable. Looks like my kind of spot.
It's really nice and minimalistic!
I'm endlessly envious of the old bottle collection! I have three… sadness.
I'm in love! What a great space, all the details, colors, jars, boots…oh!
It is adorable! I love the camera boxes!
Rachel! How fabulous is your little blue house. Always fun to see someone you know and love featured on Design*Sponge. Congrats!
This little blue home is beautiful! Love the old bottle collection!
very well done! I especially love the honeycomb cabinets! So fresh and unique!
You've made a tiny house not feel tiny at all! Love the little round midcentury stool with magazine storage!
the bottles and the cameras are my favorite! so fabulous! i love the blue house.
Your home is absolutely wonderful. It has a je ne sais quoi that you should feel very proud of! It looks so cozy and welcoming! You just made mid-century jealous of your home I'm sure!
PS: love the old bottle collection!
Cute and quaint and impeccable decorated. Well done!
Thanks for all the bungalow love! Everyone come for a visit & we can hunt for more glass bottles. Lots of love for Design Sponge. xo.
Very nice, what you've done in a small space. Is that a hot water heater hiding by the stove? We uncovered ours since we like it's shape and functionality. An added bonus is they are metal and magnets stick nicely(it may be code that it's covered).
That collection of bottles drives me crazy! I think I'm in love with the above space.
I love how you displayed your cameras, and the bottle collection looks fantastic! I could move right in and feel at home. I might have to get some of those wall cubes for my cameras, too.
Thurston must be an artist.
I think the shot of the bed is one of the most personal photos I've seen in a sneak peek; thanks for the unique take. I really enjoyed this one.
What an amazing job they've done with just 500 SF! Love it all.


"Hark the Harold: Late in Time" was written and produced as part of the The Summit Church's 2014 Christmas production. It is now available online! Check out its page on the SkyGate website to watch and learn more about this film!


"Last year, Gehry raised more than a few eyebrows when he said that he felt LEED certification was often awarded for 'bogus stuff' and that climate change and sustainable design are 'political,'" Inhabitat's Yuka Yoneda writes. "He also mentioned that he didn't feel that the costs associated with green buildings would pay for themselves 'in your lifetime.' Given Gehry's thoughts, it would have been surprising if his new tower were going for LEED." Gehry eventually walked back those comments -- which happen to be incorrect, at least insofar as the benefits of green building goes -- but he's not alone in his issues with LEED, the third-party green building certifier that increasingly dominates the green building scene.
In his interview recanting some of his earlier feistiness, Gehry admitted that his beef, to the extent that it exists, is with LEED and other third-party green building certifications, not with the idea of green building itself. And his track record bears that out, as Gehry has designed numerous green buildings around the world over the course of his Pritzker Prize-winning career. And he has done the green buidling thing again at 8 Spruce Street, which has everything that such blockbuster Manhattan green building listings as The Solaire, Emerald Green and The Corner have, in terms of energy-efficient fixtures and finishes, low-e windows and other such green building elements. All it lacks, it turns out, is a LEED-certification plaque in the lobby. Well, that, and the wish to publicize just how green a building it actually is. No news that interesting was going to stay secret for long, though.


Remember my story from last month when I shared how much Mike and I LOVE factory tours? Whenever we have a chance we're there, checking out the local sights and manufacturers.
Visiting my mother recently in Portland, Oregon, I had the chance to visit Bob's Red Mill. I've seen Bob's smiling face and his red coat for years on the packages of numerous products adorning the grocers shelves. Wow! they are an amazing company: well integrated at every level and conscious through and through. I got to meet Bob himself, red vest and all. He was entertaining the U.S. Grain Inspectors the day Mom and I visited, and we toured around with grain moguls from around the country. Most of them were narrow traditionalists, so all the teff, amaranth, chia, and other ancient grains overwhelmed them. Why so may products? Do people actually want them? These guys had a lot to learn and I was pleased to see they had reached out to Bob and were there to find out all they could.
On the left you see the grain storage.
The sheer size of the Bob's Red Mill operation was awesome. The world's foremost provider of whole grain foods, their facility is on 17 acres just outside Portland. They process over 57 truckloads a day of speciality grain products purchased from contract farmers all across the US. This contractual relationship with farmers is essential to guarantee that every product bearing the organic label truly is organic and not genetically modified. Bob's Red Mill products are now available in 71 countries and the company is now employee owned. Yep, on his 79 birthday last year, Bob gave his company to his employees.
While at the Mill with Bob and friends I learned some interesting tidbits. Only six grains contain gluten: barley, kamut, rye, spelt, triticale, and, of course, wheat. All others are gluten free. They can, however, easily come in contact with one of these gluten-bearing grains during processing, which can be a problem. We'll go back to the same thing we say about everything -- Know your sources! Buy organic!
Bob's produces more than 200 speciality grain products, over 70 of them guaranteed gluten free -- they have a special milling room just for these products -- Bob's is worth checking repeatedly for healthy ingredients. One of our most favorite new finds from Bob's, discovered while at the mill, is his Gluten Free Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal. Reminds Mike and me of those country grits we grew up with in Texas. Makes my mother proud to think we're going back to our roots.
Bob has been discreetly changing the habits of millions of customers over the years by offering a product line of more than 70 gluten free products. They publish a 'gluten-free newsletter' and yes, I've signed up. Their biggest seller is Flax seed meal -- approaching ten million pounds annually. I'm not much of a grain eater these days, because grains don't seem to agree with my digestion. When I do buy grains, I always buy Bob's. It's nice to find out that my hunch was correct, and it's a great company. I love supporting companies that are conscious, take care of their employees, maintain a positive relationship with their communities, and care about educating others to the importance of farming sustainably with products that are healthy for us in the long run. Bravo Bob!
Congratulations to Bob for publishing his biography, People over Profits. Having met the man and been impressed by his personal sincerity, knowledge, and success, I've purchased my copy.
They are amazing -- even separate tongs for vegan and wheat free baked goods in the bakery.

Quants destroy: How physicists tried to bring down the global financial market
In my continuing list of things to blame physicists for, we can now add the near crash of the global financial system. Apparently, the volatile investments called derivatives, which resulted in some of our largest banking corporations going under and the massive bailout of countless others, was all the idea of some punk physicists trying to make it rich on Wall Street.
While the guy who actually brought the idea to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange some decades ago wasn't a physicist, apparently we still get the wrap for pushing it with that spell-binding thing called math.
Watch CBS News Videos Online
From 60 Minutes:
"They are complex, in effect, mortgage science projects devised by these Nobel-tracked physicists who came to work on Wall Street for the very purpose of creating complex instruments with all manner of detailed protocols, and who gets paid when and how much. And the complexity of the structures is at the very center of the crisis of credit today."
What's more startling? They were already predicting that it would be our fault in 1995. Some whiz kid PhD physicists and mathematicians were recruited by investors to make use of the computer technology that had become available to model investments and bring a risk management element into the world market. The idea was that a derivative, if based on the best data, could insure everyone against falling prices by allowing them to hedge their bets.
The problem with the logic though, was that it assumed all of us humans would make rational decisions in our real estate and other investments. Instead, to their surprise, people started buying more than they could afford on the assumption that prices would continuously go up. The price continued to rise while the value dropped until suddenly someone realized that the investments were of no value and everyone sold at once, effectively dropping the price to zero.
A number of people tried to warn the public off about what derivatives were doing, but you know us physicists; our diabolical plans can never be thwarted once we've set them in place. So, all the physicists got rich while the poor investment bankers sat there and helplessly tried to warn the world. Wait, no that didn't happen. Oh well, it was still our fault.
But if your parents are grilling you about what the heck you could actually do with a degree in physics, tell them you could make millions on Wall Street as a "quant."
So, what's next on our list of things to destroy after the Gulf of Mexico and the world financial market? How about the very earth itself, after all that is why we built the LHC.

Of course not every employer pays the same wage for the same job, but here are a few tips that will help you find out what you can expect.
Look at wage and salary information.
Find job postings to see what other companies are paying for the same job.
Ask other people you know, especially those working in the same job.
Go to your professional association or union to see if they have salary information for comparable jobs.


This month I dined at Bistrot La Minette (located at 623 South 6th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147) for the first time. The purpose of my visit was to preview April's special, a menu that features a Tartiflette. The tartiflette menu is a celebration of French family style cuisine centered around cheese. The tartiflette was chosen because this is the season of reblochon. Reblochon is the traditional French cheese that's used for the tartiflette. This is a four person meal which costs $160. Each person gets a soup and salad. The main Tartiflette course is a family style dish and it's quite large. Each person gets their own dessert. And lastly, a bottle of Savoie wine that's used to make the Tartiflette is also included with the dinner.
It was time for dinner to begin. Executive Chef Kenneth Bush formerly introduced himself and proceeded to serve the first dish. He presented the Soupe Savoyarde. This is a root vegetable soup with creme fraiche and comte cheese crouton. This soup had a slight creamy texture. It was a bowl full of delicious comfort that I very much enjoyed. Next came the Salade Savoyarde. It's similar to a chef's salad. This is made with bibb lettuce, sliced raw mushrooms, pine nuts, croutons for texture, diced French-style ham, Comte cheese and Dijon vinaigrette. I loved everything about this salad. Every ingredient paired well each other.
Kenneth Bush explained that Tartiflette is from the region of France known as Savoie, it is an alpine region. Savoie is close to the French alps where the French and Swiss alps boarder each other. Tartiflette comes from this region. Chef Kenneth Bush noted that he paired the Tartiflette with other traditional food from the Savoie region. Now it was time for the main course, the Tartiflette. This gorgeous family style dish is made with an entire wheel of reblochon cheese, cooked potatoes, cream, caramelized onions, bacon and about 4 ounces of Savoie wine. The wine adds the flavor and tradition to the dish. It also came with a side of haricot verts. The tartiflette is very much a plentiful dish, so be sure to bring your appetite! If you still have a little space in your belly after enjoying the Tartiflette, you have to squeeze in room for dessert. You'll be served a beautiful Tarte aux Fruits des Bois. This is a mixed berry tart.

Construction starts on the University of Memphis pedestrian bridge and parking garage.
Unifying the University of Memphis campus with a soaring pedestrian bridge, a 1,140-space parking garage, amphitheaters, plazas and pedestrian mall converted from a street is a big job requiring big numbers.
How about 388 construction piers that would extend over two miles if lined end to end? Or 3,000 tons of aggregate stone to build those piers? Or 200 tons of structural steel? Or 667 truck loads (10,672 cubic yards) of concrete? Or 227 tons of rebar? Or 989 truck loads of precast concrete?
That sizes up the $33.5 million construction job that Flintco started this month on the south side of the main campus.
The construction company is to finish the work by August 2019, give or take any weather or unexpected delays.
The U of M's main campus totals 200 acres. The 160 acres (classroom and other buildings) to the north are divided from the 40 acres (surface parking and recreation/athletic facilities) to the south by three parallel byways: Walker Avenue, the Norfolk Southern Railway and Southern Avenue.
Long trains and fast traffic have delayed or threatened students for decades, but now the U of M is building a stylish, possibly iconic, solution.
Architect Haizlip Studio designed a cable-stayed bridge that will be 200 feet long, 20 feet wide and whose south-side pylons will rise 80 feet. The bridge deck will be 23 feet above the tracks and streets.
Echles will no longer split the south part of the main campus; the street will be converted into a pedestrian mall between Southern and Spottswood.
On the north end of the bridge, a plaza with amphitheater will be constructed at Alumni Mall. Students will have the option of climbing stairs to the top of the bridge or taking elevators.
"The garage foundations are going in now and the precast structural columns and T- spans are being made at a pre-cast plant outside of Atlanta now,'' Tony Poteet said Friday in an email. He is the U of M's assistant vice president for campus planning and design.
"The pieces will be trucked to the site and erected in place starting this fall,'' he said. The garage will have LED lighting and cameras for safety.
"The bridge will have attractive and impressive LED lighting at night,'' Poteet said.
In addition to Haizlip Studio, the university has worked on the project with engineers OGCB Inc. and HNA Engineering and landscape architecture firm Ritchie Smith Associates.
The project already has required closing a portion of Southern and Echles.
"As the project progresses there will be intermittent closure of streets, and we appreciate the patience of the public during construction,'' Poteet said.

What Is an FPO AP Address?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Apr 9, 2020 12:14:32 AM ET
An FPO/APO address is an official address used to send mail to a person stationed overseas while serving in the United States military. FPO stands for Fleet Post Office. APO stands for Air/Army Post Office.
When sending mail to an APO/FPO address, the full name of the recipient must be listed on the package. The military branch and unit information is also included. Mail being sent to these addresses can be sent for the same price as other domestic packages. Before mailing packages to APO/FPO addresses, the sender must make sure that the package contents don't violate the current restrictions for that area. Contacting the Unites States Postal Service is one way to find out about restrictions.
