Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Boyhood of Harvey by Stephen Turner Inside Steve Harvey’S $15 Million Atlanta Mansion Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Boyhood of Harvey by Stephen Turner Inside Steve Harvey’s $15 Million Atlanta Mansion. First Madea, now Steve Harvey. Those walls will never be short of a laugh. An Atlanta, Ga., mansion formerly owned by movie mogul and actor Tyler Perry, in the affluent Buckhead area, has just been purchased by funnyman-turned-talk-show-host and self-help author Harvey and his wife Marjorie for $15 million, as first reported by TMZ. Harvey and Perry alone could probably start their own TV network with all the content they produce. The former, 63, is an omnipresent face on the small screen, hosting “Showtime at the Apollo,” “Celebrity Family Feud” and the Miss Universe competition. As for Perry, he has shows running on BET, Netflix, OWN, Nickelodeon and more. Both also have rags to riches back stories, having been homeless and, at times, laving lived in their cars before making it big in entertainment. Perry sold the unabashedly opulent 35,000-square-foot behemoth in 2016 for $17.5 million, after having had it on the market for almost two years with an unrealistic initial asking price of $25 million. Despite the multimillion-dollar difference between the original asking price and the recorded sale price, the property nonetheless made real estate waves as the most expensive residential sale in Atlanta history. It’s worth taking a gulp of air before reading through the plethora of features in the 7-bed, 9.5-bath spread. First, there’s the setting: 17 acres of manicured lawns bordered by trimmed gardens, a 70,000-gallon infinity-edged swimming pool, a lighted tennis court, fully equipped gym and separate spa. The unabashedly decadent estate also offers a guesthouse, a guardhouse and detached caretakers suite, along with an advanced security system and a backup generator capable of of powering the entire estate. In addition to numerous formal and informal living and entertaining spaces, the French Provincial inspired main residence contains a state-of-the-art theater, an indoor swimming pool, wine cellar and an underground ballroom complete with catering kitchen. The buyer from Perry and the seller to Harvey, according to real estate site buckhead.com, was David Turner, a former businessman turned evangelist who made his fortune manufacturing dried fruit and nuts. His reason for shelling out $17.5 million on a home appear almost as nutty as his business. “I went online and I saw this house, and that’s when I felt like God told me, ‘This is your house,’” he told the site. God must’ve also told him the mansion would need to go at any cost, because Turner took a eye-watering $2.5 million loss when he sold the property, not counting carrying costs, improvements and hefty realtor fees. Harvey’s other holdings also include another large house in Atlanta and a 6,500 sq. ft., 5-bedroom, 6.5-bath mansion in Little Elm, Texas, which he currently has for sale at close to $1.1 million. But before buying the former Perry estate, he and his family primarily resided in the mountains above Beverly Hills, Calif., in a $100,000/month rental mansion in the exclusive Beverly Park guard-gated community. As for Perry, he owns several other supersized homes, including a 24,000 sq. ft. manor in the Beverly Hills area that’s currently occupied by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The agent for the Buckhead property was Chase Mizell of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. Oscar Speech Revelations: And the Most Thanked in Academy Award History Is … Sorry, God: You’re No. 6 on the list of individuals historically thanked in Oscars acceptance speeches — apparently you just can’t complete with the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Steven Spielberg, among other Hollywood heavy-hitters. Spielberg is the most-thanked person ever during Academy Award podium time — the “Saving Private Ryan” director has been acknowledged a whopping 42 times, according to a study by Vocativ. Weinstein — who produced “Shakespeare in Love” — is the runner-up, scoring 34 of his own “Thank Yous.” In third place historically is “Titanic” director James Cameron, with 28 thanks. “Star Wars” visionary George Lucas is fourth with 23, Peter Jackson (“The Lord of the Rings”) is in fifth place, just one nod behind. Next up is God, pulling in 19 grateful mentions — readers can add one more for a thanks to “Jesus.” Rounding out the Top 10 are Fran Walsh (18), Sheila Nevins (17), and a tie between Francis Ford Coppola and Barrie Osborne, both with 16. Honorable mentions are Martin Scorsese and Saul Zaentz, who had 15 apiece. Vocativ went through all 1,396 Academy Award acceptance speeches for the data. Read the full story here.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Zahraniční Tituly V České Kinodistribuci V Roce 2020
    Úvod Kompilací Zahraniční filmy v české kinodistribuci 2020 předkládá Národní filmový archiv široké veřejnosti přehled všech zahraničních audiovizuálních děl, která v období od 1. ledna do 31. prosince 2020 byla v premiéře uvedena distribučními společnostmi v kinech na území České republiky. Jednotlivé tituly byly zpracovány na základně přístupných údajů Unie filmových distributorů a samotných distribučních společností. Získaná data byla revidována, zpřesňována, ověřována a doplňována podle zákonné oznamovací povinnosti (zákon o audiovizi číslo 496/2012 Sb. s účinností od 1. ledna 2013), úvodních a závěrečných filmových titulků, tisku, zahraničních internetových databází a dalších relevantních materiálů, pramenů a zdrojů. Po úvodním přehledu všech sto šestnácti v kinodistribuci nasazených filmů (pokud není uvedeno jinak, jde o dlouhometrážní díla) následuje hlavní část, abecedně seřazený soupis snímků v podobě hesel s filmografickými, technickými, produkčními a distribučními údaji a s informativními texty. V závěru publikace je přehled distribuovaných filmů seřazený chronologicky podle data české premiéry, dále podle země původu, podle distribučních společností. A zvláštní přehled tvoří filmy, které byly v kinech uvedeny v národní úpravě – v dabované verzi (zbylým snímkům bylo zpravidla ponecháno původní znění a byly opatřeny českými podtitulky). V jednotlivých seznamech jsou dále vedeny údaje, zda se jedná o součást pásma, obnovenou premiéru, film krátkometrážní či středometrážní a u koprodukčních snímků jsou zmíněny rovněž všechny zúčastněné země. Pro úplnost připojujeme taktéž soupis českých a českých koprodukčních snímků uvedených ve sledovaném roce v tuzemské kinodistribuci. Jejich podrobné údaje jsou k dohledání rovněž v internetové databázi Filmový přehled (www.filmovyprehled.cz). Výjimečný distribuční rok 2020 v českých kinech nelze – ať již celkovým množstvím filmových premiér, počtem projekcí, či jejich návštěvností – porovnávat s předcházejícími (a zřejmě ani s následujícími) lety.

  • Interstellar: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Deluxe Digital Version)
    1 2 D A Y O N E Each successive film I’ve done with Hans, I’ve tried to involve him at an earlier and earlier stage. Adding music to a film doesn’t work for me - it’s the reason I can’t temp a movie (edit using some other movie’s music to be replaced later). To me the music has to be a fundamental ingredient, not a condiment to be sprinkled on the finished meal. To this end, I called Hans before I’d even started work on INTERSTELLAR and proposed a radical new approach to our collaboration. I asked him to give me one day of his time. I’d give him an envelope with one page - a page explaining the fable at the heart of my next project. The page would contain no information as to genre or specifics of plot, merely lay out the heart of the movie-to-be. Hans would open the envelope, read it, start writing and at the end of the day he’d play me whatever he’d accomplished. That would be the basis of our score. Hans agreed. I think he shared my frustration with trying to wrangle the mechanics of a massive film right at the tail end of a years-long process of construction - the sheer difficulty of trying to see past what you’ve all built and get back to the beating heart of the story, as a great score must. He understood that what I wanted to do was turn his usual process inside out, giving his musical and emotional instincts free reign, so that the seed from which the score would eventually grow would be fused with the narrative at its earliest stage.
