Grandmother who once volunteered to help Grimsby drug addicts dies of overdose
Ann Marie Webster sought help but her move to Hull was her tragic downfall
James CampbellReporter
Doting grandmother Ann Marie Webster's lifer spiralled after moving to Hull seeking help for a painkiller addiction
A hard-working and doting grandmother who had volunteered to help drug users in Grimsby, died of a drug overdose after her life dramatically spiralled downwards.
Ann Marie Webster, who had a son and two grandchildren, had a degree in psychology and sociology and had a well-paid job at a local advice centre.
But she suffered from hip problems and severe period pains which meant she had to take painkillers, an inquest in Hull heard.
She ended up addicted to codeine for 10 years but took action when she embarked on a 13-week rehabilitation course after moving from Keelby to Hull.
After moving over, she met drug user Michael Sparrow at a ReNew meeting in October 2019 and he introduced her to illicit drugs, including crack cocaine and heroin.
A month later she tragically died of an overdose, the court heard.

Ann Marie's sister Samantha Collins paid tribute after the inquest but believes moving to Hull proved her sister's undoing.
She ended up living at an address in Raglan Street in west Hull, in shared accommodation with other recovering drug addicts as part of the Stepping Stone project which helps former addicts to get back to living independently.
"Towards the end she did not like who she had become," Samantha said. "Hull was not the place for her, she had come from a rural village in Lincolnshire.
"If she hadn't gone to Hull I think she would probably still be with us today.
"I told her to come back home and, if my parents had the money, they would have paid for private rehabilitation.
"The moment she came to Hull it was a downward spiral. At that point she had no job and no money."
But the turning point was meeting Mr Sparrow at a drug rehabilitation meeting.
"I knew he was not right for her," Samantha said. "He was much younger than her.
"Annie had never been so down on her luck and he preyed on her vulnerability.
"It was sheer bad luck she met someone like Sparrow although she could never understand why she was housed with former addicts of illicit hard drugs.
"She came to Hull to get better and had never taken any illicit drugs in her life. I think she was failed by the system."

Moment suspected killer Daniel Boulton was arrested
While no prosecutions were ever forthcoming, police investigated Ann Marie's death thoroughly.
Mr Sparrow was with her at the time she overdosed overnight between November 5 and 6, 2019 at the Raglan Street address. There was no proof as to whether he had administered the crack cocaine and heroin.
But he was spotted by Tricia Scott, director of Stepping Stones, rifling through Ann Marie's handbag, taking keys and cash while she lay dying.
He was arrested in the early hours of November 6 and interviewed later that day but never faced any charges.
Ann Marie died following an overdose of crack cocaine and heroin and an autopsy found nothing else which could account for her death.
Samantha paid tribute to her sister and says she had such a full life and still had so much more to offer.
Watch: what happens during an inquest
"Annie loved helping people," she said. "She thrived in her job giving people advice and people would always say just give Annie a call.
"She was really close to her parents and to me. She loved family barbecues and going round to her parents for Sunday lunch.
"She loved dogs and she had a French bulldog called Dave. Her former partner would bring her across at weekends and she loved that.
"She was the clever one in our family and she went to university and got a degree. It was a very proud moment when she graduated.
"When she got a job at the advice centre she could not believe she had such a good job.
"Annie had so much to live for. She adored her grandchildren. We had so many good times and it is such a shame it ended this way.
"I will her as just being Annie and being such a lovely sister. She was a wonderful person."
But Ann Marie was not without problems in her life.
Where to get help for drugs
Your GP is a good place to start. They can discuss your problems with you and get you into treatment.
They may offer you treatment at the practice or refer you to your local drug service.
If you're not comfortable talking to your GP, you can approach your local drug treatment service yourself.
If you're having trouble finding the right sort of help, call the Frank drugs helpline on 0300 123 6600. They can talk you through all your options.
At your first appointment for drug treatment, staff will ask you about your drug use. They will also ask about your work, family and housing situation.
You may be asked to provide a sample of urine or saliva.
Staff will talk you through all of your treatment options and agree a treatment plan with you.
They can tell you about local support groups for drug users and their families or carers.
You'll also be given a keyworker, who will support you throughout your treatment.
What drug treatment involves
This depends on your personal circumstances and what you're addicted to. Your keyworker will work with you to plan the right treatment for you.
Your treatment may include:
Treatment with medicines
Detoxification (detox)
Self-help support groups
Reducing harm through testing and treatment for hepatitis or HIV, for example.
Her first marriage ended in divorce and she was separated from her second husband, although it was largely amicable.
She also took on her own business around spiritual healing. But it was her health problems that proved most devastating.
"Annie was into spiritual healing and loved crystals", Samantha said. "She took over a friend's business called Mind Body and Spirit which ran events.
"Unfortunately, she ran into financial difficulties and someone else took it over. This led to some anxiety and depression.
"She had problems with her hips and also really bad period pains. She had to take painkillers and then she came to rely upon them.
"They weren't drugs she got high on or got a buzz from. She described the feeling as being like a warm hug.
"She could still function fine and held down a job but she was ashamed of the addiction and hid it from people.
"She did not want to keep taking them and would often cry about her addiction."

Ann Marie was one for four siblings and grew up in the Grimsby area. She had one son from her first marriage and had two grandsons.
She actually carried out volunteer work earlier in life with Impact in Grimsby – an organisation helping those with drug and alcohol addiction.
She moved to Hull for rehabilitation in July 2019 after enrolling on the ReNew programme.
Samantha said her sister did not seem right at all when she spoke to her in October that year.
She said: "I cannot believe what happened. She went to an agency for help for an over-the-counter medication addiction to using hard drugs intravenously.
"She had not been exposed to that lifestyle before and I never thought something like this would happen to her."
In police interviews, Mr Sparrow said that when he saw Ann Marie unresponsive on the night of November 5, 2019, he administered a drug to counteract the heroin and then gave her CPR before calling for an ambulance.
He claimed Ann Marie's housemates had given her an injection but this was vehemently denied by them.
Ms Scott, of Steeping Stone, told the inquest she tried everything to separate Ann Marie from Mr Sparrow.
She said Ann Marie was calm and intelligent when sober and wanted to get away from Mr Sparrow but would fall back in with him when she had taken anything.
She told the inquest: "She told me she wanted to get away from him, get clean and then volunteer for us.
"But things went wrong in those last few weeks and she had many problems.
"If I could have kept her and Mr Sparrow apart I would have done."
Ann Marie was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary following the overdose but was declared dead at 1.30am on November 6, 2019.
Assistant coroner Ian Sprakes concluded her death was 'drug-related'.
He said: "Ann was a very intelligent woman and she did a lot of things to help other people.
"Unfortunately, she had physical problems which resulted in a reliance on pain killers which became an addiction.
"This is an extremely sad case with the loss of a woman clearly bright and intelligent.
"But she became embroiled in addiction and got involved with those who had no positive influence on her life. It is a sad and tragic loss."

The Ogle County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) was created by an act of Congress known as the "Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA)." The law requires that each state establish planning districts. In Illinois, the Governor named each county a planning district.
Each district was to form a committee that included a representative from the following groups or organizations.
The Ogle County LEPC has set up a Community Right to Know Program which incorporates the chemicals reported to the LEPC by local businesses. This program is based upon the 1986 Title III of Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). This legislation requires local planning by businesses and response agencies (such as fire departments) whenever hazardous materials are involved. SARA also requires the establishment of a system in each community that informs citizens of chemicals used, manufactured or stored locally.

Victim Support Malta launches a new website
by Gozo News · February 22, 2010
On the occasion of Victim Support Day remembered annually on February the 22nd, Victim Support Malta (VSM) has launched a website intended to serve as an important reference point for persons needing information about support for victims. Victim Support Malta deals with all types of victims of crime whether male or female, from domestic violence and sexual harassment to bereavement.
The website – victimsupportmalta.org – is an essential and exhaustive guide to assisting victims and help witnesses of crime rebuild their lives. It is also linked to a hotline which is manned 24/7 by volunteers. The site also carries past case studies to inform browsers on how the Organisation handles reports and cases and the different solutions offered to victims.
The launch of the new website is the beginning of an ongoing campaign to raise awareness for Victim Support Malta and the services that it offers. In the near future Victim Support Malta will be launching further services such as legal aid and the services of a psychologist.
VSM's website also outlines the Organisations's long-term development plans, which include introducing victim-offender mediation services and court witness services, and offering training opportunities in victim-related issues to judges, magistrates, lawyers and the police.
Dr Roberta Lepre from Victim Support Malta said: "VSM has launched the new website as a step towards reaching the public with valuable information. We have accomplished so much in so little time. I'd like to thank everybody involved while also sending out a plea for more help, as there is still so much to do." She went on to say, "No matter whether it has been today, a week ago or a year ago, you can always contact us if you think we can give you support, information or both. We are the experts in providing the assistance you may need."
VSM accepts all forms of support, donations and volunteer work. For further information, or to contact VSM, you may visit http://victimsupportmalta.org, or call the VSM helpline on 21 228 333.

The Frame-Up (MP3 CD)
By Wendy McLeod Macknight, Bronson Pinchot (Read by)
Hard to find - Please call or email us about this title before ordering
When Sargent Singer discovers that the paintings in his father's gallery are alive, he is pulled into a captivating world behind the frame that he never knew existed.
Filled with shady characters, devious plots, and a grand art heist, this inventive mystery-adventure celebrates art and artists and is perfect for fans of Night at the Museum and Blue Balliett's Chasing Vermeer.
There's one important rule at the Beaverbrook Gallery--don't let anyone know the paintings are alive. Mona Dunn, forever frozen at thirteen when her portrait was painted by William Orpen, has just broken that rule. Luckily twelve-year-old Sargent Singer, an aspiring artist himself, is more interested in learning about the vast and intriguing world behind the frame than he is in sharing her secret.
And when Mona and Sargent suspect shady dealings are happening behind the scenes at the gallery, they set out to find the culprit. They must find a way to save the gallery--and each other--before they are lost forever.
With an imaginative setting, lots of intrigue, and a thoroughly engaging cast of characters, The Frame-Up will captivate readers of Jacqueline West's The Books of Elsewhere.

Trisha's Take: Five real-life stories that would make great original movies
One of the things I've noticed while covering movie news for this site is that there are an awful lot of remakes and adaptations of existing movies, plays, and TV series that are being put into production, and it seems like it's happening more and more often. In fact, it's happening so often that I almost feel as if this kind of news deserves its own category tag.
Which is why I really appreciated this story from the Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog from last week, wherein Jay A. Fernandez profiled the subject of one of screenwriter Adam Mazer's recent true-life adaptation projects, Hal Berger.
With a working title of Snatched, Berger's story is that he was married to a woman who was from South Africa who refused to return to the U.S. from that country with their son and after Berger got him back, she used a boyfriend and some fake passports to re-take her son from his school. And then, things got intense, as reported by the Huffington Post:
While living in South Africa for eight months to recover his son, Mr. Berger was faced with two false arrests attempts, several death threats, was ultimately imprisoned while entering the country from Namibia, and stripped of his human rights to see his child for months at a time.
While I disagree with Fernandez's description of Berger as a "decidedly regular guy," you have to admit that the story's quite fascinating—which begs the question: What other real-life stories are out there that would make awesome movies?
I'm so glad you asked.
After the death of her father, favored daughter Princess Hatshepsut begins to realize that she could possibly become the sole ruler of Egypt.
My fascination for the story of the only female pharaoh of ancient Egypt (whoops, spoilers) began with my first boyfriend who painted a rather evocative image of her in both words and pencil when he was studying her for one of his art classes.
There weren't any wars conducted during her lifetime so I don't see this containing any Ten Commandments-style epic scenes, but I see there being lots of intrigue and clashes amongst the other political factions that wanted her nephew Tutmose III to attain a full leadership. Bonus to this would be a subplot featuring the secret romance between her and her most trusted advisor.
The Soldier Bear
After being found in the foothills of Iran, the men of the Second Polish Transport Company aren't sure what to do with their pet brown bear cub. Luckily, Wojtek has his own idea about what he can do for his new friends.
The author of its Badass of the Week profile says, "The idea of a fucking alcoholic Nazi-fighting bear is so awesome that you'd think it was something out of a bizarre cartoon or a Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie" and why not, I say? It would be like Born Free, except with less fluffy-happy-bunny time and more awesome Saving Private Ryan action, perhaps with some M.A.S.H or Catch-22-style hijinks as well.
When some kids reach the age of 15, they look forward to getting a permit to drive a car. All he ever wanted was a decent day's wage—and what he did to get it would rock a nation to its very core.
The screenwriter looking to adapt this story should wait a few years as the murder of South African white supremacist leader Eugene Terreblanche (his last name means "white land" in French) by an unnamed minor is still being investigated. Hell, in the 16 hours since the time I first started drafting this article, the AP article I linked was fleshed out with much more detail.
Still, in a world where so many people are looking at the election of a black man to the highest government honor in the U.S. as a sign that racism is over, for this kind of treatment and resulting hatred and strife to still be continuing both shocks and appalls me—and makes me wonder how Kathryn Bigelow feels about making movies about post-apartheid South Africa.
Spacewomen of the Soyuz
Friends since childhood, Dorothy, Stephanie, Naoko and Tracy have endured a rigorous training regimen and numerous hardships in order to become the first all-female deep space exploration party and the commanders of the starship Soyuz. However, what awaits them in the darkest reaches will test and try their very souls.
This is probably the most far-fetched and the most deserving of the title credit "Inspired by a true story," but when I learned that real-life astronauts Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger, Stephanie Wilson, Naoko Yamazaki and Tracy Caldwell Dyson have broken the record for the most number of women who are in orbit around the Earth after this past week's shuttle launch, I couldn't help but think that it was a cool time to be a woman of science.
I was turning 9 at the time of the Challenger disaster of January 1986 and like many kids that year, I was watching the launch live in my elementary school classroom. My teacher Ms. Clyde (later, Caitlin) had been one of the finalists for the inaugural Teacher in Space program, but Christa McAuliffe just happened to beat her out, which is why we were watching it rather intently.
I don't know how related it is to that, but legendary comics writer Chris Claremont released a book a year later called First Flight! which revolves around a maverick female pilot/astronaut and I remember loving the book when I first read it almost 10 years after its release. (Alas, the book is no longer in print; hooray for used bookstores!)
Combine the true facts with imaginary details of these women's lives, toss in some Alien or Moon-style corporate intrigue along with healthy bits of science, and you've got an awesome movie right there.

Under siege from the Nazi's and his own government, A Russian composer writes a symphony amid the war torn streets of Leningrad that will defy Hitler and unite his people.
II have always thought that the story of Shostakovich's Symphony no. 7, would make a great film, it was composed in Leningrad (partially, as he was evacuated eventually) during the Nazi siege. It was first performed on the day that Hitler had predicted the fall of Leningrad, in Leningrad by an orchestra that was pieced together with musicians that had not been killed in battle or starved to death. The Russian Air Force led a heavy bombing campaign aimed at the German artillery the night before to ensure silence. They then broadcast the symphony with loudspeakers so the German troops could hear, it was also broadcast live throughout the USSR. Shostakovich had many problems with the Soviet government, especially Stalin, and he had been publicly denounced prior to the war.
As it would only be based/inspired by the true story, for colour it would be possible to add in bits of Soviet propaganda, such as that Shostakovich was living a top a church steeple working as a fire warden. This would make for a much more dramatic backdrop to scenes of composition and interaction with his family, as well as provide him with something to do besides write. His family would allow spirited arguments relating to the importance of his work vs family safety, etc.

This American Life had an episode that sort of relates to this and made me think about 'based on a true story'.
The part "Midlife Cowboy" is about a regular guy (who used to be a drug runner) decided to track down and rescue two kids kidnapped and taken to Mexico by suspected murders: their parents. He was offered movie rights, but declined. If you listen, you'll be able to see what Hollywood might do with the story and why that might have been bad.
It's a good listen, nonetheless.

When I read the badass column on the soldier bear Woytek I immediately thought 'That would make an awesome movie', so it's a pleasant surprise to find it on your list.
Although I fear if it would be made into a movie, it would be one of those horrible comedies-with-animals …

I admit that I kept that in mind when I wrote the synopsis.
If I were a producer, I'd totally commission someone to write that script.
I haven't listened to that ep yet, but it's on my list. It also makes me wonder what the state of the first-look deal is with "This American Life."


Less than a week after returning from Perm late last month to see a new production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro," I headed back to the Ural Mountains, this time to Yekaterinburg, for yet another operatic premiere.
The opera in Yekaterinburg, at its Theater of Opera and Ballet, was Modest Mussorgsky's "Boris Godunov," staged as part of the theater's 100th anniversary celebration. Particularly drawing me to the production was the presence of director Alexander Titel, artistic head of the Moscow opera troupe Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater for the past 21 years.
I first encountered a Titel production two decades ago at the Bolshoi Theater. The opera was Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "The Night Before Christmas," and Titel's staging struck me as perhaps the most captivating to be found in those days on the Bolshoi stage. Since then, I have witnessed nearly 20 other Titel productions. A few have misfired, but most have shown him to be a director of exceptional skill and imagination. Notable works in recent seasons include Jacques Offenbach's "The Tales of Hoffmann" and Vladimir Kobeikin's madcap "Hamlet (Danish) (Russian) Comedy," both at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko.
Titel began his career as a director at the Yekaterinburg theater in the early 1980s. Returning to stage an opera for the first time since 1991, he came up with what I consider to be among his very finest work.
"Boris Godunov" exists in two versions, the first completed in 1869 and rejected by St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theater, in part because of the lack of a major female role. The second, dating from three years later, the Mariinsky eventually accepted and premiered. In reworking the opera, Mussorgsky discarded one of the original scenes and added three others, two of which are set in Poland and feature a female role: a noblewoman named Marina Mnishek, who has attached herself to Grigory, the pretender to the Russian throne, with the aim of joining him in leading a Polish army to overthrow Tsar Boris and converting Russia to Catholicism.
For their production, Titel and the Yekaterinburg theater chose the less frequently performed 1869 version of the opera. And though I rather missed the glorious lyrical music in the Polish scenes of the revised version, Mussorgsky's initial attempt at "Boris" struck me, not for the first time, as the more dramatically powerful of the two.
The "Boris" of 1869, without the distraction of Marina Mnishek, focuses attention almost entirely on the opera's principal protagonists: Tsar Boris, tortured in mind and soul for bringing about the murder of the tsarevich, Dmitry, the last surviving son of Ivan the Terrible, and illegitimately acquiring the Russian throne; and the long-suffering people of Russia, as represented by the chorus in the scenes at Novodevichy Monastery, at Boris' coronation in the Kremlin and on Red Square.
In the Yekaterinburg production, Titel manages with remarkable success to enhance the dramatic effect still further by moving the action forward from the turn of the 17th century to modern times and by playing the opera's seven scenes without an intermission. Moreover, he devised action for both principals and choristers that clearly lays out the story and, at every moment, or at least every important moment, seems entirely motivated.
Titel's longtime Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko colleague designer Vladimir Arefyev created a set for the production in the form of a semicircular wall with crumbling plaster and exposed red bricks that was moved around in such a way as to serve very effectively for both outdoor and indoor scenes.
Besides Titel and Arefyev, two other Muscovites were involved in the premiere of "Boris." Helikon Opera bass Alexei Tikhomirov, imposing both vocally and physically, proved a near-perfect choice for the title role, and tenor Oleg Polpudin, from the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, sang robustly as the pretender Grigory.
The monk Pimen, who chronicles the tale of Boris' ascension to the Russian throne, was solidly handled by Mariinsky bass Alexander Morozov, while the rest of a generally excellent cast was drawn from the Yekaterinburg theater's own roster of singers. Among the latter, Oleg Savka performed with particular distinction in the brief but key tenor role of the Holy Fool (the Yurodivy), whom a leading American expert on Russian music, Richard Taruskin, has characterized as expressing both the voice of Mussorgsky himself and "the voice of Russia's self-consciousness … defining the nation-yurodivy whose mission it is, earned through suffering, to bear the truth to the world."
German maestro Michael Guttler, a frequent guest conductor at the Mariinsky over the past decade who is due to lead Giuseppe Verdi's "Macbeth" at the Bolshoi next spring, provided strong musical leadership and drew exceptionally fine playing from the theater's orchestra.


Wonder, Play, Learn, Hack, Share. Living in perpetual beta.
After the first couple of classes, I think it's time to reorganize the team dynamics a bit. The girls were going off track qite a bit and not progressing towards the objectives as I had hoped. There is too much chaos and I believe they will end up like the real Jamestown Colony and cease to exist. Yes that would be interesting in a study, but I really want the girls to work together towards the goals of cooperation and create a successful town. I want them to really understand that it's hard work to create and maintain a working town.
I'll give it another try with the reorganizing as pictured above and see if it works. Otherwise, they will fail. Which is okay too.

Mr. Moore + Minecraft = Moorecraft!
Here is my colleague's 6th grade Social Studies class using the popular open-ended game Minecraft to learn about history! We piloted this project last year and learned a lot more of what we can do. This is his second year doing this and its amazing! This project includes the recreating of ancient civilizations. The students are so engaged that they are not just talking about the game, but actually are talking about why those civilizations chose certain places to build settlements. The best part I think is where the students are learning how to work together. A lot of frustration and arguments do happen. Just like in real life.
My 6th Grade boys are recreating Djoser's Egyptian Pyramid in our tech/social studies class. It seems to be a huge hit with the boys!
Here are some screenshots of the boys at work. I'm using my "god view" powers to fly over them and making sure they are working hard.

Events, Festivals and Holidays in Asia
Date: 01. Jan 2022
In asia, some countries celebrate New Year's according to their own calendar system. However, many countries celebrate and recognize this holiday as International New Year's holiday.
New Year's Eve is observed on January 1, the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian and Julian calendars. During the pre-Christian Rome, the day was dedicated to Janus, the god of gateways, and beginnings.
New Year's Eve 2022 Date
The early Roman calendar designated March 1 as the new year. The calendar had just ten months, beginning in March. That the new year once began with the month of March is still reflected in some of the names of the months.
The New Year was first celebrated on January 1 in Rome in 153 BC. In was the day new consuls in Rome took office and Romans had commonly used the name of the two consuls to identify a year.
Most nations in Asia celebrate this holiday as the rest of the world. However, some of them also have their own New Year's celebrations – usually attached to their own traditional calendar system.
New Year's Eve is the last day of the year which occurs on December 31 six days after Christmas Day. New Year's Eve in Asia is not such a big attraction in many Asian countries and things like countdown and fireworks at the midnight are likely uncommon.
However, in larger cities, you might see some amazing light effects.
Beijing canceled most New Year celebrations in the city due to safety concerns. However, there are a lot of New Year's parties across the country.
In Japan, traditional activities on New Year's Eve include watching the popular music program "kohaku uta gassen" on television and visiting a shrine or temple around midnight.
In Seoul, there is a large fireworks display throughout the city in order to celebrate New Years in South Korea.
In Bali, Indonesia – Since Bali is a popular destination for tourists, New Year is celebrated on the beaches and streets. This usually attracts plenty of locals and tourists.

An attempt at a new layout, with horrible glitches, and very minimal knowledge of HTML.
Cinema, television, literature, and music–basically anything that can be reviewed. If you're interested in writing reviews, e-mail us at dacouchtomato@gmail.com. We won't pay you for reviews, but you get to practise your writing skills. It's a win-win situation for everyone.
Tron: Legacy. IMAX 3D
The thing with movies like this is that it lends itself to be reviewed technically. So how do I make it technical, but still funny?
A 19-year old Brad Pitt isn't funny. It's intimidating.
Yes, that's Brad Pitt. Yes, that was taken in 2009. And no, Brad Pitt isn't in this movie. But they did use the same "Fountain of Youth" software they used in Benjamin Button to create this strikingly accurate 19-year Brad Pitt mug to create a more youthful Jeff Bridges. And that settles it: CGI is the new latex. Gone are the days when Eddie Murphy would rule the box office by masking himself with latex and doing accents.
Gone are the days of Eddie Murphy playing a white man.
Actors: say goodbye to those long hours on the make-up chair for those scenes where you're supposed to look decades older or younger. And on that note, CGI artists: say hello to long hours on the editing chair and eyestrain. The make-up artist's job didn't really disappear; it just got absorbed by post-production.
"Shouldn't I be getting a raise?"
Okay, this review will be split into three parts: the Tron, the IMAX, and the 3D. I told you this would be a bit technical, so it might get boring from this point on.
Unless you love technicals, like Rasheed Wallace.
The Tron
Narrative fiction, once put into form, will in the process create as a by-product either 1) a World; or 2) a Universe. A Universe is basically a World, only bigger, and more complex. Let me just give examples instead of explaining.
Harry Potter: Universe.
Star Wars: Universe.
Lord of the Rings: Universe.
The Sopranos: World.
Inception: World.
The Matrix: World.
Now before you open your mouth to ask why The Matrix is only a world while Harry Potter is a universe, listen up first.
A World and a Universe are similar in that both are constructions of a narrative as a sort of cage that will define the borders wherein the narrative moves. Of the two, the World is smaller in size, since a Universe may encompass two or more Worlds. However, a World and a Universe are different in that a Universe is more complex, and because of its bigger size, is bound by more rules. This is the reason why Universes are usually created by sagas, because the depth and detail of fiction most of the time requires more than one episode to flesh out.
A World can be described as a reality resembling our own, with only a few minor differences. A Universe, meanwhile, can be described as a reality which may or may not resemble our own, and whose very existence is solidified by the sheer volume of its back stories and side stories.
Tron: Legacy is a tale that is screaming to be told as a Universe, but falls short and instead comes off as a World—a dense world with lots of loose ends and unnecessary connections. Okay, I admit I vaguely remember the first Tron film (except the fact that I watched it on Betamax), so it could actually be a Universe. But until I see that film again, I shall reserve judgment on this Universe-World debate. Or at least if they can decide if Tron: Legacy is a sequel to the eighties flick, a reboot, or a sequel slash reboot.
"Am I a sequel, a reboot, or a sequel slash reboot?"
The IMAX
The SM North IMAX screen is definitely smaller than the Mall of Asia IMAX screen. The one in MOA had such a huge screen that it couldn't fit in your field of vision. You had to look at the screen in sections. But that IMAX screen in SM North should be called IMAX-Mini instead. I was waiting for the screen to swallow me whole. Sadly, it never happened.
This has now made me doubt the quality of those supposed IMAX movies. For those who don't know, IMAX movies are a totally different format altogether. They are shot with IMAX cameras on IMAX film, which is 70 mm by 48.5 mm, twice the size of the regular 35 mm format. So that means the depth and clarity is twice that of regular film. I distinctly remember seeing an IMAX trailer in MOA for the film The Alps, and being blown away by the size of the picture. I know IMAX cameras are damn heavy, so I doubt that this Tron: Legacy and the upcoming Green Hornet flick were really shot with IMAX cameras. I think they were just blown up to IMAX proportions, which is why the sharper-eyed among you will notice that the picture looks a bit grainy. IMAX is supposed to look like the HD of celluloid.
So, note to self: Only watch IMAX movies that were shot with IMAX cameras and intended for an IMAX release.
Maybe it's just me, but this film did not have the same depth as Avatar, or U2 3D. Yes, this was shot with 3D cameras. But it's not enough to just shoot with 3D cameras. A good 3D director must know how to maximize depth perception, so that everything, from the framing to camera movements, has to bring out this depth. What moviegoers are actually paying for in a 3D film is the illusion of depth perception.
Again, this has to do with deciding the release. If the studio intends an exclusive 3D release, then the cinematography will have to follow 3D rules, and the final 2D version will just use either the left or the right image. The problem comes when the studio intends for both a 2D and 3D release. The rules of cinematography are slightly different between 2D and 3D, and to choose one would sacrifice the other.
So that's that. But before I go, I'd like to end on a non-technical note.
Mr. Michael Sheen, this is your worst role. Ever. If you ever do another role like this again, or if they make another Tron movie and cast you again as Zuse, I swear I shall boycott all your films from that day forward.
And wipe that smirk off your face.

Sue Denim said...
Grabe, nahilo ako sa techicals. Hahaha. But I agree, Tron: Legacy doesn't really live up to the hype:
1. There's really something very digital to the young Jeff Bridges' face. I was hoping I wouldn't notice it like in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but my "normal eye" easily noticed it.
2. Story doesn't make too much sense. Sorry, but I can see flaws in a lot of scenes. I could even predict some scenes with not much effort.
3. I would have wanted Garrett Hedlund to display more of his acting chops as he did in Friday Night Lights. I think I must see Country Strong to have a dose of his wasted good talent in this movie.
4. Michael Sheen's character Zuse is really annoying, especially with his white cake face. And that dumb sidekick bald guy Jarvis is blah.
5. IMAX or 3D or IMAX-3D is a waste of money here. And SM North's 3D glasses sucks! They don't fit well and it's very irritating.
Thank you. Bow. ;-D
Sting Lacson said...
Like I said, it might get a bit boring. Hehe.
And IMAX is so not a waste of money. It just has to be a "proper" IMAX film.
Well, I have yet to see a "proper" IMAX. Ehem. Hehehe.

The Festival Production Management Training is a new format of The Festival Academy, an initiative of the European Festivals Association (EFA). It focuses especially on production management in terms of realising and implementing the vision of the artistic director. The training looks at the practical side of this process, with special attention given to working with artists. The pilot edition will kick off 20-23 January 2016 in Antwerp, Belgium in collaboration with deSingel International Arts Campus. 25 young festival production managers have been selected to participate in the pilot edition. The Festival Academy is now looking for festivals to host one of them for a 1-week placement.
During the training, participants will meet and exchange with experienced production managers and artists, including set designers, light designers, conductors, choir leaders etc. The training is set up as a long-term programme which explores all phases of producing an artistic work: a programme with 3 modules spread over a period of one or more year(s).
Module II of the Festival Production Management Training is a 1-week practical, hands-on placement at a festival: Working directly with a festival's production manager, participants will be able to apply and improve their skills in the context of a festival. The festival covers accommodation, local transport, food or per diems and insurance.
The Festival Academy works with a network of high-level festivals of all genres from across the globe. Festivals interested in hosting a 1-week placement are invited to contact us at info@thefestivalacademy.eu.

The Son Of Sullivan And The Invisible Victim
You have to laugh at the Jayson Blair scandal. A young African-American reporter on the New York Times has been found to have lied again and again, without being fired - apparently for reasons of "affirmative action," compounded by Times Editor Howell Raines' "white Southern guilt."
Blair not only made things up, and plagiarized, but he lied about his whereabouts, telling editors he was calling from Virginia and Maryland, when he was still in New York.
The scandal has led people to recall the NYT's mendacious record on both Stalin and Castro. But it 's also worthwhile recalling the story behind New York Times v. Sullivan, the famous 1964 Supreme Court decision that effectively rewrote libel law for American public figures.
Sullivan has been cited as a prime example of "judicial realism" - the cynical view that judges just make up their minds and then adjust the law to fit their personal vision of how things should be.
In Sullivan, the "Committee to Defend Martin Luther King and the Struggle for Freedom in the South" was sued by a white southern public official, L. B. Sullivan. He contended that he had been defamed by an ad in the New York Times, which became a co-defendant. [See the original ad, PDF, JPG].
Justice William Brennan said in the decision that "It is uncontroverted that some of the statements contained in the two paragraphs were not accurate descriptions of events which occurred in Montgomery."
Which is to say that the statements weren't true.
The advertisement was signed by Hollywood stars, and also by several black clergymen in the South (who said that they had not authorized the use of their names.)
But "Judicial Realism" meant that there was simply no darned way that the Supreme Court was going to rule for a white Southern segregationist, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Justice Brennan decreed public figures had to prove "actual malice" , i.e. that the untruths were deliberate. This "Actual Malice Standard," combined with later decisions that made almost anyone in the news a "public figure", effectively meant the end of libel protection in the United States.
This is a good thing for those of us who like to criticize politicians. But it cuts both ways: the SPLC can call VDARE.COM all the names it wants. And the reviewers of Alien Nation and The Bell Curve obviously didn't feel "chilled" by the possibility of a libel suit.
Sullivan protects me, when I criticize Linda Chavez. And it protects Peter Brimelow when he uses the word "treason." [Peter Brimelow says: That's different. Immigration enthusiasm is treason!]
The New York Times has a worldview. And it continues to lie about some things, ignore or minimize others, inflate stories that fit its worldview, and to hide from criticism.
Now, I don't think that the government should be in the business of enforcing the truth. Blogger Jeff Jarvis views with alarm the fact that the U.S. Attorney is looking into the Jayson Blair case. (I'm sure it would be possible to call Blair's conduct "fraud.") Someone has even suggested suing the Times on a class-action theory. Tsk tsk.
But it's fascinating to see the Times suffering the consequences of affirmative action, a system it has defended, and tried to deny using in this case. (Possibly because affirmative action is illegal.)
And you have to wonder: why is it OK the New York Times to lie but not its employee?
Finally, lest we forget: there's one young reporter whose name we don't know, who hasn't been mentioned in any report of the Blair scandal. That's the young reporter Jesse Helms was anticipating in his famous "white hands" ad; [watch].
The young reporter who needed a job, but they "had to give it to a minority. Is that really fair?"
The young reporter displaced by Jayson Blair may be better off working on the city desk at the Toledo Blade – or, more probably, outside the media business altogether- than working in New York for the "paper of record."
But neither this invisible victim nor the nation he might have served will ever know.

The Moral Hazard Of Not Enforcing Immigration Law
18 illegal aliens just lost their lives when their smuggler drove off and left them locked in a trailer compartment in the Texas heat. One was five years old.
Some people don't blame the smugglers. According to the New York Times,
"'This is not entirely the fault of the smugglers, though they are certainly unsavory people,' said Rogelio Nuñez, director of Proyecto Libertad, a legal services organization for illegal immigrants in Harlingen, Tex. 'This incident and others like it have come about because harsher U.S. policies toward the border has made it more difficult for people to come across, [VDARE.COM note: i.e. illegally] increasing the risks they're willing to take.'"
["Trapped in Heat in Texas Truck, 18 People Die," By Simon Romero and David Barboza, May 15, 2003,]
Bunk. It's not the harshness of border controls that makes people take risks, it's the size of the taxpayer-funded reward,
"Moral hazard" is the insurance industries term for putting temptation in people's way by allowing them to insure something for more than it's worth.
If your house is worth $50,000 if you sell it, and $250,000 if you burn it, you may be tempted to the legally hazardous and physically dangerous expedient of arson. That will endanger not only you, but the people next door. The insurance company would be partly responsible.
That's why insurance companies go out of their way to avoid rewarding crime.
The United States government gives many rewards to illegals who can make it across the border.
They get
Citizenship for their children
The problem is that they have to risk their lives to gain this, crossing through some of the worst desert in world, at the mercy of gangsters who may rob them, or (as in this case) abandon them to their deaths.
If the U.S. government would stop rewarding border crossers, and deport them after they made it through, then perhaps they would be inspired stay home and build a better life for themselves in Mexico - which needs them more than the United States does.

and Guess 'What About That Alien-Smuggling Truck Driver?
In line with the media custom that immigrants are only victims, never criminals, Laurie Johnson reports on Houston Public radio [Listen to audio] that the driver who allegedly abandoned them was Tyrone Williams, a "lawful resident alien from Jamaica," but the station's website headline reads Smuggling Suspect has Houston Tie
Why not "Smuggling Suspect Has Immigration Policy Tie?"
And the "paper of record?" It referred to him only as "Tyrone Williams of Schenectady, N.Y."
You can trust the Times, can't you?

Sony Music has bagged the copyrights of Irandam Ulagam's exclusive rights and are all set to make this Audio launch a gala one.
Selvaraghavan's fantasy movie for the first time has Aarya and Anushka apparently donning a double role for the first time, and the posters of the movie are already making the town doubling with gossips.
The movie marks Harris Jeyaraj teaming up first time with Selvaraghavan, and knowing Selva who believes big time in BGM and songs for his movies, this will be a treat indeed.
The Audio launch is slated to happen on August 4 and a number of celebrities are believed to chip in. PVP cinemas have produced this mega budget movie, which is currently in the post production stage.

Q: SQL JOIN and LEFT JOIN the same table with differents conditions I need to JOIN a table when certain conditions are met and LEFT JOIN it when other conditions are met. Since I am in a MS Dynamic CRM with filters, I can't use UNION
   SELECT stuff.stuffs
     FROM MainTable

JOINS othertable
LEFT JOIN othertables

LEFT JOIN TableX as X1 ON (Conditions1.1 = X1.1
                      AND MainTable.Type = 1)
     JOIN TableX as X2 ON (Conditions2.2 = X2.2
                      AND MainTable.Type = 2)

*

*If I comment out the X2 part, I get what I need from the X1 part and nothing from the X2.

*If I LEFT JOIN the X2 part, I have extra information in X2.

*If I leave it as such, I get what I need from the X2 part, but nothing from X1.

I tried a few variants, but I can't reach a satisfactory solution.
EDIT: My original query was as such:
SELECT stuff.stuffs
     FROM MainTable

(LEFT) JOIN TableX as X1
         ON (Conditions1.1 = X1.1
             AND MainTable.Type = 1)
     OR
         ON (Conditions2.2 = X2.2
             AND MainTable.Type = 2)

But if it is as left join, I get extra info from X2
and a JOIN give me missing info from X1,

A: I'm thinking you need to try this instead:
   SELECT stuff.stuffs
     FROM TABLEX x
LEFT JOIN MAINTABLE mt1 ON mt.1 = x.1
                       AND mt.type = 1
LEFT JOIN MAINTABLE mt2 ON mt.2 = x.2
                       AND mt.type = 2

A: The actual matching needed is not clear in the OP, but you could try something like:
Select stuff.stuffs
From MainTable
    Left Join TableX As X1
        On ( MainTable.Type = 1 And X1.1 = ...)
            Or ( MainTable.Type = 2 And X1.2 = ...)

Given what you have added to the OP and in comments, it is still not clear whether you seek rows from TableX that satisfy either condition or one and only one of the conditions. However, for completeness here's both:
Either condition: My original solution above and the solution you added to your post.
One and only one of the conditions:
Select stuff.stuffs
From MainTable
    Left Join TableX As X1
        On X1.1 = ...
    Left Join TableX As X2
        On X2.2 = ...
Where ( MainTable.Type = 1 And X1.PK Is Not Null And X2.PK Is Null )
    Or ( MainTable.Type = 2 And X2.PK Is Not Null And X1.PK Is Null )

What is missing from the original post is any notion of foreign keys references from TableX to MainTable. Thus, typically, I would have thought something like:
Select stuff.stuffs
From MainTable
    Left Join TableX As X1
        On X1.FK = MainTable.PK
    Left Join TableX As X2
        On X2.FK = MainTable.PK
Where ( MainTable.Type = 1 And X1.Col1 = ...  And X2.PK Is Null )
    Or ( MainTable.Type = 2 And X2.Col1 = ... And X1.PK Is Null )
