PostHeaderIcon Generation X author moves from fiction to fashion

A long way from moose and MountiesDouglas Coupland launches new line of clothing promising to 'explore a new way of seeing Canada'
Madonna's done it, so has Kate Moss – even Liam Gallagher's launched his own clothing line. But at last, fashion is taking a more literary bent as Canadian novelist Douglas Coupland collaborates on a limited collection of clothing and accessories.

From jackets to scarves, caps and bracelets, the Roots x Douglas Coupland line is intended, said the author of Generation X and Girlfriend in a Coma, to "explore a new way of seeing Canada" far removed from "birch bark and moose and Mounties".

"I've never really seen too much difference between writing or making visual art or designing furniture or clothing. It's still my brain – I'm just using different parts of it for different things," said Coupland on the Roots website.

"I began doing writing projects and art and design projects to explore a new way of seeing Canada. Roots is one more way of continuing this exploration. I want to present a wide-open Canadian sense of colour, adventure, communication and openness that defines our country."

PostHeaderIcon Supernatural Season 6: Season 5 finale leaves hopes for future

The Supernatural series finale of Season 5 was, of course, a success, like the whole series so far was. The end of the Season concluded the current series storyline. It was around saving the world from the Apocalypse and putting an end to Lucifer’s plans.

We won’t tell you how the show ended, because you’ll want to watch the episode if you haven’t already.

What’s very important to know is that the show was renewed for a sixth season. This information has been officially confirmed by the CW network, the producer of the show.

One of the most important things about the sixth season is that it won’t be created by Eric Kripke. He was the creator of the show for the first 5 season, but he won’t be at the helm this time around. Executive producer Sera Gamble will be the one to take over from Season 6. Kripke will remain part of the crew as an executive producer, though.

PostHeaderIcon Iron Man 2 is tuned up like a well-oiled machine

A few years ago most pundits put the prerelease Iron Man prospects under the heading of risky business.

After all, the Marvel superhero flick was directed by the inexperienced Jon Favreau and featured the wobbly actor-in-recovery Robert Downey Jr.

After its release, great reviews and a global box office of $585 million US changed all that, elevating Iron Man 2 into the rare can't-miss category when the much-anticipated sequel opens May 7 in Canada and the U.S.

That's not to say the principal players were taking things for granted as they gathered at a Beverly Hills hotel to discuss the second picture in a planned trilogy.

Present and accounted for were the vindicated power duo of Favreau and Downey Jr., not to mention Gwyneth Paltrow. Newcomers attending included Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle.

"I've never done a sequel before, but for this, there wasn't the same pressure," said the 43-year-old Favreau. "We knew people were coming to the party. We just wanted to make sure it was going to be a good one."

Downey Jr. suggested he had a new set of challenges the second time around.

"It was another coming-of-age story, but in a different way," noted the 45-year-old.

In Iron Man 2, the world's aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) is the superhero, so the government demands that Stark share his military weapons.

Refusing to reveal his secrets for fear that the technology would fall into the wrong hands, Stark finds himself at odds with the very people he was trying to protect. Only former assistant Pepper Potts (Paltrow), who now runs Stark Industries, and Lt. Col. James (Rhodey) Rhodes (Cheadle, who replaced Terrence Howard) stay loyal.

PostHeaderIcon The Hometheater Package And It Components -- Small Appliance Such As Blu Ray Dvd Players. Etc.

We cannot deny that the world is changing fast and full of a lot of hassle and bustle. Relaxing and recreation, commonly termed nowadays as "R and R" is a must for any individual.

Surely, there is nothing more relaxing after a hard days work than getting your feet on the bean bag, your back on the most comfortable corner of cushion in the couch while you are listening to the best music you have or watching your favorite movie on a large crisp LCD screen coupled with the best home theater package.

But what does it take to have the "best" home theater package there is? A lot of people really invest to get the best home theater package they could possibly have. So what does it take for a person to have one? Just remember this rule: in home theater packages of the same brand, the more the speakers the better. This assumes that it already has a very good amplifier.

Also consider that for the best home theater package, a good user friendly remote control. Can you imagine having to walk back and forth from the console to your couch? This would be so primitive. It is mentioned here about the remote that it must be user friendly, like knowing all the functions of the buttons. It is such a waste to have those buttons which you have no idea how they function.

So you have them -- amplifiers, speakers and of course small appliances like the Blu Ray DVD players, the things that make up the best home theater package. There are many stores online for your comfort in which you could order without the hassle.

PostHeaderIcon It’s Official: Warner Bros. to Release CLASH OF THE TITANS and HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, Part 1 in 3D

Warner Bros. has confirmed what everyone already knew: Clash of the Titans and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 are going to be released in 3D.  They also announced Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Zack Snyder’s Guardians of Ga’Hoole are also going to be released in 3D.

With the worldwide success of Avatar, average moviegoers were exposed to 3D for the first time and they showed a willingness to wear the glasses and also pay a premium for the experience.  Therefore, it’s no surprise the studios are going to convert more of their 2D movies into 3D as it could means tens of millions of dollars in extra revenue.  The only problem with everyone going 3D is the amount of movie screens that are currently available.  As it stands, most movie theaters only have one or two screens that can handle 3D. Until theaters can run more 3D movies at the same time, it’ll be a battle every week for which movie plays in the theater.

I think we’re almost at the point that every big release is going to be in 3D and it’ll be more of a news story when the film is NOT released in the format.  I hope you like wearing the glasses. Hit the jump for the press release WB sent over:

PostHeaderIcon Death Experience Of Riya Sen

By: Rajesh Srivastava

Riya Sen when shooting in Guwahati
for a show had a real death experience in an accident on the sets of Shaadi No.1.
The team was shooting in France where Riya's scene required some hooligan French bikers to circle around and eve tease her. After the shot, the actress who was dressed in a backless walked over to the monitor to watch her take. At this point, according to Riya, one of the bikers who was acting fresh with her started riding in her direction while performing a stunt. But for a second the man lost control and rammed into the petite actress. Luckily for Riya, her impulse was quick enough and she turned her face away to avoid injuring it. Though, the jolt from the bike was hard enough to render her unconscious and she fell to the ground. She was immediately rushed to a government hospital where she woke up with a throbbing headache and a bruised back.

The funny thing is that Riya recalls that three cute guys who were supposedly hitting on her took her to the hospital. One wonders what happened to the cast and crew of the film who were on the sets when the accident happened.

The bottom line though, is that someone did help and the brain scan Riya had to undergo showed no serious injuries. What was injured however is the camera of one of the men who stood around capturing the incident on video. He lost his grip and his roll made an exit. Later, Riya managed to get hold of a copy of the video. This will ensure that she won't forget the near death incident for at least another few years.

PostHeaderIcon Actors Secret Weapon

The Actors Secret Weapon

How can I improve my acting skills? Well, there are schools, private acting coaches(pretty costly), books, etc. etc... of course you knew that already. All these are great ways to get better at acting. But you may not have the money for it. This article isn't about explaining to you all these different methods of learning to act. There are other articles for that. I'm just going to tell you one way of learning that seems to be getting more and more popular each day - especially with the younger crowd (teenagers and young adults).


Maybe you've done this already, maybe you haven't. OK, what seems to be catching on rather quickly and what a lot of aspiring actors are doing right now at this very moment as you're reading this, is recording themselves acting; for example, recording themselves performing monologues from movies and plays, or even come up with their own monologues. They read, memorize, act out the monologue on camera, then proceed to upload their videos on a video sharing website.


What's a monologue? "A part of a drama in which a single actor speaks alone"
Where can I find monologues? Just do a simple search on Google - type "monologues from movies" "monologues from plays" "monologues for girls" "monologues for men" etc.
Don't be shy, record yourself, this is a fantastic way to see where you need fixing. And if you're pretty good, you may even get noticed by casting directors and talent agents in the entertainment industry. I'm not guaranteeing it, but it could happen.


What do they use to record themselves acting? it can be their web cam from their laptop, PC or just a small digital camcorder. The picture quality doesn't have to be the best either, just good enough so that you can be seen clearly; and of course make sure your recording device has a microphone, I'm sure you knew that as well.
