So, we eat, we chat we 'do' grappa and then we dessert. Well at least B and B do. Upon asking for a cheese plate by a waiter we presume was called Todd (no reason, he just looked like a Todd) we were told 'we don't do cheese plates, it's just not on the menu'.

Holy moly. So they can offer 3 types of cheese on a cheeseburger but not 3, or even British Airways style, 2 types of cheese and a bloody water biscuit? 

It's not like I'm asking for unicorn tears; I'm asking for what is proper and normal. And yet the Odeon can't bring me this passed your eyes delight. So passed my eyes it's clearly in the next sodding restaurant.

Shame on you Odeon, with you lovely meal and your fabulous grappa  - is a little cheese too much to ask?

In perfetto stile con il Cinema, oggi vi propongo qualcosa di decisamente più piccante rispetto al post precedente... e la sorpresa si nasconde proprio dietro la protagonista della pellicola! (battutaccia eh?)

Il materiale in mio possesso in questo caso è davvero ricco e gustoso. Vi posto infatti la lettera di presentazione (nb: L.R. sta per Luci Rosse) e una simpatica brochure di ben due pagine a colori fronte retro!

"Tenga presente che è un film SEXY, ma comunque ai margini della L.R. - Veda lei se può accontentarci"

Peccato che non ho ancora trovato niente riguardante "Vanessa Tigre Sesso"...

E adesso viene il pezzo migliore ecco la locandina!

non possono mancare le foto tratte dal film...

e poi il retro della brochure con una interessantissima sinossi del film

Tra l'altro la signorina in questione con questo film credo sia arrivata ad un soffio alla candidatura all'oscar! Altro che Pamela Anderson, altro che Baywatch, noi abbiamo Pamela Prati che è molto meglio!

Entre os filmes, "Tá", de Felipe Scholl, que participou do Festival de Berlim 2008 e levou o prêmio Teddy de Best Short Film. Os ingressos para a sessão custam a R$ 10 (inteira) e R$ 5 (meia).

Outras opções na figura ao lado. Mais detalhes no site http://www.cineclubeglbt.com.br.

Fiz esse video semana passada no cinema Odeon aqui em Florenca (o mais lindo que ja vi). Fui com meu amor assistir Indiana Jones, por sinal ele morre no final hahaha.

---------------

I made this video last week at Odeon's cinema in Florence (the most beauty cinema I've alredy seen). I went with my love to watch Indiana Jones movie. Sorry, but he die at the end of the movie haha.

Come forse alcuni di voi sanno, sono in possesso di parecchio materiale (non fate i maliziosi, c'è di tutto) proveniente da un cinema porno che ha chiuso una decina di anni fa.

Molti di voi conoscono la mia vasta collezione di locandine, che per inciso in questi giorni si è ulteriormente arricchita grazie all'apertura di un mobile che era stato fin'ora completamente ignorato, ma non tutti sanno che nel cinema ho trovato anche molti documenti, lettere, brochure e adesivi.

Alcuni sono veramente memorabili, probabilmente hanno anche un valore sul mercato degli estimatori, e non mancherò di pubblicare alcune foto e scannerizzazioni.

Ma veniamo al primo oggetto "venerabile" rinvenuto in una lettera tutta ingiallita dal tempo...

Da una veloce lettura di imdb (link) sembrerebbe che "konga" sia il figlio di king kong...

Déjà il pleuvait ce jour-là, donc ça c'était relou, et première désillusion en entrant dans la magnifique salle dirigée par Olivier Py, Keny Arkana, rappeuse de l'inutile, sera également présente pour parler de son vécu de militante. Dans les fauteuils rouges du théâtre, les premiers arrivés sont les mieux habillés. Les préposés à l'autogestion fument une ultime clope dehors, avant d'investir le fond de la salle, histoire de pas faire trop bons élèves. Également présente, une sosie officielle de Christine Lagarde. Tous sont venus pour entendre pour entendre parler d'imaginaire subversif dans un décor un peu somptueux.

Puis vint la première nouvelle réconfortante, Keny Arkana (dont Laure Adler, organisatrice de la soirée, salue "l'engagement et la qualité artistique") n'a pas donné signe de vie depuis quelques jours, et elle ne sera sans doute pas là. 

Premier tour de parole pour Mathieu, trois anciens élèves de Montreuil sont derrière lui, l'appellent "Potte", du coup je n'écoute pas trop. Et pourtant c'était sans doute l'orateur le plus intelligent de la soirée. Il parle des slogans de 68 ("cache-toi objet"), du dernier clip de Justice, du bon usage des valeurs de 68 dans nos pratiques de consommateurs. 

C'est le moment choisi par les quelques déçus de l'absence de Keny Arkana pour faire lever les personnes de leur rang et sortir de la salle, par un couple pas très loin de moi pour se dire "ta gueule. je t'ai pas parlé tu me parles pas", puis par Michael Hardt pour casser le mythe: les luttes actuelles sont bien supérieures à celles de 68. Puis son exposé devient longuet, son très lourd accent anglais transforme "joie" en "shoah", bref c'est la confusion, et puis tout le monde attend Naomi Klein alors après une ultime citation de S. Zizek ("à Hollywood on imagine plus facilement la fin du monde que celle du capitalisme") son tour vient.

Naomi parle un français bof bof alors elle est accompagnée d'une traductrice dont le débardeur vert pomme ferait croire qu'elle est encore au collège. D'ailleurs elle sera peu à peu submergée par le flot de paroles de Naomi : il était nécessaire de comprendre l'anglais pour comprendre Naomi. Tellement submergée qu'elle revisitera un vieux dicton jusqu'à lui en donner un sens nouveau: quand on fait son lit, on se couche.

Naomi pense aussi que le mouvement altermondialiste avait et a une force insoupçonnée, qu'il n'est pas mort mais que les médias l'ont juste rendu invisible, comme ils ont auparavant rendu invisibles les manifestations monstres de travailleurs mexicains sans-papiers dans le sud des Etats-Unis, ou l'état de La Nouvelle-Orléans, où Obama n'a même pas prévu de se rendre dans sa campagne. 

Pendant ce temps, Benoît a préparé une question, qu'on communique par un bout de papier aux orateurs. Sur un papier à en-tête Publicis, Ben a cité Banksy: "ce que je hais le plus à propos de la publicité, c'est qu'elle attire à elle les jeunes les plus brillants, ambitieux et créatifs". Puis a posé la question: "comment envisager une lutte créative quand les plus créatifs ne sont pas dans notre camp?". 

La question sera posée à John Jordan, performer, ancien clown activiste, qui n'y répondra pas. John ne fera que dérouler sa performance, prévue et écrite depuis visiblement pas mal de temps. Il se lève, demande plus de lumières, regrette la coupure entre acteurs et spectateurs, entre scène et salle, il ouvre une boîte de pâtissier, en sort à gâteau "à 22 euros", y plante 4 bougies comme les 4 commandements pour les luttes à venir, des luttes qui soient créatives, qui redonne aux gens le plaisir de lutter, ce plaisir que le marketing a pris à 68 pour vendre de la merde aux gens, des luttes qui soient le fait de tous et pas que des plus savants.

"À bas les experts", donc, et met la tête dans son gâteau.

Un peu plus haut, il avait dit "il est plus facile d'imaginer ce à quoi ressemblera l'apocalypse que ce qui la suivra". On a vu, John a mis sa tête dans un gâteau, s'est rassis, a bu un peu d'eau puis s'est essuyé le visage à l'aide d'un Kleenex.

Après?

Tim, recém-saído do "Universo em Desencanto", era "o novo contratado da Odeon" e lançava, rodeado pelas "lebres" de Carlos Imperial, uma das maiores músicas da sua fabulosa carreira: "Acenda o Farol".

I have noted on the news this morning that some men kicked a ball in Russia last night and that some other men travelled thousands of miles to watch it. I know what they went through and I too will experience that late same emotion this afternoon when I make the twenty minute journey to the Odeon in Southampton to watch the latest instalment in the Indiana Jones saga.

Okay, so I've been tricked like this before. About a decade ago there was film about a certain spaceman that was a follow up to things we loved as children. The excitement overwhelming and the all sane people were infected - unfortunately this film had a giant talking rasta-frog, downright racist aliens and some boring stuff about intergalactic tax. In short, as Simon Pegg put it, 'they raped our childhood'. But, in a way, it was worth it just for the build up and to once again sit in a cinema and have the Star Wars logo appear in front of you.

I am very excited about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I know that I might well be very disappointed in a few hours time but for the time being I'm happy to let a film maker (and plenty of marketing men) make me feel like a child again.

Ad Fundum can today reveal that the fifth film in the Indiana Jones franchise has not only had the green light, but that pre-production is well under way.

A mock-up of the new Indy poster done by someone who apparently hasn't used PhotoShop before.

Indiana Jones and the Big Pile of Money will see Indy battling against all odds to make a movie that's ten years past it's sell-by date. In a bold break with tradition, Indiana Jones and the Big Pile of Money will see our swashbuckling hero:

• Fight against an opponent slightly bigger than him!
• Jump from one moving horse to another moving horse!
• Run to get through a door that looks like it might close!
• Make wise-cracks whilst tied up with amateurish knots!
• Kiss a woman he had previously argued with!

Phew! Sounds like the new Indy film is a belter, and I for one can't wait to fork out £9.60 to see it at my local Odeon!

„Tanacu" vine la Odeon

Regizorul Andrei Şerban aduce teatrul documentar în Capitală şi pregăteşte un „Regele Lear" cu distribuţie exclusiv feminină.

Teatrul Odeon va prezenta, în perioada 12-16 mai, spectacolul „Spovedanie la Tanacu", după romanul jurnalistic omonim de Tatiana Niculescu Bran, în regia lui Andrei Şerban. Regizorul va începe pe 15 mai şi repetiţiile la Bulandra, pentru spectacolul „Regele Lear", de Shakespeare, „o adevărată bombă" în care va avea o distribuţie exclusiv formată din actriţe. Mariana Mihuţ va juca în rolul titular, întruchipându-l pe „Regele Lear".

A treia „Spovedanie"

Spectacolul „Spovedanie la Tanacu" reprezintă o a treia etapă a proiectului iniţiat vara trecută, sub forma unui laborator de creaţie, desfăşurat într-o primă fază la Plopi, în Munţii Apuseni. Proiectul a continuat cu o reprezentaţie susţinută, pe 1 octombrie, la Teatrul La MaMa din New York, locul debutului regizoral al lui Andrei Şerban în SUA.

„La New York, spectacolul a avut un succes foarte mare, tocmai pentru că americanii sunt atraşi de tot ce este exotic", mărturiseşte Andrei Şerban. „În România, va fi mult mai greu pentru că publicul nostru s-a confruntat direct cu situaţia şi acum trebuie să înfruntăm toate prejudecăţile autohtone", explică regizorul.

„Nu fac acelaşi lucru de două ori"

„La Odeon, va fi o experienţă cu totul diferită. Eu nu fac acelaşi lucru de două ori. Spectacolul va avea elemente de film, de documentar. Scenele reale din timpul procesului se vor împleti cu cele de ficţiune ale actorilor. Va fi un teatru documentar", declară Şerban. Scriitoarea Tatiana Niculescu Bran a participat la dramatizarea cărţii. Spectacolul ce va fi prezentat la Teatrul Odeon păstrează în mare parte aceeaşi echipă de actori şi are la bază o nouă versiune a textului.

„Mistica dramaturgică a lui Andrei Şerban m-a convins că regizorul căuta altceva şi era pregătit să rişte de dragul propriei căutări. Voia să urmeze personajele în autenticitatea reacţiilor şi, eventual, a delirului lor mistic, fără să le judece şi fără să livreze spectatorului o teorie proprie", spune Tatiana Niculescu Bran.

„Regizorul înţelegea de ce era tulburătoare această poveste: cu toţii aveam multe lucruri în comun cu personajele întâmplării, de la nevoia de speranţă la ataşamentul faţă de propriile fantasme şi la dorinţa şubrezită de îndoieli de a crede în Dumnezeu", declara autoarea, într-un dosar realizat de Corina Şuteu şi Ştefania Ferchedau pentru „Suplimentul de cultură". Proiectul este dezvoltat în coproducţ ie cu Institutul Cultural Român (ICR), în cadrul Academiei Itinerante „Andrei Şerban", iniţiat de ICR New York şi Asociaţia Ecumest.

The 1930 Edinburgh Odeon is a Category B listed cinema. The outside doesn’t look like much, but inside – when we were allowed in – it is pure Edwardian “Italian Renaissance” – dramatic and splendid, from when going to the cinema was a treat, not a cardboard package. Offers over £3.5m for the building, apparently, so if you have some spare change, go for it.

I took this photo here. It's available on Redbubble: Cinema, South Clerk Street.

Pentru ca vin cateva zile libere , Odeon va invita la teatru.

• Screen Gems is planning a hip-hop musical reimagining of Jane Austen's classic novel "Emma" for the bigscreen. Chris Bender and J.C. Spink will produce via their Benderspink banner. Contemporary-set tale, which takes place at an inner-city high school, revolves around a stepbrother and stepsister. Film will include at least 15 song and dance numbers. Tyger Williams penned the screenplay. Screen Gems topper Clint Culpepper said he came up with the idea for "Emma," which will likely be redubbed "Emme," after watching the musicvideo "Lipgloss" by Lil Mama.

• Lakeshore Entertainment and France's TF1 Intl. will co-produce a film based on Jean-Christophe Rufin's bestselling eco-spy novel "Le Parfum d'Adam" (The Scent of Adam). Story centers on a young activist who frees lab animals from a research facility in Poland and unwittingly finds herself at the heart of the eco-terrorist movement and a conspiracy of global proportions. Producers are out to writers to adapt.

PROJECT UPDATES

• Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell are set to star in the Kirk Jones-directed "Everybody's Fine." Miramax Films acquired worldwide rights on the film that will begin shooting in Connecticut later this month. The remake of the Giuseppe Tornatore film "Stanno tutti bene" was written by Jones. He came aboard when the redo was first set up by Hollywood Gang Prods. and Cecchi Gori USA (Daily Variety, March 16, 2006).

• United Artists and MGM have pushed back the release of Bryan Singer's Tom Cruise starrer "Valkyrie" from Oct. 3 to Feb. 13. Move marks the second date change for the WWII actioner and another delay for the revamped label headed by Cruise and Paula Wagner. The new UA's debut pic, the war-themed drama "Lions for Lambs," proved to be a box office disappointment last year, generating $15 million domestically and $42 million overseas.

• Scribe Tracy Letts nabbed the 2008 Pulitzer for drama for his play "August: Osage County," currently logging strong sales on Broadway in a glowingly reviewed production. Christopher Shinn's "Dying City," which played Lincoln Center Theater last spring, and David Henry Hwang's "Yellow Face," at the Public last fall, were named finalists for the kudos, announced Monday. Pulitzer potential for "August" had been buzzed about since the show preemed at the Steppenwolf in Chicago last summer. A sprawling drama with 13 characters, three acts and a running time of close to 3½ hours, "August" is the kind of ambitious fare that, with its focus on the American family, seems a no-brainer for the award.

• Rob Bowman ("The X-Files") has signed to direct the ABC pilot "Castle," while two other pilots have added cast members. "Castle," from ABC Studios and Armyan Bernstein's Beacon Television, centers on a horror novelist who consults for the NYPD. Andrew Marlowe wrote the pilot and will exec produce with Bernstein and Laurie Zaks.

• "Family Guy's" Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein are bringing their hit stage show to Los Angeles. MacFarlane -- the show's creator, and voice of Peter Griffin -- and Borstein -- the voice of Peter's long-suffering wife, Lois -- will appear at the Ahmanson Theater on Saturday, May 10, reprising an ecelectic revue that played to soldout auds at Carnegie Hall. "Freakin' Sweet! An Evening of Music and Comedy" features MacFarlane and Borstein as they perform 26 unusual tunes described as a "musical tour through the alphabet." They'll be joined by Walter Murphy, Rich Ruttenberg and the "Family Guy" Orchestra. Comedian Janeane Garofalo is set to open the show. Event benefits the Center Theater Group's New Play Production Program.

• Jackie Chan and Ziyi Zhang have been enlisted to sing the theme song for "The One," a film about China's first Olympian, sprinter Liu Changchun, who represented China at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, despite the efforts of Japanese occupation forces in Manchuria to stop him. Four top Chinese-speaking celebs -- Chan, Zhang, Lee-Hom Wang and Stefanie Sun -- will sing "Stand Up" on the pic's soundtrack, producer Wang Zhebin told the Beijing Times. Movie is being made as a tribute to the 2008 Beijing Games, and each singer will represent a different Chinese group: Chan, Hong Kong; Wang, Taiwan; Zhang, the mainland; and Singaporean Sun repping overseas Chinese.

BUSINESS NEWS

• NBC and Bravo aren't letting "Project Runway" hop the catwalk to Lifetime without a fierce fight. Peacock has filed suit in New York Supreme Court against "Project Runway" producer the Weinstein Co., asserting the shingle violated NBC and Bravo's right of first refusal. Lifetime announced Monday that TWC has signed a five-year deal with the femme-centric cabler to take over the show -- cable's top-rated reality skein -- effective November. As a result, Heidi Klum and company will say "auf wiedersehen" to NBC's Bravo cabler after one final season this summer.

• The Mouse House is building new wings all over the world and discovering fresh ways to dice up its cheese. Disney execs unveiled Monday a raft of deals at Mip TV that spanned the globe and underlined the company's increasingly international focus. The pacts include the following: * A deal with Colombian broadcaster RCN to produce Spanish-language versions of ABC hits "Grey's Anatomy" and "Brothers & Sisters." * A multiyear licensing deal with Russian broadcaster CTC Media. * A renewal of its free-to-air output agreement with Germany's powerhouse ProSiebenSat1 Group. * A deal to license reality skein "The Fashionista Diaries" to U.K. broadcaster Five's digital channel the Fiver. * Acquisition of Aardman Animations' stop-motion kidvid series "Timmy" for Disney Channel outlets in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. What's more, Disney's top brass said the flurry of activity unveiled Monday only scratches the surface of the company's long-term plans for expansion into international markets. The emerging territories most on Disney's radar: Russia, Turkey, Africa and the Middle East. But Disney wasn't the only U.S. major making headlines on the opening day of Mip. Warner Bros. Intl. Television and HBO unveiled a first-of-its-kind deal to license pics to France Telecom's newly announced premium pay TV platform Orange Cinema Service.

• CBS News and CNN execs have recently been in talks to explore the possibility of sharing resources in a way that would help the bottom lines of both newsgathering outfits. But insiders at the two companies downplayed a report posted on the New York Times' website Monday afternoon suggesting that CBS was considering a deal to "outsource" most of its newsgathering operations to CNN. Insiders acknowledged that top execs from CBS News and CNN have recently had discussions about the feasibility of sharing behind-the-scenes resources in far-flung news hotspots like Baghdad. But several people close to the situation cautioned that those talks were narrow in scope and ended with no concrete agreement. CBS and CNN have long flirted with the idea of a merger or alliance that would help both better manage the significant costs of newsgathering, particularly in foreign locales. CBS Corp. chief Leslie Moonves has made no secret of his interest in acquiring CNN from parent Time Warner, were it for sale at the right price, but talks have bogged down in the past over issues of control, rights and how much exposure CBS' marquee news stars would receive on the all-news cabler.

• Warner Bros. Intl. TV and HBO have inked exclusive multiyear deals to be first-off U.S. suppliers to France Telecom Orange’s Orange Cinema Service, a premium pay TV service unveiled Monday at Mip TV. OCS is expected to launch in the fourth quarter. Deal is just one of many for Orange, a highly ambitious cable, IPTV and mobile TV operator in France, as it seeks to tap exclusive content to lure subscribers to what is looking like a more modestly priced rival to Canal Plus’ Le Bouquet, a package of six premium channels.

• Pay TV platform Premiere looks set to flex its newfound muscle with an expansion into free TV and is eying Sat.1 for a possible takeover. Premiere topper Michael Boernicke told German financial daily Hanelsblatt Monday the addition of a free TV web would help bring the paybox forward, adding that the group is looking to double or even triple overall revenue from its current 1 billion euros ($1.57 billion). Such a move would create a third major free TV player in Germany besides ProSiebenSat1 and RTL, provide Premiere with the necessary growth and help pull the paybox out of the red.

• U.K.-based sales company Lumina Films has renamed itself the Salt Co. to reflect its sharpened focus on packaging and financing international films. Salt, a part of the Intl. Film Collective, will continue to be run by Samantha Horley as managing director, with Robert Bevan and Cyril Megret continuing as directors. Originally founded in Spain as the sales arm of Latin American shingle Buena Onda, also part of the Intl. Film Collective, Lumina Films relocated to London in 2005. Since then the company, while still specializing in Latin American features such as Sergio Machado’s steamy 2005 love triangle pic “Lower City,” diversified its slate to take on projects from around the world, including the U.K.

• The Odeon and UCI Cinemas Group has teamed with Entertainment Enterprises Group to acquire five multi-screen theaters in Ireland from Storm Cinema. Under the deal, EEG will own the cinemas, which Odeon UCI will manage and operate. The theaters will remain under the Storm name until Jan. 1, 2009, when they will adopt the UCI brand. In 2003, Odeon UCI sold its Irish subsid to EEG. This deal means Odeon UCI now operates and manages 61 screens across eight theaters in Ireland. Odeon UCI is the market leader in the U.K., Italy and Spain, and the third largest exhib chain in Germany.

STRIKE NEWS/ LABOR ISSUES

• In a move designed to pressure the Screen Actors Guild into making a deal, the majors have told the performers union to forget about asking for sweeter terms than those secured by the WGA and DGA. In an open letter issued Monday by the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, the congloms sent a clear signal to SAG leaders not to expect special treatment at the bargaining table. Though it used a moderate tone, the AMPTP underlined that it won't break the pattern set in the recent deals with writers and directors. SAG's talks start April 15, and AFTRA -- which split off from the Screen Actors Guild late last month -- begins April 28. "We hope that our negotiations with SAG and AFTRA will bolster this new economic framework, enabling all of us to share equitably in the success of new media and to respond with creativity and swiftness to market changes," the AMPTP said. "If our industry relies on this new framework, we can all avoid more harmful and unnecessary strikes." The missive is designed to warn SAG that its leaders' plans to seek improvements in new media and DVD residuals are non-starters. It arrives as the town remains unnerved by the assertive tone of SAG's approach and its strong alliance with the WGA during the 100-day writers strike, sparking worries a second work stoppage may be in the offing after SAG's feature-primetime contract expires June 30.

INDUSTRY MOVES

• Fireworks Intl., the TV distribution arm of ContentFilm, has made three sales appointments as it beefs up its factual programming. Kathryn Kozanczyn and Smiljka Baljozovic have joined Fireworks' Toronto office as sales directors responsible for worldwide sales of the factual entertainment catalog. Both join from Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Intl., where they oversaw worldwide sales. In addition, Patrick O'Connor-Read has joined Fireworks' London-based digital division as digital sales manager. He will be responsible for the development of digital distribution for ContentFilm and Fireworks Intl. across IP, VOD and mobile platforms, with a particular focus on Asia Pacific (a region he knows well due to a previous stint at Martial Arts TV).

• One day after Endeavor staged a coup by luring away UTA agents Nick Stevens, Sharon Sheinwold and Lisa Hallerman, the agency got punk'd. Ashton Kutcher, creator of the MTV prank show "Punk'd" and the force behind a number of other reality and scripted skeins, left the agency after 10 years. He's expected to land at CAA.

TECHNOLOGY/ MULTI-PLATFORM CONTENT NEWS

• Film and TV library owners are getting a new way to sell their buried treasures. Ascent Media Group, a subsid of John Malone's Discovery Holding Co., is launching an online marketplace to help rights owners sell and deliver their library titles to distribs worldwide. Site, dubbed Ascent Global Media Exchange (GMX for short), is skedded to come online at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Ascent has 74 facilities around the globe providing post-production and other technical services. Malone has a controlling interest in Discovery and is its chairman and CEO. Company hopes to give rights holders a cost-effective way to market downlist movies, TV shows or other video content to cable or broadcast outlets and web publishers. "Not 'long-tail' content," Ascent CEO Jose Royo told Variety, "but content that has been valuable at some time in the past but hasn't been generating revenue because of the cost of distribution and fulfillment." GMX will allow content owners to put samples from their libraries online, list terms if they choose and conduct blind auctions. Buyers acquire the rights online and choose their delivery format. That would trigger Ascent (or another post house) to transfer the show and prep it for delivery. While other online marketplace sites have been attempted, Ascent claims GMX will be the first site offering both acquisition and fulfillment worldwide. Company is banking on its extensive relationships and reputation to encourage use of the site.

• Continuing its acquisition spree and making its first purchase in Asia, Disney Interactive Studios has acquired Chinese videogame developer GameStar. Six-year-old company, which has 90 employees in Shanghai and Wuhan, has done outsourcing work for several vidgame companies, including Disney Interactive. The Mouse House's videogame unit initially plans to use GameStar to support projects at its five other developers, as it has done in the past on a contractual basis. As it grows, however, GameStar may start to develop its own titles, most likely ones aimed at the fast-growing Chinese market.

• U.S. sports entrepreneur Stan Kroenke has paid £22.7 million ($44.9 million) to Brit terrestrial web, ITV, for a 50% stake in the English soccer web operation, Arsenal Broadband. The holding will be owned by Kroenke's vehicle, KSE, and follows his purchase of a 10% stake in the top flight Premier League soccer club from ITV a year ago, for which he forked out around $80 million. For the British web, the sale reps its final off-loading of its interests in English soccer clubs. ITV's commercial and acquisitions director Tom Betts said: "This completes the sale of our football assets which has seen us successfully raise £101 million ($200 million) in just over a year."

• Yahoo is partnering with the TBS network to webcast a talkshow about primetime TBS drama "Rookies" as the drama airs. Yahoo will webcast the talkshow live starting April 19 with the first "Rookies" episode -- a two-hour special. The show will begin 30 minutes before the 7 p.m. bow and continue until it ends two hours later. Guests will include "Rookies" actors and staff who will provide behind-the-scenes commentary as the drama unfolds. "Rookies" is based on a popular comic about a high school baseball team that has sold 12 million copies in paperback editions since its debut in 1998.

WEBSITES TO WATCH

NeuLion struck a deal with the International Fight League to deliver live ad-supported Mixed Martial Arts fighting matches from the IFL network on ifl.tv. NeuLion will also provide the IFL with billing services to support PPV, registration and future subscriptions.

Lifetime Movie Network and partners are once again asking women filmmakers to submit original works to the Every Woman's Film Competition. This year the contest, comprised of 3-5 minute video shorts, is open to all women who will compete for cash prizes and exposure of their work on LMN.tv and Lifetime Movie Network.

Music-themed social network Imeem acquired DRM technology provider Snocap for an undisclosed amount. Imeem is interested in the content identification platform/digital registry system Snocap built for unsigned artists to manage online distribution of their music on MySpace and other sites.

The WGBH Lab and American Documentary Inc.'s P.O.V. are asking filmmakers to submit short videos related to the upcoming Presidential election. Selected films submitted by April 7 will receive $2,000 in funding and will be featured on Lab.wghb.org as well as on PBS.

http://www.modernfeed.com/welcome.htm

When Modern Feed founder J.D. Heilprin started making the rounds looking for Angel investors to fund his online video aggregation site a year ago, many wondered if there was enough professionally produced online video out there to build a robust site around. Now, of course, the problem is that there is way too much to keep up with. Modern Feed has built an intuitive, easy to use interface to help users navigate the legitimate sources of video available in the U.S., including broadcast & cable network sites, web production sites and magazine portals. The site doesn't actually serve the video. It's more of a Tivo device for the web, recommending programs, scheduling season passes and identifying shows optimized for WiFi-enabled iPods and iPhones. More important, a team of TV fanatic "Feeders" make editorial recommendations to push the good stuff forward; in the sea of internet video, users need a port in the storm.
