Stars Back Amnesty International's Call For Women's Rights In Afghanistan
25 May 2012 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sir Patrick Stewart, Cynthia Nixon and Meryl Streep are among the stars backing an open letter urging U.S. President Barack Obama to support women's rights in Afghanistan.
The note from Amnesty International calls for Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai to make sure the rights of females in the war-torn country are not affected when international troops pull out.
Yoko Ono, Joan Baez and Sting are also backing the call, and the letter reads, "As champions of women's rights who are dedicated to protecting women's human rights, we are deeply concerned that the significant gains made by women and girls in Afghanistan may be threatened as U.S. and allied troops leave the country.
"We urge you to adopt a comprehensive action plan to guarantee that the clock is not turned back on a decade of strides in education, health, security and employment for women and girls. At stake is the future of Afghanistan, after billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives have been sacrificed. We believe if women's progress cannot be sustained, then Afghan society will fail.
"We are concerned that the U.S. and allied withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 may put women and girls at even greater risk of abuses... Women must be empowered in the educational, economic and political life of Afghanistan or the country will fail to achieve a stable and prosperous future after a decade of effort to secure and rebuild the country.
"Presidents Obama and Karzai, this is the defining moment to lead on women's human rights. Afghan women have never faced greater danger to the protection and advancement of their human rights; they need and deserve your support.
"We urge you to affirm that the Afghan and U.S. governments will protect Afghan women. Their human rights, their safety, their very lives must not be sacrificed as U.S. Armed Forces withdraw from the country." »
Dcc 2012: John de Lancie Takes You From Star Trek to My Little Pony
24 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
What does My Little Pony have in common with Star Trek? Let me share with you this most interesting moment during Sir Patrick Stewart and John de Lancie’s Q&A panel at Dallas Comic Con this past weekend. John de Lancie spoke about how Gene Roddenberry’s notion for a better future for mankind in Star Trek loosely related to 2011’s My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, where he voiced the antagonist, Discord.
“I ended up doing a cartoon show called My Little Pony. (crowd cheers) Didn’t know anything about it. I looked at the material. It was really good. I went there and knocked off a couple of [lines]. Completely forgot about it. (pauses) And then all of the sudden about four months later, I’m inundated about My Little Pony.
I go, ‘What?’ Discord! ‘What?’ and I turned to my wife and asked her what they were talking about. »

Dcc 2012: Hear Patrick Stewart Like You’ve Never Heard Him Before
24 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
The clear and enunciated voice of Sir Patrick Stewart is unmistakable. Stewart’s dignified onscreen presence owes significant credit to the signature sound of his voice. “You have the bridge, Number One,” as he’d say as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on the starship Enterprise in television’s Star Trek: The Next Generation. But did you know how far Stewart had to come from his native dialect from his native West Riding in Yorkshire?
At this past weekend’s Dallas Comic Con, Stewart regaled the eager audience at his Q&A session on Saturday afternoon with a taste of his original regional accent. This native accent is not just a tint on the English language, but an entire dialect unto its own. Take a listen for yourself below:

Stewart spent a number of years working on learning to speak in Rp or received pronunciation style of English. This is how »

African Cats (review)
8 May 2012 10:13 AM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
Disney’s new nature documentary division -- called simply Disneynature -- got itself off to a rough start a few years ago. Its first outing, 2009’s Earth, was an unsatisfying mishmash of bits excised from the BBC’s much acclaimed -- and very much longer -- TV series Planet Earth. Oceans, in 2010, suffered from screensaver-itis and poor narration. But now, with its third film, African Cats, Disneynature hits its stride, triumphantly. (Cats is just now getting a belated theatrical release in the U.K.; it was in cinemas this time last year in North America, and is now available on DVD in the U.S. and Canada.) Directed by celebrated BBC nature filmmaker Alastair Fothergill -- also behind Planet Earth -- and Keith Scholey, this is a gorgeously photographed, astonishingly intimate look at two big-cat families in the Maasai Mara, a game preserve in Kenya that continues into the Serengeti. »

Wil Wheaton gets weepy when Star Trek: Next Generation cast reunites
3 May 2012 10:56 PM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
This past Sunday in a cowboy hat wearing city of Canada known as Calgary, the entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation got together on stage for the first time in a looooong time. Not only were the seven principle cast members up there in front of 7,000 fans (Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton) but so was fanboy enemy #1 himself, Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) and even that dead sexcurity chief of the USS Enterprise, Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby).
While it's only Patrick Stewart who's gone on to have what could be called a bigger acting career after his Tng time, the cast members that hung in there for all seven full seasons (and four subsequent theatrical Trek movies) probably don't need to work another day in their lives, if they want. That's not so true for Wheaton and Crosby who missed »
