I think you mean Antoine Fuqua. It's true the list of notable non-african black directors is pretty short... Steve McQueen (the director, obviously). The one in the Wayans brothers who is the director. 2 generations of Van Peebles... Charles Burnett... yep...

I am currently reading Daniel Abraham's The Long Price Quartet (starting book two of four atm) and it's very much worth my while for the time being. Not much action though, it's more about relations between complex characters in a context of commercial, political and romantic intrigues. EDIT...

That article gives a good sense of how insane the shooting was!

Unless it's a video game review and then 7 is failing.

It's shinny! Anyway, I'll buy mine when a game I really want to play is released. It will probably be for The Witness (my gaming PC is effectively a retro-gaming PC).

We have our quarter finals: [1] Djokovic, as expected, made light work of Granollers. The spaniard resisted during 6 games and then the floodgate opened: 6-3 6-0 6-0. vs [21] Youzhnymanaged to make the most of Hewitt's nerves for whom a quarter final against Djokovic in a Grand Slam would...

I recently played some Chrono Cross (PS1) until I got bored (took 60ish hours still!), completed Hotline Miami (PS3), completed the two available chapters of a strange point and click adventure game called Kentucky Road Zero (Steam - pretty fascinating narrative ideas and some brilliant visual...

Here is a little blog post by Cactus that explains how the AI works:http://dennaton.blogspot.ch/2012/11/...-miami-ai.html

Calling for Soriak: wasn't Cyprus in deep shit because banking represents an inordinate share of its economy, mostly because of wealthy russians using it as a tax haven?

Top half of the draw after three rounds: [1] DJOKOVICwas untested. He seemed to play well, but it's hard to tell because he faced very little opposition. R16:Granollers of all people found his way through the draw. The spaniard battled for five sets against another surprise: Smyczek, the...

Finally got to play a legendary game from the '80s that got rereleased in 2009:Tales of the Arabian Nights! The game is set in the world of the 1001 Nights, and each player take the part of a hero that leaves Baghdad to go on a quest around the world. As they travel, the heroes make...

Inside Man?

Update for the bottom half after three rounds: [8] GASQUETThings went as planed for the frenchman playing Russel, french qualifier Robert and 32nd seed Tursunov. Only the russian tested Gasquet, but the frenchamn managed to sail past the alternating patches of errors and winners of his...

I am surprised they did not change to another point system and then change to a new one every four months...MS points, MS coins, MS bucks, MS tokens, MS currency, etc.... just be sure they can only be bought in multiples of 100 and that all prices end in 90. A great business plan! EDIT...

Fundamentally, what are the condition for a rally to happen? Aggression must be controlled enough to not be a source of errors and impotent to the point of not generating winners nor forcing errors from the opponent. So a rally is when the sweet spot between doing too much and not doing enough...

Someone needs to see John Sayles' Lone Star!

I have to get some sleep, but I leave you with this for the time being:

Freudian slip?

The beauty of tennis is that there are as many ways of playing it as there are players, so the notion of 'perfect tennis' is pretty absurd. An Isner, since you mentioned him, will never play a 35 strokes baseline rally concluded by an insane passing shot, because his brand of perfect tennis...

I did not investigate past the info Lenardo posted (DS+3DS, no 3D, $130). It's true the design is a bit on the weird side... and why do a redesign without including the 2nd analog stick?

My 1st gen DS is on its last leg, so I might very well buy a 2DS and get access to the three or four 3DS games that interested me.

Note that when you are coerced and/or influenced into doing something, you still do it because you perceive it as best. 'Best' does not mean 'good' on some kind of neutral scale, it means better than all the other perceived options and their perceived consequences ("if I don't join the gang...

I don't think the problem is that there is sex trafficking, but that it is Russia's 3rd export behind Oil and weapons...

This is a remarkably silly comparison, because part of the business of NFL players is to be well known, to sell jerseys, to sell tickets. Part of the business of CEOs is to be the face of their company. Scientists? They have no reason to be known outside their peers, unless they decide to sell...

It should also be said that Russia used to have a big cultural aura in literature, music, cinema, visual arts and of course politics... today? The only significant contemporary russian author was a dissident (the late Solzhenitsyn) and as for movies you still have the likes of Sokurov (just won...

Lost Dungeons of Norrath. 5 assets per theme and what? 8 set dungeons per theme using these very few assets? If stuff is going to be bland, at least make it random!

We can already congratulate Ferrer on another Grand Slam quarter final, because both Gulbis and Janowicz lost in the first round! We can also do the same with Djokovic, as the only real threat was Dimitrov, who also did not win his opening match. Note that Nishikori also lost in the first round...

On a side note, there is an ok irish film mixing booze, comedy and alien attack called Grabbers:

Can't beat the Katamari as far as destruction goes!

A RR original for Tuco:

At least it was not Debra's boss!

1) The ring from Klonoa (that allows you to capture and throw enemies) 2) The machine gun from Cave Story (the one that allows you to fly with the recoil) 3) The shoot/shield/charge gun from Another World 4) The whip from Super Castlevania 4 5) The tranquilizer gun from MGS...2?

The ratings never was an issue for Leona, it was the official reason she would be able to use to fire Will, the officious reason being him pissing in her political cheerios.

It's a game of bluff. Obama said a year ago using chemical weapons is a red line that must not be crossed. Red line has been crossed. So you need to at least pretend you might do something about it, but it's all empty threats as long as Russia maintains customer service. On the up side, what...

That raises some important points. We have some people considering the 'American Way of Life' rules and the 'Thug Culture' rules and chose the 2nd option. That means they perceive the 2nd option as the best. What does it mean? Thug Culture rules are not exactly a stellar rule set. It promises...

That would be their 37th meeting... I'll one-up you with 7 doves for all four usual suspects to lose early. For fun: Berdych and Ferrer have been inside the top 30 for the last 8 years. They played each other a grand total of 9 times!

Imagine society as a game. You have to create a rule set that makes everyone want to play. The thing is, with the current rule set, some people see the game, see the differences in starting situations, the different progression paths or lack of thereof and decide: I am not playing that game of...
