Splice (Vincenzo Natali, 2010) - Vincenzo Natali is a director with a nice visual eye, someone who, I imagine, would do wonderfully making luxury car commercials. And, I say that with the utmost of respect, believe me. And yet, he doesn't seem to have quite the grasp on feature narrative, as proven in Splice, his new sci-fi/horror film about a genetically mutated monster child that just seems to pile on the absurdities in the least artful of manners.

Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley star as Clive Nicoli and Elsa Kast, who live together as a couple and also work together as scientists of great renown who have created new organisms by mixing DNA from various sources, in order to create "enzymes" that help cure various diseases. They work for a powerful pharmaceutical corporation. In the face of mounting pressure from their benefactors not to take their research too far, they nevertheless decide to inject human DNA to their experiments, and the result is Dren, the monster baby at the heart of the story.

None of this is remotely convincing, and the film really isn't trying to get the audience to take it seriously. (They work at a facility called Nucleic Enzyme Research and Development, or N.E.R.D.) The campiness should get an experienced viewer primed for some real horror movie delights, with frights and unexpected twists. What we get instead is wooden acting, an awful script, and very little narrative momentum to keep us interested in this tale of the bizarre.

I don't mean to gang up on the actors. I like these actors. Sarah Polley got my attention as an actress in The Sweet Hereafter, and she's gone on to direct My Life Without Me and the impressive Away from Her starring a wonderful Julie Christie. As for Adrien Brody... as I think about it now, Brody has been making great films for nearly 20 years now. No, my gripe is not with the thespians here. I honestly can't think of anyone who could give any real performance with such tone deaf language and direction.

Watching how the designers and artists show Dren at various stages of her development did draw my interest. The armless goblin-like thing at the beginning stages soon develops into a young girl with alien eyes, and eventually into a young adult with overwhelmingly human features, even if she can fly and breathe under water.

The problem with the film is that it never gives you a way into the story that makes sense or that you might care about. The dramatic scenes are leaden and dull, full of really terrible, workmanlike lines, just getting the story from one scene to the next. All of this would be forgivable if it were a straight "B" picture, and it had some good old-fashioned frights in store for us. Unfortunately, for the most part, it is often caught taking itself far too seriously. The one exception is a scene where the two scientists' legitimate offspring, two slug-like (and non-human) specimens who generate the valuable enzymes, destroy each other in a bloody mess in front of a theater full of stockholders. Brody's reaction shot is priceless. This is the one instance where Natali has made the absurdity satisfying for the audience, by making it funny and unexpected. Comedy is all in the timing, which Natali too often forgets.

I guarantee this film will be taught in multiple NYU Gender Studies and Media Studies courses for years to come. There's a pseudo-intellectual element to how the film deals with sexuality that I can imagine academics would drool over. Perhaps this is what fooled A.O. Scott, who's own very positive review is the reason I went to see the film to begin with, or the 76% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes who have written about it positively. Ah well. Guess you just have to read this blog.

Has Sub-prime Had Its Time?

The sub-prime crisis has had a rippling effect on the worldwide economy posing critical challenges for Governments, Businesses, and Investors.

The United States Banks and Trading Houses re-packaged sub-prime debts into attractive-looking securities and/or investment vehicles, which were then picked up in European and Asian markets by Traders and Banks.

Sub-prime basically refers to those loans being given at a higher rate than the prime rate (i.e. the interest rate that Banks generally use as an index in calculating rate changes to adjustable rate mortgages (A.R.M.'s), and other variable short term loans); according to data published by the Wall Street Journal On-Line, the prime rate in the United States is currently 5%.

Sub-prime lending is also known as B-Paper lending. Borrowers generally tend to have compromised credit histories.

Sub-prime loans incur a higher interest rate than an A-Paper loan due to the perceived increase of the Borrower being more of a risk.

Along, with sub-prime mortgages, the term encompasses sub-prime car loans, sub-prime credit cards, and the most abusive sub-prime lending practice of all, short-term "payday" loans.

The controversy surrounding sub-prime lending is high. It is alleged that sub-prime lenders engage in predatory lending practices, deliberately targeting the less-educated, racial minorities, and the elderly; those who may not understand exactly what they are signing, and/or could never hope to honor the terms of their loans.

Sub-prime loans are usually covered by collateral such as a car or house. As many of these loans include hidden terms and conditions, not to mention, exorbitant fees, Borrowers usually end up in default; their collateral is seized; or the property ends up in foreclosure.

As the United States is considered a powerful nation, extending it's control and influence over nations that may not be as economically fortunate, it can be better understood why the ongoing sub-prime lending and credit crisis in the United States has progressed to a restriction on the availability of credit in world financial markets.

Unfortunately, when the United States sub-prime mortgage crisis hit in 2006, Investors found their investments near valueless, or difficult to ascertain value; the inability to assess the value of an asset generally leads to market paranoia.

As a result, Banks tightened their lending policies, which led to higher interest rates, and difficulty in maintaining credit lines. Thus, overseas businesses with no direct connection to the United States' sub-prime mess suddenly began to find difficulty in maintaining credit lines; Banks stopped lending to each other and to businesses.
Don't be misguided though; sub-prime woes are now spreading into the prime market. Borrowers with good credit are experiencing sudden changes in financial security, causing them to fall 60 days or more delinquent on their loans, and foreclosures are climbing rapidly.

House prices continue to collapse and prime loan Borrowers are shocked to discover that they owe more money than their houses are worth!

Rate increases continue to rise making it more difficult to keep up with monthly mortgage payments.

The U.S. Government is stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they offer funding to assist troubled Borrowers avoid losing their homes will the effect cause more defaults or encourage riskier lending?

when im priming a car , is it normal that when im spraying the primer is a little rough and powdery..?

im learning to prime cars but when im doing it leaves alot of powder like sand is that norma.. any tips or recomendations more reducer more paint im doing 1/2 and 1/2 thanks .. is primer suposed to be sealed.

No, it shouldn't be rough and powdery. Just makes for more sanding. Possible causes include wrong reducer for the temperature/humidity (drying too fast), holding the gun (not an aerosol can I hope?) too far from the surface, or moving the gun too fast.

The entire car should be sprayed with special primer/sealer for best results, especially if changing colors. Sand very lightly with a very high # grit paper, as it is easy to break through. Blow off, de-grease, and spray top-coat.
