‘Dark’ studio has bright future
Although the studio launched just last year, FilmDistrict is already making major noise in Hollywood.
Its first movie, “Insidious,” which was made for $1.5 million, has raked in nearly $92 million worldwide.
Now the independent acquisition and distribution company is hoping for similar success with another horror movie, the Katie Holmes-starring “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” released on Friday.
Due in large part to the strong relationship between “Don’t Be Afraid’s” writer/producer Guillermo del Toro and FilmDistrict’s distribution head Bob Berney, FilmDistrict acquired the Miramax-produced movie after the former Disney subsidiary was sold.
The two had worked together on previous films, and del Toro says Berney was the first person he encouraged to go after the movie rights.
The former Apparition chief also told us at the movie’s New York premiere that del Toro’s involvement made him pursue the film.
Indeed, Berney argues that he and the other Hollywood veterans who run FilmDistrict -- Oscar-winning producer Graham King and longtime former Sony Pictures exec Peter Schlessel -- all have a filmmaker-friendly approach.
This attitude could help FilmDistrict as it moves more into pre-buying, or purchasing movies based on scripts, as it did with the highly anticipated “Drive,” starring Ryan Gosling.
The company has also acquired other high-profile titles, and plans to release movies King produces like Johnny Depp’s upcoming “The Rum Diary.”
It’s already taken advantage of the new distribution model, striking a streaming deal with Netflix for what would be FilmDistrict’s pay-TV window.
Berney called Netflix “critical to [FilmDistrict’s] business,” adding that “it enables us as an independent to access that revenue that only the big studios used to have through HBO or Starz.
“It gives us a real advantage and a way to really risk theatrical releases, which are so expensive,” he says.
For his part, del Toro has no qualms about his movie being a part of this deal, remarking simply, “In Bob we trust.”

Bill Dwyre: Roger Federer at 30 must heed the clock
Roger Federer makes a return against Canada's Vasek Pospisil at the rogers cup in Montreal. (Paul Chiasson / The Canadian Press)
Roger Federer would hate this column, because it is about Father Time, currently his toughest opponent.
His good fortune is that he won't have a lot of reading time these days, what with that little tennis event they will be holding in New York City the next two weeks. They call it the U.S. Open.
Federer turned 30 on Aug. 8. He celebrated by publicly thanking his longtime fans and supporters on his website. That was probably followed by 500 forehands, 500 backhands and twice as many practice serves.

semifinal match" width="187" height="105" /> Agnieszka Radwanska outlasts Andrea Petkovic in Mercury Insurance Open semifinal match
Sloane Stephens loses to Andrea Petkovic at Mercury Insurance Open
To many of us, Father Time is getting the stiff knee working in the morning so we can walk to the sink to brush our teeth. To Federer, it is that split second that makes the backhand go wide.
For his mental well-being, Federer had to walk past his 30th birthday as if it were a crack in the sidewalk. But reality says that tennis years and dog years have similarities. That makes Federer about 200. A 30-year-old professional tennis player has more miles on him than a '54 Chevy. And knees, ankles, elbows and shoulders can't be restored with an oil change.
Federer's accomplishments give us pause, tell us that, while twilight is near, there might be a couple of big sunny days left. He is accorded the label as the greatest men's tennis player ever because he won the most major tournaments. Grand Slams are how the sport measures itself, and Federer has 16.
He has five U.S. Open titles, 66 tour titles and is one of only five people who have won all four major titles at least once, plus an Olympic gold medal. Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf and Rafael Nadal did it all in singles and Serena Williams and Federer got their Olympic gold in doubles.
Since 2003, Federer has won at least one Grand Slam tournament each year. His most recent was the 2010 Australian Open. That's six majors ago, by far his longest drought.
He hasn't fallen off the map. He remains No. 3 in the world, one of the most gifted shot-makers to ever slip on a wrist band and, just last week, told reporters asking about his U.S. Open prospects, that he was "physically perfect."
Significantly, it was Federer — not some free-swinging 20-year-old hotshot feeling no pressure in an early round — who ended Novak Djokovic's amazing unbeaten run at 43 earlier this year at the French Open. There is no question that Federer still has it. The question is: Does he still have it through seven matches and the usual two weeks of heat and rain and noise and living hell that make the U.S. Open the U.S. Open.
Federer won his first major title in the 2003 Wimbledon. That was the year after Pete Sampras won his last and 14th Grand Slam at the U.S. Open. Sampras was 31 — he turned 40 on Aug. 12 — and the Sampras era ended there. He beat Agassi in the final and never played a tour match again. Now, nine years and 16 Grand Slams later, the clock is ticking on the Federer era.
The similarities between the two are striking. Sampras' game was fluid and instinctual. So is Federer's.
Sampras' body language was the perfect arrogance needed by a world-class player: Don't even harbor the thought that you can beat me. And if you get ahead on my serve at 15-40, I will ace you twice. Count on it.
Federer reacts similarly: Break point? Let me brush a strand of hair back before I get this back to deuce.
Now, Federer is facing the same late-career challenges that Sampras did — self-recognition of steps a fraction slower and aches and pains lasting a bit longer. In the months after his 2002 U.S. Open title, Sampras agonized about whether to go on, and in several conversations said that he could not just go and play and pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars for getting to a lot of quarterfinals. He still had to know he could win. Titles defined him. Not money.
Federer is the same, and the tennis-watching public should be grateful that he still thinks he can win. That means we get to see a little more tennis power packaged in tennis grace, a little more of the majestic movement of a one-in-a-million athlete.
The new stars are No. 1 Djokovic and No. 2 Nadal.
Wednesday night, Djokovic was Jay Leno's guest on NBC and Nadal was David Letterman's guest on CBS. It was like a mini U.S. Open final — head-to-head on competing networks.
Those shows once were Federer's domain. That was during his era.

WW2 plane wreck, PNG
WW2 Japanese plane wreck near Madang, PNG, July 85.
I wonder how much of it is left now?
I just found this info thanks to Wikitravel:
There is a old WWII Japanese airfield (north coast from Madang) which is now pretty much completely covered by Jungle. There is a lot of old plane wreckage and bomb craters still scattered around the place, including a large reasonably well-preserved Mitsubishi 'Betty' Bomber.
And here's a bit more info from Pacific Wrecks.com:
The Japanese occupied the town and surrounding area on January 1, 1943. During the war, Lt. General Hatazo Adachi, commander of Japanese XVIII Army briefly had his HQ at Madang. Also the 20th and 41 Division of the Japanese Army were stationed in Madang.
There are some interesting WWII sites in Madang and along the North Coast Road and in Alexishafen. These bases were bypassed by American forces, and not invaded until much later when Australian 15 and 21 Brigades and 7th Division recaptured Madang on April 25, 1944, and Alexishafen on April 26, 1944. The coastal waters around this area of the north coast contain several shipwrecks and sunken planes.

Fake It or Make It: Popsicles
In our column Fake It or Make It we test a homemade dish against its prepackaged counterpart to find out what's really worth cooking from scratch.
By Elizabeth Gunnison, Bon Apptit
Here we are, people, deep in the dregs of summer. It's time to pull out every weapon we have against the heat: sprinklers, sun tea, and ice pops.
But especially ice pops.
See also: The Best New Restaurants in America 2011
As a kid I must have eaten a popsicle every day of the week from May to September (favorite flavor: cherry). I'm not ashamed to admit that as an adult I still enjoy them frequently. The question now is--should I go to the trouble of making them at home, or will the store-bought version do?
The Contenders
Bon Appetit's Strawberry-Blueberry Pops vs. Edy's Strawberry Fruit Bars
As the story goes, ice pops were invented in 1905 when 11 year-old Frank Epperson left a stirring stick outside in his soda overnight, the temperature dropped, and he found it the next morning as a frozen treat on a stick. 18 years later Epperson began selling the creations, named them Popsicles, and--well--they really caught on. While Epperson's brand is still alive and kicking, "popsicle" has since become the generic name for any frozen liquid (typically, fruit juice) on a stick, and they are commonly homemade using everything from plain ice cube trays and toothpicks to purpose-built ice pop molds.
Relative Costs
Roughly the same. Edy's Strawberry Fruit Bars go for $4.49 for a package of six on Peapod.com, which works out to 75 cents per bar. I spent about $9 in on ingredients to make eight homemade bars--or $1.13 per bar.
Relative Healthfulness
Slight edge to homemade, but largely because we chose a healthy brand. The from-scratch pops contain just pureed fruit with a touch of sugar, a formula that's hard to beat. The Edy's recipe is aided by a few additives, but they go out of their way to keep the pops "All-Natural," using carob bean gum as a stabilizer and beet and turmeric extracts as coloring agents, in lieu of more traditional chemical-based additives.
Time Commitment
Twenty-five minutes of active time pureeing the fruit, plus about two hours in the vicinity of my kitchen to layer the fruit purees (a neat effect, but can be omitted if you're short on time). Allow them to freeze overnight.
Leftovers Potential
Considerable on both counts. Both the Edy's and the homemade will be good to eat for several weeks, and safe to eat (albeit possibly slightly freezer-burned) for several months.

What The Testers Said
First let me introduce our panel.
THE HEALTH NUT
A delicate eater, the health nut is calorie conscious but also likes to eat well
THE FOODIE
Calorie agnostic, our foodie judge has a sophisticated palate and a love of cooking
THE DUDE
Ambivalent toward food trends and health concerns, this guy just wants to be fed when he's hungry
THE KID
Between ages of 9 and 12 years old, not jaded, typically not into strong flavors
The testers sampled both ice pops blind. Everyone noticed a difference in texture between the two bars: the homemade bar melted into flakier ice, compared to Edy's syrupy, "gooey" consistency when melting. The Edy's was also roundly described as being the sweeter option.
The Health Nut: Homemade; "I feel like I'm actually eating fruit with this one."
The Foodie: Homemade; "The store-bought doesn't taste like anything except sugar."
The Kid: Store-bought. "I like the chunks of strawberry in this bar."
The Dude: Homemade. "This one tastes like a frozen smoothie."
The Verdict
Make it. Luckily, ice pop season happens to coincide with the growing season for all kinds of delicious berries, melons, and stone fruits, which means you have great popsicle ingredients at the tips of your fingers. It's fun to experiment with different fruits and flavorings, and investing just half an hour will yield a homemade treat that keeps you and your family both cool and healthy.

Katy Perry takes crown as No. 1 ‘Dream’ queen
Katy Perry is pop’s new cash queen.
The sugar-coated singer has pulled in an estimated $50 million in the past 12 year from her album, “Teenage Dream,” which has just tied Michael Jackson’s record for the most No. 1 hits from a single album.
Perry topped Billboard’s Hot 100 chart yet again this week with her party jam “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” making her the first woman and only the second artist overall to have five No. 1 songs from the same album. The record equals that held by Jackson’s “Bad” album.
“Teenage Dream” has sold some 1.7 million copies, with fans scooping up a total of 20 million singles tracks, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Getty Images
Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” album has matched Michael Jackson’s No. 1 record, making big money for her and her music label, EMI.
With albums retailing for roughly $13 and singles for $1.30, her financial partners will share more than $48 million, minus marketing costs and retailers’ share.
Top-tier artists like Perry can command between 15 percent and 20 percent of music revenue, while music producers get around a 3 percent cut, according to one iindustry source.
Perry worked with producer/songwriter, Dr. Luke on some of her hits, including “Teenage Dream” and “California Gurls.”
Perry’s chart-topping album comes at an opportune time for EMI, which houses her label, Capitol Records. Lender Citigroup is looking for a buyer for EMI, which it repossessed from Terra Firma, and is conducting second-round bids.
Perry’s publishing label is Warner/Chappell Music. The parent, Warner Music Group, is also bidding for EMI.

What is your treasure at night?
Tom Saaristo wrote a bunch of "What is your treasure" paper slips for me. This is the first one I placed.
On my walk home it just rained, I placed one into the baby sculpture's arms. It was very dark to take this shot, so I used my tall umbrella with the huge handle to stabilized the shot. It worked very well as a monopod.

Don't ask Georgia's live mascot about last season's 6-7 record because Uga's answer is always "ruff."
But it was rough. The Bulldogs ended with a Liberty Bowl loss to Central Florida and grumbling about Coach Mark Richt.
Someone recently asked Richt to offer a devastation impact report.
"Devastation means you've, like, blown up the program and it's beyond repair," Richt said. "So I don't think it was devastating. But it was awful."
The problem with Richt averaging 9.6 wins per season is that none of the seven Bowl Championship Series trophies captured by the Southeastern Conference says "Georgia" on it.
The Bulldogs seemed on the cusp when they entered the 2008 season ranked No. 1, but the only No.1 who emerged was quarterback Matthew Stafford, the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft.
There's a sense the program is sliding, and it didn't help that former Georgia quarterback Fran Tarkenton pretty much said that.
"The past is the past," cornerback Brandon Boykin said. "What happened last year, nobody is really proud of."
Georgia's possibilities cut a wide swath. The Bulldogs play Boise State in Atlanta on Sept. 3 and then host South Carolina.
"If you win those first two games you get national talk and potentially talk about winning the SEC," Boykin said.
The downside is a 0-2 start that spirals toward a coaching change.
Georgia is talented but not deep, so it's probably a plus playing its two toughest games first.
The rest of the schedule is, by SEC standards, quite manageable. Georgia misses the league's top two teams, Alabama and Louisiana State, and gets South Carolina and Auburn in Athens.
Georgia loses star receiver A.J. Green but returns sophomore Aaron Murray, perhaps the SEC's best passer.
The recruiting class has also been dubbed "Dream Team," led by tailback Isaiah Crowell. The offensive line is thin, but Richt jokes everything will be OK so long as no one gets hurt.
It's funny that winning an opener, in your home state, against Boise State, should be so crucial to an SEC team's hopes. It always seems easier giving Boise State credit at the beginning of the year than at the end.
"There's a risk in playing a team that can whip your tail, because they might whip your tail," Richt said. "But in order for us to get back where we want to be, which is highly ranked and highly thought of, we need to play this game."
Richt remains peachy positive and should get a medal just for surviving 10 SEC seasons. Richt's 96-34 record, if it could speak, would speak for itself.
"It's not difficult when you win," Richt said. "…It's when you get 6-7, that's when it's a problem. But greater days are coming. The best is yet to come."
