China Bans Live/Animated Movies

Calling it "one of the more bizarre orders" from China's film and broadcast watchdog, Daily Variety reported today (Wednesday) that henceforth movies and TV shows featuring live humans together with animated figures are banned in China. The trade publication cited a report appearing in the government-operated Xinhua News Agency that referred to an order by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued on Feb. 15. The order stated that "human live-action, so-called animation pieces will not receive distribution or distribution licenses." The reason, the order said cryptically, was that such films jeopardize "the broadcast order of homemade animation and mislead their development."

New Gig!

Some of you may of noticed it's slow around here... Well, that's because I'm busy working on a pilot that is described as "Desperate Housewives" meets "Twin Peaks". The pilot is set to shoot in March, so we are in pre-production right now, and there's alot to do. This is my first time doing television, and unfortunately my blogging is suffering. But be patient, because I ain't about to quit now. Maybe I'll report on how the show is shaping up from time to time.

Teddy Girls

The rockers in postwar Britain were called "Teddy Boys" because they adapted Edwardian-era styling cues (drainpipe trousers, long coats, etc.) to American rockabilly fashion. It's a scene that survived the fifties, kept going through the sixties, seventies, and is still around today. The women in the photos were the Teddy Girls
