Noel Marshall 1931 - 2010

2010-09-02T23:54:00.000+01:00

Tribute to Noel Marshall (April 18, 1931, Chicago -- June 30, 2010) He wrote, directed, co-produced and starred in the film Roar (1981), which also featured his then-wife Tippi Hedren, stepdaughter Melanie Griffith, and his sons Jerry and John from a previous marriage to Jaye Joseph. Roar was an accident-ridden film that featured tigers and lions. The film took eleven years and $17 million to make, and brought in only $2 million worldwide.
Marshall, who was married to Hedren from 1964 to 1982, was also an executive producer on two of her films, Mr. Kingstreet's War and The Harrad Experiment (both 1973). One of his later films where he was credited as executive producer was A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), starring River Phoenix. Previously he was executive producer of The Exorcist.
But his most remarkable film was undoubtedly 1981's Roar, a wildlife drama made whith his family and more than 100 lions, tigers, elephants and other wild animals. Both Marshall and Griffith were attacked by lions during filming.
A passion project or a personal folly on an epic scale, Roar was made over several years on the family ranch in California and advertised with the tagline: "There's never been a film like Roar - and there never will be again".
Marshall died of brain cancer on June 30, 2010.

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you - ya
Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

After Malan, Hendrik Verwoerd, Balthazar Johannes Vorster ou PW Botha (the main leaders of the racial
segregation resgime "Apartheid"), the last flame of a Boer nation doesn't die since their first
arraival at the cape that cape that Bartolomeu Dias rounded. Its important to watch this interview
in which Eugene Terreblanche, AWB leader, talks about the Afrikaners and their hope to reestablish
their "promised land".

Power sharing deal in Zimbabwe

2008-09-16T17:51:00.005+01:00

Two crises, two countries but only one way of solving it. Both Kenya and
Zimbabwe suffered – in different ways, off course – political instability after
or during the elections. In both cases the opposition accused the government of
vote rigging. Also, in both problems the same solution: power sharing. It’s,
maybe, a new way to deal with discontent and accusations after electoral a
process and it is better than the old-fashioned african way to solve its problems:
guns, wars and rock n’roll. Let’s see if it works. At least we can’t accuse these
african leaders of business as usual.

Congratulations MADIBA
