NO. 7 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 12/16/2019 As I indicated in our conversation last week, the letter dated July 11, 2019 sent by Tom Harvey to Ms. Robinson is utterly without any merit whatsoever, particularly in light of the documentary evidence, including letters, emails and recordings that are currently in existence, which have been reviewed and analyzed. It appears the letter sent by Tom Harvey, as "counsel" to Mr. De Niro and Canal Productions Inc. was designed to inhibit Ms. Robinson from asserting various employment and other claims against Mr. De Niro, Canal Productions, Inc. and other related entities through a strategy of libel and slander. Ms. Robinson's claims include sex discrimination, sexual stereotyping, hostile work environment and retaliation arising under the NYHRL, NYLL and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, as well as claims implicating numerous wage‐hour violations arising under NYLL and the FLSA effecting Ms.

  • Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL: VOL
    Presents QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF Only at the Grindhouse Final Production Notes as of 5/15/07 International Press Contacts: PREMIER PR (CANNES FILM FESTIVAL) THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Matthew Sanders / Emma Robinson Jill DiRaffaele Villa Ste Hélène 5700 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 45, Bd d’Alsace Los Angeles, CA 90036 06400 Cannes Tel: 323 207 3092 Tel: +33 493 99 03 02 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From the longtime collaborators (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, FOUR ROOMS, SIN CITY), two of the most renowned filmmakers this summer present two original, complete grindhouse films packed to the gills with guns and guts. Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, these are two shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of- the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers.

  • Robert Rodriguez Harnesses AMD Technology to Bring Brilliant Graphics and Outstanding Visual Fidelity to Latest "Spy Kids" Film
    August 18, 2011 Robert Rodriguez Harnesses AMD Technology to Bring Brilliant Graphics and Outstanding Visual Fidelity to Latest "Spy Kids" Film AMD Technology Enables Director of "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D Aromascope" to Operate at the 'Speed of Thought' SUNNYVALE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/18/11 -- In the latest addition to the "Spy Kids" film franchise, "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D Aromascope," released August 19 by Troublemaker Studios, director Robert Rodriguez delivers stunning 3D effects at the highest visual fidelity through the use of AMD Technology (NYSE: AMD). For movie fans, the collaboration between Robert Rodriguez and AMD means that viewers will experience the latest "Spy Kids" movie in the way Rodriguez meant for it to be seen, with brilliant graphics and outstanding visual effects. As part of the formal collaboration announced at Comic-Con International 2011, Rodriguez plans to use VISION Technology from AMD for his future Quick Draw Production projects. For Robert Rodriguez and his team, a new personal best was achieved thanks to AMD technology -- the majority of the film's final shots were produced in-house without the need to rely on third-party production companies and on a shorter timeline than ever before. As with previous projects, such as "Machete" and prior "Spy Kids" films, Troublemaker Studios leveraged the powerful combination of AMD's graphics and server technologies, including AMD FirePro™ professional graphics accelerators, 24-core AMD Opteron™ processor- based workstations and Dell PowerEdge™ servers, to make real-time artistic changes on the fly, allowing for an organic, streamlined creative process.

  • The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts Episode 98: Robert Rodriguez Show Notes and Links at Tim.Blog/Podcast
    The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts Episode 98: Robert Rodriguez Show notes and links at tim.blog/podcast Tim Ferriss: Hello, ladies and germs, puppies and kittens. Meow. This is Tim Ferriss and welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to deconstruct world class performers, to teas out the routines, the habits, the books, the influences, everything that you can use, that you can replicated from their best practices. And this episode is a real treat. If you loved the Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jon Favreau or Matt Mullenweg episodes, for instance, you are going to love this one. We have a film director, screen writer, producer, cinematographer, editor, and musician. His name is Robert Rodriguez. His story is so good. While he was a student at University of Texas at Austin, he wrote the script to his first feature film when he was sequestered in a drug research facility as a paid subject in a clinical experiment. So he sold his body for science so that he could make art. And that paycheck covered the cost of shooting his film. Now, what film was that? The film was Element Mariachi, which went on to win the coveted Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival and became the lowest budget movie ever released by a major studio. He went on then, of course, to write and produce a lot, and direct and edit and so on, a lot of films. He’s really a jack of all trades, master of many because he’s had to operate with such low budgets and be so resourceful.

  • MÉXICO REVIDA: CRÍTICAS AO IMPERIALISMO DOS EUA EM MACHETE (2010) RODRIGO APARECIDO DE ARAÚJO PEDROSO* Introdução O Presen
    1 MÉXICO REVIDA: CRÍTICAS AO IMPERIALISMO DOS EUA EM MACHETE (2010) RODRIGO APARECIDO DE ARAÚJO PEDROSO* Introdução O presente texto tem como objetivo fazer uma breve análise historiográfica do filme Machete (2010) dirigido por Robert Rodriguez e estrelado por Danny Trejo, ambos nascidos nos EUA e com descendência mexicana. A produção trata-se de típico filme de ação hollywoodiano, contém diversas cenas de perseguição, tiros, explosões, lutas e mortes extremante violentas. Entretanto, a produção se diferencia das demais do gênero por apresentar como herói um mexicano e como vilões grupos racistas e xenófobos. A trama se passa no estado do Texas e narra as aventuras do ex-agente federal mexicano Machete Cortez (Danny Trejo); que teve sua família assassinada pelo narcotraficante Rogelio Torrez (Steven Seagal) e quase foi morto também. Três anos depois Machete está vivendo como imigrante ilegal no Texas e procura bicos para se sustentar. No decorrer da trama ele é contratado por Michael Booth (Jeff Fahey) para matar um senador texano corrupto e xenófobo, chamado John McLaughlin (Robert DeNiro) que deseja expulsar/exterminar todos os imigrantes mexicanos e construir uma certa eletrificada separando as fronteiras. O senador também está evolvido com um grupo de supremacistas brancos, liderados por Von Jackson (Don Johnson), que atuam como vigilantes na fronteira exterminado os mexicanos que tentam entrar no país. Booth na verdade é amigo e assessor do senador, e planejou o atentado para melhorar a campanha de reeleição de McLaughlin, e arrumar uma justificativa para tomar medidas mais duras contra imigrantes. O plano não dá muito certo, pois Machete não age do jeito que era esperado e no decorrer do filme ele procura descobrir o que de fato está ocorrendo e se vingar.

  • Frank Miller's Sin City
    FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR Production Notes Publicity materials are available at: twcpublicity.com Running Time: 102 mins MPAA Rating: TBD 1 FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR Production Notes Co-directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez reunite to bring Miller's visually stunning "Sin City" graphic novels back to the screen in 3D in FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. In a town where justice doesn't prevail, the desperate want vengeance and ruthless murderers find themselves with vigilantes on their heels. Their paths cross in Sin City’s famous Kadie's Club Pecos. The film opens with fan-favorite “Just Another Saturday Night,” when Marv (Mickey Rourke) finds himself in the center of carnage as he tries to remember the preceding events. “The Long, Bad Night” tells the tale of Johnny, a cocky young gambler (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) taking his chances with the biggest villain in Sin City, Senator Roark (Powers Boothe). The central story, Miller’s acclaimed "A Dame To Kill For," features Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin) in his final confrontation with the woman of his dreams and nightmares, Ava Lord (Eva Green). “Nancy’s Last Dance" follows Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba) in the wake of John Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis) selfless suicide. Driven insane by grief and rage, she will stop at nothing to get revenge. 2 RETURNING TO SIN CITY When FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY opened in April 2005, the film was a critical and global box office success. Breaking new ground, the movie was filmed entirely on green screen and brought Miller’s black and white graphic novels to life.

    NEA BIG READ WRAP-UP (AND OTHER LIBRARY HAPPENINGS) November 8, 2016 Dear Hyde Park Library Member, The NEA Big Read for 2016 is entering the home stretch, but there is still plenty going on over the next few weeks to keep everyone's interest piqued (and to provide us all with a pleasant--and often stimulating--diversion from politics, shortened days and variable weather). If you've had occasion to read this year's selection, Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea, you likely will have participated in one or more of the book discussions of that title both here and at several other libraries and/or schools. We were particularly glad to welcome guests from other Dutchess County communities at our discussions, and we hope to see them again. And there was a very good turn-out for the author Urrea's visit on October 29th at the Boardman Road Branch of the PPLD. Even if you haven't had time to check out the novel (and we do still have a few copies left-- as of this writing--to give away to anyone interested), there are still any number of events scheduled that will be of general interest, several of them right here at the Hyde Park Library. “WRITING YOUR JOURNEY” WRITING WORKSHOP A Big Read Event on Recording Your Family's Migration Story. With Writer and Educator Constance Skedgell. By writing about it, you celebrate that voyage, and preserve the facts for younger-generation family members. But how to begin? You begin by attending this two-hour workshop called Writing Your Journey.
