Swinton: 'Just call me a film fan'

Never mind her Oscar-winning performance in 2007's Michael Clayton, British actress Tilda Swinton told a TIFF Mavericks panel on Sunday she's never called herself an actress.
"There's a number of words that make me heave, not because they're heave-worthy in themselves but because I don't feel like they really apply to me," said Swinton, decked out in a tailored black top, pants, and black shoes, at TIFF with yet another buzzworthy performance in the chilling British indie film We Need to Talk About Kevin from director Lynne Ramsay.
"There are two descriptions that I would feel happy with. One of them is 'film fan,' straight up, not a problem, I would take it, and the other one is 'artist's model.' But I never wanted to be an actor and I feel incredibly embarrassed and shifty if I get described as one 'cause if feels like it's fraudulent and I'm waiting for real actors to stand up and say, 'Guilty!' "
Swinton, 50, says she originally went to Cambridge University as a writer, before her agent introduced her to experimental filmmaker Derek Jarman who she would go on to make her early seven films in the mid-'80s with before his AIDS-related death in 1994.
"I was in London on the verge of becoming a gambler full-time, and I'm not joking," said Swinton who liked to play the ponies.
"Friendship is really what got me into the cinema in the first place. I think if I hadn't met him there's no way I would be a performer."
When asked if the modern day equivalent exists today she said: "This way of working is very clearly out there. It will never end. Generations will look to this model and will look to working this way and know it's an incredibly valuable way of working, particularly if you don't have any money."
American independent filmmakers discovered Swinton after she made a big splash in Sally Potter's gender-exploring 1992 film Orlando, casting her in such films as 1996's Female Perversions before Hollywood came calling with 2005's Constantine, The Chronicles of Narnia and Michael Clayton.
"Winning an Oscar, I still don't quite know what it means," said Swinton. "I wasn't brought up on this planet. I never wanted to win anything. The only thing I ever wanted to win was the Cheltenhem Gold Cup and I'm not a race horse!"
At the panel, many clips of her seminal films were shown by TIFF artistic director Noah Cowan, and she said of the process: "I'm very happy to be here with you all but it's real torture. It's like looking through that family album of photographs of yourself as a teenager that you hope nobody kept." 

Toronto 2011: Francis Ford Coppola unveils 3-D film 'Twixt'

Francis Ford Coppola's 3-D vampire movie "Twixt" made its world premiere Sunday afternoon at the Toronto International Film Festival, giving audiences a look at how the celebrated director of "Apocalypse Now" and "The Godfather" transformed a booze-soaked dream into a very dream-like film.

The film stars Val Kilmer as a washed-up writer of books about witches and Elle Fanning as a young female vampire; its conceit came to Coppola in a vivid sleep he had while in Istanbul, after a night of imbibing the strong Turkish liquor known as raki.

Filmed close to Coppola's wine country stamping grounds in Northern California, in towns such as  Guerneville and in Clear Lake County, "Twixt" is set in a place that is likely to please fans of "Twin Peaks."  

Kilmer's Hall Baltimore is a "bargain-basement Stephen King" who's on a self-run book tour, with a box of novels and a case of whisky in the back of his station wagon. He comes to the town of Swann Valley, a strange little place inhabited by off-kilter characters, including Sheriff Bobby LaGrange (Bruce Dern).

The town has a seven-faced belltower with seven clocks that never tell the same time, and seems to be spooked by a long-ago murder case involving a dozen children. Then there's the odd, slightly scary goth kids who have a campsite across the lake, and there's a dead body in the town morgue -- a teen girl with a stake driven through her torso.

There's no bookstore in town, so Baltimore is signing copies of his novel at the local hardware store, where he runs into LaGrange. LaGrange wants to team up with Baltimore to write a new book, a proposal that Baltimore is not super-enthused about until he hears LaGrange's idea and decides it just might work. Baltimore is down on his luck, hectored by his wife because they're broke and tormented by the death of his teenage daughter in a boating accident. (A detail that mirrors an event in Coppola's own life; his eldest son perished in a boating accident in the 1980s.)

Baltimore looks for further inspiration in his sleep, and encounters none other than Edgar Allan Poe in his dreams (a development that oddly echoes Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris," which also featured a tortured modern writer chatting with literary characters of the past). The scenes with Baltimore and Poe are ethereal, with an almost animated feel and a mostly black-and-white palette, with a few splashes of color -- the vampire's lips, Poe's yellow lantern.

Baltimore's attempts to get started on the outline of his novel are unexpectedly comedic, with Kilmer channeling various voices and characters (including a black basketball player) as he tries to write his opening lines.

There are two 3-D sequences in the film, one in the middle and one at the end. Coppola cleverly signals to audience members when to don their spectacles, with a sweep of a pair of 3-D glasses coming across the screen at the appropriate moment.

In an extended question-and-answer session prior to the screening, Coppola said the idea for "Twixt" came to him in "the wackiest of ways" after a night of drinking raki. Awakened by the Islamic call to prayer, he dictated the germ of the story into his iPhone and then developed the idea from there.

In explaining his influences for the film, Coppola said that he had always liked Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown" and that he had just read a collection of Poe's short works before coming upon the idea for "Twixt." "So I guess [Poe] was lurking there for me," he said.

Coppola said that "Twixt" was "a lot of fun to make" and that he hoped  it would be enjoyed in the same spirit. Just how soon audiences beyond Toronto will get a look at "Twixt," though, is unclear -- the film is still seeking a distributor.

The Man Replies: It 's Birthday Belleville Mature Big?

Q. And in 200 Belleville '2014 birthday? There are no plans yet to celebrate? Perhaps another big red shoes, so we have a similar pair?

- New Brunswick, Belleville

A. The only "shoes", you will see that time is one of Ed Sullivan "really big show" - a funny observation, which might even surpass Fest 175th city, Mayor Mark Eckert enjoyed in 1989.

In fact, you're jumping the gun a little, but next year, you can expect Eckert recommend that the City Council appoints a committee to start planning the party.

"It's a little early," he said. "But once we enter the first part of 2012, then we'll really start to make plans and have a group of people to start riding an idea of ​​what we do."

After all, I do not think we forget to say hello, George Blair, 10 March 1814, has asked the county seat moved to Cahokia a new, more centrally located in the solution in the middle of harvest? He shows his determination, Blair donated acres of land in the town square, cross the "Belleville" and "a beautiful city."

Now, Eckert is hoping to establish at least one wingding quartoseptcentennial compete with the city held a parade in 1989, and the ball at an auction, all culminating in a period of three days at the end of summer block party .

"What I would do and have not yet done is go back and pull the file to the 175th," said Eckert. "So we use it as a bit of a model, then we will begin to make plans and preparations, but if I have something to do with it. - If I have nothing to say - let's make this a very special celebration."

Q. Why is it called the Purple Finch, Purple Finch, when the breast is red? There is no purple dress Purple Finch, and I can say.

- Stephen Krause, of Collinsville

A. Trust me - your astute observation has not gone unnoticed by some of the best brains of the bird-of our time.

"(The name" Purple Finch ") may be misleading for a beginner, it is not purple, because we understand the term today, as is blue, or yellow," wrote Arthur Cleveland Bent in his 21-volume "Life of historic North American Birds. " "Crimson Finch would be a better name.

"However," he said Bent, "" purple "biblical and classical writers were very different from the Finch purple red man."

In other words, once you learn the history of color, the name of the bird may be less confusing. Long before the birth of Christ, seeking to recover from The Color Purple, that people saw in nature was an extremely difficult task.

Tyrian purple, for example, is a native of Tyre as early as 1600 BC It was produced by mucus gland hypobrachial of marine molluscs. Sound exotic? Well, get this: It would have been 12 000 shells to extract only 1 / 20 of a gram of pure color.

You can imagine how expensive it was. As a result, purple became the color of royalty because only the kings and queens can afford. Even the Roman emperor Aurelia reportedly rejected his wife's dyed purple silk dress, because you pay their weight in gold, according to a printing expert Dr. Richard Podhajny.

But as the Roman Empire fell, so did the use of Tyrian purple. In fact, the large scale production apparently stopped with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. He was replaced by expensive colors like a madman, a group of plants that produces a bright red dye.

Ten years later Pope Paul II introduced the "purple cardinal," which was a red dye extracted from the insect Kermes, according Podhajny. This tissue bright red, the color first luxury in the medieval period - and perhaps led to what you feel is inaccurate name of "purple" Well, because it was the color that people had come to associate with violet .

And just to show you that history is not all birds, Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, in 1917, the purple cardinal (Scarlet) and purple as the colors of the school.

"Love Crime"

The Gallic "Crime of Love" is a psychological thriller film in two parts, in a battle as sharp as a knife, as the title of the event. Neither half of the story is compelling, but Shivers first sequences at least offer a flirt love-hate relationship between two powerful women executives.

They played with Kristin Scott Thomas, Ludivine Sagnier change the degree of intrigue and basic needs, and less subtlety. The latest film by Alain Corneau ("Tous Les Matins du Monde"), who died in 2010, is a bit 'dark fun until it turns ridiculous and unsatisfying, nonsense, dressed in a steely cold blood in September.

An intriguingly ambiguous after-hours work session between Christine (Scott Thomas, effortlessly monstrous) and Isabelle (Sagnier, straining) kicks off the drama. Its undertow of seduction courses through succeeding scenes, as the women take the roles of mentor and protégée to outrageous lows. Master manipulator Christine bores in on Isabelle's insecurity, all but delivering her into the arms of her own sometime lover (Patrick Mille, convincing as a man out of his depth). When Christine takes credit for one of Isabelle's great ideas, the younger woman is willing to chalk it up to the law of the jungle, until her assistant (Guillaume Marquet) goads her to stand up for herself.

Switching its focus from the too-vague-to-be-believed depiction of multinational finance, the film turns into a reverse-engineered police procedural of a perfect crime. But however finely jigsawed the puzzle, the calibration is off.

"Love Crime." No MPAA rating. Running time: 1 hours, 46 minutes. At the Laemmle Royal, Beverly Hills.

Music: Checking in with Ry Cooder

Ry Cooder's career has spanned five decades, with the only stylistic constant being exploration and change.
He came to prominence as a session guitarist in the '60s working with the Rolling Stones, Captain Beefheart, Taj Mahal and many others.
Since then, he's been best known as a visionary world music pioneer and an advocate for American roots music as an indigenous form. His new album is "Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down."
An interview:
Q: The title of the album is "Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down." What does it mean?
A: It's an invitation to have a conversation. Hang up the cellphone and let's talk for a minute, so I can tell you what I'm thinking. I like the line. It's a funny line.
Q: "Pull Up Some Dust" paints a grim picture of the state of affairs in this country. Is it a call to action, or more a therapeutic release for you on a personal level?
A: At this point in life, I'm 64, I guess I look back and say that all the music I've done was therapeutic in one way or another, or at least cathartic. It's what I do and all I ever wanted to do, but now we're confronted with these terrible tendencies in this country and I began to think that I want to do what Woody Guthrie or Charlie Poole did or what some old blues singer might have done, which is to talk about their life through song. It's one of the great things that American music is, or was.
You could say it's a call to action, which Pete Seeger used to say it was. He would sing a song to an audience, and this instantaneous transformation would occur into a mood and emotional tone of solidarity and unity and kinship. It's a tremendous thing.
Q: You're critical of the current state of the music industry. What are you listening to right now?
A: What I do to soothe my shattered nerves is listen to classical most of the time because it's very spacious, it isn't demanding, and it contains all the good stuff that I like -- mostly the French impressionists like Ravel and Debussy and cats like that. It's visual and depicts nature in a healthy way that I find comforting. I also listen to Mexican music a lot of the time -- boleros and the romantic stuff because I really love the melodies. It's very charming, and it suits my fondness for the period sound.
Q: Have you reached a point as a guitarist where you feel satisfied with your own playing?
A: Right now I am, as of making this particular record. It's not because of the record, but more the timing -- where I am along my path. I'm playing what I like. Instead of saying there's a certain amount of frustration or that something's missing, I'm playing good stuff and I can hear it, and I'm not struggling with anything anymore.
Q: Every time I advance musically, I feel progress but I also become aware of a larger universe of possibilities.
A: Luckily it doesn't have to stop. You can just keep going, and it sounds better all the time. As people get older they get better, or more interesting anyway. The emphasis becomes more about expression and awareness than speed and technique. I'm a big fan of (Hawaiian guitarist) Gabby Pahinui. The older he got, the more meaningful everything was -- the more that was being said with each note.
Q: Do you still practice? What are you working on right now?
A: Every day. As much as I can stand to sit around and play. I got this great mandolin from a guy up in Canada who makes these incredible f-hole mandolins, and it's so magnificent that I've been playing it all the time.
Q: What's next?
A: I don't know what comes next. ... I also have a paperback book of my L.A. stories that is coming out in a couple of weeks. That's not so much a career move as something I like to do, so what the heck? Projectwise, I couldn't say. You never know. I don't need to be all scoped out. I don't plan well, so I just wait and see.

Lady Gaga And Her Little Sister, Natali Germanotta To Launch Clothing Line

Butchers beware, the meat dress is about to be the most requested dress of the season, at least if one lady has anything to do with it.

Lady Gaga is bringing her sister act center stage launching a clothing line with her lil sis Natali Germanotta. Natali, known as Baby Gaga to all the little monsters, shares her sister’s flair for the dramatic. The 19-year-old freshman fashion student at Parsons has already made a name for herself designing costumes for the upcoming off-Broadway production Simon Says.

If you are expecting a bubble dress, a frock covered in Kermit The Frog puppets or an incubator egg bag, think again. According to U.K. publication Grazia the clothing line will be “relatively normal and wearable.” The theme that Gaga has in mind is “to remodel the styles of classic icons from the past, for example, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Katherine Hepburn” but the glamorous styles will each come with a twist—like the white Marilyn dress made up in kinky rubber.”

This isn’t Gaga’s first forray into fashion. The diva created designs for her littlest of monsters when she debuted her “Gaga Goo Goo” clothing line for babies on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Actually it was a cute joke but we kinda wish it wasn’t. Those pee-wee platforms are fierce!

The Best Way To Burn Belly Fat

The best type of exercise to burn belly fat is good for aerobic exercise, according to new research.

The results showed that people who do aerobics in eight months has lost about 2.5 centimeters square, abdominal fat, measured by CT. It is about 1.5 times as many people who do a combination of cardio and weights, and about 20 times as much as those who only lifted weights.

"Resistance training is great for improving muscle mass and increase strength," said study researcher Cris Slentz, an exercise physiologist at Duke University. But aerobic exercise is better to lose belly fat because it burns more calories, he said.

The study found that people who did both aerobic and resistance has not seen improvements in their health - in terms of fatty liver, insulin resistance and other measures - for Beyond that they have only aerobic exercise.

Therefore, it is a time saver for people with overweight and obese do only aerobic exercise, researchers say.

The truth about belly fat

Belly fat, which scientists called visceral fat, is not causing more muffins. Instead, it is below the abdominal cavity, filling the spaces between the internal organs, the researchers said.

It is considered more hazardous to health than other fats and, as studies have shown that it is associated with a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

Although a combination of aerobic and resistance training is often recommended, few have studied the impact of the combination of the two, the researchers said.

"Our study aimed to identify the most effective form of exercise to get rid of the bad fat."

The study included 196 adults who were overweight, sedentary, aged 18-70 years who were randomly assigned to one of three groups of eight months of exercise: aerobic, resistance training or a combination of two

The group performed aerobic exercises, like jogging 12 miles a week to 80 percent of maximum heart rate. The resistance training group performed eight weight training exercises, do three sets of eight to 12 repetitions of each lift three times a week. The group has combined these two plans in their entirety. The researchers followed the participants and monitored to ensure maximum effort in terms of participation.

They found that aerobic exercise has also been better to reduce fat in the liver, this too can lead to fatty liver disease non alcoholic, a major cause of cirrhosis.

Aerobic exercise was better than strength training to improve insulin resistance and reduce liver enzymes and triglyceride levels - all of which are known to increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

"When it comes to increased health risks, where the fat is deposited in the body is more important than the amount of fat you have," said Slentz.

Aerobic training burns calories by 67 percent more resistance training in the study.

How much exercise do we really need to do?

Although training was rigorous study, previous research shows that the results could be achieved through moderate aerobic exercise program, Slentz said.

"What really matters is the amount of exercise you do, the amount of miles on foot and the number of calories you burn," he said. "If you decide to work in a low intensity aerobic, only take longer to burn the same amount of fat is not healthy."

The study was published in an upcoming issue of American Journal of Physiology Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Pass: Aerobic exercise is better than lifting weights to reduce belly fat.
