On the morning of September 11, 2001, Paul McCartney was in New York City on an airport runway waiting to fly to Britain. As he absorbed the news of the unfolding tragedy, he wondered, “What can I do?” The answer, of course, lay in music.
McCartney reached out to master documentarian and long-time friend Albert Maysles, inviting Maysles to document his personal experiences on 16mm black and white film, a format seldom used in the digital age but of proven endurance and artistic quality. Over several weeks in October 2001, Maysles’ camera followed McCartney as he prepared for The Concert for New York City, a benefit he helped organize to uplift New York City during this period of uncertainty and vulnerability. The footage went unseen for years, requiring the passage of time to be put in perspective. Now, ten years later, Maysles, his directing partner Bradley Kaplan and editor Ian Markiewicz have emerged with an intimate work that explores the role of art and artists in a time of crisis.

Sinatra: All or Nothing at All Season 1 part of TV Series: Sinatra: All or Nothing at All
director: 亚历克斯·吉布尼 actor: 珍·爱舍 / Nancy Barbato
SINATRA: All or Nothing at All is an up-close and personal examination of the life, music and career of the legendary entertainer. Told in his own words from hours of archived interviews, along with commentary from those closest to him, the documentary weaves the music and images from Sinatra's life together with rarely seen footage of Sinatra's famous 1971 "Retirement Concert" in Los Angeles. The film's narrative is shaped by Sinatra's song choices for that concert, which Gibney interprets as the singer's personal guide through his own life.

Live Aid was a dual-venue concert that was held on 13 July 1985. The event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously in Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as Australia and Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast.[2

FOX迄今为止最成功的电视连续剧。该剧最初是The Tracey Ullman Show的副产品,作为它的一分钟补白。 The Tracy Ullman Show的执行制片人,James L. Brooks 和 Sam Simon觉得这些人物可以做成一个半小时的电视剧,于是他们立刻动手,开始了这部在电视台黄金时间段,历时最久的卡通系列剧。
辛普森一家的频繁出场,让他们得到了广泛的认同,比如说,他们为Butterfinger Candy Bars做的大量商业广告。
“辛普森一家”最早是FOX喜剧小品“The Tracey Ullman Show”中的一系列动画小品,该动画主要刻画了辛普森一家在Springfield的生活。辛普森家的家长,Homer,他不是传统意义上的“居家男人”。他作为家长,努力想领导他的没大没小的家庭成员,可经常情况是,他才是那个被领导的。无论情况多困窘,辛普森一家幸福的住在一起。这个家庭里有loving,蓝头发的女家长Marge,麻烦大王-儿子Bart,优秀的出人意料的女儿Lisa,还有婴儿-Maggie。这个家庭从来不会变老,但Springfield小镇的背景却在随着年代变化。Springfield的居民通常由以下演员配音:Hank Azaria(包括Moe,酒保),Harry Shearer(Homer的老板Mr.Burns,邻居Ned Flanders)。著名的客串配音演员还有,迈克尔·杰克逊(饰一个神经病人,幻想自己就是迈克尔·杰克逊), 达斯汀·霍夫曼,Bob Hope, William H.Macy, Kathleen Turner, Johny Carson, Nsync, Paul McCarthey,甚至还有滚石乐队。

Devour the Earth (1995) [Movie] Douban
Devour the Earth
director: Tim Philips/Steve Connor actor: 保罗·麦卡特尼
other title: 吞噬地球
《吞噬地球》(Devour the Earth)是由英国素食协会和欧洲素食联盟所拍摄的纪录短片,并由享誉全球的素食人士,也是披头四合唱团(Beatles)成员的保罗·麦卡尼爵士(Sir Paul McCartney)担任旁白,影片尤具特色的开场白,则是出自斯洛维尼亚已卸任的第二任总统雅奈兹·德尔诺夫舍克博士之笔。
《吞噬地球》清楚说明了人类活动对环境所带来的后果,以及肉食对我们美丽珍贵的星球所造成的影响。目前由联合国及跨政府气候变迁小组(IPCC)所确认的科学证据,明确指出一个令人不寒而栗的事实:肉食是造成全球暖化的元凶,而且也对地球造成无数的负面影响。这部影片昭告世人,地球的生态平衡维持了四十亿年,却在过去工业革命兴起以来的两百年间遭到严重的破坏。片中所罗列的残酷事实,显示肉品工业正为地球带来许多灾难,在焚烧森林与牲畜排泄物两相结合之下,更促使大量二氧化碳排放至我们珍贵的大气层中。

1963年秋天,为了从红透半边天的甲壳虫身上赚笔钱,美国的United Artists和甲壳虫签约拍摄一部电影,目的是得以在美国推出电影的原声唱片。他们找到Walter Shenson做制片,Richard Lester导演,在1964年拍摄了电影A Hard Day's Night。
Shenson在1963年秋甲壳虫前往美国前与他们接触,要求他们为电影创作6首歌——题材不限,但要有两首抒情歌曲,两首快节奏的舞曲等等。在加勒比海度假期间,他们创作了八九首歌,Dick Lester从中选出了六首用于电影中,这些歌曲是:You Can't Do That、And I Love Her、I Should Have Known Better、Tell Me Why、If I Fell、I'm Happy Just to Dance with You。3月2日拍摄开始前,甲壳虫在伦敦EMI录音室里录制了这些歌曲。其中演奏You Can't Do That的部分在电影推出时被剪辑掉了,但之前就做为Can't Buy Me Love单曲的B面发行,也仍然出现在美国版的原声唱片上。
电影拍摄从3月2日开始,至4月24日结束。影片用夸张的手法描述甲壳虫一天的生活,其主题来自John Lennon说过的一句话。当Lester问John他们的瑞典之行如何时,John答道:“It was a room and a car and a car and a room and a room and a car.”这句话稍加变动后被用在电影里,变成了“Paul的爷爷”的台词。
Shenson原先以为他可以随便找一首新歌的歌名作为电影题目,但这六首新歌都不太合适。拍摄期间,大家绞尽脑汁为电影找一个合适的名字。最后有一天,John和他聊天时提起Ringo有趣的语言,并举出“A hard day's night”为例。John自己在刚出版的《In His Own Write》也曾经使用过这个短语。大家一致同意它可以作为电影题目。于是John按Shenson的嘱咐,以此为题创作了电影的主题歌,并在4月16日拍摄电影期间把它录制下来。
美国出版的电影原声唱片只包括这七首新歌,但为了Parlophone的英国唱片,他们在6月回到录音室,又录制了5首新歌: I'll Cry Instead、I'll be Back、Any Time At all、Things We Said Today和 When I Get Home。加上电影里使用的他们之前发行过的单曲Can't Buy Me Love,英国的专辑唱片里一共有13首歌,全部是甲壳虫的原创歌曲。这是他们第一次能够推出一张全部原创的专辑。
这一成就主要应归功于John Lennon当时旺盛的创作力。在这13首歌里,9首都是他主笔创作的。Paul主笔创作了3首歌,并和John合作为George创作了I'm Happy Just to Dance With You。当然,按照主创者主唱的原则,John在这张专辑中的主唱也远远超过其他三人,甚至没有给Ringo一个表现的机会。
A Hard Day's Night的电影成为摇滚电影的经典,教给整整一代年轻人反叛的原则,而这张专辑标志着甲壳虫的创作进入了一个新的阶段,我们可以把它叫做“早期阶段的中期”吧?

The Beatles stormed through Europe's music scene in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth culture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. All the while, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successful singles and albums. However the relentless pressure of such unprecedented fame, that in 1966 became uncontrollable turmoil, led to the decision to stop touring. In the ensuing years The Beatles were then free to focus on a series of albums that changed the face of recorded music.
