Tüm hayal kırıklıklarına karşın &lt;b&gt;Lost&lt;/b&gt;’u güzel hatırlamamıza neden olan birkaç şey büyük patırtıyla başlayan bu yeni dizide bir arada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tarihin en ünlü hapishanesinin bulunduğu Alcatraz Adası’nı mesken edinen dizi, hapishanenin 1963’de kapanmasını tüm tutuklu ve gardiyanların aynı anda gizemli bir şekilde kaybolmasına bağlıyor. 50 yıl sonra kaybolanlar hiç yaşlanmamış bir şekilde tek tek geri dönmeye başlıyor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dedektif Rebecca Madsen (&lt;b&gt;Sarah Jones&lt;/b&gt;), Alcatraz uzmanı ‘nerd’ Dieogo Soto (&lt;b&gt;Jorge Garcia&lt;/b&gt;) ve büyük gizem hakkında bilgisi olan, bir nevi Fringe ajanı Emerson Hauser (&lt;b&gt;Sam Neill&lt;/b&gt;), hem her hafta ortaya çıkan eski tutukluların pisliklerini temizliyorlar, hem de büyük gizemi biraz daha aydınlatmaya çalışıyorlar. &lt;b&gt;Alcatraz&lt;/b&gt;, bir yandan haftanın davasıyla polisiye sevenlere, bir yandan da &lt;b&gt;Lost&lt;/b&gt; ya da &lt;b&gt;The 4400&lt;/b&gt; tarzı büyük mitolojileri parça parça aydınlatmayı sevenlere hitap ediyor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dizi bir &lt;b&gt;Lost&lt;/b&gt; olabilecek mi? Yoksa &lt;b&gt;The Event&lt;/b&gt; ya da &lt;b&gt;FlashForward&lt;/b&gt; gibi patlayacak mı, dört-beş bölüm daha izlemek gerekiyor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bunları sevdiyseniz kaçırmayın:&lt;/b&gt; Lost, The 4400, The Event, FlashForward&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-5958221070264751847?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/5958221070264751847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=5958221070264751847&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5958221070264751847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5958221070264751847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2012/01/yeni-dizi-alcatraz.html' title='Yeni dizi: Alcatraz'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2IXZA3FzOOM/TyGVO9eCG3I/AAAAAAAACIM/2z-ZYGp4AAs/s72-c/alcatraz-tv-movie-poster-2013-1020700668.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-4174158037378576521</id><published>2012-01-24T20:27:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T20:27:29.614+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pedro Almodovar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='La piel que habito'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='İçinde Yaşadığım Deri'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antonio Banderas'/><title type='text'>La piel que habito / İçinde Yaşadığım Deri</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Almodovar korku filmi malzemesinden muhteşem bir melodram yaratmayı başarıyor..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJtTqfmWETs/Tx73lIcEGNI/AAAAAAAACIE/VZ88XX5MKGE/s1600/Satisfactorio-estreno-de-La-piel-que-habito-en-Francia_noticia_main_landscape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="192" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJtTqfmWETs/Tx73lIcEGNI/AAAAAAAACIE/VZ88XX5MKGE/s320/Satisfactorio-estreno-de-La-piel-que-habito-en-Francia_noticia_main_landscape.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pedro Almodovar&lt;/b&gt; ve &lt;b&gt;Antonio Banderas&lt;/b&gt;’ı 21 yıl sonra bir araya getiren &lt;b&gt;İçinde Yaşadığım Deri&lt;/b&gt;, artık yakından tanıdığımız ve özlediğimiz Almodovar fetişlerinin çoğunu da perdeye taşıyor. Çoğu, çünkü bir tek tutkulu, eğlenen, eğlendiren büyük kadın karakterler yok filmde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almodovar, ilk defa korku türüne bu kadar yakınlaşıyor ve plastik cerrah Robert Ledgard’ın karısının ölümü sonrası yaşadıklarıyla mesleki saplantılarını tuhaf bir şekilde karıştırarak, kendi özgün melodramına dönüştürüyor. Film, Almodovar’ın kendi sinematik saplantılarını da teker teker hikayeye ekliyor: Cinsiyet rollerinin karmaşıklığı, hastalık derecesinde tutku, cinayet, ihanet, büyük yalanlar, büyük itiraflar.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kimler izlesin?&lt;/b&gt; Almodovar’ı ilk filmlerinden itibaren tutkuyla takip eden herkes. Antonio Banderas hayranlarını ise oyuncunun çok uzun süredir gösterdiği en iyi performansı bekliyor. Bir de, adam güzel yaşlanmış. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kimler izlemesin?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Volver&lt;/b&gt; gibi bol kadınlı, tutkulu, şenlikli bir Almodovar filmi bekleyenler hayal kırklığına uğrayabilir. &lt;b&gt;İçinde Yaşadığım Deri&lt;/b&gt;, yönetmenin en karanlık filmi.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-4174158037378576521?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/4174158037378576521/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=4174158037378576521&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4174158037378576521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4174158037378576521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2012/01/la-piel-que-habito-icinde-yasadgm-deri.html' title='La piel que habito / İçinde Yaşadığım Deri'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJtTqfmWETs/Tx73lIcEGNI/AAAAAAAACIE/VZ88XX5MKGE/s72-c/Satisfactorio-estreno-de-La-piel-que-habito-en-Francia_noticia_main_landscape.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-483551165809696716</id><published>2012-01-23T13:50:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T13:50:03.164+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='women'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Türkan Saylan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Iron Lady'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='biopic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meryl Streep'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Türkan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michelle Williams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mahpeyker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Golden Globes'/><title type='text'>Women’s biopics, here and there</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;style&gt;&lt;!-- /* Font Definitions */@font-face {font-family:"ＭＳ 明朝";

A treat, perhaps not in the sense of watching a film that will sweep you off your feet, but for the sweet anticipation of a performance that will stick with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That old lady is &lt;b&gt;Margaret Thatcher&lt;/b&gt;, Britain’s first and only female prime minister, an influential figure in 20th-century history, admired and hated for brazing head on into gender and class barriers and trying unabashedly and ruthlessly to implement a classic free-market ideology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film might have failed to please both the admirers of the Iron Lady, for focusing too much on her later years with dementia, and her adversaries, who believed the movie portrayed Mrs. Thatcher with far too much sympathy. But none dared to say anything negative about Streep’s Golden Globe-winning portrayal of the Iron Lady which was done with uncanny precision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/womens-biopics-here-and-there.aspx?pageID=238&amp;amp;nID=11994&amp;amp;NewsCatID=381" target="_blank"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-483551165809696716?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/483551165809696716/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=483551165809696716&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/483551165809696716'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/483551165809696716'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2012/01/womens-biopics-here-and-there_23.html' title='Women’s biopics, here and there'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PukHJXAR9aY/Tx1JEKtsv_I/AAAAAAAACF4/pUrLjSrNC1c/s72-c/biopic.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-585514751350936530</id><published>2012-01-11T15:43:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T15:43:57.334+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yusuf Pirhasan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='women'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kurtuluş Son Durak'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='violence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barış Pirhasan'/><title type='text'>Violence and women subject of new movie</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;The new movie ‘Kurtuluş Son Durak’ tackles violence against women with female characters refusing to be victimized by male oppression. The same cannot be said of many Turkish TV series, which often glamorize rape and abuse&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rSKZFxjfsMc/Tw2RMm6rF0I/AAAAAAAACFs/mQ7OkkK2DRQ/s1600/kurtulus-son-durak-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rSKZFxjfsMc/Tw2RMm6rF0I/AAAAAAAACFs/mQ7OkkK2DRQ/s320/kurtulus-son-durak-1.jpg" width="224" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not often you see an all-female cast in Turkish cinema, let alone in Turkish comedy. The fact the recent &lt;b&gt;Kurtuluş Son Durak (Last Stop Kurtuluş)&lt;/b&gt; is set around a deeply-rooted issue like violence against women makes the movie an even more important development to Turkey’s pop culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penned by veteran filmmaker &lt;b&gt;Barış Pirhasan&lt;/b&gt; and directed by his son &lt;b&gt;Yusuf Pirhasan&lt;/b&gt; as his debut feature, the film’s title refers to an address in Istanbul. The residents of the apartment building are the other characters. When &lt;b&gt;Eylem (Belçim Bilgin)&lt;/b&gt;, a young female psychologist, moves to the apartment soon after being dumped by her fiancé just weeks before their wedding, she at first tries her best to maintain her distance with an eclectic mix of female neighbors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='text'>The year of politics and thrillers in Turkish cinema</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;2011 in Turkish cinema saw political propaganda cede its place to more objective storytelling and directors hone their craft with action/thriller-type films. In 2012, meanwhile, vampires are getting ready to sink their teeth into cinemas&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--XjXVk5VSDY/TwIpw2MDyzI/AAAAAAAACFk/nArkk-YZFbQ/s1600/Page_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--XjXVk5VSDY/TwIpw2MDyzI/AAAAAAAACFk/nArkk-YZFbQ/s320/Page_1.jpg" width="226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year might not have been the most inspirational one in Turkey’s cinematic history, but it saw the biggest number of movies released in 20 years. There were the obligatory award-winning art house movies, and the mainstream comedies aiming for cheap laughs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But &lt;b&gt;2011&lt;/b&gt; was also the year political propaganda gave way to a more &lt;b&gt;refined method of storytelling&lt;/b&gt; in regard to Turkey’s recent history. 2011 also saw some directors try their craft in &lt;b&gt;action/thrillers&lt;/b&gt; to impressive effect. Here’s a look at some examples of the trends in 2011 films, though there were many more that could have made our list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/the-year-of-politics-and-thrillers-in-turkish-cinema.aspx?pageID=238&amp;amp;nID=10488&amp;amp;NewsCatID=381" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-8493254287343962128?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/8493254287343962128/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=8493254287343962128&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/8493254287343962128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/8493254287343962128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2012/01/year-of-politics-and-thrillers-in.html' title='The year of politics and thrillers in Turkish cinema'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--XjXVk5VSDY/TwIpw2MDyzI/AAAAAAAACFk/nArkk-YZFbQ/s72-c/Page_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-7208883834269360149</id><published>2012-01-02T23:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T23:45:37.929+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='James Bond'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daniel Craig'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Skyfall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Istanbul'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='007'/><title type='text'>From Istanbul with love</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;As the world’s most famous spy Bond prepares to jump into his 23rd adventure on screen, Turkey prepares to host him in Istanbul, Fethiye and the historic Varda Bridge in its opening scenes.

It was overlooked during its release, and when the timing coincided with the period of heavy censorship following the 1980 coup, it was eventually forgotten. Now, after three decades, the film is finding an audience in Turkey, mostly thanks to the &lt;b&gt;Festival On Wheels&lt;/b&gt; that recently traveled to Ankara, Sinop and İzmir. The film was screened under a special section called &lt;b&gt;Emigres&lt;/b&gt; devoted to Kurtiz’s film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/gul-hasan-finds-its-belated-audience-.aspx?pageID=238&amp;amp;nID=9461&amp;amp;NewsCatID=381" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-1405303748594070224?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/1405303748594070224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=1405303748594070224&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/1405303748594070224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/1405303748594070224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2012/01/gul-hasan-finds-its-belated-audience.html' title='&apos;Gül Hasan&apos;

and &lt;b&gt;Min Dit: The Children of Diyarbakır&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government’s undertakings to include greater cultural rights and freedom for Kurds and put an end to separatist notions took two different directions in Turkish cinema. While mainstream cinema was less condemning and more sympathetic toward the past, an independent Turkish cinema by Kurdish filmmakers promised fresh cinema, with distinctive voices, aiming straight at the heart of problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_ctl01_ctl00_lblSpot"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_ctl01_ctl00_lblSpot"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/in-flames-tackles-tough-issues.aspx?pageID=238&amp;amp;nID=8903&amp;amp;NewsCatID=381" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-2384185848545003766?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/2384185848545003766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=2384185848545003766&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2384185848545003766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2384185848545003766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/12/in-flames-tackles-tough-issues.html' title='‘In Flames’ tackles tough issues'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mbbC5GvU3xU/TunCgs-xCTI/AAAAAAAACEw/wAzCoBG3qDU/s72-c/yangin-var-3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-1402855151727450816</id><published>2011-12-15T11:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T11:42:42.361+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Entelköy Efeköy&apos;e Karşı'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ecotopia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yüksel Aksu'/><title type='text'>‘Ecotopia’ unites villagers against eco-villagers</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_ctl01_ctl00_lblSpot"&gt;In ‘Entelköy Efeköy’e Karşı’, residents of an Aegean village come face to face with eco-villagers, tired intellectuals from the city.

For the handful of people that have seen advanced screenings of the movie, however, it is already promising to be yet another litmus test of mainstream Turkish attitudes toward a prominent taboo: homosexuality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film’s controversial nature arises from its blunt tackling of homosexuality in its relation to traditions, family, state and the military. Co-directed by &lt;b&gt;M. Caner Alper&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Mehmet Binay&lt;/b&gt;, the film won five Golden Oranges at the recent Golden Orange Film Festival, Turkey’s most prestigious film event. &lt;b&gt;Zenne&lt;/b&gt; took home the Best Film Award, the Turkish Cinema Critics Guild’s Best Debut Feature Award, as well as honors for cinematography and best supporting actor and actress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/zenne-dancer-stirs-controversy-on-taboo-subject.aspx?pageID=238&amp;amp;nID=7081&amp;amp;NewsCatID=381" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7246747726411537106?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7246747726411537106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7246747726411537106&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7246747726411537106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7246747726411537106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/12/zenne-dancer-stirs-controversy-on-taboo.html' title='&apos;Zenne Dancer&apos; stirs controversy on taboo subject'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RyCj0UEpPHs/Tum-dq67TLI/AAAAAAAACEg/M4VJLEjQok0/s72-c/Zenne02-675x449.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-3063340909016695337</id><published>2011-11-15T21:45:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-11-15T21:51:40.839+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gelecek Uzun Sürer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sonbahar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ozcan Alper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><title type='text'>Searching for elegies in ‘Future Lasts Forever’</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Having impressed the audience with his debut feature, director Özcan Alper shows that waiting is worth while with his second feature. ‘Gelecek Uzun Sürer’ (Future Lasts Forever) is a harrowing journey into the heart of the war in southeastern Turkey, not through political propaganda but through powerful human stories.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-loARNnm86AE/TsLCUKzXYTI/AAAAAAAACEQ/5I2VUnjv1S4/s1600/310225_272756749426919_263570340345560_729991_1649794445_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-loARNnm86AE/TsLCUKzXYTI/AAAAAAAACEQ/5I2VUnjv1S4/s320/310225_272756749426919_263570340345560_729991_1649794445_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who had watched &lt;b&gt;Sonbahar (Autumn)&lt;/b&gt;, the inspiring debut feature from director and writer &lt;b&gt;Özcan Alper&lt;/b&gt; that was released two years ago, his next feature had become the source of some true anticipation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;b&gt;Sonbahar&lt;/b&gt;, Alper took the audience to the Black Sea region, where his hometown is, and told the heartbreaking tale of a political prisoner released after a sentence of 10 years.

The book was promoted as “an Ankara crime story,” and featured a maverick homicide detective, the Behzat Ç. in the title, an unlikely anti-hero who immediately earned his own cult followers among modern Turkish literature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=behzat-c-maverick-tv-detective-makes-screen-debut-2011-10-30" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-4295364560135233938?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/4295364560135233938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=4295364560135233938&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4295364560135233938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4295364560135233938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/11/behzat-c-maverick-tv-detective-makes.html' title='Behzat Ç: Maverick TV detective makes screen debut'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cKFolSshZbE/TrGvVZSrJ9I/AAAAAAAACEI/JcmIPAeUfjg/s72-c/Behzat-C%25CC%25A7.-Seni-Kalbime-Go%25CC%2588mdu%25CC%2588m-sinemalar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-8382587895139087215</id><published>2011-10-26T12:56:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T12:56:21.165+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='documentary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Burak Cem Arlıel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Holocaust'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish Passport'/><title type='text'>When a ‘Turkish Passport’ saved thousands of lives</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;The recent documentary movie ‘Turkish Passport’ is the unlikely story of Turkish diplomats who helped save tens of thousands of lives by issuing passports to Jews during World War II.

Great tragedies make good stories, and the Holocaust has been an unfaltering source for storytellers for decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish and non-Jewish filmmakers alike have turned to World War II for real stories that were more often than not more gruesome than the sickest mind could imagine. First came the stories of war. Then came the human stories of tragedies of families fallen and families forced to break apart, none spared for the sickest game the modern world has seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Schindler’s List&lt;/b&gt;, Spielberg’s magnum opus to many, was one of the first in exercising hope and praise for unsung heroes of WW II. It was the story of one powerful man who had clung to his humanity and saved over a thousand Jewish lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just when one thinks that every story about the Holocaust has already been told, an unlikely tale of hope, optimism and heroism, or “the only Holocaust story with a happy ending,” enters our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=when-a-8216turkish-passport8217-saved-thousands-of-lives-2011-10-23" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-8382587895139087215?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/8382587895139087215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=8382587895139087215&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/8382587895139087215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/8382587895139087215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/10/when-turkish-passport-saved-thousands.html' title='When a ‘Turkish Passport’ saved thousands of lives'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r62Fihd5SvA/TqfY9KBiDtI/AAAAAAAACD8/FE45jQH8Bog/s72-c/turk-pasapartu-turkish-passport-afis-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-3094558298699943947</id><published>2011-10-23T21:00:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T21:00:54.234+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Son'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oğul'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atilla Cengiz'/><title type='text'>'The Son' looks harrowingly at fathers and sons</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Director and writer Atilla Cengiz’s ‘Oğul’ (The Son) tackles war in southeastern Turkey through two fathers’ tragedy.

A number of Kurdish filmmakers, on the other hand, offered an independent Turkish cinema, more fresh and aiming straight at the heart of the issues. &lt;b&gt;Hüseyin Karabey, Kazım Öz&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Özgür Doğan&lt;/b&gt; are notable filmmakers coming from a background of documentary and docu-drama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week’s &lt;b&gt;Oğul (The Son)&lt;/b&gt; falls closer to the second category, offering a uniquely heartbreaking story and a promising new director, despite the shortcomings of the film. &lt;b&gt;Oğul&lt;/b&gt; is director and writer &lt;b&gt;Atilla Cengiz&lt;/b&gt;’s debut feature. Aficionados of the Turkish TV series will know some of Cengiz’s work as director and assistant director from TV in projects like &lt;b&gt;Hayat Apartmanı (The Apartment of Life)&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Aşk Yeniden (Love Again)&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=the-son-looks-harrowingly-at-fathers-and-sons-2011-10-16" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-3094558298699943947?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/3094558298699943947/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=3094558298699943947&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/3094558298699943947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/3094558298699943947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/10/son-looks-harrowingly-at-fathers-and.html' title='&apos;The Son&apos; looks harrowingly at fathers and sons'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nNcAAXp86pE/TqRWM1v7wbI/AAAAAAAACD0/86tOcWey240/s72-c/ogul.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-4311458961061552674</id><published>2011-10-23T20:51:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T20:51:54.362+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anneler ile Kızları'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish TV series'/><title type='text'>Mothers, daughters and real women on Turkish TV</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;The boom in Turkish TV series might have created a whole new economy, but they continue to rely on the cardboard female characters of the soap opera tradition, victims or vixens.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vuyGgGEm9Uk/TqRUA8u0PXI/AAAAAAAACDs/qgfPwRt2QRU/s1600/anneler-ile-kizlari.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="243" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vuyGgGEm9Uk/TqRUA8u0PXI/AAAAAAAACDs/qgfPwRt2QRU/s320/anneler-ile-kizlari.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkey’s growing economy and its newfound role as a political powerhouse in near regions might be up for dispute, but it sure is moving headstrong in becoming a global superpower in one area: the popularity of its TV series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;b&gt;boom in TV series in Turkey&lt;/b&gt; the last couple of years has definitely gone out of control. It is almost impossible to find a TV channel not running a series when you sit down with the remote control, save for football. The productions are becoming bigger by the day with their cast ensemble, flashy costumes and set decorations, as well as safe scripts that border on soap opera-like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The popularity of nearly 100 TV series has crossed borders to the Middle East, the Balkans, the Caucasus and some other Arab countries. Old and new favorites like &lt;b&gt;Yaprak Dökümü (Fallen Leaves), Bir Istanbul Masalı (An Istanbul Tale), Gümüş (Silver)&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Kurtlar Vadisi (Valley of the Wolves)&lt;/b&gt; have found their way into primetime TV in such countries like Iraq, Iran, Bulgaria, Greece, Russia and Kazakhstan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=mothers-daughters-and-real-women-on-turkish-tv-2011-10-09" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-4311458961061552674?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/4311458961061552674/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=4311458961061552674&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4311458961061552674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4311458961061552674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/10/mothers-daughters-and-real-women-on.html' title='Mothers, daughters and real women on Turkish TV'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vuyGgGEm9Uk/TqRUA8u0PXI/AAAAAAAACDs/qgfPwRt2QRU/s72-c/anneler-ile-kizlari.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-4117524692378875143</id><published>2011-10-23T20:42:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T20:42:33.339+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cemil Ağacıkoğlu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eylül'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><title type='text'>Loneliness and urban decay take center stage at ‘Eylül’</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LczCSdkN94o/TqRR1HmEOuI/AAAAAAAACDk/_oLF3mdrZVk/s1600/Eylul.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LczCSdkN94o/TqRR1HmEOuI/AAAAAAAACDk/_oLF3mdrZVk/s320/Eylul.jpg" width="224" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;‘Eylül’ brings yet another male protagonist with a mid-life crisis. Cemil Ağacıkoğlu’s award-winner film features lonely characters against the backdrop of the decaying city&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hot on the heels of winning four awards at the recent Golden Boll Film Festival just little more than a week ago, &lt;b&gt;Cemil Ağacıkoğlu&lt;/b&gt;’s &lt;b&gt;Eylül&lt;/b&gt; hit theaters this week. While "Eylül” means September, there is no direct link to the month nor the Sept. 12 coup of 1980, a favorite topic of Turkish filmmakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Eylül&lt;/b&gt; is Ağacıkoğlu’s debut feature. Like the internationally renowned filmmaker &lt;b&gt;Nuri Bilge Ceylan&lt;/b&gt;, Ağacıkoğlu’s foray into cinema began after a long career in photography. The photographer within the director is heavily felt throughout the film with long sequences, minimum dialogue and some beautiful cinematography, drawing the viewers into stillness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film tells the story of a man’s quest to deal with his wife’s sickness as he falls into the arms of another woman.

The first part of the romantic story, &lt;b&gt;Dream&lt;/b&gt;, was written by Topuz, while &lt;b&gt;Reality&lt;/b&gt; was penned by Mithat, a division of labor not reflected in the credits: The book’s cover listed its writers as Ahmet Mithat and “A Woman.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, &lt;b&gt;Hayal ve Hakikat&lt;/b&gt; is the name of a new exhibition at the groundbreaking &lt;b&gt;Istanbul Museum of Modern Art&lt;/b&gt; (also known simply as the &lt;b&gt;Istanbul Modern&lt;/b&gt;) that celebrates the works of &lt;b&gt;74 women&lt;/b&gt; artists who have left their mark on Turkey over the past century. As &lt;b&gt;Levent Çalıkoğlu&lt;/b&gt;, Istanbul Modern’s chief curator and one of the curators of the exhibit, puts it, &lt;b&gt;Dream and Reality – Modern and Contemporary Women Artists from Turkey&lt;/b&gt; is “a comprehensive anthology from early beginnings to the present day.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=8216dream-and-reality8217-celebrates-a-century-of-turkish-famale-artists-2011-09-25" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-5132078280769154745?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/5132078280769154745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=5132078280769154745&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5132078280769154745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5132078280769154745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/09/dream-and-reality-celebrates-century-of.html' title='‘Dream and Reality’ celebrates a century of Turkish famale artists'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-__0O6STOdMc/ToBM2D7Ej8I/AAAAAAAACDc/-_3lq58hcYQ/s72-c/Hayal-Hakikat.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-6356678383499636813</id><published>2011-09-21T20:51:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-22T00:23:43.774+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Western'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aliens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fantastic Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cowboys'/><title type='text'>Turkish cinema had its share of cowboys and aliens as well</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt;While the much anticipated Hollywood movie ‘Cowboys &amp;amp; Aliens’ hits the movie theaters, we remember the cowboys and aliens of Turkish cinema..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gzF64yfvDvY/TnpVs7-tESI/AAAAAAAACDY/l8g-jLkXYAo/s1600/Cowboys.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 387px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gzF64yfvDvY/TnpVs7-tESI/AAAAAAAACDY/l8g-jLkXYAo/s400/Cowboys.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654926512620376354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Westerns&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;science fiction&lt;/span&gt; are two of Hollywood’s defining genres.  Bringing together two action heroes of two generations, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Harrison Ford&lt;/span&gt;  and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daniel Craig&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cowboys &amp;amp; Aliens&lt;/span&gt; blends two genres as it lands a  spaceship into the Wild West of the 19th century.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial"&gt;It might come as a surprise to those not familiar with the history of  Turkish cinema that these two genres had their moments here as well.  The 1960s and 1970s witnessed an uncanny period, when movies flew high  with everything from westerns and science fiction to adaptation of  European comic books and American superheroes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The movie researchers &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Giovanni Scognamillo&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Metin Demirhan&lt;/span&gt; cite  the release of the very &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;first Turkish space movie&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1955&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;first  western&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1963.&lt;/span&gt; When Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood  made the spaghetti westerns a worldwide phenomenon in the 1960s, not  only Hollywood but cinemas of many countries were inspired. Turkey was  quick to jump on the bandwagon, which eventually saw at least 15 western  movies produced per year in the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=turkish-cinema-had-its-time-of-cowboys-and-aliens-as-well-2011-09-18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-6356678383499636813?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/6356678383499636813/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=6356678383499636813&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6356678383499636813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6356678383499636813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/09/turkish-cinema-had-its-share-of-cowboys.html' title='Turkish cinema had its share of cowboys and aliens as well'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gzF64yfvDvY/TnpVs7-tESI/AAAAAAAACDY/l8g-jLkXYAo/s72-c/Cowboys.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-2782252279058188139</id><published>2011-09-21T20:40:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-21T20:45:20.652+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tayfun Pirselimoglu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saç'/><title type='text'>The lonely male lead returns in 'Saç'</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Minimalist writer and director Tayfun Pirselimoğlu’s award-winning ‘Saç’ (Hair) is the latest in a string of Turkish movies featuring a dysfunctional and lonely man at its center.

For many, wigs are synonymous with Tarlabaşı, a run-down neighborhood where migrants, Turkish and non-Turkish, live in what is a hostile atmosphere for many.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Many pass by the shops riding in a taxi, catching a quick glimpse of the wigs and hair extensions, then forget the bizarre scene once the stores are out of sight. Writer and director &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tayfun Pirselimoğlu&lt;/span&gt;’s award-winning &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Saç (Hair)&lt;/span&gt;, however, takes one of these shops and puts it front and center.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Using his now-trademark minimalist style, Pirselimoğlu delves into one of those small shops marked by decay and gloom, as well as the life of the man who seems to be one with the shop. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hamdi (Ayberk Pekcan)&lt;/span&gt; is a lonely man who doesn’t seem to tire of silently staring out his window at the prostitute on the street and chain smoking. It’s highly probable that she’s one of his regular customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=the-lonely-male-lead-returns-in-8216sac-2011-09-11" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full review (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-2782252279058188139?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/2782252279058188139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=2782252279058188139&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2782252279058188139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2782252279058188139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/09/lonely-male-lead-returns-in-sac.html' title='The lonely male lead returns in &apos;Saç&apos;'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-icyuD6bbwMU/TnoifMwRY6I/AAAAAAAACDQ/mLn6gfY1kxA/s72-c/Sac.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-7472896796893055435</id><published>2011-08-31T12:43:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-31T12:51:54.894+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Films About Conscience'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hrant Dink Vakfi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hrant Dink Foundation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vicdan Filmleri'/><title type='text'>Two weeks to film a short about 'conscience'</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;For the second year, the Hrant Dink Foundation is asking amateur and  professional filmmakers to upload short films on ‘conscience.’ The  Hürriyet Daily News talked to Films about Conscience project coordinator  Dença Kartun about the project’s message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rovMIUquYfM/Tl4Drmr-5FI/AAAAAAAACDA/O6yUswkvAEg/s1600/vicdan-filmleri.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rovMIUquYfM/Tl4Drmr-5FI/AAAAAAAACDA/O6yUswkvAEg/s400/vicdan-filmleri.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646955030423462994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;What is it like to be a lonely woman walking on a roadside, or to be a  physically challenged person on a “normal” street?

Today, she is one of the most popular names once  again, thanks to a cleverly-planned social media attack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Cebeci had little more than a handful of followers on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Twitter&lt;/span&gt;, the  micro-blogging platform, until she recently shared some revealing photos  of herself with followers; one showed her in a nightgown, another  pictured her wrapped in a towel just before taking a shower, and the  final bomb revealed her with much less than a towel. Within days,  thousands started following her on Twitter, and today Cebeci has nearly  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;300,000 followers&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It seems it wasn’t really a naive move to please her limited number  of fans, but a more cleverly-devised ploy to increase her popularity –  not unlike American model &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Adrianne Curry&lt;/span&gt;’s attempts to rescue herself  from obscurity by sharing nude or semi-nude pictures of herself via  Twitter. But Cebeci went a step further, showing glimpses of a social  media strategy on her part by immediately giving her fans a name, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Panpiş&lt;/span&gt;  – not unlike Lady Gaga, who calls her fans Little Monsters.

Because the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oscar&lt;/span&gt; race has begun, even here in Turkey.  For a film to be eligible for the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Best Foreign Language Film in the  Academy Awards&lt;/span&gt;, it needs to be screened at least one week in movie  theaters throughout the year. And the deadline is Sept. 30.

To no avail. The closest a  Turkish film has come to being nominated was back in 2008 when &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Üç  Maymun (Three Monkeys)&lt;/span&gt;, again by Ceylan, was among the shortlist of  nine films, eventually not making it to the five nominated movies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=will-the-oscar-ever-go-to-a-turkish-film-2011-08-07" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-5216002014120016861?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/5216002014120016861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=5216002014120016861&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5216002014120016861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5216002014120016861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/08/will-oscar-ever-go-to-turkish-film.html' title='Will the Oscar ever go to a Turkish film?'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccu29cn-9x8/Tj_DFeiSDsI/AAAAAAAACCY/W9wWEmC0oJw/s72-c/bir_zamanlar_anadoluda_nuri_bilge_ceylan-756x1024.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-3866271524021635722</id><published>2011-08-05T13:19:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-05T13:22:34.885+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='True Blood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sosyal medya'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Twitter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GaGa bloG'/><title type='text'>#TrueBlood sosyal medyaya taze kan getiriyor</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bu başlığı koymazsak ayıp olurdu. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/true-blood/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;True Blood&lt;/a&gt; bir yaz dizisi.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;  Yani seksi vampir karakterleri gibi derin bir uykuya yatıyor ve yaz  başında dünyanın dört bir yanındaki kana susamış izleyicisiyle  buluşuyor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dokuz aylık bir uyku uzun bir süre.

True Blood ise, en başından beri &lt;strong&gt;sosyal medyayı kullanmada bir numara.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f3dxYUfjsyo/TjvEUcEmRQI/AAAAAAAACCQ/PyObxT-tZp4/s1600/inside-true-blood-small.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f3dxYUfjsyo/TjvEUcEmRQI/AAAAAAAACCQ/PyObxT-tZp4/s400/inside-true-blood-small.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637315213996213506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blog yazarlarına Tru Blood&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dördüncü sezonunu izlediğimiz True Blood, 2008 yılında daha izleyiciyle tanışmadan sıkı bir &lt;strong&gt;sosyal medya kampanyasına&lt;/strong&gt; başlıyor. Dizinin ev sahibi &lt;strong&gt;HBO kanalı&lt;/strong&gt;, vampirler, doğaüstü, korku sineması gibi alanlarda popüler olan &lt;strong&gt;blog yazarlarına&lt;/strong&gt; dizinin çıkış noktası olan sentetik kan Tru Blood’dan gönderiyor. Dizi başlamadan birçok &lt;strong&gt;web sitesi&lt;/strong&gt; ve &lt;strong&gt;online bir oyun&lt;/strong&gt;  internette yerini alıyor. True Blood, daha televizyonda gösterilmeye  başlamadan internette hayran kitlesini oluşturmaya başlıyor. İlk bölüm  gösterildikten sonra da web siteleri alıp başını gidiyor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.medyagaga.com/archives/456" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yazının devamı GaGa bloG'da&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-3866271524021635722?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/3866271524021635722/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=3866271524021635722&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/3866271524021635722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/3866271524021635722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/08/trueblood-sosyal-medyaya-taze-kan.html' title='#TrueBlood sosyal medyaya taze kan getiriyor'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f3dxYUfjsyo/TjvEUcEmRQI/AAAAAAAACCQ/PyObxT-tZp4/s72-c/inside-true-blood-small.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-7806386123218333494</id><published>2011-08-01T21:17:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2011-08-01T21:26:34.930+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='women'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kate Middleton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tracey Emin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Amy Winehouse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='celebrity'/><title type='text'>British women example of celebrities under pressure</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The aftermath of Amy Winehouse’s death, a recent exhibition in the  Buckingham Palace and a Tracey Emin retrospective, all show that it’s  becoming even harder to succumb to the pressures of public scrutiny on  perceptions of the ideal woman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A3za1_AvJ1c/Tjbvk4M2TQI/AAAAAAAACCI/gByCMIxC2yo/s1600/Amy-Kate-Tracey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A3za1_AvJ1c/Tjbvk4M2TQI/AAAAAAAACCI/gByCMIxC2yo/s400/Amy-Kate-Tracey.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635955400541359362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;What with twittering and video sharing and the paparazzi culture  symbolized by massive telephoto lenses, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;fame and celebrity&lt;/span&gt; have turned  into something altogether different than what it was two decades ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It’s becoming harder each day to believe in the magic and sparkle of  being a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;celebrity&lt;/span&gt;.

This was in the early 2000s, before dozens of TV series replaced talent  shows as a ratings generator. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;That time has unexpectedly come again as a plethora of talent shows  are appearing on TV one after another.

Harry’nin en büyük bahtsızlığı, yedi kitap ve sekiz filmle giderek büyüyen hikayesinde &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sosyal medyanın&lt;/span&gt; hayatımızın bir parçasına dönüşmesini ancak ucundan yakalayabilmesinde.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;İlk Harry Potter kitaplarını okuduğumda &lt;a href="http://www.mugglenet.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mugglenet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ve &lt;a href="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Leaky Cauldron&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; web sitelerini bulduğum için ne kadar şanslı hissettiğimi hatırlıyorum. Sonra kitapların (ve filmlerin) ortasında bir yerde &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Facebook&lt;/span&gt; hayatımıza girdi.

There was a surprise documentary  by director Önder Uygun, chronicling Rıfat Ilgaz’s life that was spent  with much suffering, courage and writing&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The northern town of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cide&lt;/span&gt; is one of the few places in Turkey that  truly owns up to its legacy. The residents of Cide are proud their town  is home to one of the greatest literary names in modern Turkey, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rıfat  Ilgaz&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Last Thursday, July 7, was the 18th anniversary of Ilgaz’s death,  coinciding with the annual &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rıfat Ilgaz Sarıyazma Culture and Arts  Festival&lt;/span&gt;, held in Cide for the past 16 years. Last weekend witnessed a  string of events celebrating the life and works of Ilgaz, a striking  being captured in the premiere of the first documentary featuring Ilgaz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cinaryayincilik.com.tr/cinar/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Çınar Publishing House&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

told Hürriyet Daily News this year  was the centennial of Ilgaz’s birth, and “that’s why it was important  to have the documentary ready to mark the occasion.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;İncesu recited one of Ilgaz’s most famous poems to summarize the  sentiments of the work they have been doing for the centennial: “I split  my century into four parts. / Each part, a season, / One left, three  gone. / Summer has gone, so has autumn, / Winter, with its snow and  blizzard, has gone, / There is only the evergreen spring left!” İncesu  and a group of devoted fans, including his son &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Aydın Ilgaz&lt;/span&gt;, are making  sure that they are able to create the spring Rıfat Ilgaz was never able  to have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=remembering-the-8216hundredyear--old-sycamore8217-rifat-ilgaz-2011-07-10" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Photo: İsa Çelik&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

June is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pride Month&lt;/span&gt; in many countries as LGBT communities the world hold events in time with the anniversary of the 1969 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Stonewall&lt;/span&gt; riots that kick-started the gay rights movement in the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;While the colorful, often stereotyped, and mostly marginalized photos of Pride parades around the world are splashed over the pages of newspapers in Turkey, not much is seen or read about the country’s very own &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pride Week&lt;/span&gt;, which began nearly two decades ago and returns this year on Monday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The very first Pride Week goes back to 1993 when the organization of the events opened the way for the establishment of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lambdaistanbul&lt;/span&gt;, the biggest LGBT organization in Turkey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=istanbul-becoming-proud-of-pride-week-2011-06-19" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-2792220178507592245?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/2792220178507592245/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=2792220178507592245&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2792220178507592245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2792220178507592245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/06/istanbul-becoming-proud-of-pride-week.html' title='Istanbul becoming proud of Pride Week'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FZpjWj-GKJM/TgEU1qRf65I/AAAAAAAAB_8/xBK35VLr7C4/s72-c/pride2010-4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-6048749230603567607</id><published>2011-06-07T00:01:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T00:07:03.031+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Istanbul Modern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Till Death Do Us Part'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='German films'/><title type='text'>German cinema coming to an Istanbul screen soon</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;Istanbul Modern Cinema and the Goethe-Institute  Istanbul bring together a selection of recent, award-winning German  films for the mini-festival, 'Till Death Do Us Part.'

The film, following the final  days of Fred’s life as the couple try to deal with his terminal illness,  takes a uniquely fresh approach to the themes of love and death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=a-chance-to-catch-recent-examples-from-german-cinema-2011-06-02" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-6048749230603567607?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/6048749230603567607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=6048749230603567607&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6048749230603567607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6048749230603567607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/06/german-cinema-coming-to-istanbul-screen.html' title='German cinema coming to an Istanbul screen soon'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RvBsb-js9zM/Te1BNg-LniI/AAAAAAAAB_0/fa5_mSY8b1k/s72-c/satte_farben_vor_schwarz.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-8144336667844832627</id><published>2011-06-02T00:50:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2011-06-02T00:53:25.213+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marilyn Monroe'/><title type='text'>'The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream'</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YZVxl4uDMTY/Tea0Vuj7v1I/AAAAAAAAB_o/ZJeWiUuZE4g/s1600/Marilyn-reading.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

The story of  a little girl’s foray into the reality of stigmas attached to a certain  kind of small-town woman is followed by a young man’s brush with  unrequited love in the most unlikely place. The third story features a  “bad guy,” who refuses to accept any responsibility in a life that would  make him feel good and worthy, while the final and the longest story  centers around a woman who returns to her town and to her family for one  final visit upon her mother’s death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=8216filedelfiya8217-stories-unmask-small-town-life-2011-04-29" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-6365779527894255616?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/6365779527894255616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=6365779527894255616&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6365779527894255616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6365779527894255616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/05/filedelfiya-stories-unmask-small-town.html' title='‘Filedelfiya’ stories unmask small town life'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8zw4dW0Zwis/Tb_oUU0pnfI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/LmlcF-S_zfI/s72-c/Yesim-foto-kucuk.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-9106375570354545787</id><published>2011-04-29T21:53:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-01T22:47:24.267+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Royal Wedding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kate Middleton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prince William'/><title type='text'>Royal wedding: Long live the social media</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Nobody can say the British royal family isn't keeping up with the times.

He  is the president of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;England Football Association&lt;/span&gt; and organized a  concert with his brother Prince Harry in 2007 for what would have been  Diana’s 46th birthday, gathering such stars at Wembley Stadium like &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sir  Elton John, Kanye West&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p face="arial"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=royal-wedding-long-live-the-social-media-2011-04-27" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-9106375570354545787?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/9106375570354545787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=9106375570354545787&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/9106375570354545787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/9106375570354545787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/04/royal-wedding-long-live-social-media.html' title='Royal wedding: Long live the social media'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NDzqFG55BJY/TbsKGNUb7HI/AAAAAAAAB6w/GBfFmLNcM2M/s72-c/Royal-digital-2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-69463019796819408</id><published>2011-04-29T21:38:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2011-04-29T21:49:11.482+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Seyfi Teoman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Our Grand Despair'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bizim Büyük Çaresizligimiz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><title type='text'>Two men, a young woman and Ankara</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;In his second feature ‘Bizim Büyük Çaresizliğimiz’ (Our Grand Despair), director Seyfi Teoman takes the capital city of Ankara as a central character and asks the city to heal the wounds of a delicate relationship among three people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rf_dogseC8g/TbsHNeQzhtI/AAAAAAAAB6o/yLPPJiGgiYs/s1600/BizimBuyuk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rf_dogseC8g/TbsHNeQzhtI/AAAAAAAAB6o/yLPPJiGgiYs/s400/BizimBuyuk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601078489608586962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ankara&lt;/span&gt; is not the average go-to city when you want to make a film  about the urban middle class, the people of big cities in Turkey.

He began writing poetry and  stories, eventually trying his craft in novels and plays. Kemal was one  of the first authors to write about the working class, the alienation of  immigrants in big cities, mass urbanization and the changing social  structure of Turkey after World War II. He shed a realist light and took  a brutal look at poor people living in dignity. Kemal’s stories, novels  and plays also lent a voice to working-class women for perhaps the  first time in modern Turkish literature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=inmates-get-new-faces-in-72nd-cell-2011-03-13" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-6901412999293368874?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/6901412999293368874/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=6901412999293368874&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6901412999293368874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6901412999293368874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/04/turkish-inmates-get-new-faces-in-72nd.html' title='Turkish inmates get new faces in &apos;72nd Cell&apos;'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WuaUl_lKZ0g/TbpyqqLrbhI/AAAAAAAAB5A/T1P-f4vuo-s/s72-c/72Kogus.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-4090669042670495695</id><published>2011-03-22T14:28:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T14:33:15.424+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oscar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Kids are All Right'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if blog'/><title type='text'>The Kids are All Right ‘aile’yi parçalayıp, yeniden yapıştırıyor</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cWUgRl7qOB8/TYiW0nTnhNI/AAAAAAAAB4s/njF5qph_u6c/s1600/KidsAllright.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cWUgRl7qOB8/TYiW0nTnhNI/AAAAAAAAB4s/njF5qph_u6c/s400/KidsAllright.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586881168401728722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Ailenin ne olduğu, nasıl işlediği, neye dönüştüğü üzerine yetişkin bir film bulmak gerçekten zor.

The story of the unforgettable antihero Mahsun, the homeless car thief,  broke our hearts and went on to win four awards at Turkey’s &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Golden  Orange Film Festival&lt;/span&gt;, including one for Best Film, as well as  international awards in San Francisco, Thessaloniki and Turin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Zaim is one of the few names in Turkish cinema who has established  himself as a true auteur with six feature films since 1996. He is a  master storyteller who doesn’t choose substance over style or style over  substance since he blends both in what could be called a type of  filmmaking that is uniquely his own. His incredible insight into the  intricate dynamics of Turkey’s changing social structure and its history  has given us some of the most powerful films on the people of Turkey  and its recent history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=shadows-faces-and-long-forgotten-neighbors-2011-03-18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-194343125171047720?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/194343125171047720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=194343125171047720&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/194343125171047720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/194343125171047720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/03/shadows-faces-and-long-forgotten.html' title='Shadows, faces and long-forgotten neighbors'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Ys3hoWvXD0/TYiUrjSvowI/AAAAAAAAB4k/z4cMo1GjFjU/s72-c/G%25C3%25B6lgeler.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-825177848948211105</id><published>2011-02-24T14:01:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-02-24T14:14:09.087+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if istanbul'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if ankara'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if blog'/><title type='text'>!f 2011: Fantastik Filmler’de sınır yok</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LogQVbFTS7A/TWZLheKw6nI/AAAAAAAAB4c/4_NhISa2Qrk/s1600/IfFantastik.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 276px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LogQVbFTS7A/TWZLheKw6nI/AAAAAAAAB4c/4_NhISa2Qrk/s400/IfFantastik.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577228226950916722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;“All great films, without exception, contain an element of ‘no reason’”  Lastik/Rubber&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;!f Istanbul&lt;/span&gt;’un &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fantastik Filmler&lt;/span&gt;’i hayal gücünün sınırlarını zorlamaya devam ediyor.

The changing world order, human  rights and new media have always been reflected in !f’s collection of  cutting-edge cinema, screened under such sections like Fix the World,  Rainbow Films, and the Opening, inspired by the government’s efforts to  offer a solution to the long-standing Kurdish conflict in Southeast  Turkey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=what8217s-sundance-got-to-do-with-f-istanbul-2011-02-12" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-678184054835593363?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/678184054835593363/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=678184054835593363&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/678184054835593363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/678184054835593363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/02/little-bit-of-sundance-comes-to.html' title='A little bit of Sundance comes to Istanbul for !f'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iSejhatL__I/TWZGZVtqrXI/AAAAAAAAB4U/Es_hygsC6fU/s72-c/Sundance-new1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-7666432613346914963</id><published>2011-02-24T13:30:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-02-24T13:35:31.577+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if istanbul'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if ankara'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Açilim'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Opening'/><title type='text'>Kurdish films featured at !f in Istanbul</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Last year's popular section 'The Opening' continues at this year's !f  AFM International Independent Film Festival.

Both are accused of tarnishing Turkey's  history. But when it comes to the ultra-nationalistic, ultra-violent  movie 'Valley of the Wolves: Palestine,' there's no reaction&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O9jXHVaX9HQ/TWU_sCtO1II/AAAAAAAAB4E/em40GFbzDKg/s1600/Muhtesem-Yuzyil.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O9jXHVaX9HQ/TWU_sCtO1II/AAAAAAAAB4E/em40GFbzDKg/s400/Muhtesem-Yuzyil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576933739441607810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" &gt;Turkey is the best country in the world, Turkish history is solely an  epic collection of glorious victories and Turks are the greatest people  to have ever graced the earth.

Çetin is a persona who is much larger than the sum of his parts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s a rule of thumb that nearly all popular figures generate their unique brand of devoted fans and followers, along with haters of a similar fervor.

Amerikalı yazarlar,&lt;strong&gt; Inception&lt;/strong&gt;'ın yönetmeni &lt;strong&gt;Christoper Nolan&lt;/strong&gt; neden aday olmadı diye bas bas bağırırken, &lt;strong&gt;Lisa Cholodenko&lt;/strong&gt; ve &lt;strong&gt;Debra Granik&lt;/strong&gt;'in pas geçilmesi kimseye garip gelmiyor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bianet.org/biamag/diger/127515-beyaz-erkeklerin-hakimliginde-ayni-tas-ayni-oscar" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yazının devamı bianet'te&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7464821265685985322?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7464821265685985322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7464821265685985322&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7464821265685985322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7464821265685985322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/01/beyaz-erkeklerin-hakimliginde-ayn-tas.html' title='Beyaz erkeklerin hakimliğinde aynı tas aynı Oscar'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TUb90IExX6I/AAAAAAAAB3k/CaKXYGu66V0/s72-c/Oscar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-3039954560521484203</id><published>2011-01-31T20:14:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T20:18:03.461+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Kennedys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sansür'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muhtesem Yüzyil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Skins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if blog'/><title type='text'>Kanuni, JFK ve kıçı açık ergenler</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TUb8PMlLr_I/AAAAAAAAB3c/keQMox6FyD0/s1600/TV-skandal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TUb8PMlLr_I/AAAAAAAAB3c/keQMox6FyD0/s400/TV-skandal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568415327295614962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;İnanılmaz fazla bir alana yayılan muhafazakarlık, tadında paranoya ve korku kültürü olmasa, TV’nin nasıl sınırları zorlayan bir skandal yuvası olduğunu da öğrenemeyeceğiz. Koca koca adamlar Kanuni pilates yapar mıydı, haremde kadınlar sütyen giyer miydi diye engin yorumlarını paylaşmak için o kanaldan bu kanala koştururlarken, yerli dizilerle pek fazla ilgisi olmayanların da aklına kurt düşürüverdiler. Neyin nesi bu dizi diye merak edenlerden birisi olarak, umarım izlediğim yarım bölümle &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Muhteşem Yüzyıl&lt;/span&gt; dizisine birazcık da olsa reyting kazandırmışımdır.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Durum yalnızca bizim muhteşem ülkemizde diye düşünenler biraz rahatlayabilir. Muhafazakarlık ve paranoya konusunda Amerika’nın da bizden pek bir farkı yok. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Katie Holmes&lt;/span&gt;’un Jackie Kennedy’yi, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Greg Kinnear&lt;/span&gt;’ın da çapkın kocasını canlandırdığı, bu ay gösterilmesi planlanan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Kennedys&lt;/span&gt; dizisi, daha başlamadan yayından kaldırıldı. “Tarihsel hatalarla” dolu olduğu ve”‘bu büyük aileyi rahatsız edici bir bakış açısıyla” anlattığı iddia edilen mini dizi, üç haftadır yayınlanacak kanal bulamıyor. Tabii işin içinde, Amerika’nın en güçlü ailesi olunca seyirciyle buluşması biraz zor gözüküyor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://ifistanbul.com/blog/index.php/2011/01/25/kanuni-jfk-ve-kici-acik-ergenler.html" target="_blank"&gt;Yazının devamı !f Blog'da&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-3039954560521484203?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/3039954560521484203/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=3039954560521484203&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/3039954560521484203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/3039954560521484203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/01/kanuni-jfk-ve-kc-ack-ergenler.html' title='Kanuni, JFK ve kıçı açık ergenler'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TUb8PMlLr_I/AAAAAAAAB3c/keQMox6FyD0/s72-c/TV-skandal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-9039037284216881006</id><published>2011-01-20T12:00:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-20T12:03:46.301+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Altin Küre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natalie Portman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Social Network'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Kids are All Right'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Golden Globes'/><title type='text'>Altın Küre dedikoduları</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TTgIYW9lEAI/AAAAAAAAB3A/6KBJV4231vY/s1600/Globes2011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 276px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TTgIYW9lEAI/AAAAAAAAB3A/6KBJV4231vY/s400/Globes2011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564206554189991938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Geceye &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Angelina Jolie&lt;/span&gt;’nin ne beter bir oyuncu, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1243957/" target="_blank"&gt;The Tourist&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;’in  de ne kötü bir film olduğunu söyleyerek başlayan birinin sunduğu ödül  töreninde kimlerin kazandığını kim hatırlar?

Hot on the heels of the  recent DVD release of the film, Demirer and Akbağ reprise their roles as  the fish-out-of-water clarinet player and the brazen nightclub singer  in the recent sequel, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eyvah Eyvah 2&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Both Demirer and Akbağ have been household names for two decades.  After starting her career as a stage actor in the 1980s, Akbağ became a  fixture on Turkish TV with her hilarious characters in the TV show &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bir  Demet Tiyatro&lt;/span&gt; in the late 1990s.

Although you could read about its groundbreaking subject matter, and why we had a social duty to watch it in theaters, we had yet to see a film review among the dozens of blog entries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Other Angels&lt;/span&gt; is the first feature movie to take a candid look at the lives of the transgender community in Istanbul since 1993’s &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dönersen Islık Çal (Whistle If You Come Back)&lt;/span&gt;. The heavy virtual traffic was thanks to those sensitive about the tragic lives of transgender people in Turkey. Here was a chance to make transgender people more visible, a chance to watch them as multidimensional characters as opposed to the simplified and unfair stereotypes they were accustomed to being depicted with.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The movie follows the lives of four transgender women living together in the underbelly of Istanbul. They are all sex workers, as is the case unfortunately for most transgender women in Turkey. Save for the novice &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sanem (Didem Soylu)&lt;/span&gt;, the other three are street-smart, true warriors in a world where they are constantly on the lookout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=a-candid-portrayal-of-transgender-community-2010-12-23" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-8430682924376173344?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/8430682924376173344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=8430682924376173344&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/8430682924376173344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/8430682924376173344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/01/turkish-transgender-film-gets-mark-for.html' title='Turkish transgender film gets marks for bravery'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TTCLZiJ5-aI/AAAAAAAAB2o/mlOz6Y4p068/s72-c/Teslimiyet.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-3337786254361184916</id><published>2011-01-13T23:24:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-13T23:29:33.386+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='David Lynch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if blog'/><title type='text'>David Lynch şu sıralar ne yapıyor?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TS9updoj3qI/AAAAAAAAB2Y/jQ1a4tZSfgI/s1600/DavidLynch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 310px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TS9updoj3qI/AAAAAAAAB2Y/jQ1a4tZSfgI/s320/DavidLynch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561785723434294946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;İzleyebileceğiniz en garip, en deli, en amorf karakterleri sinemaya  (ve de televizyona) kazandıran, en karanlık atmosferi büyülü kamerasıyla  hiç beklemediğiniz bir aydınlıkla buluşturabilen, dünyanın en garip  yönetmenlerinden &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;David Lynch&lt;/span&gt; şu sıralar neler yapıyor? &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460829/" target="_blank"&gt;Inland Empire&lt;/a&gt; filminin çekim sürecini anlatan belgeseli &lt;a href="http://2009.ifistanbul.com/filmler/lynch.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Lynch: Perdenin Arkasında&lt;/a&gt;’yı 2009 yılında !f’te izlemiştik.

There might have been a little misunderstanding  though, as Atatürk is only seen for a couple of minutes in the 1970  movie ‘You Can’t Win ‘Em All.’ It is not a historical drama but an  action adventure set in the 1920s in Turkey, with Charles Bronson and  Tony Curtis in the lead roles&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TSy9SyiIriI/AAAAAAAAB14/zJJmCD8Gh34/s1600/Ataturk-Bronson.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TSy9SyiIriI/AAAAAAAAB14/zJJmCD8Gh34/s400/Ataturk-Bronson.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561027770395962914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial"&gt;According to renowned Turkish filmmaker &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Metin Erksan&lt;/span&gt;, Hollywood has  been interested in making a biopic about &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Atatürk&lt;/span&gt; or a film about  Turkey’s Independence War since the 1940s.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;When &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Douglas Fairbanks Jr.&lt;/span&gt; visited Turkey in 1951 he is said to have  been attracted to playing Atatürk in a film project that never took off.  Later, when &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sir Laurence Olivier&lt;/span&gt; showed interest in the same script he  found that no government or civil or private institution would cooperate  in the production of the film and the idea was shelved.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Soon after, legendary American director and producer &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cecil B. DeMille&lt;/span&gt;  wanted to adapt Atatürk’s life and the Independence War to the screen.  They had no luck, however, even after production partner Adil Özkaptan  and actor &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yul Brynner&lt;/span&gt; met Turkey’s then President Cemal Gürsel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=ban-lifts-on-ataturk-film-but-where-is-ataturk-2011-01-07" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click here for full article (Hürriyet Daily News)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7959975073194503347?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7959975073194503347/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7959975073194503347&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7959975073194503347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7959975073194503347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/01/ban-lifted-on-ataturk-film-but-where-is.html' title='Ban lifted on Atatürk film, but where is Atatürk?'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TSy9SyiIriI/AAAAAAAAB14/zJJmCD8Gh34/s72-c/Ataturk-Bronson.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-7587375144629314701</id><published>2011-01-08T23:38:00.010+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-09T00:01:51.317+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='7. sezon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Grey&apos;s Anatomy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TV'/><title type='text'>Grey’s Anatomy küllerinden diriliyor..

İçine düşeceğimiz üç yeni dizi başlamıştı: &lt;a href="http://www.emrahguler.com/p/lost.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Desperate Housewives&lt;/span&gt; (ABC için daha iyi bir seneymiş). &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Desperate Housewives&lt;/span&gt;’ı en başından izleyip, çevremdeki herkesi heyecanla birbiriyle alakası olmayan bu iki yeni diziye başlatmaya çalıştığımı hatırlıyorum.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt;’ye biraz geç girdim. Ama ilk iki sezonu, bol sigara, diet cola ve birayla bir haftada yiyip bitirdim. Hemen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt; şarkıları indirildi. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Meredith&lt;/span&gt; ne kadar gıcık tartışmalarında, “O kadın Seattle’dan ayrılsa bir daha hiç bir arkadaşını arayıp sormaz,” deyip daha fazla anti-Meredith taraftarı yanıma çekmeye çalıştım. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Christina&lt;/span&gt;’ya hayran oldum. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Karev&lt;/span&gt;’le aşk-nefret ilişkisi yaşadım. Sonra düzenli izlemeye başladım. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Izzie&lt;/span&gt;’nin &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Denny&lt;/span&gt;’nin alvatvayır’ını kesmesi (doğrusunun ‘LVAD wire’ olduğunu biraz önce Wikipedia’dan öğrendim), &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CMkCqw4CsM" target="_blank"&gt;Chasing Cars&lt;/a&gt; şarkısı eşliğinde balo elbisesiyle hastaneyi terk etmesiyle ‘official’ Grey manyağı oldum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Sonra her parıldayan dizinin ilk iki sezonundan sonra yaşadığına tanık olduk. Bir iyi, bir kötü olmaya başladı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt;. Çiftleştirecek doktor kalmadığında &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Izzie&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;George&lt;/span&gt;’u birleştirip dizinin voltajını tamamen düşürdüler. Vasat bir 5. sezon, idare eder bir 6. sezondan sonra hastanedeki katille sezonu bitirdik.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geçen yaz yapımcılar, yazarlar, tüm yaratıcı ekip büyük bir olasılıkla uzun bir tatil yapıp, önceliklerini gözden geçirdiler ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt;’nin ilk sezonunda neler hissetiklerini, ne yapmaya çalıştıklarını yeniden hatırladılar. 7. sezonun ilk bölümünden itibaren, küllerinden yeniden dirilen bir &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt;’le karşılaştık. Gıcık &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lexie&lt;/span&gt; ve sümsük &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;April&lt;/span&gt; bile derinlikli, sevilen karakterlere dönüştüler aniden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Geçen haftaki geri dönüş bölümü &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Disarm&lt;/span&gt;, diziyi ilk başta neden sevdiğimizi ve de yaratıcı ekibin tekrarlanan onca yanlışı düzeltme konusunda ne kadar kararlı olduklarını bir kez daha gösterdi.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt;’yi yeniden izlemeye başlamak için 6 neden:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Doktorlar büyüyor:&lt;/span&gt; Dört seneden beri ilk defa karakterlerin gelişmelerine, büyümelerine tanık oluyoruz. Mızmızlanan yeni yetme doktorlar yerine sorumluluk alan yetişkinlerle karşı karşıyayız.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeni doktorlar oturdu:&lt;/span&gt; Dizinin reytinglerini yükseltmek için kalbi delik ya da kıçı açık garip hastalar gibi diziye eklenen yeni doktorlar sonunda eski karakterler arasında yerini bulmaya başladı. Yeni karakterler artık sivrilikleriyle değil, diğer karakterlerle ilişkileriyle dizide varolmaya başladılar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;İlişkiler büyüyor:&lt;/span&gt; ‘Yatacaklar mı, yatmayacaklar mı?’ ya da ‘Evlenecekler mi, evlenmeyecekler mi?’ gibi ergen ilişki problemleri yetişkin ilişki problemlerine dönüştü. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Meredith ve Derek&lt;/span&gt; çocuk yapmaya, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Callie ve Arizona&lt;/span&gt; uzun mesafe sorunsalının üzerinden gelmeye çalışıyorlar. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Christina ve Owen&lt;/span&gt; sürekli travmalarla test ediliyorlar. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mark ve Lexie&lt;/span&gt; ise eğlenceden ciddiyete sağlam bir şekilde ilerliyorlar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Izzie’siz bir Seattle Grace:&lt;/span&gt; Her ne kadar zamanında Izzie’yi bağrımıza basmış olsak da, dizi içerisinde ve dışarısında iyice zedeleyici bir karaktere dönüşmesi bir çoğunu diziden soğuttu. Dizi için habis bir tümöre dönüşen Izzie’nin &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt;’den çıkması fazlasıyla hayırlı oldu. Yeni ve eski karakterlerin kendilerini göstermelerine ortam yarattı.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yeni Denny Duquette:&lt;/span&gt; Denny’yi diziden çıkarmakla en büyük hatayı yapan dizi ekibi, yeni bir Denny yaratma çabasına emin adımlarla ilerliyor. Teddy, son bölümde hayatını kurtarmak için evlendiği &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scott Foley&lt;/span&gt;’nin ne kadar seksi olduğunu fark etmemiş gibi gözükse de, biz fark ettik. Bir kez daha ölümcül hasta-doktor kombinasyonu ölümle noktalanırsa &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grey’s Anatomy&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt;’tan beter olabilir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dr. Jackson Avery:&lt;/span&gt; Seattle Grace’de hala seksi ve de henüz çiftleşmemiş bir erkek karakter var. 7. sezonun ikinci yarısında Avery’yi bir kez daha üstsüz görmek istiyoruz.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7587375144629314701?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7587375144629314701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7587375144629314701&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7587375144629314701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7587375144629314701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/01/greys-anatomy-kullerinden-diriliyor.html' title='Grey’s Anatomy küllerinden diriliyor..

Ya herkesin konuşmaktan yorulmadığı büyük bir şey yapacaksınız. Ya da mütevazı sayıda ama ölümüne sadık izleyici kitlesinden şaşmayacaksınız. Yeni bir &lt;a href="http://www.emrahguler.com/p/lost.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; yaratma çabası patladıkça patlıyor. Önce geçen senenin sıkıcı karakterleriyle &lt;a href="http://www.emrahguler.com/2009/11/yeni-dizi-flashforward.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FlashForward&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, sonra bu senenin kafası karışık, giderek kötüleşen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Event&lt;/span&gt;’i. Tabii bir de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fringe&lt;/span&gt; var. Herkese hitap etmek yerine, dikkatli ve akıllı izleyiciyi elinde tutma stratejisiyle giderek güçlenen, her bölümle klasiğe dönüşen bir bilim kurgu dizisi. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geçen hafta &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. sezonu&lt;/span&gt; başlayan &lt;a href="http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/03/v-ziyaretciler-bir-kez-daha-dunyal-biz.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ise ilk bölümünden itibaren hala &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fringe&lt;/span&gt; olabilme şansını elinde tutuyor. Gerçi fazla zamanı yok. 10 bölümlük bu sezonda kendini tekrarlarsa, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ziyaretçiler&lt;/span&gt;’i de televizyon mezarlığına uğurlayacağız.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Red Rain&lt;/span&gt; bölümü geçen sezon bıraktığı açık uçları toparlayıp, yeni sezonun yapısını belirlemesi açısından iyi bir bölümdü. Ama bir kez daha, ‘Bu dizi nereye gidiyor?’ sorusuna cevap veremedi. Ziyaretçilerin kötü niyeti, direniş örgütü &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fifth Column&lt;/span&gt;’un dünyayı kurtarma çabaları hala askıda. ‘Kim ne yapmak istiyor?’, ‘Habire koşuşturan insanların ve uzaylıların planları ne?’ soruları uzadıkça uzuyor. 10 hafta sürecek bir dizi için ciddi zaman kaybı.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Önümüzdeki bölümden itibaren hızla finale ilerliyor duygusunu yaşamamız gerekiyor. Geçen sezon sonlara doğru giderek daha fazla hissettiğimiz annelerin savaşı teması bu sezonu tanımlayan temalardan birisi olacak gibi. Renk vermeyen iki anne, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Erica&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Anna&lt;/span&gt;’nın aralarındaki elektrik ve hikayeyi ilerletme şekilleri &lt;a href="http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/03/v-ziyaretciler-bir-kez-daha-dunyal-biz.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;’nin en güçlü yanlarından. 1983’de Ziyaretçiler’i hayatımıza sokan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;mini dizi V&lt;/span&gt;’nin kraliçesi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Diana&lt;/span&gt; da, Anna’nın annesi olarak karşımıza çıktı. Denkleme bir anne daha konması harika olabilir.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bremen’in mızıkacıları rahip, televizyoncu, milis ve dertli uzaylı karakterlerine acil daha sıkı diyaloglar, ortama komedi katmak amacıyla eklenmiş yeni yetme bilim adamı karakterinin de acilen çıkması gerekiyor. “Anna’s hot!” diye espri yapan bir karakter ancak diziyi sabote etmeye yarar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7983836290982172414?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7983836290982172414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7983836290982172414&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7983836290982172414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7983836290982172414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/01/v-2-sezon-1-bolum-red-rain.html' title='V - 2. sezon 1. bölüm: Red Rain'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TSemb4vwA7I/AAAAAAAAB1o/duUVJ5bfB6c/s72-c/V-Anneler.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-7965357496383801793</id><published>2011-01-07T00:52:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-07T00:55:21.486+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sansür'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Huckleberry Finn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if blog'/><title type='text'>Bu da başka bir sansür hikayesi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TSZIFGqCUzI/AAAAAAAAB0U/Doa5OYhuJMU/s1600/HuckFinn-n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 276px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TSZIFGqCUzI/AAAAAAAAB0U/Doa5OYhuJMU/s400/HuckFinn-n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559210042558927666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Her sansür yerinde güzel oluyor. Biz burada kendi ilkel özgürlük/sansür tartışmalarımız içinde debelenelirken, özgürlükler ülkesi Amerika’dan tarihe geçecek bir sansür haberiyle karşılaştık. Ernest Hemingway’in “modern Amerikan edebiyatının tek gerçek kaynağı” olarak tanımladığı bir klasik bu Şubat’ta yeni bir metinle okuyucuların karşısına çıkıyor. Mark Twain’in 1884 yılında yayımlanan romanı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Huckleberry Finn’in Maceraları&lt;/span&gt;’ndaki tüm &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;‘nigger’&lt;/span&gt; sözcükleri, siyahları aşağıladığı gerekçesiyle çıkarılıyor. Amerikalıların politik doğruculuk saplantısının ne kadar aşırıya gittiğini gösteren bu girişimin arkasındaki Twain uzmanı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Alan Gribben&lt;/span&gt; neden böyle bir şey yaptıklarını şöyle açıklıyor: “Irkları ve etnik farklılıkları tanımlama şeklimiz 21. yüzyılda çok farklı. Kızımın okuldaki en yakın arkadaşı siyah bir kızdı ve romandan nefret etmişti.” Aslında köle Jim’i beyaz yapmak daha iyi bir çözüm olabilirdi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://ifistanbul.com/blog/?p=6343" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Yazının devamı !f Blog'da&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7965357496383801793?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7965357496383801793/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7965357496383801793&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7965357496383801793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7965357496383801793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2011/01/bu-da-baska-bir-sansur-hikayesi.html' title='Bu da başka bir sansür hikayesi'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TSZIFGqCUzI/AAAAAAAAB0U/Doa5OYhuJMU/s72-c/HuckFinn-n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-8447365056349337222</id><published>2011-01-07T00:41:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-07T00:49:02.863+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pop kültür'/><title type='text'>2010'u sallayan 25 pop kültür olayı</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Betty White, Cher, zombiler ve Tarkan’ın dönüşü.

Dünya Kupası:&lt;/span&gt; Pop kültür bu seneki Dünya Kupası’nı yalnız bırakmadı. Louis Vuitton’un tasarladığı kupa çantasından One Shot! futbol sergisine ve vuvuzela tarışmalarına, maç izlemeyenler de Kupa heyecanının içine köşesinden giriverdi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;23.

Aralık ‘Neden seçilen sunucu(lar) yanlış?’ ayı. Ocak ‘Kimler aday olacak?’, Şubat ‘Oscar yarışında kimlerin hiç şansı yok?’ ayları. Bir de Oscar sonrası var. Mart da, ‘Kimin hakkı yendi?’ ayı.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Şubat sonunda gerçekleşecek 83. Oscar töreninin sunucuları bu hafta açıklandı: James Franco ve Anne Hathaway. Açıklanır açıklanmaz da, tüm dünyadaki sinema ve ödül düşkünleri kolektif olarak şoka girip, ilk tepki olarak ‘Ne alaka şimdi bu ikisi?’ dedik.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Peki neden bu kadar şaşırdık? Ve her sene neden aynı heyecanla sunucular konusunda şaşırmaya devam ediyoruz? Basit bir nedeni var aslında. Oscar yapımcılarının, töreni düzenleyenlerin sunucu(lar) konusunda istikrarlı bir yaklaşımları, törenin tarzına uygun belirli bir sunucu prototipi yok. Daha ileri gidip, Oscar töreninin belirli bir tarzı olmadığını bile söyleyebiliriz. Bu da, daha önce Oscar sunmamış biri olduğu sürece herhangi bir ismin sürpriz olacağı anlamına geliyor.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ifistanbul.com/blog/?p=5599"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" target='_blank'&gt;Yazının devamı !f Blog'da&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-5545550717231174968?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/5545550717231174968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=5545550717231174968&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5545550717231174968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5545550717231174968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/12/oscar-sunucularna-sasrmak-ya-da.html' title='Oscar sunucularına şaşırmak ya da şaşırmamak'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TQfCEj1wV5I/AAAAAAAAB0A/wtH-faJj1DQ/s72-c/Oscar-host.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-5566606018617733059</id><published>2010-12-14T20:58:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-12-14T21:07:53.749+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='J.J.

Bu akşam ilk bölümünü izleyeceğimiz &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Undercovers&lt;/span&gt;, evliliğe biraz heyecan getirmek için 1980’lerde test edilip onaylanan bir formülü ekranlara taşıyor. Ev işleri ve yatak sohbetleri arasında birazcık da dedektiflik yaparak hayatlarını renklendiren, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tehlike Çemberi&lt;/span&gt;’nin &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(Hart To Hart)&lt;/span&gt; Hart çiftini 40 yıl sonra günümüze uyarlıyor. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Undercovers&lt;/span&gt;’ın karı-kocası &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Steven ve Samantha Bloom&lt;/span&gt;, evlere yemek servisi yaptıkları işlerinden ara sıra uzaklaşıp, sofistike casuslara dönüşüyorlar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;J.J. Abrams eskiye dönüyor&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt;’un sona ermesinden sonra yazar, yönetmen ve yaratıcı ekibin neler yaptığı, hangi diziler üzerinde çalıştığı bir süredir internette dolaşıyor. Issız bir adaya düşen uçak kazazedelerinin hikâyesini beyinlerimizi sulandıran karmakarışık bir deneyime dönüştüren asıl isim ise &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;J.J. Abrams&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt;’un tohumlarını atıp aradan çekildikten sonra, hızını alamayıp paranormal fantezilerini bir başka diziye, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fringe&lt;/span&gt;’e bocalayan Abrams yeni dizisiyle eski romantik casusluk günlerine dönüyor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Casusluk, hayatı renklendirir&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Undercovers&lt;/span&gt;’tan yeni bir &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt; ya da &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fringe&lt;/span&gt; bekleyenlerin acilen beklentilerini yeniden programlayıp, Abrams’ın &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Alias&lt;/span&gt; günlerini hatırlamaları isabet olabilir. Dizinin karı-koca kahramanları Bloom çifti, ‘catering’ işlerinde mutlu mesut hayatlarına devam ederken kapılarına bir adam geliyor. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Carlton Shaw&lt;/span&gt; isimli bu adam, beş yıl önce CIA’den ayrılan iki eski casus Steven ve Samantha Bloom’dan kaybolan eski meslektaşlarını bulabilmeleri için son bir kez işe dönmelerini istiyor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bloom çifti de, ‘yalnızca bir kere’ diyerek casusluk işine yeniden bulaşıyorlar. Beş yıldır casusluktan ellerini eteklerini çekmelerine karşın en son teknolojilere hakim, vücutları hâlâ formunda ikili içlerini kıpır kıpır eden eski dünyalarına böylece dönüş yapıyorlar. Büyük devlet meselelerinin içine balıklama atlayan çift, daha önce konuşmama kararı aldıkları geçmişleriyle de yüzleşmek durumunda kalıyorlar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Aslında bu hikâye çok tanıdık&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Undercovers&lt;/span&gt; türünün benzer örneklerine yeni bir şey eklemeden, tamamen bildik formülleri kullanmayı tercih ediyor. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gugu Mbatha-Raw&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Boris Kodjoe&lt;/span&gt;’nin canlandırdıkları çift hem yetenekli hem güzel hem de her türlü casusluk klişelerinde bir numara olduklarını gösteriyorlar. Mükemmel evleri, havalı arabaları, şık giysileriyle, ‘catering’ işinde iyi para olduğunu da görüyoruz böylece. Bloom’lardan yardım isteyen derin devlet adamı Shaw, giderek derinleşen, gizli bir gündemi olan klasik şaibeli karakteri oynuyor. Steven’a geçmiş günlerinden hayran, bilgisayar dâhisi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bill Hoyt&lt;/span&gt; da, dizinin komik yan karakteri rolünde karşımıza çıkıyor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Bloom çiftinin birkaç eksiği var&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her hafta dizi ilerledikçe, Bloom’ların neden yeniden casus işine çağrıldıklarını anlatan daha büyük bir öykü olduğu ortaya çıkıyor. Anlatım, bölümün ilerleyişi, komedi ve maceranın karışımıyla &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Undercovers&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chuck&lt;/span&gt;’ı hatırlatıyor. Maalesef, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chuck&lt;/span&gt;’ın karakterleri arasındaki sıcak ve sevimli ilişkiler, en önemlisi de esas karakterin karizması burada ortalarda gözükmüyor. İki yeni oyuncunun canlandırdığı Bloom çifti, tüm çekiciliklerine karşın diziyi sürükleyecek elektriği yakalayamıyorlar. Her an gelecek diye beklediğimiz kıvılcımın, dizi ilerledikçe pek de yakında olmadığını görüyoruz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Undercovers&lt;/span&gt; tanıdık oyuncularla rayına oturabilecekken, Mbatha-Raw ve Kodjoe omuzlarına binen diziyi götürme göreviyle her bölümde daha fazla eziliyorlar. Ne zaman ciddi, ne zaman komik olacaklarına, hangi arada flört edip, hangi arada soğukkanlı davranmaları gerektiğine bir türlü karar veremiyor. Başlarda potansiyel vaat eden &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Undercovers&lt;/span&gt; izleyiciyi sıkmadan ilerlese de, televizyon mezarlığına adım adım ilerliyor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;30 Kasım 2010'da &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.radikal.com.tr/Radikal.aspx?aType=RadikalEklerDetay&amp;amp;ArticleID=1030727&amp;amp;Date=09.11.2010&amp;amp;CategoryID=41" target='_blank'&gt;Radikal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'de yayımlandı.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-5566606018617733059?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/5566606018617733059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=5566606018617733059&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5566606018617733059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5566606018617733059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/12/undercovers-jj-abramstan-gecmise-ozlem.html' title='Undercovers: J.J.

His latest feature, ‘Prensesin Uykusu’ (The Sleeping Princess), centers on Irmak’s trademark lonely man and a little girl in coma. Reality and imagination run rampant to heart-warming effect&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TQe8ZLAqniI/AAAAAAAABzo/6z5QLssdjkw/s1600/prenses1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TQe8ZLAqniI/AAAAAAAABzo/6z5QLssdjkw/s400/prenses1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550612206395760162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Çağan Irmak&lt;/span&gt; might just be the epitome of the ideal filmmaker. The prolific Turkish director knows how to tell a good story. And he loves telling those stories. He takes risks, he is highly imaginative and he never repeats himself. Each of his features is different than the previous. This might hinder his chances of being an auteur, but it definitely makes him one of the best Turkish filmmakers of our age.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will most likely hear his latest feature, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Prensesin Uykusu (The Sleeping Princess)&lt;/span&gt; labeled as “a modern fairy tale.” Any new film, book or work of art with some edge can very well be called a modern fairy tale. What Irmak skillfully manages to do is let his imagination loose while being simultaneously realistic and over-the-top along the way.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere along his career, Irmak has become the voice of the fallen modern man. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Prensesin Uykusu&lt;/span&gt; introduces yet another lonely man as the film’s protagonist. One of the most optimistic, most hopeful characters to come to screen, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Çağlar Çorumlu’s Aziz&lt;/span&gt; lights up the screen from the very first scenes. Riding on a bus every day to go from his apartment to the library he’s working in, he sometimes makes the people around him apprehensive with the big smile plastered over his face.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The smile is “always there,” as he informs one of the characters. He brightens his otherwise dull life with an imagination running rampant. He puts harlequin masks over the bored commuters in the bus, he greets a colorful phoenix high up in a tree, he shoos the giant underwater creature from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea&lt;/span&gt;, and when he is scared, he summons a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cyclops&lt;/span&gt; from the underbellies of his imagination.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving hope in most unlikely places&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TQe8zW3rXTI/AAAAAAAABzw/z2VsVir6w4Q/s1600/Prensesin2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TQe8zW3rXTI/AAAAAAAABzw/z2VsVir6w4Q/s400/Prensesin2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550612656255884594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Aziz has two people in his life. One of them is his childhood friend (in fact, his friend from the orphanage) and flatmate &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Neşet (Alican Yücesoy)&lt;/span&gt;, the womanizer with a heart of gold. And the other is the cleaning lady in the library, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hacer (Ayşe Nil Şamlıoğlu)&lt;/span&gt;, looking after him with motherly affection.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things take a turn in the routine life of Aziz as the little princess in the title of the movie moves into his building. With her mother. Aziz tries befriending the new neighbors, the 9-year-old &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gizem (Sevval Başpınar)&lt;/span&gt; and her single mother &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Seçil (Sevinç Erbulak)&lt;/span&gt;. Seçil is rightfully apprehensive of this overly friendly man as she is trying to escape from her past, with a very wrong selection of men.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon after they move in, Gizem falls into a coma after an accident, hence becoming the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sleeping Princess&lt;/span&gt;. Aziz and Seçil form an unlikely bond in the corridors of the hospital in a shared concern over the life of the little girl.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film’s narrative is mostly the real and imaginary world of Aziz, with state-of-the-art animation working as flashbacks to his past. While not refraining from showing despair in its most naked form, Irmak weaves a magical story brimming with hope. He has that talent: giving hope in the most unlikely places, shining a light in the pitch black. Maybe &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Prensesin Uykusu&lt;/span&gt; is a fairy tale after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Originally published in &lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=fairy-tales-come-easy-for-director-irmak-2010-11-25" target="_blank"&gt;Hürriyet Daily News&lt;/a&gt; on 27 Nov. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-6971738887987494301?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/6971738887987494301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=6971738887987494301&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6971738887987494301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6971738887987494301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/12/fairy-tales-come-easy-for-director.html' title='Fairy tales come easy for director Irmak'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TQe8ZLAqniI/AAAAAAAABzo/6z5QLssdjkw/s72-c/prenses1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-1881381819553242151</id><published>2010-11-29T15:08:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-29T15:20:11.689+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harry Potter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='David Yates'/><title type='text'>Harry Potter and the growing pains</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;The first part of Harry Potter’s epic finale arrives in movie theaters. ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1’ is both a somber acknowledgment of the coming-of-age of our hero and his friends, and the anxious anticipation of the showdown between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort next year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TPOnoMO9PYI/AAAAAAAABzQ/XdC_X3Y2BVI/s1600/HarryPotter1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 340px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TPOnoMO9PYI/AAAAAAAABzQ/XdC_X3Y2BVI/s400/HarryPotter1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544959875143777666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It doesn’t seem that long ago when Professor Dumbledore had warned Harry Potter and his devoted audience of the impending doom: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Dark and difficult times lie ahead of us.”&lt;/span&gt; Dark and difficult times are finally here. And the end is near, but not quite here.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The adaptation of the final book in the Harry Potter series, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows&lt;/span&gt;, hit the theaters around the globe last week. As to why the end is not here, the conspicuous &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Part 1&lt;/span&gt; attached to the movie title might answer it. In a probable attempt to milk the final drops of the cash cow that is the Harry Potter franchise, Warner Bros. decided to split the epic finale into two movies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;For fans, this works just fine. Warner Bros. might just have given us 14 movies from the very beginning. For those who have been following Harry Potter not from the best-selling books by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;J.K. Rowling&lt;/span&gt; but from the movies, it seems splitting the final book into movies works just as well. Now in his third Harry Potter film, director &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;David Yates&lt;/span&gt; manages to treat the first half of the book as a complete and coherent story of its own.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1&lt;/span&gt; does not look like a film sliced into two. Yates captures the calm before the final storm that will mark the end of the Harry Potter stories. The penultimate film sets the tone of the epic finale, just like the first half of the book was a preparation to the action-packed final chapters.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film will only be a disappointment to those who belatedly decide to jump on the Harry Potter bandwagon from the seventh film. We had seen in the previous film, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince&lt;/span&gt;, that Yates had made a brave decision to make newcomers feel unwelcome unlike the four directors before him. He continues his conviction here, hence making the film more about its characters than magical extravaganza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Lost in the woods&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TPOoAvQNdYI/AAAAAAAABzY/IO0U2VufrOA/s1600/HarryPotter2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 236px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TPOoAvQNdYI/AAAAAAAABzY/IO0U2VufrOA/s400/HarryPotter2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544960296861136258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It has become a tradition, even a cliché, to label the latest Harry Potter movie darker and more adult than the previous one. But clichés have a way of sneaking into film reviews. The film begins in an Orwellian world where &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dark Lord Voldemort&lt;/span&gt;’s name is pronounced openly to the sheer horror of witches, wizards and even Muggles. Voldemort’s dark mark in the sky and the Death Eaters capture the essence of this apocalyptic world.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The realization that things have changed so dramatically comes perhaps best with seeing our hero &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/span&gt; and his friends, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hermione and Ron&lt;/span&gt;, not in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the first time. There are no innocent school antics, no experienced wizards and witches to protect them from deadly spells, and sadly no Dumbledore to guide Harry Potter from the underbellies of darkness.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing Harry Potter and co. lost and paranoid in the middle of the desolate English countryside as opposed to strutting behind the safe walls of Hogwarts hits harder when we see the three children as young adults. As Harry, Hermione and Ron bicker and fight about the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Horcruxes&lt;/span&gt; they have to find and destroy, we can’t help feel the empty nest syndrome looming just around the corner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It is at best sad to see these children we have watched over a decade become the equivalent of young GAP models. There is love, teenage angst, rebellion and hormones, something hard to watch at times akin to seeing your child become a teenager. The three know they have to destroy the Horcruxes, the objects containing fragments of Voldemort’s soul, to send the Dark Lord into oblivion. But they don’t know how. They no longer have the guiding magic of the elders. And there are few things sadder than seeing young wizards trying to find their way on their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Originally published in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=harry-potter-and-the-growing-pains-2010-11-23" target="_blank"&gt;Hürriyet Daily News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; on 23 Nov. 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-1881381819553242151?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/1881381819553242151/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=1881381819553242151&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/1881381819553242151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/1881381819553242151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/11/harry-potter-and-growing-pains.html' title='Harry Potter and the growing pains'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TPOnoMO9PYI/AAAAAAAABzQ/XdC_X3Y2BVI/s72-c/HarryPotter1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-4838171464081912551</id><published>2010-11-29T14:22:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-29T15:26:37.107+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New York&apos;ta 5 Minare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Türk sineması'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prensesin Uykusu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film isimleri'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='if blog'/><title type='text'>Film karakterlerinin isimlerinden öğrendiğim bir şeyler var</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TPOb2_0t3_I/AAAAAAAABzI/lF4r02YzX78/s1600/firat-aziz1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TPOb2_0t3_I/AAAAAAAABzI/lF4r02YzX78/s400/firat-aziz1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544946935370997746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;İsimlerimizin kızılderililerinkiler gibi derin anlamları olması hoş  bir şey.

İki &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marilyn Monroe&lt;/span&gt; filmi şu anda yapım aşamasında. Amerikalı yazar &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Joyce Carol Oates&lt;/span&gt;’un biyografi soslu romanı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blonde&lt;/span&gt;’ın uyarlaması ve Marilyn’in 1957 yılında, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Prince and the Showgirl&lt;/span&gt; filminin çekimleri için gittiği İngiltere’deki bir haftasını anlatan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;My Week with Marilyn&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;İlk filmde Marilyn’i &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Naomi Watts&lt;/span&gt;, ikincisinde de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Brokeback Mountain&lt;/span&gt;’daki rolüyle Oscar’a aday gösterilen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Michelle Williams&lt;/span&gt; canlandırıyor. Watts’ın iyi bir Marilyn olacağını görmek için herhangi bir filmini ya da yalnızca &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mulholland Drive&lt;/span&gt;’ı izlemek yeter gibi geliyor. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peki ya Michelle Williams? Kısaca, ölümcül derecede yanlış bir seçim. İyi bir oyuncu olan Williams, oynadığı her karakteri bir şekilde yaralı, hüzünlü birine dönüştürmeyi başarıyor. Kendisini ilk gördüğümüz &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dawson’s Creek&lt;/span&gt;’de bile umursamaz ergen tiplemesini bir türlü anlaşılamayan yaralı kadına dönüştürmüş, sonunda da kanser olmuştu. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn’i canlandıracak oyuncu büyük bir paketle başa çıkmak zorunda. Bu paketin içinde &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;taze ve saf güzel, usta komedyen, seks bombası&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;intihar eğilimli bir kadın&lt;/span&gt; var. Williams’ın bir türlü aşamadığı tutukluğunu bu sefer atabildiğini varsaysak da, hayvansı bir seksapeli hangi teknikle oynayacak merak ediyoruz. Ne kadar başarılı olabileceğini görmek için yakın zamanda verdiği Marilyn pozuna bakmak yeterli. Harika bir makyajla Marilyn’e benzetilmiş, boş boş kameraya bakan bir Michelle Williams.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7595505824664909565?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7595505824664909565/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7595505824664909565&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7595505824664909565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7595505824664909565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/11/michelle-williams-neden-marilyn-olamaz.html' title='Michelle Williams neden Marilyn olamaz?'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TOuwBJEXyCI/AAAAAAAABy4/SPo4_PxdNoQ/s72-c/Michelle-Marilyn.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-7230754131514577968</id><published>2010-11-23T13:46:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-23T14:02:41.773+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New York&apos;ta 5 Minare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mahsun Kirmizigül'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Five Minarets in New York'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkish cinema'/><title type='text'>Five minarets, a few too many messages</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Once a king of arabesque, Mahsun Kırmızıgül is now continuing to flaunt his new persona as an accomplished filmmaker with his third feature. ‘New York’ta 5 Minare’ (Five Minarets in New York), written, directed and starring Kırmızıgül, tackles paranoia toward Islam with impressive cinematography and action scenes, but misses with a lack of subtlety&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TOusXxslheI/AAAAAAAAByo/wfti2rGMmkk/s1600/NYMinare2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 359px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TOusXxslheI/AAAAAAAAByo/wfti2rGMmkk/s400/NYMinare2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542713290886841826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It’s déjà vu all over for Turkish moviegoers, critics and a substantial portion of the Turkish media. Once one of the most popular names of exploitative arabesque music, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mahsun Kırmızıgül&lt;/span&gt; is continuing his new quest to position himself as a revered filmmaker despite being given the cold shoulder by the Turkish cinema establishment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Kırmızıgül’s third feature &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;New York’ta 5 Minare (Five Minarets in New York)&lt;/span&gt;, which was controversial both with its subject matter and the debate it generated in the media, hit the ground running with impressive opening box office numbers.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film, written, directed and starring Kırmızıgül, hopes to hit the right target with its subject of global Islamic paranoia and abundant messages of peace, understanding and tolerance.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film’s title is a play on a popular folk song, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Five Minarets in Bitlis&lt;/span&gt;, Bitlis being a small city in eastern Turkey, and one of the cities featured in the film alongside New York City. Kırmızıgül takes center stage with another veteran pop singer, albeit of a different style, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mustafa Sandal&lt;/span&gt;. The two play two Turkish cops that are part of an anti-terrorist unit from the opposite ends of the social spectrum. Kırmızıgül’s character’s name, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fırat Baran&lt;/span&gt;, clearly gives away his ethnicity. Fırat is the river Euphrates, which passes through southeast Turkey while Baran is a Kurdish name. Sandal plays &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Acar Aydın&lt;/span&gt; (the last name means “enlightened” or “intellectual”) and sports a goatee, speaks very good English and raises his brow at Fırat’s unorthodox style of interrogation.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two fly to New York to bring back the supposed leader of a Muslim terrorist organization, code name &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Deccal&lt;/span&gt; (Dajjal, or the Islamic version of the Antichrist). Experienced actor &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Haluk Bilginer&lt;/span&gt; plays &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hadji Gümüş&lt;/span&gt;, a respected Muslim scholar and a family man. As Hadji flees prior to flying to Istanbul, Turkish cops and FBI agents, led by the Islamophobic officer Becker, follow their own ways to bring about justice.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Patrick&lt;/span&gt; (T-1000 in the second &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Terminator&lt;/span&gt; movie) plays Agent Becker, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gina Gershon&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Showgirls&lt;/span&gt;) plays Hadji’s devoted Christian wife, and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Danny Glover&lt;/span&gt; takes on the role of the American Muslim leader, Marcus. The action scenes, cinematography, editing, and sound are on a par with Hollywood productions.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the film basically lacks, however, is subtlety. The string of messages hit the audience from every direction. The scenes where Hadji preaches on the messages of peace in Islam, the way his blissful marriage with a Christian woman is brought up, the FBI agent blaming every Muslim in the world for terrorism, and Acar’s speech on the integrity of the Turkish police is stretched to the point that it becomes a lesson for high school students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kırmızıgül still looked down upon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TOus4clCDNI/AAAAAAAAByw/LPkDADTuA7o/s1600/NYMinare1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TOus4clCDNI/AAAAAAAAByw/LPkDADTuA7o/s400/NYMinare1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542713852153695442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Kırmızıgül and Co. have not been on very good terms with Turkish film critics as his last two films were not considered by the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cinema Writers Association, or SİYAD&lt;/span&gt;, in their annual awards. His debut feature from four years ago, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Beyaz Melek (The White Angel)&lt;/span&gt;, showed a flair for a good story and was unexpected given Kırmızıgül’s background as a singer. The film had its shortcomings, but pleased a wide range of moviegoers and even some critics.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year’s box office success, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Güneşi Gördüm&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(I Saw the Sun)&lt;/span&gt;, showed that Kırmızıgül had further mastered his craft. Taking a brutal look at the Kurdish problem in Turkey, the film was one of the best of the year despite too many sub-plots and the familiar lack of subtlety when it came to giving messages.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passive-aggressive and indifferent attitude of the film critics must have annoyed Kırmızıgül as he decided to cancel the press screenings scheduled in Istanbul and Ankara on Nov. 1 in what seemed like yet another message.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The silent war between the filmmaker and the critics was made even clearer when one of the country’s biggest movie magazines, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sinema&lt;/span&gt;, barely lent a page to the movie and Kırmızıgül. Sinema magazine is known for promoting Turkish cinema, allocating most of its pages to interviews with Turkish filmmakers and giving detailed information on Turkish films.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems Kırmızıgül is still the singer looked down upon by those with a supposedly more “refined taste.” He might need to continue wearing the label for a while yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Published in &lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=five-minarets-a-few-too-many-messages-2010-11-11" target="_blank"&gt;Hürriyet Daily News&lt;/a&gt; on 12 Nov. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-7230754131514577968?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/7230754131514577968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=7230754131514577968&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7230754131514577968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/7230754131514577968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/11/five-minarets-few-too-many-messages.html' title='Five minarets, a few too many messages'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TOusXxslheI/AAAAAAAAByo/wfti2rGMmkk/s72-c/NYMinare2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-6669254906958852148</id><published>2010-11-11T12:01:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-11T12:16:14.934+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dog Whisperer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cesar Millan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TV'/><title type='text'>Köpek sahiplerine fısıldayan adam</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Kendini ‘köpek psikoloğu’ olarak tanımlayan Cesar Millan, realite dizisi ‘Dog Whisperer’da arızalı köpekleri rehabilite ediyor, sahiplerine de sıkı bir eğitim veriyor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNvA-5L37YI/AAAAAAAAByY/uNYVv8TxXSc/s1600/dog-whisperer-cesar-millan1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 349px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNvA-5L37YI/AAAAAAAAByY/uNYVv8TxXSc/s400/dog-whisperer-cesar-millan1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538232353517202818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Köpek olduğunu bir türlü kabul etmeyen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Snoopy ‘Köpeklere fısıldayan adam’ Cesar Millan&lt;/span&gt;’la tanışmış olsaydı, dünyanın en sıkıcı çizgi karakterlerinden birine dönüşebilirdi. Realite dizisi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dog Whisperer&lt;/span&gt;’a konuk olan sorunlu köpekleri rehabilite etmek için Amerika’yı köşe bucak dolaşan Millan’a göre en büyük sorun köpeklerin köpekliklerinden uzaklaştırılması.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amerika’da yedi sezondur devam eden &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dog Whisperer&lt;/span&gt;, bir süredir burada da kulaktan kulağa kendi sadık izleyici sayısını çoğaltarak, köpek sahiplerine sohbet konusu yaratmış durumda. Belki de köpek sahiplerinden çok, komşularının ilgi göstermesi gereken bir dizi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dog Whisperer&lt;/span&gt;. Köpeklerinin sorununun çözülmesi için son çare Millan’a baş vuran kişilerin bir çoğu komşularıyla kavgalı, hatta bir kısmı mahkemelik.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Durmadan havlayan, bisikletlilere saldıran, bahçelerine adım atanların ayaklarını ısıran köpekler, Millan’ın müşterilerinden bazıları. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Tanrı’nın ve benim ortak hedefimiz, dünyayı köpeklerin yardımıyla dönüştürmek,”&lt;/span&gt; gibi büyük bir iddiası olan Millan’ın kibrini sonuna kadar hak ettiğini söyleyebiliriz. Veteriner ve köpek eğitmenlerinin çare bulamayıp uyutulmasına karar verdikleri nevrotik köpeklerin, Millan’ın sihirli iletişimiyle birkaç dakikada nasıl pamuğa döndüğünü izlemek gerekiyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Sürünün lideri olmak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cesar Millan&lt;/span&gt; kendini bir köpek eğitmeninden çok köpek psikoloğu olarak görüyor. Onun için önemli olan köpek ve sahibi arasındaki ilişki. “Köpekleri rehabilite ediyor, sahiplerini de eğitiyorum,” diyor ve hayvanın arızasının hemen her zaman sahibinin yanlış davranışından ortaya çıktığını ve kronikleştiğini gösteriyor.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Köpeklere insan gibi davranılması, Millan’a göre sahiplerin yaptığı en büyük hata. Köpeklerin özünde kurt olduğunu ve beraber yaşadıkları insanları sürüleri olarak algıladıklarını sürekli hatırlatıyor. Sahibin yapması gereken ise, bir oda arkadaşı değil sürü lideri olduğunu köpeğine göstermek. Sakin, kendine güvenen ve taviz vermeyen bir lider olduğunuz sürece sorun yok. Millan’ın sorunlu köpeklerle ilk yaptığı da bu. Evine konuk olduğu köpeklerle birkaç dakikalığına yürüyüşe çıkan Millan, öncelikle baş başa kaldığı hayvana lider olduğunu hissetiriyor. Sonrasında da, sorunlu davranışı kendi istediği şekilde ortadan kaldırıyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Cesar Millan’ın şaşmaz terapileriyle ilgilenenler arasında, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Will Smith&lt;/span&gt; ve karısı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jada Pinkett Smith&lt;/span&gt; ile &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oprah&lt;/span&gt; gibi ünlü isimler de bulunuyor. Sayısız köpek sahibinin hayır duasını alan Millan genelde tek başına çalışıyor. Yardıma gereksinimi olduğu zaman da, karısını ve iki oğlunu çağırıyor. Her türlü tekerlekten nefret eden bir köpeği yürüyüşe çıkardığında yanlarından geçen kaykaylı ve bisikletli konu mankenleri çocukları oluyor. Karısı ise kızgın komşudan, köpek kuaförüne her türlü role soyunuyor. Millan’ın ergen oğullarının babalarına saygı duymaları ise &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;South Park&lt;/span&gt;’ın bir bölümünde &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eric Cartman&lt;/span&gt;’ı rehabilite etmesinden sonra oluyor. İki &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Emmy&lt;/span&gt; adaylığı olan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dog Whisperer&lt;/span&gt; dizisinin yıldızı fire vermeyen başarılarını tek bir cümleyle özetliyor: “Bir köpekle beraberken her zaman köpek gibi düşünmeniz gerekiyor.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Salı akşamları 9.00’da National Geographic’de&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cesar Millan’dan tavsiyeler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNvBYpQkCFI/AAAAAAAAByg/zUO0r33p4z0/s1600/DogW1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNvBYpQkCFI/AAAAAAAAByg/zUO0r33p4z0/s400/DogW1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538232795918501970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Köpekle ilk tanıştığınızda ona dokunmayın, onunla konuşmayın ve göz teması kurmayın. Bırakın, önce köpek sizi tanısın. Köpeğin size yaklaşması, onun güvenini ve saygısını kazanmak için büyük bir adım demek.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Köpeğinizi insanlaştırmayın.

Köpeğinizi ilgiye boğmayın. Otorite figürü olduğunuzu göstermeyi ihmal etmeyin. Şunu da unutmayın, disiplin cezalandırma anlamına gelmiyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Köpeğinizi evinizin enerjisine göre seçin. Yaşam tarzınız hareketli mi uyuşuk mu, ona göre köpeğinizin cinsini belirleyin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Köpek gezintilerinizi büyük bir olay ya da ödüle dönüştürüp, köpeğinizi heyecanlandırmayın.

Kocasının ölümünden sonra, alışık olduğu banliyö hayatını devam ettirebilmek için mahalle sakinlerine esrar satmaya başlayan Nancy, altı senede çocuklarını da içine bulaştırdığı bir uyuşturucu baronesine dönüşür. Bu süreçte o kadar çok düşman edinir ki, yeni bir kimlikle Nathalie Newman olarak hayatına devam etmeye başlar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Suç ortağı kim?&lt;/span&gt; Genişliğin ve vurdumduymazlığın kitabını yazan kayınbiraderi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Andy&lt;/span&gt;. Bir zamanlar Nancy sorumlu, Andy sorumsuz bir karakterken, şimdi durum tam tersi. Sherlock Holmes ve Doktor Watson’dan beri en iyi ikili.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ne demiş?&lt;/span&gt; “Bana banliyönün tomurcuk baronesi diyebilirsiniz.”&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ne kadar aykırı?&lt;/span&gt; Önceleri çaresizlikten uyuşturucu işine girdiğini düşünüyorduk ama altı senede gördük ki, Nancy için sınırları zorlamak hakiki adrenalin kaynağı. Çocuklarına verdiği normal aile olma sözünü mütemadiyen bozan, ‘cool’ sözcüğü onun için yaratılmış hissi veren Nancy’nin tek yapmayacağı şey reşit olmayanlara uyuşturucu satmak. ‘Weeds’ birkaç sezon daha devam ederse, onu da yapacağından şüphemiz yok.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Jackie Peyton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNu9fg4gkSI/AAAAAAAAByQ/-I0OkLs28_g/s1600/nurse_jackie_101_1148.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNu9fg4gkSI/AAAAAAAAByQ/-I0OkLs28_g/s400/nurse_jackie_101_1148.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538228515882701090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hangi dizi?&lt;/span&gt; Nurse Jackie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kim oynuyor?&lt;/span&gt; Edie Falco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kısaca tanıyalım:&lt;/span&gt; TV’de uzun süredir bu kadar uçlarda dolaşan bir kadın karakter görmemiş olabiliriz. Mükemmel bir hemşire olan Jackie hastalarla anında sıcak bir ilişki geliştirebilirken iş arkadaşlarına karşı tam bir cadı. Aşık olduğu bir kocası ve iki kızıyla harika bir aile hayatı varken, bir yandan da çalıştığı hastanedekilere ailesi olduğunu söylemiyor.

Kocasını evden kovar, evinin avuç içi kadar bahçesine havuz inşa ettirmeye karar verir, öğrencilerinden birini kurtarmayı misyon edinir. Hastalığını şimdilik kendine saklamaya karar veren Cathy, önündeki kısa zamanını içinden geldiği gibi yaşamaya kararlı.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Suç ortağı kim?&lt;/span&gt; Yaşlı ve aksi komşusu &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marlene&lt;/span&gt;. Hasta olduğunu öğrenene kadar karşı komşusunun kim olduğunun bile farkında olmayan Cathy, algıları açılınca Marlene’in varlığını da fark eder. Doktoru dışında kanser olduğunu bilen tek kişi, bu yeni arkadaşı (bir de Marlene’in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;köpeği Thomas&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ne demiş?&lt;/span&gt; “Öfke bana harika geliyor.”&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ne kadar aykırı?&lt;/span&gt; Nancy ve Jackie kadar sınırları zorlamasa da, Cathy’yi günlük hayat anarşisti olarak kabul etmek gerekiyor. Daha önce alışık olmadığı bir şekilde içinden geldiği gibi davranmaya başlayan Cathy, bahçesinde çıplak güneşleniyor, giysileriyle havuza atlıyor, tüm emeklilik ikramiyesini bankadan çekip kendine lüks araba alıyor. Bunların hepsini, aklına düşmesinden birkaç dakika sonra gerçekleştiriyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Cumartesi gecelerinin ‘Aykırı kadınları’ Comedymax’de.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;The Big C – 22.30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Weeds – 23.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Nurse Jackie – 23.30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6 Kasım 2010'da Radikal'de yayımlandı.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-2413938858301176692?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/2413938858301176692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=2413938858301176692&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2413938858301176692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/2413938858301176692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/11/cumartesilerin-aykr-kadnlar-peki.html' title='Cumartesilerin aykırı kadınları.

İki yıl sonra, bir kez daha feminizmin gidişatını kapak konusu yapan Time, bir kez daha bir TV dizisinden ilham alıyor. “Kimin kocaya ihtiyacı var?” başlığının altına pop kültürü yeni fethetmeye başlayan dört kadının fotoğrafını uygun görüyor: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte ve Miranda&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yönünü şaşırmış beyazperde maceralarıyla eski günlerini aratan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/span&gt; kadınları, 1990’ların sonunda bir yandan fazlasıyla tanıdık, diğer yandan hiç alışılmadık bir pop kültür olayı olarak hayatımıza düşüyorlar. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/span&gt;’ye ilk başlarda uçlarda tepki vermemek mümkün değil. TV izleyicileri, TV eleştirmenleri, kadınlar, erkekler, feministler, herkes ikiye bölünüyor. Kimisi mesajı doğru bulmuyor, kimisi mesaj olmadığını savunuyor, mesajı takmayanlar da kadınların penis boyu ve erken boşalma sohbetlerini hafif bir gülümsemeyle izliyor.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cinsel özgürlük, kadın cinselliği, kocaya ne kadar gerek var tartışmalarının ateşi sönünce dizinin belkemiğinin seksten ve seks sohbetinden çok daha öte bir şey olduğu da netleşiyor. Bizi çeken şeyin, dizinin itici gücünün kadın arkadaşlığı ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Carrie&lt;/span&gt;’nin de dediği gibi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“kahve, yumurta ve sıkı bir dedikodudan oluşan cumartesi sabahı ritüeli,”&lt;/span&gt; yani arkadaş sohbeti olduğunu görüyoruz. Carrie ve arkadaşlarının erkek egemen düzene karşı silahları, ilk sandığımız gibi, erkeklere gülmek değil. Kadınlarla beraber gülmek.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Samantha’dan önce Blanche vardı&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNGXoQ4alhI/AAAAAAAABxk/L5nZvPqJvV4/s1600/golden-girls.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 261px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNGXoQ4alhI/AAAAAAAABxk/L5nZvPqJvV4/s400/golden-girls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535372134997202450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Charlotte&lt;/span&gt;, geleneksel brunch’larından birinde kadınlara, “Neden birbirimizin hayat arkadaşları olmayalım?” dediğinde dizinin de çıkış noktasını tanımlıyor. Gerçek ailelerini hiç bir zaman görmediğimiz bu dört kadın, şehir denilen jungle’da kendilerine cinsel özgürlükle süslenmiş, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;alternatif bir aile&lt;/span&gt; yaratıyorlar.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tabii ki de bu aile bir yerlerden bize tanıdık geliyor. Sohbetin seks ve erkek dozunu azaltıp, gardropları rüküşleştirip ve de dünyaya daha az şüpheci yaklaşan bir bakış açısı eklediğimizde, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/span&gt;’den on yıl önce &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Altın Kızlar&lt;/span&gt;’ın bu alternatif aile modelini ekranlarımıza taşıdığını hatırlayabiliriz. Libidosuyla her daim barışık &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blanche&lt;/span&gt;, saflığından taviz vermeyen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rose&lt;/span&gt;, emekli öğretmen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dorothy&lt;/span&gt; ve Dorothy’nin sivri dilli annesi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sophia&lt;/span&gt;, kadın arkadaşlardan oluşan bu yeni ailenin belki de televizyondaki ilk temsilcileriydi.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Altın Kızlar&lt;/span&gt; ana karakterlerine hala aktif aşk ve seks hayatları verip, onları yaşadıkları çağa uydurarak, orta yaşı geride bırakmış kadın tiplemesine de taze hayat veriyordu. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/span&gt; kadınlarına benzer bir şekilde, modern hayatın çiftleşme oyunlarından bunalan bu kadınların ve bu dizinin neden bizi sarıp sarmaladığı ise jenerik şarkısında her hafta bir kez daha hatırlatılıyordu: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;‘Thank you for being a friend.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TV’de kadın arkadaşlığının çeşitlemeleri daha sonra &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lipstick Jungle, Cashmere Mafia&lt;/span&gt; ya da &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Women’s Murder Club&lt;/span&gt; gibi dizilerde karşımıza çıksa da, devaraldığı tacın hakkın verebilen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wisteria Lane&lt;/span&gt;’in komşu kadınları oldu. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/span&gt;’nin bittiği sene başlayan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Desperate Housewives&lt;/span&gt;’ın dört komşu kadınının birbirlerine karşı samimiyetlerine ilk başlarda şüphe duymuş olsak da, Amerikan banliyö yaşamının ve sabırsız TV izleyicisinin testlerini geçerek, kendi steril sokaklarında bir koza yaratmayı sonunda başardılar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;30 Ekim 2010'da Radikal'de yayımlandı.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-4502786608206521044?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/4502786608206521044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=4502786608206521044&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4502786608206521044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4502786608206521044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/11/tvde-altn-kz-formulu.html' title='TV&apos;de &apos;Altın Kız&apos; formülü'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TNGXLLm8ORI/AAAAAAAABxc/K9C5w3X_BpE/s72-c/SexCity-Time.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-450081704150357545</id><published>2010-10-29T12:53:00.011+03:00</published><updated>2010-10-29T13:26:53.389+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Big C'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='No Ordinary Family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TV'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Raising Hope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Boardwalk Empire'/><title type='text'>Yeni sezon geldi, hangi diziye başlayalım?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Amerika’da görücüye çıkan yeni dizilerin kimi televizyon mezarlığına yolculuklarına, kimi de sonraki sezonları garantileyen sadık izleyicilere sahip olmaya başladı bile.

Amerika’da &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;yeni televizyon sezonu&lt;/span&gt; demek, çiçeği burnunda dizilerin aylar öncesinden kendilerini tanıtmaya başlamaları, izleyicinin çoktan listesini hazırlamış olması demek. Burada ise durum biraz daha farklı. Yeni dizileri el yordamıyla keşfetmemiz gerekiyor. Bu sezon Amerika’da başlayan, kimi birkaç bölüm oynamış, kimi sezon sonuna yaklaşan, izleyiciyi giderek içine çeken beş diziye göz atalım.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Boardwalk Empire&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqcUx2gmwI/AAAAAAAABvI/exxb_5XkWSU/s1600/Boardwalk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqcUx2gmwI/AAAAAAAABvI/exxb_5XkWSU/s400/Boardwalk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533406972971358978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Televizyonun sinemanın tahtına oynadığı yeni yüzyılda, büyük oyunculardan sonra büyük yönetmenler de hünerlerini beyazperdeden HD ekranlara taşımaya başladılar. Organize suç ve mafya dünyasından inanılmaz öyküler çıkaran &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Martin Scorsese&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Boardwalk Empire&lt;/span&gt;’da yapımcılıktan ilk bölümün yönetmenliğine, oyuncu seçiminden kurgusuna, dizinin arkasındaki isim olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Tarih: Amerika’da İçki Yasağı Dönemi’nin başladığı 1920. Yer: Kumarhaneleri, yeraltında filizlenen içki ticareti ve meşhur tahta kaldırımlarıyla (boardwalk) ünlü Atlantic City. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Steve Buscemi&lt;/span&gt;, 30 yıl bu şehri kontrol altında tutmuş, yolsuzluğun tarihini yazmış politikacı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nucky Johnson&lt;/span&gt;’ı (dizide &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nucky Thompson&lt;/span&gt; olarak geçiyor) canlandırıyor. Bizler de mafyanın bu karanlıktan nasıl doğduğuna tanık oluyoruz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi iyi?&lt;/span&gt; Mafya, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Martin Scorsese&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Sopranos&lt;/span&gt;’un beyinlerinden &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Terence Winter&lt;/span&gt; bir arada. Başka söze gerek yok herhalde.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi kötü?&lt;/span&gt; İlk bölümde dizinin temposu ve karakterler tam oturmuyor. Çok boyutlu karakterleri ve diziyi sürükleyecek öyküyü görmek için 3. bölümü beklemek gerekiyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bunları seviyorsanız kaçırmayın:&lt;/span&gt; The Sopranos, The Wire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;The Big C&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqcuQBweFI/AAAAAAAABvQ/DYUcA_K6l5A/s1600/TheBigC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqcuQBweFI/AAAAAAAABvQ/DYUcA_K6l5A/s400/TheBigC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533407410568329298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Weeds&lt;/span&gt; dizisini hayatımıza sokan Amerikan kablo kanalı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Showtime&lt;/span&gt;, bir başka umutsuz ev kadınını sıradışı anlatımıyla ekranlarımıza getiriyor. Muhteşem &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Laura Linney&lt;/span&gt;’nin canlandırdığı lise öğretmeni, kasıntı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cathy&lt;/span&gt; kanser olduğunu öğreniyor. Bunu yakınlarıyla paylaşmak yerine, hayatını özgürleştirmeyi ve yepyeni bir yaşam biçimine geçiş yapmayı tercih ediyor. Evinin önüne bir havuz yapmaya karar veriyor, bahçesinde çıplak güneşleniyor ve çevresindekilere ikinci bir şans tanımanın keyfini yaşıyor. Bu arada da, iyi niyetli kocası (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oliver Platt&lt;/span&gt;) ve ergen oğlu, yeni Cathy’yi anlamaya çalışmakla gıcık kapmak arasında gidip geliyorlar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi iyi? Laura Linney, Oliver Platt&lt;/span&gt;, Precious’un tombul yıldızı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gabourey Sidibe&lt;/span&gt; ve bir dolu yan karakterin harika oyunculukları dizinin aksaklıklarını götürüyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi kötü?&lt;/span&gt; Kanser konusu ve Cathy’e ne olacağı sorusu, kimi zaman izleyicinin içini sıkıp, tadını kaçırabiliyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bunları seviyorsanız kaçırmayın:&lt;/span&gt; Weeds, Nurse Jackie, Saving Grace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;The Event&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqdiuSzi2I/AAAAAAAABvY/wSWyz0PdaVw/s1600/TheEvent.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqdiuSzi2I/AAAAAAAABvY/wSWyz0PdaVw/s400/TheEvent.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533408312046095202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bir sonraki &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt;’u bulma çabalarının o kadar da kolay olmadığını geçen senenin hayal kırıklığı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FlashForward&lt;/span&gt;’la yakından gördük. Dallanıp budaklanan mitolojiler, zamanda gidip gelmeler ve çetrefilli karakter bağlantıları, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost&lt;/span&gt;’un yerine geçecek dizi için gerekli formüller olarak &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Event&lt;/span&gt;’de karşımıza çıkıyor. Dizide şimdiki zaman ve geri dönüşlerle anlatılan üç ayrı öykü, giderek büyüyen bir gizemin parçalarını oluşturuyor. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sean (Jason Ritter)&lt;/span&gt; kaçırılan kız arkadaşını arıyor. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amerikan Başkanı (Blair Underwood)&lt;/span&gt;, derin devletin bu dünyadan olmayan bir grup insanı 60 yıldır hapis tuttuklarını öğreniyor. Ve de, insana benzeyen bu uzaylıların kendi içlerinde karmaşık güç dinamikleri olduğunu öğreniyoruz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi iyi?&lt;/span&gt; Sean rolündeki &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jason Ritter&lt;/span&gt;, hem kararlı hem tedirgin sıradan insan tiplemesiyle, uzun süredir en yakın hissettiğimiz kahraman olarak izleyiciyi anında diziye çekiyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi kötü?&lt;/span&gt; Reytinglere göre şekillenen ve anında infazı istenebilen Amerikan dizilerinde, sonunun gelip gelmeyeceğine emin olamadığımız bir gizeme yatırım yapmak riskli.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bunları seviyorsanız kaçırmayın:&lt;/span&gt; 24, V, FlashForward&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Raising Hope&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqemUcdo7I/AAAAAAAABvo/lU19Ca3BrkQ/s1600/RaisingHope.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqemUcdo7I/AAAAAAAABvo/lU19Ca3BrkQ/s400/RaisingHope.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533409473338385330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bir süredir animasyonlara ve karanlık dizilere hapsolmuş arızalı çekirdek aile yeni sezonun en iyi komedi dizisiyle ekranlarımıza dönüş yapıyor. Dizinin adındaki &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hope&lt;/span&gt; bir bebeğin adı. Hayatta hiç bir amacı olmayan 23 yaşındaki Jimmy, bir sabah baba olduğunu öğreniyor. Bebek bir şekilde &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jimmy ve ailesiyle&lt;/span&gt; yaşamak zorunda kalıyor. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Raising Hope&lt;/span&gt;, Amerikalıların &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;‘beyaz çöp’&lt;/span&gt; adını uygun gördükleri alt sınıfın altı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chance ailesinin&lt;/span&gt; kendilerini bile idare edemezken, nasıl bir bebekle başa çıktıklarını anlatıyor. Sigarasından taviz vermeyen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;anne (Martha Plimpton)&lt;/span&gt;, hiç bir işe yaramayan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;baba (Garret Dillahunt)&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;bunak anneanne (Cloris Leachman)&lt;/span&gt;, evlerinde bir bebeğin sağ kalmasını olabildiğince zorlaştırıyorlar. Dizinin yaratıcısı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Greg Garcia&lt;/span&gt;’nın (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;My Name is Earl&lt;/span&gt;) mazlumları sempati duyduğumuz karakterlere dönüştürmedeki ustalığını hatırlayalım. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi iyi?&lt;/span&gt; Bir bebekle beraber yaşamanın zorluklarını kolaya kaçmadan (Bkz. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Üç Adam ve Bir Bebek&lt;/span&gt;), zeki ve komik bir şekilde anlatmayı başarıyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nesi kötü?&lt;/span&gt; Günlük hayatın komikliklerinden ara sıra uzaklaşıp, bir bebek büyütmenin sorumluluklarına daha fazla önem verip, karakterleri derinleştirmesi gerekiyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bunları seviyorsanız kaçırmayın:&lt;/span&gt; Weeds, The Middle, The Simpsons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;No Ordinary Family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqewbqL_jI/AAAAAAAABvw/x2Y1tu0LKO4/s1600/NoOrdinaryFamily.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 236px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqewbqL_jI/AAAAAAAABvw/x2Y1tu0LKO4/s400/NoOrdinaryFamily.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533409647073689138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Evliliklerini ayakta tutmakta zorlanan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Powell çifti&lt;/span&gt; ve ergenlik çağındaki iki çocuklarını taşıyan pırpır Amazon Nehri’ne düşer ve ailenin her bir üyesi ayrı birer süper güç geliştirir. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Baba Jim&lt;/span&gt;, uçamasa da bir binadan diğerine zıplamaya, kurşunları eliyle tutabilmeye başlar. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Anne Stephanie&lt;/span&gt;, saniyede 4 km koşan bir süperanne olur. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daphne&lt;/span&gt; çevresindekilerin düşüncelerini okumaya başlar, zekası çok parlak olmayan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;JJ&lt;/span&gt; ise karmaşık matematik problemlerini çözebilen bir dehaya dönüşür.

Sadly, Tarkan Özel’s film fails to depict how a naïve young girl became the empire’s leading power&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqWmEQl17I/AAAAAAAABuw/dQm9rpQZL-s/s1600/Mahpeyker-Selda.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqWmEQl17I/AAAAAAAABuw/dQm9rpQZL-s/s400/Mahpeyker-Selda.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533400672900601778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div  id="printReady" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Director &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tarkan Özel&lt;/span&gt;’s debut feature, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mahpeyker&lt;/span&gt;, is an ambitious &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;biopic of Kösem Sultan&lt;/span&gt;, the woman who left  her mark on the Ottoman Empire for half-a-century and was a true force  of nature in the first half of the 17th century.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Sadly, by the time &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Selda Alkor&lt;/span&gt;, the actress playing Kösem Sultan,  utters in her regal voice the strongwoman’s immortal words, “I have  chosen to let my poison out into the palace, and give my milk to my  people,” you have already lost interest in the story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Mahpeyker means “moon-shaped” – it was the name given to her at age  15 when she was captured and brought to Istanbul, to the harem of Sultan  Ahmed I. Four centuries ago, comparing someone’s face to the full moon  was not an implication that one was calling her chubby but a compliment  emphasizing her beauty. The more popular, well-known name Kösem was  given to her later by Ahmed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;As the older Kösem Sultan reminisces about her first days in the  palace, how she was manipulated and shoved around by the older women in  power, the story alternates to the later years of her reign and power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Sultan Ahmed falls for the young concubine Mahpeyker, leading him to  marry this moon-faced beauty. For reasons unclear in the movie, Sultan’s  mother and grandmother do not think of Mahpeyker as a suitable  candidate for Ahmed’s consort. They send her off for an education that  never seems to end. And when Ahmed later finds out about the schemes of  his mother and grandmother to distance his favorite concubine from him,  he takes charge and reunites with Mahpeyker, leading toward her  transformation into Kösem. The story of Ahmed and Kösem eventually goes  down in history as one of the greatest imperial love stories of the  Ottoman palace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt; From concubine to queen mother&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqW9tf2k8I/AAAAAAAABu4/HiXtzF26L1E/s1600/Mahpeyker-Damla.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqW9tf2k8I/AAAAAAAABu4/HiXtzF26L1E/s400/Mahpeyker-Damla.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533401079107457986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;When Ahmed dies at 28, Kösem’s education pays off, helping her to  become an influential and undefeatable force in the palace. She pulls  the strings in the Ottoman reign, first through her sons Murad IV and  İbrahim (the Mad) I, and later through her grandson Mehmed IV, all who  reigned as Ottoman sultans. She becomes the much-feared Valide Sultan  (queen mother) for nearly three decades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Women had enormous power in the imperial palace during the Ottoman  Empire. But it was Kösem Sultan who formally became the first regent. It  is fair to say that she practically ran the empire during the reign of  Murad IV, continuing to attend the divan (Cabinet) meetings behind a  curtain long after her position as a regent was over. Later, İbrahim’s  mental instability – hence the title “Mad” – helped Kösem Sultan to  cement her strong role in the palace. Her second formal regency came  after Ibrahim, when her seven-year-old grandson Mehmed IV became the  Sultan. This lasted for just three years; Kösem Sultan’s end came yet  from another powerful woman in the palace, Mehmed’s mother, Turhan  Hatice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In the film, Kösem Sultan is played by two actresses. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Damla Özcan&lt;/span&gt;  plays her in her younger years when she was just a novice concubine in  the harem while the ever-regal Alkor plays her in her older years.  Özcan’s portrayal of a young and confused Mahpeyker is in stark contrast  to the power-crazy Kösem of decades later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt; Film fails to provide a fresh take&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqXFFKHMvI/AAAAAAAABvA/eZFG1yZiPkA/s1600/Mahpeyker-Ahmed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqXFFKHMvI/AAAAAAAABvA/eZFG1yZiPkA/s400/Mahpeyker-Ahmed.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533401205717807858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;While showing a young and vulnerable Kösem is a fresh take on a  figure remembered in history and pop culture only through her  hard-shelled persona of later years, it still fails to show how such a  fresh-faced girl transformed into such a grand regal presence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;There are also some crucial details overlooked or misrepresented in  the movie. It is never mentioned, for instance, that Kösem was of Greek  origin and that she was the daughter of a priest. And her death becomes a  true product of fiction, distorting the official historical records.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mahpeyker&lt;/span&gt; hopes to give a multi-dimensional, never-before-seen  portrayal of a figure often misrepresented. But sadly, it turns into a  film showing a naïve young girl turning into a monster of a woman fond  of power games.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Not many people know that Kösem Sultan was also renowned for her  close involvement in charity work, that she freed her slaves after three  years of service and that when she died she was mourned for three days  in Istanbul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;There is hardly any hint of that persona in the movie and it just goes further to reinforce the devious queen mother image.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Originally published in &lt;a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=biopic-brings-nothing-new-to-ottoman-queen-mother-2010-10-22" target="_blank"&gt;Hürriyet Daily News&lt;/a&gt; on 22 October 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-4208817313011570971?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/4208817313011570971/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=4208817313011570971&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4208817313011570971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/4208817313011570971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/10/mahpeyker-turkish-biopic-brings-nothing.html' title='Mahpeyker: Turkish biopic brings nothing new to Ottoman queen mother'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TMqWmEQl17I/AAAAAAAABuw/dQm9rpQZL-s/s72-c/Mahpeyker-Selda.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-5870019444880491773</id><published>2010-07-07T00:01:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2010-07-07T00:27:41.623+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vampir'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Twilight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emrah Guler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eclipse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Twilight Saga'/><title type='text'>Eclipse: Tutuk vampirler destanı</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Televizyonu mezarlığa dönüştüren onlarca vampirin arasında, çağımızın en sıkıcı vamprileri bir kez daha beyazperdeden genç kızlar ve annelerine göz kırpıyorlar. ‘Twilight’ serisinin ikinci film ‘New Moon’la hemen hemen aynı öyküye sahip ‘Eclipse’de karakterler büyüyor ama malesef daha sığ ve daha sıkıcı karakterlere dönüşüyorlar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TDOdbGL5edI/AAAAAAAABs8/-TuTsKZ8ADI/s1600/trio-house-eclipse.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TDOdbGL5edI/AAAAAAAABs8/-TuTsKZ8ADI/s400/trio-house-eclipse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490905459537312210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Kafası karışık ergen kızlar, ergen kızların anneleri, ergen kız annesi olacak yaşı çoktan geçmiş bekar kadınlar, romantik aşkın kaybolmasına iç geçirenler, cinsiyet rollerinin karmaşıklığına kafa yoranlar, doğaüstünün iyi bir metafor olduğuna yürekten inananlar.

Filmde, bir an önce vampir olmak isteyen Bella’nın bu talebi, sevgilisi Edward tarafından sürekli reddedilirken, kötü vampirler de Bella’ya diş biliyorlardı.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eclipse&lt;/span&gt;’de ise konu olarak değişen çok az şey var. Yalnızca gençlerimiz biraz daha büyümüş oldukları için (Edward, 105 yaşını tamamlıyor) hormonlar farklı çalışmaya başlıyor. Bella bir an önce sevgilisiyle seks yapmak istiyor, Jacob kurtoğlandan kurtadama geçmenin verdiği özgüvenle taleplerini daha net bir şekilde ifade ediyor, Edward ise ağlak gözleriyle tüm bu durumu bir kez daha uzaktan izlemeyi tercih ediyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hali hazırda banko bir izleyici kitlesi olan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Twilight&lt;/span&gt; serisi, üçüncü filmle yepyeni bir pazarı da girdabına çekmeye çalışıyor: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Erkekler&lt;/span&gt;. Filmde, tutuk aşk üçgeni kadar filmin son bölümüne hakim olan büyük savaşın, savaşa hazırlığın da büyük önemi var. Giderek daha ustalaşan aksiyon sahneleriyle &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eclipse&lt;/span&gt;, ergen kızların erkek arkadaşlarının da utanmadan sinema salonlarına girebilmelerini hedefliyor. Neredeyse her iğreti aşk sahnesini, kanlı bir çatışma sahnesi takip ediyor. Oyuncular &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pattinson&lt;/span&gt; ve &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lautner&lt;/span&gt;’ın röportajlarında tekrarladıkları, filmin daha tehlikeli, daha aksiyona yönelik olduğu beyanatları da, büyük bir olasılıkla bu pazarlama stratejisinin bir parçası oluyor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eclipse&lt;/span&gt;, Bella ve sınıf arkadaşlarının mezuniyet gerginlikleriyle başlıyor. Kısa bir süre sonra, mezuniyetin bir dolu şeyin acemi metaforu olduğunu görüyoruz. Bella vampir olmak için giderek daha fazla direnirken, bakire bir insan olarak ölmek istemediğini de gayet net bir şekilde Edward’a söylüyor. Edward ise, ‘eski kafalı’ bir vampir olarak, ‘evlenmeden olmaz’ diyor. Bu bakış açısını ne Bella, ne de izleyici anlıyor, gene de genç kızların sinema salonunda iç geçirmelerine engel olamıyor.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bella, ‘Gossip Girl’e transfer oluyor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TDOfjLnrIlI/AAAAAAAABtM/mRXLJGAlLC0/s1600/Eclipse-TruBlood.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 278px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TDOfjLnrIlI/AAAAAAAABtM/mRXLJGAlLC0/s400/Eclipse-TruBlood.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490907797458199122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Daha önceki filmlerde Bella’nın vampir olma talebi ve Edward’ın bunu reddetmesi bekaret, seksten uzak durma gibi muhafazakar cinsel yaptırımlara (ya da ‘yaptırmamlara’) gönderme olarak karşımıza çıkarken, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eclipse&lt;/span&gt;’de romanların yazarı &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Stephenie Meyer&lt;/span&gt; ve senarist &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Melissa Rosenberg&lt;/span&gt; alenen taleplerinin bu yönde olduklarını söylüyorlar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;İlk iki filmde daha cesur, daha sıradışı ve kadın kimliğini ezdirmemeye niyetli Bella, bu filmde tamamen farklı bir role bürünüyor. Bir yandan iki erkeğe aynı anda göz kırparken, bir yandan da iki erkeğin birbirlerine düşmesine ortam hazırlayıp, aradan çekilerek, pasif bir karaktere dönüşüyor. ‘Cool’ Bella, ‘Tutulma’da alışık olduğumuz manipülatif bir ergen kıza dönüşüyor.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eclipse&lt;/span&gt;’in tutuk bir başka yanı da, Edward, Rosalie ve Jasper gibi vampirlerin sürekli Bella’ya vampir olmanın ne kadar kötü olduğuna ikna etmeye çalışmaları. Filmlerin sıkıcı insanları ve ilkel şartlarda yaşayan kurtadamlarıyla karşılaştırıldığında, mutlu ve refah içinde yaşayan vampirlerin bu kadar kurban edebiyatı yapmaların tek bir nedeni olabileceği geliyor aklımıza. Cullen vampirlerinin dertlerinin vampirlikle değil de, bilmiş bir ergeni aralarına katmanın tedirginliğiyle ilgili olduğu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Zayıf karakterleri, kör göze parmak metaforları, sıkıcı öyküleriyle &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Twilight&lt;/span&gt; kitapları çarpık ruhlarını filmlere de yansıtıyor. Seksi vampirler, yetişkin insan-vampir ilişkileri, inceden inceye içinizi saran varoluş bunalımları, sızlanmaktan çok eğlenmeyi tercih eden karakterler ilginiz çekiyorsa, 3. sezonuna yeni başlayan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;True Blood&lt;/span&gt; dizisine bir göz gezdirin. Sookie’nin Bella’yı, Eric’in Edward’ı iç çamaşırında çalkalayacağını görmek, içinizi rahatlatabilir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4 Temmuz 2010'da Akşam Pazar'da yayımlandı&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-5870019444880491773?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/5870019444880491773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=5870019444880491773&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5870019444880491773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/5870019444880491773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/07/eclipse-tutuk-vampirler-destan.html' title='Eclipse: Tutuk vampirler destanı'/><author><name>Popdater</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14723696518087930932</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/S3kAMt9eRbI/AAAAAAAABKs/5pZ-5qM8uEE/S220/snoopy-typing-small2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gq_E81D6rC4/TDOdbGL5edI/AAAAAAAABs8/-TuTsKZ8ADI/s72-c/trio-house-eclipse.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28197217.post-6224937350976168917</id><published>2010-07-06T23:55:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-07-06T23:59:01.143+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dünya Kupası'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sulugreyfurt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='One Shot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='futbol'/><title type='text'>One Shot!

Esterházy, kitabında  1950’lerin efsanevi futbolcusu &lt;strong&gt;Ferenc Puskás&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="TR"&gt;’ın modern dünya için &lt;strong&gt;ideal bir metafor  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="TR"&gt;olduğunu düşündüğünü  yazıyor: “Puskás futbolun son tanınmış ismi, son yakından tanıdığımız  karakteri, modernitenin son ışığı. O hakiki metafora uzanan bir  yolculuk. Ondan sonra tek yıldız diye bir şey olmadı. Artık varoluş  durumuna uyacak cevaplar yok. Cruyff, Pelé, Maradona gibi,&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;cevapların  kaliteli kopyaları, örnekleri var.” Esterházy, bu iddialı sözlerini şu  şekilde bağlıyor: &lt;strong&gt;“Puskás’la oyun biter ve eğlence çağı başlar.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sulugreyfurt.com/post/729541680/one-shot-futbolda-habercilikten-otesi" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yazının devamı sulugreyfurt'ta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28197217-6224937350976168917?l=www.emrahguler.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/feeds/6224937350976168917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28197217&amp;postID=6224937350976168917&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6224937350976168917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28197217/posts/default/6224937350976168917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emrahguler.com/2010/07/one-shot-futbolda-habercilikten-otesi.html' title='One Shot!
