BARRY GLIBB COMMENTS ON CREW LABOR OF 3D FILM MAKING IN NEW ZEALAND – WITH A REPLY FROM ME

“Middle Earth is a 3D film making environment of film making excellence, rich in imagination facilitating diverse culture’s vision (their tino rangatiratanga and unique cultural sovereignty of culture) and their vibrantly entertaining expression in 3D film. Middle Earth is rich in acceptance of others’ difference & a film making haven of World Peace”–Horiwood, 2020′s.

“In 3D, all nations are created equal, in Wellywood film making practices, imagination, execution and delivery of film production excellence.”–Abe Lincoln and Horiwood.

A film is not a film, unless it is made in the Spirit of the experimental filmmaker–Len Lye, filmic artist, Taranaki.

In New Zealand we collaborate and create the world’s next array of Super Heroes in 3D, with powerful messages of good that impact and change the global consciousness and future direction of the world, through Kiwi made pop culture in cinema, merchandising, music soundtracks and entertainment distribution–2020′s

Writes Barry Glibb of the Barry Glibb twitter page:

“Perhaps unemployed Americans should move to New Zealand to become underpaid production assistants for all these movies.”–Barry was responding to: “JAMES CAMERON’S AVATAR SOARS AHEAD ON WINGS OF HOBBIT LAW CHANGE”

A response: HORIWOOD – What a great idea Barry. The lifestyle that nature has to offer Americans, when not on set in New Zealand – is accessible to all – and would more than make up for any pay cuts.

Also, travel – let’s all people grow up and learn, outside their own cultural frames of reference.

It shows security within peoples own sense of identity, when Americans become a minority on distant shores and blend with the world too. Happily.

In New Zealand, people like dialogue, (not one-sided cultural monologue–so Americans will be more than fine in that switch and exchange). Exciting.

With New Zealand’s potential to attract Bollywood and China to New Zealand landscapes to film musicals and action films in NZ too in 3D in the future, the Americans who do make early inroads into NZ 3D filmmaking NOW – will be set with work for life.

NZ is going to become busy. A globally sought after 3D filmmaking nation. How New Zealanders welcome warmly diverse cultures of the world and overseas actors and crew members too (including those from Hollywood, Bollywood, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Dubai, Russia, UK–every now and again–France), will determine the return rate of these nations to NZ as a filmmaking nation. As far as America is concerned (Avatar’s record breaking success as Hollywood’s leading film of all time box office history), New Zealand is a culturally friendly place for Americans to work and conquer from, with a Hollywood-Wellywood partnership.

Conclusion: Your blog Barry, is rocking, albeit as minimalist as it is, I enjoyed the guide to your twitter account. Thanks for commenting. Incidentally New Zealand has 5% more women than men in its total population, so there’s a few girls that wouldn’t mind marrying an American crew member and sharing citizenship and beach views like no other. A lot to look forward to, aye?!

Wellywood is the box office winning 3D Film Franchises Haven of the film making world. Those who find success with their franchises, will all own homes in New Zealand on beach fronts and live there for most of the year. Their kids will be raised there. It’s the new more-relaxed mecca of box office power players, that can deliver proven results. Well, in 2020, this will be so–Wellywood is the World’s 3D Mecca. It is Middle Earth. A meeting place in The Middle for all cultures to realize the cinematic visions, without culture being compromised in the film making process. New Zealand is a culturally rich haven, paradise nation for this to occur for 3D film makers across the globe.  Good change ahead in Middle Earth.

I like your thinking Barry, where yes, film crew getting roughed around in Hollywood should move to NZ. Why not! NZ is a nation based on immigrants who joined the Indigenous Maori People, so as one of them, NZ can handle you bonding with us Maori-Kiwi lot. It’s how we came to be as a nation, just like America.

Incidentally how any nation has treated their Indigenous Peoples, is the barometer of all human rights relations in the world. It’s the gage of whether other cultures can be trusted dealing within our shores fairly as nations. So as a Maori-Kiwi if you want to move to NZ, I say… Go for it! Get on board brother. More studios other than WETA will spring up in New Zealand too, in order to handle the demand and keep a fair and competitive 3D filmmaking industry occurring in NZ. The economic possibilities are exciting.

PRECIOUS WINS AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD AT THE TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL

OprahMariahMaryJBlige

The Oprah Winfrey produced film Precious that Oprah and Tyler Perry produced, which stars singing diva and actress, Mariah Carey, picked up The Peoples Choice Award in Toronto, over the weekend.

Slum Dog Millionaire won the same award last year and The Whale Rider of New Zealand also won it too. This means Oscar noms and nods.

Mariah Carey plays a school guidance counsellor in a raw film about an abused teen named Precious. 

Precious is based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire. More proof that books being turned into movies is the way to go. The win for “Precious” follows on from the film’s Sundance Film Festival win where the touching movie won the grand jury and audience awards, respectively.

Piers Handling, co-director of the Toronto festival, said: ”I think people want to see real stories about real people

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Perez Hilton has filed a lawsuit against Polo Molina, road manager for the Black Eyed Peas, stemming from an incident following the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday evening in Toronto that left the celebrity blogger with a cut under his eye.

Perez filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, claiming battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is asking for a judge to award him monies in excess of $25,000 for general damages, as well as additional amounts for medical bills and expenses and punitive damages.

DOH! PEREZ HILTON, STILL DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORLD ASSAULT

PerezHiltonWillIAm

Oh dear… blogger Perez Hilton (real name, Mario Lavandeira) does not understand the meaning of the word assualt.

The blogger, who cried wolf for “mad attention” at a major music industry award in Canada, wrongly accusing music producer/ music artist, Will I Am, of The Black Eyed Peas for assaulting him… still has not offered Will I Am an apology for lying via twitter. Instead, Perez is now suing a different named assaulter, because he knows Will I Am did not assault him. (more…)

DID WILL I AM GO “BOOM BOOM POW” ON PEREZ HILTON’S BLACK EYED PEEEN?

PerezHiltonWillIAm

According to The Toronto Police, these are the only facts being given on Perez Hilton’s claim that Will I Am, went Boom Boom Pow on his peen, eye.

At 3am in a downtwon Toronto club, there was an “altercation” following the MuchMusic Awards. Mario Lavandeira (a blogger whose pseudonym is Paris Perez Hilton, has accompanied Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) to the awards. The Black Eyed Peas had performed “Boom Boom Pow” and had also won the prize for Best International Group. (more…)


THE HORIWOOD TOP 10 – MON 6.21.09

MuchMusic Video Awards CanadaBlogger Perez Hilton, claims he got assaulted by Will I Am in Toronto Canada. Will I Am denies the assault.  Perez Hilton said “The truth about how I was attacked in Toronto!There were MULTIPLE witnesses. What I say above is fact and it will be corroborated as such”

The blogger posts an emotional 11 minute video explaining what happened between him and Will.I.Am. He is posting the video as Mario Armando Lavandeira, Perez Hilton’s real name, because he is tired of living in Paris Hilton’s glass slipper, and court documents need to be filed in real people’s real names.

 In the video Perez says “Will.I.Am is a coward.” He adds “I didn’t ask for this, I didn’t deserve this”. Perez talks about how he got punched two or three times in the eye.

To view Will.I.Am’s video response here. Perez has always bagged the Black Eyed Peas #1 hit song, Boom Boom Pow from day 1. That’s the only cause I can see to Perez being assaulted at all by Will I Am, who is a favored hip hop performer of Barack Obama.

Although physical violence can never be condoned as a normal way of life, one can’t help but think of all the psychological violence Perez Hilton has caused many young rising stars, regarding their reputations and careers via his blog. Particularly young women in Perez’s hate campaigns against, Vanessa Hudgens, Avril Levine, Jessica Alba, Kristen Stewart of Twilight and New Moon, Miley Cyrus (up until this year) and such a long list of other young female Hollywood actors. Perhaps Perez forgets that violence comes in many forms.

When hit, stand up and take it like a man, and yes, go to court if you feel the need to. But don’t cry about it. It’s another PR grandstanding moment for Perez. It is almost July, and the blogger needs some press. I’m sure Dustin Lance Black, the Oscar winner whose naked sex pics, Perez Hilton widely disseminated last weekend on his blog, without a thought, is trying very hard not to think, “good job.” Perez needs to think about that, when karma gets served back on him, perhaps. Also when Rihanna is going to court for domestic violence with Chris Brown, why Perez feels the need to somehow think he’s Riri and get in on the act to, is lol funny, as to how he invents his press. Now it’s the Rihanna and Perez show as victims at the hands of black men in music. The dude has got ADD in a big way!

PAUL COHEN: THE BERNIE MADOFF LOOK-A-LIKE HAS A LOT IN COMMON WITH GEORGE W. BUSH

PaulCohenBernieMadoff

Recently George W.Bush joked publicly with Bill Clinton in Toronto, that looking like a “George W.Bush look-a-like” does not fare well in his favor these days in his home town of Dallas Texas. 

Well  imagine if you looked like Bernie Madoff?

For Paul Cohen, his uncanny likeness to Bernie Madoff has paid off for the 64 year-old, Jersey City man. Edmund Druilhert put out a casting call for a docudrama, “Madoff: Made Off With America.” Mr Cohen auditioned (ie: turned up) and landed the role. Says Druilhert, “[Cohen] had the best lips. I have to say he stood out.”

Perhaps George W. Bush could change his name, and go for those Goerge W.Bush look-a-like docudrama roles too then now that he’s exited The White House. :)


“WELCOME TO THE BILL & GEORGE SHOW”…

GeorgeBushBillClintonToronto

“Welcome to the Bill and George Show” was how George W. Bush introduced his guest appearance to 5,000 people in Toronto with fellow former President, Bill Clinton.

George, is one funny man… Here’s what he said:

Bush said that leaving the White House was like going from “100 miles an hour to zero.”

“A fellow walked up and said,’Hey, has anybody ever told you look like George W. Bush?’ I said, ‘It happens all the time.’ He said, ‘It sure must make you mad.’”

Nice to see Bush has got a sense of humor. It helps! (more…)
